Where does the golden ratio come from?
The golden ratio has inspired builders and artists since ancient times. It can be found from ancient buildings through Renaissance paintings to contemporary buildings. From nature, it is found in the plant and animal kingdoms, in water in the air in short everywhere! Appointment on this blog for more details.
It is synonymous with growth, wherever life develops it is present. In golden proportions 1 in 1,618, seeing us draw a golden spiral, logarithmic, also called growth spiral.
Growth of life = spiral of growth
Where life develops, that's where we'll see the spiral of growth unfold. It was after attending researcher René Motro's lecture on the golden ratio that I asked myself these questions:
- Could it also work the other way around ?
- Could the growth spiral also stimulate growth ?
- Can such a shape have "energizing" properties for the living?
Spirals of growth in the flower of life
I then became interested in geometries derived from the golden ratio, such as the Platonic solids and the Great Pyramid of Giza . Then I returned to 2D forms with the Flower of Life . This sacred geometry is present in many ancient sites, such as the Temple of Osiris in Egypt, or in the engravings of Leonardo da Vinci.
Plato's solids are found in the flower of life, this gives me a clue ...
Growth and life are intertwined. I arranged several growth spirals on the Flower of Life, and what a surprise! So many points of convergence (6 to 7 per spiral) couldn't be a coincidence. With just 4 spirals, I filled almost all the nodes of the pattern. Growth is in life!
Birth of the growth flower
I start to make discs incorporating this famous spiral.
I gradually designed a pattern comprising five growth spirals, which I decided to call the "growth flower." The number five is part of the Fibonacci sequence (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144...). I later learned that all flowers with five petals are edible.
These models are interesting but a bit long to build.
One variant, one printed model
By gradually testing the vibratory rate of my models, I realize that it grows with the number of spirals and the diameter of the pattern. So I decided to make a PDF version to print, so that everyone can test.
The version I'm offering has 55 spirals and a diameter of 200mm ; it's the 55sD200 model. Feel free to share your feedback in the comments below.

[…] The Platonic solids are particularly interesting shapes from a radiesthetic point of view. The shape wave of these solids emits a vibrational rate that increases with the number of vertices they present. I have added a reproduction of the Great Pyramid of Giza so that you can test its radiation, compared to the five Platonic solids. The proportions of the Great Pyramid of Giza are based on the golden ratio. […]
