I like the idea of holding the "baby"...add me to your 'crazy' list but during the IVF process I got a book about how much a mama cows love her baby cow and read it often to help make that "connection". <br /><br />Also, to answer your questions...AAA here. I was supposed to use the beach scene to relax during labor but I just couldn't get there!?<br /><br />Take care...Smiles, HeidiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211913724523284153.post-23017731823155412742009-09-13T19:05:07.782-05:002009-09-13T19:05:07.782-05:00Wow Jill, what a post!

I can comprehend God and feel the most able to comprehend and connect when in nature or witnessing something beautiful, but I'll readily admit the relationship has been tough given these past years with IF and all the crap with my Dad. <br /><br />Keep on keeping on!DAVshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16759565504954172751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211913724523284153.post-50394292361951293632009-09-13T18:28:18.957-05:002009-09-13T18:28:18.957-05:00One of my classes at ORU required me to take a lea...One of my classes at ORU required me to take a learning style test. I am a kinestetic learner as well. I only had 2 or 3 towards visual and 1 towards audible. The strange thing is though that the test I took about right brain/left brain said that I am high right brain. So I'm not sure how that works out. I guess I can be a little of both. I can't experience the beach thing either. :P As far as God goes, I think my experience with Him has been more real because of the things I have been through and the many little ways I've seen Him come through for me and speak to me. It may be easier for someone who is right brained to comprehend God, but I would say it is far from impossible for someone who is left brained. I took a short class about hearing God's voice. And the man teaching it was very left brained he said. He would feel the same frusration you described. He continued to pray for God to help him and show him how to hear his voice like everyone else seemed to. God did, and now this man has a whole school dedicated to teaching people the same things God taught him. Anyway, just wanted to encourage you on that subject, because I know what its like to feel like God is 1 million miles away and I know what its like to feel like He is standing right in front of me. Just keep praying, God will show you Himself in a way that is special and just right for you.Sharonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211913724523284153.post-28650618152956119792009-09-13T14:32:53.009-05:002009-09-13T14:32:53.009-05:00What an interesting post! I am an ABA person but, ...What an interesting post! I am an ABA person but, honestely, probably more of an AAA - the only difference is that I grew up on the beach. I literally spent every day of my summers growing up on a beach...for that reason, I usually picture a beach when I want to relax, but instead of making it up, it is something that I've really experienced, does that make sense? So, I'm not sure what that means. I did grow up in a church (A LOT). My family was very Roman Catholic and my grandma had me for a couple of years and took me to Legion of Mary meetings...since I've grown, I grew apart and then back and changed religions and am very happy and content now...but I still find it abstract and struggle somewhat...but that is because I am insanely analytical and logical and religion and spirituality will never be either of those things. <br /><br />That session sounds great. I'd feel silly buying a doll too -but I'd do it. I was never able to envision it...sometimes I still struggle with it. I think it is a defense mechanism for me since I have been somewhat afraid to allow myself to REALLY envision it b/c I think I'll be more hurt if it doesn't come to pass because envisioning it = feeling it. Not sure. I'm working on it.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05323373273366929886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211913724523284153.post-36888887845357722952009-09-13T13:48:52.363-05:002009-09-13T13:48:52.363-05:00Hi there...

I was always thinking.."I don't have a testimony" of how God saved me through this or that. But with infertility, I have found my testimony...crazy as it seems, I love Him more now than before. <br />I still struggle with understanding, accepting, not questioning, etc...but that is only natural.<br />Praying for you and your FET!!!The Coach's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16061486602815228319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211913724523284153.post-66409388661628701952009-09-13T12:52:59.409-05:002009-09-13T12:52:59.409-05:00Jill - thanks so much for this post!

I have been exchanging emails with Lynsi, and was thinking of asking for a session in the next week or so, and your post has helped me decide to go for it, 100%. I was thinking of starting with one session, but looks like we may need to budget in more! :-)<br /><br />Now for the answers:<br /><br />Totally left brained (and DH is right brained)<br />I can picture the beach, but not experience it.<br />I find myself struggling with my relationship with God too - I believe in a higher power, but I'm not able to totally comprehend it. <br /><br />So there you go - totally AAA!! I think I need Lynsi! :-)Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15469466620967385694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211913724523284153.post-64569162241612047172009-09-13T12:26:20.940-05:002009-09-13T12:26:20.940-05:00OMG, I can so relate to your post and feeling of n...OMG, I can so relate to your post and feeling of not being able to experience it! I had a similar experience w/ a IF coach a few months ago and I was so pissed that I could not "feel" it - I could picture what she asked, but when she asked how does it feel, what do you feel - I was like 'I don't know' - nothing. Also, I have been struggling with finding my faith the past year (another story - again, I believe, but difficult).<br /><br />So...your post makes so much sense! I am def AAA....although, I would consider myself L-brain, I have strived to have more R-brain qualities over the years.<br /><br />I am curious, did Lynsi recommend working on R brain things to be more balanced? Is that the goal?<br /><br />Thanks for sharing such an insightful experience for you!

