🔮 Finding My Path to Labyrinths
I remember the first time a labyrinth's mystique captivated me. It was more than just a maze-like path; it was a journey inwards
Ever since my first Labyrinth journey, I have sought them out wherever I go! The designs, the feeling of inner peace, of deepening within, the nature all around, inspired me to design and build my own in woodland at the end of my garden
Teaching with the wonderful Thames Valley Dowsers this summer, at the Global Retreat Centre in Oxfordshire, I shared this fascination. The labyrinth, more than a structure, became a shared story
🌐 The Art of Dowsing: More Than a Technique
Dowsing isn't just about finding water; it's about connecting deeply with the Earth's energies
I use dowsing to find the perfect spot for each labyrinth, creating a sacred space that resonates with its environment
Below is a diagram of what happens with the earth energies, when you work in harmony in selecting the location. Water is drawn to the centre, where a vortex of energy rises up. Another energy vortex is drawn to this from above. Guess what magic can happen when you stand in the centre of the labyrinth (called the goal) with this amazing energy is running through you and collaborating with your inner intention!
🌀 Designing with Heart and Soul
Choosing a design is a personal, intuitive process. It's like the labyrinth speaks to you, revealing its perfect pattern
From Classical to Modern styles, each design has its own energy and story to tell
Recently I have been designing and painting table-top labyrinths that you can use to journey inwards using just your index finger, here’s an example below, as well a a link to a video describing how to create one from scratch:
👥 Building as a Community Experience
There's something magical about building a labyrinth together. It's a dance of collaboration and individual expression
Singing, music making and sharing of food is such a wonderful support for the build itself
Using found object in nature and working what is already in place is my absolute favourite way to build a labyrinth - mowing the lawn or arranging leaves are a couple of simple and beautiful ways to create one!
🚶♀️ A Meditative Walk: More Than Just Steps
Each step in a labyrinth is a step into self-awareness. It's a physical meditation, a journey to the centre of oneself and back
I encourage everyone to walk a labyrinth with an open heart and mind, ready for the insights that unfold
At the workshop with Thames Valley Dowsers, we set an intention for the journey inward and supported it vibrationally with Sound Essences. It was amazing!
🌱 Inviting You on This Path
