​FLOWER OF LIFE

​FLOWER OF LIFE

The Flower of Life is a name for a geometrical symbol composed of seven or more evenly-spaced, overlapping circles that are spaced evenly apart from one another. Flower of Life is a symbol that depicts the cycle of creation. The first circle represents that all life and consciousness arises from one source. The next 6 circles are identical with the cell division process. Therefore, the Flower of Life is seen as a model of creation. The name “Flower of Life” stems not from a flower imagery but from the cycle of a fruit tree.

The oldest known depictions of the Flower of Life were found in the Temple of Osiris in Egypt and date back to at least 6,000 years ago, and recent research has concluded that they could not have been made earlier than 535 BC. These depictions of the symbol are fascinating because they were not carved into the rock, but rather burned or drawn onto the granite with red ochre with great precision. Some believe that the symbol could have been used to represent the Eye of Ra.

Leonardo da Vinci was known to have studied the Flower of Life pattern and derived the five platonic solids, as well as the Golden Ratio of Phi, from the symbol. Leonardo was particularly interested in the form and mathematical proportions of the Flower of Life and its connection to physical space and human consciousness.
