The Breath & Birth Co Podcast
A Journey Through Color: Pregnancy Meditation
In this episode of the Breath and Birth Co podcast, Vanessa, a Certified Birth Doula and Childbirth Educator, guides listeners through a calming color meditation. This meditation is designed to bring peace, connection, and energy to expectant mothers by visualizing a chosen color. The episode begins with breathing exercises, then leads into the meditation where the color evolves through different imagery and interacts with the body.
Why Color Visualization Can Support Your Pregnancy
Color is more than what we see, it’s what we feel. It holds energy, memory, warmth, and power. When paired with mindfulness and breath, color can become a source of grounding, healing, and intuitive connection.
In this meditation, you choose the color. The one that feels safe. The one that brings peace. The one that wraps you up in the kind of support your nervous system is craving. There’s no right answer, just trust what arrives.
What You’ll Experience in This Guided Practice
You’ll begin by settling your breath and calling to mind a color that brings comfort. Then, through a series of calming visualizations, that color becomes a floating balloon, a rhythm of pulsing light, and a shifting spectrum—each version showing you something new about how you feel and what you need.
This meditation invites you to:
•Follow the color’s expansion and rhythm
•Let it flow through your body, offering warmth and presence
•Witness its shifts from light to dark, just like the rhythms of your own emotions
•Carry its strength and softness with you into your pregnancy and birth journey
Ways to Use This Meditation
🎨 Repeat it weekly, using the same color to anchor your nervous system in familiarity and peace
🎨 Try a new color each time to explore how different energies feel in your body
🎨 Use it as a daily check-in with your baby—imagining them wrapped in the color’s embrace
🎨 Lean on it during moments of anxiety, overwhelm, or insomnia
