What is necessary to conceive a baby? Most of us understand on a purely physical level that conception requires fertilization between an egg cell and a sperm ce...ll. But of course it is not so simple, and many other things need to happen before egg and sperm can unite. . One of the things that needs to happen for fertilization to occur is an OPENING, on multiple levels (whether or not we are looking to conceive naturally or using ARTs). . From the perspective of the reproductive system, opening needs to happen in all of the female sex organs: the vagina, the cervix, the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and uterus. Of course these organs are never physically closed, but they can become constricted or tight due to various factors including muscle tension brought upon by fear or stress. . From the larger perspective of the uterus, growing a baby requires an opening (or expansion) of the uterus, and birthing a baby requires an opening of the pelvic floor and vagina to release the baby into the world. . Finally, if we consider Motherhood, conception requires that we make space not only in our homes, but also in the daily routine of our lives, to be able to give up much of ourselves to raise our young. . When you take all of this into account, we can really see that conception requires a deep opening in our: - Physical body - Emotional body (the heart) - Mental body (the mind) - As well as in our home and life! . Remember that our yoga practice can be a metaphor for how we act and move through life. When we begin to make space in both our physical, emotional, and mental body on our mat, we begin to have an easier time opening up space in our life to welcome a baby! . Tonight, in week 2 of my fertility yoga series, we will be exploring these principles . . . . #fertilityyoga #yogaforfertility #fertilityyogaonline #fertilityyogateacher #fertilitycoach #fertilitymindset #naturalfertility #fertilitysupport #fertilityjourney #breathewithlauren See more
