Labyrinth

A labyrinth is a form of walking meditation. Every time you walk a particular labyrinth, the experience will be different. Sometimes the walk will trigger insight or solutions, sometimes it will being up memories. Sometimes it is about being very present, sometimes your thoughts will be drawn to your dreams.

Labyrinths predate Christianity, although they were used as part of one's regional religious pilgrimage, in Europe during the Crusades, when people could no longer journey to the Holy Lands.

A Labyrinth Walk has three main phases:

• Walking in - the energy is that of releasing
• At the center - the energy is that of contemplation
• Walking out - the energy is that of receiving

There are many different types of labyrinths. The most common are:

• Eleven Circuit Labyrinth, also known as Chartres style
• Seven Circuit Labyrinth, also known as Cretan or Greek style
• Three Circuit Labyrinth, sometimes known as a wedding labyrinth.
