Walking the Labyrinth Path
I had the opportunity a couple of weeks ago to attend an event where I walked a labyrinth path. It was an outdoor event on a beautiful summer evening with a slight breeze. I was in the good company of a friend and others who were like-minded.
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I signed up for the program, but I just knew that I had to experience it. I found out labyrinths are used to celebrate rites of passage, for contemplation/meditation, to enhance prayer or encourage personal growth. I learned that there is no right way or wrong way to walk the path…much like life.
Before walking the path you are given guidance on the four stages of the walk: releasing, receiving, reunion and reflection. So as I entered the path I focused on my tolerations and their impact on my life. I then focused on letting them go and acknowledged my power to make change happen. On the way out I reflected on how to make change happen. Finally we had the opportunity to journal about the experience.
Whether it is walking a labyrinth path or taking another type of journey, I encourage you to engage in self-discovery. The insight is amazing. So be amazed at how special you are!
