A Labyrinth is a geometric design that you can walk thru & it suppose to be a stress reliever. When you reach the center, it suppose to be a place of meditation & great power. I just wondered if anyone has been thru one of these. I found there's ones they make to run your fingers thru that suppose to relax you as well at www.relax4life.com. I saw all of this in a magazine while at the eye doctor. It also had a website www.labyrinthsociety.org where you can go to find the locations of these. I just found it interesting.

Everyday is like going through a Labryth of decisions and choices and I believe life is much like that and where we will end up , Thank the Lord for The Bible the only Map and guide to find the way through it.

I went through a labryinth with my church's young adult group. We all began the labryinth at our own pace. It was a pretty moving experience. For me, it made me think of how people come in and out of our lives. There were times when I was separated from everyone else (there were 9 of us) and other times when I was side by side with one or more people. I almost cried because it made me remember how close I was with my grandmother, and how alone I felt when she died. I then thought about other friends in my life and how we'd been brought togetherand also separated by time. Other times I've gone, I've meditated on a song or poem as I walked through. My husband and I walked one before our wedding as a way to calm ourselves and focus on what was important. We started at different times and met in the center and rested and talked there for a while. We then walked out together. So they can be pretty cool!
These were both simply designs cut in the grass- so they weren't stressful. It can be hard to let go and simply follow the path. That's something most people deal with daily- simply letting go and letting life lead you is difficult; but is sometimes necessary when you can't change a situation.

Not yet - I tried to go to one that was supposed to be nearby but couldn't find it. I really want to walk one, though.

Is a maze the same? Would that give the idea of being A-mazed

These are pagan things and should be avoided by all Christians. When, in Gen., the Psalms, Isa., and Luke, it says the word 'meditate' the meaning is 'to think upon' it does not mean to empty the mind. When we empty the mind and go that happy place, do you know who it is that is waiting for us? It is satan! Not Jesus, or God, but the deceiver himself.
