Connecting to The Natural World Labyrinths

Labyrinths for connecting, harmonizing, and grounding with the Earth

Introduction:

For me, the center, the heart in the center of each of the labyrinths that I create, connects with the heart of The Earth. For me, this heart is a very special and wonderful connection.

The Earth Connection is one of the primary connections that toddlers and very young children have with the Earth. As their senses develop, they gaze with wonder upon what the Earth offers – day and night, cloud patterns, the sounds that surround them. When they begin to crawl, they reach out and taste the Earth – grass, stones, dirt – frequently to the dismay of their parents. Each sense is and increasingly becomes a connector and connection with the Earth.

These labyrinths offer many ways to connect with the Earth, to re-discover our earliest connection with our Earth, and in so doing, to become grounded in the true sense of the word – to be aware of the Earth’s presence, to know that we are standing upon her, and to feel her inherent support.

Developing Harmony: Finding Our Place in The Natural World Labyrinth

Name: Developing Harmony: Finding One’s Place in the Natural World Labyrinth

Intention: For many of us, the world of buildings and cars, of roads and bridges, of air conditioning and central heating results in a disconnection from the rhythms of the natural world. When this occurs, many begin to forget that we live upon the Earth and that we and all we do are part of this larger rhythm. This labyrinth is a tool to regain this sense of place and of being part of the Earth and the harmony that comes with this concern.

Four Cardinal Directions – Connecting With The Energies of The Earth Labyrinth

Name: The Four Cardinal Directions: Resting On The Foundation (Variation #2 with four semi-circles)

Intention: The original Four Cardinal Directions is about connecting with the traditional four elements – earth, wind, fire, and water. When we connect with these, we re-establish a fundamental connection with the natural world. The Four Cardinal Directions – Resting On The Foundation introduces another layer of energy – the movement of energy within the Earth itself. When we connect through the Four Elements and then to the Moving Energy of the Earth, we enable ourselves to draw upon the infinite resources of the Earth as we move on and through our spiritual journey.

HeartStone Labyrinth

Name: The HeartStone Labyrinth

Intention: Being grounded means to be consciously connected to the Earth and her Energy. When this occurs, we feel more present, more in harmony, and more solid. We feel as if we have the energy we need to recognize choices and to make decisions in our daily lives. The HeartStone Labyrinth helps us to renew and re-energize our connections with the Earth, and as we do this, to feel her support as we move through our lives.

Special note: The HeartStone Labyrinth was first painted on the industrial carpet that was on the floor of my original studio in Guilford, Connecticut and later made into a 16′ canvas labyrinth that I could take to shows and workshops.

In Safety, We Intuit Our World: We Are Anchored in The Earth Labyrinth

Name: In Safety , We Intuit and Know the World; We Are Anchored in the Earth Labyrinth

Intention: To assist us in feeling safe, so that we feel comfortable with our inner knowing and are able to bring this knowing into our daily life.

Special note: This labyrinth is made up of 3 interwoven labyrinths that are run separately depending upon what the user is working upon. Each labyrinth’s center is indicated by the heart in its center. There is a fourth way to run the three labyrinths serially that is explained in the handbook.

Jewel and The Journey: Self-Discovery and Connection with The Earth Labyrinth

Name: The Jewel and The Journey: Self-Discovery and Connection with The Earth Labyrinth

Intention: The Earth is the Jewel, and we all are on a journey upon it. When we all discover or re-discover this connection with the earth, our journey of self-discovery is aided by her joy in our connection. This labyrinth helps both with the discovery of this connection and enabling us to feel the support of this connection as we pursue our path to self-discovery.

Special note: Originally, an outdoor labyrinth built on a small plateau overlooking a state park. As I worked laying out the pattern, I was entertained by hawks hovering at eye level as I put down the rope.

Seeds of Sustainability Labyrinth

Name: Seeds of Sustainability Labyrinth

Intention: In order for us and the many species that live on the Earth with us to survive, we must begin to plant the seeds of actions, of feelings, of awareness, and of community that is inclusive of all that exists on and in our world and send these seeds forth to germinate and spread, until all act from the desire to maintain, sustain, and renew our world.
