More Labyrinth Walk Experiences

 

I can see how the labyrinth is a metaphor for life... full of twists and turns, but bringing you to where you need to be in the end, centered and focused. The decisions we make as we go through life's many challenges either enhance or limit our success, but ultimately lead us to our destiny. The walking meditation kept me re-focusing on why I was there and how could I gain/learn new insights from the experience, and the stillness of the natural surroundings helped me stay in the present moment." - Anna, Oakland

 

 

 

 

"The information and stories about the myths and how they're used in other cultures made the experience of walking a labyrinth more enjoyable and meaningful.  I was able to think about an important question for me, and use the labyrinth walk to think about it and look for answers.  I did come away with some clarity around that issue.  Thanks Allison!"- Chris, Oakland

 

2 lovely excerpts about the labyrinth experience from Martha Beck:

"follow the patterns at your feet while releasing the patterns in your mind. Walking labyrinths is an ancient custom. ”

 

“ . . .a circuitous, contemplative, enfolded path that teaches us to be comfortable with the circuitous, repetitive, contemplative aspects of our lives.”
