Description

We spend lifetimes “looking for” our spiritual path as if it is something lost that we must find – we seek, rather than see that we are always on a spiritual journey. While we can not step off the path, we can certainly get lost and disoriented.

Way of the Winding Path offers simple, practical steps for experiencing life as a spiritual pilgrimage, and serves as a map guiding you to find your way with ease, grace, and clarity. Through exploration of the labyrinth as a metaphor for life, one can discover essential skills:

• Getting centered
• Listening to the voice of God
• Remembering who you are
• Taking action in divine alignment
• Celebrating transitions
• Ritualizing everyday actions

The light for illuminating the path already burns within you. Implementing the lessons from Way of the Winding Path will make your light glow more brightly as you make your unique journey through life.

REVIEWS
“Remember, we are always on the labyrinth. For Hogan (author of Intellectual Foreplay, Virtual Foreplay), walking a labyrinth is a metaphor for the spiritual journey we all make throughout our lives. Walking an illuminated labyrinth (which bears no real relationship to walking a disorienting maze, she is careful to point out) is an invaluable tool for gaining spiritual insight. Labyrinths have a 5000-year-old history, and have been found in such far-flung locales as England, India, South America, North America, Greece and Scandinavia, yet we have no real explanation of how they came about. Hogan makes a powerful case that these ancient earth designs hold real power for people of all ages and cultures to reach their own “quiet internal center,” to remember the Divine within and without. Hogan’s clear style and structure mirror the precise experience of preparation, journey and return. It would be a mistake to perceive this slender, practical volume solely as a labyrinth manual; the book is just as much a profound, deceptively simple guide to the spiritual life as it is about negotiating, for example, the 800-year-old pattern on the floor of Chartres Cathedral. Hogan’s book will best be enjoyed by readers who are new to or slightly familiar with labyrinths. Her truths at times seem obvious, but perhaps this is because, like labyrinths, they are timeless.”
