Here I quote from scientific research into the wonder of wood -

“Wood has properties, which makes it a restorative material. In previous studies, wood material has been shown to affect activity of human autonomic nervous system and to relieve stress. People have been shown to have more positive emotions in wooden rooms and the mere touching of wooden materials can have a calming effect."

The Chartres Labyrinth

The Chartres labyrinth pattern is based on the famous labyrinth that was inlaid into the floor of Chartres Cathedral in France in 1201 A.D. Also known as the Classical 11-Circuit design, many people travel to this Notre Dame cathedral to walk the pattern. This design is longer to traverse than the Cretan, and therefore the journey to the centre oftentimes will be deeper and more introspective than the Cretan design.
