Fertility massage

I was doing a reading for a client tonight and my guides showed me this woman having a massage of some sort. The image showed the stomach (uterus) area, and someone pushing a bit hard like a massage in order to help with conception. I have never encountered this before in a reading so being the googleacholic that I am... I googled it!

As always, I love to share my finds with all of you in the hopes of everyone being able to learn from it... be able to use it and have their own conception.

I have found a few different sites, that lead me from one place to another so I figured I would post a few helpful links.

I used to be able to post youtube vides so will see if I can do that otherwise will include just the links.

Is your uterus happy?

I was reading something else and thought I would google about a happy uterus and actually came across a very unique article that I felt I just had to post here for you guys!

This may seem like a strange question. If you suffer from PMS, menstrual cramps, menopausal or peri-menopausal symptoms, headaches or migraines with your period, varicose veins, endometriosis, bladder infections, chronic miscarriages, or infertility there is a good chance your uterus is unhappy, prolapsed or tipped.

A healthy and happy uterus is dependent on optimal circulation of blood, Qi, nervous function, lymph, as well as good nutrient and mineral balance.

7 Healthy Tips for a Happy Uterus:

1.Walking is a wonderful free exercise that gets your heart pumping, your diaphragm descending for optimal digestion and breathing and your legs moving for good circulation. Walking also boosts the "good cholesterol" and lowers the "bad cholesterol" in your blood, which helps to keep the heart healthy. All of these things are necessary for a healthy uterus.

2. Yoga, especially inverted poses like downward dog, and partial or full headstands help the uterus go back into the proper position allowing for good circulation.

3. Greens, such as stinging nettles, kale, spinach, collard greens, etc, are very important for both alkaline balance as well as mineral balance for optimal nervous function. Women who drink 2-4 cups of stinging nettle tea daily and eat cooked leafy greens as well as lettuce salads are getting the abundant folic acid, calcium, magnesium, and other minerals needed to create a healthy baby.

4. Green Drinks such as spirulina, chlorella, oat grass and wheat grass are wonderful sources of minerals and high in chlorophyll. Wheatgrass is also an excellent source of vitamins A, B, C, E and K, as well as calcium, chlorine, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, sulphur, cobalt and zinc. The chemical structure of the chlorophyll molecule and its similarity to the hemin molecule of hemoglobin makes wheatgrass quickly utilized by the human blood stream, giving the human body the fundamental components to eliminate disease and regenerate itself. (Hemoglobin is one of the major components of our blood) Good strong blood and the proper mineral balance are essential for a healthy fetus.

5. Seeds and Oils and good fats are necessary for optimal hormone production. Some good sources of cholesterol are Flax seed oil, fish oil, olive oil, canola oil, almonds, cashews, avocados among many other sources. Flax seed oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, especially alpha-linolenic acid, which appears to be beneficial for preventing heart disease, inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis and a variety of other health conditions. Flaxseed also contains a group of chemicals called lignans that may play a role in the prevention of cancer. Studies have shown that Mothers with low serum cholesterol levels are significantly more likely to deliver premature babies, or full-term babies with lower weight, according to the study, "Adverse Birth Outcomes Among Mothers With Low Serum Cholesterol." Researchers studied 118 women with low total cholesterol (less than the 10th percentile) and 940 women with mid-range cholesterol levels.

6. Castor Oil is derived from the bean of the Ricinus communis or Palma Christi plant (Palm of Christ). The Palma Christi has been used for therapeutically for centuries in the folk medicine of ancient India, China, Persia, Africa, Greece, Rome, and the Americas. It has large, beautiful palmate leaves hence the name, Palma Christi.

Used externally, castor oil has been used to treat a variety of health conditions such as arthritis, liver and intestinal disorders, tumors, cysts, and skin conditions. Taken internally, castor oil is a strong cathartic and is not recommended as there are ways to relieve constipation that are not as harsh. Some of the numerous uses of castor oil include the treatment of breast cysts, fibroids, and ovarian cysts, congestion of abdominal organs, skin conditions, small benign cysts, and adhesions from surgery. Wherever there is congestion, decreased blood flow and need for healing, castor oil can be an effective treatment option.

Castor oil has a unique chemical profile rich in ricinoleic acid which is known to exist in nature only in castor oil. Double blind studies conducted by the Association for Research and Enlightenment, Inc. demonstrated an increase in lymphocyte production and the level of activity of T-cell lymphocytes in the group that used castor oil packs. T-cell lymphocytes originate from bone marrow and the thymus gland, identify and kill invaders such as virus, bacteria, and fungi. In addition to strengthening the immune system, castor oil appears to have a balancing effect on the autonomic nervous system, increasing liver activity and improving digestion.

