Sacred Geometry
Sacred Geometry is often used in holistic practices and readily pictured on wellness merchandise, but what is the actual meaning behind it?
WHAT IS SACRED GEOMTERY?
Many teachings have described Sacred Geometry as the blueprint of creation and the genesis, the origin of all form. Sacred geometry is considered an ancient science that explores and explains the energy patterns that create and unify all things and reveals the precise way that the energy of creation organizes itself. It is said that every natural pattern of growth or movement comes back to one or more geometric shapes.
The molecules of our DNA, the cornea of our eye, snowflakes, flower petals, crystals, a shell, the stars, the galaxy we spiral within, the air we breathe, and all life forms are created out of geometric codes.
HOW CAN SACRED GEOMETRY IMPROVE MY LIFE?
Through observing and contemplating sacred geometric shapes/codes, they can reveal deep wisdom, opening up to life and creation of the Universe itself. Certainly, they have for me, as I have explored them through my own healing and empowerment journey.
It is believed that the ancients considered that the experience of Sacred Geometry was essential to the education of the soul. They knew that these patterns and codes were symbolic of our own inner realm and were significant to higher consciousness and self-awareness. Sacred geometry amplifies our connection to spirit, and creates harmony within ourselves, and between ourselves and the outside world. It is often called “sacred architecture” because it underlies everything and is woven into the fabric of all creation.
Further, in addition to our physical realm, it is said we have a “Lightbody & Merkabah”, which is a gridwork of light and sacred geometry that brings together your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual being. This body radiates light energy and links you and you as a multidimensional self, with the infinite universe.
Sacred geometry as I have worked with it, contains high frequencies of energy and light that can activate, heal, awaken, and transform. The symbols are like codes that assist you in your journey of life, but also can be used more consciously to bring about deep soul awakening and connection to our true divine essence. It can be used to open up pathways and doorways to the infinite realms, as well as the connection to the oneness of all life, in nature and the whole world around us.
Sacred geometry brings about certain effects of healing, harmonizing and rebalancing on all levels. It connects the inner and outer, uniting all.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE MOST COMMON SHAPES? WHAT IS THEIR MEANING?
Here are some shapes and their meanings/intentions and how they help us.
TRIANGLE
CIRCLE
SQUARE
SPIRAL
CROSS (2 LINES)-The intersection of the 2 lines is where ‘heaven and earth’ meet, and the result of their union is mankind (symbolized by the cross).
FLOWER OF LIFE CONTAINS THE SEED OF LIFE
The Flower of Life is a physical representation of the connection with all living things in the universe. It is considered a sacred symbol universally, and said to also contain within it the ‘blue print of creation’, the ‘building blocks’ of the universe – which we call the “Platonic Solids”. These are templates through which the foundation of life can be expressed. The Greek Mystery Schools 2,500 years ago taught that there were five perfect 3D forms – the tetrahedron, hexahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron. These Platonic Solids are considered the foundation of everything in the physical world, revealing the unity in all things. However, if you break these Platonic Solids down to their simplest forms, they form the triangle, square, circle, spiral, and straight line. These are the basic ‘sacred geometric shapes (above).’
PYRAMID (SPIRAL, TRIANGLE, AND SQUARE)
The Pyramid contains the spiral, the golden mean ratio, the triangle and square. The pyramid contains the number of divinity, 3 (the 3 sides to each triangle) plus the number of mankind, 4 ( 4 sides of the square). It represents the relationships between Source & humanity. The Pyramid of Giza in Egypt was built to create the energy that facilitated connection with the spiritual realms. The top or apex of the pyramid represents the highest point of spiritual attainment, the body of the structure is the ‘journey’ or ascent to enlightenment, spiraling upwards. The pyramids were used for initiations, and in transporting to ‘other realms.’ They were used by the initiates to go through a kind of death and become ‘transformed’ or ‘reborn’. The merkabah is like two pyramids interlocking
STAR OF DAVID (OR MERKABAH IN ITS 2D FORM)
The upward triangle is masculine, the downward triangle is feminine, the two merging in perfect harmony.
MERKABAH (INTERLOCKING TRIANGLES) -All sacred symbols make up the Merkabah.
HOW IS SACRED GEOMETRY USED IN HEALING? AND CAN SACRED GEOMETRY IMPROVE MY MEDITATION?
I was going through a lot of inner child trauma at the time, and I found meditating with the symbols (especially the flower of life), and also using crystal grids in the geometric shapes, incredibly beneficial.
Sacred geometric shapes as we have seen, bring us back to our true essence, to connect more deeply to the inner, and harmonize with the outer. It expands us and connects us on many levels. Each geometric shape has a specific energy vibration and intention, and feeling of energy. When using them in meditation or healing, they can bring about an energetic shift in your being and in your consciousness, creating healing and re-balancing.
To use the symbols, simply print out your attachment and trace over the pictures in a meditative state while concentrating on your intention…
Or sleep with the symbol under your pillow…
Or put it under a glass of water; let it sit, and then drink the water.
You could also place the picture on one of your chakras that you may be working on or even just look at it while meditating!
Always have an intention for the use of the symbol before you begin working with it!
You will also find yourself start designing your own Sacred Geometry symbols, sometimes through meditation or sleep you might find that you are “downloaded” with an inspirational design of your own!
