RESOURCES

This is a short list of resources that I find to be exceptional for meditators and labyrinth-seekers. Enjoy.

World-wide Labyrinth Locator self-explanatory, yes?

7 Masters, One Path by John Selby. This is the foundation of my meditation practice and teaching.

Meditation For Dummies by Stephan Bodian. I love the "Dummies" series, and this is no exception. Clear, funny, informative guide to classic Buddhist meditation practice.

The Miracle of Mindfulness: A Manual on Meditation by Thich Nhat Hanh. Anything he writes is brilliant. Parallax is a publisher of books on "Mindful Living."

The Ways of the Mystic by Joan Borysenko. 7 different styles of meditating, suited to your personality. I use this in conjuction with Selby's 7 Masters to help my students develop a practice they will stick with.

Website of Lorin Roche. A brilliant assessment of meditation techniques and benefits. Well worth looking at.

Centered Living: The Way of Centering Prayer by M. Basil Pennington. He has written many books on the meditative life.

Labyrinthos.net Jeff Saward's beautiful website on labyrinths. Gorgeous photographs, history, construction instruction, etc. http://www.labyrinthos.net/layout.html

Measurements for building a labyrinth

I have just found a wonderful website that will provide (metric) dimensions for your labyrinth if you plug one measurement such as path width into their excel spreadsheet. Here is the link.  I hope it lasts.
