ALUNA TEMPLE MAGAZINE EDITION No5 'ALCHEMY' | Page 11

Because the walk has duration and a familiar form, it invites our psyche
to relax into the knowledge that we can return again and again.

Because it is
beautiful and
round, has six
symbolic petals,
and has history,
the labyrinth
gives our busy
minds something
to chew on.

There are many ways to use the sacred geometry of the labyrinth. Walking a
stone labyrinth in a sacred space like Chartres Cathedral or its replica at Grace
Cathedral in San Francisco is one.
Another is draw one in the sand at the beach or even to use your finger to
trace the path on a piece of paper.

In each case we enter into the alchemical practice of letting go,
purifying, receiving the divine inspiration and beholding the
transformation of thought, feeling or belief.

I know that in my life with its
pilgrimages and wanderings, I am
always pleased to use the twists
and turns of the path to distill the
essence of my experience, to
balance the dark and light, to add
the
magical
ingredient
of
awareness to find at the center, my
next horizon, my next assignment.
