Everything you need to know about the Flower of Life

For about forty years, the Flower of Life has intrigued and sparked a lot of interest. In 1999, Drunvalo Melchizedek published a two-volume work called “The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life”; it is the most comprehensive work on this subject. Obviously, the Flower of Life is intriguing, but what exactly is it?

Definition and origins of the Flower of Life:

The Flower of Life is a very ancient geometric symbol. It has been found on numerous ancient monuments in various parts of the world. The oldest known representation of the “overlapping circles” motif dates back to the 7th or 6th century BC, found on the threshold of the palace of the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal in Dur-Sharrukin (now in the Louvre). Another pattern has also been found drawn on the granite columns of the Temple of Osiris in Abydos, Egypt; it is a drawing with five patterns of 19 overlapping circles. It is formed by 19 regularly spaced circles that overlap symmetrically.

How to draw the Flower of Life?

The indispensable tool is obviously the compass. Choose a spacing and keep it until the end of the drawing, as all circles have the same radius. Start by drawing the first circle, then a second one by placing the compass point on a point of the first circle; the second circle will necessarily pass through the center of the first. Then continue like this and draw as many circles as you want. In fact, this pattern can extend infinitely.

Flower of Life and sacred geometry:

The Flower of Life is a figure of sacred geometry. It contains many symbols of sacred geometry such as the Platonic solids, Metatron’s Cube, the Vesica Piscis, the Fibonacci sequence, and more. Other figures like the Seed of Life, the Tree of Life, and the Germ of Life are derived from it. It even has a link to Leonardo da Vinci’s famous drawing, The Vitruvian Man, which represents the human body created according to divine proportions. The Flower of Life has a direct link to the golden ratio and the divine proportion, which are said to have been used to build the pyramids of Egypt and the cathedrals. Some believe that it is present everywhere, in all cells, atoms, and molecular structures, and may even be the origin of life.

What is Sacred Geometry?

These are specific figures due to their proportions or their intimate connection with the golden ratio (or the Phi ratio). They can be found in ancient monuments, in nature, and even in the human body. Let’s delve into the main figures of sacred geometry:

Platonic Solids:

Also known as Platonic solids, these are five polyhedra with specific properties. Their surfaces have the same area; the edges of each Platonic solid are of the same length; the angles formed by all the edges are the same; if any Platonic solid is placed in a sphere that circumscribes it at any point, all of its vertices touch the inner surface of the sphere. The Platonic solids are the cube, tetrahedron, octahedron, icosahedron, and dodecahedron.

Metatron’s Cube:

It is one of the most powerful symbols of sacred geometry. It is believed to be the seal of the archangel Metatron. According to Drunvalo Melchizedek, the five Platonic solids come from the Seed of Life, a figure hidden in Metatron’s Cube.

Merkaba:

It is the light body of the human being. In his work, Drunvalo Melchizedek explains the origin of this word. In Hebrew, Mer-Ka-Vah literally means “throne of God” and “chariot” or “chariot”; in Egyptian, Mer-Ka-Ba breaks down into “Mer” meaning light field, “Ka” meaning spirit, and “Ba” representing the human body. It is, in fact, the light body of the human being.

Vesica Piscis:

It is one of the most prominent figures in the Flower of Life and one of the most important ratios. The Vesica Piscis is the geometric figure formed by the intersection of two circles of the same diameter, with the center of each circle belonging to the circumference of the other. Also called mandorla (almond), this figure is considered one of the keys to Pythagorean esotericism.

Seed of Life:

The Seed of Life is at the center of the Flower of Life. It is composed of seven circles, representing the seven days of creation. Consisting of six circles plus a central circle, a total of seven, it can be considered as consisting of seven seeds of life.

What are the benefits of the Flower of Life?

The Flower of Life is a shape that harmonizes everything that is in disharmony. It regenerates endlessly, so there is nothing to do to recharge it. This symbol represents creation; that is, the entire universe. The Flower of Life symbol is said to be the origin of everything that exists in creation, without exception; all biological life forms, crystalline structures, DNA molecules. In fact, it indicates that all life comes from a single source. All forms of life are therefore intimately connected to the Flower of Life, which also means that all forms of life are interconnected.

How to use the Flower of Life?

First and foremost, it is a powerful meditation tool. But it is also used in daily life in many other ways. The Flower of Life can be used to drink energized water: simply put the water in a Flower of Life carafe for a few hours before drinking it. It is also used to purify and recharge crystals. It can be used to create crystal grids. It helps preserve food, essential oils, and, in general, any substances you want to harmonize and energize. It is also used to harmonize a space like a living room, a waiting room, an office… Moreover, it is very pleasant to wear it; it helps maintain a high level of energy throughout the day and serves as protection, making us less permeable to heavy and unwanted energies. For this, you can opt for a piece of jewelry like a pendant or a ring, or wear clothing like a t-shirt, for example. If you like tattoos, you can get a Flower of Life tattoo on your body, and initially, why not try a temporary Flower of Life tattoo.
