CHAPTER SEVEN

Caring for Your Labyrinth

Taking care of the labyrinth you have created is a meditative discipline, much like the careful raking of sand in a Zen temple garden. You may also use the time for creative problem solving or practicing gratitude for the gifts the labyrinth has given you.

One suggestion is to create and care for an altar at the entrance or the center of the labyrinth. Labyrinths invite the conscious placement of altars, or sacred focal points—whether it’s a vase of flowers or something more elaborate—by their very design. The center of the labyrinth recalls the heart of a cathedral or Buddhist temple, symbolizing the center of the universe itself. The entrance to the labyrinth represents the threshold between the world of everyday concerns and the world of soul and spirit. Both of the spaces—center and entrance—are powerful places for altars.
