Welcome to Still Point 12:10, a place to pause, reset, and rise.
I’m Sharon, and I’m so glad you’re here.
Today we’ll step into a labyrinth meditation. The labyrinth is an ancient path — not a maze to confuse us, but a sacred journey that invites us to slow down, to breathe, and to walk with God. Every turn reminds us that life is not always straight, but the center is always waiting.
So wherever you are — walking an actual labyrinth, tracing one with your finger, or simply listening with an open heart — this is your time to find stillness, to breathe deeply, and to rest in God’s presence.
Take a deep breath in … and let it go.
You are here. God is here.
Let us begin the walk together.
Imagine you are standing at the entrance of a labyrinth. Not a maze with tricks and dead ends, but a sacred path that winds toward the center and then gently carries you back out again. The labyrinth is a mirror of life, a place to walk with prayer, intention, and openness.
Today, we’ll move through this practice in 6 steps: Ready, Release, Receive, Return, Write, and Rest. As we journey together, notice what stirs in you, and allow the Spirit to guide your steps.
Step One: Ready
Take a deep, steady breath in… and slowly let it out. Again, inhale peace… exhale distraction.
Ground yourself. Feel the floor beneath you, steady and strong. Notice your body — your shoulders, your hands, your breath.
Now, silently set an intention for this time. What do you bring with you today? Perhaps a question, a longing, or simply a desire for stillness.
As you begin your walk into the labyrinth, whisper a quiet mantra. Something simple, like “Here I am.” Or “God is near.” Or “Peace, be still.”
Step Two: Release
The path curves and winds, carrying you deeper toward the center. With each step, let go.
Release your thoughts — don’t trap them, just notice and let them pass like clouds drifting across the sky.
Let go of distractions. Let go of judgment. Let go of the need to control.
Perhaps you repeat your mantra: “Here I am. Here I am.” Each repetition loosens the grip of fear, anxiety, and clutter.
You don’t need to hold everything right now. Let it fall away, one breath at a time.
Step Three: Receive
Now you arrive at the center of the labyrinth. This is a sacred space — the still point within.
Here, you don’t need to strive or prove anything. Simply be.
If you wish, bring your intention to God. Ask your question, or simply sit in openness. Notice what arises — an image, a word, a feeling, or perhaps just silence. Trust that even silence carries wisdom.
Breathe deeply and let yourself receive whatever is offered. Even the stillness itself is gift.
Step Four: Return
When you’re ready, begin your walk back out of the labyrinth. The path feels different now. You are carrying something new.
Walk slowly, with thankfulness. With each step, whisper gratitude.
Thank you for this breath. Thank you for this moment. Thank you for what is, and what will be.
Return with a grateful heart, knowing you are not the same as when you entered. The Spirit has walked with you.
Step Five: Write
When your journey is complete, take a moment to write. Jot down any word, phrase, image, or feeling that surfaced.
Don’t edit. Don’t analyze. Just let it spill onto the page — even if it seems small or unclear.
This is how the labyrinth speaks: through fragments, symbols, whispers. Trust them.
Step Six: Rest
Finally, resist the urge to explain or share right away. Hold this experience quietly for a couple of days. Let it deepen within you, expand in your heart, and reveal its meaning in its own time.
The labyrinth’s wisdom unfolds slowly, like ripples across water. Give it space to move.
Closing
As we close, take one last deep breath. Inhale peace. Exhale gratitude.
Carry this stillness with you into the rest of your day, knowing that the path is sacred, your steps are guided, and your life itself is a journey of presence and purpose.
If this pause is giving you space to breathe today, I’d love for you to pass it along. Share it with someone who might need a Still Point in their own life this week.
Until we meet again, may you walk slowly, listen deeply, speak gently, and receive the world with an open heart and a smile! Many blessings!
