Natural Biorhythms

Spiny Biorhythms

The ancient Chinese observed this connection between our bodies and the planets many centuries ago, and use it intheir practice of acupuncture. They list a number of different biorhythms, from the normal twenty four hour cycle up through longer several day periods.

All of these are used to follow and influence fluctuations in body energy. In acupuncture, this energy circulates through each part of the body throughout the day, each organ having a two hour time for maximum energy and a time for minimum energy. For example, the major organs have their maximum energy in the following order: first the liver, then the lungs, large intestine, stomach, spleen, heart, etc., in sequence, for all of the twelve major organs. This order was discovered by years of observing the times of day that the disorders of the various organs displayed their worst symptoms.

The acupuncture practitioner can use the times of a patient’s symptoms to help determine which organs and energy channels are affected, and also help select the favorable times to treat the patient. For example, many of the worst asthma attacks take place during the wee hours, which is the maximum energy period of the lungs. The best time to treat these cases is at a time as close to this time as possible.

In the science behind acupuncture, a symptom may be caused by too much energy at an organ, and other symptoms by an insufficient amount of energy. (The determination of which symptoms fall into which category has been catalogued over many centuries, and there are many books on acupuncture detailing these for each of the major organs.) The best time to treat a symptom associated with too much energy is during its maximum energy output, and a symptom with a deficiency in energy is just after the maximum output is over. Of course, it may not be possible to get to your practitioner at those particular times, and there are also other good choices at other times of the day.

If you base what you do on inaccurate information, you might be unpleasantly surprised by the consequences. Make sure you get the whole Accupuncture story from informed sources. In addition to the daily biorhythm, there are also ten day intervals associated with the moon, and so the acupuncture practitioner might strongly suggest that a particular day would be better for treatment than another, based on the particular symptoms reported.

Each day of the ten days is associated with one of two aspects of the Qi energy, and also associated with one of five elements. Particular organs are associated with particular elements, and so stimulation of these organs will be more successful on those days associated with the correct element.

It is important for us to take note of the times our symptoms occur as well as what our symptoms are, for that is important information in our acupuncture treatment plan. And know that the time and dates for our treatments are an important part of how well the treatment works.

Don’t limit yourself by refusing to learn the details about Accupuncture. The more you know, the easier it will be to focus on what’s important

To change your life

2009-02-06T00:14:00.000-08:00

William James, known as the father of American psychology said there are three rules to follow if you want to change your life:

1. Start immediately
2. Do it flamboyantly
3. No exceptions

Well you may not want to change your life exactly but you may have thought of achieving a goal or just doing something differently.When it comes to change, many people procrastinate or fall victim to the “perpetually getting ready to do something syndrome”- a feeling that the time’s just not right at the moment, or I’ll start next Monday, better still next month and so on…

Here are some tactics for getting things done now:

If you perceive that the starting task might be unpleasant then schedule it first on your to-do list. It often turns out to be not that bad after all. (no exceptions)
All journey’s begin with a small step, so break down complex projects into small pieces that are manageable and schedule the first step today. (start immediately)
Set a target date for completion. Go public-tell a colleague, friend or partner what you are doing and when you are going to do it (do it flamboyantly)

Finally don’t forget your biorhythms - schedule your most important tasks during the periods when you have the most energy.

Yes, your brain left you to hang… high and dry.

2009-02-03T00:54:00.001-08:00

And here’s why your precious brain decides to leave for a short tea-break or ‘vacation’ whenever you need it to report for work:

1. You don’t understand or know your own natural biorhythm. I call this your PPPs, “Peak Performance Period”.

2. You’ve yet to learn how to focus on what motivates. As a result you give in to distractions, internally and environmentally.

3. Your own physical body does not acquire the sufficient or suitable nutrition to keep your brain working healthily.

4. You don’t have the right motivation and driving desire to propel yourself.

5. The lack of energy and rest makes us too tired for intensive mental work.

6. You got overwhelmed by the tasks and challenges that face you. You felt too ‘microscopically and atomically small’ for such a gigantic glorious mission that might change the history of mankind and the surface of the earth.

7. Anxiety, worry, frustrations, fear took over your mind and imagination instead of you being relaxed. The stress you experienced made your mind went ‘blank’

8. It’s the result of poor thinking and working habits you’ve, intentionally or un-wittedly, adopted over the years.

9. You have yet to master your mind to a reasonable, applicable level. The techniques of mind mastery and brain power continue to lie undiscovered for you.

10. You’ve never “wanted it to work” in the first place. You saw the act as a need and as an obligation instead of an all-inspiring purpose. Hence it’s because of your attitude towards the work.

Biomonitor as a Secret Weapon

2008-11-06T22:08:00.001-08:00

The Vancouver Canucks have never owned Stanley Cup rings. But they're wearing biorhythm bracelets, which the National Hockey League team hopes might help get players the jewelry they really want.

Canuck players have been issued black bracelets to monitor their circadian rhythms, which are hard to dance to but set everyone's biological clock.

Circadian rhythms are regular mental and physical changes, driven by light and darkness and other factors, that occur over a 24-hour period. Canuck players are wearing the rhythm monitors -- "sleep bands" -- during their six-game, 11-night road trip, removing them only for games and practices. Or, for Daniel and Henrik Sedin on Tuesday, to go swimming.

The Sleep Performance Sleep Bracelet, a sleep-monitoring device that the Vancouver Canucks are wearing.

The information will be downloaded next week when the trip ends, and each players' rest and energy patterns evaluated.

The innovative program, being overseen by the Vancouver firm Global Fatigue Management Inc., is part of new Canuck general manager Mike Gillis's strategy to use new technology to make his team better.

"It's about managing fatigue levels, seeing what kind of sleep guys are getting during travel," Gillis said before the Canucks beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-3 in overtime Thursday night.

"It will allow Global Fatigue to sit down with players and say: 'You average X-number of hours sleep, and here is when you were most fatigued.'

"They will help each guy develop [a sleep schedule] that suits them.

"It's educating players about fatigue and why some days they feel more tired than other days."

Biorhythms to Accelerate Weight Loss

2008-11-02T01:18:00.000-07:00

Use your body’s biorhythm and eat more!

Losing weight is undoubtedly mankind’s biggest battle in modern history! (Well for some of us at least). In as little as 100 years, we humans have earned the accolade for being the fattest animals on the planet. Weight issues is more that just a ‘big’ vanity obsession.Â Being fat also carry with it tones of serious health issues.

Nevertheless, the truth is many of us wish to loose weight for aesthetic reasons. Whatever the reason maybe (whether its loosing weight for swimsuit season, for your wedding, to improve your health of just to spice sex life) here are some great tips on how to loose weight fast.

1) Eat more! You heard me. Studies have showed that many of us gain weight not because of how much we eat, but how we eat. When we have a big hefty meal, chances are the body does not need that much energy at that particular moment, so it will store the excessive calories consumed. What we should do is to have more frequent, but smaller meals throughout the day.

By having frequent small meals, the body has time to process the food more efficiently to convert it into energy, instead of fat. Although we may end up eating way more that we did before this program, this method has been proven to help you lose weight quickly!

2) Use your body’s biorhythm. The metabolism rate of your body varies throughout the day. Your body is more active at certain times of day and more passive in others. The trick is to plan your meals according to your body’s biorhythm. You may not have to change the amount of food being consumed everyday, but just change the timing of your meals.

For example, fattening foods like potatoes and other high carbs and high fat foods are best consumed before 12 pm. This is because up to this time, your body’s metabolism is at its highest. From 12 pm to 3 pm, you should stick to fruits vegetables and meat. From 3pm to 7 pm, it is best to stick to just proteins.

After 7, there should be no further consumption of foods. Don’t worry about being hungry as your high protein intake before 7pm will keep you feeling full through out the night.

3) Trick your body! This is another trick where you can loose weight quickly without changing your diet too much. It’s called the vegetable diet trick. During meal times, before you go for the foods that you like, you have to fill half of your plate with vegetables like leafy greens, beans or nuts (not potatoes or French fries).

After that you can fill the other half of your plate with whatever food you want (ice-cream, desert, sweets, meats whatever you wish). Now, before you start eating the food of your choice, you must finish all the vegetables in the other half of your plate first. After you have consumed the vegetables you can proceed to eat the food on the other half.

This is a way of tricking your brain into thinking that you are actually eating a lot of the food that you love, By the time you are done with your vegetables, your appetite for the other side of the plate would have decreased. Over time, your body will start developing a natural preference for vegetables that will help you keep the weight off in the long run!

Moon's Biorhythms

2008-10-19T22:34:00.000-07:00

The Moon may not be made of cheese, but it seems to influence a lot more down on Earth than we previously thought.

For eons, folklore has blamed the Moon for everything from lunacy to bad luck. And, for the last few centuries, scientists have scoffed. Now, according to new research they’re not so sure. The Moon may not be made of cheese, but it seems to influence a lot more down on Earth than we previously thought.

According to new research, the Moon affects not only the tides of the oceans but also people, producing a range of symptoms from flare-ups of gout to bladder problems. It may even lie behind the causes of car crashes and affect people’s hormonal balances.

Having carried out new research and reviewed 50 other studies, scientists suggest that doctors and the police even need to prepare for how their work rate will increase at different points in the lunar cycle. Among the findings examined by the researchers were studies that showed GP consultations go up during a full moon, according to Leeds University. Appointments rise by 3.6 per cent, which works out at around three extra patients for each surgery. The researchers did not speculate on the nature of the moon-related problems or why they happened, but said that “it does not seem to be related to anxiety and depression”.

Gout and asthma attacks peak during new and full moons, according to work carried out at the Slovak Institute of Preventive and Clinical Medicine in Bratislava, where attacks over a 22-year period were monitored.

Data from 140,000 births in New York City showed small but systematic variations in births over a period of 29.53 days - the length of the lunar cycle - with peak fertility in the last quarter. “The timing of the fertility peak in the third quarter suggests that the period of decreasing illumination immediately after the full moon may precipitate ovulation.”

A study in Florida of murders and aggravated assaults showed clusters of attacks around the full moon. A second study of three police areas found the incidence of crimes committed on full-moon days was much higher than on all other days. And a four-year study into car accidents found that the lowest number happened during the full-moon day, while the highest number was two days before the full moon. Accidents were more frequent during the waxing than the waning phase.

Another study of some 800 patients with urinary retention admitted to hospital over a period of three years found higher retention during the new moon compared with other phases of the cycle. Interestingly, patients didn’t show any other daily, monthly or seasonal rhythms in their retention problems.

Even what we eat and drink is affected by the lunar cycle, according to a study at Georgia State University. Researchers looked at lunar variations in nutrient intakes and the meal patterns of 694 adults. They concluded: “A small but significant lunar rhythm of nutrient intake was observed with an 8 per cent increase in meal size and a 26 per cent decrease in alcohol intake at the time of the full moon relative to the new moon.”

While scientists have been trying to prove for some time that the Moon does exert an effect, what has not been established is why. Scientists have until now examined the theory that the Moon triggers changes through its gravitational pull. But the latest research points to an effect on people’s hormones. “The lunar cycle has an impact on human reproduction, in particular fertility, menstruation and birth rate. Other events associated with human behaviour, such as traffic accidents, crimes, and suicides, appeared to be influenced by the lunar cycle,” said Dr Michael Zimecki of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

“Although the exact mechanism of the Moon’s influence on humans and animals awaits further exploration, knowledge of this kind of biorhythm may be helpful in police surveillance and medical practice,” he said.

The researchers also found links between the lunar cycle and the likelihood of people being admitted to hospital with heart or bladder problems and with diarrhoea. The menstrual cycle, fertility, spontaneous abortions and thyroid disease were also affected. Just how the Moon could have an effect needs further research. Dr Zimecki suggests that it may be the effect of the Moon’s gravity on immune systems, hormones and steroids.

He said: “At this stage of investigation, the exact mechanism of the lunar effect on the immune response is hard to explain. The prime candidates to exert regulatory function on the immune response are melatonin and steroids, whose levels are affected by the Moon cycle.

“It is suggested that melatonin and endogenous steroids [which are naturally occurring in humans] may mediate the described cyclic alterations of physiological processes. Electromagnetic radiation and/or the gravitational pull of the Moon may trigger the release of hormones.”

Whatever the root cause of the Moon’s influence over us, its hold over the imagination will endure as long as the shining sphere of rock remains in the sky.
Only 12 people have walked on the Moon: the first were Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin in 1969, the last were Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt in 1972. But last December, Nasa announced plans for a permanent base on the Moon in preparation for a manned mission to Mars.

Construction of the base is scheduled to take around five years, with the first voyages beginning by 2020.

What is chronotherapy?

2008-10-12T22:30:00.000-07:00

Chronotherapy takes into account how our body's natural rhythms' impact our ability to process medications. Patterns like sleeping, menstrual cycles, even our physical response to the changing seasons, are different for everyone. In the old days we called these biorhythms. Today, doctors are finding that understanding a patient's biorhythms, and coordinating the timing of their medical treatments to these biorhythms, can profoundly affect the outcome of their treatments. This is called chronotherapy.

Every drug has an optimal time when it is least toxic and most effective. says Keith Block, MD, editor-in-chief of the peer-reviewed journal Integrative Cancer Therapies, and Clinical Professor, Department of Medical Education, at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Chicago (UIC), and at the Department of Pharmacology. For cancer treatment, this is determined by several factors, including the biological uniqueness of the particular drug being given, the time when the specific type of cancer cells divide the most, when the normal healthy cells of the patient generally divide the least, the patient's circadian clock and individual rest-activity cycles, and even the time zone the person resides in.According to Dr. Michael Smolensky, co-author of the book The Body Clock Guide to Better Health, when cancer medications are given in a chronobiological manner, patients may be able to tolerate higher, more potent doses than would be possible otherwise.

This method of administering chemotherapy is revolutionary and has demonstrated in large randomized trials its potential to improve survival, states Dr. Block. We have found that often patients receiving chronotherapy reduce what would have been recurring side effects of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fatigue. This is important because the debilitation caused by chemo can cause patients to reduce or even stop treatments that could otherwise help them win their battle with cancer.

Chronotherapy is being widely researched around the world: there are over 62,000 references in the National Institute of Health's archive of biomedical and life sciences journal articles about chronobiology and how biology is affected by timing and over 500 scientific articles specifically about chronotherapy.

The National Cancer Institute's Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine (OCCAM) devoted an entire web cast for doctors on chronotherapy.So why isn't chronotherapy used more widely?One of the main problems has been logistic, figuring out how to deliver chemotherapy in exactly timed doses. Portable infusion pumps may hold the answer, explains Gerald Sokol, MD, an oncologist with the division of oncology in FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.

Dr. Block has brought technology to the U.S. that administers chemotherapy via a pump designed to precisely time up to four channels of infusion simultaneously to the individual needs of a patient. Highly portable and small enough to fit in a fanny pack, patients are able to maintain full mobility, play sports, and enjoy a full night's sleep while receiving their specifically timed cancer therapy.

Bio Rhythms Readings

2008-09-25T22:14:00.000-07:00

There are more and more psychics are coming out in the market everyday. Every one say he is very powerful on in foretelling your future of you. But, you need to be careful in selecting an authentic psychic. Moreover, you also need to select an authentic website for that. It will benefit you to get your purpose done successfully.

Our body is functioning in co operation with the bio rhythms of its internal vibrations and the world outside. This function can be compared with the planetary movements, the movement of the sun and moon. The entire universe is involved with this connection.

Some of the people have got extra sensory perceptions. This is something beyond the perception of your sensory organs. Eyes, nose, tongue, skin and ears are the five sensory organs through which all human beings get the information. But, if you find information beyond these sensory inputs out of special intuitive powers, then it is called as extra sensory perception. This will help to know about your future. This kind of knowledge is used by some of the psychics.

Can Biorhythms Help You in Trading

2008-09-23T01:26:00.000-07:00

Biorhythms were used by sport coaches in training programs for athletes competing in the Olympic Games.

When I first learned about biorhythms I was only a teenager. I thought there was some science behind it or at least that's what the sources I consulted then wanted me to believe. The truth be told, though, there is probably very little scientific evidence to support the idea of biorhythms, but a quarter of a century later, I still consult biorhythms, even if I should know it better by now. Yes, I do consult them because I have noticed that there is a good deal of positive correlation between my mood and mental acuity and my emotional cycle.

And to some extent also between my energy levels and my physical cycle or my mental prowess and my intelligence cycle, though I seem to be mostly affected by the 28 day (practically monthly) emotional cycle. There are times when I really cannot understand or explain why I am feeling particularly lousy or sappy on a given day as there seems to be no good external or any apparent internal reason for that. On a day like that I usually check my biorhythms and more often than not I am presented with a plausible explanation: I am either close or I just entered a critical day or my cycles are indicating a bearish phase, meaning I am down. And so perhaps the best I can do at a time like that is to prevent myself from starting to dig in this hole. Let's just relax a bit, it's not likely that I am going to get done a lot today, anyway.

Biorhythms were used by sport coaches in training programs for athletes competing in the Olympic Games. Soccer coaches found biorhythms useful for selecting and training players. In the last 10 or so years, the idea of biorhythms seems to have been discredited. The statistical studies once supporting this idea, have been found wanting and nowadays this idea is considered to belong to the same realm of scientific validity as astrology.

Should we thus totally reject it as bogus? Personally, I believe that would be unwise. Cycles do exist in nature, the most known of them being the annual one related to the Sun and the monthly cycle that has the Moon as its basis. It is well known that different seasons have different influence on humans. In particular, during the winter time we are more prone to depression when during the months when the Sun stays longer above the horizon. The monthly cycle is related to the menstrual activity in females, for instance, but may have also other effects, less pronounced. The fact the all the biorhythmic cycles have been found to be relatively close to the monthly cycle of about 28-30 days should probably not come as a surprise. This probably reflects the fact that the monthly cycle is real.

So how should we approach this issue from the practical point of view and, in particular, from the point of view of a daytrader? Well, first start by monitoring your moods and mental acuity. Whenever, you feel subpar and cannot find a rational explanation for your poor intellectual performance or lousy mood, see if this coincides with a critical day in the emotional cycle, the one that is closest to the monthly cycle and which I personally have found to be of the greatest influence on me. Or perhaps you are very deep in the negative zone of the emotional cycle, close to the bottom. If you notice such correlations, you may want to take them more seriously and simply try to take it easier and be more cautious in your work or your trading when you are experiencing one of those down periods.

It's hard to keep working at the same strength and pace all the time, so use the periods when you feel slower, less psychically, mentally or physically fit to regenerate your energy. This will serve you well in the long run whether your main occupation is that of an emini daytrader, teacher or nurse.

