A Path to Allow

Day 314  November 10
In The Year of Honest Living
In The Quarter of: Contribution
In The Month of: Grateful Pathways

Week Two: Grateful

Allowance is an essential tool relative to gratefulness and the labyrinth. When we walk the path, it offers us more when we allow time, relevance and connection. When we allow gratitude, we expand our possibilities and feel larger as a result. Where we are not sure, follow another’s path or become indecisive, we stop the flow of allowing ourselves to receive the great abundance that gratitude is. Be conscious to allowing the great and full to accompany you on a walk, a path or a direction for greater reception.

A is for Abundance

To realize is to recognize from a cognitive perspective as well as a body minded acknowledgement. It is to wholly come into what we make effort to create. Gratitude is that largeness of realization with cherished acknowledgement.  To design, create, build or develop a contribution of labyrinth awareness, education, application or contribution is to realize.

November’s Focus

Week Two Focus: GRATEFUL

In discovering the elements of gratitude, thanks is an expression we use to communicate our sense of what we hold gratitude for. Explore the ways Thanks is communicated this week on the labyrinth in daily walks, group facilitation, program creation, offerings, artwork, illustration and design, building canvas or permanent designs, books written or poetry created. However you find thanks as the path, on the path or of the path you are on… how is it expressed?

1. • Personal: consider the ways of your own personal adventures and use.
   • Associations: contemplate the ways of use with friends, family, and relationships or other acquaintances.
   • Environs: realize the community uses, organizations, landscapes encountered.
   • Global: imagine the ways that what you do reaches others in the world environs.

Share and become part of history and her story…

• share your experience  as part of the Labyrinth Society’s Daily Wisdom Archive.

Consider the topic with the ways you currently use the labyrinth for self or sharing with others:

• Personal Walk
• Group Walk, Program, Workshop, Education, etc.
• Designs, Artwork, illustrations, photos of labyrinth you walked, etc.
• Building concepts, tips, techniques, design ideas, etc.
• Personal Development, Guidance, Growth orientation, etc
• Writing, poetry, creations, installations, etc.
• Learn something new about yourself, others or the labyrinth this month.

The 13th of Cheer

Day 104: April 14
In The Year of Living Honestly
In The Quarter of: Education
In The Month of: Amusement

Having mixed up days in posting between yesterday and today, amusement is found in the mishaps and missteps that often offer a new or unique insight that the day before may not had understood. The mythinformation that may have sprung up yesterday among the superstitions is based on age old ideas that the population at the time was conditioned to receive. It is surprising that we still cling to that sense of fear and foreboding on this day in some ways and are more likely to be amused by the idea of black cat crossings, broken mirrors and lower ladder dwelling events as we tuck a rabbits foot into our pocket for insurance. This is where the labyrinth provides clarity in its meandering spirals and brings us to a new focal point. If yesterday brought up discord or phobia, realize that there is an enormous list of phobias that include a fear of potato chips, cibosolanumtuberosum. When we think we have conquered our propensity to focus away from fear we might realize as Winston Churchill explained years ago that the only thing to truly fear, is fear itself.

One might consider cheer to be the antithesis of fear as when there is a focus on one, the other is not present. Hence our communion with amusement in this national month of humor focus. Fear can keep us from our honest abilities and cheer can incite them to riot and expand. Cheer naively explores possibility and ends up with a pocketful of new potential just because it had a good time. It tends to expand our focus and that allows us to see beyond the potato chip in front of us and into the banquet beyond that we hunger for. Let fun liven your step today and experience the festival of life that ripples around you with new vision.

 

On this 104th day…
Toss cheer into the center as you begin your walk today and observe what occurs in the steps along the way to it.

April’s Focus

Let this month unfurl your creativity, spontaneity and jocularity. It feels good to feel good and while we have been conditioned to shush our good times, let the labyrinth be our own private creation station of amusement, enjoyment and playful experiments. This month educate with amusement and see how much farther you get. Have fun and be creative.  We have three opportunities to education your potential with amusement this month that involves either your personal walk, your ability to design and how much you can learn by sharing. On your Mark, Get Set…Go!

1. Innovate – Walk Amused
   In the 30 days that grace this month, play with the way you personally experience the labyrinth. Let this season of education be one of personal bests and enjoy finding a new way to be innovative, creative, inspired and amused in your personal experiences. I’d love to see what you come up with!
   Please share your wonderful experiences! 

2. Create – Design Inspired 
To date I have created 95 different labyrinth creations and designs since the beginning of the year, let that inspire you to create something new this month that is inspiring and firing for your imagination. Einstein said that playing with ideas was the highest form of research and this is an education for all of us.  As you walk in new ways, share your designs as I have done with mine last year and this. Perfection isn’t what we are after, amusement is! I look forward to seeing what you come up with! I will toss out lots of inspiring ideas… stay tuned daily.
Share away and become a glad designer instead of a mad one!  

3. Relate – Share with Care
One of the best ways to learn anything is having to teach or explain it to someone else. Whether you facilitate others, teach or simply share with a few, spend the month discovering amusing new ways to help others get more out of their walk with a lighter attitude and a more earnest enjoyment in what you share. Anything you want to know more about, share and this month share with a fun flair and notice how much more you actually begin to understand. You just might find a side of yourself forgotten. To receive all that, be a great giver.
Share what you discover!
