The
physical cycle is
23 days long and it regulates physical strength,energy,endurance,
sex drive,confidence and ambitions.It is related to
the autonomous nervous system and flow of hormone
melatonin.
The emotional cycle is 28 days long and shows
the ups and downs of emotions, reactions, sensitivity,
affections, depressions and is dominant in women and
creative people like dancers,writers and artists.
The
intellectual cycle is 33 days long and governs
intelligence, memory, intellectual ambitions, mental
alertness, intuition and logical thinking.Some Japanese
researchers believe it is linked to secretions of
the thyroid and related glands.
Evolution
of biorythms: Dr. Sigmund Freud and Dr.Wilhelm
Fliess observed the first biorythm cycles.Freud even
used dream analysis to confirm the existence of the
emotional biorythm cycle. In 1920s ,Alfred Teltscher
recorded the intellectual biorythm cycle.This cycle
has been confirmed to have a relationship with the
thyroid and other glands.That is why you notice on
certain days even the most brightest students behave
stupidly. In 1930s Alfred Judt from Germany devised
tables for calculating bio rythms and this was the
first calculation aid. It was only in the 1970s that
Swiss engineer Hans Frueh made the first biorythm
calculating machine and in 1980 the London Biorythm
Company developed the biorythm wheel to display biorythms.
In
the Korean War in 1953 statistics were collected on
biorythms,and it was noticed that four out of five
deaths during military action occurred on caution
days in the physical cycle.In fact popularizing the
biorythms led to the Kitchener Bus Company (Ontario)
to reduce its accident rate by 60% when biorythms
were used.
Practical
use in modern day: As the use of biorythms
became more popular in Japan,accident rates,both motoring
and industrial -decreased and biorythm compatibility
at workplace improved productivity.Major insurance
companies obviously became interested because it saved
them claims. Studies have been done in England with
a view to promote use of biorythms in suicide prevention.
Compatibilities:
Surprisingly, marriages that have a very high physical
biorthym compatibility tend to be dramatic and short
lived. However,this is a powerful bond and couples
who experience this are often drawn to each other
like an obsession.Try to avoid extremes of compatibility,that
is both very high and very low. But in marriage there
are other factors apart from biorythms such as astrology
and numerology which are given due weightage. If couples
have more than 90% emotional compatibility they may
have enormous rows.100% emotional and physical compatibility
may not be enough to prevent a divorce if physical
compatibility is low.
The
best basis for a marriage biorythmically is for all
three cycles to be just over 50%.In many marriages
,the couple turns out to be compatible in only one
cycle.While the marriage may survive,it may not be
wholly satisfying to either partner.Couples who divorce,and
remarry each other,generally have a very high physical
biorythm compatibility(about 95 to 100%),resulting
in rivalry and dramatic fights.
Good decisions are often made when
the biorythm sequence is either two highs and a low,or
all three are high.
Accidents
happen due to overconfidence /slowness in
reactions, tiredness, illness,stress or loss of concentration
for a few moments.From the biorythm viewpoint ,all
these corelate with a caution day in the physical
cycle or intellectual cycle or when the biorythms
in general are exceptionally low.
Falls
and accidents at home also happen on a physical
caution day.On caution days in the physical and emotional
cycle children become sick or injured and are more
likely to bully or tease younger children. On physical
caution days we tend to lack confidence and might
take refuge in alcohol and drugs.For routine surgery
avoid all caution days.
A
research in UK shows that the day before the 29th
birthday has a particular significance for suicide
attempts,than on any other day in a person’s
life.Suicides resulting from long term unhappiness
or mental unhappiness occur during intellectual/emotional
double caution days. Emotional stupidity occurs on
intellectual caution days.Heart attacks and strokes
occur usually on a double caution day in the physical
biorythm combined with a low emotional biorythm.
On
emotional caution days one is very vulnerable on the
emotional front.On an intellectual caution day one
is slow,often inaccurate,so avoid making important
decisions.On double caution days you feel you are
living through destabilizing,chaotic times feeling
sluggish too. One becomes more self centred on such
days.
How
to get your biorythm?
Biorythmists use a chronological age table to calculate
your biorythm in a particular month or year which
is depicted on a biorythm wheel(see figure).Though
it is a complex procedure, Anupam Kapil attempts to
simplify these giving an idea.
Suppose
you are born on 8 November 1972,then you will be in
your 32nd year in 2004. So go to the table showing
the 32nd year and as you see horizontally downwards
in the column you notice the figures 20 (Physical),5(emotional)
and 32(intellectual).Now the cursor on the wheel with
4 layers is taken to your birthday,1st November.You
must now see from the table below how many leap years
you have passed after your birthday.Seven leap years
have elapsed after 1972(birth year),so minus 7 from
8 November and you get the date as 1st November.Now
you have to align the above values for the physical,emotional
and intellectual with the corrected birthdate,i.e
1st November.So you bring the cursor to 1st November
and align the values 20,5,32 below this date and you
get your bioryhthm cycle.Of course the interpretations
require a highly skilled expertise as Anupam informs
us that there are broadly 27 main biorythm combinations.
Formula
Take the number of complete years lived. Multiply
this by 365 days.Add one day for each leap year lived.Count
the number of extra days in the current year,including
the day you are calculating for.Divide this total
by the number of days in each cycle in turn, 23 days
for the physical, 28 days for the emotional,and 33
years for the intellectual.
