WHERE DID THE LABYRINTH COME FROM? Ancient labyrinths have been found
worldwide, in civilizations that had no known access to one another.
WHY WALK THE
LABYRINTH? It helps to reduce anxiety, blood pressure, chronic pain and insomnia
according to the Harvard Medical School's Mind\Body Institute.
HOW DO YOU WALK A
LABYRINTH? There is no "right" or "wrong" way to walk the labyrinth. Walking the
labyrinth is simply placing one foot in front of the other, releasing and letting
go of the details of your life. Begin by walking into the labyrinth to shed emotions.
Pause in the center for prayer and quiet. Return the way you came in, beginning

WHAT IS THE OUTCOME? In the opinion of the weekly walkers, the
labyrinth will give you what you need. Join us at 6:30 p.m. Tuesdays to satisfy
your curiosity.
