A finger labyrinth or lap labyrinth, is a labyrinth design, carved in wood, that you trace with your finger.  It functions in much the same way as a full-size walking labyrinth, (to further relaxation, meditation and prayer) except that the user traces the path to the center using their finger rather than their feet.  For many, this combination of movement (tracing the path) with introspection (eyes closed), is a more relaxing way to meditate or pray.  For those whose meditation or devotional practice seems demanding or sporadic, finger labyrinths provide a unique way to bring renewed vitality and meaning to these activities. 

Relax4Life was the first and still is the only finger labyrinth maker in the world creating finger paths that are wide and deep enough for an adult-sized finger to comfortably fit in and move through the grooves. 

Since 1995, we have carved our finger labyrinths using sealed and clear-finished hardwood maple (FM) and plain compressed wood, also known as MDF (PW).    

The finger paths in the plain compressed wood designs have a light sandy texture, especially appealing for those looking for a more tactile experience while finger walking.  Finger labyrinths in this unfinished compressed wood material can be comfortably used as is or can be stained or painted with a water or oil base stain or paint; The choice is yours.   Compressed wood is made from recycled wood products and therefore is a wonderful "green living" alternative to harvesting additional trees.

Having a smoother finger path than the plain compressed wood, our sealed and clear finished maple designs are ideal for those environments where being able to clean/sanitize between uses is important such as in a hospital, nursing home, elementary school etc.  Many people also enjoy the natural wood grain that beautifully shows through in this material.

On the back of all of the finger labyrinth designs listed on this page is a notch for hanging as well as engraved suggestions for use. 

12" Single Cretan Finger Labyrinth (Classical 7-Circuit)

This is the oldest (3000 years or more), simplest and most widely used labyrinth pattern in the world. It is believed to have its origins on the Isle of Crete. With it’s 7 interconnecting paths, this pattern associates well with the 7 major Chakras for contemplative and healing purposes. Being 12" round, and weighing only 2 lbs., this labyrinth easily fits into briefcases, suitcases and is the perfect take along. It is also a tool for those who may lack strength and mobility such as small children and nursing home residents.

18" Chartres Finger Labyrinth

This pattern is the most popular design in North America and is based on the famous labyrinth that was inlaid into the floor of Chartres Cathedral in France in the 13th Century. Many people travel to this Notre Dame cathedral to walk this pattern, however, chairs usually cover it. This design is significantly longer to traverse than the Cretan, and therefore the journey to the center oftentimes will be deeper and more introspective. This design is 18" round, and weighs 5 pounds.

12" Ely Cathedral Finger Labyrinth

This unusual labyrinth pattern is found inlaid into the tile floor of Ely Cathedral located just outside of London, England. Ely is a more modern labyrinth constructed by Sir Gilbert Scott in 1870 during his restoration of the cathedral. As a finger labyrinth, the paths are more angular and winding than the Cretan or Chartres, and longer to the center (like the Chartres) in only a 12-inch space and weighing just 2 pounds.
