text-align: justify;\">The beginning part of the program is all about quieting the mind and relaxing each body part.  We do this by what\'s called a progressive body scan - or walking you through a visualization process of each major body part with relaxation in mind.  It\'s a proven and very effective way to elicit deep relaxation.  Your body will feel very weighted, heavy, and go very quiet after you do this section.  This will help reverse the effects of stress and prepare you for the guided visualization exercises.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4><span style=\"color: #808000;\"><em>Step Two: Guided Visualization</em></span></h4>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;\">This section is where the tracking of your cycle becomes important.  Everyday,  our hormones are interacting with one another, changing and causing change within our ovaries and uterus.  In a deep relaxed state and by engaging in visualization exercises, we engage the mind-body connection.  This is an incredibly powerful process that will help promote balance, healing, and restoration to our natural state.  Furthermore, this process becomes that much more impactful when we trust in the process - when we believe it will work.  As Dr. Andrew Weil puts it:</p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;\">\"The mind\'s eye has a special relationship with the healing system.  A great deal of the cerebral cortex is devoted to vision.  Located at the back of the head, this part of the brain mostly occupies itself with processing of information from the retinas of the eyes, but when it disengages from that task and turns inward, one of the most important channels for mind/body communication becomes available.\"</p>\r\n</blockquote>\r\n<h4><span style=\"color: #808000;\"><em>Step Three:  Strengthening Optimistic Feelings\r\n</em></span></h4>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;\">This last section provides a small task or visualization exercise that might help address any anxiety or other negative emotions that may have an impact on your body chemistry.   Allowing your imagination to proactively manage things that it needs to address can be very empowering.  Some people find it helpful to write their thoughts or experiences in a journal to reflect on the experiences provided by this exercise.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And then lastly, we provide the means for you to come back to full awareness allowing you to feel fully restored, refreshed and ready for the rest of the day.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is best to find a quiet spot to recline or lie down on your back.  Using an iPod or other personal listening device with earphones is also recommended, but speakers attached to your computer would do the trick as well.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We recommend that you start the program with Day One, which corresponds to the beginning of your menstruation.  If you want to start it somewhere in the middle of your cycle, that is fine as well, but we do recommend that you listen to the first few programs as we expand greater on the Relaxation Process, as this becomes learned and somewhat shortened as the program progresses throughout the month.</p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Warning:  Under no circumstances should you drive while listening to the sessions or operate any kind of heavy machinery since the program is designed to illicit deep relaxation and alternative consciousness.  Please see the <a href=\"http://www.circlebloom.com/terms-of-use/\">Terms of Use</a> for further information.\r\n</strong>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"></p>','Start to Enhance your Fertility Now.',0,'','inherit','open','open','','14-revision-80','','','2009-07-24 02:58:05','2009-07-24 02:58:05','',14,'http://www.circlebloom.com/14-revision-80/',0,'revision','',0),(1057,1,'2009-07-24 02:43:55','2009-07-24 02:43:55','<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">Circle &amp;

text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">The beginning part of the program is all about quieting the mind and relaxing each body part.  We do this by what\'s called a progressive body scan - or walking you through a visualization process of each major body part with relaxation in mind.  It\'s a proven and very effective way to elicit deep relaxation.  Your body will feel very weighted, heavy, and go very quiet after you do this section.  This will help reverse the effects of stress and prepare you for the guided visualization exercises.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h4><span style=\"color: #808000;\"><em>Step Two: Guided Visualization</em></span></h4>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">This section is where the tracking of your cycle becomes important.  Everyday,  our hormones are interacting with one another, changing and causing change within our ovaries and uterus.  In a deep relaxed state and by engaging in visualization exercises, we engage the mind-body connection.  This is an incredibly powerful process that will help promote balance, healing, and restoration to our natural state.  Furthermore, this process becomes that much more impactful when we trust in the process - when we believe it will work.  As Dr. Andrew Weil puts it:</span></p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">\"The mind\'s eye has a special relationship with the healing system.  A great deal of the cerebral cortex is devoted to vision.  Located at the back of the head, this part of the brain mostly occupies itself with processing of information from the retinas of the eyes, but when it disengages from that task and turns inward, one of the most important channels for mind/body communication becomes available.\"</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #808000;\"><em>Step Three:  Strengthening Optimistic Feelings\r\n</em></span></h4>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;

