The term ‘sacred geometry’ refers to various shapes and forms that have been used traditionally in art, architecture and meditation for thousands of years. These same shapes and forms are also found in natural organisms.
Sacred geometry can appear somewhat esoteric, but a basic understanding of sacred geometry can provide a helpful way of viewing our world that you can use in your own life.
What is sacred geometry?
Ancient cultures, including Christians, Hindus, Greeks and Egyptians, recognized that certain patterns or geometric shapes are repeated throughout nature. For instance, the cells of a honeycomb are hexagons, and a snail’s shell is a spiral.
These common patterns and shapes came to be known as sacred geometry. They were further broken down into various numbers, mathematical formulas and specific symbols that the ancients believed were the building blocks for everything in the universe.
Modern science supports this theory. It’s been found that the molecular shapes that form the basis of life are in fact many of the same patterns identified by ancient cultures.
Knowledge of these sacred symbols and mathematical formulas allowed the construction of many historical buildings, such as the great pyramids of Egypt, the Greek Parthenon and the intricate temples found throughout South and Central America.
Significant Shapes and Numbers
The sphere is considered a container that can hold all forms. It represents oneness, inclusion and integrity as all measurements are equal in a sphere. Planets, seeds, cells and atoms are all spheres.
A circle is a two-dimensional representation of a sphere. It is thought to show the unity and total completeness of the universe. Also, the ratio of the circumference of a circle compared to its diameter is called Pi, which is an infinite number that never ends and never repeats.
The center of a sphere or circle contains a point. All measurements either begin or end at a point, so it is typically associated with the beginning and ending of any type of creation.
Many types of spirals exist, such as flat, 3-D, right- or left-handed, equi-angular and logarithmic. Perhaps the most well-known spiral is the shape of a nautilus shell. All types of spirals show expansion and growth and therefore symbolize infinity.
