"Finding Your Own Way" In The Midst of The Holidays!

"Finding Your Own Way"
"Until you become aware of and connected to your source, soul, and spirit, you may rely on your connections with others to feel secure and stable. But when you understand from where you came and who you are, you can walk the path you were meant to walk, majestic in your solitude." As Albert Einstein said: "I am truly a lone traveler and have never belonged to my country, my friends, or even my immediate family with my whole heart; in the face of all these ties, I have never lost a sense of distance and a need for solitude, feelings which increase through the years."
----From the book "The Way of the Fertile Soul" By Randine Lewis. In this holiday time, remembering this, when you are away from family or do not yet have one of your own, or a significant other, or do not have one nearby or even more so if you are with them, that you are in heart, truly more connected to them by connecting to your inner essence, your spirit, your peace, as the holidays can be stressful for all of us whether alone or with family. Self-reflection can be meditative and help us remember the true spirit of Christmas amidst friends, family or alone. God Bless.

LOST KEYS ARE NEVER FOUND BY SEARCHING



Trying to force things into happening never works. It is rather like this quote written by a psychotherapist, from the book "The Way of The Fertile Soul" by Dr. Randine Lewis. All of us at some point have experienced this.

"It's like losing your keys. You look everywhere and anywhere--sometimes you look in the same place multiple times--but you still have no keys. It is when you give up looking that they suddenly appear under your nose and you're amazed that they were right there the whole time. You swear you looked there! I looked for my keys(to a happier life) for three years. I used every flashlight, strobe light, and digging machine I could find. I didn't want to stop looking because I didn't want to give up that sense of control. Letting go of control is the hardest step of this fertility program but it's the one with the greatest reward. When you stop trying to control the outcome, everything that you're looking for will come to you. your keys will be found. They've been there all along." This is true for so many things in life not just trying to conceive a baby but trying to conceive almost all aspects in your life, even the mundane of finding your lost keys. But it is the key to life! The more we pursue the pursuit the more we can drive ourself crazy with anxiety. So as one Guru stated "Stop and Keep Quiet, Stop the Search" Then in a calmer state of mind of inner peace you will know what to do, it will appear before you. The path will be shown and your desires fulfilled.

12 Weeks Pregnant....always a delight to hear!

One of my patient's sent me this message yesterday and allowed me to post. I am always delighted to hear even after the fact, as some women do not always continue with the acupuncture during pregnancy. However, it is recommended to come in for the first 12 weeks to prevent miscarriage.
"Hi Carolyn
Thanks for sending me this news article(seewww.winknews.com, Acupuncture helping couples to conceive, listed below). I was actually thinking of you today because I'm 12 weeks pregnant!! I conceived during that second IUI cycle in combination with your acupuncture/herbal treatments. I was very excited when I found out I was pregnant but wanted to wait until at least 12 weeks to tell you. I can't thank you enough for your understanding, and your guidance in helping me to conceive and to make healthier food choices. I believe it all helped my mind and body to be in sync with one another, in a more relaxed manner, which made me more fertile!
Everything is good so far, we are so happy to be pregnant, and to put that long chapter of infertility behind us. Thank you!!" K.R.

I cannot wait to see her baby!
