Handcrafted Solid Wood Handheld Meditative Cretan Labyrinth, with Stylus, 3 1/2 inch dia

This Labyrinth will fit in the palm of your hand with ease and can be kept with you at all times. It is only 1/2" thick wood and can be in your back pocket if you choose. The style is placed in a hole at the top of the labyrinth so you will not lose it.

A labyrinth is a pattern of pathways that weave in a circle around a central point. You walk through the pathways to get to the center.

Labyrinths are about the journey, at least as much as the destination. They can be calming, as they slow you down while you wind your way through the path.

A labyrinth is not a maze. There is only one way in and one way out, so you don't need to think about where you're going.

They've got ancient roots. They’re found on Greek pottery, on Spanish petroglyphs or rock carvings, and, in walkable form, on the floors of medieval cathedrals in Europe.

How to use a Labyrinth:

Before entering; Consider a contemplative question, prayer, or favorite image to hold in your mind before you step into the labyrinth and begin walking.

While walking; Just follow the path. As you concentrate on your steps, everything else can melt away.

Upon reaching the center; Sit or stand with your eyes closed or looking downward. Take three deep breaths, and in silence ask yourself: What am I feeling right now?

Walking back; Bring to mind again the contemplative question, prayer, or favorite image you began with.

After walking; Try journaling about your labyrinth experience. What did you discover? What changed from the time you entered to the time you exited the labyrinth?
