Handmade Ceramic Finger Labyrinths
Labyrinths are a form of sacred geometry used for spiritual purposes and as a tool for meditation. Composed of intertwining lines that form a vortex, labyrinths create a form of subtle energy helpful in meditation, problem solving, emotional release, enhancement of overall vitality and the gathering of insight. A labyrinth, unlike a maze, has a single path leading to a center goal. Where a maze, with all it's choices and possible wrong turns is a left-brain puzzle, a labyrinth is a puzzle for the right brain. As a meditation tool, a labyrinth is
helpful because it gives the left brain some activity to occupy it, allowing freedom for the right brain. Together, the bodily motion
combined with the mental intent allows synchronization of both brain hemispheres.
Please note that all labyrinths are hand-crafted. No two are alike in color, glazing or other details.

Classic 7-Circuit Finger Labyrinths
The traditional 7-circuit labyrinth, using a seed pattern of the Cross comes down to us from the Cretan legacy well before the birth of Christ. This pattern is the classical "walking" meditation. To use a finger labyrinth, one "walks" it with their fingers instead of their feet.
Starseed Finger Labyrinths
The new Starseed™ design is based on a 3-axis vortex as compared to the classic 2-axis vortex used by the 7-circuit labyrinth. It creates an 11-circuit path.
The new design is believed by the artist to create a higher-level dynamic suitable for the coming Age.
Hopi Man In The Maze Finger Labyrinths
The Hopi pattern, despite being located half a world away from the isle of Crete, is mathematically the same as the classic Cretan style but has been stylized in a way unique to the Native Americans. Half of the labyrinth is curved in the normal fashion, but half of it has been angularized to reflect another dimension of the life experience. To the Hopi Indians, the man-in-the-maze reflects their emergence into this world from the sipapu.
Note: The Hopi style is currently out of stock.
