Overview

The first time Helen Curry walked a labyrinth she was moved to tears and then "was filled with peace and possibilities." Here, she shares her years of experience with labyrinth meditation and shows how others can find serenity and guidance by adopting this increasingly popular practice. Unlike mazes, which force choices and can create fear and confusion, labyrinths are designed to "embrace" and guide individuals through a calming, meditative walk on a single circular path. The Way of the Labyrinth includes meditations, prayers, questions for enhancing labyrinth walks, guidelines for ceremonies, instructions for finger meditations, and extensive resources. This enchanting, practical, and exquisitely packaged guide helps both novice and experienced readers enjoy the benefits of labyrinth meditation, from problem solving to stress reduction to personal transformation. Includes a foreword by Jean Houston, the renowned author and leader in the field of humanistic psychology, who is considered the grandmother of the current labyrinth revival.

Excerpt from: The Way of the Labyrinth by Helen Curry

Do you know where you're going?

We live in a society that's on the go. Everyone is in a hurry. We're forever trying to go faster. We drive to work with a cell phone wedged under one ear, planning the day ahead while wolfing down a muffin and cup of coffee. We bring computers on vacation so we can keep in touch with the office by e-mail. We have more entertainment choices than anyone has ever had in historymore restaurants, more movie theaters, more bookstores, more stores in general. We have more stuff in our homes than ever before.

And yet, like Alice, most of us don't know where we have been, or where we are going. We have a yearning for a greater sense of a spiritual connection, a greater sense of purpose. We see evidence of this in the newspaper, in public-opinion surveys. We read about it on the bulletin boards in health-food cooperatives and the cyberbulletin board discussions on the Internet. We hear it in casual conversations and pastoral messages, and in popular magazines. You may see it in your own daily travels. Many of us are turning away from a life of excess in pursuit of a more meaningful existence.
