The Holiday Effect

The Holiday Effect

What is it about a holiday that works miracles on couples who have been going through IVF, sometimes for years, trying to conceive?
As soon as they stop “trying”, stress levels drop, the body and mind relax and the blocks to fertility are released. Levels of the stress hormone cortisol drop when you physically take a break, allowing the hormonal system to re-balance and the reproductive system to function smoothly.
The diagnosis of unexplained fertility is stressful in itself, without the invasive procedures of assisted reproductive technology.
Create the holiday effect wherever you are, by learning and using mind/body skills to reduce stress, balance emotions, and enhance the chances of conception.
Please share this blog with anyone you know that is on a fertility journey: I would be keen to start a Fertility Mind/Body Support Group, with mindfulness meditation and other relaxing and empowering techniques.
Let me know, and I wish you well.