Should I use this program?</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h4><a name=\"Q1\">What types of infertility is this designed for?</a></h4>\r\nOur program was designed to help reduce the anxiety and stress associated with infertility, therefore, anyone experiencing infertility can use this program to help better manage the process of getting pregnant.<a name=\"Q2\"></a>\r\n<h4><a name=\"Q2\">I have not been diagnosed with infertility but I would like to keep my changes of pregnancy as high as possible.  Should I still use the program?</a></h4>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yes, especially if you have been experiencing growing anxiety as it relates to your pregnancy status.  This program should help you reduce the levels of anxiety associated with getting pregnant, and studies have shown a direct link between stress and infertility.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q3\">Why are there 28 audio files?</a></h4>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In our product design and research, we discovered that the best possible way to connect mind-body healing with our fertility cycles would be to track our product with the daily changes of our fertility cycle.  Every day our hormones are changing as we move from the follicular phase, to egg maturation and ovulation to the luteual phase.  Therefore, since our program is designed to best elicit the mind-body connection, we thought it best to tailor each individual day to the specific-happenings in your reproductive cycle.  Also, it’s OK if you aren’t exactly on a 28 day reproductive cycle.  If you know when you are ovulating, try to time the Day 14 - 16 to when you ovulate, and simply skip or repeat days preceding and following depending on your typical reproductive cycle.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q4\">How can I augment the program?</a></h4>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We have found that the program can be enhanced by performing other relaxation-inducing actions, such as listening to soothing music, yoga, acupuncture - and especially journaling.  Picking yourself up a nice looking journal, while letting the words flow about anything that crops to mind can be incredibly therapeutic.  Studies have shown that by writing down events that have caused pain can possibly be more therapeutic than talking it through with a therapist.  Throughout the program, we pose certain questions towards the end of each session that hopefully will illicit certain thoughts and emotions that can be written about on your own.  It’s not necessary, but it certainly can’t hurt.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q5\">Should I listen more than once per day to get double or triple the effects?</a></h4>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is certainly no harm in listening more than once, but we would suggest that you spend that time - if you find it useful - to do yoga, mindful walking, breathing exercises, meditation, listening to soothing music, and journaling to help round out the program.  If you find it best to listen to each session twice per day for you, then it certainly wouldn’t hurt.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q6\">I have been listening to the program for a few days, but I don\'t feel any different.  Am I doing something wrong?</a></h4>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This program is not necessarily designed for you to have a “breakthrough” change in your outlook or in your physical makeup.  You may not feel any different right away. Over time, you might find yourself being able to accept stressful moments a bit easier, and you may also have a less negative outlook on your ability to get pregnant. You might also feel effects from being in the state of complete relaxation as new way to manage any kind of stress or difficult situation. Since the relaxation techniques are based on meditation practices and self-hypnosis, we would hope that you could employ the techniques of self-relaxation on your own to achieve this relaxed state whenever you wish.  It can be very helpful for those who have problems falling asleep and staying asleep.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q8\">Why do you recommend “journaling” and how do I do it the correct way?</a></h4>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Studies have shown that free-writing exercises through journaling can be incredibly therapeutic - even better than traditional couch-based therapy in terms of excising especially painful events in your past.  It doesn’t need to be on a daily basis; it should be done when the mood strikes for how long you wish.  It could be something special that happened that day, or how you felt when something stirred negative emotions in you.  Anything that you feel will help you in your self-discovery process.  It should be only for your eyes - unless you want to share with others.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q9\">What does relaxation have to do with getting pregnant?</a></h4>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since stress negatively impacts our fertility, reducing stress through relaxation should positively impact your fertility.  Repeated relaxation - something you can do everyday by using Circle + Bloom- will help to reduce stress each and every day.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q10\">I think this might be helpful to a friend of mine.  Can I share this product with her?</a></h4>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Absolutely.  We have this email form that you can use, or simply send that person the link to our website.  However, please note that it would be unlawful to send the actual audio files to her unless that person has also purchased a license from us directly.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q11\">Do I pay the fee on a monthly basis, or can I use the product indefinitely?</a></h4>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our fee is a one-time fee for indefinite use of the product by you.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q12\">I have PCOS and having troubles getting pregnant.  Will this help me?</a></h4>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yes.  The mind/body aspect of our program focuses on the correct balancing of the reproductive hormones.  And don\'t worry if you don\'t have the perfect timing of your cycle figured out when using the program - it doesn\'t need to perfectly aligned to reap the full benefits.  Also, the stress component will also be minimized so if you are feeling increased anxiety the relaxation component will most certainly help you.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q13\">I am in the middle of advanced fertility treatments.  Should I also use this product?</a></h4>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yes. We have many users who are doing advanced IUI and IVF and have found that using Circle + Bloom has fundamentally improved their levels of stress and so therefore their chances of a successful outcome.  One of our customers used Circle + Bloom for her second IVF treatment (her first was unsuccessful) and she reported a renewed sense of confidence and optimism - to the point that later in the cycle she felt that her body \"started to talk to her.\" She attributes using Circle &amp; Bloom to her successful outcome.  So, yes, we do advise and support using Circle + Bloom through advanced fertility treatments.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q14\">I have been doing acupuncture.   Should I continue with acupuncture at the same time that I have doing Circle &amp; Bloom?</a></h4>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sure.  There would be nothing that would fundamentally run in conflict with doing acupuncture - especially if you have found that acupuncture has been helping you.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q15\">Should I discontinue using the product if I get pregnant?</a></h4>\r\nWell that is completely up to you.  Some of our users are letting us know they are using the relaxation part of our program to continue to reap the benefits of relaxation during their first trimester.  If enough of our customers request it, we may be developing a pregnancy relaxation program in the near future.  Let us know if that would be of interest to you.\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q16\">I am over 40 years old and trying to get pregnant.  Should I use this program?</a></h4>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Absolutely.  This program has nothing to do with age but everthing to do with implementing relaxation to help improve fertility.</p>','FAQs',0,'','publish','closed','closed','','faqs','','','2009-08-17 21:29:39','2009-08-17 21:29:39','',0,'http://www.circlebloom.com/?page_id=18',6,'page','',0),(1021,5,'2009-05-10 21:56:42','2009-05-10 21:56:42','<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our focus at Circle &amp; Bloom is all about you.

She also discusses a specific profound experience she had a few days prior while using the program:</span>\r\n<blockquote>\"Saturday was Day 24.  I was in bed for the evening and did the day\'s session, the one in which you help someone in need.  I actually helped two people, very close to me...I won\'t get into the details of that, but it was very powerful. And when you instructed to turn our feelings of gratitude and benevolence toward the little egg in our uterus, all of a sudden, my entire body jerked, like a massive twitch.  Literally 5 seconds later, you were saying that you may feel a vibration from that little bundle, because \"it always knows when we are sending it love and positive energy.</blockquote>\r\n<blockquote>Tears were streaming down my closed eyes, into my hair.  It was so *unbelievably* powerful...mostly because the physical reaction occurred before you even verbalized it.  And I felt so connected and happy and joyous in that moment.  When the session was over, I told my husband, still kind of in awe, what had happened.\"</blockquote>\r\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">That same day she emailed me to let us know:</span></div>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\"I can now report that I am your first official success story!!!!!!!

