A Mind Movie is a visualisation in the form of imagined moving images – just like a movie – which you create to watch inside your mind when you listen to your download.

Follow the steps below to create your Conception Mind Movie.

Step 1: Identify

The crucial moment in the IUI process is the injection of sperm into your uterus.

Think about the steps your body needs physically to do to conceive:

your ovaries will release an egg into your fallopian tubes during ovulation;

high quality sperm will be injected into your uterus in the IUI process;

the sperm will meet the egg in the fallopian tube; the sperm will fertilise the egg by penetrating its outer shell and creating a new cell;

the new cell will start dividing and becomes a “blastocyst” which travels down the fallopian tube;

the blastocyst will attach itself to the wall of your womb;

it will develop into a foetus and placenta.

Step 2: Relax

Close your eyes.

Find somewhere comfortable to relax.

Take five deep breaths (inhale through your nose for four or five counts, exhale through your mouth at a slower pace).

Then breathe deeply in a way that is comfortable for you, taking breaths from low down in your abdomen. Place your hand on your stomach to check that it is moving up and down as you breathe.

Step 3: Create

Create a Mind Movie in which you imagine those steps to becoming pregnant taking place inside your body.

Imagine the IUI procedure injecting the high quality sperm into your uterus;

imagine the sperm meeting the egg;

imagine the egg being fertilised;

imagine the blastocyst attaching to the womb wall;

imagine it developing into a foetus and placenta.

Step 4: Detail

Your Mind Movie should be in full colour and last about 30 seconds.

Step 5: Control

Imagine you have a control board in front of you which allows you to play with your Mind Movie.

Practice watching the steps to conceiving on the screen, as well as experiencing it as if it is happening inside your own body (imagine jumping into your body in your movie).

Step 6: Repeat

Play your Mind Movie repeatedly.

Work it into your every day activities: e.g. when you brush your teeth, your hair, when you have a hot drink, or take a loo break and so on.
