Amazing Benefits of Walking In A Labyrinth Labyrinths have always been ancient symbols for healing and a path to renewal; and for good reasons. Research conducted by Harvard Medical School’s Mind/Body Institute has found that focused walking meditation in a labyrinth effectively reduces anxiety. If its done on a regular basis, can reduce insomnia, chronic pain, blood pressure, and lead to greater powers of concentration. While a maze offers a choice of paths, dead-ends, and false starts, a labyrinth is based on a circle and offers a way to the center. A maze challenges the cognitive left brain while a labyrinth appeals to the intuitive right brain, and thus can be calming and relaxing. A maze is about the journey out, a labyrinth is about the spiritual journey. Due to their amazing healing properties, labyrinths have been installed into many hospitals, schools, and individual residences. ~Aishwarya I enjoy walking the labyrinth - AAS
