We've developed a special labyrinth peace meditation for you to use in praying for world peace or for your own inner peace.
To use this meditation, you will need:
 | a blank sheet of paper. (Any size or color will do, but we recommend you use a blank piece of white typing or copy paper for the first time you do
this meditation. After you understand the meditation, you are welcome to get as creative as you wish.) |
| a black pen |
| a green crayon. (You can also use a green felt tipped marker, pastel or pencil.) |
| a quiet space with about 20 minutes of uninterrupted time. |
| (optional: peaceful music, aromatherapy scents that evoke a peaceful feeling in you, or anything else that you feel might add to your experience.) |
Instructions:
- Before beginning, quiet your mind and relax. When you feel centered and listening, Pray this blessing:
May I be at peace.
May my heart remain open,
May I awaken to the light of my own true nature,
May I be healed.
May I be a source of healing for all beings.
- Draw the finger labyrinth following these instructions. (Note: they might take a few minutes to load.) When you are finished drawing your
labyrinth, proceed with step 3 (below). (click here for instructions)
- Starting at the opening to the labyrinth found at the bottom of your drawing, write your wishes and hopes for peace in the path. Your writing can be
as simple as a series of words that evoke your prayer wishes (peace healing happiness trust love), or as complicated as a whole prayer. Let the ideas flow
out of your soul. Remember that thought is prayer and let the healing words come from inside you through your connection with All That Is. Your
writing should curve around, following the curving labyrinth path.
- When you reach the center of the labyrinth, pause to think about what you have just written. Briefly visualize a world filled with loving harmony.
- Take your green crayon and color in the path as you travel back out of the labyrinth. Green is the color of the heart chakra, of healing, of
rebirth. Coloring the path of your labyrinth green will strengthen and affirm your prayers.
- When you reach the opening of the labyrinth once again, pray this blessing:
May there be peace on earth,
May the hearts of all people be open to themselves and to each other,
May all people awaken to the light of their own true nature,
May all creation be blessed and be a blessing to All That Is.
- Give thanks.
