<h4 style="text-align: justify;">Introducing <strong><span style="color: #333300;">Circle &amp; Bloom</span></strong>, a new approach to help you reduce the impact of stress on your ability to get pregnant.  You may have heard about the recent findings proving the link between stress and infertility, but have no idea how to make those discoveries work to your benefit. <span style="color: #000000;"><em></em></span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;"></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><em>Now you have a way.</em></span></h4>
<blockquote><span style="color: #333300;">"<em>It's often said that stress is one of the most destructive elements in people's daily lives, but that's only a half truth. The way we react to stress appears to be more important than the stress itself." - Bernie Siegel, M.D., <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Love, Medicine &amp; Miracles</span></em></span></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Our mission is to provide stress reduction programs using the latest mind-body research, the cutting-edge infertility studies and the power the meditation. Our program is a daily auditory program using a powerful combination of alpha-state music and guided visualization to promote relaxation and internal hormone balance to reduce the effects of stress. Our programs are intense daily sessions of between 10 - 15 minutes that follow your monthly cycle.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A heart-breaking condition, infertility can have an intense emotional and physical impact that can effect every aspect of your life, throwing into question life's major goals.  Studies have shown that the stress and anxiety caused by this uncertainty - not to mention the tests, treatments, and medications - actually work to reduce the chance of pregnancy, creating a cycle that is difficult to break.</p>

<h4 style="text-align: justify;"><em>"But stress doesn't effect me to that extent. I believe I am well-adjusted and know how to deal with anything that comes my way." </em></h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">That's exactly how I felt. Stress, however, is generally not defined very well. When we talk about "stress" we do not mean the normal daily routine of our crazy, hurried lives. We do not mean anxiety created about a deadline coming up, which are specific issues that may change our priorities temporarily.  Our forebearers certainly had to deal with a lot more anxiety than we do today. Debate it how you want, the fundamental truth is that our modern lives have created unparalleled levels of depression, anxiety and stress. Expectations and demands come as a result of societal and family demands, not to mention financial and career anxiety that underlies everything. As Deepak Chopra writes, "our bodies are constantly eavesdropping on our thoughts."</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Unfortunately, the medical establishment approach fertility problems usually from the neck down.  A battery of tests, heavy hormone drugs and costly treatments will proceed from there (although please understand that we are not suggesting prolonging a visit to your doctor if you have infertility concerns) even though there is recent evidence of the strong mind-body connection can make a big impact on your chances for pregnancy. As Dr. Weil write</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These recent studies that prove a strong stress-infertility link cannot be disputed and should provide hope to those struggling with fertility. Involving the participation of infertile couples, the experiments involve implementing stress-reduction programs. The results from these programs are dramatic, resulting in a more than 2 - 3x pregnancy rate than those in the control groups. We are more detailed information within the website on these studies <a href="http://www.circlebloom.com/?page_id=16">here</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We created our program based upon the methodology of these studies that by reducing stress, we increase our chances of pregnancy. We believe in the concept of reducing stress, not trying to eliminate it. We are not proponents of changing careers, or instituting any other major change in your life in an effort to reduce stress.  Rather, we believe in "yielding" to it, working through it, and managing it on a daily basis.  Stress management can be obtained by a number of methods such as yoga, meditation, guided-imagery, mindful-breathing exercises, acupuncture, etc.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We are accepting beta-test users for our soon to be published daily auditory program for infertility.  Please see our <a href="http://www.circlebloom.com/?page_id=14">product section</a> for more information.  Read More.</p>
