Walking A Sacred Path: Rediscovering the Labyrinth as a Spiritual Practice

Description

'Walking the Labyrinth' has re-emerged today as a metaphor for the spiritual journey and a powerful tool for transformation. This walking meditation is an archetype, a mystical ritual found in all religious traditions. It quiets the mind and opens the soul. Walking a Sacred Path explores the historical origins of this divine imprint and shares the discoveries of modern day seekers. It shows readers the potential of the labyrinth to inspire change and renewal, and serves as a guide to help us develop the higher level of human awareness readers need to survive in this century.

Lauren Artress is also the author of The Sacred Path Companion (also available from Turnaround). She is the founder and president of Veriditas, the voice of the Labyrinth Movement. A licensed therapist in California, she lives in San Francisco.

"For modern seekers, winding toward the centre [of the Labyrinth] and out again is an aid to meditation and prayer." - Glamour Magazine "As you follow a winding path for 20 minutes or so, you might cry tears of joy or grief, solve the riddle of a messed-up family or work life, feel better about an illness or gain spiritual insight." - Los Angeles Times "The book is an intriguing mixture of New Age spirituality and traditional Christian mysticism that will appeal to a broad range of spiritual seekers, mystics, and students of mysticism" - Booklist"
