Sacred geometry
Sacred geometry is the sacred geometry of the forms that underlie life. These forms are the keys to the knowledge of space and man.
When translating the word "geometry" from Greek, it turns out "measuring the earth." It contains knowledge to predetermine the forms of molecules that make up everything in the universe. Ancient mystical practices considered geometry the first and most noble of all sciences.
Sacred geometry contains the knowledge of various schools of mysticism, which existed before our era, and modern, combining esoteric knowledge with modern science.
It is of great importance and has been used by representatives of art, architecture and philosophy in various cultures for more than one thousand years.
What is it?
The Flower of Life, as a symbol, is found in many religions and is a reflection of the pattern by which the whole world was created from the thoughts of the Creator or the Great Void.
He acts as a sacred symbol, the source of all that is in the world, which includes a number of the most important and sacred symbols of the universe. Its geometry contains information systems that are the foundation of everything - from the structure of the human body to galaxies. For example, the first of them is able to create any molecular systems and living cellular structures that only exist in the universe.
The Flower of Life is a figure with six petals, which were formed as a result of the mutual intersection of circles with the same diameter at a point. Some he called the seed of life, which is able to show the path to the development of clairvoyance and spiritual vision. In other words, those means that give a person the opportunity to cause all kinds of metamorphoses. All these petals represent individual types of work of the human consciousness, awakening the chakras, or spiritual organs.
The symbol of the Flower of Life is present throughout the globe. It should be noted that in all countries and on all continents it is called the same. According to Drunvalo Melchizedek's book, The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life, its main names are translated as the Language of Silence and the Language of Light.
Symbol Spread
The Flower of Life symbol is very ancient. His images were found in Egypt, in the Temple of Osiris (the city of Abydos), where he was carved in granite and, most likely, as the eye of the god Ra - a symbol of the power of the pharaohs. Also, the Flower of Life was met by scientists studying Phenicia, Assyria, India, Asia and the Middle East. In addition, it was often used by representatives of medieval art.
Features of the structure of the pattern
This name was given to the pattern by Drunvalo Melchizedek, who in 1990 was the leader of the New Age movement.
The Flower of Life symbol is represented by an ornament in which intersecting circles are evenly located. This pattern is absolutely symmetrical and is formed by one circle - the central one. At the vertices of the regular hexagon inscribed in it, six more circles are located, the radius of which is equal to the radius of the central one. This piece of Flower is called the Seed of Life. The construction of the symbol ends by drawing another 12 circles whose centers are at the vertices of the hexagons inscribed in the above six circles. In its final form, the Flower of Life has 19 peaks.
Another structure that is hidden in this symbol is called the Tree of Life. It does not belong to any culture, despite the fact that the Egyptians carved it on the columns of their structures. The symbol of the Tree of Life is not related to Kabbalah. He acts as a structure, which is the innermost element of nature.
The drawing of the Flower of Life symbol belongs to special figures that make up sacred or sacred geometry. It is associated with historical, mythological and spiritual traditions.
Petals of the Flower of Life. Description
As mentioned above, this symbol has six petals. The value of each of them forms the general meaning of the Flower.
The meaning of the first petal is positivity. This means that positive should be in all our thoughts and feelings. It is necessary to learn to notice positive moments in all surrounding reality. After overcoming a negative attitude, the inner and outer world of a person begins to transform and be filled with love and joy. In any event, you should always look for positive aspects.
The second petal is credited with the importance of concentration and control over consciousness and thoughts. The characteristic of this petal says that human thoughts should not be formed randomly and randomly. It is necessary to clearly direct the flows of your thoughts and feelings. A man should become the master and control his mind, subordinating to his desires that which is formed in him not of his will, since this "develops the power of thinking."
The meaning of the third petal is the control of one’s actions and the ability to direct one’s will. A person needs to engage in the development of strength, perseverance and endurance of his inner will. When he needs to do something, he must do it unmistakably. You can not succumb to the flow and be like a leaf in the wind. It should be subordinated solely to their internal orders. In addition, the description of this petal suggests that it is necessary to regularly repeat certain actions in order to strengthen the will, because without repetition the desired result will not be achieved.
The fourth petal enables the person who comprehends the highest wisdom to engage in the development of inner calm. More specifically, we are talking about the composure and serenity of the spirit that prevail in the sensual world. The symbolic meaning of this petal is that no event should bring a person out of equilibrium for a long time. His peace must be unshakable. A person with developed emotional self-control and inner peace independently strengthens his mind and character. Inner life acquires a note of softness, which should become fundamental in his life.
The meaning of the fifth petal says that you need to open your mind and be patient with other (different) points of view. One should listen with care and thoughtfulness to the interlocutors and not to rush into judgments. A person must learn from any other person, even if he is the most ordinary. This state of openness of mind can work miracles with a person. In addition, it is able to expand and illuminate the inner life.
The final sixth petal is of the greatest importance, since it leads a person to the fact that it is necessary to develop in himself a great gratitude to life for all the gifts and opportunities that all its moments carry. In fact, life is also a great gift. The kingdom of nature, earth and heaven provide man with his beauty and grace, and also become a home for every person. Everyone should tremble with deep appreciation for all these gifts. Such a state is able to exalt the human soul and bring happiness to it.
Each of these activities should be combined with the rest and act simultaneously.

How to get started?
First of all, you need to use a pattern to harmonize your life. To do this, it is best to draw the Flower of Life yourself. Thus, a person will gradually know him. First of all, the Seed of Life is drawn, which symbolizes the days of the creation of the world. Each of the circles corresponds to a specific day. In addition, they mean seven directions (eastern, southern, western, northern, left, right, central), days of the week, chakras, spiritual principles, etc.
The first circles are a symbol of the foundation of human creation. The seventh day was marked by the final formation of the Seed of Life, containing tremendous strength. The first seven circles are the center of all being. The ability of a person to build these basic circles in his own life opens up the shortest path to healing, harmonization, gaining strength and perfection. The result will be that the forces that supply him with the necessary energy waves will begin to spin in his life.
