What is the meaning of Sacred Geometry?

Sacred Geometry is related to an area of the mathematical study of geometric shapes, geometry. These shapes and studies were widely employed in the construction of temples and divine cathedrals and are also widely used in art.

But far beyond buildings and art, Sacred Geometry is seen by philosophers and mathematicians as the symbolism of the divine. When we observe everything that exists in the Universe, it is possible to notice the presence of this concept everywhere.

These geometric shapes are part of the shape of everything in nature: plants such as fern, sunflower, among others, and is even present in the genetic code of human beings. In the arts, this concept can be seen, for example, in the Monalisa and also in the staircases of the Vatican Museums, a spiral that follows the Golden Proportion.

In this article you can understand more about Sacred Geometry, understanding several concepts about it, such as its symbols and how to use them to your benefit.

Understanding Sacred Geometry

Sacred Geometry is part of almost everything that exists on our planet, plants, buildings, human and animal DNA, among other things.

In this excerpt of the article you will learn a little about the origin and history of Sacred Geometry, the mathematical patterns found in nature, and how to apply Sacred Geometry in various situations.

Origin and history

Sacred Geometry has its origins still in Ancient Egypt, because it was in this period that the measurement systems were created and were used to delimit the territories after the annual floods of the Nile River.

Various cultures realized that there was a repetition of geometric patterns throughout nature. The Christian, Hindu, Greek and Egyptian peoples also discovered that there was a connection between the elements of Earth and Heaven following these patterns.

After studies by modern science, it has been proven that there are sacred geometric patterns in molecular shapes, which are the basis of everything that has life in our Universe.

Mathematical patterns in nature

Geometric (mathematical) patterns are present in everything, from the formation of an atom to galaxies, flowers and animals. The harmony of natural forms among themselves has a specific vibration, and the frequency of this vibration is what sustains the balance of the universe.

Thus, with the constructions in straight forms of our contemporary civilization, the human being has been conditioned to vibrate in a frequency dissonant from his nature, which causes fatigue and deficiency of the immune system, which can cause diseases. This vibrational separation from nature leads the human being to have psychological and physical problems.

Mathematical patterns in antiquity

The natural proportions, mathematical or geometrical patterns were known since the time of Ancient Greece and Egypt. These peoples used Sacred Geometry in the construction of their temples. These patterns were also used in the constructions of the medieval times and even before this period.

So that this knowledge would not be lost during the Middle Ages, there was the creation of the Freemasonry, which also had the intention of protecting its members from the inquisition. The term Freemason in French means mason, and masonry is the term used in English as the name of the construction technique with bricks and mortar.

How to apply Sacred Geometry?

Despite the distance that modern constructions have imposed on the human being from his nature, it is possible to use the proportions of Sacred Geometry in existing objects in everyday life, bringing its benefits to your emotional and physical health.

One way to benefit from Sacred Geometry is to be in the middle of nature and contemplate plants and flowers. However, decorating the house with pictures of plants and landscapes or even with constellations and geometric shapes such as Platonic Solids (learn more about them along the text) is also very beneficial.

Forms of Sacred Geometry

Sacred Geometry has numerous forms of representation in nature and in various constructions of antiquity.

In this part of the article you will understand some of these forms as the Golden Proportion, the Flower of Life, Metatron Cube, Mandala among other symbols with these patterns.

Golden Ratio

It is quite common to find the Golden Ratio in nature. It is a form of measurement also known as the Golden Number, Golden Number or Golden Section. The coefficient that represents this standard is 1.618.

The Golden Ratio is found when, for example, when drawing a rectangle, and then drawing a square within it, the remaining area will result in a second rectangle that is proportional to the larger rectangle.

The formula to arrive at the Golden Ratio number is a : b = a + b : a = 1.618.

There is also the Fibonacci Sequence, which is a series of numbers that follows a pattern. This sequence is formed by adding one number to the previous number.

The Fibonacci Sequence is: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144 and goes on infinitely.

So: 0 + 1 = 1; 1 + 1 = 2; 2 + 1 = 3...

Dividing these numbers, from 1, by the previous one, will result in numbers close to 1.618.

Thus: 1 : 1 = 1; 2 : 1 = ; 3 : 2 = 1.5; 5 : 3 = 1.6666; 8 : 5 = 1.6; 13 : 8 = 1.625...

Flower of Life

The Flower of Life appeared when it was discovered that the repetition of circles form rings that remind images of flowers. It represents the opportunity to leave past consciousnesses, moments of suffering from the understanding of these events and, in this way, be able to conquer realizations finding the consciousness of the present.

The way the Flower of Life is formed creates a kind of DNA chain, with information from everything that exists in the Universe.

Metatron Cube

The Metatron Cube is associated with the Flower of Life and Plato's Solids, so it is also a form of Sacred Geometry. It is also associated with the Archangel Metatron, who was often mentioned in Judeo-Islamic texts and in Christianity.

The Angel Metatron is seen as possessing great powers, since he was the representation of a link between God and humanity. Thus, his cube is the symbolism of the sacred, a connection between the whole universe. The Metatron Cube is also a symbol of creativity.

