Walk The Inner Journey

An Experience Of Enlightenment And Healing

 

Each of us journeys through this experience we call life, often stumbling and even falling from time to time, unsure of the path we should take. Questioning our every move. The Labyrinth journey guides this human journey from a left brain experience to a right brain adventure.

Rev. Stephen De Matteis, PhD

 

A labyrinth is an ancient experience of wholeness,

 

A blending of the mind, body and soul. It brings together the sacred geometry of the circle and the spiral into a purposeful path. The Labyrinth offers us a safe and non-threatening journey to our own personal and spiritual center and back again into the world.

 

 Labyrinths have long been tools for meditation and prayer. A labyrinth is a simple yet sacred tool with which we can have a "direct" or conscious experience. We can walk it. The labyrinth becomes a metaphor for our own life journey. It is a tool that helps us to create a visible sacred space. A conscious place and takes us out of our human ego and guide us to that inner place of listening and peace. A place of enlightenment and healing.

 

A labyrinths is not a maze, they have often been confused. When most people think of a labyrinth they in vision a maze. A maze however, is like a puzzle, something to be solved. It has twists, turns, and blind paths. It offers left brain challenges that requires logical, sequential, analytical activity to find the correct path into the maze and out.

A labyrinth has but one path. It offers it's journeyers but one destiny. The way in, is the way out. There are no blind paths. The labyrinth path leads you on a safe and introspective path to the center and out again. A labyrinth is a right brain experience. It evokes intuition, creativity, and imagery. It opens the chakras and pulls from our very root the inner longings of our personal spiritual and human calling. With a maze many choices must be made and an active mind is needed to solve the problem of finding the center. With a labyrinth, as with the inner longings of our spiritual life, there is only one true choice to be made. The choice is to enter into the experience or not. A more passive, receptive mindset is needed. The choice is whether or not to walk a spiritual path. At its most basic level the labyrinth is a metaphor for the journey to the center of your deepest self and back out into the world with a broadened understanding of who you are.

 

 

 

Come, Walk The Inner Journey !

 

 

There is no right way to walk a labyrinth.

You have only but to enter the experience and follow the call, the flow of the path. At different time in your life's journey, your walk will present you with a wide variety of emotional and physical attitudes. It may be joyous or somber. It might be thoughtful or prayerful. You may use it as a walking meditation. Whatever your experience, be open to its message and its healing energy.

When you walk a labyrinth you may consciously choose your attitude, but don't be surprised if on more than one occasion an attitude chooses you.  From time to time choose a different attitude, vary your attitudes.. Make it  serious, prayerful, or playful, maybe all three at once. Play music, sing, chant or tone. Pray out loud. Verbalize a mantras.  Walk alone, with a loved one, a child or  with a crowd.  Walk with the visualization of an absent friend or loved one. This is great for remote healing.  Notice the environment. Listen to the sounds. Most of all pay attention to your experience.

Some general guidelines for walking a labyrinth are:

1. Focus: Pause and wait at the entrance. Become quiet and centered. Give acknowledgment of a higher power and of your presence on Holy Ground or Sacred Space,  through a bow, nod, or other gesture and then enter.

2. ExperienceWalk with reverence and respect, walk purposefully. Experience the process from within, you must not be a spectator on your own journey.. When you reach the center, allow it to welcome you , abide there for a time, remain focused and listen with all of your senses. Begin the journey out when it seems appropriate. Be attentive on the journey out.

3. Exit: Turn and face the entrance. Give an acknowledgement, a thanksgiving of this experience, such as a bow, or even an  "Amen."

4. Reflect: After walking the labyrinth reflect back on your experience. Use journaling or drawing to Interpret your experience. Remain open to a heightened spiritual connection.

5. Walk as often as you are directed to.
