Join us on this fascinating journey where we explore how your body, mind, and spirit evolve every seven years. It’s a scientifically proven fact that we all transform, with our cells rejuvenating and our mental structures shaping up. From infancy all through teenage years to adulthood and then old age, we'll guide you through this mesmerizing seven-year cyclic process. We start off from surmising the effects of physical, emotional, and social development in our immediate surroundings during our first seven years of life. Understand the role of instinct, the criticality of love, protection, and support, and how our inner and mental structures grow during this phase. The session moves onto discussing the years seven through fourteen, a period of rapid physical and psychological autonomy. We elaborate on the development of sexual organs, the emergence of social responsibility and the expansion of a child's unique inner world. As we navigate through the chunk of adolescence, from ages 14 to 21, we unveil the strong emotional and physiological changes that shape us into individuals. Independence becomes our driving force and we start to choose our partners for our own needs, while exploring the world of art, literature, and music. Our journey proceeds towards the years 21 to 28 where mental and emotional refinement set in. We discuss how the physical prowess peaks and we start building the base of our careers and lasting relationships. Then we exegetically explore the phase between the ages of 28 to 35, a time when the creative processes of the mind come to the forefront and the brain reaches its peak. Midlife crisis, personal reinvention, spiritual awakening, and a deeper understanding of life – we cover it all between the ages of 35 to 63. Learn how restlessness sets in or how contentment settles based on life circumstances, and how we find a deeper connection with ourselves. As we reach our final stages, we explore the years from 63 and beyond, discussing growing comfort with life, increased intuition, acceptance, and a stage of passing on knowledge. As one's body ages, we delve into the increased tendency to self-introspect, to see the brighter side of things, and developing deeper connections with the self. To conclude, let us help you to navigate through the critical phases of life, taking you on a journey well-worth listening, be it for self-referential purposes or to comprehend the people around you better. Connect with us to understand how we change, mature, and evolve every moment and every seven years.