7. Maya Abdominal Massage is a non invasive external massage of the abdomen that increases circulation around the reproductive organs allowing for the proper balance of hormones, minerals for optimal nervous function, ad good circulation of lymph. Many women have a laundry list of physical and emotional symptoms that can be addressed and prevented with these simple, noninvasive massage techniques. When reproductive organs shift, they can constrict the normal flow of blood and lymph, and disrupting nerve connections. Just a few extra ounces sitting on blood and lymph vessels can cause havoc throughout the different systems in the body. By shifting the uterus back into place, homeostasis, or the natural balance of the body, is restored in the pelvic area and the surrounding organs. Toxins are flushed and nutrients that help to tone tissue and balance hormones are restored to normal order. This is essential for healthy pregnancy, labor, and delivery.

Helpful Information that you might like to have

A client of mine who happens to be in the medical field and is very knowledgeable about fertility and has offered to share a few tidbits that might be helpful to those of you who are suffering from pre-menopasuse type symtoms, as well as possible high FSH levels...

This information has been copied/pasted directly from her email (with her permisson) Below she mentions a file that she has sent with more information. If you wish to receive this file, please email me at cheri22@gmail.com with "FILE PLEASE" in the subject line and I will send it to you.

Lowering FSHwheatgrass
acupuncture or acupressure
yoga
deep breathing
massage
reduction of inflammatory agents and toxins (detoxifying foods and anti-inflammatory)
balancing hormones: ginseng, maca root, red raspberry leaf

Stress, inflammation, poor egg quality and poor signaling between the ovaries and pitiuary gland.

reversing Menopause
melatonin 3 mgDHEA 75 mg (helps with improving egg quality as well)

These are some basics for finding balance and getting periods to resume, but just because you have a period does not mean that you are ovulation or that you will conceive. The things listed above are things that have been shown to have benefits based on research and not anecdotal evidence.

FSH is based on a 3 month cycle and depends on the egg quality. So, ideally if one can improve the quality of the eggs the FSH will come down and there is a better chance for conceiving. I would recommend a detoxifying/anti-inflammatory diet along with stress reduction, the wheatgrass, and the DHEA. I think that the tendency is to try all these products at once and it is not clear how all of these herbs/supplements interact with each other and the fertility medications that one might be on. Also, weight loss can help if the individual is overweight (5-10% body weight reduction). This reduction improves insulin sensitivity which plays a role in estrogen balance.

The diet plan gets a little complicated because each person is different and is going to need a different diet. Also, they will need different supplementation for vitamins and minerals depending on how they metabolizes these nutrients. To determine this gene testing is needed. Also, determining allergens and/or sensitivities is needed to be able to remove inflammatory foods. If this cannot be done doing a basic elimination diet for a month is good.

I attached a handout about detoxifacation I made for a presentation. It gets into the nuts and bolts. With anything medical individuals wanting to change their diet or incorporate supplements/herbs in with their regimen should consult their healthcare provider. There is a lot to consider when dealing with an individual. Normally, I work with the individuals physician to get labs, medication list, and medical history. Discussing alternative treatments with the physician should always be undertaken. If you feel like your physician will be judgemental or will not listen then it is time for you to get another physician. You the patient is in charge of your care and as such you are part of the care team with the doctor. I know that it does not always work that way in western medicine. I have been there angry frustrated because my RE was dismissive, but there are some good doctors out there that are blended western and eastern medicine together you have to search for them.

you are getting sleepy.... you can't keep your eyes open....

In case your wondering.. I am talking of hypnosis! I have to admit that I tried it three weeks ago. I have been trying to loose weight (I am halfway to my goal, I need 25lbs more to fall off!) and figured hypnosis might help. What do I have to loose?

I made my appt, and was a bit nervous as the only experinece that I had with hypnosis was at some bar show where he made people act crazy and they appeared to have no control. Well, I guess not all hypnosis is like that. If you have ever been in a group meditation (like I did with the show for James Van Praagh) then you have experineced hypnosis! You are in COMPLETE control, and can come out of the hypnosis if you want to.

She actually helped me quite a bit with the one session (so far) that I have had. I asked her to help me be more motivated for excersise, and to help me avoid chocolate and pop (as those two things I consumed EVERY day). Well, since that sunday of my session, I have NOT had either chocolate or pop!! not even one! I do feel more motivated for excerise, I can feel the want. I am more active than I was, but I am not doing as much as I would like. My next session is actually going to have her focus on stop eating when I know I am full, and to not eat when I am not hungry.... I figure that will be a great addition!

