How do I attract the highest soul for the family? What a wonderful question!!!

(1) The very first step is to intend to attract the highest soul for your family.

(2) Become as clear as you can about what you mean by ‘attracting the highest soul for your family’ because that statement will probably mean different things to different people.

Sometimes it can be useful to acknowledge first what you don’t want as this brings you clarity about what you do want.

So for example, if you don’t want tension, arguments etc. They you also know that you do want harmony, peace and fun.

Many of us are operating from the belief that ’pain is necessary for growth’ or that ‘you can’t have it all’.

But we can create it the way we want it. And we can grow into more and more joy without experiencing the contrasts provided by extreme conditions of pain and suffering.

So be clear about what you would love for your baby, for yourself, for your family (focusing in particular on the feelings).

(3) Involve the rest of the family if that feels good.

 You can all join in together asking for the perfect baby who will thrive with you and with whom you will all thrive. You could draw a picture of the family with the new baby and everybody feeling really good, loved, cared for and happy.

(4) Know that it is alright to ask for what you really desire. You are a conscious creator and are here to experience the life that you love.

(5) Trust that it is already given.

So when you conceive and baby comes along just know that this soul is the perfect one for your family.

When we adopt that perspective we can easily see the opportunity for growth in everything that unfolds in your baby’s life.

This last tip also helps you stay grounded in your sacred feminine power because you realise that every situation regardless of how it appears, is calling forth in you your infinite wisdom, commpassion and power to turn challenge into gold.

What images come to mind when you hear the phrase ‘she fell pregnant’?

 The term ‘falling pregnant’ evokes in me an image of a careless woman tripping to the floor. It implies some mishap for sure and sounds as though pregnancy is something that has happened, by chance almost, to this woman.  

‘Falling pregnant’ conceals the truth. It hides the power of the woman who has chosen consciously to bring forth new life into the world through her body. It does not so much as hint at her ability to engage in deliberate creation.

 And it sounds as though her partner has done something to her…overlooking her joyful, conscious participation in co-creation with the father of her baby.

Words matter. They shape our experience. As one book reminds us ‘In the beginning was the word’. 

So I in invite you to acknowledge your power and consider ‘becoming pregnant’, ‘embracing pregnancy’ or ‘allowing pregnancy’ as you consciously participate in the magical conception of your new baby.

The only obstacles between you and pregnancy with a healthy baby are your current thoughts and beliefs (some may be unconscious).

So if you are asking this question from a place of joyful expectation knowing that in each moment you are moving towards the dream of becoming pregnant and giving birth to a happy, healthy baby….you are moving towards it.

If you are asking this question from a place of frustration and sadness, the message you are sending out to the universe is one of loss, powerlessness and fear.

In this frame of mind you are actually moving away from the joy of having the baby you want.

So stay focused on the pregnancy and your healthy baby. Imagine the circumstances in which you would love to conceive your baby.

See yourself glowing in pregnancy with a beautiful, big bump. Visualise the birth and baby emerging safely and gently with ease.

Hear the midwife congratulating you on your healthy, happy baby.

Feel fully the joy of that. Feel baby on your breast. Smell your baby. Hear the first cries.  

Revisit this scene often. And trust that it is coming at the very perfect moment for all of you.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome  (PCOS) occurs when the the body produces too many androgens (hormones) and the ovaries do not produce eggs.

Too much androgen prevents the eggs from developing fully and they end up as cysts in a woman’s ovaries.

At some level the body is not in vibrational alignment with allowing full expression of womanhood (in this case ovulating). There is something in the energy field (conscious or unconscious thoughts, beliefs and feelings) that is preventing successful ovulation.

Dr. Christine Northrup, who wrote Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom (a book I highly recommend), suggests that a woman can help to restore cyclic ovulatory function by exploring (and releasing) negative messages that she may have internalised from childhood about being a fertile woman.

You could begin this process by allowing yourself to write freely whatever comes up when you think of female fertility and fertile women.

Also, you might like to begin to imagine a tube containing the hormone androgen in your brain. Now visualise the volume of androgen reducing in quantity to a mark on the tube that says ‘optimum level for my healthy ovulation’.

Start talking to your ovaries and sending them love.

And you may be interested in learning the energy management system I teach in the Inspired Fertility Coaching Programme so that you can deliberately move up the vibrational scale into alignment with success in ovulating and all areas of your fertility.

Pregnancy….is this what you truly desire?

Or does it seem like the next goal to achieve in life? Are you sure that having a baby is really what YOU want?

It is ok to ask yourself those questions. Because you can do whatever feels right for you. You too are a unique expression of creation. You are not here to fit in with the crowd.

So if your approach to pregnancy is one of  ‘if it is meant to be’….you can give yourself permission to go deep into yourself and discover if  having a baby is what wants to be expressed through you now.

