Colour
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.
Rainbow in our bodies?
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.
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.
As the image below indicates the body's rainbow would be:
red as the vibration of the 1st, base or root chakra;
orange of the 2nd, sacral chakra;
yellow of the 3rd, the solar plexus chakra;
green of the 4th, the heart chakra;
blue of the 5th, the throat chakra;
indigo of the 6th, the third eye chakra;
violet of the 7th and crown chakra.
Indigo's vibrational meaning
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.
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. 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 fully present - 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, 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 or see life from this place, you may be an intuitive.
Though we all have the potentials of all of the chakra's vibrations within us, it took me close to sixty years to embrace, integrate and accept myself as someone who is also gifted with intuition. I started to call myself an Intuitive as a result of this discovery. From this place I do what I do at Indigo Light.
What I do at Indigo Light
I work as an Intuitive.
In everyday language I am a therapist, a counsellor, a healer, and a teacher, and one of my specializations is working with HSP's (Highly Sensitive Persons) - something that developed when and while I had my practice at an institute for HSP's called Instituut EszenzZ.
I always welcome new clients, and what you know about intuition, the gifts of our senses or about HSP's will not make a difference to how I work with you. I trust my intuition, and if we are meant to work together for a while, we will.
I offer different avenues through which you can learn, grow, heal, develop self-awareness and/or (re-)discover your connection to your own spiritual self.
As a teacher I 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 Gestalt specific workshops.
I worked on paranormal fairs as a counsellor, and a spiritual guide, and I have done many consultations and readings for clients. I have also held the space for individual healing and therapy sessions over time, and I feel honoured to have met a variety of interesting individuals through my practice in The Netherlands. Some of their feedback can be read further below.

Michele Thompson wrote a blog about the "8 clair senses".
I loved what tea & rosemary wrote about Clairsentience.
The image below came from Heal to Heel, an Australian website that has changed name since I found this image there. I like the simplicity because it summarizes the "clair" spiritual gifts.

"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."

"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
