Experiment with Light - Quaker meditation

I'm curious if anyone is familiar with Experiment with Light. It is marketed as Quaker meditation. Website below.

Here is an article from a Quaker website

My brain likes meditation. I practiced vipassana for 15 years or so and during two different periods of life I practiced TM for about five years in total.

Last year I read John in the New Testament per a friend's suggestion and felt connected to Jesus. I come from an atheist Jewish background. The experience of Jesus surprised me, to say the least!

I have since finished the New Testament and restarted it a few months ago, read numerous books on Jesus, prayer, primitive Christianity, mysticism, attended a handful of Quaker meetings online.

I have been doing 10 minutes of centering prayer followed by 10 minutes of Jesus prayer in the morning and 20 minutes of Jesus prayer in the late afternoon. Though both practices feel like meditation, I am searching for a technique and Experiment with Light sounds intriguing. My goal, if that's the correct word, is to feel closer to Jesus and my inner light.

Would love to hear if anyone has practiced or has any experience with it. Thanks!
