Platonic Solids
The Platonic Solids have been studied for thousands of years. They are named for the Greek philosopher Plato who hypothesized that the classical elements were made of these regular solids. Plato equated the tetrahedron with the “element” fire, the cube with earth, the octahedron with air, the icosahedron with water, the octahedron with air, and the dodecahedron with the stuff of which the constellations and heavens were made. Therefore, one could conclude that all matter in the universe is made of the Platonic solid shapes.

Sacred geometry has existed in many forms across the ages. A topic far too broad for this blog post but explore topics such as “harmony of spheres”, “labyrinths”, “flower of life”, “golden ratio”. You will see there is a vast amount of intriguing information surrounding these shapes in the natural and metaphysical world.
“But What are they FOR?”
Primarily, they are very cool looking, and will look great in your home or on your altar. As far as direct usage, in general we can offer the following: most references to these shapes focus on being in tune with nature, vibrational energy, soul awakening, and awakening. We encourage you to do your own research and see how you can use these shapes in your day-to-day meditations.
