The Flower of Life is a captivating sacred geometry pattern. Though it dates back several centuries it has always existed. Its design is simultaneously simple and intricate. Without words, the Flower of Life speaks ‘quantum energy’ and all that proceeds from that energy: quantum health, quantum mind and quantum beauty. For this reason, PHYTO5 adopts the Flower of Life symbology to depict the quantum energetic nature of its five element lines of skincare (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water).

The composition of the Flower of Life is mathematical.
Sacred geometry holds that mathematical and geometric principles form the foundation of all life forms and structures in the universe. The Flower of Life is considered one sacred geometry’s most important symbols.
The Flower of Life represents the interconnectedness of all living beings and the underlying order of the cosmos. Many believe this powerful symbol contains ancient spiritual wisdom and the secrets of creation.
The Flower of Life consists of multiple evenly-spaced, overlapping circles that form a mesmerizing flower-like pattern.
Look at the dahlia (pictured above) or the seed core of the sunflower blossom closely. These are typical examples of the Flower of Life in nature, repeated within their blossom. The pineapple and pine cone are other good examples.
There are very many examples of the Flower of Life pattern waiting for you notice in nature.
What you’re noticing within the Flower of Life pattern whether it’s in a flower blossom or the graphic representation is the unfolding of the sacred geometry concept of phi or the golden ratio.(1)
Phi appears in architecture, art, technology, virtually everywhere. We find the most inspiring appearances of phi in nature and art.
To see phi in action, notice how plants grow and the Flower of Life pattern unfolds. It’s a repetitive arrangement (called phyllotaxis) of petals, seeds, florets, and some branches.
Where flowers demonstrate the Flower of Life pattern and phi, you will see the rows of petals unfold in what’s known as the Fibonacci sequence. The Fibonacci sequences is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers. The simplest is the series 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, and so on.
Gaze at the Flower of Life pattern and the overlapping circles seem to infinitely repeat themselves. This pattern tells us life goes on forever.
The Flower of Life and Sacred Geometry
The Flower of Life is sometimes called the Genesis Pattern, the Language of Silence and the Language of Light.
The symbol shows us evenly spaced repeating, overlapping circles of equal radii in two-dimensional space. It resembles a mandala(2). The oval-shaped spheres in the Flower of Life form a flower-like pattern with a sixfold symmetry similar to 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 a sacred geometry blueprint representing the primordial desire for completion and unity of self that’s a quantum(3) concept in nature.
Anytime you gaze at the wonder and beauty of a flower, see it as the symbol of creation, beauty and eternal life it is. It depicts the potential of quantum health and healing.
It actually emits quantum energy in its exquisite pattern of boundless elegance. There could be no better symbol to represent PHYTO5’s quantum energetic skincare than the Flower of Life symbol. Their missions and functions are intertwined and the very same.
And just like the nested petals of the rose, the Flower of Life’s ‘petals’ are nested. It blooms too illustrating the first vibratory patterns of the universe. The Flower of Life symbol communicates to you that all things emerge from one perfectly organized quantum pattern.
The Flower of Life speaks quantum energy in health and healing.
For many, the geometric pattern of the Flower of Life represents the essential concept of quantum physics.
Many mathematicians believe that all linguistic languages can be mapped from the sacred geometry of the Flower of Life form. They tell us the Flower of Life visually shows us that language is energetic vibration.
Quantum energy is the subtle energy that permeates all matter and connects everything in the universe. We influence this energy by our thoughts, emotions, and intentions. Quantum energy can play a vital role in our overall well-being.
And PHYTO5 five-element skincare is high vibrational skincare… to beyond skin deep and the level of quantum.
PHYTO5 Swiss Quantum Energetic Skincare harnesses the power of quantum energy. We incorporate the energy of the Flower of Life pattern and vibration into our innovative five-element formulations.
PHYTO5 five-element skincare works to align with the natural rhythms of your body. We want to restore balance and vitality to skin and promote more than outer beauty. Because our skincare is quantum energetic, it creates overall well-being and emotional balance.
Both the Flower of Life symbol and PHYTO5 skincare reminds us of how interconnected all aspects of our being are. They remind us of the infinite healing potential that lies within each of us.
We achieve health and healing in various ways.
First, we may have physical balance where our systems naturally work harmoniously with each other and we enjoy good health.
The next level of health is called high vibrational or potently energetic. This is where vital energy abounds and flows freely in the body. We’re less prone to sickness and disease at this level, but if we become ill, we can venture into the quantum realm for healing (#3).
We achieve the quantum level of health by accessing the higher quantum-spiritual realm as Deepak Chopra describes below. We go there to provoke the true healing response.
PHYTO5’s five element skincare lines are formulated to be quantum energetic. We utilize an unduplicated proprietary method to substantially elevate the vibratory frequency of essential oils of flowers and plants—the quantum frequency range.
This means that, at the very least, you can treat your skin, the largest organ of your body, to the quantum healing vibration and essence.
Remember, we said the Flower of Life illustrates the first vibratory patterns of the universe. These first vibratory patterns are your healing essence. They’ve always been existed within us. It’s just that we forgot this vital truth.
As we dive deep into the mysteries of the Flower of Life and quantum energy, we open ourselves to a world of limitless holistic healing. We can elevate our skincare routine to a transformative self-care ritual while tapping into the profound wisdom of the universe.
The Flower of Life sacred geometry pattern represents the foundational tenets of ancient religious and philosophical sages.
Many believe the Flower of Life pattern depicts the fundamental forms of space and time. Still other scientifically-rooted philosophical groups say it’s the veritable foundation of the universe.
Many present day physicists like Nassim Haramein, founder of Resonance Science Foundation (resonancescience dot org) have resolved quantum theory mathematics to the same geometry as the Flower of Life.