1970s Certina Biostar Varieties

2008-09-19T22:16:00.000-07:00

Great post found at "The watchismo times". The article is short, quite sceptic and grumpy however photos are fine.

Maybe the first and the last Biorhythm watch in history.

"Certina made a few varieties of this pseudo-scientific electronic watch all featuring a rainbow of three rings marked with random numbers for love, health and some other nonsense. Oh those silly dirty hippies..."

I see no extra switches to set up day of birth to calculate biorhythms. Most probably the watches were produced and tuned for each customer personally.

Biorhythm Theory is Essentially a Pseudoscience

2008-09-12T00:18:00.000-07:00

Another slashing article about biorhythm theory.

Biorhythm theory is essentially a pseudoscience, purporting to deal with biological cycles ignored by those scientists who study biological rhythms, those in the field of Biochronometry, which among other things, involves the circadian rhythms that govern our sleep and wakefulness cycles. In a nutshell, regardless of the variation of the theory used, the idea is the same: to enable people to forecast whether they are going to have a good day or not. Biorhythm theory is supported primarily by numerological jiggery-pokery, media hype, anecdotal accounts, and what is known as the Forer Effect, the tendency to perceive general statements that can apply to anyone as specifically applying to oneself.

In the various mutant strains of the theory that have popped up over the years, a 38 day Intuitional cycle, a 43 day Aesthetic cycle, and a 53 day Spiritual cycle have been added. There are even variants that make use of cycles that are combinations of other cycles, such as a Passion cycle, combining the Emotional and Physical, a Wisdom cycle, mixing together the Emotional and Intellectual and a Mastery cycle, blending the Intellectual and Physical.

Supposedly, each cycle has an integral length in days, and it is assumed that the entire cycle of a rhythmogram will repeat itself after a total of 23×28x33 days, which comes out to 21,252, or about 58 years, though for strict Fliessian biorhythmists this would be calculated at 23×28=644 days, before the entire sequence begins anew. The theory claims that the more ‘positive’ at a particular time a cycle is, the more potent the ‘energy’ of that cycle is, and the greater the success of the interactions of the one the cycle pertains to.

Too bad that science has never been able to find this energy, despite having a good track record for finding other undetectable things, but once again, I digress. Biorhythmists claim that all cycles start at zero at the time of one’s birth, and at certain points on these cycles, an individual will experience great success or great failure. A cycle going through the horizontal zero line on the biorhythm chart (ahh, now we’re getting to it…) is thought to be at a ‘switchpoint‘, or ‘critical point‘ and this is held to be a time when people become accident prone, on so called ‘critical days.’

To date, there have been no scientific studies published in any accredited, peer-reviewed journal which supports biorhythm theory, and indeed it has been tested, though as of 1998 (Hines), in the then 134+ studies that were conducted, the theory has failed all attempts to validate it. The claims of critical points have been shown to be false, and in response, many ‘expert’ biorhythmists have resorted to using questionable math to support their claims. Biorhythm proponents have refused to relinquish the theory even after it has been proven false by empirical data, falling back on the invocation of special pleadings to effectively render the theory unfalsifiable, even to inventing an entire new category of people, the Arhythmic, including the claim that some are arhythmic part of or all of the time.

Also, to save their failed theory, biorhythmists have made major reinterpretations of biorhythm’s mechanisms, again, effectively making it untestable, and therefore, not science. One purportedly scientific study claimed as a finding that, and I quote, about 60% of all accidents happen on critical days, or about 22% of all days, but there is a problem with their methodology, and the reason this study is not valid: Biorhythmists also count the days immediately before and after the so-called critical day, more like 60% of all days, so the statistic would more accurately be stated as ‘60% of all accidents happen on 60% of all days’, which is what you would expect by sheer chance.

Testing biorhythm theory by keeping a journal, and charting each day is useless, as it is subject to a number of methodological problems, such as the well-known phenomenon of the self-fulfilling prophecy, simple suggestibility, and selective validation. As convoluted as biorhythm theory is, with the need to keep track of the rise, falling, and switchpoints of at least two or three cycles, and maybe more, you don’t have to be a math major to be able to tell that its child’s play to find cases to which the theory seems to apply.

Personal Horoscope and Biorhythms Experience

2008-09-08T23:15:00.000-07:00

Personal horoscope and biorhythms experience

I subscribe to a daily horoscope and biorhythm thingie. Now, mind you, I don't put 100% stock into such things. For the most part, I just like to see how applicable they are. I have found that oftentimes, horoscopes especially are worded in such a way that they can apply to anyone at any given time. Like going to a charlatan palm reader, and she says "You will meet someone new." Well, if you go to work, or go to the store, or anywhere for that matter, you will meet someone new. Or if they say "You are troubled over something."

Well, who isn't? I know, I know. Not all of them are hucksters. Do people have the gift of predicting the future? I happen to beleive not. There are, however, people who can more easily "read" a person. Body language, general moods, things like that. Basically, just discernment. Again, these are just my personal beliefs. No offense to yours. Well, anyway, today my horoscope is full of warnings, and my biorhythm puts me at a critical low.

As it happens, it seems to be fairly accurate today. I do feel low. Blue, sad, whatever you wish to call it. At least, though, I do feel that sadness is necessary. People who claim to be happy all the time are hiding something, for it is impossible, in my opinion, to confine yourself to any one single emotion on a daily basis.

Don't get me wrong. I don't hate my life or anything. I am in generally good health, I have a place to live, food and electricity, I do have a job, and a paid for vehicle with over a half a tank of gas. So, I don't have it as bad as many. Like the people who honestly don't know how they are going to have their next meal. My heart goes out to people like that. In that perspective, my life really isn't bad at all. However, that doesn't change the fact I am down.

I can be thankful and down at the same time. Being thankful does not change the fact that there are still things I want. Like her. It always comes back to her. There are so many things I want to say to her, and when I get the chance, I squander it away on crap like politics, daily goings on, etc. I have yet to speak with my heart, and that bothers me a bit. For one thing, I always question the timing. I like to be careful about certain things. Talking to women is one of them. There is a fine line between finally saying what you need to say, and saying too much, thus crossing into creepy status. Oh, I'll go around in circles for a year, looking for that opportune moment that might not ever come.

It's funny, because I usually don't hesitate to tell someone what I think or feel. It all comes down to choosing your battles. With the heated state of politics these days, I find it better to stay mostly quiet. I have several friends who are quick to say "This candidate sucks! Any who support him are fooling themselves!" Just don't disagree with them. Then they will focus their fanatacism on you. They will even go so far as to call you a fool, or unAmerican for having a different opinion.

Sorry, but I thought that that was one of the things this country was founded on in the first place. So many of us are closed minded, while calling ourselves open minded at the same time. "I am open minded, it just so happens that what you think is wrong." That seems to be the feel for a lot of this. Let me make this clear: Your beliefs are not wrong, and neither are mine. They just disagree. Thank you.

Not To Fight The Body's Natural Rhythm

2008-08-31T21:43:00.000-07:00

It's important not to fight the body's natural rhythm. The problem that many people face is that their natural body clock is not in sync with their real world responsibilities. If you're a night owl and you need to get your kids out in the morning for school you're in conflict. If you work first shift and you feel more awake during second shift there's a conflict. The conflict isn't harmful per se, but it doesn't give you full access to your internal energy and may limit what you can engage in while coping with illness.

There are certain clues that will provide you with the information you need to optimize your energy and create alignment with your natural body time clock. Is it difficult to wake up in the morning? Do you hit snooze over and over hoping that you could stay in bed? Do you need the alarm clock to wake up in the morning? If you answered yes to the previous questions you may not be a morning person internally, but out of habit or necessity. Ask yourself when you're at your peak during the day. Take note when you experience a slump in energy and attention during the day. Keep tabs on when you are fully present instead of simply going through the motions.

When you know when your optimal of time of day is you can schedule your activities to maximize your energy and attention. Scheduling your most important meetings or appointments with your healthcare team when you're focused is important because you're more inclined to ask better questions and be a true partner in your healthcare. You don't need as much artificial energy boosters like caffeine and sugar to get energy. Reducing the amount of artificial energy boosters will reduce the toxins in your system allow the body's natural rise and fall of hormones to carry you through your day.

There aren't any hard and fast rules about how you should expend your energy. It is clear that when your body is alignment with its internal clock you are more aware of your body, your surroundings and are able to make decisions and take action based on that alignment. There is a tendency in our culture to force the body to do things that aren't natural. Keeping your body tied closely to its biological rhythms will improve the body's efficiency and that helps improve treatment outcomes and improves your quality of life.

Great Introduction to Acupuncture and Biorhythms

2008-08-25T23:47:00.000-07:00

Easy and clear biorhythms introduction found on physics teacher

"In the science behind acupuncture, a symptom may be caused by too much energy at an organ, and other symptoms by an insufficient amount of energy."

We all know something about biorhythms. Basically, a biorhythm is an internal clock that regulates our bodies in relation to the daily positions of the sun, and the monthly positions of the moon. This can be seen in the time it takes our bodies to adjust to small changes, such as the changes of daylight savings time, or in large changes, such as jet lag. Our understanding of and interest in biorhythms has been recent, within the last thirty or forty years.

The ancient Chinese observed this connection between our bodies and the planets many centuries ago, and use it intheir practice of acupuncture. They list a number of different biorhythms, from the normal twenty four hour cycle up through longer several day periods. All of these are used to follow and influence fluctuations in body energy. In acupuncture, this energy circulates through each part of the body throughout the day, each organ having a two hour time for maximum energy and a time for minimum energy.

For example, the major organs have their maximum energy in the following order: first the liver, then the lungs, large intestine, stomach, spleen, heart, etc., in sequence, for all of the twelve major organs. This order was discovered by years of observing the times of day that the disorders of the various organs displayed their worst symptoms. The acupuncture practitioner can use the times of a patient's symptoms to help determine which organs and energy channels are affected, and also help select the favorable times to treat the patient.

For example, many of the worst asthma attacks take place during the wee hours, which is the maximum energy period of the lungs. The best time to treat these cases is at a time as close to this time as possible.

In the science behind acupuncture, a symptom may be caused by too much energy at an organ, and other symptoms by an insufficient amount of energy. (The determination of which symptoms fall into which category has been catalogued over many centuries, and there are many books on acupuncture detailing these for each of the major organs.) The best time to treat a symptom associated with too much energy is during its maximum energy output, and a symptom with a deficiency in energy is just after the maximum output is over. Of course, it may not be possible to get to your practitioner at those particular times, and there are also other good choices at other times of the day.

In addition to the daily biorhythm, there are also ten day intervals associated with the moon, and so the acupuncture practitioner might strongly suggest that a particular day would be better for treatment than another, based on the particular symptoms reported. Each day of the ten days is associated with one of two aspects of the Qi energy, and also associated with one of five elements. Particular organs are associated with particular elements, and so stimulation of these organs will be more successful on those days associated with the correct element.

It is important for us to take note of the times our symptoms occur as well as what our symptoms are, for that is important information in our acupuncture treatment plan. And know that the time and dates for our treatments are an important part of how well the treatment works.

Biorhythm Imbalances Test

2008-08-24T22:05:00.000-07:00

Dr. Michael Borkin, NMD is a pioneer in hormone and electrolyte research. He specializes in hormone and electrolyte testing and balancing. His lab currently uses saliva to test the bio-availability of DHEA, Cortisol, Progesterone, Testosterone and Estradiol and the electrolyte levels of sodium, potassium, chloride in both men and women over a 24 hour period of time.

A patient starts collecting their saliva at 8 AM. They take a sample every 4 hours until 4 AM the next morning. By studying the levels of bio-active hormones and electrolytes available in saliva, doctors learn a great deal about the health and disease processes going on inside their patients’ cells. Dr. Michael Borkin, NMD’s saliva testing of hormones and electrolytes and customized cream production is one of the answers to biorhythm imbalances that occur on critical and sub-critical biorhythm days.

Dr. Tatai, MD, one of the leading biorhythm safety consultants in Japan, believed hormonal imbalances were the cause of biorhythm instability that resulted in accidents, injuries and mistakes on unstable days. Dr. Borkin also realized through his research that our beloved pets suffer hideously because of hormonal and electrolyte imbalances. Dr. Borkin’s lab will soon be adding testing for brain chemistry along with hormone testing for pets and animals. Their levels of balance are similar to that of humans. It is time our cats, dogs and horses were spared the ravages of cancer, arthritis and other life threatening viral, parasitic and bacterial infections. It is amazing just how healthy a person or pet can be when their hormones and brain biochemistry is balanced by supplementation.

Biorhythms And The School Design

2008-08-18T21:46:00.000-07:00

We already mentioned biorhythm's guided school in previous posts. Now digits are changing and some more details become available.

Leading north east architects Dewjo'c won the contract to design the exemplary new £20.3million state-of-the-art building. Planning permission was granted to construct the new Monkseaton High school, on Seatonville Road in January. Due for completion in summer 2009 it will provide 938 places for 13 to 19- year-olds.

Dewjo'c's design for the flagship school is based on the exemplar principles laid out by the UK government in 2002 and will create a light, modern, 21st century facility. The architects worked closely with engineering consultancy Parsons Brinckerhoff, the school's headteacher, leading academic Dr Paul Kelley, and his deputy John Sexton, both of whom are instrumental in developing stimulating teaching environments that maximise pupils learning potential.

The design of Monkseaton High was also influenced by the book 'Rhythms of Life', by Russell Foster – a professor of molecular neuroscience – and Leon Kreitzman, which shows that humans have natural biorhythms which govern their daily lives.

In children this makes them most productive between the hours of 10.30am and 3pm, when their body clocks are in sync with daylight. The basic design envisages an educational community stacked within a large protective shell. The school will be orientated to ensure maximum natural ventilation and daylight, helping boost students learning potential in line with Foster's biorhythm discoveries.

The design incorporates a number of learning areas for students to study, independent of teachers.The building's light and airy atmosphere will encourage 'open' learning and is a move away from traditional, 'institutional' school design. Clear walls and open learning spaces remove barriers created by solid corridors and doors. Unlike conventional school buildings, the design for Monkseaton High School aims to maximise space within classrooms, providing teaching spaces and learning areas which will be multifunctional and flexible.

Heroes Leadership Program

2008-08-16T01:05:00.000-07:00

Great mention of biorhytms on site To Think & Grow Rich Your Subconscious

The “In Search Of Heroes Leadership Program” teaches parents, children, teachers and civil servants how to identify and develop their potential heroic leadership abilities.

They learn how to develop and use the full power of their minds through mind-mapping and by creating and nurturing their own hero within. They learn the value of using biorhythms to minimize accidents, injuries and mistakes while optimizing their performance in all areas of life. They use the detailed personality information in their astrological natal charts and handwriting analysis profiles to identify and develop their natural capabilities and skills.

They also learn how to use biorhythm and astrological compatibility reports to achieve harmonious relationships in their family, community and city. The goal is to create mastermind groups based on the teachings of Napoleon Hill in his “Think and Grow Rich” book. Everyone must learn how to work harmoniously together to solve problems in their families and communities. Individuals will use social networking sites like “MySpace” “Facebook” and “YouTube” to make new friends and establish new virtual communities so they can share valuable knowledge and useful solutions on how to solve any and all local problems.

Every individual, family and community will benefit from this international program. It develops the full potential of every individual. It inspires and motivates everyone in the community to make a positive difference in the lives of their family members, friends and neighbors. It teaches them how to live harmoniously with their family members, friends and business associates while they spread “Good News” about local heroes. It empowers individuals to be proud of their community because they are solving their own local problems.

Since 1980, when I was Director of Health Research for Family Fitness Centers, I have been developing training programs that include colorful mindmaps, Biorhythm Awareness charts, astrological natal charts, handwriting analysis and superlearning slide shows with brain integrating music, outlines and text documents that help people learn faster and remember more.

Speech Patterns Affect Biorhythms

2008-08-10T22:01:00.000-07:00

What entrainment demonstrates… Even very subtle cyclical energies have a substantive impact on their eighboring cyclical energies.

Reverberations from clocks entrain and humans entrain to each other.

“Psychology” is way behind State-of-the-Art. It wasn’t until 1978 that Western medicine accepted that conscious thought affects biorhythms when a yogi placed himself naked in a small sealed Lucite box that was submerged in water for far longer than he should have had oxygen to breathe. Doctors had little choice but to concede that the yogi had intentionally slowed his biorhythm.

We now know that speech patterns affect biorhythms.

You can prove this to yourself by going to your local alternative bookstore and ask to use their biorhythm monitor. (Okay, I grew up in California where this is commonplace. You may not have easy access to a biorhythm monitor.) Get a read at your normal level. Choose a song you know by heart and say this song faster than normal for 30 seconds. Notice the tempo of your biorhythm increase.

Next, say the song slower than normal speech for 30 seconds and watch the cadence of your biorhythm decrease. Speaking slower does not always slow one’s biorhythm. Intentionally speaking slowly with a fast talker will increase your biorhythm relative to the cadence of slow talking in the experiment above.

There is evidence of large-scale human entrainment. The tempo of the American Southern accent is an amalgamation between the colonial British rhythm of speaking and the various African rhythms as spoken by slaves of that era. The Southern accent demonstrates verbal entrainment. Since speech patterns impact biorhythms, it appears human biorhythms do entrain.

Biorhythmic Predictions

2008-07-31T22:30:00.001-07:00

Ancient Chinese people thought that biorhythms can be efficiently used for improving many aspects of our lives.

I'm far away from going to poromote our competitors in biorhythms, but they created a very good biorhythmic introduction I can't miss :-)

The term biorhythm describes the cycle created by emotions, intellectuality and physiology and is based on the idea that any form of life on Earth has a certain evolution that is a response to the cycles of the moon, the sun and the seasons.

Those who study biorhythms think that you can find out things related to someone's past and future by examining the rhythms of the his response to the cycles mentioned above. In other words, the emotional, physical and intellectual levels evolve concordantly to the cycles of the sun, the moon and the seasons.

This interrelation between the human cycles and the natural cycles is told to be irrelevant by the critics who consider that the science based on the biorhythm, named chronobiology, is nothing more than pseudoscience. The biological rhythms refer to the way our vital functions modify along with the time cycles. We have some kind of a biologic clock that determines our body to react differently depending on whether is day or night, winter or summer, for example.

The mechanism is situated in the brain and it does its job, however it is influenced by the environment. The chronobiologists developed some studies which show that the biorhythms can seriously affect the symptoms of a disease or the way our bodies react to different medical therapies. As a consequence, the scientists that are interested in biorhythms try to develop methods for improving our health. We all observe that are moments when we feel highly energetic and moments when we are very bored and moments when we feel that we lack energy.

