"Whoever you are, walking the labyrinth has something to offer. If a project is challenging you, walking can get your creative juices flowing. When struggling with grief or anger, or a physical challenge or illness, walking the labyrinth can point the way to healing and wholeness. If you're looking for a way to meditate or pray that engages your body as well as your soul, the labyrinth provides such a path. When you just want reflective time away from a busy life, the labyrinth can offer you time out. The labyrinth holds up a mirror, reflecting back to us not only the light of our finest selves, but also whatever restrains us from shining forth."
—From the Introduction
Join Melissa Gayle West and thousands of others who are turning to labyrinth walking for quiet meditation and spiritual healing. Exploring the Labyrinth blends the timeless wisdom and meaning derived from labyrinths along with practical advice, divided among three sections:

Learn to construct a temporary or permanent, indoor or outdoor labyrinth from rocks, rope, canvas, and a wide variety of other materials.

      Labyrinths, a growing phenomenon in the New Age world, are used for emotional and spiritual healing. In this book, psychotherapist West explains how she has found labyrinths constructive in her life. But while she tells us how to construct our own labyrinths, she neither gives the uninitiated a clue as to how to find out if we live near one nor provides a general list of where they are located. She includes a very brief, glossed-over history of labyrinths and a too-short annotated bibliography that fails to include many references made in the text. She does offer detailed instructions on how to construct our own labyrinths--from tabletop-sized ones suitable for finger-tracing to full-fledged football field-sized ones good for contemplative walking--and a helpful appendix of organizations, products, and web pages. But on the whole, this book leaves the reader with more questions than answers. Not recommended.--Marija Sanderling, Rochester P.L., NH
