                                 The Biorhythm Cycles

At their core, biorhythms are human existential cycles that regulate our health, emotions and intellect. There are three basic biorhythm cycles: a 23-day physical cycle, a 28-day emotional cycle and a 33-day intellectual cycle. All three cycles begin at our birth and oscillate in a steady (sine wave) mode throughout the whole life. The biorhythm science calculates and shapes the cycles mathematically (don’t worry, it isn’t heavy math!), so to predict a person's level of ability in each of these three aspects from day to day. Here are the cycles with their characteristics:

1.   The Physical cycle regulates the strength, metabolic rate, sex drive, initiative, stamina, and eye and hand coordination. Your Physical cycle is situated in muscle tissues and fibers, affecting the general physical condition. It is considered the masculine cycle. For instance, from day 2 through day 11 your physical state is charging, so the physical work goes easier and you have high level of vitality and feel more vigorous, while the level of your endurance is higher. Critical points are Day 1 and 12. So, the three basic aspects of Physical cycle are:

o  Strength

o  Coordination

o  Well being

2.   The Emotional cycle regulates the nerves, moods, creativity and affection and is considered the feminine cycle because it last as long as the menstrual cycle (28 days) among all. The high end of the cycle is from Day 2 to Day 14 when a person is more optimistic and cheerful, while love, feelings, creativity and cooperation are strongly present. The low end of the cycle is from Day 16 to Day 28, when a person gets more irritable and negative and emotions incline towards a recuperative state. The intensity however depends on the person’s general character. Critical days are Day 1 and Day 15. Basic aspects:

o  Sensitivity

o  Mood

o  Creativity

o  Awareness

o  Perception
In the positive phase you will feel cheerful, friendly and optimistic. This is a good time for romance.
In the negative phase you will feel irritable and moody. You will get depressed easily and you are more likely to lose your temper or to cry.

3.   The Intellectual cycle is the longer one (33 days) and regulates a person’s reasoning, logic, concentration, sense of direction, alertness, deduction, memory, and decision-making. It is considered that this cycle is less prominent than other two, but it still remains important as it originates from the brain cells and is affected by the secretions of the thyroid gland. The high end is from Day 2 to Day 16 when a person think more clearly and is capable of absorbing new ideas, which is great time for creative thinking and studying new ideas. The low phase is from Day 18 to Day 33 during which period these abilities are reduced. It is a good period for practice, study, and reflection. Critical days are Day 1 and Day 16 when one should escape making important decisions. So, basic aspects are:

o  Logical analysis
o  Analytical thinking
o  Alertness
o  Memory
o  Communication

           In the positive phase you will feel confident. You can think clearly and you can learn things quickly. This is good time for exams and tests.
           In the negative phase you will feel confused. You will not be able to concentrate easily and you are more likely to make mistakes. This is definitely NOT good time for tests. The most dangerous times are when the cycle moves from one phase to the other. These are known as critical days. Some research in Switzerland showed that 60 % of accidents happen on critical days. Some airlines use biorhythm charts. Pilots are not allowed to fly on critical days.
