Labyrinth, a solid, heavy square brass candle holder with celtic patterns on all side. This item can be kept as a stunning decorative piece and is an ideal gift. Height 7.5cm, diameter approx 12cm. The term labyrinth is often used interchangeably with maze. During Medieval times, the labyrinth symbolized a hard path to the God with a clearly defined center (God) and one entrance (birth). Labyrinths are used by many modern mystics to help the user achieve a contemplative state. By walking amongst the turnings, the user loses track of direction and of the outside world, and thus quiets the mind. The result is a relaxed mental attitude, free of internal dialog. This is a form of meditation. Many people believe that meditation has health benefits as well as spiritual benefits. UK Postage is a flat rate of £3.95. Only available to UK buyers. |
