Description
Although labyrinths are familiar to most people, few know that they can be used for meditation and spiritual discovery. "Walking the Labyrinth" introduces you to the theory and history of labyrinths and teaches you how to create your own labyrinths from everyday items, such as paper, string, shells and glue. The second section of the book shows you how you can create labyrinths to mark celebrations such as birthdays, weddings and anniversaries, and the book concludes with suggestions for choosing the site of your labyrinth and special materials you could use.
