Platonic Solids

About

More Info Platonic solids (sacred geometries) are the only geometric shapes where the same number of sides meet at each vertex with the same angle. These five shapes are: tetrahedron, hexahedron (cube), octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron. These crystals are used for meditation and metaphysical healing. Brief history of Platonic Solids These shapes are referred to as regular polyhedra, meaning closed shapes that are composed of angles, faces, and edges that are all congruent. These structures are everywhere. Even microscopic organisms such as algae, snowflakes, and crystalline structures may have one of these shapes. The exact origins of the Platonic Solids remain unknown to this day, but they were first introduced by Plato in his work Timaeus sometime in 350 BCE. According to the philosopher, all forms of matter (earth, air, fire, water, and ether) are represented by five elemental solids. These are the cube (also called the hexahedron), the octahedron, the tetrahedron, the icosahedron, and the dodecahedron. The Platonic Solids carry unique vibrations that provide balance and wholeness. How do Platonic Solids work? Platonic Solids help address internal and external problems by tapping on the power sources of creation and manifesting a new life. As you work with the solids, you allow yourself to become the channel of energy through which a new and better reality will take place. The solids are said to liberate you from your present problems and help you transition to your evolved state. Think of them as switches that you flick to activate a new reality. Cube - Work with the cube when you are living or working in a rowdy or disorderly environment. The shape transmits stability and control to reduce physical, mental, and emotional tensions. It replaces negative energies with a sense of groundedness and positive attitude. The cube is also believed to heal back, skeletal, and kidney problems. Octahedron - The octahedron consists of eight triangular faces and is li
