the secret

I'm now on day 4 of the horrible 2 ww... and was wondering if anyone has tried practicing the law of attraction for fertility? I am currently reading the book "the secret" and it's really helping me. Or am I just setting myself up for failure!
good luck to all !!

Re: the secret

Never heard of it......but I'm intrigued.
What is it exactly??

Re: the secret

I was the opposite...I am such a pessimist! I don't think it could hurt, though!
Good luck!

Re: the secret

I agree with pp... what is it?

Re: the secret

I'm intrigued as well! What is it? I'll try anything!

Re: the secret

I googled it, and this is what I found (for those who were also intrigued!) ...

7 Tips for Enhancing our Fertility with the Law of Attraction

*Begin to notice fertility in your environment and in your world and see it as a mirror of your own fertility. Instead of feeling upset when you see a pregnant woman, perceive it as evidence that you are coming into harmony with your own fertility. When you see flowers in abundance, butterflies or anything else that reminds you of the fertility of nature, feel that you are part of that energy.

*Become aware of yourself as a fertile person. Realise that every thought, every word you speak is, at some level, an expression of your fertility and creativity. With every sentence you are giving birth to something new. A new idea, a new way of saying something, a new tone. Every meal you make, everything line you write into your journal, every doodle is evidence of your natural state of fertility. They are proof of your innate capacity to create something that was not there before. Notice your creations. Admire them. Celebrate them and realise that your natural state is one of abundant fertility!

*Become aware of your wonderful body, about being a woman or a man. Notice your cycles and honour them. Perhaps you might feel more creative at different parts of the day or month. Befriend your cycles and befriend the cycles (e.g. arousal and fatigue) of your partner. Begin to use more positive language about your cycles and your organs. See your body and your partner's body with love and appreciation.

*Begin to affirm the health of your bodies and your fertility. Start saying statements like: "I love that we are so healthy now", "It is great that we are fertile and in harmony now."

*Create a simple ritual of letting go what it is your don't want (e.g. stress, fear etc.). For example, you could write down all that you don't want and then burn the list. Then write a list of what you do want (e.g. peace, love, ease around your fertility etc.). Really feel the feelings of what you do want and recall them regularly.

*Discuss with your partner how you want the conception to be. What kind of atmosphere would you both love? What kind of feelings do you want (deep love, safety, joy etc.)? How would you like your baby to feel about their first moments (loved, joy, peace etc.). Write down what you would love and read it regularly, visualising in detail the scenes.

*Regularly affirm and feel the feelings of "I am healthy and fertile. I conceive at the perfect moment. I can trust the rhythm of my body. I allow myself to know that all is well now. I allow myself to relax and enjoy this wonderful journey now."

I think I'll try this during my next 2ww (which should start on Tuesday!!).

Re: the secret

I think it is great to put positive thoughts into the universe!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: the secret

i have read the book and while i don't necessarily practice the law of attraction every day, i definitely think it can't hurt!

My brother tried it when he was applying to medical school and he came off the wait list last minute and has been in school ever since!

best of luck to you - hopefully the 2ww goes quickly!!

Re: the secret

Thank you so much for posting this.

That's real, positive, clean thinking. I love it!

I'm going to try and look at everything totally different now.

It's true, there's always something new we do.......it's a part of "creation".

Re: the secret

Thanks for the great web posting! I highly recommend the book! I actually listen to it on cd while I'm driving to work and just put the pieces that I want in my life (baby!) together. I actually just started on Fri to practice the law of attraction (attracting a baby into my uterus during 2ww!) and when I came to pick up my daughter from my mother in laws house that eve, I saw a sonogram picture on her countertop. She just happened to be looking at old pictures of my daughter and reminicing. (btw, she has no clue that I just did IVF again since we are tired of BFN all round) Now if that's not a sign that the universe sent, what is? Am I crazy?
