Recently, Laure blogged how walking can be a form of escape that's not only good for your body but also good for your mind. And, focused meditative walking can have dramatic benefits for your spirit as well. As you move with a regular rhythim (sans IPod), the movement acts as interior drumbeat that drowns out your daily stresses. Labyrinth walking is a classic form of focused walking. And with the help of The Labyrinth Company you can now easily create one in your own backyard...
The Labyrinth Company: A Different Kind of Escape
Buy one of their templates, constructed from weed blocking landscape fabric, lay it on the ground, outline it with stones and fill it in with soil and grass or the plants of your choice and you'll be well on your way to a walking escape. They also sell temporary and finger labyrinths for those without the space to devote to a full-on set-up. Click here to find out more. What about you? Have you ever tried a walking meditation?

3000 bucks for an outline; AND ON TOP I'VE TO DO ALL THE WORK OF PUTTING IT TOGETHER MYSELF! Yeah... probably not. Maybe if I had 3000 bucks just burning in my pocket... but this is recession time.

I was going to send this link to my dad because he loves labyrinths, but for that price he could just fly to Europe and walk a genuine one.

seems very interesting---wish I had a yard and 3k to spend on something other then this item. I wonder if it sends a message to outer-space people.
