Walking The Labyrinth




Welcome to the Labyrinth.  The Labyrinth is an ancient prayer path the can be found in many religious traditions around the world.  It is used as a tool to guide the traveler through healing, clarity, and insight into the spiritual journey.  


ABOUT THE LABYRINTH: Its many turns reflect the journey of life, which involves change and transition, rites of passage, cycles of nature.  This particular 7 circuit design connects with the 7 chakras. Different from a maze - which has dead ends and false passages - the labyrinth has a single path that leads to the center.  It shows us that no time of effort is ever wasted; if we stay on the path, every step, however circuitous, takes us closer to our goal.

As you prepare to enter the path remember these few things:

1 - Breathe deeply - take your time - allow yourself to go at your own pace - you may "pass" or step around others

2 – ENTER: relax and let go of all the things that clutter your thoughts.  Release the things that block your path of wholeness, focusing on the Sacred within you.

3 – CENTER: Symbols entering into the presence of the Sacred; a space dedicated to receiving and listening to the Spirit through quiet meditation and prayer.


4 – RETURN:  Walk the same way that brought you to the center, anticipating the new places you will journey empowered by a deeper connection with the Sacred.
