• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The user-friendly, interfaith guide to making and using labyrinths-for meditation, prayer and celebration-updated, revised and expanded!

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 North America, 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 ¿nding 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.