You also made me think-darn you, times two! But all the same, I am glad you're seeking help...it is not a weakness, it's a strength. And with Kerry supporting and standing beside you, it will all work out! I pray for peace for you soon! Love always and a day...Aunt Kook<br /><br />Now for your survey:<br /><br />B. Right<br /><br />When you visualize the beach, can you actually experience it? <br /><br />A. I can "picture" it, but I don't actually experience it. I still find it relaxing! <br /><br />B. I believe in God, I find it easy to comprehend.<br /><br />I'm anxious to meet an ABB, do you exist? What's your secret???<br /><br />Not sure what catagory I fall into, but I believe in God for He is the One who has made it possible to rise above and go on through some of the most difficult times of my life. There is no other explanation for me to have survived thus far and it is very "freeing" to not look any farther for the reasons why I have coped so well because I already know and I am empowered by knowing that God controls my fate if I listen and follow His plan. Peace. <br /><br />So whatever catagory that falls under, I'm there!<br /><br />have a great day! xoxoxoxoxo<br /><br />THE END!Aunt Kooknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211913724523284153.post-39335996428224751232009-09-13T09:34:29.313-05:002009-09-13T09:34:29.313-05:00I"m pretty much an AAA person, although visua...I"m pretty much an AAA person, although visualization doesn't come that hard for me, but I almost always visualize or add details of somewhere I've actually been. So I've experienced the exact beach you ask me to visualize, and it is relaxing. And I suck at math, much more language oriented, and am good at understanding/reading emotions of others, so I guess that's a bit right-brained. But analytical, oh yeah. Organized, goal-oriented, anal? Yup. <br /><br />If you like this concept, you'd love the Myers-Briggs. It's a psychological test that breaks personality down into 4 polarized traits, and everybody falls somewhere on the grid. Really helpful for understanding yourself, but also how others interact with the world differently than you might.Piehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07331859341593997811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211913724523284153.post-36650461661098985802009-09-13T09:04:54.682-05:002009-09-13T09:04:54.682-05:00This is one of your BEST posts yet in my opinion (...This is one of your BEST posts yet in my opinion (and they've ALL been good)....very informative and really makes you "think". <br /><br />Here are my answers: <br /><br />Are you left or right brain dominant?

I have determined that I'm right brain dominant. While can both visualize and experience the beach based on location, I can still do this without getting in the car and traveling. I like to do this in the chiropractors office. As I've gotten older there are times that thoughts creep in as to if its really possible for there to be this all knowing power for everyone? But immediately, I'm reminded of all the times in my life of good and bad, and good that has come from the bad that all relate to scripture, and that puts me a peace again.<br /><br />I guess the BBB runs in the family. <br /><br />I'm glad you have made this discovery, and that you are on your way with building on it. If I can do anything, let me know. <br />P.S. I cracked up about the doll, but I did the same with my pregnancy with Ryan to prepare the cats. :)Lyndsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02324477118853511217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211913724523284153.post-73878678782262068682009-09-13T01:02:01.757-05:002009-09-13T01:02:01.757-05:00Wow, Jill, this whole post is fascinating to read!...Wow, Jill, this whole post is fascinating to read! Good for you for making such discoveries about yourself and your journey.<br /><br />Like Phoebe, I consider myself an ABB person too. Analytical, organized, and anal to the core even working as an enginerd. I can picture the beach and take myself there, but have trouble "staying" there... Maybe the God concept is easier to understand because it is something I have always been brought up with knowing.<br /><br />I relate to Phoebe's premonitions so much. There are so many things I have always "felt" before they happened and it is how I always know that no matter how "bad" it gets everything will work out in the end. I see beginnings and ends, but struggle through the path and question myself to the point of feeling crazy.<br /><br />Great post, Jill.Lost in Spacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07027117135940864685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211913724523284153.post-25573767189798699692009-09-13T00:09:16.890-05:002009-09-13T00:09:16.890-05:00I need to schedule an appointment with Lynsi!

I just think I'm weird. My left dominated brain doesn't get my right dominated brain, so I end up questioning my intuition a lot. Remember my story about having two waking premonitions about my car accident? The premonitions are right brain. My left brain totally poo-pooed it, so I didn't take it seriously. Sometimes, I feel schizophrenic!!<br /><br />Anyways, I'm glad you posted this. I really have been thinking about doing some sessions with Lynsi because I can't get the trauma of IF out of my head! I'm hoping this will allow me to hope again!Phoebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07668069274859889749noreply@blogger.com
