Is There A Missing Link in the Pursuit of Fertility?
Creating a new life is a time-honored blessing. At the same
time, infertility rates seem to be on the rise.
The good news is that there are many fertility routes available
today for couples trying to conceive a baby. More couples than
ever utilize an array of Assisted Reproductive Technologies
(ART), both with and without complementary or alternative
support. Other couples are trying to overcome medical
limitations of various kinds that appear to be interfering with
successful pregnancy. The bad news is that, despite all these
efforts, a surprising number of couples are suffering because of
having been told they have an unexplained fertility problem.
What's more, trying to conceive can be an expensive venture,
sometimes costing in the tens of thousands of dollars. It is
therefore vital to optimize the chances of success, especially
because conception assistance programs may not have anywhere
near as high a success rate as hoped.
How can we optimize our chances of success? Well, that is a good
question. Everyone trying to conceive falls on a spectrum of
life energy and intention energy that is somewhere between
fertility and infertility. Knowing where one is on that spectrum
is crucial. Even though highly experienced fertility doctors and
practitioners are aware of this, most rarely assess or
sufficiently treat this key fertility factor. The women and
couples I have assisted for over a decade with fertility and
pregnancy issues have taught me that this seems to be the
missing link in the pursuit of fertility - the key fertility
factor.
I love using the analogy of a flower or vegetable garden because
everyone knows that the right environment is needed in order to
reap the rewards of a garden. Any avid gardener will tell you
there are specific types of energy required for enjoying a
productive and fertile outcome. The soil needs to be healthy,
fertilized, tilled and tended. The right amount of water, air
and sunshine are also needed. And, weeds need to be kept out of
the garden. Only when all these forms of energy are provided can
seeds can be planted that will root, grow, and develop into a
beautiful, healthy garden. The more these ingredients are
missing, the more the results are likely to suffer.
The same is true when creating a fertile internal garden in
which the seeds of life can be successfully planted and
nurtured. The equivalent of healthy, tilled and tended soil is
balancing your life energy in favor of successful conception and
pregnancy. The equivalent of fertilizer is maintaining clear and
unconflicted intention energy, not only hormonal balance and
proper nutrition. Pulling the weeds means removing unhealthy
energy, conflicted intentions and other blocks that may exist.
Women having difficulty conceiving tend to not realize that
their life is their garden, not merely their womb. Many women's
lives tend to be jam-packed with work, or they are so stressed
they don't have an extra moment to nurture themselves in a day's
time.
Or they have become so out-of-balance emotionally, that
these emotional weeds are choking out the potential for seeding
and sprouting. In other words, their energy is not conducive to
creating a garden in which successful conception and pregnancy
can occur. There is nothing mystifying at all about why so many
of these women have fertility problems or miscarriages: their
"fertility switch" is "off!" When on a fertility journey, it is
vitally important to make choices that women, and their men as
well, to begin tipping their life energy in favor of fertility.
A place to begin this tipping process is with a particular type
of energy on the energy spectrum, called intention energy.
Intention means being deliberate and purposeful. Obviously,
successful conception and birth is an intention. The problem is
that, on the spectrum of fertility and infertility, many women
do not know that they have been tipping their scales in favor of
infertility. They do not recognize how their worry, despair,
sadness and fear about their unsuccessful efforts (in addition
to other issues they have) are energies tilting their momentum
away from getting pregnant. Their hope, trust and knowing that
they can become a mother become hard-to-see specks of light.
If this has occurred for you, your energy is favoring
infertility. Here is the fertility key: To access fertility, you
must have the largest portion of your life energy and intention
energy favoring fertility. Your intention and focus needs some
redirection. This is not always easy to do because it is
emotionally painful to want a baby and start a cycle every
month, or to want a baby and fail one or more IVF cycles, or to
miscarry.
Being effectively intentional and focused is a learned skill.
Learned skills require knowing what to practice, and then
practicing them. What you want to learn and practice is
effective ways of turning your infertility switch "off" and your
fertility switch "on." I wish you fertile blessings on your
journey.