These kinds of states can last for a few days and can greatly influence our activities during that period. Many people choose to use different vitamin tablets and exercises in order to constantly feel energetic and passionate. On the other hand, other people choose to learn how to cope with all these states, with their highs and lows.

They do that by using the modifications determined by their biorhythms and by maintaining the equilibrium when it comes to the emotional, intellectual and physical levels. There may be no magic when it comes to constantly be active but only taking advantage of your biorhythms. We are programmed to react in a certain way to everything around us, so why won't this be the case as well when it comes to the biological rhythm of our organisms. We all need both active and passive phases in our lives but we need to find a way to properly act in both these situations.

Nowadays, there are some people who try to use this as well for general aspects. Don't think that you can use biorhythms for gaining a great amount of money. However, you may get more benefits when it comes to your physical and mental health, as some scientists think.

Biorhythmic Energy Management

2008-07-29T22:16:00.000-07:00

Another great biorhythmic introduction article.

A couple of years ago I was asked to be a keynote speaker at a women's conference. While I was on the phone with the organizer, I quickly looked up my biorhythms for the conference date. I had a quadruple high! Yahoo! I gladly accepted the invitation, and guess what? I gave the most inspiring and powerful speech I've ever given.

You, too, can make the most of your life by tracking your natural energy flows on a biorhythm program. You'll have a great day and a healthy life!

There are biorhythm programs you can buy on the internet but you'll be fine with a free program to start. Go to Google and search Free Biorhythms. When a site comes up, type in your birth date, and click on your free biorhythm chart for today. (Bookmark this site as a favorite so you can find it easily every day.)

On your computer screen you will see a chart of your energy flows for today. Oh-oh, I see I am on a triple low. So today and for the next few days, I will be scheduling less. I'm not going to go to that meeting an hour drive away and I'm scrapping my plans for shopping and errands. I'm going to work quietly most of the day in my home office, then take a nap and go swimming in the ocean, which always rejuvenates me and gives me joy. The biorhythms are continually moving and changing, waxing and waning. The physical cycle is 23 days long. That means your physical energy will go from the bottom, when you feel somewhat listless, to the top where you feel you can move mountains, and back down to the bottom in 23 days.

As you guessed, the physical biorhythm influences the energy in your body, your physical strength, and health. The emotional cycle is 28 days long and affects your feelings: your levels of optimism or pessimism, excitement or depression, joy or dullness. The intellectual cycle is 33 days long and influences your ability to learn, articulate, and remember. The intellectual biorhythm affects your ability to grasp mental concepts quickly and clearly.

Because your biorhythms fluctuate up and down, every day is different. One day you might have a high mental and low physical; another day you might have a low intuitional but a high emotional. Never a dull moment! You can guess what activities are good to do according to your biorhythms. Some days are better to just stay in bed, while other days you might feel you could move mountains!

First Biorhythmic School

2008-07-29T00:21:00.000-07:00

Work has started on this £18.5 million school in Monkseaton, North Tyneside, designed by Newcastle- London- and Sedgefield-based practice Dewjo'c.

The building, which is expected to complete in summer 2009, will feature triangular classrooms and has been inspired by the book Rhythms of Life by neuroscientist Russell Foster and Leon Kreitzman, which deals with biorhythms.

According to the book, children are most productive between 1030am and 3pm when their body clocks are in sync with daylight, so the building has been angled to ensure maximum natural ventilation and daylight, helping boost students' learning potential in line with Foster's biorhythm discoveries. Once finished, the school will house 938 students.

Yoga as a Biorhythms Tuner

2008-07-27T21:44:00.000-07:00

Maintaining the physical body with asana.

The causes of stress in the body are diet, environment, and mismanagement of the daily routine required by the body. There are certain biorhythms in our body which become active during the day and which subside at night.

These biorhythms, which represent the optimum performance of different organs at certain times and their relaxation at other times, are definitely misused. This is possibly the worst kind of stress we can encounter in our lives, more so than environmental or dietary stress, because here we are altering the entire biorhythmic structure of the body.

When we practise asanas, or yogic postures, then this is precisely the area we are trying to reach. Asanas have four major benefits:
- the internal biorhythms are harmonized;
- the pranic energy in our system becomes regulated;
- the blockages and tensions in different muscles are removed;
- there is harmony in the performance of the sympathetic and parasympathetic activities of the body.

There are many other benefits, but these are the four main ones.

Once we attain these four benefits in our lives with the practice of asana, then there are very few chances of the body encountering or undergoing internal stress conditions. Therefore, one limits the intensity of an illness in the physical structure. Diabetes or arthritis will not come to you and you will not have to take insulin injections or tablets. If diabetes, asthma or joint pains do arise they can be managed or reduced.

Biozavr: Ancient handy biorhythm calculator

Found at Pretty Good Things

When I was in middle school my mom "gave" me this thing called a Biomate that she had back in the day (gave meaning it just stayed in my room for 13+ years). It looks like the one above. Not only is it way cool - but the thing is only a little bigger than the palm of my hand.

For those who don't know about biorhythms Wikipedia says it is, "a hypothetical cycle in physiological, emotional, or intellectual well-being or prowess."

I love this pseudoscience! I actually believe in it, at least a little.Now, before you go checking me into the county mental facility, I would like to point out that many things are cyclical in nature and I for one find I have been 100% accurate when guessing (and then checking my biorhythm) when I am a little low on the intellectual side of life.

Ever have those days where you can't say anything right or your words come out all jumbled? (and NO it is not because you've been drinking again) I challenge you to go check your biorhythm out online and just see if it a little low on the intellectual area. JUST SEE!

Environment: Earth's Biorhythms

2008-07-21T23:04:00.000-07:00

As egotistical humans, we seem unable to accept the biorhythm of this planet.

With everyone on the global-warming bandwagon, I think it's time for a little reality check.

Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. It is the basis for all plant life, which also nourishes animal life. Far from destroying the world, there is evidence that it is enriching it.

Satellite data analyzed by scientists over the last two decades have shown more than a 6 percent increase in the Earth's vegetation. Tests exposing various plants to excess carbon dioxide have resulted in more growth of bigger, stronger plants.

And the Earth's warming is not a problem, despite all the hype. Richard Lindzen, Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, noted that global-mean temperatures have risen only about 1 degree Fahrenheit over the past century. Beginning in 1919, it rose over the next 20 years, then declined over the next 30, rising again and then remaining flat after 1998.

There is volcano activity deep under the polar caps, but nobody mentions this pertinent fact.

Unfortunately, that is not the only fact shoved to one side by the media and environmentalists. The Vikings settled Greenland in 986 A.D., and raised cattle, hay and grain for 300 years. No cars there. The Earth has gone through numerous cooling and warming stages. We are now in the declining years of the last Little Ice Age.

Biorhythms in Golf

2008-07-18T23:37:00.000-07:00

Just a little note about biorhythms implementation while playing golf:

"We'll also take a look at the incredible ebbs and flows of the tournament, by measuring the players' attitude on a Biorhythm Meter."

Interesting, how mentioned "Biorhythm Meter" looks? Is it an electronic device or computer program? What "Biorhythm level: 3" means? And… what kind of biorhythm (physical, emotional etc) was measured?

I asked that questions and hope on reply. Really interesting.

Maya Moon Biorhythms

2008-07-17T22:12:00.000-07:00

It looks like every civilization invents own biorhythm cycles that slightly differs in periods ...

The Moon played an important role in ancient Mesoamerican (middle America, i.e. Mexico and northern Central America) astrology. The astrologers of this region noticed that blocks of time had different and specific qualities. They recognized that the rising and setting of the Sun every day establishes the basic time unit — the day. Their great discovery was a 20-day cycle, similar in many ways to a biorhythm. Each day in the 20-day cycle has specific qualities, similar to the signs of the Western zodiac. Each has a name, a symbol, and a delineation.

They also noticed how fast the Sun and Moon moved across the sky. In one day, the Moon moves as far as the Sun does in 13 days. Also, in one year, the Moon cycles with the Sun 13 times. These are two major reasons why the number 13 came to be the most powerful number in ancient Mexican astrology.

The most powerful calendar of ancient Mexico was one that had 20 “weeks” of 13 days, a total of 260 days. This astrological calendar, or almanac, was (and still is) used for interpretation and forecasting, not for ordinary use. The twenty 13-day “weeks,” known in Spanish as the Trecena (13ths), are basically lunar in nature since they represent the time taken for the Sun to match the Moon’s daily travel. Each of the twenty 13-day periods has a specific meaning that is “generated” by the named solar day (the day-sign) that begins the period. These “first days” are numbered 1, followed by the name of the day.

Runner's biorhythms

2008-07-14T19:10:00.000-07:00

If you don’t mind it doesn’t matter

So, you want to be a runner and you want to know what it means to be one. Well, I was motivated to write this post after viewing the recently posted video showing Pat, Brian, Layton and others after running at 5:30 am. On the one hand you see Pat voicing the difficulties that he experienced during the run, Brian being totally non-committal and Layton forever smiling and giving wise, albeit somewhat misleading advice concerning oxygen consumption. This variance in attitudes of runners is to be expected and celebrated, as runners are people first and therefore are blessed with there own wonderful individualism. But what struck me most was a single remark made “off camera”. I believe it was Layton, although it could have been any of the others who said, “No man runs alone.” It is this principle that I have always tried to emulate and I am so glad to see some of this rubbing off on others.

You see, there is nothing more frustrating and demoralizing for a beginning runner, one who is returning from an injury or one who simply has not developed their level of competence to see someone run ahead, especially when they are suffering. And believe me, we all will have or have had those bad days when our “bio-rhythms” are simply out of whack for whatever explicable or inexplicable reason. The term “bio-rhythm” is most likely foreign to most of you, but it is a term that, in my opinion is a most descriptive word that defines all of the external and internal influences that individually or collectively affect how we feel and how we in turn perform. Your performance can be clearly impacted by things under your control such as the type of food eaten the night before; your level of hydration; the manner in which you mentally and physically prepare for the elements; the type of shoes you wear; how you slept the night before; how much stress you are under and so forth (you can probably fill in your own favourites). These factors are fairly understandable, but some other factors that are far more mysterious and often not within your control, might include the amount of pollution in the air; the air pressure (is it rising of falling); the magnetic pull of the moon and sun; the amount of daylight; the height of the sun in the sky; the smell of the soap that you are using and so many other factors that are too many to name. So do not deny those bad days, or even try to explain them away, as they WILL happen.

It is the mystery of what is behind both the good days and the bad days that amazes me, and I would invite you all to be similarly amazed. I like to compare the complexities of what may affect my running to the wonderful and amazing growth of a plant. Why is it that certain plants grow better than others, even when there is an apparent similarity in care? This is a wonderful and amazing MYSTERY that my feeble mind can only try to imagine. Yet I can witness this everyday. As an example, my wife has had a Shamrock plant for years, and about a year ago I forgot to keep it watered and it almost died. Well only after months of TLC from my wife it did come back. But what is amazing, this plant loves the television. In fact when you have the plant near to the TV and turn it on, it actually vibrates. Now this sounds crazy, but I have seen this happen and my eyes do not deceive me. Is there an explanation? Not that I can fathom, but I know it happens. Just like I know I have good days and bad days running and most times there is no explanation.

All of this said, when you look at what must have happened this morning, Pat was clearly having difficulty, for whatever reason, whereas Layton was full of vim and vinegar, yet Layton and I have to assume the others finished together. It has been my experience that I have been both the blessed recipient of help from superior (at least on that day) runners and have at the same time tried to assist others who may be struggling. If you want to be a good runner, then remember your fellow runner, because he or she may be your salvation as soon as tomorrow.

As for me, I will always try to be the last runner to finish and as I indicated, there will be at least sometime when each of you, including me (just ask Joel about two weeks ago) will experience a very difficult run. This is all part of the physical and mental portion of the training and if you do not experience a bad run at least once, then either you are most fortunate or someone else is hurting more than you. So, please do not be upset if on any given day you are the chosen person to be one step ahead of me, in fact celebrate, as this will mean that you have achieved an important part of your training. Remember, running is all MIND OVER MATTER (as Satchel Page said, “If you don’t mind it doesn’t matter.”) and because a running is 95% mental (and the other half is physical), you all must work as much or more so on mental toughness as on physical endurance.

Experience With Biorhythm Readings

2008-07-11T23:54:00.000-07:00

Very interesting discussion about quackery biorhythms readings ... I only wonder what the hell the "biorhythms computer" is?

"Have any of you had any experience with biorhythm readings, or any other such quackery where you were hooked up to a "computer" and completely diagnosed?

My wife's family is big into alternative medicine. About two years ago they jumped onto the Nikken bandwagon, and now someone in the family has obtained a "biorhythm computer" (thats supposedly illegal in the US) that can tell you everything about yourself, from depression, "allergic to dairy", stress, and cancer. Being a man of science, this bothers me, because every argument I put to it, my wife waves off as "So if you don't believe in it, it can't possible work", or "So if it doesn't come from a Dr. in a office, it can't possibly work".

I will admit, some of the stuff that they have told her, or her family is kind of weird. She knew that my wife had a iron deficiency, but they also told her alot of generic stuff like she has a "stress problem" and hasn't been sleeping properly. Shes a stay at home mom, of course she has stress. They also told her that she could not get cancer, because cancer is a acid and her system is very basey. That last claim is what really upset me. Should I just let her keep believing this quackery? "

- And the best possible comment "I'm going to use my psychic powers here... oh, yes, it's coming to me: Your wife is a libra. She takes echinacea and vitamin C daily to ward off colds. She used to think she was a spring, but now it seems she is a summer. Her entron levels are through the roof. She once won $400 playing the lottery. She wears a St. Christopher's around her neck. She found a nickel using a divining rod.

Really, none of these may be true, but you can clearly see that quackery can lead to a loss of money. That is just the beginning though. The "biorhythm" machine is harmless until your wife uses it to actually base medical decisions on its "readings." If she fails to get a mammogram or pap smear because she's convinced that she's immune to cancer, then you need to get worried."

- "Most altie woo is pretty harmless nonsense. My dad & his wife (she works for a "supplement" company) are into a combo of sound dietary practices and quacky nonsensical junk science.

Since it's not doing them any harm, and since a healthy amount of attention to one's health is, well, healthy, I try to keep my mouth mostly shut. My threshold for disabusing them is pretty simple, and a modification of the Hippocratic Oath: First, (let them) do no harm (to themselves)."

- "If you want to prove your wife's family wrong, find somebody with a set of known conditions, hook 'em up to the illegal biorhythm computer (heehee), and watch as the machine fails to diagnose them.If you'd like to have a happy relationship, I think it's important to pick your battles. (When I was a kid, in, say, the mid-'80s, the local Chuck E. Cheese had a biorhythm machine.

If I recall correctly, you'd drop in a token, put your thumb on a metal pad, hear some clanking and whirring, and finally be presented with a dot-matrix printout which heavily featured a bunch of curves. Oh, and it was right next to a fortune-telling machine. Wow--I must be at the peak of my reminiscing cycle.)"

- "Oh, yeah, my gramma's old 386 had a program that did these. Illegal? According to whom? That'd be my first line of attack, then I'd go for making specific claims (the "rhythms" of my gramma's machine showed ascendent and descendent health curves, as well as intelligence curves. It was easy to take a similar test, like crosswords or number puzzles, on different days and chart the speed results against the curves and see that they were independent), then debunking them."

Group biorhythms compatibility charts

2008-07-08T17:37:00.000-07:00

Any person has unique biorhythms that represent a number of vital abilities like stamina, immunity to disease, moods, memory, unconscious perception etc.

Therefore it’s possible to calculate biorhythms for group of persons, so called mutual effect rhythms or group biorhythms. Group biorhythms represent an interaction between two or more persons at any moment.

Group biorhythms in team management

Group biorhythms are useful for team management. It’s possible either to build new team with necessary performance and compatibility or evaluate existing team per numerous criteria.

For example, sports team must have synchronized physical biorhythms to achieve maximal possible results in good days. For sales team emotional compatibility may be important factor to evaluate.

How it works?

Two persons with synchronized physical biorhythms will have 100% physical compatibility and certainly pass through the high periods, when joint efforts are doubled and team effectiveness is up to 100%.

However they should also be ready for the low periods, when both are completely empty and team effectiveness is 0%.

On the other hand, two persons with 0% physical compatibility will always compensate each other and team effectiveness is about 50% at any moment.

Guru Tips: Making $340 per day with lucky biorhythms

2008-07-02T20:30:00.000-07:00

"I did fantastically well last Friday, which according to my biorhythm chart was my lucky day. I did $340."

Leerie Tagney worked the offramp from northbound I-25 in Monument, where he says he makes about $25 an hour panhandling.

"I make a good $25 an hour," said Tagney, 71, known as "Mr. Wizard" and looking the part with turquoise eyes and a frizzy blond-streaked gray beard. "I did fantastically well last Friday, which according to my biorhythm chart was my lucky day. I did $340." Without the $6 ride on the Front Range Express bus, Tagney would be just another beggar on Denver's streets. Tagney limits his treks to Monument to two times a week.

"These are beautiful, generous people," he said. "I don't want to wear it out." He totes a water jug, jacket, snacks and several hats. He likes to look presentable. He prides himself on being a gentleman. He knows the demographics of his client base. "This area leads to upper-middleclass housing and a generally Christian community. I have teenagers give me $20 bills."

He regards it as an investment in a maladjusted misfit who thinks big. "I consider what they give me sacred money. It's in a trust for my betterment, it's not mad money," he said. "I gave up booze 23 years ago. I don't use drugs, I'm not about to start at 71. I like to have a cup of tea and have something at McDonald's and socialize a little bit. I bought a $500 crystal ball on layaway."

His name is on the business cards for tarot card and horoscope readings he does for $10 at the Mercury Cafe in Denver. But it isn't until he starts talking about the octagonal 5-foot clock he's spent four years building with wood and 1,308 upholstery nails that his Mr. Wizard side rears.

"There will be a Buddha in the middle, surrounded by the 12 animals of the Chinese calendar," he said. "I have all the radially codes of the planets, starting with Pluto, in simple and complex form." The clock, which he thinks should fetch $10,000 at auction, will be functional. "It will tell time," he said.

Boxing Biorhythms: David Diaz vs Manny Pacquiao

2008-06-29T21:22:00.000-07:00

Tonights’ matchup of Manny Pacquiao vs David Diaz for Diaz’s WBC lightweight title: Both fighters actually have very similar cycles except in the physical area.

David has a cycle that’s actually near its physical peak, while Manny’s is at a physical low. Both fighters have similar cycles mentally, which are low….and emotionally…both high. The way this manifests is that David’s ability of breaking through his wall and finishing the job will be stronger than Manny’s but not by much. In the area of focus, it’s about even. In terms of overall awareness… about the same here too.

