I spent over 18 yrs. in medical sales and attended hundreds of medical conventions over that time. I remember one of my most interesting. It was the Society of Reproductive and Fertility Surgeons annual meeting in Dallas, Tx. There were over 4,000 physicians from all over the world attending this convention to learn or improve on infertility. Who would have thought it would be such a huge business? Hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent each year on infertility drugs and procedures. It seemed like such a paradox to me since there are so many unwanted children in the world. Unwanted children but people paying to get pregnant? I found this intriguing.
In my feng shui practice I have had clients with this issue. Tell all your friends who have been trying to get pregnant that feng shui can do wonders. If
you recall in previous blog posts, we have mentioned that feng shui is not a magic bullet, it is not a spell, or anything “woo woo”. It is all about moving energy. The core concept in feng shui is Chi (energy). The ancients found that everything in the universe is made up of energy, even a tiny fetus or a soul.
Feng Shui helps us to be in alignment with our desires and the energy of the universe. Sometimes we don’t even know we are blocking things in our lives. We may say we want children but our subconscious fears may be preventing it from happening.
So while you are doing all the right things, seeing your physician or doula, eating properly, getting plenty of rest, staying healthy and positive, maybe getting some acupuncture, and doing yoga to stay limber and reduce stress, there are some feng shui things you can do to help the process. Why not try it all? What do you have to lose?
8 Key Feng Shui Tips For Fertility and Conception:
1) Make sure you have a good bed that is sturdy and comfortable. One made of natural wood is best. The more organic the materials the better. It should have a flat headboard with no slats and a footboard. This gives a feeling of support and balance. No sleeping on the floor. I worked with a couple trying to have children and they were sleeping on the floor. A bed was low on their priority list.
2) Make sure you do not have anything under the bed. Chi must flow all around you. Things under the bed represent stagnation which leads to illness and poor results. I had a client who had been trying for years and when she cleared underneath her bed, she got pregnant within weeks.
3) Your bedroom should feel nurturing like the womb with earth colors. Use tans, peaches, pinks, warm terracottas, light browns, earthy reds.
4) Place a picture opposite you while in bed of children playing or a family with children. Do not use a photo of another family you know with children but choose an artwork with this depiction. You will be reminded each night and each morning when you wake up of what you are creating.
5) Place something metal in the West of your bedroom like a sculpture of children playing. Add something for your new child like a pacifier, or a toy. West represents children in feng shui. It is “creating or manifesting” energy.
6) Place some stuffed toys on the bed or in the room to bring in softness and child-like energy.
7) Set up your new child’s room with his/her baby bed and items needed. Some people are afraid to do this in the event they do not get a child, the disappointment would be too great. What one is doing with this thought, is setting things up to happen that way. Why not see yourself prepared to have a beautiful and healthy baby. Fears create blocks. Stay positive throughout the pregnancy no matter what anyone tells you. Surrender the outcome to the universe. Many spiritual masters say the soul has its own purpose and if its meant for you to have children, you will. Be in co-creation with the universe. Do all you can to invite children in allowing all to be fulfilled in divine order and timing. We have all known of people who tried for years to get pregnant and when they gave up and/or decided to adopt, the baby came. No forcing results rather be in alignment with motherhood. See yourself as a good mom having the time and resources to care for your new child.
8) Place a strong talisman or cure or energy symbol(s) in the bedroom for procreation. The Happy Buddha with all the children on his lap is a good one. Had a client who wanted children and placed this in the West of her bedroom and got pregnant quickly. Beautiful altars/shrines/wish boxes for Fertility like the one depicted in the picture above is also good.
