Take a moment to get ready for the journey. Ask your higher power for wisdom and courage to follow the path to the center. Slowly breathe in and out and explore the sensation of the power of life flowing into you, nourishing you and empowering you. As the breath leaves your body let it carry with it all that burdens and troubles you.

Enter the labyrinth and explore the pace that feels right to you. Try to calm your mind as you walk. Be the step you take. Be the breath that feeds you and that cleanses you. Try to release the cacophony of noise that vies for your attention and walk toward the calm of the center. Oftentimes, your mind doesn’t quiet at the first try. If you get distracted, release that thought and focus on your next steps and breaths again. Use the steps you take, the rhythm of your walk, as guide toward calmness.

You have arrived at the center. Stay as long or as short as feels right. Listen to the world around you and the voices that come from deep within. Maybe a whisper brings words of wisdom to you. Maybe the wisdom lies in questions, rather than answers.

Explore the pace that feels right as you journey back into the world. Carry the experience of the center with you. Breathe in and let the experience connect you to the source of life. Exhale and as the air leaves your body let it carry with it all that separates you from the source of life.

Be reborn as you take the last step and finish this journey. You have emerged from the labyrinth. Take a moment to recount the experience of walking toward the center and back. You have emerged changed. Explore the changes as you embrace daily life again.
