A lot of amazing, new things have been happening here lately. Last weekend, we enjoyed the great honor of hosting a meditation retreat. Our schedule included yoga, meditation, breathing exercises, music, laughter and much more. Along with 14 other people, we practiced being in the present moment. We all received many lasting life lessons.
One of the best parts of the retreat was walking the meditation labyrinth. We mowed this 7-circuit wonder into our lawn last month. Fortunately, my dad the mathematician showed up and coached the entire project. If he hadn't been here, I would still be standing out in the yard scratching my head and turning the instructions this way and that.
There will be more retreat posts coming up, too much for one entry. I am floored by how lucky I am to be part of these wonderful days.
Here is some good info on labyrinths, courtesy“The Sacred Labyrinth” website: http://www.angelfire.com/tn/SacredLabyrinth/:
Unlike a maze, a labyrinth has only one path leading to the center. There are no dead ends. There is one way in, one way out: you cannot get lost.
"Each person's walk is a personal experience. How one walks and what one receives differs with each walk. Some people use the walk for clearing the mind and centering. Others enter with a question or concern. What each person receives can be integrated on the walk out. Your walk can be a healing and sometimes very profound experience or it can be just a pleasant walk. Each time is different."
It is a perfect space for people of all beliefs to come together in a common spiritual experience.
