This is a very nice post @velimir.
Your previous post on 'Riding steep downhill curves', it was really related to this because it involved you circling and riding around curves.
I really love labyrinths made of stones and turf and love it more because it is not tricky like the maze. A maze doesnt let you concentrate because in a maze, all you are thinking about is how to find your way out.
I Trust you sat quietly to reflect before walking the labyrinth. Some people come with questions, others just to slow down and take time out from a busy life, which i know you are very busy. Some come to find strength to take the next step just like you also said. Riding your bike around it might give it some more strength and rejuvenation:)
What i love most about it is that the journey is a personal one—everyone gets something different out of the winding walk.
It’s unpredictable. I can’t tell you what a specific individual should expect to experience, i dont know if any other person was around you, if you asked the person what the experience was all about, you’ll get different answers and i have to admit that they aren’t for everyone. Some people will walk through them and feel nothing. My sisters did the walk, but felt nothing. Only deep thinkers like you @velimir gets the most out of such walk. The way you look at something and get a message from it and even write a whole post about it is admirable. Your level of concentration is really unbelievable, thats why i always look forward to sections of your posts where you say "look closely you will..."
But that’s all part of the mystery of the labyrinth. :)
I am happy you appreciate this place.
I have a recommendation, you should try out finger labyrinth, especially when you want to meditate a bit. Its similar to a full sized labyrinth above except it is on a much smaller and more portable scale. The user traces the path to the centre using your finger rather than with their feet. Let me give you a quick walk through it, although it could be childish, but it sure works well:)
Take deep breaths to begin to relax and focus on the entrance to the labyrinth.
Place your pointer finger from your non-dominate hand on the entrance of the labyrinth. If you find this too awkward at first, use your dominate hand. However, over time, keep trying your non-dominate hand. This helps keep the mind focused on the meditation due to the challenge it presents.
Slowly trace the pattern of the labyrinth with your finger allowing your mind to clear from extra thought and focus solely on following the path of the labyrinth.
“Walk” to the centre of the labyrinth and rest momentarily, taking deep breaths observing how you are feeling.
Retrace your path out of the labyrinth.
Sit back, breathe deeply and relax. Observe how you are feeling again.
Thanks for the post, it was really engaging. I enjoyed it.
