Fertility

Spring into a Fertile Spring!

February 25, 2021 By Terra

Image Fertility -sperm heading to egg

Be fertile if you want to have a new baby in the next year. Spring is a time when new growth naturally occurs…and here in the Northern Hemisphere it’s coming on soon. WiseWomanhood can help support and boost your fertility.

Traditionally, spring is also about cleansing after the heavier foods of the winter. This can be a helpful phase to increasing fertility and Ayurveda has gentle yet effective means.

Learning about the timing of ovulation and how it relates to your menses gives clues about whether you have an obstacle due to “weak” eggs, as well as when you are most fertile each cycle. Ayurveda and natural helps can feed your eggs to bring more success in conception.

Also important is curing any general health or menstrual ills. These can be symptomatic of deeper hormonal imbalance which natural treatments can often overcome. Such ills can also inhibit fertility or worsen during pregnancy, when it is more difficult to treat health problems without disturbing the pregnancy itself.

So hop to it, if you want to be fertile as the bunnies in the spring!

Here’s a video interview with Terra on fertility to give you more ideas:

WiseWomanhood Class on Fertility

Sing Your Subtle Body to Pregnancy

June 24, 2019 By Terra

Women trying for pregnancy can sometimes become disheartened. It takes time and effort to become balanced for fertility in some cases. One technique I use to emotionally support them is singing silly songs for them. Or giving them silly songs to sing to themselves.
Singing supports the body in many ways – with breath, with rhythm, with brain chemistry. Affirmations can enter more deeply when sung.

Here are some songs you can use or share for fertility affirmation:
Fertility Songs By Terra Rafael

( tune of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)
Ripen, Ripen Ovaries
Lots of Eggs for Babies, please!
Work your fertile magic now
You’ll get to rest while the baby grow.
Ripen, Ripen Ovaries
Lots of Eggs for Babies, please!

***

(tune of Row, Row, Row Your boat)
Ripe- en well my eggs
In my ovaries.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
My baby you will be!

***

(tune of “Pop goes the weasel)
Hormones bathe the fol-licles
All around the ov-aries
And just when everything is right-
POP goes the best egg.
Fimbrae gently guide its way
Towards the welcome womb
And when she meets the happy sperm-
POP comes the baby!

***

For Implantation –(tune of “Away in the Manger”)
Away in my mother womb, juicy and warm
My baby-to-be firmly plants in its home.
The lining prepared to give nurturance there
Welcomes the Wee One to grow strong and fair.

You CAN Get Pregnant!

June 7, 2019 By Terra

Pregnant Terra body

Mother Nature wants women to get pregnant. That’s why people have to spend so much time and money NOT to. Working with women wanting to get pregnant is a joy! Natural remedies often work when they don’t seem able to at first.

One technique I developed to help women affirm themselves as pregnant is a visual affirmation. This helps ease anxiety, which itself inhibits fertility. It goes along with other natural remedies.

For the visual affirmation, I would take a photo of the woman and graft it onto a photo of a very pregnant woman’s body. This would create a picture of their own fertility to plant in their minds.

This technique was very positive for these women. Along with the special Ayurveda, Maya Therapy, Reiki, songs, and other natural techniques, it moved them more easily into pregnancy.

Try it yourself, if you or a friend of yours want to achieve pregnancy! You can use my pregnancy photo if you like for “your” pregnant body!

And check out my classes on fertility, pregnancy, birth & postpartum!

If you want a personalized natural fertility plan from me, let’s do it!

Smiles, Terra Rafael

YOUR FEMALE CYCLES EXPLAINED

June 23, 2018 By Terra

Mandala made of moon blood symbolizing menstrual health

with Terra Rafael

Women have so many female cycles within their “period” – many not really known to them. We have menstrual, ovarian, hormonal, uterine movement, fertile fluid, and temperature cycles and their components.  All of them interact to create the menstrual-fertility cycle. To have healthy periods and fertility you need all of these cycles to be working well. When some are off, they are symptoms that give us information about where we need to bring balance.

By understanding these cycles YOUR cycles may make more sense and you can take an active role in making your cycles healthier. 11+ minutes that could change your life!

Be sure to see Female Anatomy Revealed for understanding more about your body.