I can\'t tell you how happy and relieved I am, after 3 years of trying.  I was shaking, laughing and crying all at once.  I\'d dreamed of this moment for so long, to finally get there was joyously overwhelming.\"</div></blockquote>\r\n<span style=\"color: #666699;\">I always said that if I could help one woman realize her dream of pregnancy, then all of my research, time, and work was worth it.  I can now proudly say that is the case.  Here are some further updates from Kelly:</span>\r\n<blockquote>We had our first ultrasound today, confirming there is a pregnancy sac.  So far, so good.  I wanted you to know that sometimes I still listen to Day 28 before I go to bed.  Your words about visualizing that little embryo developing help me relax and be positive.  Joanne, I know Circle + Bloom made a difference for me this cycle.  IVF is such a dark place.  On the one hand, if you\'re like me and and need intervention, there is a piece of you that\'s just so thrilled for the help, to actually be doing something to realize your dream.  On the other hand, the entire process is so emotionally exhausting.  For me, the daily programs offered a measure of control.  It was something *I* could do, every day to try and improve my chances.  The drugs, the procedures, the rest of it is out of your hands. <strong>But my attitude, my positivity, that was something I could control, especially with the help of Circle + Bloom.  I believe with every fiber of my being it\'s one of the reasons we can finally say we are EXPECTING!\"</strong>\r\n<span style=\"color: #666699;\">\r\n</span></blockquote>\r\n<address style=\"text-align: center;\">_____________________________________________________</address>\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">Stephanie, NJ</span></h4>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">This is a video of on our very first Circle + Bloom beta users.  Steph\'s story demonstrates the bravery, resourcefulness and optimism needed to weather the infertility ups and downs:</span></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"></p>\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"445\" height=\"284\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/YvQ8UguzlOo&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xcc2550&amp;color2=0xe87a9f&amp;border=1\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"445\" height=\"284\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/YvQ8UguzlOo&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xcc2550&amp;color2=0xe87a9f&amp;border=1\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<address style=\"text-align: center;\"> </address> <address style=\"text-align: center;\"> </address> <address style=\"text-align: center;\"> </address> <address style=\"text-align: center;\">_____________________________________________________</address>\r\n<h4><span style=\"color: #666699;\">Marli, Toronto\r\n</span></h4>\r\n<span style=\"color: #666699;\">Marli is trying for her first child.  Another one of our beta users, Marli\'s experience using Circle + Bloom has been very positive helping her direct her energy in a more positive way.  Here are excerpts from an email she has sent to us recently:</span>\r\n<blockquote>\"I\'m really enjoying the program for a number of reasons.  Mainly because, like many of us, I tend to try to pack too much into a day...often not doing any of it as well as I would if I would just cut the to-do list in half.  I\'m that person who drives to work on auto pilot, without remembering or even taking note of one thing that I\'ve passed along the way.  In a way, I have been hiding behind a hectic schedule to distract myself from my inability to become pregnant.\r\n\r\nI\'ve been listening to the program every morning and it\'s become my favorite part of the day.  I sit in a reclined chair in a sunroom overlooking a garden, with the sun shining on my face.  Who takes time to do that for 15 minutes every day?! The guided visualization and relaxation takes me to a place I would not reach on my own.  I feel refreshed at the end and thankful that I have devoted time to this part of my life that is my first priority, but that I have otherwise feel quite helpless about.\r\n\r\nBecause I begin my day with the program, I make a special effort to keep things in perspective and try and avoid becomming stressed throughout the day.  I don\'t want to \"undo\" what I have accomplished in the morning.

Given the recent studies that suggest a strong link between stress and infertility and the ability to reduce your stress by eliciting the \"Relaxation Response,\" we offer our program as a daily auditory-based program that utilizes guided imagery and deep relaxation techniques that provide a way to activate our mind\'s inherent ability to heal itself.</span></span></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Our program was designed and created by our founder <a href=\"about_joanne\">Joanne Verkuilen </a>with the advice and guidance of medical professionals, mind-body experts and psychologists, including the best-selling author of L<em>ove Medicine &amp; Miracles</em>, Dr. Bernie Siegel. The program uses a patent-pending method of tracking to your reproductive cycle such that every day, upon entering a state of deep relaxation, guided imagery will suggest powerful directives that may help in the balancing of your reproductive system.

She also discusses a specific profound experience she had a few days prior while using the program:</span>\n<blockquote>\"Saturday was Day 24.  I was in bed for the evening and did the day\'s session, the one in which you help someone in need.  I actually helped two people, very close to me...I won\'t get into the details of that, but it was very powerful. And when you instructed to turn our feelings of gratitude and benevolence toward the little egg in our uterus, all of a sudden, my entire body jerked, like a massive twitch.  Literally 5 seconds later, you were saying that you may feel a vibration from that little bundle, because \"it always knows when we are sending it love and positive energy.</blockquote>\n<blockquote>Tears were streaming down my closed eyes, into my hair.  It was so *unbelievably* powerful...mostly because the physical reaction occurred before you even verbalized it.  And I felt so connected and happy and joyous in that moment.  When the session was over, I told my husband, still kind of in awe, what had happened.\"</blockquote>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">That same day she emailed me to let us know:</span></div>\n<blockquote>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\"I can now report that I am your first official success story!!!!!!!

The guided visualization and relaxation takes me to a place I would not reach on my own.  I feel refreshed at the end and thankful that I have devoted time to this part of my life that is my first priority, but that I have otherwise feel quite helpless about.\n\nBecause I begin my day with the program, I make a special effort to keep things in perspective and try and avoid becomming stressed throughout the day.  I don\'t want to \"undo\" what I have accomplished in the morning.

