The process entails opening and getting in touch with what pattern and energy is there in that location that wants to be born.  If you allow what is already there to be built then when it is walked upon it will be an even stronger and more beautiful experience because it is in right alignment with the energy of that specific place on earth.  When a labyrinth is approached/built in this way it has the effect of bringing a connection point between the person and the Earth helping us to get into alignment with the energies of the Earth in a beautiful way.

The energy of a labyrinth can be used by people walking it to give their worries, sorrows, fears or pain over to the Earth with the labyrinth being the doorway for it to be transformed/neutralized or “composted.”  It can also provide a deeply peaceful space that allows us to practice walking meditation, mindfulness or perhaps even brings insights and creativity.  A labyrinth built in this way is an opening to an ancient connection that allows our own hopes, dreams, and prayers to come alive.  The energy of each labyrinth is different and has special meaning to each person who experiences it.
