Chakra and Life
Chakra and Life
The seven years devlopment life cycle designed to gives a graphic illustration of human
consciousness (awakening chakra) development according to the Vedic Treaties Chakravidya.
The table shows the ideal progression of an individual, but of course, we should also take into
account the specific characteristics of each individual in particular.
However, the general principles are outlined as follows; According to this philosophy, our life
moves in 7 year cycles corresponding with each of the 7 chakra centers located in our light body.
We have one dominant chakra for each cycle, corresponding to each row of the table. In the first 7
years of life (age 1-7) we are influenced by the root chakra, from ages 8-14; the sacral chakra, from
15-21; the solar plexus, and so on and so forth.
Within these 7 year cycles we also climb another 7-chakra ladder (corresponding to the top row of
chakras on our table and the columns they represent) which takes us from the Root chakra to the
Crown Chakra.
These influences affect us (ideally) on a yearly basis. Every cycle begins with fear (the root chakra)
and every cycle ends with spirituality (the crown chakra).
After completing a 7 year cycle, we enter the first stage of our second year cycle. This is our Crisis
Year since the first year of a new cycle is under the influence of the Root Chakra: Fear.
Another noteworthy occasion is when we are under the influence of 2 of the same chakra centers,
this is indicated by the gray boxes in the table.
These are the years that that particular chakra is most dominant in your life. Each chakra in this
table is represented by these key themes associated with each energy center:
