Labyrinths, Who Knew?

Walking a labyrinth is said to be a healing experience. For thousands of years, people all over the world have been finding peace and creative energy by walking the circular paths. According to theory, when one walks in a circle, our minds slow down and we naturally meditate.
After a little research (www.labyrinthsociety.org >labyrinth locator,) I was surprised to find so many labyrinths in the Rochester area. Most are open to the public and free of charge. We walked the labyrinth at Tinker Nature Park in Henrietta and found it to have a very calming effect.
Break away from your busy, stressful schedules and take a relaxing slow walk on a labyrinth. Breathe deep, unwind, let your creative side take over and see where it leads you.

  1. I pass that labyrinth several times per week and have yet to take the time to walk it. Maybe I'll make that a goal for the month of April. I'll make that walk before the end of April.
