Is it becoming more difficult for women to get pregnant?
Part I of III
As women
come to me again and again with this problem, and an unfulfilled desire to have
children brings intense psychological weight, I would like to clarify the issue
in this article. This article is the result of my experience and does not claim
to be exhaustive.
Difficulties
becoming pregnant are more common than it is often assumed. 15 to 20% of
all couples with the desire to have children are affected by this problem. The
tendency is increasing because the age of the couples wishing to have children
is rising.
There are
probably many reasons why women who want children are not getting pregnant. (I
will not enter into the male reasons regarding this issue)
If the
desire to have children were to be materialized it should be considered that
the reasons for blockages can be found on four merged interacting levels:
Everyone
can probably easily understand that it can be difficult to become pregnant if
you have the following symptoms:
ovarian
cysts
irregular
periods or problems having a period
endometriosis
difficult
sexuality
hormone
disorders
dysfunctional
sexual organs
But what if
women are organically healthy and have no gynaecological problems and it just does
not work?
The
following list of symptoms can give you information on possible reasons:
BACK PAIN can indicate that there are already too many burdens in life.
Women who perceive a pregnancy as an additional burden unconsciously shy
away from taking on yet another burden.
SHOULDER PROBLEMS can be a sign of having taken on too much responsibility and it seems
impossible to take on even more responsibility.
STOMACH, KIDNEY or LIVER DISORDERS are often the result of unreleased emotions such as
anger and fear. (You will read below how negative emotions can affect a
pregnancy) Strong stomach, liver and kidney meridians are needed for pregnancy.
A woman who has suffered from anorexia or bulimia in earlier years should pay
attention that these meridians, as well as the large intestine and small
intestine meridians, are in balance.
MIGRAINES
and HEADACHES can mean that there are problems listening to the needs of your
belly or body.
INSOMNIA
or sleeping disorders indicate that the triple warmer meridian is not in
balance and that there is too much stress in your life that cannot be handled. When
the triple warmer meridian is overactive the spleen meridian gets depleted. On
an energetic level the spleen is like a good mother and is especially important
for pregnancy.
COLD FEET and HANDS indicate an imbalance of kidney and spleen meridians; both
meridians should be in balance for pregnancy.
Neither
being underweight or overweight is conductive for pregnancy.
On the
chakra level you need to bring balance to
the
first Chakra that relates to security, stability and being grounded
the
second Chakra that is our centre for relationships; the embryo is nurtured within
its energy
the
third Chakra that governs the organs you need for pregnancy: the stomach,
liver, kidney, spleen, large intestine, small intestine and gall bladder
meridian. This chakra stands also for your own power, strength and identity
the
eighth Chakra that you need in order to manifest your wish to get pregnant
Our bodies give
us clear messages and would like to be heard. Understanding our body language
helps to dissolve blockages and to rebalance.
What can you do?
Energy
Medicine, acupuncture, acupressure and Chakra-Clearing are brilliant
possibilities to correct the imbalances in the body. If you need support in
this area I would be very glad to offer my help.
Furthermore,
I recommend the exercises of Donna Eden, which are described in her book ‘Energy
Medicine for Women’.
Make sure
you have a balanced diet, sufficient sleep and enough exercise.
