From: sacred-texts dot com:
What the sun is to the solar system, the spirit is to the bodies of man... Man's three bodies are symbolized by an upright triangle; his threefold spiritual nature by an inverted triangle. These two triangles, when united in the form of a six-pointed star... These triangles symbolize the spiritual and material universes linked together.
This blog (by Zeev Barkan) is dedicated to the Star of David, its history, its various meanings and usages in different cultures. It includes thousands of pictures of Star of David, six-pointed stars, hexagrams, Solomon's Seals, Magen Davids and yellow badges,and served as a resource for three books and four art exhibitions.

Human Skeleton, Mechanical Explanation
Moshe Gorelik, Israeli teacher of Marshall arts and inventor of ISAI, self-defense and healing art, found three Star of David shapes in the Human skeleton, and he explained them to me according to mechanics, without any mystical mambo jumbo:
- Hip bone: leg bones press the earth and a counter force flow from the earth to the hip bones, which are lying (In males) at an angle of about 60 degrees, and form an equilateral triangle. The opposite triangle comes from the pelvis, where the vectors accumulate to the fifth copula, which is the erect body’s center of gravity.
- Chest: when you raise your hands vectors accumulate to the chest Tan Tien while the ribs create the opposite triangle.
- Jaws.
