What is Sacred Geometry?
"The harmony of the world is made manifest in form and number, and the heart and soul and all the poetry of natural philosophy are embodied in
the concept of mathematical beauty." - Sir D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson (1860-1948, Scottish zoologist.) ”
What makes Geometry Sacred?
Take the analogy of a young child learning to read his/her first words. What were simply "A, B, C's" at first, suddenly reveal a
meaning that, up until that point, they knew only by the spoken word. Likewise, we can reach an understanding that the circle,
square, triangle, etc. are actually a letter-like "code" according to which everything in the universe has been constructed, whether it
is a quartz crystal, a sunflower or your human heart. The dawn of this idea in human consciousness revealed an underlying
intelligence within the structure of everything. Sacred geometry starts with the underlying unity of all things.

Perhaps, for the first
time, we hear in it a voice, thundering from all sides that says, "I want to talk to you." In that moment, our feeling breaks through
the confines of our skin and our sense of self expands outward to infinity, as if we had stepped into the space occupied by the Great
Pyramid for a private conversation with the architect of this reality.
History
How far back this idea goes we can't be certain but it is found in the mandalas and sacred circles of cultures all over the world. The
ancient Egyptian culture goes back at least several thousand years and is a vast storehouse of sacred geometrical artifacts. They
ascribed this knowledge to Thoth/Hermes, the architect of their civilization. Thoth is considered the author of the ancient book, The
Emerald Tablet, and the whole hermetic tradition of alchemy stemming from it. It is not known if he is also the author of The
Egyptian Book of the Dead, or more accurately, the Book of the Master of the House of Hidden Places, but it is a perfect allegorical
description of the geometry of the Great Pyramid.

The precision of this geometrical wonder of the world intrigues scholars to this
day, some of whom have found convincing evidence that it accurately predicts 2000 years of history down to our own day.
Yet, even in the middle of this North American continent, that same geometrical and astronomical knowledge was applied by the
Skidi band of the Pawnee in great detail to their daily life.
iii
Throughout Europe, prehistoric stone megaliths attest to the importance
of this knowledge. When medieval Europeans began the construction of the great cathedrals, they relied on this same geometrical
wisdom. Existing energy vortexes on specific earth ley lines were chosen for the location of each cathedral. In addition to the
precise geometry of their construction, the architects also inscribed labyrinths in their floors.

Walking a labyrinth brought the mind
into a meditative state of rest, creating a serene space for truth and inspiration to enter.
Besides encoding his works with closely guarded secrets, Leonardo DaVinci reveals in his "canon of man" that he was aware of the
geometrical field of energy surrounding the human body, known as the "Merkaba," (see illustration above) "auric field," or "light
body."
v
How it works
Using DaVinci's canon, all of the five Platonic solids that perfectly divide a circle can be found in the human energy field. Every
form in the world derives from one of these geometrical solids. One such form, the tube torus, describes the pattern of the seven
muscles of the human heart, from which an electromagnetic field of energy extends outward as much as 8 feet.
vi
Modern science has
found these forms even at the subatomic level within the Periodic Table of the Elements.
vii
Just as our body needs a skeletal form as
a framework for its life, so these geometrical shapes represent the energetic pathways of light that support the appearance of
everything physical. Sacred geometry displays "the unfolding of number in space."
viii
How else do we explain the numerical
correspondence between the I Ching, the Mayan code, and our own DNA, discovered by three separate civilizations at different
points in time?
ix
This is a language that transcends all linguistic and cultural barriers revealing a perfection that exists in the whole
world and in each one of us, without regard to prejudice or opinion.
Why use it?
The beauty of this geometrical perfection has been made abundantly clear in the work of Dr. Masaru Emoto with frozen water
crystal photography.

What is even more significant is that his work demonstrates the power of the human mind to creatively
enhance the environment through the use of appropriate intentions and affirmations. This is confirmed by the work of quantum
physicists, who recognize the existence of a unified field underlying reality. This field responds to human thought as well as human
DNA. We now know from new research in the field of biology that DNA has receptors for light and other forms of energy, including
the chemicals generated by human feelings and emotions.
xi
This startling fact tells us that our perceptions, thoughts and feelings can
change both the biosphere and our own human biology. Out of such an understanding, Feng Shui developed as an applied form of
sacred geometry that is now used to balance the energy of office, home and garden, in order to reduce stress and increase feelings of
harmony. The matrix in which we live is susceptible to the power of the individual to change it, provided we follow the rules of
design upon which it is built. Sacred geometry is the design system used by the universal mind that is the architect of this system,
and the way in which that mind communicates with us so that we may recognize our ability to participate in this process, which is
what The Emerald Tablet told us in the beginning.
Application
Our life is a complex interplay of macroscopic forces working at a microscopic level. We have a choice as to where to apply our
efforts to direct this vast array, as well as what tools to use in the process. By selecting the tools of sacred geometry, you make the
choice to work at the design level, where the structure is created, rather than at a superficial level. Whether you wish to address
changes in your body, soul, or spirit, sacred geometry has appropriate tools for you. It is the Architecture of In-Lightenment™,
helping you to become the architect of your own life, in full freedom.
Each of our products has been infused with the power of sacred geometry. Every geometrical form has been created from Sho'ena's
unique ability to perceive these living, radiating light figures, and express them artistically. We make these available to you in a
variety of products to suit your application: art prints, engraved healing earth acupuncture stones (H.E.A.R.D.™), grids for earth ley
lines and various forms of emf, geofused™ essential oils, herbal elixirs, and drinking water. We also have CDs that contain
expressions of sacred geometry in chants and meditations, as well as a line of jewelry, crystals and gemstones energized through
their geometrical forms.
