Good advice: Meditation is good for health in general amd a warm bath helps meditation. Do not get the idea that it is easy. You need to learn how to meditate. A tranquil mind is good for conception. The more you want it the harder it is to conceive.

Mind-Body support: We believe that reducing stress improves infertility and ivf outcomes. Dr domar championed the concept of a mind-body program to reduce stress and imporve your outlook and hopefulness. I do not know for sure if this is the goal but the idea is out there and scientific research supports reducing stress where possible. Does it help (?, but probably), probably does not hurt - no. Best wishes.
