The Travel Angel:

Most people underestimate the amount of water they should drink while flying.

It is suggested that you should drink 8 Oz of water for each hour of flying.

Water helps get rid of toxins, keeps the brain healthy and it helps offset jet lag. It also helps with fatigue and the dryness we experience from air pressure.

It does help to get a bottle of water after you’ve gone through security.

You are much more likely to drink more if you have that water handy.

So drink lots of water!

You are Flying!

Most people never take any time to just stop and experience the fact that they are flying.

On a small plane you can’t avoid that experience. But Big planes are designed with so many distraction tha you often don’t stop to really experience and feel that you are at 33,000–49,000 feet in the air flying at approximately 550 mph.

It is really pretty miraculous. So take just a few moments to stop and

Feel the experience.

The majority of commercial aircraft are designed to be pressurized to the equivalent of an elevation of 6,000 to 8,000 feet about 11 pounds per square inch. This decreased pressure environment diminishes our bodies’ ability to absorb oxygen. Passengers may experience fatigue, nausea, headaches, sleeplessness, and (on extended flights) even pulmonary oedema. Also, you may find when you start to stress out you are breathing very shallowly. One way to instantly get into the Now is by breathing. Taking deep breaths will calm your mind, give you that more of that oxygen you need and relax your body and mind. REMEMBER
TO BREATHE>

The Travel Angel:

When you are going through TSA and security

it really helps to take a few breaths and say to yourself

FOCUS.

This is where things can can lost or stolen.

So take extra care and take a moment to check

you have everything with you after it's been scanned.

If you are traveling with someone have them go through

scanning a few minutes before you so

they can watch your stuff if you are delayed with body scans.

The Travel Angel:

Traveling is a great leveling Field.

And as such, there are many lessons

that you can learn by the way you navigate the maze

of getting where you need to go.

A good attitude is very helpful .

You are really not considered special by a TSA agent, so

it is very useful to check your ego with your bags,

And then when you are subjected to being treated like just another

Person of thousands going through security, you won’t mind

When you feel like it’s a cattle call.
Don’t take it personally, everyone is just doing their jobs.

The Travel Angel:

This is from the Frommers Nesletter

Arthur and Pauline Frommer have a wonderful radio show and a newsletter newsletters@frommers.com

They shared this on a recent newsletter

The Passage of time gives us pause to ponder the question of why we travel

We travel as an expression of passion for the world.

We travel to ardently pursue all we hope to discover.

We travel to be surprised, so that we don't stop questioning.

We travel to exchange ideas, beliefs and values.

We travel to cultivate compassion, to stretch our hearts and expand our

souls.

We travel to see someone smile, and smile back at them.

Safe House in your soul

If you find yourself Frazzled or in a spin,

Take a few breaths and go within

There is a Safe house in your soul,

Where you can be clear,

And let all your worries go.

Be in the Silence and you will find,

You can refocus and renew your Peace of Mind

“The journey not the arrival matters.” – T. S. Eliot

So think of the coming and goings of the trip as a wonderful maze that you travel.
It is all of part of the package of travel and learning how to deal with it
can really change your whole travel experience.

Restoring input

When you travel you are bombarded with

Huge amounts of energy that you need to output.

and all the while you are also receiving a massive

amounts of sensory input.

The sounds of a plane, what you need to see just to get

where you are going, the bad air you breathe, the junk food you eat and caffeine you drink all can easily deplete and exhaust you.

All of this can take away your energy and make you sick.

Take some time to breathe, relax and restore yourself.

Wear a soothing eye mask, drink lots of bottled water and go within.

Feel the Ease of Peace

Let the struggles go

All that you’ve been fighting for

has worn the weary soul.

Feel the ease of being in the moment

Let all the work of Life

Slip from your shoulders

And let it fall.

You are here in spirit

You are in this space.

Let the light of presence

Heal you with it’s Grace.

Open up your heart

Open up your mind.

Breathe in the ease of being here

And let it calm your mind.

There is a Peace that passeth understanding

Be in that Peace right now

Many airports now have a prayer or meditation room.

It is well work going online to see if the airport you are

going to has one. There is one in Phoenix, Detroit, Milwaukee, Newark,

Port Columbus, Albuquerque, Albany and many others. Most times these are non-denominational rooms that are quiet and a wonderful place to recharge you batteries and find some peace. Check the Airport you’ll be going to and see if they have one. You’ll be glad you did.

When you travel you are given a Golden Opportunity

To turn off your electronic devices.

Be prepared, you may go through some withdrawal.

But what an opportunity to stop your addiction to your

Texting and being constantly in the mind.

Take this time to go within

Be still, Stop the mind.

Stop everything that is distracting

and relax, breath and be still

and be with who you are.

Just be.

Only those who go where few have gone can see what few have seen.
- Buddha
How far do you go and what do you see?
And when you go far and see much, how much do you learn and change?
How much of your true self is revealed and how much of that self is willing to fully express itself?
What does going far within and without lead you to find?

Get a Journal for your travels.

Let your soul speak to you there.

Write down your intentions for your trip.

Let the words you write express your feelings, your lessons,

Your impressions and how you are doing.

What sounds, what colors, what magic. Let it be a bridge between your mind and your soul.

Your travel journal is a living energy, it can be full of pictures, tickets, sketches and momentoes.

Moments captured in your journal.
