How to make every kind of labyrinth

Labyrinths for the Spirit
by Jim Buchanan

For myself the most important thing in life is the making of things. In all creativity the doing is what it is all about. It doesn't matter if it's a doodle or a giant project, what will count in one's own spiritual growth and satisfaction and self expression is putting one foot in front of the other and doing it.

This book shows how to create your own labyrinths for meditation and enlightenment, from the smallest drawing on paper, through cardboard models, to monumental architecture and nature gardens, and even gives the map for a labyrinthine city walk by the pretty canals through my home town of Amsterdam.

Inspiring Creativity

Exploring the Labyrinth, by Melissa Gayle West.
This book has a preface by Dr. Lauren Artress, the author of Walking a Sacred Path.

The labyrinth is a powerful spiritual symbol that speaks to our souls in a way that transcends all creeds and beliefs. It welcomes the seeker, opening its arms wide to anyone searching for authentic spiritual experience.

The author shows how walking the labyrinth helps people to discover their own paths, their lives as a spiritual journey. Ask for inspiration for a new poem, painting, or project, or plan a festive meal. During walking, the attention is turned inward and the mind is stilled. Find out how, in the labyrinth you can creatively solve problems, dream new dreams, personally, vocationally, and spiritually.
