The Labyrinth is an ancient symbol of balance and wholeness. Walking a labyrinth will quiet the mind - bringing you to a place of calmness where you can elevate consciousness, connect with higher guidance, receive answers and facilitate physical and/or emotional healing. Labyrinths have long been used as meditation and prayer tools. They have been associated with ancient pilgrimage routes and rituals of self-discovery. They have been worn as forms of protection and ornamentation, and they were often carved on doorways to bless a dwelling place. When I mention the Labyrinth most people think of a maze. A labyrinth is not a maze. A maze is like a puzzle to be solved. It has twists, turns, and dead ends, It is a left brain task that requires you to be logical to find the correct path into the maze and out. With a maze many choices must be made, and an active mind is needed to solve the problem of finding the center. A labyrinth has only one path, the way in is the way out. There are no dead ends and the path leads you to the center and out again. A Labyrinth is a right brain task that requires intuition, creativity, and imagination. With a labyrinth there is only one choice to be made, the choice is to enter or not. There is no right or wrong way to walk a labyrinth, You only have to enter and follow the path. However, your walk can encompass a variety of attitudes. It may be joyous or somber, It may be thoughtful or prayerful, You may use it as a walking meditation. "There are so many ways to walk a Labyrinth Each unique as the people who come to walk it" |
