Mind-Body Fertility Connection: The True Pathway to Conception by James Schwartz, Jim Schwartz

Product Details

Synopsis

Now there is new hope for the millions of women worldwide who have had difficulty trying to conceive. The Mind-Body Fertility Connection explores the feelings, emotions and beliefs that may be blocking conception, and it provides the necessary tools to create a successful pregnancy.
 
By bringing together the latest scientific data and innovative mind-body techniques, this book unveils a new pathway to conception: a pathway of healing through the emotions which allows women to unblock the potential for childbearing.  This book dissects the feelings, beliefs and old emotional injuries which often create subconscious obstacles that can disrupt an otherwise healthy functioning reproductive system. It delves into an unexplored realm that not only exposes the hidden barriers which can cause infertility but also reveals the secrets that can lead to a successful pregnancy. 

The Mind-Body Fertility Connection helps women experience their fertility as a journey of empowerment and presents a fresh new perspective on how to create conception.

Mary Grace Flaherty - Library Journal

Schwartz (founder & director, Rocky Mountain Hypnotherapy Ctr.) is a board-certified hypnotherapist. Through his work with infertility clinics, he created the program Hypnosis To Promote Fertility, which focuses on healing any emotional barriers possibly affecting conception. That program is the basis for this work. While some of Schwartz's premises may have merit, his scientific "evidence" is not always current and more often includes citations from the popular media than from medical and scientific literature. He discusses alternative strategies such as energy work, guided meditation, and visualization, and he emphasizes the practice of hypnotherapy to help maximize the likelihood of conception. Each chapter concludes with a testimonial from an individual who has used these alternative techniques to become pregnant. Schwartz's encouraging style may be helpful for women struggling with infertility; however, the rigor of his work is somewhat questionable. For example, he identifies stress as a possible cause of uterine fibroids; but a quick search of the first 48 review articles on Medline did not confirm this assertion. Optional for public libraries.
