Throughout history and across many different cultures and religions (Greek, Egyptian, Asian, Hindu, and Christian to name a few), shapes, symbols and patterns have been apparent not only in carvings and buildings, but also in spiritual and academic teachings, art, and music. Sacred Geometry gives us a visual and mathematical language for understanding the relationship between the parts and the whole of something in nature – from molecular structures and tiny organisms the naked eye can’t see to the complexity of the human body and the cosmos. This framework is built from a set of foundational geometric shapes that give rise to increasingly complex patterns.

Sacred Geometry, then, can be thought of as the mathematical framework that exists throughout nature–including health.

In nature and health, geometry similarly shows us how the parts of a structure are connected to the whole structure: the cells that build up into organs, and then systems, and then a whole human being (or tree, or flower, or mountain lion). You wouldn’t look at a door frame and say “that’s the whole of the house,” and you cannot claim a house is whole without the doors in place. Just as humans use geometry as the mathematical foundation for building things, so does nature. You may also know that geometry provides a foundation (or framework) for building things. You probably learned that geometry is the mathematical expression of relationships between points, lines, angles, surfaces, solids, and multi-dimensional objects. Think back to when you first learned about geometry. So let’s enlighten our perspective to see what Sacred Geometry is all about and how it may enrich our lives. Regardless of your knowledge or experience, you may find the ideas about Sacred Geometry interesting and entertaining to ponder in view of the interconnectedness of nature and health. Perhaps you have heard of Sacred Geometry or maybe this is your first encounter with the concept. These geometric archetypes, known throughout the ages as Sacred Geometry, are found in chemistry, physics, mathematics, physiology, and even in art and music. From the tiniest of microscopic organisms to the complexity of larger life forms and the vastness of the cosmos, in nature there exists a repetition of shapes, structures, and patterns.