Reducing stress can be obtained by a number of methods such as yoga, meditation, guided-imagery, mindful-breathing exercises, accupuncture, etc. Our daily auditory based 10 - 15 minute programs use a combination of music, guided imagery and even a bit of self-hypnosis to induce relaxation which will help to counter the affects of stress.

text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">The beginning part of the program is all about quieting the mind and relaxing each body part.  We do this by what\'s called a progressive body scan - or walking you through a visualization process of each major body part with relaxation in mind.  It\'s a proven and very effective way to elicit deep relaxation.  Your body will feel very weighted, heavy, and go very quiet after you do this section.  This will help reverse the effects of stress and prepare you for the guided visualization exercises.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h4><span style=\"color: #808000;\"><em>Step Two: Guided Visualization</em></span></h4>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">This section is where the tracking of your cycle becomes important.  Everyday,  our hormones are interacting with one another, changing and causing change within our ovaries and uterus.  In a deep relaxed state and by engaging in visualization exercises, we engage the mind-body connection.  This is an incredibly powerful process that will help promote balance, healing, and restoration to our natural state.  Furthermore, this process becomes that much more impactful when we trust in the process - when we believe it will work.  As Dr. Andrew Weil puts it:</span></p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">\"The mind\'s eye has a special relationship with the healing system.  A great deal of the cerebral cortex is devoted to vision.  Located at the back of the head, this part of the brain mostly occupies itself with processing of information from the retinas of the eyes, but when it disengages from that task and turns inward, one of the most important channels for mind/body communication becomes available.\"</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #808000;\"><em>Step Three:  Strengthening Optimistic Feelings\r\n</em></span></h4>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">This last section provides a small task or visualization exercise that might help address any anxiety or other negative emotions that may have an impact on your body chemistry.   Allowing your imagination to proactively manage things that it needs to address can be very empowering.  Some people find it helpful to write their thoughts or experiences in a journal to reflect on the experiences provided by this exercise.</span></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">And then lastly, we provide the means for you to come back to full awareness allowing you to feel fully restored, refreshed and ready for the rest of the day.</span></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">It is best to find a quiet spot to recline or lie down on your back.  Using an iPod or other personal listening device with earphones is also recommended, but speakers attached to your computer would do the trick as well.</span></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">We recommend that you start the program with Day One, which corresponds to the beginning of your menstruation.  If you want to start it somewhere in the middle of your cycle, that is fine as well, but we do recommend that you listen to the first few programs as we expand greater on the Relaxation Process, as this becomes learned and somewhat shortened as the program progresses throughout the month.</span></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http://www.circlebloom.com/get_started\"><img src=\"http://www.circlebloom.com/wp-content/themes/thesis_151/images/click_get_started_now.gif\" alt=\"\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Warning:  Under no circumstances should you drive while listening to the sessions or operate any kind of heavy machinery since the program is designed to illicit deep relaxation and alternative consciousness.  Please see the <a href=\"http://www.circlebloom.com/terms-of-use/\">Terms of Use</a> for further information.\r\n</strong>','Start to Enhance your Fertility Now.',0,'','inherit','open','open','','14-autosave','','','2009-09-28 15:41:45','2009-09-28 19:41:45','',14,'http://www.circlebloom.com/?p=60',0,'revision','',0),(59,1,'2008-10-17 01:16:33','2008-10-17 01:16:33','<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Did you know that studies done as recently as 2007 have proved that by implementing stress-reduction and relaxation programs, there is a drastic and definable reduction in infertility?</h4>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Welcome to Circle &amp;

The program uses a patent-pending method of tracking to your reproductive cycle such that every day, upon entering a state of deep relaxation, guided imagery will talk to your physical body to suggest powerful directives that may help in the balancing of your reproductive system.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We believe strongly in our mind\'s powerful ability to heal our bodies, and by using guided imagery, we begin to open a positive channel of dialogue between the mind and the body.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our program.</p>','Break the Link Between Stress and Infertilily Now',0,'','inherit','open','open','','2-revision-28','','','2008-10-17 01:16:33','2008-10-17 01:16:33','',2,'http://www.circlebloom.com/?p=59',0,'revision','',0),(61,1,'2008-10-16 01:22:19','2008-10-16 01:22:19','Why we created this website and product, how strongly we feel about it...','About Us',0,'','inherit','open','open','','23-revision-4','','','2008-10-16 01:22:19','2008-10-16 01:22:19','',23,'http://www.circlebloom.com/?p=61',0,'revision','',0),(62,1,'2009-08-25 18:54:59','2009-08-25 18:54:59','<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><span class=\"drop_cap\">O</span><span style=\"color: #808080;\">ur mission at Circle + Bloom is to develop products and provide real-world information and news that can help you use relaxation techniques to improve your fertility.

