Meditation for egg retrieval.
When it's time to harvest eggs,
It's normal to worry about the result.
How many viable eggs will you get?
Rather than stress about the results,
Try this meditation to help manifest a successful retrieval.
Lie on your back or sit upright,
However you feel comfortable.
Close your eyes and put your hand on your stomach.
Feel the subtle rise and fall of each breath.
Just watch your breath as you relax and get comfortable.
In and out,
In and out.
Slowly breathe through your nose.
If you have trouble staying focused on your breathing,
Use the Hong-Sau Mantra to help your concentration.
Mentally say Hong on the inhale and Sau on your exhale,
Matching the mantra to your breath.
Hong-Sau Namaste.
With eyes still closed,
Mentally construct a pink orb inside you.
Pull the energy orb outside your body through your belly button.
Let it float above you for a moment.
Mentally fill this orb with unconditional love,
Peace,
And gratitude.
Watch it expand and get bigger with every exhale you give.
This orb of love is outside you,
But it's yours.
Fill it with more love.
Watch it grow bigger and bigger until it's as big as your body.
Mentally allow the orb to break into a million little pieces.
These particles of love represent your follicles.
Watch them glimmer and dance in joy.
There are so many of them,
All happy and healthy.
When you're ready,
Envision the little pieces merging back into the hole until you have one pink orb again.
Now lower the orb back down and let it fall inside your body.
Bring all that unconditional love,
Peace,
And gratitude back inside.
Exhale deeply as your pink orb merges with you.
Feel the love and peace permeate your body with every exhale.
You are strong.
You are healthy.
Your follicles are developing into beautiful eggs.
Breathe in the pink orb and give thanks for its presence.
Practice this often if it feels good,
Especially as you approach retrieval day.
This would also be an excellent exercise if you're freezing your eggs to use at a later date.
