Experience the INFINITY LABYRINTH. Walk the path. Circle the glorious river birches. Stop...Go...Reflect...Dance...Reverse direction...Breathe... Sing...Meditate. Feel the different shapes and textures of the stones beneath your feet. Reflect how each moment changes as we move through time and space.Remain in the powerful center point, experiencing healing energies swirling up from the earth and down from the heavens helping you to integrate, heal, connect, relate, find closure. Walk by day or at night, with candles, moon and stars to guide you.

The Infinity Sign and Energy

The infinity sign is a representation of endlessness and the connection of all that exists. It is also a symbol of the tension of opposites for the two circles of the symbol connect in the middle and stay in perfect balance. This reflection of the atomic dance of positive and negative forces, the yin and yang, keeps the entire universe balanced. It is not surprising then, that according to Donna Eden (www.innersource.net), who sees subtle energies quite clearly, our own energies, when balanced, flowing, and healthy, are connected in this very same pattern. Figure 8’s connect our aura, chakras, and meridians, connect us to each other, and through the “radiant circuits”, connect us to Spirit.

The INFINITY LABYRINTH offers many possibilities for healing and integration.

Ceremonies for Couples

Weddings and Commitment Ceremonies

The center point of the infinity sign is the place where the connection between you and your partner can energetically integrate. The Infinity Labyrinth is a reflection of couplehood. Each of you is a separate sphere of being. Yet in the center, the two wholes can come together as one: 1+1=1. The entire path, but especially the center of the INFINITY LABYRINTH has been powerfully consecrated. The vortex of love and healing that has been created there grows stronger each time one heart opens to embrace another.

As a minister of the Universal Life Church, I am empowered to officiate at weddings and commitment ceremonies.

The Infinity Labyrinth is an ideal location. Lit by the sun during the day or by candles and the moon at night, you may wish to travel the path alone and/or together. Eventually, in the center, love connects you as equals. Outside under the sun or moon, or at a particularly beautiful time of day such as sunrise or sunset, heaven and earth connect in their own infinity sign, to the expansive and yet intimate nature of the moment.

If you choose to have a formal ceremony elsewhere, the Infinity Labyrinth can still be a part of the process of becoming a committed couple. There is great opportunity for your personal creation of rituals and ceremonies, promises to yourself and to each other.

Kabbalistic Weaving Ceremony

A kabbalistic “weaving ceremony”, separate from or as part of a formal wedding or commitment ceremony, deeply connects you at the level of your souls. The divine emanations that make up your individual Trees of Life are woven together. There is great opportunity for your personal creation of rituals and ceremonies, promises to yourself and to each other.

Separation, Divorce, Breakup, Death

Despite the highest of hopes, relationships may end. The reasons vary but in the end the couple parts. Death causes a final separation in the physical plane. A ritual that begins in the center and unweaves the couple tenderly, before they must walk their separate ways can help to bring a beautiful, dignified end to a relationship. An individual can have a surrogate take the place of their partner to achieve closure for themselves. The grief that often accompanies the end of a relationship can be given space and acknowledgement. This can greatly ease sadness and open the way to a fresh beginning.

If there are negative emotions still remaining they can be released through cutting the cord of attachment. I will be happy to discuss this procedure with you.

Ceremonies for Individuals

Individuals are welcome to use the path for meditation or healing.

Walking the Infinity Labyrinth, meditating or simply being in the center is a very powerful experience.

Connecting with Your Shadow

Walk half the path as your conscious self, the other as your shadow (the subconscious part of you that you do not want to acknowledge). In the center, integrate these two parts of yourself through meditation, journaling, or a ritual of your choosing.

Balancing Yin and Yang Within Yourself

After walking the path in both directions remain in the center practicing figure 8 breathwork, such as alternate nostril breathing, to balance to the right and left brain. Try doing “The Celtic Weave”, an Eden Energy Medicine aura balancing exercise (YouTube) which is even more powerful when performed in the center of the Labyrinth.

Uniting with Your Higher Consciousness

Walk half the path as your everyday self, the other half as your higher consciousness. In the center you can unite with your own higher self, integrating this higher vibration through meditation, journaling or a ritual of your choosing.

Connection to Heaven and Earth

After physically walking the path, come to the center. Imagine the path running through you from the center of the earth to the heavens and back again. Your heart is the center point.

Practice the following meditation with the breath:

Inhale from the earth through the bottoms of the feet saying: I inhale the gifts of the earth. I filter them through the love of my heart and with my exhale offer them to the heavens.

Then
Inhale from the heavens through the crown of the head saying: I inhale the gifts of the heavens. I filter them through the love of my heart and with my exhale offer them to the earth.

If this breathwork is preceded by a Uniting with Your Higher Self ritual it is possible that you will feel an Intensely beautiful connection to the Oneness of Existence.

Cutting Cords of Attachment

When a relationship ends, negative cords of attachment can continue to drain your energy, blocking you from moving on in life. When you are ready, and you have learned all the lessons you needed to learn from the relationship, these cords may be severed. In the process, the negative energy contained in them is released and only the positive remains. The person no longer is a drain on you and you can move on in life free from any negative or abusive ties they may have had to you. It is a powerful ritual I learned from Rose Rosetree.

Customized Rituals

Meaningful rituals can be created and performed for any situation that needs closure, celebration, or manifestation. We are only limited by the extent of our imaginations. These customized rituals can also be based in kabbalah or shamanic healing.
