#137 The Power of the Neutral Mind
What does it mean to be in the neutral mind? The neutral mind can be compared to the eye of the storm. We experience something, anything, and we provide it meaning. Most of that meaning exists in the positive and negative mind. The positive mind will say “this is amazing, but I’m afraid to lose it” and this causes suffering from clinging. The negative mind will say “this is horrible, it needs to end” and this causes suffering from resisting. This “push and pull” is often taught about in Buddhism as one of the aspects of our suffering, and the neutral mind which is where we observe with non-judgement is where we can obtain the peace and clarity that exists in the eye of the storm. Listen in to find out how this can be applied to the fertility journey!

#121 Why Your Intuition is Vital for Your Fertility Journey
Everyone is born with intuition. In fact, the intuition is simply another sense that may have not received as much attention or acknowledgment as our other senses – at least not in the scientific world.
We have all had moments where we ignored our intuition only to later regret it. Why do we have such a strong memory of the urge we felt and then later ignored? It’s as if we knew the difference between intuition and thought but simply doubted it.
Join me on this episode as I share the reasons why most of us ignore our intuitive calls and how to evoke and strengthen this amazing sense! When you’re on the fertility journey, it becomes the clarity you need to make important decisions!