Result will be David winning out in a rather slow-paced affair, TKO in 10th.

What Your Biorhythm Chart Tells You

2008-06-27T20:47:00.000-07:00

This chart is not an all out answer to all problems or decision making.. neither is it a prediction tool. It can just guide you to make the best out of your day.

The moon has pull over the tides which causes the water to shape around the earth in an oval fashion (wherein the highest tide is towards the moon). This takes on a cycle as the moon itself rotates around the planet Earth. Our planet comprises of mostly water, and so a majority of Earth’s inhabitants are also affected by the moon’s gravity tug. Tradition says that women follow this cycle too.. that’s why women get their monthly periods. This is just one aspect.. on a larger scale, its called Biorhythm.

Biorhythm are cycles of the fundamental aspects of life–emotional, physical and mental. There is also the secondary cycle which is not so popular. This involve the mastery, passion and wisdom.

My thoughts appear so cloudly recently that I have been experiencing insomnia and extreme sadness every night. I get so bothered about a lot of things, and I tend to mix my emotions with my thoughts (in which, for me, they should be two different things). I check on my widget and it reports that the emotional and physical aspects are at the lowest point on the 27th. This means that I haven’t faced the worst of the emotional and physical negativity yet. Although this is the case, I firmly believe that the chart is correct, since I am most productive lately to write more posts.

I believe in this cycle at 80% of the time, since the other things happen by luck or by choice. But the key concept is that knowing your biorhythm, you can at least postpone immensely important decisions at a point wherein you are at the peak of intellectual and/or wisdom cycle. Maybe monitoring your chart can also make you understand the way you react to different scenarios over different periods of time. I think that this tells a big thing about how a person can sometimes be predictable or vice versa.

Who knows, if you just pay attention, you might actually be able to hold your tongue when in a fight if you’re aware of what your biorhythm chart tells you. It can save you time thinking about if spending, or even a confrontation would be best at this time. It can actually guide you up to a certain point.. but of course it can’t really predict what will happen to you since only you can make a decision about how to live your life.

Mixing Biorhythms and Astrology

2008-06-24T20:47:00.000-07:00

Knowing beforehand what each day holds for you

Your potential for creativity, your daily strengths and weaknessses. Astro-Rhythms are individualized and highly detailed guides that pertain specifically to you based on the same data that astrologers use. Astro-Rhythms provide graphical data in an easy-to-interpret format.

WHAT MAKES ASTRO-RHYTHMS UNIQUE?

Astro-Rhythms is the result of years of tracking heavenly bodies and checking their relationships to each other on a mathematical basis formulated by the Brotherhood of Light. Astro-Rhythms compare your Natal Planet positions -- significant planets’ positions at the time of your birth -- with the ever-changing cosmos. Because the universe is constantly in flux and planets have such varying orbits, Astro-Rhythms charts have near-infinite possibilities, yet they are simple to use.

HOW DO ASTRO-RHYTHMS COMPARE WITH ASTROLOGY CHARTS?

Astrology interpretations are highly subjective and can vary widely depending on who's interpreting them. In an everything-affects-everything scenario, rules have been formulated that provide a wide range of interpretation that don't always result in a direct meaning in your life. Astro-rhythms are objective and allow you to see your advantages and disadvantages at a glance allowing you to apply the information they provide within your own context. You have the power to determine which actions to take based on which aspects of your chart are harmonious and which are not.

HOW DO ASTRO-RHYTHMS COMPARE WITH BIORHYTHMS?

Biorhythms have only three lines of representation. Astro-rhythms deal with TWELVE aspects of your personality as represented by your Houses. They are much richer in detail than biorthyhms and show a much wider range of potential, but are just as easy to read.

Sexual Biorhythms of Men and Women

2008-06-23T20:53:00.000-07:00

Biorhythms don't measure compatibility. They measure energy patterns and energy dynamics in relationships. The more compatible a couple's biorhythms, the more dynamic their relationship is likely to be... either good or bad.

Psychologists affirm that “owl-lark” couples do argue a lot, it is harder for them to find a compromise, they go out in public less often, and feel disconnected from each other far more often. The issue gets intensified by the fact that the partners obviously have sex less often as well. Surely, couples that have the same biorhythms also may encounter different timings in passion. After all, the female and male sexual sensitivity clocks are very much different. We have to do something about it!

Biorhythms in Our Lives

There is a vast variety of biorhythms. Some have a period of less then a fraction of a second, others last for a couple of years. For each of us an activity rush period is followed by a relaxation, apathy, when we are running out of energy. This is explained by the fact that blood hormone levels fluctuate every hour, day, couple of days, seasons. It is hard to go against this metronome, even for the toughest workaholic and the most passionate lover.

Biorhythms and Sex Hormones

Scientists believe that our DNA has a specific gene section responsible for synthesis of a so-called key protein component. It is a peculiar biological spring, which acts as an initiator for the internal biorhythms clock. Punctual hypothalamus, following its calendar, gives orders to hypophysis, which is obeyed by most of the sex hormones. That’s how it comes around that on some days production of, let’s say, testosterone is rather low, and on other days you are up for feats in bed.

Time When Both Women and Men Want Sex: Study

Do the glorious moments of love exist at all, when passion seizes both partners with equal power? Those questions were studied by Peter Platz, a specialist in the field of issues in sexuality from Hamburg. He graphed the “desire curves” and attempted to find the overlap points between the male and female apogee. It turned out that there are very few of those, yet the moments when hearts beat in a complete unison do exist.

Difference in Male and Female Libido

During the first hours upon awakening, especially after having some erotic dreams, the stronger gender is very much in the mood for an intercourse. At 7 am the male sex hormones activity exceeds the norm by about 20 percent, by 9 am - by as much as 50 percent. The arousal starts to decline by 10 am and then raises once again by 11 am. But here comes the difference, since the arousal in females is not yet awaken by this time of the day. Desire hormones join the female bloodstream only closer to noon.

Best Time for Sex for Both Women and Men

At 1 pm, the male is still aroused, by 4 pm his eagerness reaches its peak point. Attention! Female is drawn towards a sensitive encounter around this time as well. But two hours later, both male and female libido will need rest. To get it excited once again, as the German expert suggests, sport comes very handy.

Best Time for Conflicts about Sex

It may seem that in the evening, the body should entirely give itself in to passion, but that is not the case! This is the time of the most vexing discords. Female hormones still keep it quiet (even if she did not work before that), but the male is eagerly up for intimacy. To awaken the sensitivity of his partner he will perhaps have to use an entire arsenal of his charms, be soft and attentive.

When It Is too Late for Sex

Finally, by 10 pm, at last, she is overwhelmed by the passion of love, but it is too late, since the male organism , although still wanting “it”, is already fighting with the power of sleep. That is why, often enough, after a few minutes of passionate embraces, the male falls fast asleep under the influence of the endorphins, which arrived to the brain during the orgasm. This greatly upsets the girlfriend, who is open for a heart-to-heart talk at this time.

Listen to Your Partner’s and Your Body

Surely, we can not treat biorhythms as a rigid forecast. Humans are not mechanisms and deviations from the scheme proposed by Platz do exist. Nevertheless, the German doctor’s advices can be very helpful for most men and women. The main point is that we should not be easily hurt by a refusal in intimacy. It does not necessarily mean that the feelings are gone, it can very much be the case that the partner’s libido has taken a time-out for a while. Be patient and attentive towards your beloved one; try to find out when he or she has the greatest desire for an intercourse. Listen to your own feelings as well: when you are in the mood for some love games as well.

Chance to Survive

2008-06-22T22:10:00.000-07:00

Not knowing what was coming was challenging, although having biorhythm charts on everyone in the household was a huge advantage for marshaling scarce emotional resources and having an idea of when were the most dangerous and unstable times. Knowing when to allow invasive procedures when the patients have the greatest chance to survive is invaluable.

It was good you had 14 months with your mom. It is an amazing experience to go through the death process with a loved one. The bonding is the most powerful I have every felt, especially with 3 years with my mom and 4 years with my dad.

Even though the emotional and financial challenges were severe, you cannot put a price on the emotional and spiritual rewards you receive when you do the right thing for the people in your life. There is something special about your parents telling you thank you for changing their diapers and feeding them when they can no longer take care of themselves.

Creative thinking is strong and you can clearly see the deeper meaning of things. Your subconscious is more active, so don't ignore unusual incidents today. Perhaps you will be visited by inspiration. Imagination is also increased. Beware of illusions! This is a favorable day for business and personal contacts, as well as active communication.

Physical instability

Be careful when using tools and appliances, working with fire or electricity, or when operating machinery or transports. Accidents or injuries may occur on the job.

Critical combination

Emotional maximum and intellectual minimum. This situation is stressful for men. The emotional maximum inspires activity and increases drive, but the intellectual minimum does not support the objectivity necessary to make optimum decisions, most especially in unknown or unusual situations.

Biorhythms for beginners

Biorhythms are graphic representation of internal "biological clock" that determines many aspects of a person’s life.

Welcome to new free online biorhythms. Easy to use, friendly and informative. Forewarned is forearmed.

Physical biorhythm tracks the human's strength, endurance, powers and state of health.

Emotional biorhythm tracks the stability and positive energy of your psyche and outlook on life, as well as your capacity to empathize with and build rapport with other people.

Intellectual biorhythm is representative of verbal, mathematical and creative abilities, as well as your capacity to analyse the world around you.

Intuitive biorhythm tracks an unconscious perception, instincts, may be useful to know when you can trust your "sixth sense".

Each of these biorhythms starts at the time of birth. Cycle is divided into active phase (above zero level) and passive one (below zero).

The day when one or more rhythms are changing from active to passive phase and vice versa is a critical day. During the critical day the associated abilities are unstable, and it is wise to be really careful during that day.

Biorhythms background

Biorhythms were known in Ancient China more than 3000 years ago. The famous "Book Of Changes" which predicts the future and gives advice for any occasion was written on its basis.

As for new age, the first studies of biorhythms were made in Berlin in the 19th century. A human "master internal clocks" were discovered that regulates a 23-day cycle influencing physical condition and another 28-day cycle influencing emotions or degree of sensitivity.

Nowadays biorhythms make it possible to know for sure when a person can get the best of it in business, sport, education and even in private life. Biorhythms are also widely used to prevent accidents, to control the person’s state of health and to predict the people’s compatibility.

Useful biorhythms

You will learn your opportunities as well as opportunities of the people around you at any given time. This will help you to be a step ahead and face your future with confidence. At certain times, it may save your career, family, or even life

Having additional information about people close to you, you will learn to better understand them. This could help you in raising children and in strengthening your relationships.

Children conceived during favorable periods in the cycle will have a greater chance to get the best of both parents.

Complete Bollocks Or The Dog’s Bollocks?

2008-06-15T22:36:00.000-07:00

Here’s a bit of pseudo-science for you.

I’m sure you’ve been in the position before where you feel dry in the creativity department. You’re looking at a blank page and you have no clue what to write about. This frustrates you and you wonder why you were brimming with the joys of life last week but today for some reason, you just couldn’t be arsed.

Or perhaps you’re just back from a brief walk to the shops, and you suddenly feel like you could happily climb a mountain, though you haven’t had much coffee today. The following week you return from the same shops and slump on the couch, unable to even lift a magazine.

Somedays you might feel like you could learn Japanese in a week, yet other days you find yourself reading the same sentence in your favourite book fifteen times, with a total inability to concentrate.

‘Yep, I hear you sister!’… you might say. But what’s it all about? Why the rollercoaster?

The answer is very simple, and is completely out of your control.

If it's your biorhythms?

2008-06-13T21:49:00.000-07:00

A reader recently sent me a link to a Web site that, like many others like it, offers free daily biorhythm readings. You type in your birthday and the calculator will tell you, in addition to how many days old you are (how depressing is that), what your physical, intellectual and overall state are at the moment.

Background on biorhythms from Wikipedia: "The theory of biorhythms claims that one's life is affected by rhythmic biological cycles, and seeks to make predictions regarding these cycles and the personal ease of carrying out tasks related to the cycles. Some proponents think that biorhythms may be potentially related to bioelectricity and its interactions in the body."

When I got the e-mail and clicked over to the site, I found out that not only was I 10,776 days old (and to think, no one sent a card), but my overall condition was so precarious that if at all possible I should lie down in seclusion for the entire day. Seriously, that was the recommendation. My creative energy was "gone" and my brain was "in stand-by mode." Coincidentally, that was the beginning of the bad mood, and as each following day got worse, I checked back to see whether my biorhythms were supporting my experiences. They were.

Of course, biorhythms are considered by the establishment to be a pseudo-science. And no matter how many people tell me (OK, so far only one) that doctors sometimes schedule their surgeries around their bad biorhythm days, I'm not convinced (and certainly not seeing that doctor). But the idea that there could be a reason for otherwise inexplicable lapses in mental and physical soundness that cost us days of production and happiness is a pretty tempting one. Because if not for something like biorhythms, it's just our own weakness.

Which leads me to the other, more proactive approach to dealing with a slump, (thus the unappealing one), which is to try to turn it around with exercise, mind control or good old-fashioned gumption. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's true that sometimes if you nip it in the bud, a bad mood can be averted with a morning jog or a forced smile. But other times, a stretch of dark days just dig in for a while and there isn't that much you can do about it, other than to try your best to be nice to your friends, family and co-workers (or if not nice, not outright nasty).

Of course, if a slump is more than just a slump (perhaps these stretches are frequent or last longer than usual), professional help is a good idea. But if it's your biorhythms? Heck, it's just not your fault. Tell people to stay out of your way and, if possible, take a lot of naps.

Using Biorhythms To Pick Up Human Intent

2008-06-10T21:52:00.000-07:00

It appears we have found many identifiers for Bio-Metrics to identify people. In this new age of International Terrorism with bad guys trying to get Pilot s Licenses, HazMat Driver s Licenses, get onto airlines, step onto buses and sneak over our borders we need a fool proof system. Currently we use fingerprints to identify criminals and those who hold important positions. Some of the newest forms of security include retina scans, voice prints, palms, DNA, Implanted RFID Chips, etc.

We have devices, which can see thru trucks, pick up the scent of bio-weapons that use heat to pick-up illegal human trafficking inside vehicles. We need sensors to pick up human intent. Lying devices tell us when someone is exuding thru facial sweat glands, but what about a person who is not close to the device? Inside a vehicle, in a crowd or approaching a sensitive check point. Advanced warning could be the difference between life and death.

The human plume of odor is highly detectable and we are figuring out ways to use this to identify approaching human threat. One way that is not talked about enough is the electromagnetic signatures given off by people. Every human body has a set of biorhythms. The nerves use electrical signal, the pulse and heart rate are also very significant and unique to human beings. Even the brain waves are detectable thru the waves, which are sent out. The skull acts as an antenna and with careful fine-tuning and calibration we can detect these waves. It appears that animals can sense these as human approach them.

We are now able to build devices, which can detect minute changes in brain waves from afar. Such detection could help us identify someone in a crowd with evil thoughts and a sense of call to action to prevent a flare up of violence. Guards could be alerted that intruders are approaching and have high heart rates and negative intentions. This could be good for Border Security or perimeter control or fighting in Fallujah, while entering an area where an ambush could occur. They say that the seasoned veterans of war and those of the soldier of fortune mindset have a sixth sense about this. Do they? Or are they in tune to slightest anomalies in approaching brain waves? Well? There are enough real world war stories that there has to be more to this.

The brain waves of humans work at frequencies of 20 Hz during an agitated and hyper state of potential combat. Those who are approaching a facility will be at such a state and their bio-systems and bio-rhythms will give them away. For instance during the 9-11 incident in the parking structure one of the International Terrorists was so hyper sensitive and stressed that he cussed out and yelled at someone in the parking lot who was about to take the parking spot he wanted. It is quite evident that such a stress on the bio-system probably went with himself and the team all the way thru the airport, onto the plane, in the flight and right into the World Trade Towers. If someone had such a state of mind, hyper bio-rhythms, they would be flagged to be further scrutinized, perhaps there is another explanation? Perhaps there is not? Such a system might have stopped the 9-11 hijackers?

Could Bus Stops have such sensors within their design to alert the driver to bypass the stop and not pick up the passengers that time around? In Israel it would be a good idea and prevent radical suicide attacks. In the US it might prevent problems on our buses as well. In the case of a roadside check point the car might be flagged as it approached the crossing point to a separate and more secure area for a further look with a greater degree of caution? Could such devices help at our Mexican and Canadian Borders as well? Surely it could.

We believe further research in the stressful displacement in the bio-rhythms of criminals, International Terrorists, Drug Runners, Coyotes, Smugglers, insurgents and attackers could be reduced significantly using such methodology.

The device would focus energy waves at a device across the road or hallway of an airport. Any waves near the spectrums of bio-rhythms of the human body s bio-system would be recorded by their amount of disruption of the traveling wave. Waves such as personal cell phones, computer PDAs, Heart Pace Makers, car stereos, automobile radar detectors, spark plug resonance, friction sound waves from squeaky brakes would not be anywhere near the bio-rhythm waves and would be deleted from the signature of the approaching car or airline patron approaching the metal detector machine.

I propose a study of 1000 people of different ethnic persuasions to test and to put these test subjects through various stressful situations and record their biorhythm disruptions on a beam of energy. In our study we will also allow for disruptions of various hand held devices such as MP3 Players, Sony Walkmans, radios, pace makers, etc. to see if we can accurately discern the emotional displacement of the individual human at the crossing point through large databases of possible combinations within the realms of potential non-threatening biorhythms. Eventually we will prove we can preempt an attack and pull out a large percentage of potential culprits in advance of a horrific event.

Another Biorhythms

2008-06-07T01:11:00.000-07:00

The true value of astrology lies in self-knowledge, the first step to wisdom.

Introduction - The Astrology of TimeThe ancient Maya and Aztec astrologers studied the mysterious influence of the rhythms of the sky on earthly life. Everyone knows the Sun rises and sets every day -- this is the basic rhythm of life around which we set our clocks and calendars. What the ancient astrologers discovered was that other time cycles existed that were multiples of this basic day cycle.

This fact was discovered about 100 years ago in Europe and these cycles (there are many of them) are now called biorhythms.The most important time cycles in ancient Mayan and Aztec astrology are those of the day, 9-days, 13-days, and 20-days. Additionally, years are counted also, in groups of 4 and 13. Each day is then part of several other cycles, so no two days are exactly the same.

