Walking the path of a labyrinth is like making a pilgrimage. It is a contemplative practice, a "listening for God" form of prayer. Traditionally, movement toward the center is a time of "letting go" so that, upon reaching the center, one enters with empty hands, ready to receive what God has for you. Movement away from the center is a time of empowerment and joy. As you leave the labyrinth you may choose to receive a blessing and/or anointing. That said, the labyrinth can be whatever you need it to be.
