What is Indigo Light?

Indigo is the colour of dusk, of the deepest parts of the ocean and it is the second last colour of a rainbow. White light (and sunlight) consists of seven different colours - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Rainbows form when the sunlight is scattered by water droplets (like raindrops or fog). The sunlight changes direction when it passes through any medium denser than air by a process called refraction. When sunlight goes through crystal it also refracts in much the same way.

What else is associated with Indigo? 

In our bodies we have energy centres or *chakras that carry the same frequencies as the different colours present in white light - when broken down into its seven different componential colours - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.  Based on this analogy, indigo is the colour associated with the 6th chakra (as shown in the image below.)

The word *chakra comes from the original Sanskrit word cakra which means "wheel". In our bodies our chakras refer to energy centres in the body. The main energy centres run along the spine, and we have seven main chakras in the body.

In the language associated with this colour, indigo would be the colour of intuition, the higher mind, meditation, dreams and spiritual insight. The 6th chakra and the colour indigo is associated with the realm of mystery, and inner knowing - that which is sensed more than it is felt. We can think of it as the realm of our higher selves, and of knowing beyond knowing. It is also the place of our intuition (someone wisely described it as our place of "inner tuition"). 

The third eye or 6th chakra is therefore often seen as the chakra associated with seers - those gifted to receive guidance and information from the spiritual realms. 

From the outside the 6th chakra is located between the eyebrows, above the base of the nose, but from the inside this energy centre is really in the brain, and it is associated with the pineal gland. Rene Descartes, a French philosopher, referred to this gland as the “seat of the soul”, and from his perspective "the soul and the body interacted there".

The ability to be mindful - to be in the moment, and to be present from moment to moment - is also associated with the third eye. Any ideas around the sensing of deeper meaning in life can be related to this chakra. Some say it is the seat of wisdom, and the seat of conscience. Memory, intuition, pattern recognition, certain learning skills, deeper insights than that which is obvious, spiritually mindedness, sixth sense abilities, and creative impetus - are all areas associated with the 6th chakra.

If you listen to your deepest wisdom, your life can move with ease. If you can sense, and see from this place, you can be considered as being an intuitive.

I have found out that I am an Intuitive - it only took me close to sixty years to acknowledge and accept it as such. From this place I do what I do at Indigo Light. 

At Indigo Light

I work as an Intuitive. This means that I have gifts of extrasensory perception. That is not exceptional, because we have all received special spiritual senses (some of us have developed these, and some have not.) 

To clarify what I am referring to by extrasensory perception, let it suffice to say that among these gifts you will find Clairsentience, Clairvoyance, Claircognizance, Clairaudience and so on. To find out more about it, I suggest that you read what other people wrote. I am not going to define it better than what is already out there. Michele Thompson wrote a blog about the  "8 clair senses" which offers a quick summary, and it's nicely to the point. 

I also loved what tea & rosemary wrote about Clairsentience, one of the gifts I often use in my Intuitive healing work. The image below comes from Heal to Heel, an Australian website, and I also like the simplicity of this specific image, because it summarizes these gifts. If you are curious, you can delve into it further.

In everyday language I am simply a therapist, a counsellor, a healer, and a teacher, and over time one of my specializations has been working with HSP's (Highly Sensitive Persons). 

I always welcome new clients, and what you know about the above-mentioned senses or about HSP's really will not make a difference to how I work with you. I trust my Intuition, and if we - you and I - are meant to work together for a while, we will be.

I offer different avenues through which you can learn, grow, heal, develop self-awareness and/or (re-)discover your connection to your spiritual self. In the subpages for Consultations and Workshops you can find out more. 

As a teacher I've taught a variety of courses, and facilitated many workshops. For several years I led many different meditation classes, and gave meditation workshops. Some of my other workshops included spiritual development workshops, workshops for women, intimacy- & dream workshops, healing and personal development workshops, and/or Gestalt specific workshops. 

I worked on paranormal fairs as a counsellor, and a spiritual guide. I have played as Astrologer and have done many consultations and readings for clients. Needless to say I've held the space for many individual healing and therapy sessions over time with a variety of interesting individuals in The Netherlands.

Eva Kempinger

"My self awareness and consciousness started at Irize’s meditation classes in Amsterdam. It was totally new to me to “look inside”. Irize taught me Reiki I & II and her workshop “Intuitive healing” made me think in terms of “having trust” instead of “being afraid”.
Irize is a warm and open professional, I’m thankful for all her lessons, laughs, humour and insights. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for her specific area of therapy."

“I have had the privilege of having Irize in my life for over a decade where she guided my personal development, helping me overcome challenges that were creating significant blockages in my life. Irize is kind, calm, intuitive, creative, honest and extremely skilled in bringing a sense of grounding to one’s life during times of chaos. I recommend Irize as a professional who will make a difference in supporting those willing to take the plunge forward in their lives.”

Allan Jaeger
Amsterdam, The Netherlands

"Irize was recommended to me by a friend at a time when I was experiencing a lot of emotional turmoil. I'm quite down to earth & have a healthy scepticism about many alternative therapies, so on the surface, Reiki didn't seem like something for me, but I decided to give it a try. The first session with Irize was unforgettable. She radiated something very calming & soothing. I felt warmth, friendliness, acceptance. It was clear that Irize was a good listener & genuinely interested in what I was telling her. Very soon my pent up emotions started flowing, in a good way, giving me the space to let go, which was quite a relief.
Her help was not only very beneficial, but it led me to practise meditation & develop a spiritual & mental discipline that has greatly improved the quality of my life. So viewed from that perspective, those few Reiki sessions with Irize were life-changing.”

Ton Rullmann
Rotterdam, The Netherlands

"Irize is a strong workshop leader with a high sensitivity both to the individuals in the group and to the group process. She's also a lot of fun to be with and brings a lot of creativity into her work"
