Sing Your Subtle Body to Pregnancy

By

Women trying for pregnancy can sometimes become disheartened. It takes time and effort to become balanced for fertility in some cases. One technique I use to emotionally support them is singing silly songs for them. Or giving them silly songs to sing to themselves.
Singing supports the body in many ways – with breath, with rhythm, with brain chemistry. Affirmations can enter more deeply when sung.

Here are some songs you can use or share for fertility affirmation:
Fertility Songs By Terra Rafael

( tune of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)
Ripen, Ripen Ovaries
Lots of Eggs for Babies, please!
Work your fertile magic now
You’ll get to rest while the baby grow.
Ripen, Ripen Ovaries
Lots of Eggs for Babies, please!

***

(tune of Row, Row, Row Your boat)
Ripe- en well my eggs
In my ovaries.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
My baby you will be!

***

(tune of “Pop goes the weasel)
Hormones bathe the fol-licles
All around the ov-aries
And just when everything is right-
POP goes the best egg.
Fimbrae gently guide its way
Towards the welcome womb
And when she meets the happy sperm-
POP comes the baby!

***

For Implantation –(tune of “Away in the Manger”)
Away in my mother womb, juicy and warm
My baby-to-be firmly plants in its home.
The lining prepared to give nurturance there
Welcomes the Wee One to grow strong and fair.