Maya/Aztec horoscope shows exactly where in each of the cycles you were born. Keep in mind that our personalities are complex and contain many contradictions. All of us present a different "face" depending on who we meet. The delineations will reflect this, but they will also give you a clear picture of who you really are. The true value of astrology lies in self-knowledge, the first step to wisdom.

Biorhythms As An Aphrodisiac

2008-06-03T22:57:00.000-07:00

Nandan Biomatrix, an integrated company in the field of Nutraceuticals and biofuels, today launched 'Bio-Rhythm' a natural product that fills the gap in the management of male sexual dysfunctions.

Addressing media persons at the launch of the product B Jayakumar, Director Technical Nandan Biomatrix (NBL), said in the present era, men are under more pressure than ever before and the Bio-Rhythm is found to increase libido, reduce stress and improve energy.

Safety studies of Bio-Thythm reveal that Bio-Rhythm is safe for human consumption and suitable for long term usage. Nutritional study reveals that Bio-Rhythm is rich in zinc and other herbal constituents which, in turn, promote production of testosterone by the body naturally and protect sperm from free radical damage, thereby rejuvenating the body. The launch would be followed by similar launches across Andhra Pradesh and in other South Indian states.

The company is foraying into international markets with the appointment of distributors and registration of Bio-Rhythm with the Ministry of Health of Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar, Cote D'Ivoire, Hungary, Redpublic of Yemen and Canada. Jayakumar said current global Aphrodisiac market is approximately USD 3.8 billion and projected to touch USD 6.6 billion by 2012. The total Indian Aphrodisiac market is approximately USD 0.05 billion (200 crore), which includes herbal and allopathic products.

Something About Biorhythms And Basketball

2008-06-02T21:18:00.000-07:00

“I quit,” Robinson countered and left the gym.

Just like that.

The way Robinson remembers it, the event happened before the Mountaineers played a pair of consecutive road games — at Duquesne and at Notre Dame — but the box scores on WVUstats.com shows that Robinson missed only the Notre Dame game.

In fact, against Duquesne, he scored 16 points while Moore was warming up with 37 points, including 13 for 13 from the free throw line.

But the team took off for Notre Dame, having to face a Notre Dame team that included Orlando Woolridge, Kelly Tripucka, Dave Batton and Bill Hanzlik without Robinson.

The coaching staff obviously knew they were in trouble.

“You know coaches,” Moore said, “they’ll do anything to make you play better.”

At the time, checking one’s biorhythms was the rage, a cycle that is supposed to be able to predict what kind of day you will have.

“Early in the day they said something about my biorhythms and said this would be my worst day of the year,” Moore recalled.

Later, at the arena, assistant coach Jim Amick, who had recruited Moore, called Moore aside.

“We need 40 or 50 points from you,” Amick said.

“What?” said Moore.

“Well, you average 20 points. Maurice is gone, and he averages 20 or so points. We need you to make up for it,” said Amick.

“But you tell me it’s my worst day of the year,” said Moore.

Amick shrugged and walked away.

“Well, for whatever reason — the game was on TV, my Mom was watching, maybe because Red Auerbach was there — I got caught up in the game,” Moore said.

Oh, it was the mismatch everyone thought it would be. West Virginia trailed 52-33 at the half.

But Moore was on fire.

“They tried everyone, and no one could guard me,” Moore said.

That, of course, included Hanzlik, who went on to become one of the best defensive players in the NBA in the 1980s.

Moore hit from all over, going 12 for 25 in field goals, 16 for 17 in free throws — giving him 29 of 30 in his last two games — but the Mountaineers lost, 103-82.

But no one remembers the score of that game, only what Moore did. It seemed to be the start of one of the great careers in WVU history, but he never could repeat it, in part because Gale Catlett became the Mountaineers coach in 1979 and he used a system that worked against an individual becoming a star, as evidenced by the fact that he never sent a player to NBA after Moore.

Moore’s average, 21.3 as a sophomore, dropped to 17.3 as a junior and 16.4 as a senior. In his senior season, he scored 30 points only once while scoring fewer than 10 points seven times.

Human Daily Biorhythms

2008-06-01T20:17:00.000-07:00

Do your homework and you’ll be sure to find general diet suggestions based on the body’s natural biorhythms.

You may not be aware of this, but all creatures on planet earth and especially human beings, have natural patterns of three daily body cycles. These laws of biorhythms are so precise they follow exact time patterns. Here they are:

From approximately 4 am to 12 pm we have the Elimination Cycle. During this time the body likes to purge itself of toxic waste materials and unnecessary food metabolisms including salts, proteins and acids. You should consume adequate amounts of fresh seasonal fruit during this cycle. Not only does this supply raw materials to cleansing unwanted substances, but it also makes sure the colon is well hydrated and fed. Fresh raw fruit is a great staple in verifying this Cleansing and Elimination Cycle works like clockwork.

From about 12 pm to 8 pm we have the Energy Cycle. During these hours nutrients are processed from the food you ate and allows for the creation of energy. And like the Elimination Cycle, fresh, organic vegetables and fruit are invaluable in supporting your body to maintain a natural biochemical and electrical body balance.

The third and final cycle is called the Regeneration Cycle and as you probably guessed by now affords the body to take the time it needs to heal and make repairs. This is when the body should receive plenty of quality sleep. During this third cycle, the body absorbs the nutrition from all the food you’ve consumed during the day and then uses these nutriments to rebuild each living cell. If the sleep cycle is disrupted by irregular work patters, night feeding of your baby, travel across time zones or other reasons, the cells do not regenerate and this eventually leads to quick aging. For the body will both feel and look the part. Thus you may see the importance of balanced dieting, regular sleep times and sufficient exercise. This will reduce the amount of toxins your body absorbs and aid a more happy and peace state of mind.

Do your homework and you’ll be sure to find general diet suggestions based on the body’s natural biorhythms. And it must be pointed out at this stage of the discussion, that getting rid of constipation is also important in any validated health program. Understanding and following these principles are vital for improving and then maintaining any measure of health and vitality.

Buy organic if possible. Or even locally grown is better than store bought produce for the most part. This will help ensure the purity and nutritional content of your foods and helps to avoid pesticides, antibiotics, hormones and other unsavory elements.

Along with fruits and vegetables, you can add raw seeds, nuts and sprouted grains. Flour isn’t the best ingredient in our foods and probably should be avoided when doing a serious cleanse. That means flour of all kinds - even whole grain - as it becomes acidic when crushed into flour from the original grain.

If you haven’t been exposed to much raw and organic produce it may be a stretch for you to make the transition from cooked, fried and denatured processed foods. Take it slowly and start by eating fresh fruit daily. Maybe after you’ve become accustomed to that you can think about eliminating one toxic food and beverage per week. Sure, it may take you months to accomplish this, but it’s a goal worth achieving.

Marilyn's Deadly Biorhythms

2008-05-31T00:22:00.000-07:00

I found a chart showing Marilyns biorhythm on the day she died - according to her birthday.

I don't know what you all know about biorhythms they are basically a way of predicting human behavior. They are supposed to predict the days of greatest physical, emotional and intellectual well-being. But even more important, as a useful way in forewarning of those days in which precautions should be taken so that potential accidents might be avoided.

Biorhythms are based on the theory that human behavior is influenced by three basic rhythms or cycles of energy: the physical, which has a period of twenty-three days and regulates an individual's vitality and stamina; the emotional, which has a period of twenty-eight days and regulates creativity and sensitivity; and the intellectual, which has a period of thirty-three days and regulates the memory and decisionmaking process. The cycles begin at birth, working independently of each other, but having a cumulative influence on man's behavior.

Each cycle is divided into halves. The first half is when energy is readily available and can be channeled into successful ventures. The second half is a "recharging" period, during which it is advisable to refrain from strenuous efforts. Because of the different lengths of each cycle, all types of combinations can occur; for example, one may be overflowing with physical energy while intellectually and emotionally drained. I found a chart showing Marilyns biorhythm on the day she died- according to her birthday.

This chart illustrates the position of Marilyn Monroe's Biorhythm cycles on the day of her death. An interpretation of this chart could be that Monroe's emotional and intellectual state were responsible for her decision to commit suicide at a time when her physical resistance was low. It would be interesting to see all the other people who were with Marilyn on that day to see what their 'biorhythms' were like. Specifically Eunice Murray to see if she was predicted to decieve others....

- This reminds me of a short story I read: it was supposed to be day Marilyn died and she was reading her horoscope that was giving her all these warnings and telling her to stay calm and don't do anything rash, etc. Anyway in an afterward the author said that in fact that was Marilyn's REAL horoscope that he researched and somehow got for Aug 5. 1962

- Actually, I see nothing serious in the biorhythms state above. Moreover, I've checked Marilyn's biorhythms in Free and Easy biorhythms calculator

There are no critical points, overal state is about 50%.

This is a good day for professional development, reading, and learning. Scientific research or quiet office work is favorable. Increased mental activity leads to an interest in intellectually-based games.
Physical state: Negative
Emotional state: Negative
Intellectual state: Positive
Intuitive state: Negative

The intuitive minimum is characterized by a loss of the sixth sense. Decisions made intuitively at this time may prove false. There is no inspiration for creative work.

See, nothing serious ...

Biorhythms In The Practice Of Acupuncture

2008-05-26T20:44:00.000-07:00

We all know something about biorhythms. Basically, a biorhythm is an internal clock that regulates our bodies in relation to the daily positions of the sun, and the monthly positions of the moon.

This can be seen in the time it takes our bodies to adjust to small changes, such as the changes of daylight savings time, or in large changes, such as jet lag. Our understanding of and interest in biorhythms has been recent, within the last thirty or forty years.

The ancient Chinese observed this connection between our bodies and the planets many centuries ago, and use it in their practice of acupuncture. They list a number of different biorhythms, from the normal twenty four hour cycle up through longer several day periods. All of these are used to follow and influence fluctuations in body energy.

In acupuncture, this energy circulates through each part of the body throughout the day, each organ having a two hour time for maximum energy and a time for minimum energy. For example, the major organs have their maximum energy in the following order: first the liver, then the lungs, large intestine, stomach, spleen, heart, etc., in sequence, for all of the twelve major organs. This order was discovered by years of observing the times of day that the disorders of the various organs displayed their worst symptoms. The acupuncture practitioner can use the times of a patient’s symptoms to help determine which organs and energy channels are affected, and also help select the favorable times to treat the patient. For example, many of the worst asthma attacks take place during the wee hours, which is the maximum energy period of the lungs. The best time to treat these cases is at a time as close to this time as possible.

In the science behind acupuncture, a symptom may be caused by too much energy at an organ, and other symptoms by an insufficient amount of energy. (The determination of which symptoms fall into which category has been catalogued over many centuries, and there are many books on acupuncture detailing these for each of the major organs.) The best time to treat a symptom associated with too much energy is during its maximum energy output, and a symptom with a deficiency in energy is just after the maximum output is over. Of course, it may not be possible to get to your practitioner at those particular times, and there are also other good choices at other times of the day.

In addition to the daily biorhythm, there are also ten day intervals associated with the moon, and so the acupuncture practitioner might strongly suggest that a particular day would be better for treatment than another, based on the particular symptoms reported. Each day of the ten days is associated with one of two aspects of the Qi energy, and also associated with one of five elements. Particular organs are associated with particular elements, and so stimulation of these organs will be more successful on those days associated with the correct element.

It is important for us to take note of the times our symptoms occur as well as what our symptoms are, for that is important information in our acupuncture treatment plan. And know that the time and dates for our treatments are an important part of how well the treatment works.

Biorhythms As A Mirror

2008-05-25T22:32:00.000-07:00

Sometimes people claim to be exhausted when really they may only be bored. Often these exhausted souls are fighting a much more enigmatic foe - apathy. Until they want to see the world differently there is nothing to be done for them.

Others suffer due to a lack of stillness. Sadness comes in the form of being forced to play games all alone. The mental monkey never quite subsides. Even if it were - the silence becomes deafening. The only cure is to vegetate.

The final and true form of exhaustion is to be too drained to continue.
I have first-hand experience with this. I was training my metaphysical gift with a Biorhythm chart today. I watch the curve vacillate between -100 and +100 and notice that this sine wave mirrors the truth in my violence.

The Primary rhythms show I have been physically tired and will become more so until Wednesday. However, I am on an intellectual and emotional upswing (finally) which will encourage calm waters. The Secondary rhythms show that my Wisdom path is heading in the right direction as well. This time next week I should have a more positive outlook on life. My vacation has fallen exactly when I needed it too.

Then I charted our compatibility and see again that our rating is 63%. (63% Average = Physical = 48%, Emotional = 69%, and Intellectual = 71%.) I see that I am not happy with us mostly because we are not seeing fully eye-to-eye on anything. Regarding physical intimacy, for instance, we seem to be on opposite sides of the spectrum.

The bottom line - I want off the train. This ride is not fun, effective, supportive, or inspiring. I've waited two years to see it grow into its potential and I am further away than ever before. What do I want to do about it? Quit. I am exhausted. I have maybe 40-50 years left...
If I don't die from a broken heart next week.

Fortune Biorhythms

2008-05-20T22:13:00.000-07:00

Recently I've found yet another online biorhythm calculator at freebiorhythms.net. However it looks interesting enough because of very uncommon rhythm called fortune biorhythm. I've never heard about this rhythm before and ... why this sinusoid with 23-day period looks like usual physical biorhythm shifted on several days?

Here goes a description from website:
Biorhythms have nothing to do with stars or the supernatural; they are simply cycles of human abilities. You have probably noticed that you do not have the same physical, intellectual, emotional or intuitive abilities each day, and that your degree of "good fortune" varies considerably also.

Once you have excluded other factors, you may notice that your abilities tend to cycle, in other words, they go up and down at fixed intervals. As a result, you have certain times when you are at your peak in one or more areas and of course other times when you are at your lowest ebb.
The science behind biorhythms dates back to the late 19th Century, the era of Sigmund Feud, when various psychologists, professors and scientists studied mental and physical states and discovered that these states appeared to be governed by cycles of 23, 28 and 33 days. There is a lot of material on the internet about how biorhythms affect people, even to the claimed degree of influencing the gender of an unborn child.

You may be wondering how we are able to calculate the "fortune" biorhythm, when the degree of good or bad fortune we experiences is seemingly random and beyond our control. However, there is significant research on this subject which indicates that to some degree we are able to make our own luck, purely by our mental state. When we have a pessimistic outlook, we fail to notice the good things in life and are likely to overlook opportunities and "lucky chances" that are all around us.

However, if we have an optimistic outlook, we are more likely to turn ordinary situations into opportunities to better our lives and ourselves. Our fortune biorhythm should help you to understand when you are more likely to attract positive situations into your life.
We also offer a unique user-adjustable biorhythm, which allows you to experiment with and develop your own biorhythm sine wave based on your own findings. For instance, you may notice differences in your sexual desire and energy which are cyclical.

Good luck with new fortune biorhythm cycle!

A biorhythm (from Greek βιορυθμός - biorhuthmos) is a hypothetical cycle in physiological, emotional, or intellectual well-being or prowess. "Bio" pertains to life and "rhythm" pertains to the flow with regular movement. Biorhythms theory has no more predictive power than chance, and has been labelled a pseudoscience by skeptics

I first heard about Biorhythms many years ago and at the time I got myself a book and got quite into it all. It did seem to have some substance in that, critical days were often not good ones for me! It is said that people make many more mistakes on critical days; and also have more accidents!

I have recently started to get back into it as I have a gadget on my Google desk top that automatically shows me that days chart. So much more convenient than drawing the chart by hand as I did when I was first interested.

The blue line equals the Physical cycle, the pink line is the Emotional cycle and the brown is the Intellectual. All the cycles vary in length. Each cycle starts at zero on the day you are born. The Physical cycle is 23 days, the Emotional is 28 and the Intellectual is 33 days. These are known as the primary rhythms.

There are also 4 secondary rhythms: Spiritual =53, Awareness = 48, Aesthetic = 43 and intuition = 38. The site where the Google gadget gets it's info. says the following:

How to interpret biorhythms readings
Each biorhythm is zero when you are born, then it changes by a sinus-like law with the period equal to specific number of days depending on the rhythm (physical - 23 days, emotional - 28 days, intellectual - 33 days).

At any time each biorhythm is between -100% and 100%. Closer to 100% is better, closer to -100% is worse. The color of the circle shows this number visually, for example: pure green is 100%, green-grey is 50%, red-grey is -50% and pure red is -100%.

Special attention should be paid when the biorhythm is 0% or close to 0%. The days when the sign of the biorhythm is changed are called critical days, the circle becomes special . It was observed that people make many more mistakes on critical days.

If you are interested take a look at what Wikipedia has to say: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biorhythm

If you want to get your own charts then just Google the word "Biorhythm" there are loads of free sites.

It all comes in cycles

It all comes in cycles, according to Faron Young. From careers to songs to marriage to emotions, everything in life runs its course.

But right now if someone decided to make a biorhythm chart on Faron, it would show all the rhythms coming to a peak. Yes, Faron, who has been at ebbtide for a few years, is making a gradual climb again to the top. Like he says, it’s a cycle.

There are several reasons for this revitalization, but the major one is a recording project with Willie Nelson. Although it seems Willie has by now recorded with practically everyone, the seeds of this particular project were planted three years ago.

“Willie asked me to do this before he ever did the first album with anybody. Brilliant me,” Faron laughs. “I’m so brilliant, I said, “This won’t work. You and me can’t sell records with a duet!”

But the time wasn’t right for the project. For a long time Faron didn’t take Willie up on the offer but he was quick to oblige when Willie invited him down to Texas to visit and indulge in their common passion of golf. While playing, the question of recording together came up again, and this time Faron figured “What the heck.” It was only a short walk from the golf course to Willie’s recording studio.

“Willie has the studio right there on his golf course. We would go in and sing three songs and go out and play golf for the rest of the afternoon. There wasn’t no hurry up and get something done with this ’cause you’re worried about the money or the time being spent,” Faron said. As a result, everybody was relaxed.

“We flew down a bunch of Nashville musicians and got Willie’s old gut string guitar and we just went there and had a good time,” said Faron. “I stopped recording a couple of years ago and now Willie’s gonna make me famous and I’m gonna have to go back to work again!”

Once again a cycle is completed. When Faron was on top he helped a then-struggling songwriter. “Willie came here to Nashville and I used to loan him money for groceries. And I cut Hello Walls and that got him started as a songwriter,” he recalls. Of course, that tune was good for Faron, too.

“And now that I ain’t doing nothing, he proved he could help me. Willie Nelson is one of the few guys who don’t forget and you have to love and respect him for that.”

The new duo premiered some of the new material at Wille’s Fourth of July Picnic this summer. The album, which is yet to be released, was produced by Fred Foster and will feature no backup vocals, just Willie and Faron. That, Faron figures, would be enough.

