(Looking with your eyes' mind at the colors you need)
Following the idea that color is a tool to modify behavior, some
researchers have found that the color pink has a calming effect. Green tends to
tranquilize and produce equilibrium, Violet has an intense electrochemical power, when the
person is under strong cardiovascular and nervous tension, the violet color helps to
harmonize and synchronize different functions of the organism. Blue produces serenity and
even produces a cold sensation, it has the most tranquilizing effect besides pink. Orange
colors rise the blood pressure and the activity of certain cerebral waves and breathing
increases frequency.
In some investigations evidence has been found
that certain colors and muscles work together. For example, some colors induce relaxation
but others induce muscular tension. Knowing these facts, it seems possible to induce the
uterus opening visualizing certain colors. By this, it is possible that the dilation of
the uterus could be obtained faster and, in consequence, delivery process could be shorter
and faster.
The core idea is to imagine the dilation of the
uterus from 0 cm. to 10 cm. associating the process with colored circles. You can make
your own colored circles with construction paper and with the following characteristics:
- A pink circle of 2 cm of diameter
- A light green circle of 4 cm of diameter
- A violet circle of 6 cm of diameter
- A light blue circle of 8 cm of diameter
- An orange apple circle of 10 cm of diameter

It is important to train yourself
to visualize this circles. Take them one by one and observe every circle, concentrate,
then close your eyes and try to see it in your mind. Practice this exercise until you can
have a perfect visualization of every color and shape.
During the delivery process (please read the page
related to childbirth) visualize the colors in this sequence:
| When contractions
occur every 10 to 15 minutes and last 20 seconds |
Visualize the pink circle |
| To help your
uterus to arrive to a opening of 4 cm. |
Visualize the light green
circle |
| When you feel
contractions every 5 minutes (30-40 seconds each) |
Visualize the violet circle |
| When contractions
occur every 3 to 4 minutes |
Visualize the light blue
