Dr.Freud might not have gotten everything right, but he was on target when he said, “In the realm of self-deception, every man is a genius.”

Yoga has become the most widely used healing tool in so many areas of our lives. Many IVF clinics offer fertility yoga classes. Sounds good, doesn’t it?
But when we aim for “transcendence” without “descending” into some of the murky places in our fragile fertile hearts, yoga becomes yet another escape route from facing the reflection of the snot-nosed oOphan-of-the-moment.
So, in case for you—as for me and so many of the women I have worked with —yoga has turned into an aid in the art of self-deception, this video could be just the remedy you need.
If we could share some of the ingenious ways we have found to distract ourselves from what’s painful, we might make it easier for each other to return to the trail of truth.
I love this poem Julia!!! it Thanks so much!
Thank you for a little laugh! I definitely thought yoga at first was going to help me just relax and let go! Ha little did I know I felt more pissed when I was trying to relax. The orphans in me felt so strained and I even felt myself at times ready to just sob. The OVUM work has helped me work with these orphans. I will say when I find myself struggling with an orphan through my yoga practice. I then work with that orphan in the evening when doing my Fertile heart work!
Lol Julia , it had an end that i expected the least, i had rewind it two times thinking that I missunderstood. I love it :)
Ha!! I did NOT expect that ending, Julia! So SO true.
I found body truth to be much more of a release than yoga ever was to me. I especially like welcome home. It feels so good to me to move my body and let it truly speak. This is a giod reminder that i need to do it more. Thank you for your bold and powerful videos. Sometimes only that word will do! Loved it. :).
Brilliant Julia!!! I laughed out loud!
Its been a very long time since I was on a Fertile Heart call, I’m still practicing in my way though. What I really wanted to say was that issues that first revealed themselves to me about 3 or more years ago, through Body Truth, that at the time I did not fully understand, have finally been fully clarified and healed over the last year with the help of a Vision Quest, some ‘Creative Kineseology’and of course more OVUM practice.
Love and thanks to you

What a powerful and liberating reminder for us! This is wonderful! My husband and I watched this video together, and we laughed out loud together — my husband saying that he connected with Julia’s humor and style.
I love how Julia teaches us to tap into our body’s truth by truly listening to what it has to say. Her powerful story about her experience while practicing the Child’s Pose — when she was overcome with sobbing and release — realizing that she was afraid of re-living the emergency C-section she had experienced with her first child — tells of the wisdom our bodies hold. If we listen with quiet, loving respect, we will be led to our truths, our healing, and thus, life!!
Thank you, dear Julia! With love and gratitude, Anna
I love this!! I laughed out loud at the end. Classic. But so true–I know many of my issues originate with me denying what’s happened in my past and how I feel about it.
I love the last the last three words of this poem Julia! That was so not what I was expecting to hear- and I just roared! I found a lot of meaning in this piece. I realized that I have used yoga as an aid of self-deception, as a way to escape having to do the ” work “. It’s a poignant reminder to use any fertility tools with intent and meaning and not as an means to silence the voices of our orphans. Loved it!
