There is no one right way to walk the labyrinth,
but the following tips will help you get the most from your experience.

• Walk with an open mind and an open heart, ready to receive whatever the Spirit has for you.

• Do not expect your walk to be like anyone else's. Some people experience powerful emotions and tears; others feel nothing but a sense of peace and well-being at the end.

• Walk at your own pace. If the person ahead of you is moving too slowly, feel free to pass.

• Since the way in and the way out are the same, you may meet others on the path. Step aside to let them pass, and continue your journey.

• If you get lost and forget which way you're going, it's okay. Either you will end up at the entrance or at the center, and you can continue on.

• Stay in the center as long as you wish; then follow the path outward.

• Some people begin and end their walk with a simple ritual--bowing, crossing themselves, touching the ground, etc. Do what feels right for you.

• Feel free to walk, run, skip, dance the labyrinth. Some people even crawl it!

• Walk the labyrinth as many times as you wish. It's a good idea to walk it at least three times before judging whether it has anything to offer you.

• This is sacred space. We hope that you will find what you are seeking here.
