Very Insightful!

If you are someone struggling with "unexplained fertility" I encourage you to read this book. Perfectionism is a common denominator with many women on this journey and no book quite examines this connection. The author afforded me this opportunity and I am extremely grateful for the insight to begin this work. Many "perfectionists" never dreamed that getting pregnant would be a challenge, but if this describes you...run and get this book, you won't be disappointed!

Something to Think About. . . .

This book gives you much to think about. I have been TTC for 10 months and know that stress has to be playing at least a small part in our inability to conceive. The Mind-Body Fertility Connection discusses the fact that many couples are identified with "unexplained infertility." Hmmm, how can there be no reason behind a couple's inablity to conceive? This book discusses hypnosis, acupuncture, and other methods that may not be traditional. The thing I like about this book is that it gives you something else to consider. I also like how the author does not claim that this book are methods are the only answers to infertility. If you have been TTC, or are stressed from TTC, this book is a great read!

Well Done!

Jim has produced a timely, informative, and well-written volume. He addresses very effectively the integration and balance of mind, body & spirit necessary for older mommies-to-be. I especially enjoyed the short case studies: first-person accounts of his clients while on their own fertility journey. From an ecological/biological point-of-view, when the environment contains too many things stressing the population (whether that population is prairie dogs or humans), often the effect of those stressors is first seen in the ability to reproduce, or more accurately the lack of the ability to reproduce. Modern society has tossed quite a few 'big' stressors at its human population, including endocrine-disrupting pesticides that mimic estrogen in the body, endocrine-disrupting residues from plastics leaching into our food because we lazily heat everything in plastic in the microwave, increasing incidence of food allergies & food intolerance, high levels of stress because of work, personal life issues, and just LIFE issues in general. The list goes on and on. Combine those with women putting off child bearing until their later years, and you have a recipe for reproductive disaster. Jim offers hope for many in the midst of all those stresses, who desperately want children and who either don't want to start down the ART/IVF route, or those who have already gone that route and and who are hoping to find another way to work with, assist, and strengthen the body. Often, docs will refer an older woman for ART/IVF based on age alone, although no tests have been done on hormone levels or the health of the eggs. Addressing the mind, body, and spiritual issues place as much control as possible back with the mommy (and daddy) to be. And considering that the highest stress levels of all occur because of things out-of-our control, this is a very good thing indeed. Jim only touched on the energy healing aspects of this integrated approach, but it is also (IMHO) a very important part of re-balancing the body and helping to clear the endocrine system, which the chakras work with intimately. Other things that also help with this are dietary changes, daily meditation (his 10-minute visualization is a perfect example), daily Qi Gong, and adapting other helpful practices that make you feel BETTER, body, mind & spirit.