Should I use this program?</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h4><a name=\"Q1\">What types of infertility is this designed for?</a></h4>\nOur program was designed to help reduce the anxiety and stress associated with infertility, therefore, anyone experiencing infertility can use this program to help better manage the process of getting pregnant.<a name=\"Q2\"></a>\n<h4><a name=\"Q2\">I have not been diagnosed with infertility but I would like to keep my changes of pregnancy as high as possible.  Should I still use the program?</a></h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yes, especially if you have been experiencing growing anxiety as it relates to your pregnancy status.  This program should help you reduce the levels of anxiety associated with getting pregnant, and studies have shown a direct link between stress and infertility.</p>\n\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q3\">Why are there 28 audio files?</a></h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In our product design and research, we discovered that the best possible way to connect mind-body healing with our fertility cycles would be to track our product with the daily changes of our fertility cycle.  Every day our hormones are changing as we move from the follicular phase, to egg maturation and ovulation to the luteual phase.  Therefore, since our program is designed to best elicit the mind-body connection, we thought it best to tailor each individual day to the specific-happenings in your reproductive cycle.  Also, it’s OK if you aren’t exactly on a 28 day reproductive cycle.  If you know when you are ovulating, try to time the Day 14 - 16 to when you ovulate, and simply skip or repeat days preceding and following depending on your typical reproductive cycle.</p>\n\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q4\">How can I augment the program?</a></h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We have found that the program can be enhanced by performing other relaxation-inducing actions, such as listening to soothing music, yoga, acupuncture - and especially journaling.  Picking yourself up a nice looking journal, while letting the words flow about anything that crops to mind can be incredibly therapeutic.  Studies have shown that by writing down events that have caused pain can possibly be more therapeutic than talking it through with a therapist.  Throughout the program, we pose certain questions towards the end of each session that hopefully will illicit certain thoughts and emotions that can be written about on your own.  It’s not necessary, but it certainly can’t hurt.</p>\n\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q5\">Should I listen more than once per day to get double or triple the effects?</a></h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is certainly no harm in listening more than once, but we would suggest that you spend that time - if you find it useful - to do yoga, mindful walking, breathing exercises, meditation, listening to soothing music, and journaling to help round out the program.  If you find it best to listen to each session twice per day for you, then it certainly wouldn’t hurt.</p>\n\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q6\">I have been listening to the program for a few days, but I don\'t feel any different.  Am I doing something wrong?</a></h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This program is not necessarily designed for you to have a “breakthrough” change in your outlook or in your physical makeup.  You may not feel any different right away. Over time, you might find yourself being able to accept stressful moments a bit easier, and you may also have a less negative outlook on your ability to get pregnant. You might also feel effects from being in the state of complete relaxation as new way to manage any kind of stress or difficult situation. Since the relaxation techniques are based on meditation practices and self-hypnosis, we would hope that you could employ the techniques of self-relaxation on your own to achieve this relaxed state whenever you wish.  It can be very helpful for those who have problems falling asleep and staying asleep.</p>\n\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q8\">Why do you recommend “journaling” and how do I do it the correct way?</a></h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Studies have shown that free-writing exercises through journaling can be incredibly therapeutic - even better than traditional couch-based therapy in terms of excising especially painful events in your past.  It doesn’t need to be on a daily basis; it should be done when the mood strikes for how long you wish.  It could be something special that happened that day, or how you felt when something stirred negative emotions in you.  Anything that you feel will help you in your self-discovery process.  It should be only for your eyes - unless you want to share with others.</p>\n\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q9\">What does relaxation have to do with getting pregnant?</a></h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since stress negatively impacts our fertility, reducing stress through relaxation should positively impact your fertility.  Repeated relaxation - something you can do everyday by using Circle &amp; Bloom- will help to reduce stress each and every day.</p>\n\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q10\">I think this might be helpful to a friend of mine.  Can I share this product with her?</a></h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Absolutely.  We have this email form that you can use, or simply send that person the link to our website.  However, please note that it would be unlawful to send the actual audio files to her unless that person has also purchased a license from us directly.</p>\n\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q11\">Do I pay the fee on a monthly basis, or can I use the product indefinitely?</a></h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our fee is a one-time fee for indefinite use of the product by you.</p>\n\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q12\">I have PCOS and having troubles getting pregnant.  Will this help me?</a></h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yes.  The mind/body aspect of our program focuses on the correct balancing of the reproductive hormones.  And don\'t worry if you don\'t have the perfect timing of your cycle figured out when using the program - it doesn\'t need to perfectly aligned to reap the full benefits.  Also, the stress component will also be minimized so if you are feeling increased anxiety the relaxation component will most certainly help you.</p>\n\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q13\">I am in the middle of advanced fertility treatments.  Should I also use this product?</a></h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yes. We have many users who are doing advanced IUI and IVF and have found that using Circle &amp; Bloom has fundamentally improved their levels of stress and so therefore their chances of a successful outcome.  One of our customers used Circle &amp; Bloom for her second IVF treatment (her first was unsuccessful) and she reported a renewed sense of confidence and optimism - to the point that later in the cycle she felt that her body \"started to talk to her.\" She attributes using Circle &amp; Bloom to her successful outcome.  So, yes, we do advise and support using Circle &amp; Bloom through advanced fertility treatments.</p>\n\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q14\">I have been doing acupuncture.   Should I continue with acupuncture at the same time that I have doing Circle &amp; Bloom?</a></h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sure.  There would be nothing that would fundamentally run in conflict with doing acupuncture - especially if you have found that acupuncture has been helping you.</p>\n\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q15\">Should I discontinue using the product if I get pregnant?</a></h4>\nWell that is completely up to you.  Some of our users are letting us know they are using the relaxation part of our program to continue to reap the benefits of relaxation during their first trimester.  If enough of our customers request it, we may be developing a pregnancy relaxation program in the near future.  Let us know if that would be of interest to you.\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q16\">I am over 40 years old and trying to get pregnant.  Should I use this program?</a></h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Absolutely.  This program has nothing to do with age but everthing to do with implementing relaxation to help improve fertility.</p>','FAQs',0,'','inherit','open','open','','18-autosave','','','2009-07-20 02:13:52','2009-07-20 02:13:52','',18,'http://www.circlebloom.com/?p=65',0,'revision','',0),(1020,5,'2009-07-05 15:51:19','2009-07-05 15:51:19','<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Welcome to our Frequently Asked Questions Page.  Should you have further questions, please feel free to <a href=\"contact-us\">contact us</a>.</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><a href=\"#Q1\">What types of infertility is this designed for?</a></li>\r\n	<li><a href=\"#Q2\">I have not been diagnosed with infertility, but I would like to keep my chances of pregnancy as high as possible.

