Boosting Fertility through the Power of Your Mind

Most people are unaware of how difficult it might be to get pregnant. In fact, most people are convinced it is too easy, and more attention is focused on the problems of avoiding pregnancy rather than encouraging it.

But for couples who long for a child and find themselves unable to conceive, the difficulty of conception can become a very lonely place. The stress of infertility impacts all areas of their life – social, financial, physical, emotional and can create a lot of tension in their relationship.

Infertility can lead to an exceptionally high mental and emotional anxiety. Studies have shown that psychological stress impacts the female reproduction organs including ovaries, follicles and oocytes. Additionally, increased levels of stress hormones such as cortisol reduce estradiol production which results in deterioration of egg quality and a negative impact on the ovulation cycle and menstruation. Higher levels of stress in general are associated with a longer time-to-pregnancy (TTP) and increased risk of infertility in both men and women.

If a couple tried to conceive for several years or has undergone a series of assisted reproductive procedures without success, the problem might be more than just physical. There are well known methods that naturally enhance fertility such as nutrition, supplements, sleep, exercise and meditation.

But how can we enhance fertility by taking the mind-body connection to the next level?

What is in the mind influences what is happening in the body. And we have several proven techniques at our disposal that can considerably contribute to the success rate of natural conception, IVF or other assisted reproductive methods.

Creative visualization is one of the easiest ways to enhance your conception success. It is a mental process of creating visual imagery of the goal or state that you want to achieve. It includes experiencing the emotions and feelings associated with the desired outcome, in this case a pregnancy. This elevates your internal and external vibrations and releases any resistance in the physical body, allowing for conception to take place naturally.

Connecting with the energy of the baby is another technique that is helpful in preparing the energetic body of the mother for pregnancy. It helps women connect with and clear the way for the baby to transition from spiritual to the physical realm. During this process, the future mothers connect to the energetic frequency of the baby through raising their own vibration. This process involves taking an inward journey and calibrate to the energy of the baby. During this experience, women build a deeper connection within themselves, and with their future as a mother. A certified hypnotherapist can be a trusted guide on this very intimate and personal journey.

Heartache and desperation resulting from infertility is often increased by physical and emotional rigors of the treatment and puts a huge psychological burden on the couple. Our heart influences everything, including our physical and emotional health. Heart-centered meditations and heart coherence techniques help heal the emotional wounds and the feelings of heavy or broken heart. When we connect with our heart, we are able to move beyond our limitations and open the way to intuition and healing.

Simple technique of Heart-focused breathing can be used several times a day to connect with the energy of our heart and facilitate mental and emotional wellbeing. In order to do this type of breathing, simply focus your attention in the area of the heart. Imagine your breath is flowing in and out of the heart or chest area. Breathing a little slower and deeper than usual. Try to feel like the energy up in the head is now flowing down into the heart. Keep your focus there and breathe deeply and slowly in a casual steady rhythm that feels comfortable to you. Focus on feeling of calm and balance.

The Quick Heart Coherence Technique can help ease the stress before the IVF procedure or in any stressful situation. It is useful for restoring balance or flow when you are feeling worried, overwhelmed or discouraged. To do this technique, start with the heart-focused breathing. After a few minutes, make a sincere effort to experience a regenerative feeling such as appreciation or care for someone or something in your life. Perhaps you can reexperience a time when you felt love or appreciation for a person, a pet, a time in nature, or an accomplishment. Make this feeling as real as you can and feel it in your heart. And with each breath, breathe in the gratitude for those moments. Continue for 4-5 minutes. As you are doing this exercise, you are increasing your heart-brain coherence level, your nervous system is synchronized, hormones are being released into your system that regenerate you and signals from your heart to your brain are moving through your emotional and higher brain centres. This opens the door for you to experience more uplifting emotions and access your intuitive insight.

Sometimes we discover that the emotional blocks that may be preventing a successful conception and pregnancy exist on the subconscious level. This can be due to previous miscarriages, abortions, a still birth or simply an emotional event in the past that has not been completely healed and integrated on the subconscious level. Feelings of grief, powerlessness, anger, pessimism or fear can all create blocks and limitations on the conscious or subconscious level that need to be addressed in order for the positive vibration of the body to naturally rise and allow conception to take place.

Age Regression Therapy is one of the most transformative experiences that helps uncover these subconscious blocks and provide learning, understanding and healing of the underlying events or emotions. Clearing these blocks opens the energy field and allows the mental, emotional, physical and psychological balance to be restored. This in turn helps the woman take her power back, release any subconscious resistance and get to a place of peace, acceptance and joy in anticipation of her pregnancy.

Journaling, Affirmations and Vision boards can also create a feeling of positive expectation and help women overcome negative emotions related to their conception journey. When used in conjunction with meditation and mindfulness practices, these techniques bring a sense of control, calmness and renewed hope into the hearts and minds of future mothers and help overcome the psycho-emotional issues that may be contributing to infertility.

Utilizing the mind-body connection may be the last step on your successful fertility journey.