AID Motivation: Use Biorhythms

If there is one thing I found most difficult to stick to consistently, it was regular exercise. How about you? I talk in my book about the importance of increasing our activity to raise our heart rate, three to four times a week. I also talk about the ‘Stickability’ factor but one thing I haven’t mentioned is working with our biorhythms.

So lets examine what I mean. Have you ever tried to go to a gym or increase your activity after work or later in an evening? How about 6am in the morning? Believe it or not the time you set aside for extra physical activity has a huge impact on how you manage to stick to it.

We all have an inbuilt mechanism that regulates the flow of energy in our body. At certain times of the day there is more energy available to us than at others. This is our biorhythm. If we are in tune with it and working to its rhythm, whatever we do will flow more easily and be more enjoyable. Work against your biorhythm and you will always struggle.

For me, my optimum time to exercise is 6am! This is when I am most full of energy. Undertaking an activity at that time of day seems to set me up for the day. I feel more energetic and find that my mind rarely wanders to thinking about food. When there is an opportunity to get more active during the day I find myself enthusiastic and not resistant.

But that is my biorhythm and yours may very well be quite different. So how do you regulate your increased physical activity to your biorhythm? If you haven’t thought about it before, give it a go and let me know how it works for you.

Biorhythms will be useful in family planning. Children conceived during favorable periods in the cycle will have a greater chance to get the best of both parents.

*******************************

I have been reading bit about this and somehow believe that there is something to it. I concieved my DD when my energy was neutral to Boy and my DH in neutral. The swaying methods outlined here take moon into effect among other things but not the biorhythms. Is it because there is no study done/found on this part?

From my personal experience I feel that when I am in BOY energy my body responds differently. I get preseed quality EWCM and want to BD more. Generally have a positive attitude towards everything and kind of have a happy go lucky feeling. But I only have 2 of this kind of times this whole year , and one of it is gone already. Now I can attempt in neutral to BOY energy levels. But I do want to create that happy go lucky feeling. I am not sure about girl time since I am not giving much attention to it.

May be I am rambling but hoping to find someone with similar experiences.

*******************************

I haven't experienced this but it sounds interesting! So would having a negative attitude and sadness mean girl energy? For some reason I always think I should conceive when I'm optimistic and high energy to have a girl?? Don't ask me why ... no reason.

*******************************

Very interesting stuff. Do you have any article or links you can share with us for further reading on this...... Very intriguing for sure.

The Secret Of Time

2008-05-09T22:25:00.000-07:00

The secret of time is that it is the 4th dimension. The codes of time are found in the sacred calendar of the classic Maya, known as the Tzolkin. Within the cycle of the 260 day Tzolkin there is a 13 day galactic cycle, associated with the "galactic tones" and a 20 day solar cycle, associated with the solar tribe glyphs. These two smaller cycles turn together and overlap to form the 260 day cycle. This is the cycle of 4th dimensional time, which comes into the solar system from the galaxy.

It runs concurrently with the 365 day cycle of the year, to create 4th dimensional time as it applies to this solar system. Time is both spiritual and physical simultaneously. This is why it is the 4th dimension. It serves to bridge between the physical and spiritual because it operates within both. This calendar is designed to help you understand the aspects of time as the 4th dimension and to give you access to the physical and spiritual aspects of time.

The natural cycle of physical time is governed by the movement of the Earth around the Sun in a circle. It is then divided by the movement of the Moon around the Earth in a circle, the 28 day cycle coded into the bodies of all women on the Earth. This is the cycle that governs the physical aspects of life. Men are coded with the 28 day cycle, as well, in the 28 day biorhythm cycle. This calendar also shows you the corresponding dates from the 260 day sacred calendar, the cycle that governs the spiritual aspects of life.

The Dreamspell Calendar offers you the ability to access both the physical and spiritual aspects of time, in a very natural way already coded into the lives of everyone. It is also designed to serve as a conversion calendar from the old 12:60 time to the new time of 13:20, as it contains the dates which correlate it to the 12 month calendar everyone now uses, known as the Gregorian Calendar.

You may ask, "If this cycle is so natural, why aren't we already using it?" Actually, all ancient indigenous peoples used this system long ago, not just the Mayans. The 12 month calendar commonly utilized today is known as the "Gregorian Calendar" because it was instituted by the edict of Pope Gregory in 1582. However, it is just an update of the original Julian Calendar, the calendar instituted by Julius Caesar as a calendar of conquest.

Biorhythms And Negotiations

2008-05-06T18:58:00.000-07:00

Your energy can drag in two ways. One is the effect of your very own biorhythm or energy cycle. The other is some specific factor that affects you at a specific time for a specific reason. I talk about the biorhythm first. Every human being has a biorhythm. That means that each person has a time of day when his or her energy naturally peaks and a time of day when his or her energy naturally slumps. Its part of the human condition and it’s slightly different for everyone. This rhythm occurs totally independent of any specific events. You have heard people say, “I’m not a morning person” or “She’s a real night person.” They are talking about the natural biorhythm. By the time you become an adult, you have a good idea of what the best time of the day is for you to do various things.

And it’s not just the amount of energy, but what the energy is good for. I like to write in the morning. If I can, I schedule meetings for the afternoon so my reading and drafting activities take place during the morning hours. That’s me. If at all possible, I schedule serious negotiations for the afternoon. What is your biorhythm? How do you normally function in the morning, the afternoon, and the evening? It’s important to do what you can to match your activities up with your own natural biorhythm. This isn’t always possible, not even for me, but it’s a worthy goal to have in mind. In the office, try not to schedule negotiations for the latter part of your workday, if that’s when your energy tends to be lower. For you, your mind won’t be as fresh as it is before lunch, for example. You don’t carry the “baggage” of your workday with you if you schedule meetings during the first half of the day. On the contrary, you may have had a good day at work and you’re pumped and ready for a negotiation late in the day.

But what if the other party is experiencing an energy drag? What if the other party isn’t having a good day? Perhaps your counterpart doesn’t want to listen. Your negotiation is then similarly in danger of not proceeding well. The unfortunate truth is that often the two negotiators will have different rhythms to their energy. You just have to try to make things work the best for you because it’s not possible to change someone else’s rhythm. No matter what biorhythm may be involved, more often than not specific circumstances will trump the biorhythm. Sometimes people are just too tired to listen. Listening takes energy. If your energy is flagging because of a lack of sleep or the crush of other business, you have a hard time listening. Be aware of that fact. You probably have said or heard, “Slow down, I’ve had a long day at work.” That’s the sound of a good negotiator, someone who knows that you can’t always listen at top speed. If the speaker needs to slow down for you to fully participate and pay attention, just say so.

I created Captain Biorhythm

I created Captain Biorhythm 1976 to inspire skateboarders to wear safety equipment and learn biorhythms to cut down on accidents and injuries and optimize their performance.

After spending 3 years taking care of my mom and 4 years taking care of my dad 24-7, there is a big hole in my life. Getting up a couple times a night to change diapers, get water, adjust night clothing, pray with them to help them overcome nightmares, dealing with no sense of time or what day it was, etc. was a daily challenge...no sleep, emotional angst, constant depression.

I never could have made it without my right brain hero personality Captain Biorhythm. He really came through during the most difficult times...encouraging me when there was no hope, calming me during the times of great FEAR that appeared during all the near death events and trips to the emergency ward, helping me make the decisions to keep them alive when it would have been easier to let them die and providing joy when sorrow oppressed me like a soaking blanket.

Understanding the ups and downs of biorhythms really helped me with my own daily attitude adjustments. Also, by tracking the biorhythms of everyone in the family, it was much easier to help others deal with the gravity of each catastrophic event and the sorrow of the many mini-crises. Biorhythms was particularly valuable in determining the course of therapy and intelligent drug administrations.

I am sure other Babyboomers will be benefited by discovering their own hero within to help them go through what I have just experienced. I feel it is time to call Captain Biorhythm back out of retirement to help the people of my generation that are being crushed by dying parents on one side and returning children and grandchildren with lives that have failed for a multitude of reasons.

The heroes interviews I have done over the last 16 years have taught me so much. Having heroes share their answers to the heroes questions has helped more than you can imagine. Because of their wisdom and willingness to share it has helped me understand how to be a hero on a daily basis...most of the time (-:

After all, you are a hero some of the time, but not always.

It is a true journey. Few realize the steps along the pathway or understand where they are on their own heroes' journey. One book really helped me understand my life since I created Captain Biorhythm 1976 to inspire skateboarders to wear safety equipment and learn biorhythms to cut down on accidents and injuries and optimize their performance.

Dr. Halberg's Biorhythms: The best times to do something

2008-05-04T23:57:00.000-07:00

More than 50 years ago, Dr. Franz Halberg of the University of Minnesota discovered that many biological processes appear to run according to an in-built clock. Later experiments showed him that living things respond to the same 24-hour rhythm, in tandem with the earth’s rotation.

Halberg also discovered that living things keep in time to many other periodic rhythms; half-weekly, weekly, monthly and yearly cycles govern virtually every biological function.

The human pulse and blood pressure, body temperature and blood clotting, circulation of lymphocytes, hormonal cycles and other functions of the human body all appear to ebb and flow according to some basic, recurring timetable.

Initially scientists believed that the master switch for these biological rhythms was located in certain cells of the brain or adrenal glands. But in his eighties, Halberg made his final breakthrough discovery: The synchronizer within every living thing is not internal but resides in the planets – particularly the sun and solar activity.

In a sense, the sun is our metronome. These rhythms are a ready-made feature of organisms, not simply something learned or acquired – an inherent property of life.

Because of this, we have biorhythms for everything in our lives – times when it is better to do one activity than another. For instance, having a glass of wine at lunchtime makes you more woozy than in the evening because your liver is three times better at detoxifying the alcohol in the evening than at midday.

Here are the best times to carry out activities in your day:

7 am: The optimum time to have sex, when the body produces a surge in hormones and adrenaline. Testosterone levels rise during sleep and reach a peak in men after a night’s sleep.

8:30-9: The best time to eat, since blood pressure and your metabolic rates are at their highest. Hence, the old adage to ‘eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper’. A huge meal will put on less weight in the morning than later in the day.

9:30-11:30 am; The optimum time for test taking, when your short-term memory and brain power are at their sharpest.

2 pm: The perfect time for a nap. The worst time to drive or operate equipment, as it is most likely time for an accident.

2:30-3: The best time for recall or reminiscing; long-term memory peaks.

4-6 pm: The best time to exercise – your muscles are at their warmest of the day, your reaction time, hand-eye coordination reach their optimum.

6-8 pm: The best time for mindfulness meditation, when sensory ability is at its most acute, and also problem solving, as the blood flowing to your brain peaks.

7-9 pm: The best time to share with friends and loved ones, as cortisol – the stress hormone – and blood pressure drops.

10-11 pm: The best time to sleep, when production of melatonin, the hormone inducing sleep, surges, and heart rate, body temperature begin to wind down.

As a cancer survivor, Lindstrom recalls a very therapeutic experience with massage. She was inspired to teach other to remember a time when they listened to what their bodies were telling them.

“My experience told me that I wasn’t taking care of myself,” she said. “That is when I decided to go into massage therapy.” Lindstrom said people forget this as they try to do too many things. She wants them to realize that they cannot care for others unless they watch their own health first including the mind, body and spirit.

Lindstrom studied massage at Eagles Nest Institute in Duluth, which is now a program at Lake Superior College. Yoga and tai chi was also taught as part of massage. She said many therapists do not practice more than three years because of repetitive stress injuries. The profession is very taxing on the practitioner, she added. She said massage manipulation helps increases blood flow to the muscles and brings more oxygen to the tissue. With it comes the relaxation the client needs to become more aware of their health.

“My goal in massage is to help people quiet themselves,” she added. “So that they just focus on their own physical and emotional wellbeing.” Shirley Early is lifelong educator who is readying for retirement and a new career in biorhythm systems. She combines biofeedback data with her education background to help clients make good choices.

Her journey to naturopathic health began ten years ago when her own health began to deteriorate. Doctors could not find the source of her issues and she began to look at how she worked, ate, exercised and just lived as a way to gauge her overall health.

When Early found out that she had been suffering from Lyme disease, she looked at holistic health in her effort to begin feeling well again. Her training taught her that to de-stress the body helps eliminate energy blockages to create a condition where good health is more likely to follow. The biofeedback field uses an electronic box to read body pulse and muscle contractions to teach a person relaxation techniques. To be able to teach others how to do that is Early’s goal. She expands her education specialty into health with classes on essential oils, yoga and on choosing good supplements from the bad ones in an unregulated industry.

Listen Biorhythms To Be Puzzled

Your friends are all abuzz about you and some new hottie you’ve been spotted with. Let them wonder if there’s really something going on. You don’t have to kiss and tell-unless you really want to!

Wha-t-t-t?? Where??? Who??? Me??? Yeah right. I’ve been communing with my couch for over two weeks now. Other then the occasional walk and night out with the arty types, I’ve been slowly sinking between the cushions in my couch and Guardcat may soon be eating creme wittee brulee. You know….since the love between you and your cat can only take a turn for the worst, if you don’t move for a while and you suddenly look like a pile of human Friskies.

I’ve actually been obsessed with two things the last two weeks….lottery tickets and sleeping, with sub-headings of weird dreams and an uncontrollable obsession with numbers. Where should I start? Well, since sleeping isn’t very interesting, unless its WHO you’re sleeping with, and its certainly not the hottie in my horoscope, we’ll go directly to lottery tickets. They’ve been calling my name.

Now even though I’m poor and getting poorer as we speak, I buy a lottery ticket every time I go to the grocery store. Its an obsession. The potential for free money and financial freedom. Why not?? Unfortunately I have monumentally bad luck and couldn’t win anything higher than $1 if God/Allah and Howie Mandell dumped all the lottery ticket machines in New York on my bed.

I mean I just can’t win. Its funny how that sorta parallels my life. The most I’ve ever won was $8. Woo! You should have seen me! I was jumping around like those idiots on “Deal or No Deal”. Although just for the record….I would only jump around on that show if I was near my honey bunny super stud Howie Mandell, not because I was going to pick the case with $1.00 in it. Ya got it?

Anyways, in the last week I’ve been having lottery tickets literally throwing themselves at me. First at the yuppie grocery store where I went to buy my $1. ticket and there it was….a $2. crossword lottery ticket just randomly laying in the tray. Eek! Was it a sign? Or was it that news show that films people in those what-will-they-do situations and then films them to see if they do the RIGHT thing? I’m always worried I won’t and then I’ll be on National Television talking to John Quiones and some nun from my Catholic school days will be sitting in some convent nursing home somewhere, shaking her head in utter shame, saying “I thought witty was better than that.”

So I took the “lost” lottery ticket over to the customer service counter, which obviously had cameras on it from ABC News too and asked if anyone had asked about a lost lottery ticket. At first they wanted me to just “leave it” in case someone came to claim it. I wasn’t born yesterday chickie! So finally the young girl asked around and nobody had been looking for it in the last 1.5 minutes so then it was now MINE….MINE….MINE!!!!!! Woo! Hoo! Was it a winner?

What do you think?

And then the next day I went over to the Village to do my laundry and then onto my favorite ice cream place and on the way back I saw something rather interesting in the trash by the pond. TEN FREAKIN’ LOTTERY TICKETS in the FREAKIN’ GARBAGE CAN!!!!!!!!!!! THE TWO DOLLAR ONES!!! OMG!!! And they were only partially scratched off. And they were calling to me. Really loud…”witty….witty….that economic stimulus check will barely cover all the money the government has taken away from you in food stamps this last month…scratch us…you could be a winner!!”

So there I was on the main street of our tony little Village, overflowing with SUVs and Porches, digging through a garbage can for half scratched off lottery tickets, mixed in with food wrappers and old diamond tiaras, mumbling something about Howie Mandell, I think. Talk about humiliating! Fortunately they were fairly clean, although I had to wash my hands about a hundred times before I folded my laundry back at the laundromat. But there they were…10 freakin’ lottery tickets for the taking!! I didn’t do anything with the tickets until I got home where I found one winner for $2! Woo! It paid for almost a load of laundry. Woo! Call CNN!

So why the obsession with numbers? I’m not really sure, because I’m really terrible with numbers. But I do like free things and money, so I do every little thing online to make money including surveys. Some surveys pay money. Others just offer you gifts. But this last week, one of my gifts arrived and for someone with OCD, it was like the funnest thing ever. A pedometer. It records number of steps. Like four steps from my bed to the bathroom. 8 steps to the fridge. 16 steps to the mailbox downstairs. 39 steps to the library across the street. The other day I went on a hike and recorded 5634 steps. I definitely needed a nap after that one.

And therein lies the other problem I’ve been having lately. Excessive napping and dreaming of strange dreams. Dreaming of having job interviews in seedy places with tall dark ceilings. Standing out by a street in a see through negligee kissing Married Guy with my tongue. And then having him trying to run me down with a car. I mean WTF? What does that mean? Am I trying to resolve strange things in my subconscious? Am I having anxiety about finding a job and having it turn out badly. Or is my next relationship going to end badly, by me getting run over by an SUV? Wouldn’t that be poetic justice, getting squashed by a Dodge Caravan.

So like any overtired, angsty artist type I had to check in on my biorhythms. Why? I had just read the blog of our local newscaster (who incidently lives in my neighborhood. I see him out running). And he had cut himself shaving, punctured his shin with a stick out in his yard and fallen when he was out running….all in the same day. His decision? Check his biorhythm chart. So see, I’m not so flaky. He’s a newscaster fercrissakes! So I went to check my biorhythms. And I’m so glad I did!

First of all I found out that I was 18,340 days old. No wonder I keep needing a nap. That’s almost as old as Larry King and his socks added together. And then I looked at the charts and graphs and most of them were under the normal line, as in bad.

It said: Your general well being is moderate. Tendency: Its getting better.
You are in very good physical shape. Instead of wasting it go for a walk or a jog.
Emotional: You can now see the light at the end of the tunnel. The time for self pity is over. There is only one more hurdle to pass.
Intellectual: You spend these days without any plan or aim. Also, your reactions leave much to be desired.

Holy crap, that’s my life exactly right now. All the couch sitting. Aimlessness. Window staring. Self pity. Oh, and thanks for pointing out that my reactions leave much to be desired, oh biorhythm goddess. See if I ever laugh at your stories about sMatch.com again.

In the end, however, I am somewhat buoyed by the light at the end of the tunnel thingie and also by the fact that I only have one more hurdle to leap. What it is? I have no idea. But dog-gone-it there’s only one left. I just wonder if that will require me getting off the couch and relinquishing my remote control for human contact. Can you imagine how scary that could be?

