One of many ways to seek God, and to find inner peace, has been through walking in meditation on the labyrinth. Labyrinths have been known for over 4,000 years, and can be found around the world. It has been an ancient symbol for the Holy in all of Creation. We do not know the origin of its design, which is a large complex spiral circle.
Entering the labyrinth, the path spirals clockwise to the center, while in prayer or meditation we can carry questions, concerns, or simply listen intently to nature sounds of bird, wind, branches. Walking out of the center, the path winds counterclockwise and ushers us back into the world, perhaps a little more strengthened in purpose, or in peace.
There are many, many ways to walk the labyrinth. Come back here for more tips.
