Why Fertility Road? Because your heart needs connections…

If you’ve never been to Fertility Road at Heal from Within, its a place for women TTC. Connecting with women who understand the frustrations, the challenges and the emotional turmoil helps you to feel less alone in your struggle to conceive, less crazy too. Women who have connected here, frequently stay connected and continue to support each other throughout their journeys. And we all know that you don’t want to travel Fertility Road alone.

The thing you may not realize, is how important your heart is to the process of conceiving. In Chinese medicine, its said that the heart and the uterus share the same blood. It may sound strange because, well sure, my blood runs through all my body parts, which is true. But on a deeper level, philosophical or spiritual or whatever you want to call it, it’s the heart that guides us through life. A balanced life, one that’s in harmony, uses all its resources: the brain, the heart, liver, lungs… But when your heart is broken or even just bruised, it’s harder for the other organs to function as well. Nothing in your body works in isolation. Our organs are interdependent and so are we.

That’s what I see here. Lots of women with bruised and broken hearts. Confusion, not understanding why this is happening, what you can do, who you can turn to… Well, we turn to each other in difficult times because we need understanding. We need acknowledgement that yes, this sucks! I’m frustrated and angry and I want to slap the next pregnant woman that I see! There, I’ve said it and I feel better. Right? No offense to those who have successfully conceived. We’re incredibly happy for you. But for those still struggling, it’s painful. The conflicting confusing emotions turn us inside out.

It helps to be with others who understand. So if you haven’t been yet, come join us. Hearts begin to mend here. Some even soar! See you soon…
