Conception
Reflexology encourages essential energy to flow more freely around the body. Fertility represents this creative energetic potential found in each and every woman. This miracle of conception can be very straightforward for many, whereas others might come up against heartbreak and frustrations along the way to realising one of their most longed for dreams.
The subtle power of this therapy quickly brings about a state of ‘peacefulness’, and when the body regularly experiences this level of intense relaxation, deep layers of emotional, physical and mental stress quickly start to shed and fall away. It is almost unfathomable to consider how each and every one of us came to be here on this planet, and we cannot control when conception will occur exactly. Reflexology allows you to drop into a space of trust and acceptance that your body will be ready, and at exactly the right time, it will happen.
It might be the case that you have stopped taking contraception and are waiting ‘patiently', or perhaps you might have irregular periods or find it difficult to track ovulation. Reflexology can improve all kinds of factors that might be getting in the way of natural fertility. More and more people are finding that they want to take a pause from the ‘medically assisted’ conception routes by switching to a period of non-invasive complimentary therapy. This approach works by encouraging the innate rhythms of the menstrual cycle to return and brings into balance the hormones that initiate and support fertility. Regular treatments are a great way to start cultivating the best possible environment for this to happen within the body.
Reflexology can also have a vital supporting role when it comes to IVF. This holistic treatment does not interfere with the hormonal aspects of these therapies and the ‘uplifting’ effects of regular sessions actually do something to help the IVF get on and do its work! A course of treatments running alongside IVF often helps to better navigate the stressful and often gruelling phases of this more challenging path. It is a gentle way of promoting a better relationship with your body, encouraging deeper levels of self-forgiveness and restoring positivity on the way to meeting your future child.
