Negative feelings and unexpressed emotions such as the anguish, guilt, stress, anxiety and shame can create extreme emotional conflict and has a direct causative effect on the endocrine (hormonal) system. These can diminish overall feelings of safety and cause a woman to live in a state of constant fear. She may try to forget these negative feelings, but the unconscious mind feels of betrayal and endangerment. Lack of health and vitality, which is the result, leads to a variety of stress-related symptoms causing “unexplained infertility.”

The stress is also brought on by invasive treatment of infertility, that is also enough to impede the natural process of conception. Women aged 35 and up are considered “high-risk.” Hearing these words women becomes devastated and gets emotional upset. These seriously increase their already increased stress levels, and contribute for a pregnancy negative environment like adding fuel to fire.

Research has shown that stress affects the hormonal system, which may result in decreased fertility. Stress causes tremendous changes in the body’s biochemistry and rhythms. It upsets the body’s natural balance, and over time can lead to infertility and chronic health problems.

Hypnotherapy provides an effective means of establishing restoration and enables women to establish the level of safety essential for reproduction to occur. Hypnotherapy techniques makes restoration of hormonal balance and implements positive lifestyle changes, and eventually pregnancy occur. Hypnotherapy reduces stress, increases confidence, and maximizes chances of conceiving naturally or increase the success of medical assistance.

The hypothalamus is sensitive to stress and acts as a bridge between the emotional and physical matters, turning emotional messages into physical responses that affect hormone levels. Under stress, the reproductive hormone prolactin is over-produced and this can interfere with ovulation. The hypothalamus stops secreting gonadotrophin hormone, which in turn will affect the release of both the luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone. Now as ovulation does not occur - fertility is affected. Hypnotherapy affects the hypothalamus and controls the flow of hormones in the body.

Various studies have documented that from 40 to 55% of infertile women who met regularly in a mind/body program conceived with in six months. After undergoing hypnotherapy, many women get back to their life and go on to conceive easily and quickly because they're no longer stressed. Hypnosis has made such a positive difference to women’s experience that the inclusion of hypnosis offers much more than infertility therapy alone. Use of hypnosis in fertility is becoming more popular in today’s society. Hypnotherapy can create a satisfactory state of mind for pregnancy.

I have worked with many infertile couples. Some of these couples have been trying for a baby for years and some have spent a lot of time and money on medical treatments like IUI (intra-uterine insemination), GIFT (gamete intra fallopian transfer) and IVF (in-vitro fertilization) without success. Each couple had their struggles highly emotional and stressful, most find upsetting experience of their lives. Their heightened levels of stress and increased feelings of depression have a very harmful effect on their ability to conceive.
The stress levels of infertile women are equivalent to women with cancer, AIDS, or heart disease. The more distress a woman prior to infertility treatment, the less likely she is to conceive.  The mind/body techniques I have adopted for my patients help to reduce stress and thus to optimize the chances of success as a complement to infertility treatments.

Negative effect of the results of previous treatment, or by desire or undergone IVF treatment, I get personal understanding of the emotional and physical effects of patients. By this intense desire to have a baby and I become aware  of mental state, and  its  effect on body and psychological well being and I judge as to what intensive efforts, I have to make for this patient.

The Hypnotherapy helps to release conscious and unconscious blocks which may be preventing conception. Hypnotherapy techniques can reduce stress, and instill a sense of confidence and hope. In turn, this will help to maximize chances of conceiving naturally and/or increase the success of medical assistance. I use hypnotherapy, Neuro-linguistic programming and specific visualizations. By combine all three techniques, patients feel less stress, the process seems easier and the more positive patients feel. This way my patients have significantly higher pregnancy rates.

In treating with the problems of infertility my treatment is holistic in nature (Combined approach of all alternative medicine (homeopathy / ayurvedic / naturopathic/ rackii/ biochemic/ hypnotherapy...): I use a number of techniques and strategies to effectively help couple to move forward and to feel more in control. Once my patients develop confidence, I do not allow my patients for stress and strains with IVF and the infertility process of modern allopathic treatment.

It is possible for those living any where in world have these treatment management at the convenience of their own home. No matter what state or country they live in, anybody can have satisfactory and economical management. These have many proven advantages.

It is truly amazing to see what is possible by combined approach of all alternative medicines, but even then when there is a great expenditure of money and emotional energy spent by the majority of couples longing to become pregnant in way of Intra Uterine Insemination (IUT), In vitro Fertilization (IVF), Gamete Intra Fallopian Transfer (GIFT), Zygote Intra Fallopian Transfer (ZIFT), Egg Donation, and Surrogate pregnancies,  I really sympathize all women that how they failed in getting pregnancy.

My course of hypnotherapy is on following ideas:

1. Identify and remove conscious and unconscious blocks which may be preventing conception.
2. Give a positive outlook, and renew trust in body’s ability to conceive.
3. Remain calm, patient, and in control throughout treatment period.
4. Have assistance with any lifestyle changes that may be necessary to help conceive.  This may include; weight loss and diet improvement, stopping bad habits or phobias.
5. Not only should they increase the chances of conception, but they should reap the fringe benefits including stress reduction and relaxation skills for coming life.
   

I take my patients on a step-by-step journey through their minds, bodies and souls to help them connect with their innerselves and to understand the underlying problems behind their attempts to conceive.  Hypnotherapy or EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) therapies will enhance and help patients overcome any old established emotional barriers to conception and to enable them to heal their lives on all levels.

If patients have past disappointed in attempts to conceive, if  have experienced the terrible sadness/trauma in past life then I will be able to certainly help them. I help them to resolve a number of other issues/problems that can affect fertility and prevent conception. I change the life situations to which my patients mind and body is responding negatively.

Through hypnosis patients are able to deepen their awareness of the vital connections between feelings -  inherited beliefs and circumstances, and now they can have positive influence on their ability to conceive by  making changes in their life:

• Set the state for a successful conception.
• Explore  conscious and unconscious childhood memories and experiences, and the family beliefs that have influenced  thoughts, attitudes, feelings and behaviour about menstruation, sexuality, conception, pregnancy and childbirth.
• Be aware of  true feelings and not what have learnt in childhood.
• Work through long forgotten painful memories and emotions.
• Rebalance relationships with husband and family.
• Listen to body – what is it telling?
• Learn and understand the effects of stress, be bold in facing challenges.
• Support for success of medical assistance
  

Now patients can then start to begin to make the necessary changes to live in a healthier way both emotionally and physically. They will open to the possibility of conception. In this way patients can now approach the journey towards final destination i.e. having a baby and baby will be in their lap.
