Labyrinth To Go
This iPhone app provides a meditative labyrinth experience. New FREE Version!
The labyrinth in this app is modeled on the famous design found at the Chartres Cathedral in France. The full design contains eleven nested layers enclosing the central rose. Variations of this design can be constructed with fewer layers while still maintaining the basic character of the design.
Customize Your Experience:
Pick the size of the labyrinth you’d like.
Pick the colors that work for you. You can change the color of the edge, the path, or the dot.
You can walk the labyrinth with your eyes or your finger, tracing the path as you go. Turn off the motion to use just your finger or set the amount of time you’d like to journey to the center; return at the same rate.
Choose background music from your own iTunes Library. Or walk in silence.
As You Walk:
Tap the Begin button to start.
Whether you’re walking manually with your finger or with automatic motion, you can resize the labyrinth as you go by using the pinch gesture. The labyrinth will move as needed, so you will never fall off the edge of the screen.
Both portrait and landscape orientations are supported.
You can control when you want to pause by tapping the circle in the lower right corner of the screen. Once you have begun, the Play option will change to Pause.
When you enter the center of the labyrinth, the motion will pause until you are ready to return. Simply tap the Resume button to continue on your journey outward.
About Labyrinths:
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 stone floor design of the labyrinth at the Chartres cathedral was installed sometime in the early 1200s. This design has been adopted at locations around the world, notably at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco.