Mandala

The Mandala, another object that symbolizes the Sacred Geometry and the Universe, is formed by the junction of geometric elements that are the representation of the Cosmos. It is widely used as a way to guide thoughts.

Its shape is a perfect circle, the main representation of Sacred Geometry and is also linked to the Flower of Life. It is known as the key element to the deeper understanding of creation and the cycle of life.

Other symbols

There are other symbols that are linked to Sacred Geometry, the circle is one of them, which universally represents completeness, perfection and eternity. It is considered an element very close to God.

The other element that represents Sacred Geometry is the triangle, symbol of the trinity of gods, and representation that is part of Christian, Hindu, Egyptian and Babylonian cultures. The pyramids of Egypt, in the shape of a triangle, were tombs for the pharaohs and sacred places for the Egyptians, and the Mayan pyramids, which also have this shape, were built according to astral cycles.

Platonic Solids of Sacred Geometry

The Platonic Solids in Sacred Geometry are associated with the elements of alchemy: fire, earth, water, air and ether, and they can be used to help restore balance to people.

Below you will know what the Platonic Solids are and understand the elements that each one is associated with and how they can help in the balance of each person.

Tetrahedron

The Tetrahedron is linked to the element of fire, a pointed figure that can be related to the heat of fire and has the hot, Yang energy. This figure is also associated with spiritual development and unconditional love.

When people are discouraged, feeling weak, with low immunity, it is indicated to do a meditation or elixir with a tetrahedron. But it should not be used when people are feeling angry or when they are angry.

Hexahedron

The Hexahedron is related to the earth element, and is responsible for providing soft and stable energy. It is also associated with giving, for just as the Earth gives us all her natural riches, the Hexahedron teaches people to act in a way that maintains the well-being of the planet.

Meditation done next to a Hexahedron helps bring stability to people and helps even when they are scattered and disconnected from reality.

Octahedron

The figure of the Octahedron is associated with the element air, so it is seen as a light form and is used in the shape of homemade balloons. It represents mental development because it helps to have a better understanding about the reality of being and the laws of the Universe.

The Octahedron should be used in meditation at times when the person needs to improve his memory, his reasoning ability or when he seeks to give a more efficient meaning to his life. This figure should not be used by those who already have difficulty understanding feelings and intuitions.

Dodecahedron

This geometric figure is connected with the cosmos and represents the empty space where the celestial stars are, also being related to the element ether. The Dodecahedron is associated with the awakening of consciousness of people, both individually and collectively.

This figure can be used when the individual wants to make a connection between the material and spiritual plane, and can also help give a higher meaning to their day to day activities. It is not recommended to use this figure for people who have difficulty being practical.

Icosahedron

The Icosahedron is related to the element of water, representing fluidity and impermanence. This geometric shape has a connection with individual, environmental and interpersonal energy balance. It helps purify people, enabling them to benefit from positive energies.

By meditating with the Icosahedron, people free themselves and their homes of stagnant and heavy energies, thus bringing fluidity to their lives. This figure should not be used when people are cheerless or insecure.

How to use Platonic Solids

You learned about the forces and energies transmitted by the Platonic Solids and the benefits they bring to your life. In addition, you also understood which elements of alchemy are related to each of the solids.

Below you will understand how Platonic Solids can be used to improve your vibrations and also the environments you use in your daily life.

Personal use

Platonic Solids can be used in the preparation of elixirs, for this, use cut crystals in the desired geometric shape. Wash your crystal in running water for a few seconds, and then leave it in the sun for two hours.

Then, place the crystal in a glass of mineral or filtered water and leave it immersed for one hour, when it will be ready for consumption. If you want to make a liter of water, leave the crystal overnight and consume it the next day. It is recommended to use the solid made of colorless quartz.

Another way to receive the benefits of Platonic Solids is during meditation, visualizing the image of your chosen geometric figure for a few minutes until you feel energized.

Use in environments

Learn some ways to use Platonic Solids in environments like your home or office.

Like the elixirs, the crystals for environments should also be washed in running water and placed in the sun weekly.

Other applications

It is possible to use the energies of the Platonic Solids to reprogram the energies of the environment, by combining the crystals with the radionic table. In this method the combination of several crystals in a variable order is done, like a pendulum.

It is also possible to program the crystal to be used permanently in each environment, and thus energize the home or office with a defined and programmed goal.

Is Sacred Geometry the key to enlightenment?

Sacred Geometry is a mathematical and also esoteric method that leads to the investigation and observation of the Universe, and thus illuminates and brings the mystical to you. In this way, it invites each individual to change their way of seeing the world and people.

There are countless elements and objects that help energize your spirit through Sacred Geometry and lead people to a more balanced and happier life. Now, whenever you look at something in nature, you will remember that its formation is connected to Sacred Geometry and the Golden Ratio.

We hope that this text has helped you to understand a little more about Sacred Geometry, the Golden Ratio and its representation, as well as its benefits for your life.
