The oldest example can still be seen at the Temple of Osiris at Abydos, Egypt (one of many geometric arrangements of circles found there). The pattern appears in Phoenician art from the 9th century BC. It can also be seen in Assyrian, Indian, Asian, Middle Eastern, and later medieval art. In Israel it can be found in ancient synagogues in the Glilee and in Masada.

This delicate net of overlapping circles arranged in a six-fold pattern is called the "flower of life" because it contains a number of other shapes within its deceptively simple pattern, leading some to call it the "blueprint of creation." By connecting points in the pattern, a multitude of patterns and shapes can be traced, including a tree of Life, pentagram, and various representations of three dimensional objects. The Flower of Life contains a vast Akashic system of information, including templates for the five Platonic Solids.

Within the symbol of The Flower of Life is the blueprint of all creation. Sacred Geometry is a universal language, a visual representation of the unity in Nature and on every level of life. Known as the "language of God", it allows us to access ancient knowledge in our cell memory which has an extremely powerful effect on elevating consciousness, expanding the heart centre and activating transformation on many levels.
