Review

"James Schwartz has made a valuable contribution to the field of reproductive health. He deeply understands the workings of the mind and its impact on the cellular response, especially as it pertains to fertility. Not only does Mr. Schwartz provide compelling evidence to support a body, mind, and spirit approach, he applies easy and effective exercises to overcome limiting beliefs." -- Dr. Randine Lewis, author of The Infertility Cure, and The Way of the Fertile Soul

"The mind is the fashioning factor of people's overall life experience. This ancient wisdom has gained modern corroboration, especially in the fields of medicine, psychology and metaphysics. Now Jim Schwartz brings an awareness of the mind/body connection to the heartbreaking challenges of infertility. This book is sure to reveal new horizons and powerful possibilities by taking women and couples to the very core of the creative process of our lives--and of all life." -- Dr. Roger W. Teel, spiritual leader and co-founder of the Association for Global New Thought.

I have been struggling with fertility problems for a little over a year. Started taking several medications to try to conceive, was going for acupuncture and doing yoga all the time and it didnt seem to work.I was about to undergo IVF when I decided to try one last option. I decided to visit a hypnotherapist to help me work with my subconscience and try to help me use my mind to take control of my fertility. She recommended that I buy this book to help me understand a little more how my mind could effect my body's ability to conceive. I read the book in a day, I couldn't put it down. I realized right away that without even knowing it, I was standing in the way of us getting pregnant because my mind and thoughts were blocking conception. To make a long story short I got the book June 2nd and found out I was pregnant June 17th. This book helped me so much. I do have to say though, you have to have an open mind to reap the benefits of its message. I recommend this book to anyone who has been stuggling with infertility. It will certainly help you feel more in control and put you on the right path to having a baby.

I liked some of the information provided in this book. I definitely believe that stress can be detrimental to your health, so it makes sense that it can be a block for fertility as well. One thing I was disappointed with was the fact that the author would discuss studies that were done relating better pregnancy success rates with hypnosis, but did not cite these studies anywhere in the book. I would have liked to see more information about the scientific studies. This book really just read like a cheerleader for hypnosis rather than explaining other ways to destress or refocus the mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Insightful!, December 27, 2009

This review is from: The Mind-Body Fertility Connection: The True Pathway to Conception (Paperback)

If you are someone struggling with "unexplained fertility" I encourage you to read this book. Perfectionism is a common denominator with many women on this journey and no book quite examines this connection. The author afforded me this opportunity and I am extremely grateful for the insight to begin this work. Many "perfectionists" never dreamed that getting pregnant would be a challenge, but if this describes you...run and get this book, you won't be disappointed!
