What does the symbol of eternal life look like? Ankh: the meaning of the symbol

The history of the ancient world, as a rule, is beginning to be studied from the very first civilizations, which were established in valleys of mighty rivers. And the most mysterious country is Egypt. It is here, in the delta of the deep Nile, for many thousands of years built the first pyramids, erected a mysterious Sphinx, successfully treated many diseases and had profound knowledge in various spheres of life. And today many scientists are amazed at the high level of science in the country of the pharaohs, and the mystics once again assure that modern people do not even know half of what was known to the priests of Amun, Ra and Osiris.

Egyptian cross ankh

If we talk about the ancient Egyptian symbols, then the first thing that comes to mind is ankhkh. It is not only the oldest sign of humanity, but also the most universal, because it was used everywhere. He combines two magic symbols - a cross and a colo, denoting a mystical transition, a kind of portal from one world (space) to another, and infinity, eternity. That's why esotericists consider ankhkh to be a symbol of life and immortality. And, I must say, many believe in its amazing power.

What does the symbol of eternal life look like? Probably, there is no person who does not know this. But if the reader refers to this small group, then we will tell. At first glance, this is an ordinary cross, but in place of the upper ray is a loop (eyelet). Surely, many have repeatedly seen something similar, just did not know the true name of such a symbol. Those who have never really encountered images of the aforementioned sign, we propose to see what ankhkh looks like. Photo with him is filed below.

Each part of ankhna has its own meaning:

• The vertical ray, which is directed to the sky, displays the earthly path of man.
• The horizontal line is a horizon, a kind of boundary that a mere mortal should not violate.
• The ear symbolizes the sky, that is, the place where you can join eternity.
• The intersection place is the most important in the symbol, since it is considered a point of concentration of energy.

Symbolism of the Egyptian cross

How does the symbol of eternal life look like, we have already told. Now let's talk about the hidden essence of this sign. The most common meaning of it is the life of man, god, the universe. But also this is the key to knowledge, explicit and secret, the key to wisdom, power, power. Some Egyptologists argue that the Ankh is the unity of the male and female principles, their harmonious fusion, the union of opposites. They believe that the lower part of the sign is a symbol of the stronger sex, and the upper one is a weak one. However, this is not all the symbolism hidden in the Egyptian cross with such a sonorous name - ankh. Its meaning is quite multifaceted, which, however, is not surprising, because this is a very ancient sign. And the ancients could not ignore such concepts as immortality and future life, therefore it can still be safely considered the Egyptian form of the Tree of Life.

Application in antiquity

So, the Egyptian symbol of eternal life is called "ankh". This word is short, like a sigh. The hieroglyph that denoted it was part of the words "happiness" and "welfare." It is not surprising that people believed and now believe that a "cross with a hilt" can turn their life into a fairy tale. At the time of the pharaohs, it was depicted everywhere: on the walls of tombs and temples, on amulets, in dwellings and even on household utensils. As a native amulet, such a cross was worn on the neck by the sick, and the deceased ruler was put into his mouth. It was believed that ankhkh helps with infertility, because it is a symbol of the prolongation of life, the divine fusion of Osiris and Isis.

And, of course, the Egyptian symbol of eternal life used the privileged members of society - priests and rulers. Pharaohs are often imprinted with ankhkh, which served as a kind of antenna for communicating with the gods and declaring their will to the people.

The key of Thoth

What a symbol of the eternal life of the ancient Egyptians looks like, you can still see today. In 2002, a certain Glushenkov Konstantin Petrovich (master in the field of NLP, body-oriented therapy, suggestive linguistics, breathing techniques) discovered, purified and collected an ankh that was lost (or hidden) seven thousand years before the birth of Christ. Presumably, earlier this "key of the Nile" ("the ribbon of life", the "knot of life" - other names of the ankhas) belonged to the god Tot (Hermes, Hermes Trismegistus) and had very wide application. For example, with its help, improved metabolism, resetting the immune system, rejuvenated the body.

Ankh and weight loss

For many purposes, Glushchenkov KP recommends using ankh. Its significance and influence on our body is very great. For example, a person will help to lose weight naturally, without harming the body. After all, the Egyptian cross expels fat from cells, and it is in the place where it is necessary. Without the miracle means (tablets, drinks, diets or intensive sports), the weight and shape of the body changes, the immune system normalizes, which automatically maintains the new state of the body. Together with excess fat, toxins go away, a person gets rid of stress, mental disorders and many inferiority complexes.

Exercises from Glushenkov KP "The Second Birth"

Respiratory gymnastic exercises "Ankh", developed by the scientist, allow the body to recall the state at the time of birth, when cells are working intensively on growth and development. It needs only 8-10 seconds to complete, but the result will surprise you.

So, get up early in the morning, putting your feet together. The room must be cool. Close your eyes, focus on your breathing: breathing in must be done with your nose, exhalation with your mouth. Breathe as much air as possible, exhale it, completely relaxing and crouching in the embryo pose (sitting neck). On exhalation, pronounce the sound of "AAAA" until the air in the lungs is over. When the exhalation is over, you can assume that you have become a legendary vulture that must save the earth by pushing the sun away from it. Do not inhale air, straighten the lungs, strongly draw in the diaphragm, stand up sharply and throw our arms out to the sides. A little bend, straining every muscle, as if lifting the heavenly body, making great efforts. Imagine that you fly very fast, like a stream of wind, and say "H". Does the body literally require a breath of fresh air? Suffer! First exhale with your mouth, saying "KH" and then inhale. Exhale "KH" again and inhale. Everything, you can open your eyes.

The entire exercise takes about eight seconds, holding the breath - four. If you do everything right, you will feel a surge of energy, strength, mood will improve instantly. It's like a rebirth

Choose an amulet

Learning how the symbol of the eternal life of ancient Egypt looks like and what its impact on man is, many want to wear an ankh as an amulet. Well, as they say, the owner is a master. However, it is worth noting that the Christian church does not recognize all sorts of magic symbols, charms, etc. It reveres only the cross on which Jesus was crucified, and considers its other species as demonic, denying their positive power and energy.

But if you still want to wear this sign on your chest, then know that the ankh can be different. There are the Egyptian cross of death (without a vertical crossbar), immortality (full cross with an oval) and classical - the symbol of life (the loop has the shape of the right circle). Wrong application of the amulet can do much harm.

The easiest way to buy an anchor in the form of a suspension in Egypt itself. Where, where, and in the Nile valley they know how to make this amulet so that its power positively influences the life of a person. Well, the ancient inhabitants of the country of the pharaohs could wear an amulet in the form of bracelets, rings, earrings, figurines, his images were decorated with clothes. Of the materials used to make such things, they usually chose a blue-green stone (aspid, nephrite, turquoise), golden alabaster, black basalt. Today the symbol of eternal life is made of metal, bone, wood, but from this, as the esotericists believe, its strength does not become less.

Instead of an afterword

Ancient and universal symbol "Ankh" can be worn by every person. The sign will ensure its prosperity and health, will give good luck in all endeavors. And it's worth buying those who wish to conceive a healthy child or those who are about to become a parent (the Egyptian cross is also seen as a sign of procreation). Such an amulet will be the best gift not only for people who are fond of history, magic, esotericism, but also for all who are not indifferent to the riddles of the past, hidden under the dust of centuries.