R. Buckminster Fuller’s geodesic dome (nicknamed the ‘Jitterbug’) is an obvious representation of the Flower of Life.
The Flower of Life gives birth to many other sacred geometry forms.
If we connect points in the Flower of Life pattern, we can identify many other sacred geometry forms nested within it.
Metatron’s Cube
Vesica Piscis created by the interaction of two circles.
Tree of Life
Seed of Life
Egg of Life
Fruit of Life
We also find all five platonic solids in the Flower of Life:
tetrahedron with four faces; the pyramid
cube with six faces
octahedron with eight faces
dodecahedron with twelve faces
icosahedron with twenty faces.
Metatron’s Cube within the Flower of Life
Metatron’s Cube is a pattern composed of thirteen circles dating back at least many centuries BCE.
It’s called Metatron’s Cube since in Jewish mysticism or Kabbalah, Archangel Metatron played a crucial role in the creation of the universe. Each of the thirteen circles represents one of the thirteen spheres of the Kabbalah’s Tree of Life.
Vesica Piscis and the Tree of Life
The image of the Tree of Life is nested inside the Flower of Life and so is the Vesica Piscis. The Vesica Piscis forms when the centers of two equal radius circles are placed on each other’s circumferences. Every line in the Tree of Life measures out to either the length or the width of a Vesica Piscis in the Flower of Life.
Leonardo DaVinci was very interested in the Flower of Life and studied its form and mathematical properties. He was intrigued by how the Flower of Life connects physical reality to consciousness.
Da Vinci was known for using the golden ratio of phi in his artwork, also known as the fibonacci spiral. The Fibonacci sequence and spiral derive from the Flower of Life pattern.
The Seed of Life nested within the Flower of Life
In the Seed of Life six circles without exception always fit exactly around a seventh circle of the same size. Similar to the fractal, the number seven also repeatedly appears in spirituality:(4)
seven chakras
seven colors of the rainbow
the heptonic seven-note scale in music.
The Egg of Life nested within the Flower of Life symbol
Adding six additional circles to the Seed of Life you produce the Egg of Life. The Egg of Life is the second iteration in the construction process of the Flower of Life. The Egg of Life represents fertility, new life, and rebirth.
The Fruit of Life nested within the Flower of Life pattern
The Fruit of Life symbol composed of 13 circles is also nested inside the Flower of Life. It’s called the blueprint of the universe because it contains the starting point for the design of every atom, molecular structure, and life form in existence.
Understanding the Flower of Life can help us begin to understand universal creation.
Sacred geometry ascribes symbolic and sacred meanings to certain geometric shapes and proportions.
You only have to look at the Flower of Life one time to know it provides a platform for contemplating creation of the universe. If you contemplate it long enough, you might even find the Flower of Life a source for understanding creation. Think of it as each sphere contained within it is explaining another aspect of reality. And they all interconnect and interrelate.
The Flower of Life symbol is only limited by the circle we draw to frame it. Left unframed, it radiates into infinity in both directions—inward and outward. No wonder it represents creation of the universe.
The Flower of Life is prevalent in history and culture.
The Flower of Life has always fascinated artists, scientists, and philosophers alike. Its exquisite precision and harmony hold significant meaning across various cultures and spiritual practices. By integrating the Flower of Life symbols into their art, architecture, and spiritual practices they feel more able to connect with higher consciousness and divine energy.
The temple of Osiris at Abydos in Egypt contains the Flower of Life imagery carved in granite. This is completely appropriate since Osiris was the God associated with immortality and the afterlife.
The Phoenicians, Assyrians, people of India, Asia and the Middle East all knew about the Flower of Life. And they featured it in their art. Eventually the Flower of Life made its way into medieval art too.
You Are the Flower of Life.
Today, the Flower of Life is used as a focus point for study and meditation. The Flower of Life's intricate design and harmonious structure resonate with quantum energy frequencies.
By meditating on or simply observing the Flower of Life, you can intensify your connection to this universal energy field. You might even feel and experience a sense of balance, harmony, and alignment.
All objects and creatures in our tangible world are believed to have emerged from the Flower of Life sacred geometrical essence. We are products of its higher intelligence, consciousness and vibration.
While the Flower of Life symbol connects all individual souls within the web of life, the universal concept of ‘as above, so below’ applies here.
You yourself are the microcosmic aspect of the Flower of Life pattern.
We emerge from our mother’s sacred womb as repeating fractals of humanity. Humanity is constantly replicating itself just like the Flower of Life pattern.
And this pattern is encoded in the deepest recesses of the human body. We can access its creative nature in the quiet places of our beings—the junction point between mind and matter. This is the quantum realm the Flower of Life represents.
And it’s where true healing begins.
We invite you to explore PHYTO5’s quantum energy formulated five lines of skincare. No one else is doing what we do.

Endnotes:
Golden ratio is the ratio of a larger to a smaller quantity when this is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities (i.e. 1 to about 1.618), describing a geometric proportion that is considered to be particularly pleasing to the eye.
Mandala: a geometric figure representing the universe and the search for completeness and self-unity; a symbolic meta-geometric circle used by Buddhists in meditation, 1859, from Sanskrit mandala "disc, circle;” adopted 20c. in Jungian psychology as a symbol of unity of the self and completeness.
Quantum: the smallest discreet quantity of some physical property that a system can possess
Fractal: "never-ending pattern," 1975, from French fractal, ultimately from Latin fractus "interrupted, irregular," literally "broken," past participle of frangere "to break" (from PIE root *bhreg- "to break"). Coined by French mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot (1924-2010) in "Les Objets Fractals.”
