Platonic Solids
Platonic Solids are known as the basic building blocks of life. Our bodies, DNA, music, animals, plant matter, even the universe compose these geometric building blocks. They are perfectly regular, all sides are equal, all the angles are the same and each face is identical to the others. In the corners of these shapes, the exact same number of faces meets.
The ancient Greeks knew about the Platonic solids, and it was Plato who described them in his book Timaeus as being the conception of the world. This is the reason that in today’s age they are known as Platonic Solids.
It is thought that through using these shapes and focusing out intention through them the energy and intent can be increased to help bring health and well being back to an area, or bring harmony into a home or workplace. This is thought to happen as when a stronger vibration is introduced to a weaker one, this weaker energy will be strengthened to vibrate at that of the stronger one.
They are also used to aid meditation, attunements amd healing to name a few.
