Back to Biorhythms
What are biorhythms?
Everything that happens around us in the nature is periodic. We are influenced by
cyclic changing of the seasons, moon shape, day and night etc.
Every human life is influenced by these factors and 'works' periodical way as well.
Scientists have discovered body cycles that are known as biorhythms. These cycles
can influence things such as: coordination, immunity to disease, strength, mental
stability, moods, logic thinking, ability to learn, memory recall, instincts, etc.
There are three known biorhythm cycles: physical, emotional, intellectual.
Each of these cycles starts at the time of birth. From this point, each of the cycles
starts to rise up through its active phase until it falls back to the zero level.
Then it continues through the zero level to go on to a passive phase. Then it raise
again to the zero level to begin all over again.
Each time the cycle crosses the zero level from the active to the passive phase,
it is said to be in a critical state (critical day).
When the cycle crosses the zero level from the passive to active phase it is said
to be in a zero state (zero day). In the active phase the abilities associated
with the particular cycle are high. When the cycle is in its passive phase the abilities
are diminished.
During the critical day the associated abilities are unstable, and you should be
really careful during that day. The 'zero day' can be various. The abilities are
unstable during that day as well.
However this day is better than a critical day because the cycle is heading towards
the active phase.
In practice we are under influence of the combination of all the cycles.
The physical biorhythm controls strength, stamina, immunity to disease, potency,
coordination, resistance to pain The physical cycle has a period of 23 days and
controls our energy, vitality, stamina, vigor, endurance and initiative. When our
physical cycle is up, we are more likely to feel better, be full of energy, and
less likely to become ill. When our physical cycle is down, we tend to tire more
easily and are more apt to catch colds and other illnesses.
The emotional biorhythm controls mental stability, sensitivity, moods. The
emotional cycle has a period of 28 days and controls our sensitivity and temperment.
When our emotional cycle is up, we are more likely to be cheerful, creative, artistic
and sensous. When this cycle is down, we are more likely to be moody, bad tempered,
irritable and depressed.
The Intellectual biorhythm controls ability to learn, memory, analytical
thinking, logic, decision making. This cycle has a period of 33 days. When it is
up we think quickly, solve problems effectively, do well on tests and retain facts
to memory. When it is down, we display poor memory and judgement. We may find it
hard to concentrate. Poor decisions may be made during this period.
The Intuitional biorhythm controls instincts, unconscious perception. This
cycle has a period of 38 days. Some claim that this cycle is a combination of the
three primary cycles above.
