Impressions of the Labyrinth


The Impressions Book is made available for walkers to enter their comments each time the Labyrinth is set out. These are some of their words:

“First time - take more time on the turns, feel the communal power, not a solitary journey. Second time - recognize the center, renew the energy there, breathing deeply. Third time - the labyrinth itself is alive and moving: tread gently on it feel the life movement through the bottom of my feet.”
“Selecting my mantra -- My mantra selecting me -- Descending below my mantra to my mantra’s mantra, the mother maker and back again.”
“Incredible, intense peace grew inside my soul. More intense than I’ve ever experienced through meditation in the past. I also felt a deep sense of connection with the other walkers, through all were strangers when we began. I was given a gift of courage to overcome a lifetime of anger that has blocked my path.”
“Leaves blown about in moving eddies, moved by some quiet cyclone. Touching my face. Healing me.”
“This was a very profound experience. I had thought that walking the path with so many others would distract from the experience, but it actually enhanced it. The path, like our path through life, is intricate and with all of its twists and turns, it is hard to tell just where your are going and how far you have come, but I have found that it is the walk itself that matters. The path is winding and intricate but you cannot get lost. Although you are making the journey, you are not alone. Thank you for making this labyrinth and letting me learn more about my path. I felt the sacredness of the place as soon as I began walking.”
