Three stages of the walk

There are generally three stages to the labyrinth walk: 

• The intention one brings to this time of prayer.
• The meeting, or receiving at the center of the labyrinth.
• Taking back into the world that which was received.

 

Suggestions for the walk

Quiet your mind and become aware of your breath. Allow yourself to find the pace your body wants to go.

Since the path is two-way, those going in will meet those coming out. You may “pass” people or let others step around you.

Do what feels natural. Walk the labyrinth with an open mind and an open heart.
