The stages of life #thedream
Cycle 4 (21-28)
Can be called process of enlargement and refinement. It is the period that we mentally and emotionally enter into adulthood. We start to build the foundations of our careers and intimate relationships with a driving energy that we hope will gain us entry and respect in the larger world.
We start to experience more life stress and handle it differently. By taking more responsibility for our thoughts and actions. With this added stress we start to internalize it and can begin the disease process. We are not taught to listen to be aware of our body when symptoms arise. This cycle begins more digestive disturbances, we could eat anything we wanted in the prior cycle, but now we start to pay the consequences. We start “using up our stores of essential enzymes that support every function of our body.
Cycle 5 (28-35)
Is one where the creative process of mind becomes most active. Researchers and inventors seem to make their greatest advances during these years. It is interesting to note that physical science finds evidence of the reason for this in the fact that the association centers of the brain come to their peak efficiency at about thirty-five years of age.
Here we take stock of ourselves and the emotional influences that have shaped our personality. We begin to determine what is us and what traits we have been pressured by family, peers or society to adopt. This is also where we begin to process stress differently, either it shows up in our outer world or in our bodies. We experience more aches and pains, lethargy, and headaches. Noticing these symptoms will assist us in supporting our bodies better, through diet, exercise, improve our sleep and self care habits.
Cycle 6 (35-42)
We begin to feel a new restlessness. In some degree a desire to share whatever one has gained through life with others comes to the surface. Thus we find many successful business men building libraries, or aiding colleges and the arts at this period in their life.
This is when we reassess the results of what we are doing externally in our life. Our relationships, careers, habits and the ways we interact are all put under scrutiny and modified or changed. It’s a time of facing up to what does and what doesn’t satisfy us.
