Labyrinth walking is a form of active meditation in which one navigates a labyrinth
for meditative or therapeutic purposes. Modern labyrinths have been built in places
of rehabilitation, such as prisons and hospitals, to be used in this way. While this
activity is often connected with religious practice, it has been introduced into
medical settings for spiritual and secular usage alike. Some faith-based researchers
have claimed that labyrinth walking can help calm the mind and guide people through
internal growth, while secular studies regarding its effectiveness in reducing stress
are still ongoing.
The single-path (unicursal) seven-course “Classical” design without dead ends or path choices became associated with the Labyrinth as early as 430 BC.
The Chartres pattern (named for its appearance in Chartres Cathedral) is the most common medieval design; it appears in manuscripts as early as the 9th century.
