Adullam: A place where we turn back to God

A Trinity Labyrinth, I designed a number of years ago, with my wife help. I have not seen this type anywhere else.

This was a Labyrinth tour we as a team of student lead at different locations in England. We created the Labyrinth design with Duck tape and on a large tarp.

The Labyrinth has been a contemplative practice for thousands of years.

More information can be found at the following sites which I found very helpful.

There are three stages of the walk:

Purgation (Releasing) ~ A releasing, a letting go of the details of your life. This is the act of shedding thoughts and distractions. A time to open the heart and quiet the mind.
Illumination (Receiving) ~ When you reach the center, stay there as long as you like. It is a place of meditation and prayer. Receive what is there for you to receive.
Union (Returning) ~ As you leave, following the same path out of the center as you came in, you enter the third stage, which is joining God, your Higher Power, or the healing forces at work in the world. Each time you walk the labyrinth you become more empowered to find and do the work you feel your soul reaching for.

Guidelines for the walk:

Quiet your mind and become aware of your breath. Allow yourself to find the pace your body wants to go. The path is two ways. Those going in will meet those coming out. You may "pass" people or let others step around you. Do what feels natural.

If you can't walk the labyrinth in person, I hope you enjoy exploring the articles and multimedia features below.
