What are Biorhythms?

The principle that our lives are affected by physical, emotional, and mental cycles are illustrated in a Biorhythm chart.  Many people believe that they can improve the quality of their lives by monitoring the highs and lows of these cycles and acting accordingly.  The physical curve with its cycle of 23 days, the emotional curve with 28 days and the mental curve with 33 days. You can even compute your compatibility with someone else to predict the highs and lows in your physical, emotional, and mental relationships with them.

When the curve of any cycle is to the right of the centerline, we experience a high in the corresponding field. If it is the physical curve, you will feel well and not sickly.  If it is the emotional curve, you will be in good spirits and your interaction with others will be positive. If it is the mental curve, your mind will be sharper, concentration will be easier and you may be more creative than usual.

When the curve of any cycle is to the left of the centerline, we experience a low in the corresponding field. If it is a physical low, you may feel tired; if it is an emotional low, you may feel sad; if it is a mental low, thinking can be difficult and you may find it hard to concentrate and remain focused.

When any of the curves crosses the centerline, this is a critical time in the corresponding field and if two curves cross the midline at the same point, this is a very critical time. Critical in the physical field means you may feel exhausted and it is better to avoid physical effort. Critical in the emotional field means you may feel irritable and sad, and emotional outbreaks are likely so it is better to avoid conflicts and arguments. Critical in the mental field finally means unclear thinking and it is better to postpone activities that demand a lot of concentration.

Biorhythms don't predict or explain events but suggest how we might deal with them.
