If you look carefully, you may notice special patterns in nature—the spiral of a snail shell, the repeating symmetry of a snowflake, the fractal order of flower petals. For thousands of years, people have been ascribing special meaning to them, treating them like parts of a bigger design—a map to the creation of the whole universe. These patterns, along with the meaning ascribed to them, are called sacred geometry.

What Is the Flower of Life?
The flower of life is one of the sacred geometry patterns. It consists of circles overlapping on a triangular grid, where all the circles are placed at an equal distance from each other.
Traditionally, there are seven circles in a flower of life design (in this form, also called the seed of life), but they can be repeated indefinitely. This growing nature of a flower of life is connected to its interpretation—as the circles multiply, the whole shape grows exponentially, like a zygote. Therefore, the flower of life represents the cycle of life, but also unity (many shapes creating a bigger one) and creation itself (the universe growing from a single point).
1. How to Create the Inner Part of a Flower of Life Design
Step 1
Press Control-N to start a new document in Adobe Illustrator with dimensions of 1920 x 1080 px.
![create new document](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/how_todraw_flower_of_life_1.jpg)

![create new document](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/1720115582_359_how_todraw_flower_of_life_1.jpg)
Step 2
Press D to reset the colors to white fill/black outline. Then press / to remove the fill.
![reset the color to default](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/how_todraw_flower_of_life_2.jpg)
![reset the color to default](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/1720115582_44_how_todraw_flower_of_life_2.jpg)
![reset the color to default](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/1720115582_598_how_todraw_flower_of_life_2.jpg)
Step 3
Take the Ellipse Tool (L) and click anywhere in the canvas. Use 250 px for both the Width and Height.
![create an ellipse](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/how_todraw_flower_of_life_3.jpg)

![250 px ellipse](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/1720115583_600_how_todraw_flower_of_life_5.jpg)
Step 4
A circle will appear. Click it to keep it selected, and then go to the Properties panel on the right. Click Horizontal Align Center and Vertical Align Center to move the circle to the center of the canvas.
![align the ellipse to the center](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/how_todraw_flower_of_life_4.jpg)
![align the ellipse to the center](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/1720115583_612_how_todraw_flower_of_life_4.jpg)
![align the ellipse to the center](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/1720115583_569_how_todraw_flower_of_life_4.jpg)
Step 5
In the Appearance section of the Properties panel, set Stroke to 3 pt and Align Stroke to Center.
![change appereance of the ellipse](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/how_todraw_flower_of_life_6.jpg)
![change appereance of the ellipse](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/1720115583_901_how_todraw_flower_of_life_6.jpg)
![change appereance of the ellipse](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/1720115583_931_how_todraw_flower_of_life_6.jpg)
Step 6
With the circle still selected, duplicate it by pressing Control-C to copy and Control-Shift-V to paste in the same place. Then, in the Transform section of the Properties panel, subtract 125
from the Y value. This will move the copied circle 125 px up (that is, half the width of our 250 px circle).
![move circle up](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/how_todraw_flower_of_life_7.jpg)

![circle moved up](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/1720115584_771_how_todraw_flower_of_life_8.jpg)
Step 7
Select the copied circle and repeat the process—duplicate and move it 125 px up.
![move second circle up](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/how_todraw_flower_of_life_9.jpg)
![move second circle up](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/1720115584_450_how_todraw_flower_of_life_9.jpg)

![second circle moved up](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/1720115585_411_how_todraw_flower_of_life_10.jpg)
Step 8
Now we need to continue this vertical series of circles below the middle circle. Select the middle circle, duplicate it the same way as before, and this time add 125
px to its Y value to move it down. Do this twice.
![move third circle down](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/how_todraw_flower_of_life_11.jpg)
![move third circle down](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/1720115585_725_how_todraw_flower_of_life_11.jpg)

Step 9
Now we need to move the copy of the top circle down and to the right, in such a way that its center lands in the side crossing of the first and second circle. We know that we need to move it 62.5 px down (a), and we know that the distance between the centers of the previous circles and the new one will be 125 px (c). So how much do we need to move it to the right (b)? The Pythagorean Theorem gives us the answer: 108.25 px.
![pythagorean theorem](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/how_todraw_flower_of_life_14.jpg)
![pythagorean theorem](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/1720115586_126_how_todraw_flower_of_life_14.jpg)
![pythagorean theorem](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/1720115586_247_how_todraw_flower_of_life_14.jpg)
So let’s do exactly that: duplicate the top circle, and move it down by adding 62.5
px to Y…
![move circle down](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/how_todraw_flower_of_life_15.jpg)
![move circle down](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/1720115586_840_how_todraw_flower_of_life_15.jpg)

![circle moved down](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/1720115587_523_how_todraw_flower_of_life_16.jpg)
Step 10
… then add 108.25
to X to move it to the right.

Step 11
You can create the rest of the circles the same way. Just duplicate the next three circles in the middle column, and move them with the same changes to their values.

Step 12
Now, to quickly create the left column, select all these new circles, duplicate them, and subtract 216.5
(108.25 * 2) from their X value.
![move circles to the left](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/how_todraw_flower_of_life_23.jpg)

Step 13
We can create the last two columns the same way. Duplicate the first three circles from the right column, and add 62.5
to Y…
![move circles down](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/how_todraw_flower_of_life_25.jpg)

Step 14
… and 108.25
to X.
![move circles to the right](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/how_todraw_flower_of_life_27.jpg)

Step 15
You can duplicate this column and move it to the left by subtracting 433
(108.25 * 4) from its X value.

2. How to Create the Outer Part of a Flower of Life
Step 1
Although the flower of life already looks pretty complete, there are “petals” missing in the outermost circles. Let’s add them now! Create a New Layer. Duplicate all the outermost circles to it.
![copy circles to new layer](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/how_todraw_flower_of_life_31.jpg)
![copy circles to new layer](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/1720115593_439_how_todraw_flower_of_life_31.jpg)
![copy circles to new layer](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/1720115593_777_how_todraw_flower_of_life_31.jpg)
Step 2
Set their Stroke to 2 pt for a nice variability in the line width.
![change appereance of the stroke](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/how_todraw_flower_of_life_32.jpg)

Step 3
Select the four “corner” circles and duplicate them—we’re going to need these twice!

Step 4
Move the three circles on the right down and to the right by adding 62.5
to Y and 108.25
to X. Make sure to select them separately by holding the Shift key and clicking them one by one.

Step 5
Do the same with the column on the left, moving it down and to the left by adding 62.5
to Y and removing 108.25
from X.

Step 10
… then duplicate the seven bottom circles and add 125
to their Y.

Step 11
Now, select the five circles on the right, duplicate them, and move them up and to the right by subtracting 62.5
from their Y and adding 108.25
to their X.

Step 12
Do the same with five circles on the left, but this time subtract 108.25
from X instead of adding it.

3. How to Clean Up Your Flower of Life Drawing
Step 1
Let’s clean it all up now! Copy all the circles from the previous layer and paste them on a New Layer on top. Press Shift-X to quickly fill the copied circles.
![select and fill middle circles](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/how_todraw_flower_of_life_62.jpg)

Step 4
Let’s put all these circles inside a big circle. Create a New Layer, take the Ellipse Tool (L) again, and click on the canvas. Use 750 px for both dimensions, and then align the circle to the center of the canvas.
![create new ellipse](https://cdn.idevie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/how_todraw_flower_of_life_67.jpg)

Step 6
Create another circle the same way, this time using 805 px for the dimensions. This isn’t necessary for the flower of life illustration, but it will give it a nice frame.
