The Labyrinth Leads to Centre

23/9/2021

 
Labyrinth - Healing For Grieving Hearts - Jacqueline Steudler

Walking a labyrinth always leads you to the centre. The centre of yourself or the centre of your soul. You choose. (smile)

You never can take a wrong turn. That is the difference to a maze where you get tripped up by the wrong path or a wall and you have to backtrack. In a labyrinth you move forward. 

We built the labyrinth in our garden a few years back and every year it seems to become more difficult to keep nature from taking over. We built it when I moved to Nova Scotia from Switzerland five-teen years ago (wow). 

At the beginning of my new life, I felt lost not knowing anyone but my spouse and his family. That wasn’t always enough to keep my creative and community based soul happy. 

Homesickness came and went. I wasn’t as confident as I had been in my familiar space to go out into a world where I didn't speak the language good enough. Trust me my school English wasn’t great for an adult conversation. (smile)

In one of those homesickness moments (smile), I remembered my walks in a labyrinth near where I had lived in Switzerland. Yes, in the middle of the bustling city of Zurich there is a labyrinth a bit hidden in a park. I told my spouse and we decided to build our own.

It’s much smaller than the usual labyrinths but it’s wonderful to walk to the centre early in the morning before starting my day. My way of meditation.

A walk in the labyrinth always helps you to find back to your centre. In a time, when your emotions are taking over your life you will find it to be a wonderful addition to calm and nurture your soul. 

Don't have a backyard to build your own? No worries, I have you covered. 

Even moving your finger inside the path of a labyrinth can help you have the same benefits as walking it. I’ve created a short video that shows you how you can draw your own labyrinth. It’s super simple.
Watch here. 

Let me know if it helped you too to centre and calm your soul. If you have questions or can’t get it to work send me an email, I’m happy to help.
