This rug is a tool to support meditation, encouraging pause and deep breathing. I intend my rug to be physically interacted with, helping the user to reconnect and reflect. The design of the rug takes inspiration from an emotional grounding technique where you count how many objects of each colour you can see. Hence, the tag lists instructions on how to use the rug to destress through counting the shapes and colours and feeling the textures. The process of making the rug also is conceptually linked to mediative practice as it was handmade using a punch needle.