When Our Biorhythm Is In Harmony

2008-04-29T22:06:00.000-07:00

When we tune in to the cosmic theme, when our biorhythm is in harmony with the biorhythm of nature, our being is in a state of dance to the celestial melody of the cosmos. And when this happens, the inner energies and hidden potentials wake and work miracles for us, effortlessly, naturally....

Yoga is an ancient science that preaches the means to tune in to the whole. Yoga means union. A union that encompass many levels of our existence. It brings about union of different splintered aspects of our self and the union of ourselves with the whole. It also brings about union of movement and breathing, union of mind and body, union of thought and action, union of desire and intent....

It's the result of thousands of years of experimentation and observation by omniscient sages, enlightened gurus and ordinary people like you and me. There is vigour, objectivity and revelation in its method. There is harmony, beauty and inspiration in its expression. Yoga is existential, experiential and experimental.

From the very first session of yoga practice we will experience greater relaxation and calmness, increased freedom of movement, improved balance, enhanced concentration and alertness, increased self confidence, determination and contentment. And as we go deeper into the practice, the profoundness of human potential is realized more and more, making available, powers that lie beneath the patterns of restriction that limit and define us.

Thank you for your prayers.

My dad has suffered no pain and appears at peace. He is in a coma and is just waiting for his body to pass away.

I expect his heart will stop beating some time on Monday or Tuesday, the crossover of his 23 day physical biorhythm cycle. It seems that many of the people I know died on a biorhythm crossover including my mom, my two uncles and Gary Halbert, a famous copywriter I had the privilege of videotaping his memorial and farewell party.

Take care,

Weak Biorhythms Or Just Heavy Gravity Days

2008-04-27T23:20:00.000-07:00

Ever wonder why on some days things go less well than on others?
We've all had them - those days when, unaccountably, we stumble over our own feet, days when our strength deserts us, days when molehills swell into mountains, days when we drop things.

There are many theories purporting to explain such days, but only one which explains them well.

Forget what you've read about biorhythms. Discard the superstitions about gremlins. Trash such nonsense as humidity, barometric pressure, or phases of the moon.

What we're talking about, folks, is gravity. That mysterious tug all objects possess; the affinity of apples for earth made famous by Sir Isaac Newton.

According to Newton's law of gravitation, any two particles of matter in the universe attract each other with a force varying directly as the product of their masses and inversely as the square of the distance between them. The larger the mass, the greater the pull; the further the distance between objects, the less the pull.

It's hard to imagine what life must have been like before Newton came along and enlightened the world to the extent that he did. Folks everywhere must have been wary of apples, expecting them now and then to fly upward or sideways rather than fall down. Once Sir Isaac got things sorted out, people could relax a little, and avoid the undersides of fruit trees.

But mysteries remained. From the time of Newton's major publication in 1687, nearly three more centuries passed before the late novelist Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., published his findings about gravitational force. Newton, said he, had failed to notice one tremendously important point: the gravitational force varies from day to day.

Now, thanks to Vonnegut, we are able to make sense of a whole raft of vexations that puzzled our forebears. Once we understand that the force of gravity is not the same each day, all kinds of things begin to fall into place.

Remember when you last stubbed your toe or bit the edge of your tongue? That, friends, happened on a Heavy Gravity Day. Or when you dropped your cup of coffee in your lap, or failed to toss the crumpled Kleenex all the way to the wastebasket? Another HGD.

Men: do you see now why, on occasion, your belly hangs over your belt? Why the shot you took at that duck last fall was so low? Why you couldn't beat out that infield hit in the softball game?

Ladies: do you understand, finally, why some days it seems your foundation-wear provides insufficient support? Why the cake failed to rise? Why last Tuesday the vacuum cleaner seemed made of cement?

Heavy Gravity Days. Days when the flowers droop and the car gets poor mileage and everything seems so damned difficult.

And, conversely, Light Gravity Days, when there's a spring in your step and a buoyancy in your heart, days when things leap to hand and the grass grows two inches overnight.

Isn't it wonderful, knowing?

Oriental Medicine and Biorhythms

We all know something about biorhythms. Basically, a biorhythm is an internal clock that regulates our bodies in relation to the daily positions of the sun, and the monthly positions of the moon. This can be seen in the time it takes our bodies to adjust to small changes, such as the changes of daylight savings time, or in large changes, such as jet lag. Our understanding of and interest in biorhythms has been recent, within the last thirty or forty years.

The ancient Chinese observed this connection between our bodies and the planets many centuries ago, and use it intheir practice of acupuncture. They list a number of different biorhythms, from the normal twenty four hour cycle up through longer several day periods. All of these are used to follow and influence fluctuations in body energy. In acupuncture, this energy circulates through each part of the body throughout the day, each organ having a two hour time for maximum energy and a time for minimum energy.

For example, the major organs have their maximum energy in the following order: first the liver, then the lungs, large intestine, stomach, spleen, heart, etc., in sequence, for all of the twelve major organs. This order was discovered by years of observing the times of day that the disorders of the various organs displayed their worst symptoms. The acupuncture practitioner can use the times of a patient’s symptoms to help determine which organs and energy channels are affected, and also help select the favorable times to treat the patient. For example, many of the worst asthma attacks take place during the wee hours, which is the maximum energy period of the lungs.

The best time to treat these cases is at a time as close to this time as possible. In the science behind acupuncture, a symptom may be caused by too much energy at an organ, and other symptoms by an insufficient amount of energy. (The determination of which symptoms fall into which category has been catalogued over many centuries, and there are many books on acupuncture detailing these for each of the major organs.) The best time to treat a symptom associated with too much energy is during its maximum energy output, and a symptom with a deficiency in energy is just after the maximum output is over. Of course, it may not be possible to get to your practitioner at those particular times, and there are also other good choices at other times of the day.

In addition to the daily biorhythm, there are also ten day intervals associated with the moon, and so the acupuncture practitioner might strongly suggest that a particular day would be better for treatment than another, based on the particular symptoms reported. Each day of the ten days is associated with one of two aspects of the Qi energy, and also associated with one of five elements. Particular organs are associated with particular elements, and so stimulation of these organs will be more successful on those days associated with the correct element.

It is important for us to take note of the times our symptoms occur as well as what our symptoms are, for that is important information in our acupuncture treatment plan. And know that the time and dates for our treatments are an important part of how well the treatment works.

Everyone seems to be training to be a truck driver

For me at least, my first exposure to the Bell curve was hearing about the placement of the various races of human beings on the curve of IQ. It has become increasingly apparent to me that this type of curve, which, not being a mathematician I would describe as a section of a sine curve, perhaps with some modifiers, can actually be used to illustrate just about anything, particularly when you realise that the factors generating each curve lag another, discrete and separate set of events.

"Wow! Everyone seems to be training to be a truck driver!" is therefore nearing the apex of the bell curve for number of people taking truck driver lessons, and while the initial reaction to this may well be "ooh, it must be a boom area, maybe I should get into it." (you can of course substitute "nurse" or anything else for "truck driver") the considered reaction should be "there is a sign of an impending surplus in the market".

The reasons are fairly simple, the rising demand curve for truck drivers starts to generate a phase delayed rising curve of truck driver students, and as long as the demand curve is a positive number, the lagging phase of the driver training curve is also going to be positive, in an electronic circuit we know this as an amplifier, there is an inherent "gain" built into the system by the lag in phase between demand and supply.

Of course, in a *practical* amplifier circuit we will also have a feedback loop...
Back in the day, when computers were much less complex and my limited by talent and dyslexia programming abilities were sufficient to code a graphical biorhythm plotter, I stumbled upon one of the interesting things about harmonics.

We had a 23 day physical cycle, a 28 day emotional cycle, and a 33 day intellectual cycle. Now it doesn't matter if these cycles are complete crap or right on the money, the interesting point is this, if you start all three cycles on the day of your birth, it will take some (from memory) 30+ odd years before the whole average of all three plot returns to its original position.

Now this is a *hugely* simple and orderly initial data set, yet it is generating a remarkably complex curve, simply by averaging all three, which takes decades to run a full cycle. Substitute "demand for truck drivers" + "relative appeal of truck driving compared to other available work at that time" + "supply of truck driving school places" and we can see that NONE of these have nice fixed cyclic periods, so while we will still get a remarkably complex curve out of them, there is no basis to assume that it will ever reset or return to the point of origin and repeat the cycle, moreover, each of these input variables are themselves the product of other ongoing relationships.

Computationally the problem is ferociously complex, and by far the best and most accurate way to model it is to simply treat the actual object as the model and observe it in real time. We graduate and mature from being Mathematicians, trying to accurately plot and model these ferociously complex cycles, to Philosophers, accepting that the underlying truth is the existence of these cycles... a tree has growth rings, we cannot predict accurately how thick or thin each of the next ten rings will be mathematics, but philosophically we know there will be ten rings, and allow that there might be a Krakatoa event making one of those rings so feebly delineated from its neighbours that there are for all intents and purposes nine rings instead of ten, but there will still be rings.

As a human being approaching half a century on this planet, I understand that the ageing and gathering experience with age process tends to move us along the line from mathematician to philosopher, it takes a lot of data to reach the critical point when you can start to philosophise, and until you get there you're stuck with the mathematical approach of playing the numbers.

As a younger mathematician type I would observe the plethora of truck driving schools buzzing about and think it was a bandwagon that I should maybe consider hitching a ride on, as an older philosopher type I observe the plethora of truck driving schools and consider that lean times are ahead for truck drivers, as supply rapidly overtakes demand.

It's the bell curve thing, you really need to get into whatever it is (computing maybe?) at the bottom of the curve, somewhere near the meadows, and then you need to do what I didn't do with respect to computing, you need to embrace it like the new messiah, mind, body and soul, instead of aimlessly wandering around with your path denoted by interesting and pretty things.... and then you need to get OUT of whatever it is when it seems like it is booming, long before the curve starts to plateau, and look for the next valley.

Only trouble with this is it's like biorhythms, you get maybe 3 cycles in a human lifetime, and it takes maybe 1.5 cycles before you become philosopher enough to realise that there are cycles, and like the surfer positioning yourself on the rising wave uses the wave energy, not yours, to move you.

The Norse peoples used to name themselves by whose loins they issued from, Lars' son, whereas my Anglo Saxon heritage tended to name themselves by what they did to earn a living, Smith, or perhaps where they came from, my youngest, nearly a year old now, carries a surname that reflects his genetic heritage of scores of generations of hard rock miners, he's already showing quite distinct and distinguishing traits of sinewy strength, and his first names are taken from his grandfather and great grandfather, a boy's got to know where he comes from, like the past rings in the tree, it's the only thing you can depend on as a frame of reference.

My dad didn't give me much advice, I now realise, he taught me an incredible amount, but that can be classed as skills, not ideas, as I get older the philosopher in me takes over from the mathematician, and I realise he too was a philosopher, he knew you could only teach the kid how to (figuratively speaking) build a decent surfboard and some basic hydraulics, you can't plan the sea state in advance, and let nature take its course. Leaving your child equipped to deal with whatever the cycles bring was the most you could do.

I'm in the same boat as mentor to kids and young adults, much of the time I say nothing, because there is no point, holding their hands will only teach them to be dependent, and making their own mistakes and hopefully learning is the only way they will get from being mathematicians willing to play the odds on insufficient data to philosophers who haven't already bankrupted themselves while mathematicians...

Society as a whole is just adding millions of extra basic data sets to our biorhythm curves, the added complexity is a problem for the mathematician, the persistence of cyclic events irrespective of the base complexity is the basis for the philosopher.
Will we have another Great Depression?

The mathematician will reach for the spreadsheet and try to analyse the data, furiously industrious, in an attempt to beat all the other mathematicians.
The philosopher will know that sooner or later it is inevitable, and float out there amongst the swells on his home made surfboard, chatting amiably to to other philosophers, enjoying what they can out of life, and waiting for the next big wave.

By way of a post script, one of my first and longest lasting handles / domains, which I only let lapse when I became philosopher enough to realise that DNS is a mathematicians solution, was Surfbaud, this was about 1994, I'd heard the term "surfing" from America, in the BBS days, 9.6k, and it clicked that if you wanted to "surf" you needed "baud", about two weeks later I saw a Motorola advert "How can you surf without your baud" (which google returns zero hits for) and so it kinda stuck.

Biorhythms In Writing

Let's face the truth: biorhythms are about as plausible as horoscopes, tea leaves, and and any other sort of future-telling device. But they're fun, and because they seem to have a pseudo-scientific basis, they seem more real than most others.

There are days when I feel out of it and find I'm on a critical day, as I am today, though I'm not feeling out of it at all. A couple of days ago, I got back into exercising throughout the day, restarting my body's metabolism each time I did that. The positive effect of exercise, unlike biorhythms, is not a theory but a fact, and apparently exercise can kick biorhythm's rear end.

Beginning a couple of days ago, I was not supposed to try to do any intellectual or creative things, like writing stories. As if I needed another reason to procrastinate.

But...I have a short story I need to write for a contest, and this is the time I have to work on it. A couple of ideas didn't pan out like I wanted. But the third time, despite the curse of my biorhythms, I was able to write a pretty good 2000-word story, and I've been tweaking it today. I tend toward liking it.

I think the best thing to do with biorhythms is to let whatever they say guide you into doing something to work against the bad days and with the good days. For me, that means keeping in shape, upping my veggie intake, and doing my best at whatever it is.

I wish i'd post this sooner, but i was so busy handicapping the upcoming NCAAF and NFL games, and i rarely post any if at all in the MLB section. Here's a retread of what i've posted in my thread from the NCAAF section:

I'll use tonight's Colorado Rockies and Boston Red Sox game as a example of how i handicap games. Besides looking at stats, trends and the situations involved, i attempt to predict how the players will perform in the game. First i take a look at their biorhythm charts.

As you can see, both pitcher's charts are in the negative phase, indicating a possible poor performance. Although a slightly better grade for Beckett as he's the pitcher with post-season experience. Next, i take a look at their astrological aspects reading. This part is very esoteric so... if you're already confused, that's okay.

With this information at hand, i deem a Red Sox Moneyline to have tremendous value, even at a 2:1 payout ratio. A C-/D- grade for Jeff Francis is really bad; he's going to get pelted. Thus a Red Sox RunLine wager also offers a lot of value.

Beckett picks up a bad aspect as Venus[conjunct]Saturn, but his biorhythm chart begins to creep up to the positive side. I dropped his rating down a notch from what he got in Game 1 as he's working in hostile territory this time around. He's only 4 years removed from a post-season championship win and his experience will come through once again. I'll be wagering on the Red Sox MoneLine for all of the games.

Take this info however you want. You don't have to believe in biorhythm and astrology or whatever. Maybe its just all coincidence. But it will not be a coincidence as the Boston Red Sox wins another World Series and join their brethren sportsmen known as the Patriots in attempting to build a dynasty.

Dr. Tatai, MD, one of the leading biorhythm safety consultants in Japan, believed hormonal imbalances were the cause of biorhythm instability that resulted in accidents, injuries and mistakes on unstable days. Dr. Borkin also realized through his research that our beloved pets suffer hideously because of hormonal and electrolyte imbalances. Dr. Borkin's lab will soon be adding testing for brain chemistry along with hormone testing for pets and animals.

Their levels of balance are similar to that of humans. It is time our cats, dogs and horses were spared the ravages of cancer, arthritis and other life threatening viral, parasitic and bacterial infections. It is amazing just how healthy a person or pet can be when their hormones and brain biochemistry is balanced by supplementation. Dr. Borkin will soon be offering special testing for professional athletes and top-performing animals, industry leaders and important politicians who want to look and feel their best. By addressing health problems at the hormonal and biochemical levels, the return to health, well-being and optimal performance is possible. A wonderful life is also available for pets, at a minimal investment, when their owners seek to provide hormonal and electrolyte supplementation that will restore hormonal balance and biochemical homeostasis for their pets.

Everyone who has ever loved a dog, cat, or horse knows how tragic and painful it is to lose our best friends needlessly to catastrophic diseases that ruin their quality of life and lead to premature death or euthanasia. Over many years, Dr. Borkin has created a Four Module training program for doctors and health experts.

Do you remember or did you ever know about biorhythms? They're a set of cycles that your body goes through, supposedly starting the day you're born. When I first heard of them, there were three main segments: physical, intellecutal, and emotional.

Now there are more, which I'll get onto later. As you can see from my chart for today, all the arrows are pointing down, and rain predominates. The overall assessment is a 53%, which gives reason to the statement often made by members of my family when they say in answer to "how are you," "oh, about half."

Biorhythm practitioners claim to be able to chart good, bad, and critical days for a person. Critical days occur when a rhythm crosses the line between up and down. Those are days to be wary of how you react to stresses in your life. It's easier to see where the lines cross in the chart below, taken from the same day as the graphic above.

Even hairier are days when two rhythms cross at the same time. Looks like my next one of those is coming up in January. And even more rare than that, as you may well imagine, is having three rhythms be critical on the same day. I'm having one of those next February, but one of the three rhythms is the new "intuitive" rhythm. This was not part of the original rhythm selection back in the day. Still, with my emotional and intellectual paths also crossing the line and my physical at its lowest point, I may take a personal day February 21, if only to blog about the day.

WhiteStranger.com provides a nice free version of its Natural Biorhythms tracker. Besides the intuitive track, they've also put on a secondary rhythms chart that assesses wisdom, mastery, and passion, along with an I-Ching chart that provides info on your aesthetic, awareness, and spiritual rhythms. It's fun, something to do when you can't stand to "invest" any more time with fantasy sports or sudoku. :-)

Biorhythms in Architecture: Vaastu shastra

Vaastu shastra, or vastu, as it is more commonly known, is the ancient Indian system of architecture that involves designing a home or a building in a manner that aligns it with nature's five elements – earth, water, air, fire and space. The result is meant to enhance residents' well-being.

Vastu houses observe the principles of vastu – an ancient methodology involving elements of architecture and design that states one can align a house to nature's five elements to create physical, spiritual and mental well-being.

Vastu asks us to align our biorhythms with the universal rhythms in which the sun plays the most vital role. The sun's rays from the northeast in the early morning are a source of rejuvenation. On the other hand, exposure to the southwest, where the midday sun rays ultimately collect.

We honour the positive aspect of the morning sun by placing lightweight, low and delicate furnishings in the north and the east so that the healthy rays of the sun flow freely through each room. Also, vastu houses, especially those that are built from ground up, deploy mathematical calculations believed to maximize the flow of good energy into the house – Hindu temples in India follow vastu strictly.

