Raven's #9 Labyrinth St. Pius X - Chartres Traditional Cache

This is the 9th in a series of Labyrinths in Tucson. This Labyrinth is a Chartres Design symbolically representing the spiritual journey we all take in life.   There is a church close to cache that has a Labyrinth.

WHAT IS A LABYRINTH A labyrinth is not a maze but a meditative device with a single winding path that leads to a center or end. A maze has many different paths and dead ends to choose from. Walking the labyrinth is a meditative practice which leads to greater power of focus and sense of control in one’s life. Dr. Herbert Benson at Harvard Medical School's Mind/Body Medical Institute has found focused walking meditations are highly efficient at reducing anxiety and has significant long term health benefits, includinglower blood pressure and breathing rates, reduced incidents of chronic pain, reduction of insomnia and many other benefits.
