Synopsis

A labyrinth is a circuitous path that people have used as a form of prayer and meditation for thousands of years a path that is being rediscovered as a spiritual tool in our own day. There are now thousands of labyrinths in the world, made of stone,cement, sunflowers, grass or canvas - indoors and outdoors - in Christian, Pagan and even nonreligious settings - and adaptable for use by people of all spiritual backgrounds. This guide explains how the labyrinth is a symbol that transcends traditions and how walking its path brings us together.

Here is your entry to the fascinating history and philosophy of the labyrinth walk, with directions for making a labyrinth of your own or finding one in your area and guidance on ways to use labyrinths creatively for:

Prayer

Stress reduction

Meditation

Commemorating personal or family milestones

Faith rituals

Celebrations of all kinds

Labyrinths a twenty-?rst century method of approaching the sacred are a spiritual practice more ancient than Stonehenge or the ruins of Troy. This practical and inspiring guide will help you to explore them.
