Today, I want to share my journey into something that sounds fancy, but is actually pretty cool and easy to get into: the “Tree of Life” and the “Flower of Life.” I started this a few weeks ago, not really knowing what to expect, but it turned into a really interesting project.
First, I decided to get my hands on the Flower of Life. I found it is a symbol that’s all about how everything is connected, like a big, complicated web. It represents creation, unity, oneness, duality, and the cycle of life. I’m not going to lie, this part was a bit confusing at first, but I figured the best way to understand it was to start drawing it. I grabbed a compass and some paper, and just started with a simple circle. Then, I drew another circle overlapping the first one, and before I knew it, I had this intricate pattern that looked like a bunch of flowers all linked together.

- Started with a circle.
- Added more circles, overlapping each other.
- Ended up with a flower-like pattern.
Next up was the Tree of Life. This one is like a part of the Flower of Life, but it stands out on its own. I found the same likeness. The tree of life represents the afterlife, and connection between the earth and heaven. Some people even see it as a map of the mind or the universe. In Celtic culture, it’s a big deal. They see it as a connection to their ancestors and another world. I drew this within the Flower of Life pattern I had already made. It was like connecting the dots in a way that made a tree shape. It represents the afterlife, and the connection between the earth and heaven. Pretty deep stuff, huh?
- Found the Tree of Life within the Flower of Life.
- Drew it by connecting circles to form a tree.
- Realized it symbolizes life, the universe, and everything in between.
Putting It All Together
The real fun started when I began to see how these two things were related. The Flower of Life is like this big picture of everything, and the Tree of Life is a part of that picture. I spent a few evenings just drawing and redrawing these patterns, and each time, I felt like I understood a little bit more. It was like piecing together a puzzle, but also a bit like meditation. I learned that some people use these symbols to manifest their desires by tapping into the universe’s energy, and some even use them for protection.
By the end of it, I had a bunch of drawings that, honestly, looked pretty awesome. But more than that, I felt like I had gone on a little journey. I started with just drawing circles, and I ended up thinking about the universe and our place in it. It was a good reminder that sometimes, just doing something simple can lead you to think about some really big ideas.
So, that’s my story about diving into the Tree of Life and the Flower of Life. It was a cool mix of art, a bit of history, and some deep thoughts. If you’re looking for a new project that’s a bit different, I’d definitely recommend giving this a try. Who knows what you might discover?
