Seed: Of Life
You carry the Seed within you. Every breath draws a circle. Every relationship overlaps. Every moment holds a center.

Introduction: The Blueprint of Existence The Seed of Life is one of the most profound and recognizable symbols in sacred geometry. Composed of seven overlapping circles arranged in a symmetrical, flower-like pattern, it appears in temples, manuscripts, and artwork across ancient civilizations—from Egypt to China, from Israel to Japan. Seed of Life
Draw a circle of any radius (e.g., 2 cm). Mark its center O .
Erase outer arcs if desired, leaving only the overlapping petal shapes. You carry the Seed within you
To go from the Seed to the Flower: continue adding circles in the same overlapping pattern until you have a sixfold symmetry of 19 total circles. The Seed of Life is not a relic of the past — it is a living symbol. Whether you approach it as a geometric curiosity, a spiritual tool, an artistic exercise, or simply a beautiful shape, it offers something rare: a visual representation of the unity behind diversity.
Move the compass point to one intersection of circles O and A. Draw a third circle. Mark its center B . Every moment holds a center
Continue moving the compass to each new intersection around the central circle until you have drawn six circles surrounding the original one.
