We embark on the thirty-sixth day of a 40 Day Practice, based on the energy of the Labyrinth (releasing – contemplation – receiving). If you have a local labyrinth, I invite you to walk the labyrinth with today’s theme as your focus. If you don’t have a local labyrinth, you can create your own, take a walk somewhere peaceful, or even sit in contemplation in your own home. I will be scheduling various public labyrinth appearances, and you are welcome to join me when and where you can, if you feel moved to do so.

The theme for today is Releasing. In today’s western culture, we fear change, so we hold on to behaviors, beliefs, and even people and things long after they are doing us any good. This is how addiction starts for many people. When we consciously look at those things which no longer serve us, we can release them, making room for the new.
