Thanks for the video 🙂 I suffer from the "have to" issue a lot hehe I'm making progress

This was so helpful, thanks! I get increasingly anxious in the day before and the hours leading up to the flight - doing exactly this kind of 'if there's no turbulence it will be fine, if there is turbulence it will be terrifying' thinking, and it's good to get perspective on a 'good flight' will be if there is anything uncomfortable that my coping mechanisms deal with it.

this is amazing!!! really helpful stuff 👍

Life would be so much better without turbulence :(. I would love to reach the stage when you enjoy it ... am struggling big time, even if the videos help. I would like to have a short video with a recap of the breathing exercices, mantras and how to position the hands during turbulence ..

I'll give you suggestions some thoughts as I contemplate the next series of videos for 2022. For now, appreciate not just the turbulence is to be expected on each flight, but it is a rather healthy outcome of the earth's rotation on its axis, our orbit around the sun, that the earth's surface is 75% water, and we exist in a dynamic atmosphere. Movement of air from high to low pressure areas is like the earth's lungs breathing, moving air masses, and often carrying water to where it's needed. It's an inconvenience for travellers and pilots alike, but its existence is rather necessary for survival. Ultimately, you may welcome its presence, knowing that - with seat belt on - you are safe if not uncomfortable. Strong rivers of air can mean a bumpy flight one way, but go the other way, and you reach your destination earlier, with a reduced fuel burn.

Doing my first solo flight next week. I just don't like the feeling of flying the stomach dropping etc ... :(

@@Richard-lp7pp You feel MORE at the back because the plane's "tail" tends to wag a little because of balance and centre of gravity. I purposely fly with my patients on our return flights act the back of the plane (eg row 26 out of total of 30) so they experience entering the place at the rear (if the airport allows) and experiences more bumps - I also ask them to leave their aisle seat after the seat belt sign comes off and the cabin can start working, They have about 7 minutes to walk to the front of the plane, say hullo to the cabin manager and walk back. I show them the best way to walk and balance doing this, because sooner or later on their own flight they will have to get up and walk.

@@lesposen Hello. I thought I'd just update you after my first 2 solo flights.. I managed it with ease.. Such a relief. I can honestly go on a flight tomorrow alone again. In fact I started to enjoy the return flight taken in the views from takeoff. More calm you are the easier it becomes.. Thanks for the advise in your videos. I wish I tackled this sooner..Now I can explore the world quicker :). Take care.
