Unwinding your past.

I love this labyrinth at lands end in San Francisco. I often visit it after seeing art at the Legion Of Honor. We can take care of our body by taking a hike to a special place like this and attend to our spirit by stopping and meditating in some way before turning back.  At this labyrinth you can do a walking meditation, I pick different things to focus on. Recently it was forgiveness. Walking in I couldn't get focussed but when I stepped out to return from the center I was overwhelmed with waves of love and forgiveness even for those who have hurt me. I was able to forgive them and liberate myself from some of the pain and anger that I was carrying around. It was as if a heavy weight was lifted and I have felt a lot freer since and my mind is more focussed. We can do more good when we feel good and this might help more of us feel good.
