What Is A Prayer Labyrinth?
A labyrinth is a path which leads to the center of an intricate design and back out again. Unlike a maze, a labyrinth’s route has only a single path.
A prayer labyrinth is used to facilitate prayer, meditation, spiritual transformation, and/or global unity. Labyrinths have been used by a wide variety of cultures for at least 3,500 years.
A labyrinth can symbolize many things such as the hard and winding road to God or a mystical ascension to salvation and enlightenment. Some view it as a “sacred path” or a “sacred gateway.”
Walking a prayer labyrinth involves 3 stages:
- Release – As you walk toward the center of the labyrinth you are invited to shed the cares and distractions of life and open your heart and mind.
- Receive – At the center of the labyrinth; this is the time to receive what is there for you through prayer and meditation.
- Return – This is a stage of illumination as you exit the labyrinth and involves joining God, your Higher Power, or the healing forces at work in the world.
