The Story
The Flower of Life is a fascinating ancient symbol found in various cultures and parts of the world. Its design resembles a flower and its shape resembles a hexagon, consisting of a grid of overlapping circles. It is also referred to as one of the shapes of sacred geometry that reveals the secret codes of the Universe. Patterns of seven overlapping circles appear on historical artefacts from the 7th century BC onwards. They are known as decorative elements in the Roman Empire period and survive in medieval artistic traditions, both in Islamic and Gothic art. The name Flower of Life is given very recently, however, in the 1990s, and is associated with the New Age movement.
The Flower of Life and Leonardo da Vinci
The Flower of Life and its mathematical properties were also studied by Leonardo da Vinci, who is considered to have been a lover of geometry. He painted the Flower of Life itself, as well as its various components, such as the Seed of Life. Historians believe that Da Vinci's famous Vitruvian Man was designed, at least in part, based on the Flower of Life symbol. The design incorporates a square overlapping a circle. The Flower of Life symbol, as the basis for the design, shows that the proportions of humans are in harmony with the building blocks of the universe.
Flower of Life and Symbolism
The Flower of Life represents the cycle of creation. The circle in the middle of the motif symbolizes how all life comes from a single source. The circles refer to the importance of the unity of all things in order to form a complex world. It is considered to be one of the sacred patterns of the universe, a kind of blueprint for all life, encompassing the fundamental patterns for everything from atoms to planets and everything in between.
The Flower of Life reminds us to live our lives in harmony and tranquility and is an excellent meditation tool.