Will this help me?</a></h4>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yes.  The mind/body aspect of our program focuses on the correct balancing of the reproductive hormones.  And don\'t worry if you don\'t have the perfect timing of your cycle figured out when using the program - it doesn\'t need to perfectly aligned to reap the full benefits.  Also, the stress component will also be minimized so if you are feeling increased anxiety the relaxation component will most certainly help you.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q13\">I am in the middle of advanced fertility treatments.  Should I also use this product?</a></h4>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yes. We have many users who are doing advanced IUI and IVF and have found that using Circle &amp; Bloom has fundamentally improved their levels of stress and so therefore their chances of a successful outcome.  One of our customers used Circle &amp; Bloom for her second IVF treatment (her first was unsuccessful) and she reported a renewed sense of confidence and optimism - to the point that later in the cycle she felt that her body \"started to talk to her.\" She attributes using Circle &amp; Bloom to her successful outcome.  So, yes, we do advise and support using Circle &amp; Bloom through advanced fertility treatments.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q14\">I have been doing acupuncture.   Should I continue with acupuncture at the same time that I have doing Circle &amp; Bloom?</a></h4>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sure.  There would be nothing that would fundamentally run in conflict with doing acupuncture - especially if you have found that acupuncture has been helping you.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q15\">Should I discontinue using the product if I get pregnant?</a></h4>\r\nWell that is completely up to you.  Some of our users are letting us know they are using the relaxation part of our program to continue to reap the benefits of relaxation during their first trimester.  If enough of our customers request it, we may be developing a pregnancy relaxation program in the near future.  Let us know if that would be of interest to you.\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"Q16\">I am over 40 years old and trying to get pregnant.  Should I use this program?</a></h4>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Absolutely.  This program has nothing to do with age but everthing to do with implementing relaxation to help improve fertility.</p>','FAQs',0,'','inherit','open','open','','18-revision-41','','','2009-07-05 15:51:19','2009-07-05 15:51:19','',18,'http://www.circlebloom.com/18-revision-41/',0,'revision','',0),(66,1,'2008-10-16 01:24:47','2008-10-16 01:24:47','We have pre-written a lot of helpful questions - insert here, and add a way for people to submit their own questions.','FAQs',0,'','inherit','open','open','','18-revision-4','','','2008-10-16 01:24:47','2008-10-16 01:24:47','',18,'http://www.circlebloom.com/?p=66',0,'revision','',0),(67,1,'2008-10-17 01:34:06','2008-10-17 01:34:06','Frequently Asked Questions About the Circle &amp; Bloom Program\r\n<h4>What types of infertility is this designed for?</h4>\r\nOur program was designed to help reduce the anxiety and stress associated with infertility, therefore, anyone experiencing infertility can use this program to help better manage the process of getting pregnant.\r\n<h4>I have not been diagnosed with infertility, but I would like to keep my chances of pregnancy as high as possible.  Should I still use this program?</h4>\r\nYes, especially if you have been experiencing growing anxiety as it relates to your pregnancy status.  This program should help you reduce the levels of anxiety associated with getting pregnant, and studies have shown a direct link between stress and infertility.\r\n\r\nWhy are there 30 audio files to download?\r\nIn our product design and research, we discovered that the best possible way to connect mind-body healing with our fertility cycles would be to track our product with the daily changes of our fertility cycle.  Every day our hormones are changing as we move from the follicular phase, to egg maturation and ovulation to the lutual phase.  Therefore, since our program is designed is best ellicit the mind-body connection, we thought it best to tailor each individual day to the specific-happenings in your reproductive cycle.  Also, it’s OK if you aren’t exactly at a 30 day reproductive cycle.  If you know when you are ovulating, try to time the Day 14 - 16 to when you ovulate, and simply skip or repeat days preceeding and following depending on your typical reproductive cycle.\r\n\r\nHow can I augment the program?\r\nWe have found that the program can be enhanced by performing other relaxation-inducing actions, such as listening to soothing music, yoga, accupuncture - and especially journaling.  Picking yourself up a nice looking journal, while letting the words flow about anything that crops to mind can be incredibly therapeutic.  Studies have shown that by writing down events that have caused pain can possibly be more therapeutic than talking it through with a therapist.  Throughout the program, we pose certain questions towards the end of each session that hopefully will illicit certain thoughts and emotions that can be written about on your own.  It’s not necessary, but it certainly can’t hurt.\r\n\r\nShould I listen more than once per day to get double or triple the effects?\r\nThere is certainly no harm in listening more than once, but we would suggest that you spend that time - if you find it useful - to do yoga, mindful walking, breathing exercises, meditation, listening to soothing music, and journaling to help round out the program.  If you find it best to listen to each session twice per day for you, then it certainly wouldn’t hurt.\r\n\r\nI have been listening to the program for a few days, but I don’t feel any different.  Am I doing something wrong?\r\nThis program is not necessarily designed for you to have a “breakthrough” change in your outlook or in your physical makeup.  You may not feel any different right away. Over time, you might find yourself being able to accept stressful moments a bit easier, and you may also have a less negative outlook on your ability to get pregnant. You might also feel effects from being in the state of complete relaxation as new way to manage any kind of stress or difficult situation. Since the relaxation techniques are based on meditation practices and self-hypnosis, we would hope that you could employ the techniques of self-relaxation on your own to achieve this relaxed state whenever you wish.  It can be very helpful for those who have problems falling asleep and staying asleep.\r\n\r\nWhat if I change my mind after downloading the product.  Can I receive my money back?\r\nAbsolutely.  We stand by our product no questions-asked.  If you aren’t totally satisfied, just let us know within 45 days and we will refund 100% of your money.\r\n\r\nWhy do you recommend “journaling” and how do I do it the correct way?\r\nStudies by [cite Alice Domar] have shown that free-writing exercises through journaling can be incredibly therapeutic - even better than traditional couch-based therapy in terms of excising especially painful events in your past.  It doesn’t need to be on a daily basis; it should be done when the mood strikes for how long you wish.  It could be something special that happened that day, or how you felt when something stirred negative emotions in you.  Anything that you feel will help you in your self-discovery process.  It should be only for your eyes - unless you want to share with others.\r\n\r\nWhat does relaxation have to do with getting pregnant?\r\n\r\nI think this might be helpful to a friend of mine.  Can I share this product with her?\r\nAbsolutely.  We have this email form that you can use, or simply send that person the link to our website.  However, please note that it would be unlawful to send the actual audio files to her unless that person has also purchased a license from us directly.\r\nDo I pay the fee on a monthly basis, or can I use the product indefinitely?\r\nOur fee is a one-time fee for indefinite use of the product.\r\nI have PCOS and having troubles getting pregnant.  Will this help me?\r\n\r\nI am in the middle of advanced fertility treatments.  Should I also use this product?\r\nI have been doing accupuncture.   Should I continue with accunpuncture at the same time that I have doing Circle &amp; Bloom?\r\nMy cycles are irregular.  How should I do the program to run in tandem with my cycle?\r\nShould I discontinue using the product if I get pregnant?\r\nI am over 40 years old and trying to get pregnant.  Should I use this program?\r\nTechnology-related FAQs','FAQs',0,'','inherit','open','open','','18-revision-5','','','2008-10-17 01:34:06','2008-10-17 01:34:06','',18,'http://www.circlebloom.com/?p=67',0,'revision','',0),(68,1,'2008-10-17 01:37:02','2008-10-17 01:37:02','Frequently Asked Questions About the Circle &amp; Bloom Program\r\n<h4>What types of infertility is this designed for?</h4>\r\nOur program was designed to help reduce the anxiety and stress associated with infertility, therefore, anyone experiencing infertility can use this program to help better manage the process of getting pregnant.\r\n<h4>I have not been diagnosed with infertility, but I would like to keep my chances of pregnancy as high as possible.

