We've all heard of it and seen it numerous times, but what is it? I know in my Biofeedback, we use Sacred Geometry as a program to help retrain individuals mind body and soul! It is very powerful in the healing modalities. Like so many other things, its secrets have been lost over time and there are only a few who totally understand it and use it to it's full potential today.
In times gone by, humans were more in tune with the
environment they lived in. Today, we have little connection to nature and the
planet. The ancient wisdom that was often passed down through story- telling
and tradition seems to have been forgotten or lost.
The understanding of the importance of different geometric
shapes and patterns found everywhere in nature seems to be amongst the wisdom
that has been thrown away. With all the changes that are happening on earth at
the moment, some of this information is being revived. Here is some information
about how the ancient science of Sacred Geometry can have a positive influence
on your life.
The earliest cultures including the Christians, Hindus,
Greeks and Egyptians recognized that there were different patterns or geometric
shapes that repeated throughout nature. They also worked out that there was a
correlation or connection between the various elements found in the earth and
the heavens. These connections or common patterns, known as Sacred Geometry,
were mirrored- the same patterns appeared on the earth and the in sky -and were
believed by these ancient cultures to exist in all parts of the universe.
They also recognized that these small patterns were
representative of the building blocks that were literally the blueprint for
everything the universe. A seed, after all, contains all the material needed to
become a mighty tree, regardless of the size of the tree. A single cell
contains all the elements of the whole body, and the earth and heavens are
reflections of each other. This idea, represented by the saying “As above, so
below”, summarized this ancient belief.
Modern science has proven that these patterns are, in fact,
the very molecular shapes that form the basis of all life in this universe.
These shapes or patterns were universal and governed the way in which the world
replicated itself. These universal laws or patterns were absolute and static,
they did not change or alter over time or space. This is evidenced by the vast
number of cultures from around the world that all recognized the sacredness of
these specific patterns and geometric shapes.
Patterns and natural laws could be broken down into a
variety of different representations. These may include numbers, mathematical
formulas and even specific geographic symbols. Since symbols are very visual
they are easy to identify throughout historical architecture, art and design.
Using these symbols, all based on mathematics, allowed incredibly detailed and
precise construction that still inspires wonder and awe today. Think of the
pyramids of Egypt and the amazing archeological buildings and temples found
throughout South and Central America. Engineers
and architects are still not sure how these were constructed thousands of years
ago with only rudimentary tools and building methods.
The recurring patterns in nature became Sacred Geometric
patterns in these early cultures. The endless and amazing power of the shapes
symbolized the continuity of life from birth through to death and beyond. Repeating and using these patterns in
building, art and design harnessed their power and gave the symbols meaning.
Understanding more about the different shapes of Sacred
Geometry and how they were used in these ancient cultures can teach you how to
harness their power.
The Flower of Life
Literally appearing as a beautifully balanced and perfectly
proportioned flower, this geometric shape is recognized in many cultures around
the world. It is developed by 13 separate spheres that interconnect through the
design to create a unique pattern. Within the different shapes formed by the 13
spheres are represented many geometric and mathematical laws that are still
used today. As a symbol the Flower of Life is considered to demonstrate the
whole of the universe as well as its diverse components working together in
harmony. The Flower of Life is revered
for its ability to allow you to connect to your higher spiritual self as well
as promote healing.
Metatron’s Cube
Connecting the centre of each of the circles formed in the
Flower of Life forms another Sacred Geometric shape known as Metatron’s Cube.
It also contains the perfect solids, which are also sacred. Metatron’s cube has
a long history in art and architecture and can be spotted in some of the oldest
cities and buildings in the world. It is believed that the Metatron’s Cube shape holds
all possible laws and patterns for creation and reality. Wearing the Metatron’s
Cube will provide you with inner peace and spirituality.
Perfect Solids
If you remember back to your geometry and chemistry classes
you will recall the importance of the perfect or platonic solids. There are
five different shapes including the cube, tetrahedron, icosahedrons,
dodecahedron and octahedron, that form the perfect solids. They are the shapes
of any and all possible molecules and molecular structures. They are all
congruent polygons with the same number of faces meeting at all vertices. With
this unique combination all sides, vertices and angles are identical, which is
why these
shapes are considered holy in many religions and cultures.
Nautilus Shell
The humble nautilus shell is actually remarkable in its
mathematical proportions. It is the physical representation of the number PHI,
also known as the Golden Mean. PHI, which equals 1.6180339… is a unique number
in that it has no arithmetic solution and goes on to infinity without repeating
itself. This proportion created by PHI is found in the human skeleton,
sunflowers, and of course the nautilus shell. Famous artists such as
Kandinsky and Leonardo Da Vinci used the Golden Mean in their artistic creations.
Research has now shown that people prefer to look at visual images, physical
objects or representations that have the Golden Mean proportions. The Nautilus
shell, with its beauty and mathematical perfection, is thought to allow the
wearer to focus in on the harmony and beauty found in the natural world.
Other Sacred
Geometry Patterns
The Christ
Consciousness shape provides healing as well as giving power, balance and
good health.
The Merkaba
also gives healing power but also acts to provide protection. Throughout
the world there are many different Sacred Geometric patterns and shapes.
Wearing jewellery that includes the Sacred Geometry patterns is an ideal way to
increase
harmony, healing, self-balance, love, unity, oneness and beauty.
Learning more about Sacred Geometry and the ancient wisdom
that is being rediscovered is one way to reconnect with the world around us. We
are again looking at the basic building blocks and their perfection in our
religion, art, spiritual practices and interactions with the world around us.
It taps into the natural laws that have been and still are universal in this
world. Sacred Geometry is also a way to heal, and to create beautiful and
lasting art, architecture and design in our lives in a positive and balanced
way.
