The Complete Guide to Labyrinths: Tapping the Sacred Spiral for Power, Protection, Transformation, and Healing
The Book explores the many ways that labyrinths have been used for personal transformation, protection, healing, and enlightenment throughout history. It also provides instructions for creating and using labyrinths in your own life.
What you can expect in this book:
The book begins with an overview of the history of labyrinths, from their earliest origins in ancient Crete to their modern use as tools for personal growth. Eason then discusses the different types of labyrinths, including the classical seven-circuit labyrinth, the Chartres labyrinth, and the hedge maze. She also explores the symbolism of labyrinths, which is often associated with the journey of the soul.
The second half of the book focuses on the practical use of labyrinths. Eason provides instructions for creating labyrinths in your own home or garden, as well as for using labyrinths for meditation, healing, and spiritual growth. She also includes a number of rituals and exercises that you can use to connect with the power of the labyrinth.
What this book does best: I really enjoyed Chapter 7 where the book discusses how to use labyrinths for meditation. There are a number of exercises that you can use to connect with the power of the labyrinth and to use it as a tool for meditation.
