Paths to inner Peace

A labyrinth is different from a maze, though the two are often confused.
The labyrinth is one of the oldest contemplative and transformational
tools known to humankind, used for centuries for prayer, ritual, initiation,
and personal and spiritual growth, This ancient and powerful tool is
unicursal, offering only one route to the center and back out again:
no blind alleys, dead ends, or tricks, as in a maze. No matter where
you are in the labyrinth's coherent circuits you can always see the
center. once you set you foot upon its path, the labyrinth gently and
faultlessly leads you to the center of both the labyrinth and yourself,
no matter how many twist and turns you negotiate in the process.
What remains for
the labyrinth walker is simply the deeply meditative and symbolic discipline
of setting on foot in front of the other, of honoring the journey itself
and what it has to teach. The mind can be stilled and attention paid
to the body, the wisdom of the heart, and the graces of being rather
than doing.
