Among a few interpretations, the Labyrinth beyond the ancient Greek myth itself, hides an allegory that describes a personal journey towards consciousness and self-awareness. Entering the Labyrinth and following a pathway inward to the very center of it, where Minotaur the half human beast dwells, who represents our primal instincts and behaviors. Self-healing is about accepting these feelings and desires and controlling them, one must realise it's animal side and be in peace with its nature. Metaphorically 'killing' the inner beast within us, before we follow the way back and exit the Labyrinth reborn, death and rebirth of our inner self.
