Designed to be beautiful and complement mental health and wellness meditation apps, we have created the Metta Meditation mat. This is the Black Lotus version. This mat can also be used for non-vr meditation, it's designed to be a simple space for you to practice meditation.
The material is similar to premium yoga mat material but designed for the seated meditation positions of full lotus, Burmese, and seiza. It is approximately 3/8" (9.5 mm) thick which we have found to be the perfect thickness. It is designed to give your tail perfect support without being too thin or too thick.
The design is inspired by attracting the positive energies through each point of the lotus petal, channeling the positive energies through you, and back out into the world.

Metta Meditation- manifests well being and happiness for yourself, to others, and to all beings.
The word metta is derived from Pali language and refers to a mental state of unselfishness and unconditional kindness to all beings.
metta in Buddhism is attributed as loving-kindness, friendliness, goodwill, benevolence, fellowship, amity, concord, inoffensiveness, and non-violence.
Metta leads people to be kinder, more considerate, and more helpful.
Metta means to care and wish well for another being without judging them, to accept them independently of agreeing or disagreeing with them, and without wanting anything from them in return.
It is energetic compassion that can overcome all social, religious, ethnic, political, and economic barriers.

This is a three-part meditation.
Sit so that you are comfortable.
Begin by taking 2 to 3 deep breaths with a slower, longer, and complete exhale.
Say silently to yourself or out our the following phrases. Allow yourself to feel the intention they express. As an aid to the meditation, hold the image of yourself, then a friend, and then a stranger or difficult person as you express these phrases.
After some time spent directing loving-kindness towards yourself, recall a friend or someone in your life who has deeply cared for you. Then slowly repeat the phrases. As you say the phrases, allow the heart-felt meaning to sink into your body. For the final part, recall other friends, neighbors, acquaintances, strangers, and/or even people you have had difficulty with.

FAQ
CAN YOU USE IT ON ALL FLOORS?
ProxiMats are most effective on clean, hard floors, thanks to the bottom texture that acts as a suction cup to help maintain its position during gameplay.
For those using the mat on rugs or carpeted areas, we have provided velcro hooks that can be attached to the underside of the mat. However, it's important to note that due to the diverse nature of carpet and rug textures, the effectiveness of these hooks may vary.
While the velcro hooks are sufficient for most users, we have also developed a 3D printable file available for download. This file allows you to create a carpet grabber for situations where stronger adherence is needed.
