Peace is on the minds of many people throughout the world right now. Last week I unexpectedly found peace in the desert. I discovered a labyrinth! A perfectly formed circular path made of leveled gravel and rocks.
Finding this stunning labyrinth in the middle of a vast area of public camping land was a divine sign for me! It was time to go within.
I do believe peace in the world begins with peace in one’s heart. Mother Teresa says it well.
“Peace begins with a smile.”
To me, this means loving yourself unconditionally so that your light radiates out to others. Even with simple gestures like a smile or a laugh.
Walking a Labyrinth is an ancient spiritual practice used by many cultures and traditions. They are usually circular and contain a winding path to the center. There is plenty of information on the internet if you want to learn more.
I walked one many years ago during a retreat and remember having quite a profound, insightful, and calming experience.
So, I decided it was time to take this spiritual journey once again with an open heart and mind.
It was a beautiful early evening when I began the slow and intentional walk to the center of the sacred formation.
A gentle breeze filled the air and the sky gave way to a miraculous golden hue as the sun began its descent on the horizon.
My journey to the center was filled with many emotions as I released things in my life (in silence) that no longer served me…
Overall, It was a very peaceful experience as I felt a strong divine presence around me comforting and hugging me with every step I took. Upon reaching the center, I felt a huge rush of love come over me and energize my entire being. I was standing in a vortex of love! 💗
Finally, as I turned around and made my journey back on the path, I realized something changed within me. I felt complete gratitude. With soothing energy and a clear intention, I then sent Light out to the entire world. May there be Peace on Earth!