So... if hypnosis works for weight loss (according to google and sites I visited 95% effective) why not fertility? So I googled it! Thought you might like hear about this!

ARTICLE
Perhaps you're reminded of it wherever you go. Every other person you see seems to have a baby. You are reminded all the time on TV and maybe some people are careful not to mention babies in front of you because it's become a 'sensitive issue.'

Your lover becomes a 'sperm donor'

Trying for a baby can make your sex life suffer because making love is replaced by trying to make babies. Infertility issues and trying for a baby can adversely affect relationships when getting pregnant takes a long time.

The whole act of love making can become a stressed attempt at reproduction rather than reproduction being a by-product of relaxed love making.

Perhaps you've had IVF and it hasn't worked yet. Fertility treatments don't work for everyone but the good news is that hypnosis can make you more fertile.

Hypnosis can help you get pregnant

Research has shown that hypnosis for fertility doubles the success of IVF treatment. Researchers at Soroka University in Israel found that 28% of woman in the group that were hypnotized became pregnant compared to 14% of those were not hypnotized.

This research study of 185 women was presented to the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology conference in Berlin. The Israeli researchers aimed to discover whether hypnosis could make the embryo transfer stage of IVF more successful.

During this stage, the embryo is transferred into the womb. However, if the womb is contracting, it can affect the chances of the transplant being a success. The research found that, indeed hypnosis did seem to greatly increase chances of becoming pregnant.

Stress and fertility

IVF fertility treatment tends to be a stressful time but stress can have a blocking effect on fertility success. This is why woman will often become pregnant at the very point they stop trying. The trying causes stress and prevents the very thing you are aiming to achieve. Getting pregnant needs to be allowed as much as forced. Sleep is a natural process of the body but it's when you stop trying to sleep that you are more likely to actually fall asleep. So it is with pregnancy.

Hypnotic suggestion and the workings of the body

This hypnosis for fertility session will do more than just diminish stress and get you relaxed. Your unconscious mind can directly affect the workings of your body through hypnotic suggestion. This happens when people are able to heal more quickly or be relieved of warts after being hypnotized. It's their unconscious mind that responds to the suggestions - this goes beyond the results of merely relaxing (as beneficial as these results are).

Sometimes those dreams are just hard to shake!

Last night had a dream that literally woke me up at just after 6am this morning and unable to go back to sleep. My mom was in it (as most of you know she passed away in March 2010)

The dream had her "lost" in the downtown part of Vancouver, BC, almost like she was living on the streets. I was so pissed off that she had not called me to come and get her, or at least to let us know that she was okay. In my dream, I knew I had not talked to her for awhile, and was in "panic" mode that I had not heard from her.

I then realized that I had her cell phone number (I dont think that would be something that people forget!lol) so I called it.... Her husband answered the phone. I was in shock, he mentioned that she could not keep her phone.....

It was then that I woke up in bed, with the first thought of organizing a search party for her today....to then be hit with the realization again that shes gone.

What a crazy dream! I was hoping to be able to sleep in this morning (7am is sleeping in over here) but nope, couldn't get back to sleep at all this morning. My 2 year old is up now, and we are watching Curious George. I figured since I am up (and wide awake!) that I will get a jump start on the day. So I guess something good can come out of being up so early!

"Redraw" for winner

As I have not heard from Brandy to claim her prize of a free reading, I am going to redraw a name. The secret psychic is ready to go and not sure if Brandy is interested or perhaps forgot??

My daughter has drawn 12 (LYNN)So please contact me at cheri22@gmail.com with "blog winner" in the subject line and I will forward you to her email!

Secret Psychic Winner!!!

Okay guys, I have drawn # 9 (TRACY C.) and number #13 (BRANDY)!!!!

So if you two can email me at cheri22@gmail.com with "blog winner" in the subject line, I will give you her email address!!

I am hoping that she will allow me to give a few more readings away, but she wants to do these two first:)

On a completely different topic (but similar) I had a women email me asking me to exchange links. As I am now hesistant (and I guess protective of you guys) I dont just link with anyone (since what happened with Ruby and giving her the benefit of the doubt at first).

