Commentary on "Exploring the Effects of Walking the Labyrinth"
Abstract: This commentary describes the pilot study, "Exploring the Effects of Walking the Labyrinth," by Drs. Sandor and Froman (the Journal of Holistic Nursing, 24(2)) as "a valuable beginning study on this 'supposed' healthy form of meditative exercise" (p. 111). According to the reviewer, it supports the need for a spectrum of research approaches in alternative, complementary, and integrative practice "to help us move from the 'supposed' position to one that is more confident in predicting positive outcomes" (p.111). The commentary suggests that the "study has numerous implications for holistic nurses in practice" (p. 112).
