Background: Meditation as it is currently known is an ancient practice, which can be traced back to Asian traditions. With the proper technique, a state of physical relaxation and respiratory balance can be reached naturally and spontaneously. This paper considers meditative labyrinth walking to be a unique expression of Dr. Lauren Artress’ work, who studied and applied the image of the labyrinth on the floor of the Chartres Cathedral in France. Methods: This study used a qualitative approach. It is a cross-sectional non-randomized study, conducted at an institute for psychotherapies with a sample of 30 participants. Results: 99% of the group reported feeling emotional distress caused by the feeling of a longer walk on the way out, 21% reported feeling the same while walking the path, and 41% at the beginning. The remaining participants felt lost in time and space. Conclusions: This study showed that the practice of labyrinth walking is a physical, emotional, and sensory experience. On the clinical level, correlating this experience to the planning of care seems to be particularly relevant.

In various parts of the world, work the maze theme as recreation and as an anti-stress resource for the troubled reality of large centers. Hospitals develop experiences with labyrinths as a tool to support the treatment of diseases. Henry Head proposed the term "body scheme", explaining that each individual constructs a model of himself, which constitutes a pattern in which postures and movements are composing themselves in a manner consistent with this pattern. It proposed the integrality between the different body perceptions and the influence of unconscious aspects in these experiences. Upon receiving sensory information, the CNS processes them in the context of previously learned responses and performs an automatic postural correction response, which is guided or expressed through the mechanical response that is supported. There are studies considering the contributions of various brain regions to adaptive behavior, and often conceptualize systems that govern brain-behavior relationships within separate and distinct domains. From a neurological point of view, behaviors can be differentiated between cognitive, attention/executive, language, visuospatial, learning and memory and sensory and motor domains.
