Circle & Bloom Guided Visualization and Meditation to Help Increase Your Chances of Getting & Stay Pregnant.

fertility tips Sep 21, 2021

Pure desperation lead me to Circle & Bloom, right before what would become my second failed IVF.

Meditation and visualisation were still incredibly hard for me - sitting still for 10 minutes and not over analysing everything were painful & if I'm truly honest, I still didn't believe in the mind-body connection.

But I was desperate & willing to try anything. So I started the IVF program the first day of drugs and was completely sceptical. But after a few days, I was SO grateful to have discovered Circle & Bloom & went on to use the IVF/IUI program 3 more times during my journey. 

Circle + Bloom are tailored guided visualizations/meditations that support you through infertility IVF/FET, heal from a miscarriage, get pregnant successfully and stay relaxed during pregnancy! Meditation works by helping you to slow down and focus, to disregard worry and get in touch with the mind-body connection—your thoughts and emotions can control your physiology.

Circle + Bloom have multiple series, including month-long programs for Natural Cycle, IUI/IVF, Frozen Embryo Transfer, and PCOS Fertility Healing - You can try a completely Free Fertility Relaxation before committing to your chosen program. They have support beyond TTC, including miscarriage support, pregnancy & stress as well.

So what are guided visualization and meditation? And do they actually work?

“Also known as guided imagery, guided visualization is a mind-body intervention wherein you evoke all your senses to experience something in your mind. Olympic athletes use this technique to imagine their race, including what the ground feels like and what the air smells like, before starting. It helps us to prepare mentally.

Meditation is the practice of using techniques like visualization to quiet the mind, focus and relax and open the body.

Meditation can help us embrace our worries, our fear, our anger; and that is very healing. We let our own natural capacity of healing do the work. — Thich Nhat Hanh

The health effects of visualization and meditation

Dr. Herbert Benson outlined the “Relaxation Response”, which showed us that in just 10 minutes of imagery blood pressure and cholesterol lowers. Visualization can also reduce blood loss during surgery and postoperative morphine use. It can lessen headaches and pain. And, amazingly, it has been shown again and again to reduce the adverse effects of chemotherapy, especially nausea, depression, and fatigue.

But wait, there’s more…studies show that:

  •  Visualization can help alter menstrual cycles and relieve symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
  •  Imagery can boost your immunity. Danish researchers found increased natural killer cell activity among ten college students who imagined their immune systems were becoming very effective.
  •  Visualization and other relaxation methods may produce significant health and wellness benefits, such as easing pain and depression.
  •  Imagery can increase breast milk production in new mothers.
  •  Visualization can help cancer patients better prepare for treatment, feel more positive about their care, and stimulate white blood cells to fight cancer cells.

It’s quite remarkable what our bodies are capable of when we focus on solutions."

Did it work?

The short answer is YES!! It wasn't the only thing I had to do, but now I can say with 100% confidence that changing my mindset around my fertility issues helped me achieve my goals and so much more!! It was a great first step into my now life-changing visualizations/meditations practices.
