It is believed that in the medieval times pilgrims walked in contemplation. Walking a labyrinth is a simple form of meditation in which the physical act of walking helps to calm the mind. A labyrinth is not a maze but a continuous, looping path which winds to the centre of a circle and out again. Walking it can be seen as a process of unwinding, coming to a centre or point of insight, and returning with new knowledge. You can walk it alone, in silence, with a question in mind or without any particular goal, or accompanied by drumming or music or others. The walk helps to quieten the mind, foster insight, clarify goals and helps with meditation. For those of you who can't sit still!