Your value as a person and a woman are intrinsic. They are not conditional on having a baby.

It is not unusual to want to have a baby and to hold the belief that becoming parents will interfere with your relationship, limit your freedom and tie you down.

So when you ask yourself if you really, really want a baby…ask from the place where anything is possible.

In other words, if you thought that being pregnant and having a baby could actually  enhance your relationship and bring you into a new freedom in your life what would you be doing?

This helps you discover what is really right for you now and also gets you in touch with energy that may be tangled in some way for you.

At around the 21st day following conception, a neural tube is formed in the embryo.

Initially, this tube does not close completely. Pores are present until the approx. the 25th day.  The last pores close on the 26th and 27th day of gestation and are at located at baby’s (the embryo’s) head and tail.

Spina Bifida is caused by failure of pore closure (J.Upledger).

So along with enjoying a healthy diet including folic acid, you can support your baby around this time by reminding him to close all the pores at the perfect time.

Visualise the tube closed fully and your baby enjoying excellent health and flexibility in his spine and body… now and after birth. You can also imagine a golden, nourishing light around your baby helping in this process.

Many of the questions I receive around challenges in fertility include within them a reason why this woman might be having difficulty.

For example, women comment on alcohol consumption, arguments with partners, abortion, previous miscarriage etc.

But what many of them are sharing is a sense that perhaps they don’t really, fully deserve to be the mother of a healthy, happy baby. 

What was your initial reaction when you read the title of this post?

 On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate yourself?

1=I am not really good enough to be a mother

10=I am SO good enough to be a mother

What are the images that came up for you when you read this. Where does your mind bring you….to the positive or to the negative?

If you are planning to become pregnant or have experienced challenges in your fertility, it can be useful to see whether your natural response is one of self-criticism or kindness to yourself.

If, somewhere, you are not quite sure if you are good enough to be a mother, your subconscious mind will find evidence of that belief.

Is that what you want? Is it time to release beliefs that take away from the wonder of who you are?

How could you begin that now… and take another step toward success in your fertility, joy in pregnancy and fulfillment in mothering your lovely, healthy baby?

There might have been a different energy around the love-making process…a sense of something magical.

Or you may just have a deep knowing that conception is taking place now.

I have also experienced an ‘aha moment’ ….the next morning….like a switch telling me I was pregnant. I heard this as the moment the sperm fertilised the egg.

When you look in the mirror you might perceive a difference….a glow in your being.

Without a doubt though, you body will be telling you what is going on in your fertility. When you have a good relationship with your body, you can hear this loud and clear.

You can learn how to tune into your body wisdom. This is an important part of my coaching programmes…helping you to hear clearly the sublte communications from your inner coach.

What are you noticing now?

The question ‘How can I cure my infertility’ came in again recently.

I will respond in several posts put for today I want to focus on the actual question itself.

As I have mentioned before, the quality of the answers you receive depends on the quality of the questions you pose (John D.Martini) and indeed they shape your life.

So this question about curing infertility is good. Within it lies a sense of hope. There is an assumption that your infertility can be cured. And that is pointing you in the right direction… facing fertility.

However, the word infertility can feel very heavy, like a life sentence of sorts. So while you are pointing toward fertility, you are left feeling somewhat weak.

I suggest a rewording… ‘How can I enhance my fertility and experience success in pregnancy and birth?’

This questions assumes fertility (even if it is limited in some way) and brings you into the outcome your really want..which is pregnancy, birth and a baby.

It is much easier to enhance something healthy that already exists than fix something that is ‘broken’.

So choose questions that empower you and assume fertility and your natural capacity to experience success in pregnancy, birth, parenting and beyond.

On my walk this morning, I was greeted by a German Shepherd careering downhill towards me.

A quick glance noted soft eyes and a wagging tail. This beautiful beast changed direction and followed me back uphill.

I surmised that she was lost and took it upon myself to see if I could locate an owner.

After an hour of delightful meanderings along roads and byroads, I came to the conclusion that it was time for me to return home. I just hoped that we would meet somebody who knew my canine companion.

Soon after, a woman stopped in a car to inform me that ‘Pupi ’has a reputation for following strangers and is well used to finding her own way home.

There are two lessons in this story:

(1) Often we assume others need our help and they absolutely do not!

(2) If we insist on taking responsibility, be sure to enjoy the scenery. In this way, when we discover that we are surplus to requirements we can still feel good about the journey.

When experiencing challenges in fertility, pregnancy, breastfeeding and relationship it can be very useful to ask: ‘What do I feel so responsible for?’, ‘Am I really responsible for this?’ and ’Can I let it go?’.

You can redirect this energy into creating time and space for you… and setting yourself up for success in fertility, pregnancy, relationship, birth and breastfeeding.
