Synopsis

Labyrinths date back thousands of years.
Coins from 300 BC feature labyrinth designs. Unicursal single path labyrinths are found in cathedrals, and multi-cursal multi-path labyrinths are popular in garden architecture. A labyrinth is not a maze, which is a puzzle to solve. A labyrinth is a pathway you follow on your journey of self-discovery.

Finger labyrinths have been popular for decades. They recreate the experience of walking a full-sized labyrinth, and are excellent meditation tools.
Most of the labyrinths in this book open along the bottom edge and travel to the center. Trace along the design with your fingertip. If a pathway is small, try tracing with a capped pen, the eraser-end of a pencil or anything that points. Start at the beginning of the labyrinth and trace along the pathway until you reach the center. Then take a breath and trace back out to the beginning. Take another breath and trace once more until you reach the center again. Go back and forth as often as you wish.
Also switch hands from time to time. It s easier than you think and creates a whole brain exercise.
Tracing a labyrinth locks down hand-to-eye coordination and focuses the mind. This helps thoughts calm down and regulate. Focus creates mindfulness, which is beneficial for managing stress, anxiety, anger and attention issues. The labyrinths in this book range in complexity. Designs in the front are simple and easy. Designs in the middle are slightly complex. Designs in the back are challenging.
Find the labyrinth patterns you enjoy, and trace your way to a gentle, mindful state.

Review

Research indicates that both walking labyrinths and finger labyrinths have a positive effect on brain wave activity and neurological response. Therefore, the chance to release both emotional and physical tension is heightened by using one. The experience is simultaneously introspective and kinesthetic; a complete mind-body integrative activity. --Neal Harris, M.A. Director - Relax4Life Center

The Finger Labyrinth Workbook is the perfect tool for allowing you to slow down from our busy world and find your own center place. Each labyrinth has something to teach you about yourself and the world around you. From simple to complex designs these paths of contemplation with the accompanying history and inspirational quotes will bring you a new perspective to the journey of life! --Lea Goode-Harris, PhD, NC Creator of the Santa Rosa Labyrinth
