Deciding whether or not to become a mother and have children is a big decision in the modern world.  In times gone by, it was simply the next stage in a woman’s life but now it is more of a choice.  EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques)/ Tapping is a great tool to help get clarity and heal any blocks to wanting/ not wanting that choice.

Although many couples conceive effortlessly and quickly without any problems, increasingly nowadays more and more couples are experiencing difficulties and worry about their fertility.

Although statistically, it is said that the average time taken to conceive is 6-12 months many couples nowadays take longer. There are many contributing factors such as age, smoking, alcohol intake, accumulation of heavy metals in the body to mention but a few.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques)/ Tapping can help with preparing for conception by releasing any fears and beliefs about becoming a mother and having a baby.  It is also wise to give your baby the best possible start in life by preparing yourselves as future parents. After all, a gardener would not plant a seed without preparing the soil. Some suggestions are:

• Test for sexually transmitted diseases
• Check for heavy metals
• Check for vitamin and mineral deficiencies
• Identify and reduce stress
• Improve diet
• Get fit
• Discuss feelings about becoming a parent with your partner

Have you decided that you want a baby and have been trying without success?  Do you dread each time you get your period?  For many women nowadays this is becoming more and more common.  The more one tries to conceive the more stressed a woman can get.  Stress increases adrenalin in the body which works against the hormones needed for conception. EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques)/ Tapping is a wonderful tool for reducing stress and increasing feelings of wellbeing, peace and relaxation – an ideal way of being to allow conception to happen.  Any fears of being pregnant and giving birth can be addressed at this point if relevant too.

Having IVF or any assisted reproductive technology is often a stressful time on the mind and body.  The use of EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques)/ Tapping during this time can support the woman with stress, fear and other negative emotions and beliefs during each of the phases of the treatment as well as during the 2 week wait (2WW).
