Ritual Conception

By Sharon Gourlay HBCE, C.HT Copyright, October 2007

Have you ever considered the role of rituals in our lives and how

they can make the ordinary, extraordinary? Growing up in the

Serbian Orthodox Church I was surrounded by rituals in my life

including: Church Liturgy, Baptism, Marriage, Greetings, Prayers,

and even meal time rituals. Each of these customs made the event

seem special and unique.

In the Hypnotherapy world, we find that women whom are experiencing

fertility issues are stressed and caught up in a cycle of waiting to

see if they are pregnant this month or next. Relaxation is key to

getting pregnant along with getting the subconscious to get on board

with the idea. First, how do we accomplish relaxation?

Visualization, hypnosis, removing tension, & addressing fears are all

key factors to allow conception to happen. Fear release work allows

the practitioner to work directly with the mom-to-be to figure out

what her fears of conception might be. Some common fears are

financial concerns, fear of becoming a good mother, fear of loosing

oneself, or even grief from a previous loss. Fear release work

should be done with a qualified clinical Hypnotherapist who can work

with you in a safe environment to help you in the process.

Conception rituals can help parents-to-be to make the sexual act more

cherished (especially after you have repeatedly tried to get pregnant

over and over again). It helps you and your partner to connect with

the sacred and divine to bring the soul that is meant for your

family, to you.

Below is an example of such a ritual that I found in the

book " Rituals for Sacred Living " by Jane . Of course you

can incorporate anything you believe, desire, or need into this

ritual. Becoming parents from conception through birthing is such a

beautiful sacred time in a woman's life. We should do things to make

the entire process a LIFE altering experience that connects us to the

universe and the divine.

(This ritual does not guarantee conception but it will be a beautiful

well thought out beginning).

Need: Pink or Rose colored candles// Lavender & geranium oils, and

oil burner.

Ritual Details: Prepare the bedroom so it is clean and comfortable.

Light the candles, and burn the oils. They foster love, peace, and

happiness. Spend some time talking with your partner. Think about

why you want this child? Are you committed to providing a loving,

secure environment for them? Be quite clear in setting your

intentions. Ensure you are not seeking a baby to support a difficult

relationship or for selfish reasons. Talk about your love for each

other; describe how you see each other as parents. Visualize

yourselves with a child of your own. How would it be?

Now lie down and take several slow, deep breaths. Let yourself

relax completely. Visualize your heart chakras glowing with pure

golden pink light. This light expands to become a bubble of light.

You gradually become aware of other bubbles of light all around you.

Each one contains a soul preparing to descend to the earth. Watch as

some of the souls come up to you as if they were curious. Each soul

knows what she or he desires in life and is checking to see if you

are able to provide the right environment. Send out a prayer that

the `right " soul will find you. Send out all your love, hopes, and

promises. You may have a sense that a soul has picked you—if not,

trust it will happen if not now, in the future.

Come back to waking awareness and share your experiences with your

partner. You could now give each other a massage. Make love in the

most gentle, loving way possible. Keep the idea of that waiting soul

in your mind, quietly inviting her or him to come into your lives.

IDEA: Work with a Hypnotherapist to enhance this visualization into

a hypnosis script. Or record this ritual yourself if you have a hard

time visualizing. Either way you both can listen to the

visualization together which keeps you on the same page.

Inner Peace Creates Outer Peace. The more you are able to face your

fears of conception, birthing, and parenting, the easier to conceive

it will be. RELAX, the journey is beautiful and the destination

fulfilling.
