Brief Summary:
Infertility is estimated to affect 15 of reproductive age couples worldwide and is defined as the inability to conceive after 12 months of unprotected sex for women under 35 or 6 months for women over 35 and is associated with stress especially due to psychological factors such as anxiety frustration and depression In addition women seeking treatment for pregnancy suffer additional stressors - significant emotional burdens and physical changes that can increase stress and anxiety levels The possibility of an association between emotional stress and pregnancy outcome in women undergoing assisted reproduction treatment makes important therapies that address the psychological state of these women Meditation and Reiki have been used to successfully reduce stress and anxiety in various health contexts
