Infertility - Imagery for Infertility

Infertility is defined as the failure to conceive after a year of regular intercourse without contraception. Infertility is a heart-wrenching condition that affects nine million American couples each year.

Infertility causes tremendous stress, pressure and a feeling of out of control. It can trigger debilitating sadness and depression, and can tear a marriage to pieces. Mean and women alike state that they feel a loss in their masculinity and feminist. Sex seems more like a process than "making love".

The effects of infertility can throw a person totally out of control, overwhelmed and in a state of panic. They had no realization that attempting to get pregnant could be so difficult on them as well as the relationships with others. Marriages often become strained.

Research has shown that women going through infertility treatments rated themselves as having higher levels of depression than women going through cancer treatment.

Infertility often robs a person of control and the ability to make choices, leaving them vulnerable to sadness, isolation, anger and feelings of hopelessness.

Women need support, encouragement and help with fertility treatments. Alice Domar, Director of the Mind/Body Program for Infertility has shown that with relaxation techniques including imagery, women not only regain control over their lives, but boost their chances of becoming pregnant.

The use of imagery during the infertility process allows a woman to maintain peace, dignity and hope.

"Stay calm, stay happy and never lose hope."
If you want to have a child,
by some way and by some means, you will!

The use of imagery for help with fertility promotes a sense of hope, inner strength and peace during times of uncertainties. Imagery provides an opportunity to learn ways to slow down your racing busy thoughts and mind and obtain a sense of peace, calm and tranquility.

Imagery gives you tools to stay focused on the end result - that being conceiving a child and bringing life into this world.

The Imagery Process for Fertility Help

When a person is relaxed mentally and physically, imagery is more successful. The more relaxed a person is, the more that they are in dream-like state, the more apt the conscious mind will be in tuned to listen and respond.

In addition, the more a person practices imagery and is able to become attuned to their inner thoughts and beliefs, the sooner a person will achieve results. With many people, results can be seen almost instantaneously. Guided Imagery is safe, inexpensive and clinically proven to have remarkable effects on a person's physical and mental well being.

Guided Imagery Process:

1. Go to a quiet place, free yourself from outside interruptions for approximately 25 minutes.
2. Prepare a CD player, IPOD or computer. (Using head phones makes the experience even more private and relaxing).
3. Allow yourself to get into a comfortable position.
4. Slowly, to yourself repeat one of these words (relax, or peace, or calm) over and over.
5. Take some slow deep breaths as you continue to become settled.
6. Turn on the CD player (Ipod, computer)
7. You can either keep your eyes open or close them, there is no right or wrong way.
8. Continue to take slow deep breaths and allow yourself to become settled, relaxed and at ease.
9. Listen to the soothing voice and tranquil music of imagery story
10. Within minutes, you will feel relaxed, calm and at ease.

Taking Back Charge of Your Life - Positive Thinking

Affirmations

Every thought that comes into our mind, is a belief. As we know, our beliefs and thoughts are not always the truth. They are just thought patterns that we have developed over the years. These negative thought patterns can be obstacles and destructive for our jobs, relationships and health.

Negative thoughts and beliefs can be major obstacles for us, preventing us to achieving what is necessary for happiness, success and for achieving what we want and need in life. Our thoughts are simply our "perceptions" of what is real. We are capable of changing and redirecting our thoughts and beliefs at any given moment.

When we "make firm" a thought or belief, it is called an affirmation. Every thought we think, every word that you say is an affirmation. It is a two-way communication with the mind.

Affirmations can be either positive or negative.
They are based on your internal beliefs.
They WILL create your reality.

Negative and Positive Affirmations
influence your finances, health,
relationships and every aspect of your life

Positive affirmations are short statements that have the ability to redirect a person's thoughts, attitudes, behaviors, to create what is desired. The use of Affirmations is a two-way communication with the subconscious mind. The brain responds quickly and easily to thoughts - affirmations.

• What a person thinks about determines the way they feel and act throughout the day.
• Thoughts determine emotions
• Emotions determine Actions (reactions)
• Actions lead to results
• If you want to change results - you must change your thoughts
  
  Affirmations can “redirect your thoughts to create”

• Self - confidence
• Self-control
• Changes desired
• Good health
• Motivation
• Empowerment
• Success
• Positive Results

Example of negative, unconstructive beliefs

• I'll never be able to do that
• I'm not smart enough
• People don't respect me
• I'm too fat
• I'm not pretty enough
• I never do anything right
• I'm so nervous
• I'm so unhappy - I feel like I want to expload

It is important to replace all negativity with positive. Focus on what you have - not what you don't have. Our beliefs and perceptions can be changed.

Replace with positive statements (Affirmations)

• I CAN do this
• I have what it takes to do this
• People respect me
• I am my perfect weight

• I am calm, confident and relaxed
• I choose happiness

How to Use Affirmations

• Say in front of mirror - enhances belief

  *** Personal Note from Diane:
  
  I was personally challenged by over 12 years by infertility and infertility treatments. The use of imagery and affirmations taught me ways to embrace my emotions work through them and move on with Confidence and Courage
  
  I now have two wonderful daughters, ages 14 and 18.
  
  I believe more than anything that my children are a Gift from God.
  Guided Imagery has been my gift to give back to others.
  
  I now have a private practice "coaching women" through infertility treatments.
  
  ***** I know what you are going through, please give yourself a "gift"
  and let me help you through this difficult time.
