Our lives are influenced by numerous Rhythms and Routines that occur in the universe, our bodies, our environment and our lives. One important fact to note is that all of these cycles occur in periods of seven. For our purposes we will focus on the One-year Cycle and the Seven-Year Cycles. Consciously or unconsciously our lives and wellbeing are affected by these influences. From the movements of the planets to the cycle of the earth’s seasons, from the moon and the ocean’s tides to our body and even economic cycles, all these rhythms have profound influences on our lives. Each individual human being will experience the influence of these cycles while experiencing his or her personal life cycle. The personal life cycle here refers to each individual’s cycle of birth, growth, maturity to transition or death. Physical cycles The physical body experiences a multitude of cycles in a lifetime, such as sleeping and waking, breathing in and out, blood flow etc. These cycles of the body extend to the smallest cells. Spiritual cycles Underlying these cycles of one’s body are one’s spiritual cycles. As we evolve, we experience a new cycle every day, every year and every seven years, which affect our daily lives and our states of consciousness. Once you understand these cycles, it’s possible to track how your life relates to the different cycles, both within each year and throughout each seven year period of your life. Help yourself by working with your cycles . . . instead of against them!
