Experience Light

The wonderful line from Leonard Cohen’s track ‘there’s a crack in everything and that’s how the light gets in’ has often bought comfort to me. It sits well within the world of psychotherapy as it speaks to hope when things feel dark.

It’s been a busy time for many of us getting back into the rhythm after the holidays, which now seem far away and yet it’s been a mere few weeks. It’s hard to hold onto the feeling of lightness symbolic of when the sky shines blue and the sun radiates its warmth. The often cloudy days which create a dull light can add to the feeling one is wearing a cloak of sadness that feels weighty and hard to shake off. Time can feel condensed and intense because of it and altogether it can be a miserable time of year.

So it’s with relief that we are now more than half way towards Spring Equinox, with a noticeable lightening of the late afternoon hour nudging each day towards extending our sense of time and the opening up of possibilities.

Here at Experience Light there is movement.

Yoga classes have begun again and there is the exciting introduction of classes in breathwork too. Using a range of movements and focusing on the breath, it creates a feeling of peacefulness and harmony within which really helps to feel as if your capacity to create and manage is a reality and not merely a wishful thought. See the recent article at bbc news how breathwork can help towards your healing https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2q5kew93jo .

Having attended both classes myself,  the breathwork acts as a wonderful pre cursor to the kundalini yoga that takes place after. I definitely feel energised afterwards and the small groups make it easier to feel relaxed.

We will also be running workshops after Easter. These will be a mixture of half day or one day sessions held mainly on a Saturday, with a varied range of topics. These will be advertised on our website soon.

Massages are coming back after Easter and will be bookable on the website. The Indian head massage where you can give yourself up to the sensations of relaxing and energising techniques applied to your upper shoulders, neck, head and face whilst sat, continues to be popular.

The team at Experience Light want to aid in the lifting off of the greyness and inviting Light into your life.
