Labyrinth
Circle of Prayer Labyrinth What is a labyrinth? It is a tool to help people enhance their spiritual journey. Unlike a maze which has dead ends and decisions of whether to go right or left, a labyrinth has one path you walk to reach the center and then the same path is followed out. Why walk the labyrinth? The labyrinth is a place where you can go to spend time in prayer and conversation with God. Amazingly, while our bodies are busy walking, our minds are able to slow down. As we slow down and walk with God on the labyrinth, anything can happen. We may gain insight to a problem bothering us, we might feel comfort as we grieve a loss, we may be able to "see" where our spiritual journey needs to go and grow. it can be a vehicle to help unlock our soul's needs and God's plan for us. How do you walk a labyrinth? There is no wrong way to walk a labyrinth; but here are a few guidelines to help you get started. As you walk towards the center on the path, release your cares and worries of the world. When you are in the center, allow God into your mind, heart, and soul. As you walk the path back out of the labyrinth, reflect on how you will take the insights you gained back into your life. What you see, feel, hear, and experience on the labyrinth is important. Ask yourself how these things might be metaphors of your spiritual journey.
