Lotus Labyrinth

Welcome to Lotus Labyrinth.  The labyrinth is here for you.  It is a tool, just as the yoga studio is a tool for your use.  What you do with it is up to you. 

The following is a brief overview of labyrinths.  A good resource if you want more information is : www.labyrinthsociety.org . 

 A labyrinth is an ancient symbol that relates to wholeness.  It combines the imagery of the circle and the spiral into a meandering but purposeful path.  The labyrinth represents a journey to our own center and back again out into the world.  Labyrinths have long been used as meditation and prayer tools.

A labyrinth is an archetype with which we can have a direct experience.  We can walk it.  It is a metaphor for life’s journey.  It is a symbol that creates a sacred space and place and takes us out of our ego to “That Which is Within.”

A labyrinth is not a maze. A maze is a puzzle to be solved.  A labyrinth has only one path.  It is unicursal.  The way in is the way out.  There are no blind alleys.  The path leads you on a circuitous path to the center and out again.

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 there is only one choice to be made.  The choice is whether to enter or not. 

Each walk of a labyrinth is different.  It can be a spiritual experience of deep and profound meaning or it can be a pleasant walk is a quiet setting. 

Again, we made this labyrinth for your use and enjoyment.  May you do so with a peaceful heart and  gentle spirit. 

Namaste`
