Tip 1. Look for a space on the beach that may have some interesting pieces of sea nature. Why? – Find out more.
Tip 2. Gather 16 small pieces from the beach that will become reminders to you in your labyrinth pattern. Such as colored stones, shells, fun pieces of sea glass.
Tip 3. Find a long stick to draw lines in the sand with.

Tip 4. Once you have laid out the cross, four two-sided squares and planted your four trees, place the bits that you have gathered (in step two) at these points to become markers so these points stand out.

Walking through a sand labyrinth for the first time may bring you an unexpected quality that could increase your experience of joy and renew your romance with life along our coastlines.

After drawing and creatively decorating a sand labyrinth it will be time to simply enter the walk. Walking the labyrinth pathway, your attention may be drawn inward, increasing your focus on what’s in front of you. This is when you may begin to notice the simple beauties of beach life that sometimes gets lost in the vastness of the bigger view. For example, tiny bird footprints, a shell embedded in the sand and seaweed sitting softly on top.

These bits of life may jump deeper into awareness in this type of meditative walk creating a deeper sense of expanded connection to your senses in some way.

If you are planning a beach event or simply find yourself with time at the beach, consider this an opportunity to deepen your connection with our coastal life.

Once your labyrinth is drawn, take a few moments to engage in exploring the beach you are on for interesting pieces to place around the outside of the outer ring of your sand labyrinth. You may find some treasure in the small pieces of wood that have become rounded and can be placed along to match the rounded edges of your outer ring.

Remembering all the while she will reclaim the wood and sand and leave it as tho never played with fresh a canvas for the next beach visitor!

Choosing the wood pieces and placing a round the outer ring became part of the meditation in this walk

You may even find some interesting pieces that can up along the outer ring. If you are at the beach for the day you may want to dig in larger pieces of wood to create more of a sculpture around parts of the outside.

8 Steps for drawing a labyrinth in the sand:

1. Draw a cross in the center.
2. In each corner of the crosses quadrants draw two sides of a square shape.
3. In the missing corner of each of the four boxes plant a tree.
4. Working left to right from the first line of the cross draw an arch from the the top of this line over to the first line of two-sided square. This will be the center of the labyrinth when you walk into it therefore, you can be creative depending on your walking motivation. In this one I used a heart.

5. Continue working left to right and arch the left side of two-sided box line over to the tree you planted earlier on the right side.
6. Working left to right arch from the tree you planted on the left side to the second line of the two-sided box.
7. Continue left to right arching lines as you join up the two sides, remembering the right side is always one lower in the pattern.
