Living plants, or photos of plants and trees, are an easy way to activate the power of fractals into your home. Plants exemplify the fractal process through the way the leaves grow around the stem and the veining of their leaves. Having natural objects around you that contain fractal geometry helps activate your life force, subliminally yet powerfully.

Another way to bring these forms into your environment is through art. Some modern art contains unintentional fractal geometry Psychiatrist Lewis Wolberg, noting the way that many artists subconsciously create fractal patterns in their work, said that artists ‘may be responding to the same interacting processes that operate in all of creation. As Emerson expressed it in his essay Nature: “Compound it how she will, star, sand, fire, water, tree, man, it is still one stuff, and betrays the same properties.”’4 You can even create your own fractal art by obtaining a fractal program for your computer.

SPIRALS

The swirling movement of rotating down to a centre point and then spiralling back again has fascinated humanity from the most primitive times. In every ancient culture the spiral, which is the natural form of growth and movement, has been man's symbol of the journey to eternal life. The spiral shape was used as a mystic symbol of the soul's quest for liberation. It represented the path winding down into the centre of the Divine.

The spiral is the most ancient and sacred symbol for humankind. In sites around the world spirals have attracted the attention of anthropologists. Drawings of double spirals were carved with care into caves by Stone Age peoples who must have understood the inherent power of the spiral. Although no one is exactly sure of their exact historical meaning, they are thought to be associated with the Great Mother Goddess, the source of all life. Spirals as sacred symbols have been discovered in cultures throughout the world – from ancient stone swirls in Europe, to Islamic arabesque designs, to the interlocking spirals of the Chinese yin yang symbol. They have appeared in sacred art on rock carvings, earth drawings, in various forms in temples and cathedrals, and on pottery, coins, seals, and mosaics.

The spiral has also been associated with the Great Wheel of Life, symbolic of the ever-changing cycles within nature – all of which are represented by and contained in the mystical energy of the spiral. In Cabbalistic tradition the soul spiralled down the Tree of Life to assume a physical presence at the time of birth. It was thought that at death the action was reversed as the soul spiralled upwards again.

The spiral symbol appears in science and nature as well as in sacred art. It describes the spinning of the universe, the revolving movements of the stars and the cosmos. The movement of water, whirlwinds and tornadoes, and even the tiniest spirals of DNA within the nucleus of the cell, all conform to the vortical laws of the spiral.
