A few months ago, I met with a couple who’d been together just over seven years.
They loved each other deeply. They’d done therapy. Read the books. They were committed to growth.
But they kept getting pulled into the same loop: Small tensions that spiraled into shutdown, withdrawal, or disconnection.
One of them finally said: “It’s like we’ve outgrown who we were... but we don’t know how to move forward.”
And I said something I’ve found myself saying more and more lately:
“That makes sense. It’s a seven-year cycle.”
The Body Knows. The Soul Remembers.
In nearly every spiritual tradition — Judaism, astrology, Traditional Chinese Medicine, yogic philosophy — the number 7 marks a turning point.
A death and a rebirth. A crossing over. A chance to grow into a deeper version of who you are…and who you’re becoming.
The cells in our body regenerate every seven years. Our relationships ask to be renewed. Our spirit whispers: “It’s time.”
But even when your heart is ready, your nervous system may still be protecting the last chapter.
That’s not a failure. It’s the wisdom of your body doing its job.
And if we don’t pause to listen, we mistake old protection for present truth.
That’s why I created this:
Relationship Inventory: Is My Nervous System Still Living in the Past?
It’s a series of 21 Questions to help you reconnect…from the Inside Out
This isn’t a quiz. It’s not a test. It’s a spiritual tool (disguised as a practical one).
You can use it alone. You can use it with your partner. You can even turn it into a ritual.
Every question is designed to help you move from pattern to presence, and from fear to trust.

A glimpse inside:
- What part of me is still waiting to be chosen…even by me? - What version of “us” do I miss, or wish we could grow into? - If I fully trusted that love could hold all of me… what truth would I finally speak?
And yes — there are 21 questions. Three sets of seven. Because healing isn’t linear. It’s cyclical. And sacred things happen in sevens.
If you’re in a moment of change, or your relationship is quietly calling for renewal… this is a beautiful place to begin.
With blessings, Ted P.S. You’re not behind. You’re not broken. You may simply be entering a new cycle — physically, relationally, spiritually.
Let this guide help you cross the threshold… with clarity, care, and trust.