We believe strongly in the mind to heal the body and that anyone can do it - it just takes knowledge and the right tools. Given the recent studies that suggest a strong link between stress and infertility and the ability to reduce your stress by eliciting the \"Relaxation Response,\" our program is a daily auditory-based program that utilizes guided imagery and deep relaxation techniques that provides a way to link our inherent mind-body healing ability.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our program was designed and created by our Founder, Joanne Verkuilen, with the advice and guidance of medical professionals, mind-body experts and psychologists. The program uses a patent-pending method of tracking to your reproductive cycle such that every day, upon entering a state of deep relaxation, guided imagery will talk to your physical body to suggest powerful directives that may help in the balancing of your reproductive system. We believe strongly in our mind\'s powerful ability to heal our bodies, and by using guided imagery, we begin to open a positive channel of dialogue between the mind and the body.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The stress-infertility connection is real.

Should I still use this program?</h4>\r\nYes, especially if you have been experiencing growing anxiety as it relates to your pregnancy status.  This program should help you reduce the levels of anxiety associated with getting pregnant, and studies have shown a direct link between stress and infertility.\r\n<h4>Why are there 28 audio files?</h4>\r\nIn our product design and research, we discovered that the best possible way to connect mind-body healing with our fertility cycles would be to track our product with the daily changes of our fertility cycle.  Every day our hormones are changing as we move from the follicular phase, to egg maturation and ovulation to the luteual phase.  Therefore, since our program is designed to best elicit the mind-body connection, we thought it best to tailor each individual day to the specific-happenings in your reproductive cycle.  Also, it’s OK if you aren’t exactly on a 28 day reproductive cycle.  If you know when you are ovulating, try to time the Day 14 - 16 to when you ovulate, and simply skip or repeat days preceding and following depending on your typical reproductive cycle.\r\n<h4>How can I augment the program?</h4>\r\nWe have found that the program can be enhanced by performing other relaxation-inducing actions, such as listening to soothing music, yoga, acupuncture - and especially journaling.  Picking yourself up a nice looking journal, while letting the words flow about anything that crops to mind can be incredibly therapeutic.  Studies have shown that by writing down events that have caused pain can possibly be more therapeutic than talking it through with a therapist.  Throughout the program, we pose certain questions towards the end of each session that hopefully will illicit certain thoughts and emotions that can be written about on your own.  It’s not necessary, but it certainly can’t hurt.\r\n<h4>Should I listen more than once per day to get double or triple the effects?</h4>\r\nThere is certainly no harm in listening more than once, but we would suggest that you spend that time - if you find it useful - to do yoga, mindful walking, breathing exercises, meditation, listening to soothing music, and journaling to help round out the program.  If you find it best to listen to each session twice per day for you, then it certainly wouldn’t hurt.\r\n<h4>I have been listening to the program for a few days, but I don’t feel any different.  Am I doing something wrong?</h4>\r\nThis program is not necessarily designed for you to have a “breakthrough” change in your outlook or in your physical makeup.  You may not feel any different right away. Over time, you might find yourself being able to accept stressful moments a bit easier, and you may also have a less negative outlook on your ability to get pregnant. You might also feel effects from being in the state of complete relaxation as new way to manage any kind of stress or difficult situation. Since the relaxation techniques are based on meditation practices and self-hypnosis, we would hope that you could employ the techniques of self-relaxation on your own to achieve this relaxed state whenever you wish.  It can be very helpful for those who have problems falling asleep and staying asleep.\r\n<h4>What if I change my mind after downloading the product.  Can I receive my money back?</h4>\r\nAbsolutely.  We stand by our product no questions-asked.  If you aren’t totally satisfied, just let us know within 45 days and we will refund 100% of your money.\r\n<h4>Why do you recommend “journaling” and how do I do it the correct way?</h4>\r\nStudies by [cite Alice Domar] have shown that free-writing exercises through journaling can be incredibly therapeutic - even better than traditional couch-based therapy in terms of excising especially painful events in your past.  It doesn’t need to be on a daily basis; it should be done when the mood strikes for how long you wish.  It could be something special that happened that day, or how you felt when something stirred negative emotions in you.  Anything that you feel will help you in your self-discovery process.  It should be only for your eyes - unless you want to share with others.\r\n<h4>What does relaxation have to do with getting pregnant?</h4>\r\n[we are working on an answer...stay tuned]\r\n<h4>I think this might be helpful to a friend of mine.  Can I share this product with her?</h4>\r\nAbsolutely.  We have this email form that you can use, or simply send that person the link to our website.  However, please note that it would be unlawful to send the actual audio files to her unless that person has also purchased a license from us directly.\r\n<h4>Do I pay the fee on a monthly basis, or can I use the product indefinitely?</h4>\r\nOur fee is a one-time fee for indefinite use of the product by you.\r\n<h4>I have PCOS and having troubles getting pregnant.  Will this help me?</h4>\r\n[we are working on an answer...stay tuned]\r\n<h4>I am in the middle of advanced fertility treatments.  Should I also use this product?</h4>\r\n[we are working on an answer...stay tuned]\r\n<h4>I have been doing accupuncture.   Should I continue with accunpuncture at the same time that I have doing Circle &amp; Bloom?</h4>\r\n[we are working on an answer...stay tuned]\r\n<h4>My cycles are irregular.  How should I do the program to run in tandem with my cycle?</h4>\r\n[we are working on an answer...stay tuned]\r\n<h4>Should I discontinue using the product if I get pregnant?</h4>\r\n[we are working on an answer...stay tuned]\r\n<h4>I am over 40 years old and trying to get pregnant.

