AFFIRMATIONS

Our beliefs, thoughts, ideas, and the way we think, creates our feelings. Our feelings determine much of our behaviour. One very effective way to change the way we think is through the use of affirmations. If we are feeling negative this is reflected in our behaviour and our interpretation of our life. The more negative we feel the more negativity we seem to attract into our lives. However, you can stop the flow of negativity and change the direction of your life using positive affirmations.

“We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.”

Kahil Gibran.

Many factors underlie your ability to conceive, not just your reproductive system! Your reproductive system is only one part of the bigger picture. In order to conceive your body relies on a delicate balance between many systems including your endocrine, immune and neurological systems. They all need to be working in harmony for conception to occur and that includes your mind and body connection. Your body is obviously essential but your mind and spirit also play a huge role in your ability to conceive. Your mind can create physical changes in your body starting at a cellular level as Louise Hay suggests in her books.

Therefore, your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs have an impact on your body, and when you change your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs, you change your body and enhance your natural fertility.

For some of you reading this, these statements will resonate. Others may think it is a load of twaddle, ‘how is this possible’ you may be thinking. Read on and we will discuss how your thoughts feeling and beliefs can affect your natural fertility, and how you can identify and change your thoughts, beliefs and emotions, which may be blocking your fertility.

While it may feel strange to imagine the possibility that your thoughts and emotions can create changes in your body, there are many examples of this occurring.

¨ Think of a time you felt apprehensive, did you have knots or ‘butterflies’ in your stomach? Your emotions caused those physical changes in your body.

¨ After a stressful day at work you end up with a tension headache. Again that is the effects of emotion on our physical well-being.

Therefore, if we accept that the power of our minds, our thoughts and emotions can have a physical effect on our body, it seems likely that it can have a huge impact on our fertility. How do we stop our negative thoughts and beliefs impacting on our natural fertility? How does this relate to you and your partner, you may ask yourself? Louise Hay suggests that our ailments and dis-eases are a mirror of our inner thoughts and beliefs. She believes that every cell within our body responds to all our thoughts, and eventually produces behaviours, postures and dis-eases if our thoughts are constantly negative. Therefore, if we think and speak in a positive way in the present tense we can release our negativity and allow positive healing from a cellular level.

Affirmations are positive statements, which you repeat to yourself daily, preferably whilst you are in a relaxed frame of mind and looking at yourself in a mirror. Don’t worry if you feel self -conscious staring at yourself in the mirror as you repeat your affirmations, you will soon get used to it and feel comfortable and more confident as time goes by. The effects are enhanced when you look in the mirror because you are focused and communicating with yourself at the core of your being. Another very effective time to practice your affirmations is during meditation or a hypnotic state (alpha state), which may be even more powerful for you. The reason is that when you are deeply relaxed in an alpha state your subconscious is dominant over your conscious mind. This allows your suggestions to pave the route for positive change. We are all individuals, so experiment and find out which method works for you.

Repetition is the secret to success! By saying your affirmations at least 15 times a day for at least 30 days, which is the time it takes for it to become a positive new habit you can change the direction of your life.

A French physician called Emile Coue made the concept of affirmations famous. Coue was responsible for thousands of remarkable documented healings at the beginning of the 20^th century. His remedy was to combine the benefits of western medicine with the power of affirmations. His patients were asked to repeat positive healing affirmations in a relaxed frame of mind.

Coue’s most famous affirmation was ‘every day in every way, I am getting better and better.’ Notice that this is said in the present tense focusing on a positive outcome. Culturally we are programmed to focus on the negative in our lives and bemoan about the things we don’t want in our lives such as ‘I don’t like my job.’ The more you dwell on what you don’t want the more you attract it. Change your negative thoughts to positive to attract what you do want ‘I am open and receptive to a wonderful new job.’ Learn to think in positive affirmations, and always make it in the present tense. If you refer to your wishes for the future that is where they will remain, in the future!