I had this psychic read for me. Unfortunetly she was not accurate with me (and it is harder to read psychics as we do tend to sheild our energy a bit more than people who have not tuned into their gifts) and when I provided her feedback on where she was off for me... she blew a gasket. I was shocked to say the least as I was not expecting that reaction. I guess I just assumed that all psychics prefer to have feedback (good or bad) so that they can strengthen their interpretation skills. Most times after receiving feedback of a reading, you can see where your interpretation was off and why you interpreted it the way you did. I am ALWAYS thankful for feedback. (this particular psychic will remain anon as I do not want to discredit her. She did seem really nice at first)

So those of you who have had readings from me, or will in the future, please, if your reading ever feels like something is off.. email me.. let me know. I do appreciate it. I promise not to bite your head off, I promise not to curse you (trust me there is no such thing) and will be humble for that experience... because how else in life can you grow if people do not help you learn? Feedback is IMPORTANT. I really feel that it helps to keep people honest, it helps to strengthen your gifts... I know that I am not 100% accurate (never claim to be) but I also know that interpretation at times can be off and feedback is helpful.

Hope you all are having a wonderful day!

An amazing storey

I asked one of my clients to share her storey. She said that creating her vision board has been a rewarding experinece, allowed her more motivation and basically got her life back on track. Shes in a happier place. Shes agreed to share her storey in the hopes that those of you in a similar position to what she was going through, might find this helpful as well.

This has been copied/pasted from her email (with her permission of course!) If you have any questions, you can email me cheri22@gmail.com and I can put you in touch with her... or you can post in the comments below as I know she does read this blog and knows her storey is about to be posted:)

My vision board experience.

Last week I had to deal with something that I’ve been putting off for months/years. When I finally dealt with it, I went into a deep depressed downward spiral. I decided to get a reading done about the situation. While I waited for my response, I ended up going to work the next day and started to cry in my co-workers office. He asked me if I was ok and all I did was shook my head and said no, my spirit is broken. I had something I was dealing with and held it inside for such a long time. I called my friend and we talked for 2 hours and I cried and I told her my situation. I took the next day off from work (Friday)and stayed in bed all day. I was such in a state that the thought of eating food, made me want to vomit. I had no desire to do anything. It was one of those moments where if I had the energy I would have pulled a Brittany and shaved my head and grabbed an umbrella and beat the window of a SUV. (look that up if you have no idea what I’m talking about.) But I think we all know the feeling that I’m referring to. I read Cheri’s blog and saw the vision board post. I was still waiting for my reading and said to myself….that’s what I’m going to do, I’m going to make my vision board. So the next day I got up out of
bed grabbed a magazine and started searching and cutting. I didn’t have any more so I went to the local bookstore and bought 4 magazines. I grabbed magazines where I knew there would be pictures and sayings that I wanted to put on my board. Went to the art store bought 2 poster boards and a glue stick. I then went to the lady who gives me my reiki treatments (she also owns a store).
I came in she saw my face and was like whats wrong. Two weeks ago I had a reiki treatment done and afterwards my reiki master said, the weight gain that you are experiencing (I gained 10 lbs.) is because you are fearful about something and you need to deal with that your body is protecting yourself. So I lied and gave her some lame story. So I came in to tell her my truth. I ended up staying for 2 hrs and we talked and I cried and I
told her about my vision board. She said that was a great idea and that she was going to make one too.
So I ended up buying some reiki charged candles (crystal journey) they smell great too, and came home lit my candles and cut out all these wonderful sayings and pictures. I felt like a little kid again, and the
board gave me a purpose again. When I was done, I had a great big smile on my face. I taped it up on the back of my bedroom door. I look at it and read it every day before I go to work and before I go to bed/meditate. Cheri’s reading came in and she said I’m on the right path now. I responded back telling her how the vision board really helped me turn my attitude and mindset around. She then asked me if anyone (friends/family) had noticed the shift in my energy because she could tell from a matter of days the change.
So this is what I noticed I have noticed that once I made a change in my thinking, and my life, it seemed like everyone followed. Right away people (strangers, men and women) smiled said hi, held doors open....the one woman I wasn't getting along with at work (we haven’t spoke to each other
or even looked at each other for about 3 months) I walked up to her and told her why I had been feeling the way i was about her and the way she treated me and she hugged me and said I still love you........
When I meditate before bed, I can feel in the pit of my stomach this energy, it feels light, it feels uplifting so I can actually feel my body taking on this new positive energy....and I tell myself I deserve all this good stuff.......I deserve it.....everyone deserves good stuff......and now it's my time.!!!!! Before it was this heavy energy in the pit of my stomach, the doubt, the negative feelings……..I can feel each day I’m
getting stronger or more powerful. I know this post is long but not only did I make the board, I also get reiki treatments done which also can get that negative energy out of your body and make everything lighter and you can reclaim your personal power if you lost it. (check that out if you are looking for more ways to clear your energy)
So make a board, have fun with it, put whatever you want on it, and
keep adding to it. Relax and say thank you for whatever is on your board and remember things can happen and they will happen because you deserve it………..we all deserve it.
