Pregnancy and Fertility- Opening up to Becoming Pregnant
November 28th, 2007Your body is an amazing collection of 50 trillion cells. Each cell has its own purpose for being. Together these cells create a community with a common vision…..being you!
Sometimes when your body is not functioning in the way you expect, there is a tendency to view it as broken or inadequate in some way. You may feel that it is letting you down, that there is something wrong. And indeed this is the dominant world view.
However, like any view, this is only one perspective. It can be very useful for us to see the experience of fertility or infertility through a wider lens.
There is great wisdom in your beautiful body. Allowing yourself to get in touch with this wisdom opens the way for a new relationship with your body.
As in any relationship, it is so much easier to thrive and flourish when your are in a loving, caring environment in which you are honoured and respected.
You can support your body and your fertility by befriending it now, by beginning to value it, by listening to what it is saying and by nourishing it.
I invite you to begin by writing a letter to your body, stating all that is wonderful about it. Because it is wonderful. And it deserves to be celebrated just the way it is.
By shifting your attention to what is right in your body, you are opening up to greater health and creating a space that is truly compatible with healthy, happy pregnancy.
In joy,
