The Metaphysical Labyrinth 对比 Labyrinth To Go 的使用情况和统计数据

People have been constructing and walking on labyrinths for thousands of years. And smaller *finger* labyrinths can be traced with eyes and hands. Today many people continue to find labyrinths to be productive tools for meditation and prayer. A *unicursal* labyrinth contains no forks in the road; just a single continuous path from the outside to the labyrinth center. Your finger, your feet, or your eyes can simply follow the path while your mind travels where it needs to go. The labyrinth in this app is modeled on the famous design found at the Chartres cathedral in France. This stone floor design was installed at the cathedral sometime in the early 1200s. This design has been adopted at locations around the world, notably at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. The full design contains eleven nested layers enclosing the central rose. Variations of this design are constructed with fewer layers while still maintaining the basic character of the design. Using a drag gesture, you can move the dot along the path of the labyrinth, first from the outside to the center, and then back out again. Using pinch gestures, you can zoom into the design. You may find that this makes it easier to drag the dot. Some people also find that being zoomed in more closely reflects how walking a labyrinth is experienced. Try both ways and see which you prefer. You may also choose to have the dot move along on its own.
