With heightened security fears, shrinking legroom and fees for everything, stress and anxiety levels in air travel have never been so high.
However Delta Air Lines thinks it may have a solution.
The carrier is adding popular meditation app ‘OMG. I Can Meditate!’ to its in-flight TV allowing passengers to find their zen at 35,000 feet.
Rather than fighting for every inch of armrest space with a seatmate, passengers can learn meditation exercises like ‘Relaxing in the Clouds,’ ‘Blanket of Love,’ and ‘Dealing with Anxiety.’
"We’re really excited to have our guided meditations included on Delta’s in-flight entertainment system. We’ve had a lot of great feedback from people who have enjoyed more relaxing flights having used our program," said Garner Bornstein, co-founder of OMG. I Can Meditate!
"Many people experience travel-related stress, whether a fear of flying or family or business-related pressures waiting upon arrival. Meditating on board can be a really helpful, and enjoyable, way to alleviate this stress. Plus, an airplane is probably the only public place there is where you can look perfectly normal just sitting there with your eyes closed."
The app is also featured on Air Canada’s in-flight entertainment system.
"Flying can be a highly stressful event but now with meditation at your fingertips, you can zen out in the clouds," Lynne Goldbergm the app’s meditation coach said.
