In the late 1800s and early 1900s there were two doctors that
were instrumental in the study of biorhythm and are now
considered to be the “fathers” of biorhythm theory. Dr. Hermann
Swoboda was a Professor of Psychology at the University of
Vienna and Dr. Wilhelm Fliess, a nose and throat specialist who
was also a friend and colleague of the famous psychoanalyst, Dr.
Sigmund Freud. Both of these renowned researchers performed
extensive studies and wrote several papers, booklets and books
about biorhythm. They came to very similar conclusions about the
effects of biorhythm and the three cycles; physical, emotional
and intellectual. Their nearly identical conclusions were
obtained without the doctors ever working together on the
subject. However, because of their work they are both considered
to be co-discoverers of biorhythm.
What was it that they discovered?
Through their medical research both doctors found that there is
very definite periodicity or rhythms in our lives. Their
discoveries determined that we are affected by these rhythms
physiologically, emotionally and intellectually.
To this day a great number of studies are still being done
regarding the affects of biorhythm on the human condition.
Although biorhythms are not an exact science, the fathers of
biorhythm theory have established the fact that they do exist.
The research that I have done and the data that I have
accumulated and continue to accumulate weren’t based upon
medical studies. My interest in biorhythms lie in two areas: The
recurrence of specific performance in sports and instances of
unusual or remarkable luck. The bulk of my studies has been
involved with the emotional cycle since I believe that this is
the primary cycle for determining success in business, sports,
and luck.
For biorhythms to exist some form of energy must be present
within all of us. One form of energy that occurs in cycles is
electricity. Biorhythms appear to be affected by “electrical”
energy within our bodies. Our bodies and each cell within it
have an electrical charge, indeed, even the molecules and atoms
of which our bodies consist have positive and negative charges.
Scientists tell us that our bodies are essentially large
batteries. This supports the hypotheses which indicate the
involvement of energy for the existence of biorhythm. If we
accept the fact that our bodies must generate energy to
function, then it follows that there are periods in which we
recharge, we are fully charged and we deplete our energies.
Basic Biorhythms
Biorhythm consists of three cycles: physical, emotional and
intellectual. In my software program, Biorhythm Secrets, I have
assigned symbols and numerical values to each of the cycles
corresponding to the point or day within that cycle. (See the
above chart).
The physical cycle consists of 23 days; the emotional cycle 28
days; and the intellectual cycle 33 days.
Note that the biorhythm sine-wave can be viewed to be in four
sections:
Ascending above the line: +
Descending above the line: #
Descending below the line: -
Ascending below the line: *
There are also symbols and values representing the Caution or
Critical days as well as Mini-Cautions or Mini-critical days.
Ascending cycle on the line: c (small)
Descending cycle on the line: C (large)
At the peak or apogee: H
At the bottom or perigee: L
Generally, above the line (positive) is better than below the
line (negative) in each of the cycles. The section represented
by the "+" and "#" symbols are the more favorable sections and
conversely, the section represented by the "*" and "-" are less
favorable than the positive sections above the line. The two
negative sections which exist below the line can be likened to a
battery where the "-" is depleting the energy and the "*"
section is recharging the energy in a battery. The "+" section
is fully charged and the "#" section is somewhat less than fully
charged. (See the section under GOLF which describes the effects
of positive versus negative phases in 121 PGA tournaments.
PHYSICAL CYCLE
The + and # days will tend to yield better performance in
physical endurance and strength while these attributes are
diminished in the - and * sections. he "C" and "L" can cause an
adverse effect upon the individual on specific dates in this
cycle. Often the individual will become more tired than normal,
timing will be off for sports, and there has even been some
research indicating that a person is more susceptible to colds
and other diseases on these dates because the immune system is
somewhat diminished in its effectiveness.
EMOTIONAL CYCLE
In this cycle an individual may be more intense, over-react or
take things too seriously with a Caution or mini-caution. The
emotional cycle also governs what some researchers have called
"bio-luck" which appears to be related to some form of positive
mental attitude. But I believe it may be more than that and
somewhat metaphysical in nature. I have recorded and experienced
many highly unusual "lucky" events from lottery winners to
golfers with holes-in-one. A significant number of these people
had their emotional cycle at one of the two extremes: either the
"H" representing the 8th day of the cycle or the "L" which
represents the 22nd day of the cycle.
In science and metaphysical studies experts state that energy is
within us and around us and exists within the cosmos. If we
accept the existence of this energy then what one biorhythm
expert stated makes a good deal of sense. He stated that we can
liken biorhythm to a scenario where an individual enters a dark
room and "hits" the light switch. In doing so sometimes a sudden
surge of energy causes the bulb to burst its filament. Perhaps
at specific points on each of the biorhythmic cycles we have an
energy surge which creates "luck" or some unusual effect that
science does not fully understand or can not explain. I believe
the two points for unusual luck are at the "H" and "L"
(mini-cautions).
Generally, a positive emotional cycle will produce better
results in almost all of your endeavors. The higher you are on
this cycle (for example, the 7th, 8th and 9th days of the
28-cycle) the more favorable are the outcomes.
INTELLECTUAL CYCLE
This cycle governs judgment, decision-making and even memory.
With an "L" or low point on the intellectual cycle you may find
that it's difficult to recall phone numbers that you regularly
call or names of people that you would normally remember.
With your intellectual cycle positive you will find that your
mind is quite sharp - almost as though the synapses in your
brain were working well because of enough energy to make
sufficient contact at the synapse for energy to surge through
the "brain switch".
