Walking the Labyrinth

Walking the labyrinth is a path for prayer and meditation.  It is an ancient spiritual practice that is considered sacred in many faith traditions, seen by many as a metaphor of the pilgrimage of our spiritual lives.  There is only one path that leads faithfully to the center and then back out again.  There is no right way or preferred method in walking a labyrinth except that which feels right to you.  Many who walk, however, experience three parts to the whole experience.  The walk towards the center can be a “letting go” unto the experience of being present in the moment.  The arrival at the center can be a “letting in” of Divine guidance.  The walk out can be a “letting out” that takes us back into our lives with a stronger connection to Spirit in our daily lives. 

Before You Begin:

• Please remove your shoes to protect the labyrinth and as a gesture of this sacred activity.
• You may find it helpful to prepare by sitting or standing quietly for a few moments, taking a deep breath, and letting go of the cares of your day while connecting with your inner self.
• You may choose to carry a thought, a hope, a gratitude, or a question in your mind during your walk.  When you reach the center see what insights await you.
• Enjoy the opportunity of traveling without any particular purpose.  “Let Go” and be carefree.
• Find a pace your body wants to go and be courteous and respectful of those whose path you may cross.
• Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences in our Guest Book.
