The Kripalu Yoga and Wellness Center is a non-profit organization, located on 7 acres of land in Adams Center, that has been offering yoga and personal growth workshops for over 30 years. Within the last 6 years, the center has received two grants (NYS Counsel of the Arts and Steps to a Healthier New York) to construct a 1/2 mile walking trail and a 70 ft. labyrinth to better serve the community. Check out their website at www.kripaluyogaandwellnesscenter.org
The Kripalu Center Labyrinth is a "Seven Path Classical Labyrinth", which is found in many indigenous cultures. It is an ancient geometric form used as a spiritual tool. The origins are not known but they have been found in Egyptian tombs, Cretan coins, Celtic stones, Christian churches and in the Pima and Hopi Indian traditions. It differs from a maze in that it has only one path into the center and the same path back out again. There are no choices to make after the decision to enter. There is no right way or wrong way to walk the labyrith.
Before entering the labyrinth you may want to:
-Take a few deep breaths and clear your mind.
-Set an intention for clarity on some question.
-Ask your feet to bless the Earth with each step that they take.
Making the Journey:
-Allow yourself to find the natural pace that your body wants to go. Go slowly, reverently, quickly or playfully.
-You may pass people or let others step around you. The path is two ways. Those going in will meet those coming out.
-If you are moved to pause at a given spot, do so.
-The center is a place of meditation and prayer. Stay there as long as you like.
Peace to your Journey - Love and light to your Path!
Congratulations to Team Position Police for FTF!
The blue plastic box placed near the cache is NOT part of the cache and was NOT placed there by me. I do not approve.
