I have a special relationship with the labyrinth. I was first introduced to this amazingly spiritual tool in the summer of 2005 in Colorado Springs, CO. I was immediately captivated by this wonderful process that integrates our physical body with our mind and spirit. It truly opened up the channels of communication between me, my higher power and my inner being - and as I walked the labyrinth for the first time that summer, I could feel my inner wisdom flowing through me.

 

This powerful experience led me to seeking out every labyrinth I could find in my immediate area - and to this day, I use the labyrinth when I feel the need to be one with nature, my higher power, and my inner being.

 

And this weekend, I was granted an opportunity to walk with an incredible group of women from all over the country under the light of a full summer moon. It was pure magic!

Labyrinths have long been used as meditation and prayer tools. They can be found across the world at spiritual retreat centers, in places of worship and in gardens. 

There is no right 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 might be thoughtful or prayerful. You may use it as a walking meditation.
