Labyrinth Meditation

A labyrinth is used for walking mediation. It is a single winding path from the outer edge in a circuitous way to the centre. Labyrinths are used world wide as a way to quiet the mind, calm anxieties, recover balance in like, enhance creativity and encourage meditation, insight, self reflection and stress reduction.
