Yoga teaching links the seven major chakras to the seven year time periods. They commence as might be imagined at birth in the Base Chakra and work successively through each of the chakras. Thus there are 49 years (7*7) of unique experiences, each year coloured by a particular chakra. In our 50th year we begin a new seven year cycle, starting again at the Base chakra- but at a higher frequency of energy. This gives us another type of life experience as we begin the next seven-year cycle.
