Flower of Life: Meaning and Power of the Sacred Geometry Symbol
Have you ever gazed at a geometric shape and felt a profound sense of harmony, as if it held an ancient secret? This pattern is probably the Flower of Life. More than just a drawing, this symbol is a key, a gateway to understanding the universe and our own place within it.

What is the Flower of Life? A Geometric Perfection
At first glance, the Flower of Life is a figure composed of several overlapping and intersecting circles of the same size. The basic pattern consists of a central circle around which six other circles intertwine, creating a structure that can be reproduced infinitely.
This perfection is not a coincidence. The Flower of Life is considered a visual representation of the fundamental laws of the universe. It is believed to contain the patterns of creation, from the Seed of Life (the first 7 circles) to the Fruit of Life (13 circles), which is the basis of all existing structures, from our DNA to galaxies.
