One-on-one or small group introductions to walking the labyrinth include the ancient history dating back more than 4000 years, the health benefits documented by researchers, and facilitation of a walking experience.
A few examples of why you might use a labyrinth:
- Reflection, introspection and gaining perspective on a situation or issue
- Examination of choices and decision making
- Processing experiences
- Prayer – Gratitude practice – Contemplation
- Celebration of achievement
- Generation of creativity
- Examination of dreams
- Support for caregivers, a quiet safe place to decompress
Apart from the spiritual solace often experienced, a labyrinth walk has been shown to reduce anxiety and assist with insomnia and pain management.
“a health practice that integrates body, mind and spirit, an approach to stress management that is complimentary to traditional medicine.“
Jan Klaus
Experience flowing along the ancient labyrinth pathway….. many understand the experience as a metaphor for their journey through life.
Make some quiet time in your day for reflection, and reconnect to the beauty and spirit in Nature. Gift yourself a ‘time out’ to breathe deeply, exhale fully and come to ground.
Generate and explore ideas, spark your creativity, birth a new project, examine insights, flex your imagination muscles.
“The labyrinth invites us to discover the beauty of the whole in all the confusion, imperfection, and painfulness of life. It invites us to set out on the path with serenity and resolve. It invites us to strike out for the centre and to find our way home.”
