Fear is usually one of the most incapacitating and res­trictive things in a per­sons life. It can be anything like fear of spiders, fear of crowds or fear of relation­ships and it seems the list is just endless.

I, like most people, have a variety of fears in my life but fear of flying was never one of them.

A few years back I was going on a business trip with my business associates and we got on a plane that was taking us from Zurich to Berlin.

It was a small air­craft with one or two seats on both sides of the isle and it was raining quite heavily.

Once in the air and the com­plimen­tary tea had been served and indul­ged the plane suddenly star­ted bum­ping and jum­ping a bit. Since I’d been spen­ding a lot of time in air crafts I wasn’t daun­ted at all and car­ried on with my reading or whatever it was I was doing at the time.

Suddenly the plane was struck by lightning.

Now that woke me up in a big way and I glan­ced over at the flight atten­dant and saw her looking profoun­dly anxious and scared and I was equally scared and shocked.

At least for a fraction of a second.

Then ever­ything became totally quiet and calm and from a state of shock and fran­tic fear a smile suddenly emer­ged on my face and I felt a profound sense of being in the moment. Com­pletely accep­ting my fate and I was a hun­dred per­cent con­vin­ced this was it.

My life was about to end.

I remem­ber seeing most people on the plane being in a state of emotio­nal chaos and fear but I also remem­ber looking into the eyes of one of my friends on the plane and he was in the same state as me. Smiling and com­pletely calm and accep­ting that death was imminent.

I also recall thinking:

“Aha, so this is it. Well I’ve had an amazing life and I’m totally ready to leave planet earth behind.”

And this was quite some time before my con­scious spiritual jour­ney ever started.

After a few more moments of mid air chaos the craft stabilized and I unders­tood my time had not come yet and I was actually going to survive this.

There is probably a highly scien­tific explanation for the way I reacted having to do with endor­phins and/or adrenaline being released in the bloods­tream when this kind of choc­king occur­rence is experien­ced but I still think there’s an extremely impor­tant les­son to be learnt form this to reduce the crip­pling fear in our lives:

Com­pletely accept whatever may happen.

In 1993 I saw a movie called Fear­less that I really liked and it was actually about a similar thing where the main actor survives a plane crash and becomes com­pletely fear­less. For me it only las­ted a little while and then the old fears came back but for the movie character it las­ted for a prolonged time.

Many of us have a desire to con­trol ever­ything in our lives and then when we experience situations where we seem to lose that con­trol anxiety often arises.

The amount of con­trol we actually have can be discus­sed from a variety of stand­points such as psychological, scien­tific and spiritual(Law of attraction) but for instance it seems evident that even the strongest proponents of The Law Of Attraction don’t always experience only what they “want” and you probably won’t either.

James Arthur Ray’s tragic “Sweatbox” accident and Joe Vitale’s trip to Rus­sia quic­kly comes to mind.

There are several different tech­niques to deal with feelings of fear, stress and worry and one method where I use accep­tance is what I call “The King­son Accep­tance Method” and it has actually been more effective than anything else I’ve tried including Reiki Healing, Chinese Ener­getic Medicine, EFT and Theta Healing.
