Flower of Life

The Flower of Life is a geometrical figure composed of multiple evenly-spaced, overlapping circles that are arranged so that they form a flower-like pattern with six fold symmetry like a hexagon. The center of each circle is on the circumference of six surrounding circles of the same diameter.

The Flower of Life symbol is over six thousand years old. Throughout human history, philosophers, artists, and architects around the world have known the Flower of Life for its perfect form, proportion, and harmony. It is considered to be a symbol of sacred geometry, said to contain ancient, religious value depicting the fundamental forms of space and time.

The flower of life in the context of the healing centre should provide a guide to the resulting new forms and to the division of space to subtly embody this underling pattern information.

The Flower of Life overlay to the existing architecture reveals the touch points of the overlapping circles, revealing energy 'hotpots' and positions for naturally occurring flow of consciousness , inward and outward.

All consciousness is based upon sacred geometry, the flower of life symbol represents this form in 2 dimensions on paper , but it is really 3 and 4 and 5 dimensional and is the basis of how vibration, sound, harmonics, music, and matter are interrelated.

The beginning of all other geometrical forms is the Vesica Pisces; two circles interlocking at precise points.

"Symbolically two is a portal between Unity and the rest of all the numbers and geometries. The vesica shape is called "Ru" or Rus" in Egyptian hieroglyphics, which meant sacred door of light , gate or mouth . The vesica is thus a symbol for the sacred opening to the inner sanctum of the female temple ...the rose gold mandorla gateway to the Mysteries of the Temple of the Open Heart." (p.106; expert from The 13 Moon Oracle by Ariel Spilsbury)

It became evident which way the orientation of the opening or entrance for the centre should become.

It was also interesting that the cross points of the flowers naturally became points for the mediation area at the front, the centre or heart of the healing space which is the waiting area , and the void space between practitioners and the yoga/seminar room at the back. Again the points between the joins became openings , passage ways , doorways and flow for energy .