His medicine is less science and more of an empathetic understanding of the whole interconnectedness of our very complicated molecular structures.  Everything works together - both on the positive and, unfortunately, on the negative as well.</span></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">The mind-body connection works very simply.

Almost out of my control, Frankenstein-like, it needed to exist. It became my all-consuming thought, even with a full-time finance job and two young kids at home to take care of. Vacations and weekends were my time to work on this project, and everyone in my life can attest to this craziness that has consumed me.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, you can imagine my happiness that the \"birth\" of this project/company is just about here. I highlight \"just about\" because this website and blog are really only the pre-show the <a title=\"Circle &amp; Bloom Products\" href=\"http://www.circlebloom.com/?page_id=14\">real deal.</a> I will explain that more as we go.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If not evident already, this idea revolves around the impact of stress and fertility. Throughout my 30s, this issue has come up in many ways - throughout my own struggle with pregnancy (which did end with a perfect outcome) and scores of friends who went through absolute heart-wrenching experiences. This has been underscored with my long-standing interest in mind-body health and the ability to ellicit real physical changes through imagining meditation which is - <strong>the ability to use intense relaxation sessions combined with visual imagery to bring about real physical changes and open the possibilities for healing.</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I really dove headfirst into multiple areas of medicine, mind-body connection, reproductive health, etc. - reading anything I could get my hands on, talking with experts in the field, interviewing friends who are experiencing unexplained infertility, drafting the Circle &amp; Bloom program, etc. I even took classes on website programming.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I will be very honest with you at all times:  I am not a doctor, nor will I ever pretend to be. I am not a therapist, hypnotist, or any other medical person in any way shape or form. I will never promise that I can \"get you pregnant\" with any potions, magic-pill or any other such nonsense - nor am I a faith-based devotee like the Christian Scientists, etc.  <strong>But, with the infertility rate rising each year, I believe there is a fundamental problem with the overall approach to fertility issues.</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The standard approach to solving fertility problems is from the neck down, when a full body approach examining underlying the emotional state and anxiety levels may help to turn things around.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">I invite you to join us into how we can take control of these issues ourselves by researching the mind-body effects on our reproductive health.

His medicine is less science and more of an empathetic understanding of the whole interconnectedness of our very complicated molecular structures.  Everything works together - both on the positive and, unfortunately, on the negative as well.</span></p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">The mind-body connection works very simply. Imagine at this moment biting into an apple, orange or a bunch of grapes. Take a moment or two to really imagine how it would taste.....and now feel the saliva in your mouth.  A real physiological change brought about by a single thought.  Amplify that now with a program like Circle + Bloom and imagine the possibilities.</span></p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"></p>','\"Are You Saying This is All in My Mind!?!\"',0,'','inherit','open','open','','111-autosave','','','2009-08-17 20:23:00','2009-08-17 20:23:00','',111,'http://www.circlebloom.com/?p=124',0,'revision','',0),(125,1,'2008-10-20 02:58:10','2008-10-20 02:58:10','<blockquote><address><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.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a hormone imbalance that affects about 5-10% of women in the U.S. It basically puts your ovaries into overdrive, producing many cysts (hence the \"poly\" in the name) instead of healthy eggs. Throughout my twenties and early into my marriage, the diagnosis that \"pregnancy may be difficult\" was there lurking in the background, but I honestly didn\'t get too hung up on it as it was something to be dealt with at a later time. I was blessed to have two perfect children, but not without a lot of heart-ache and emotional ups and downs along the way.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our first child came within six months of \"trying but not trying.\" It was easy, actually. No temperature monitoring, no buying pregnancy tests in bulk, no infertility procedures, and more importantly, very little stress. There was no figuring out when my period was supposed to come, and waiting with baited breath to see if it did. It was living life normally.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The second child, who came almost five years later, was a bit of a different story. We did the same approach to start, but after a year of trying unsuccessfully, we knew that we needed to start taking things more seriously. So, the tests, the timing, and the waiting started in earnest. It was hard, and what I found was that my normal thought pattern started to shift. Images of swaddled babies smelling like baby powder became regular. I would get a twinge in the pit of my stomach when I saw a pregnant woman. I found myself looking at those tiny little outfits and imagining a fully stocked dresser of tiny diapers, lotions, and wipes. Looking back, I am sure I had become a bit depressed and somewhat crazy. Well-meaning friends and family  would comment how lucky we were to have one healthy child. A few times the pregnancy test came back positive and the rush of those emotions flooded me, only to find out weeks later that the pregnancies were not viable and needed to be terminated. Heart. Ache.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I had two very different experiences having two terrific kids. Can I say that my depression and stress that I felt hampered my ability to get pregnant the second time? Who knows. What I can say for sure, however, is that my infertility problems certainly did contribute to my stress and depression and we all know the detrimental effects on our body when we have such extreme emotions.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I have always believed in the mind-body connection, but in the case of my second pregnancy, had no idea how I could help myself through the problem. I know that the emotions that we carry around with us, especially anger and anxiety, can be energy-sappers, but can also be destructive to the careful balancing of our hormonal and immune systems.  The negativity captures excess energy that could be redirected elsewhere in the bodies - most importantly your reproductive system. By freeing this negative energy through relaxation, meditation and even recording your thoughts in a journal, we begin the wonderful process of recovery and healing.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I started Circle + Bloom™ to help others in this process of taking a more proactive stance. Helping ourselves help ourselves. Through the power of the mind-body connection along with the stress-infertility link - we have the knowledge to take matters in our own hands (we do not advocate, however, to delay seeing a doctor, if you suspect problems with being able to get pregnant).</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, comments or ideas:  joanne@circlebloom.com.  We\'d love to hear from you.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"></p>','About Joanne',0,'','publish','closed','closed','','about_joanne','','','2009-09-24 20:41:58','2009-09-24 20:41:58','',0,'http://www.circlebloom.com/?page_id=143',16,'page','',0),