It’s been five months since the Mets blew a seven-game lead with seventeen to play, completing a collapse for the ages. Baseball statistician Bill James rated it the third-worst in baseball history. On the last day of the season, the Mets needed a victory over the Florida Marlins, a crummy team with half their spikes already on their La Guardia charter. New York sent 300-game-winner Tom Glavine to the mound. He retired only one batter. The Mets lost, 8-1. After the game, manager Willie Randolph had tears in his eyes.

It was a just conclusion. In retrospect, the 2007 Mets were the antithesis of a championship team; it just took a complete 162-game season to prove it. There were bungled front-office moves, namely Minaya’s firing hitting coach Rick Down and replacing him with Rickey Henderson, who last distinguished himself in a Mets uniform by playing cards in the clubhouse during the 1999 playoffs. By July, Jose Reyes had quit running out ground balls and descended into a second-half pout that even Rickey had to admire. Then slumping first-baseman Carlos Delgado told reporters in September that the team was so talented it sometimes got “bored.” You know the rest.

Baseball is a game of contagious confidence when you’re winning, infectious depression when you’re losing. “You can’t really know why this thing happened,” Randolph told me after a spring-training game. “Why did Colorado win 21 out of 22 games? Were they the best team in the National League? No.” The usually placid manager moved his right arm up and down, mimicking a parabola. “I believe in vibes and biorhythm. These are humans playing a game, not robots. It’s all about rhythm.”

Biorhythms And Personal Energy

A couple of years ago I was asked to be a keynote speaker at a women's conference. While I was on the phone with the organizer, I quickly looked up my biorhythms for the conference date. I had a quadruple high! Yahoo! I gladly accepted the invitation, and guess what? I gave the most inspiring and powerful speech I've ever given.

The biorhythms are continually moving and changing, waxing and waning. The physical cycle is 23 days long. That means your physical energy will go from the bottom, when you feel somewhat listless, to the top where you feel you can move mountains, and back down to the bottom in 23 days. As you guessed, the physical biorhythm influences the energy in your body, your physical strength, and health.

Because your biorhythms fluctuate up and down, every day is different. One day you might have a high mental and low physical; another day you might have a low intuitional but a high emotional. Never a dull moment! You can guess what activities are good to do according to your biorhythms. Some days are better to just stay in bed, while other days you might feel you could move mountains!

When a cycle is at a high point, you feel full of energy in that area of experience, whether it is mental, physical, emotional, or spiritual (also called intuitional). You feel the ebb of that energy when the cycle is at a low point. The cycles go up and down, ebbing and flowing throughout your life, as natural as breathing.

Computed from your birth date, you can track your biorhythms daily on the internet. Being aware of your cycles will help you be more conscious of managing your energy. This leads to taking better care of yourself, going with your own flow, and planning your life to make the most of your natural energies.

There are biorhythm programs you can buy on the internet but you'll be fine with a free program to start. Go to Google and search Free Biorhythms. When a site comes up, type in your birth date, and click on your free biorhythm chart for today. (Bookmark this site as a favorite so you can find it easily every day.)

You, too, can make the most of your life by tracking your natural energy flows on a biorhythm program. You'll have a great day and a healthy life!

Dr. Paul Jacobson, Director of their Center for Teaching Excellence, regularly organizes teaching circles, book discussions, and speakers. I found these tips on their website for "Beating those Bio-rhythm Blues: Keeping the 8:00 and 3:30 Scholars Involved and Learning" by Professor Rachel Serienz.

Be active. Walk around as you speak. Use facial expressions to convey your own reaction to a concept being addressed whether that reaction be acceptance, amusement, or disgust.

Engage in community building. Keep current on who is achieving what...Acknowledge these achievements with a brief mention. Even elicit a brief round of applause. Open your lesson in a way likely to engage student attention.

Acknowledge and honor learning diversity. Realize that your class will contain auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learners and make sure that each lesson makes students listen, look, and write or do. Nearly half of college-age students are quite concrete-operational meaning that they learn best when actions and objects are used in teaching, or when teaching is related to their own concrete experiences.

Link lessons. Present a question to which students are expected to bring an answer to the next session. Have students open a session by reiterating what was learned during the previous session and then show them how what is to follow will be an extension of what they have already learned. But still use a novel "Launch" at times. The best way to fight the bio-rhythm blues is through diversity.

Biorhythms and Sudoku. Necessary part of life nowadays.

Turns out that reverting to my backup computer has had some positive repercussions.

As I limp along with my old Gateway, I am having to rediscover certain things that I might have known at one time, but forgot from non-use. How does a computer connects to a wireless network? Why will it connect to one network and not another? Why does trying to get it to connect to a second network cause it to stop connecting to the first network?

Figuring out (and giving up on some of) these questions takes time away from other, more enjoyable procrastination-enablers, like biorhythms and Sudoku. But they are a necessary part of life nowadays. Like changing oil in my cars myself used to be. (I really did that about half a dozen times in my youth!)

Did you know that you can access your Recently Opened Documents in the new version of Windows Start menu? I didn't till I started trying to figure out something else and found that facility still available in some menu box I accessed. Huzzah.

I'm not sure what other tidbits of knowledge I will acquire as I await the return of my default laptop. Whatever I learn and fix up on the backup computer, I will get to review when my regular one comes back.

Maybe I should switch out computers every month or so, just to keep my mind alive. I'll think about that some more, right after I solve this latest Sudoku puzzle.

Biorhythms: Not Feeling Quite Right

Do you ever have that feeling that I am not feeling quite right? Today is one of those days as was yesterday and the night before. I feel a little like the color of this print-muted and dull. I often tell people my bio-rhythms are off. You do know about your bio-rhythms don't you? This is your physical and emotional state. If you physically are a little down and emotionally a little down, then you are at your lowest-bio-rhythm point.

The days you pray for and relish when they come is when both of these hit their high points. These low days affect you and your activities for the entire period of the low. It is a struggle to run and I have to make myself do it, I don't have the high level of energy that I normally enjoy, and I'm kind of in a fog. I am thinking the physical part may have something to do with my sinus. I come from a family of allergy sufferers. Everyone in the family, except me, took allergy shots and suffered with multiple sinus infections every year.

Momma used to tell me that I just sniffed and kept going. I really never thought about it a lot. I am popping the decongestants in an effort to unclog, but I am sure I will bounce back in short order. For today I feel like the character in Charlie Brown that walked around with a cloud just over and around his head. THIS TOO WILL PASS!

Biorhythms For Superman

According to my biorhythm chart (which, you recall, is pure bunk but interesting in its pseudoscientific disguise), this week should have been the week that I could do no wrong.

Wrong.

That is the cord that plugs into the AC adaptor for my main computer, which I call Toshiba. Lucky, perhaps, for Toshiba, the other end of the cord was not plugged into the computer when I plugged the prong end of this baby into the outlet. When I did, it flashed like a 1940s paparazzi bulb, stinking up the place with the smell of burned rubber and wire.

This from someone whose biorhythms say he can do no wrong. I guess I should have run the biorhythm for the computer and its parts.

Speaking of the computer, it got back from the shop ten days ago and worked fine till two days ago when the wifi started acting up again. Finally it was unable to connect wirelessly, and I had to use the cable. But sometimes the wifi works after I spend a quarter hour redoing the keys and weps and whatnots and restarting a couple of times. Just the thing for someone who needs 26 hours to get through a 24-hour day.

At the computer store, I find out that the adaptors for computers are in the $120 range. I'm a little shocked, but I persevere. "Can't I just buy this part of it?" I ask, holding up the fried cord.

"Oh yes. You can get those for six or seven dollars," the store associate tells me. "They're the same as the cords used on Xboxes or Playstations."

Of course, they didn't have any of those in stock, but luckily I was able to use my Gateway's piece till I find one.

That's not been the only anti-biorhythm event of this week, which was supposed to be my superman week. I tried to make popcorn a couple of nights ago. We've been doing it the old-fashioned way, boiling some oil and throwing in the kernels from a bag. Easier to control the ingredients, that way. My first batch was good, but too small. The second batch was still too small and a little burnt. The third batch was good, except for the quarter bag of kernels that fell onto the floor instead of in the pot.

Lucky for me all that happened, I guess, because when the computer piece blew up, I only cried about it for a second.

Biorhythms and Chronoterapy

2008-03-30T19:44:00.000-07:00

Chronotherapy takes into account how our body’s natural rhythms’ impact our ability to process medications. Patterns like sleeping, menstrual cycles, even our physical response to the changing seasons, are different for everyone. In the old days we called these biorhythms. Today, doctors are finding that understanding a patient’s biorhythms, and coordinating the timing of their medical treatments to these biorhythms, can profoundly affect the outcome of their treatments. This is called “chronotherapy.”

“Every drug has an optimal time when it is least toxic and most effective.” says Keith Block, MD, editor-in-chief of the peer-reviewed journal Integrative Cancer Therapies, and Clinical Professor, Department of Medical Education, at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Chicago (UIC), and at the Department of Pharmacology. For cancer treatment, this is determined by several factors, including the biological uniqueness of the particular drug being given, the time when the specific type of cancer cells divide the most, when the normal healthy cells of the patient generally divide the least, the patient’s circadian clock and individual rest-activity cycles, and even the time zone the person resides in.”

According to Dr. Michael Smolensky, co-author of the book The Body Clock Guide to Better Health, “When cancer medications are given in a chronobiological manner, patients may be able to tolerate higher, more potent doses than would be possible otherwise.”

“This method of administering chemotherapy is revolutionary and has demonstrated in large randomized trials its potential to improve survival,” states Dr. Block. ”We have found that often patients receiving chronotherapy reduce what would have been recurring side effects of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fatigue. This is important because the debilitation caused by chemo can cause patients to reduce or even stop treatments that could otherwise help them win their battle with cancer.”

How Do I Use TeamBios To Pick Winners Versus the Spread?

TeamBios Program – Finding Winners You may be wondering what makes our online programs different from the rest of the biorhythm programs on the Internet. Our program is backed by 30 years of research and development where we computed over 60,000 NFL and NBA games. We also collected hundreds of other individual examples of success stories and unusual luck. During the past 30 years we’ve run over one million players and other individuals in all walks of life to find the data that makes our programs so accurate. A key discovery of our research is that we’ve found when athletes have the best potential to play exceptionally well. So, if you know the date of the game, it’s simple to find the point spread winner by using TeamBios.

We also discovered what cycles are most important in each sport. All you have to do is look for the +, H and # in each of the three columns for each player of a team. This signifies optimal performance. My program uses precise biorhythmic values combined with statistical data to compute winners versus the spread at unusually high percentages.

Biorhythms And Music

2008-03-27T23:29:00.000-07:00

Researchers in the field of medicine have been conducting research into medical properties of music. While in his or her mother's womb, a baby can develop a reaction to music. Of the five human senses, human's ability to hear is the first one to "be enlightened." Unborn babies in their mothers' wombs can listen to the mothers' heartbeats, breathing, and talking. That's why modern parents give their babies prenatal education, such as exposing pregnant mothers to music. Clinically elegant and relaxing music helps reduce stress levels, ease breathing and nourish the organs.

One American scientist discovered that music is composed of waves of resonance, which can both influence one's feelings and resonate with the human body. Meanwhile, music contains a variety of rhythms, while our body movements tend to follow musical rhythms. In consequence, changes of musical rhythms work to accelerate and regulate our biorhythms. Hence, some capable doctors would carefully select music of various rhythms to cure patients of various symptoms.

Ancient music was classified into Qingyue and Yayue (elegant music), which served the purpose of purifying one's soul and mind. It was believed that good music had a beneficial effect on the human body. This was why ancient music was always of a slow tempo, for the purpose of letting people calm down. After listening to music, one is supposed to achieve spiritual tranquility instead of emotional excitement that seems to drive people out of their mind. Confucius once said that music should in fact be elegant.

Biorhythms In Sport

In the seven years that I've been at this crazy sport, I have learned a lot. I won't bore myself (or you) with a summary of it all, but I will say that one thing that has largely escaped my learning is being able to figure out why some days I have 'good' runs and some days I have 'bad' runs. Of course, there are some factors that I know will contribute to a bad running day. For example, if I eat a lot of sugar and junk the day before, my legs - especially my calves - feel really tight and painful the next day. I don't really know why... I've chalked it up to some form of mild, temporary gout or something like that.... in my mind... all the sugar and junk trickles down to my calves and makes the muscles sticky. Makes sense, right?

But for the most part, I can't figure out why some days I feel great and other days not so much. I haven't found any consistent correlation with sleep, hydration, time of day, etc. Anyway... today was a good day and that is something to be happy about. I was on the treddy this morning and did the first warm-up mile at my usual warm-up pace (8:40), but as I starting increasing the mph's I found that my legs, heart, and lungs were responding really well. I felt great and as a result, kept the pace under 8:10, which for me is a bit faster than usual... and I probably could have even ramped it up beyond that. Cool. Of course, I'm not naive enough to totally trust it... I'm sure it's an anomaly and I'll be back to huffing and puffing to maintain an 8:20 pace sometime soon. But that's fine... it was nice to have a good day today.

In trying to figger out why today, Seebo suggested that perhaps it was related to my biorhythms. I had heard the term before, but was not familiar with what it really meant. Apparently, this was big in the 70s when I was like three. So, of course, I Googled it.... and wouldn't you know.... looks like today is right about at my 'peak' in terms of my physical cycle... which, of course, relates to my "strength, health, and raw physical vitality".

Apparently the theory of biorhythms claims that one’s life is affected by rhythmic biological cycles, and seeks to make predictions regarding these cycles and the personal ease of carrying out tasks related to the cycles. These inherent rhythms are said to control or initiate various biological processes and are classically composed of three cyclic rhythms that are said to govern human behaviour and demonstrate innate periodicity in natural physiological change: the physical, the emotional, and the intellectual (or mental) cycles.

Well… hmm… ok. Obviously I like the sound of rhythm… and the periodical behaviour of these biorhythms relates nicely to my field. Maybe this is some new ground breaking scientific research which would be worth looking into?

From this plot I can see that my intellectual “bio”-whatever… is at an all time low during the coming exams. But on the uphand it looks like all my stars, biorhythms and angels are gonna align around the 19-2-2008. Watch out world…

Captain Biorhythm

Rich was very impressed with the possibility of being able to know which days would be optimal for outrageous performance. He wanted to minimize mistakes, injuries and accidents as much as possible. He bought every book available on biorhythms, and a special biorhythm calculator to research the subject thoroughly.

Slowly Rich regained control, withdrew from the confrontation, walked outside, and punched in the necessary information into the biorhythm computer. Sure enough it was a, unstable day physically with low biorhythms emotionally and intellectually, a perfect day to make a bad decision, the exact same values major mistakes had been made in the past which had caused incredible amounts of great, financial loss, and wasted time.

Rich was uncertain but one night in a dream the answer was revealed. "Captain BioRhythm," a totally centered individual who is the personification of an aware human being, possessing clairvoyance, psychometry, retrocognition and astral projection, precognition, ESP, psychokenisis, total recall, ambidexterity, and incredible athletic ability was the solution. A human being who utilizes 100% of the abilities of the human mind, body, and spirit seemed appropriate.

A trip to the Goodwill Store with a girlfriend resulted in the procurement of a velvet dress, which with some expert alteration, became a Roman toga type outfit and when combined with elbow and knee pads, wrist braces, shoes, and a helmet the personification of Captain BioRhythm was created, BioRhythm awareness and skateboard safety were merged into a cohesive symbol.

The day of the contest arrived. Biorhythms predicted the possibility of an accident or incredible achievement. Rich feared he would crash and burn and suffer severe injury but decided as Captain BioRhythm the cosmic forces would keep everything under control.

I always consider things that pretend to know who I am based on my birthday a big scam. Horoscopes? Scam. How can the same thing be happening to a million people all born in may at the same time?“Gemini - you will have trouble dealing with financial issues today. You’ll be surprised by a distant friend. Be cautious with new relationships today and you will build a long lasting bond.”
My friend is born in May - we’re gonna find a new relationship on the same week? What about a guy born on the same day as me? We’ll go broke at the same time, or be lucky financially - all in the same day?
Exactly. Scam. Horoscopes are always so generic that you can either make them fit, or they’re completely neutral. There are tons of numerological scams that fit the same boat. Biorhythms is another one. I tried the biorhythm thing. I never noticed *any* correlations between the sine curves and my intellectual, physical or emotional fluctuations. Sure, if I watched it long enough, maybe I’d get my body to follow that rhythm, but that’s reverse engineering.But somehow I’m compelled to be amused by these scams, and this last one was pretty interesting.It was a scam program on facebook. Click the link, enter your birthdate, it tells you everything you already knew about yourself. Or didn’t know, but now believe because it tells you. Or maybe you just make it fit, so that you *can* believe it.

Watch.Just by entering my birthdate it tells me:

Now, I don’t believe in lucky colours of course. But I hate Orange (this includes the fruit, the flavour, and the colour!) so I’ve inadvertently (or advertently?) dodged my lucky colour, hence my disbelief. I mean, if you never FIND your lucky colour, it’s easy to believe you don’t have one. Yet, if you believe you have a lucky colour, it’s easy to tell yourself that you’re lucky around it. I’m so glad it was the first option, and not the second. To think!! I’ve been missing out all this time… Now all I have to do is find a tangerine coloured shirt, and a tangerine coloured car and a tangerine coloured coffee mug. And stuff like that. And it can’t be ‘carrot orange’ - because they’re pretty close! So I’d better be careful. Maybe I can set my blog to tangerine. Coming soon.

Biorhythms Research: New Implementation Of Biorhythms

Unlike astrology and biorhythms, Astro-rhythms are individualized and highly detailed guides that pertain specifically to you. Imagine knowing beforehand what each day holds for you; your potential for creativity, your daily strengths and weaknessses. Astro-Rhythms can help you determine which areas of your life are optimal -- or challenging -- on a day-to-day basis in an easy-to-read graph. Astro-Rhythms combine astronomical and astrological data within a biorhythmic format providing customized charts formulated from your birth data.

Astro-Rhythms compare your Natal Planets -- the planets aligned at your birth -- with the ever-changing cosmos. Astro-Rhythms is the result of years of development tracking heavenly bodies and checking their relationships to each other on a mathematical basis a lot of which was formulated by the group called Brotherhood of Light. Because the universe is constantly in flux and planets have such varying orbits, Astro-Rhythms charts have near-infinite possibilities, yet they are simple to use.

Biorhythms deal with just three biological cycles of humans: Physical, Emotional and Intellectual. Astro-Rhythms deal with TWELVE aspects of your personality, are much richer in detail and show a much wider range of potential, but are just as easy to read as biorhythms.

How can all of those people have the same potential as you each and every day? Most astrology charts are directed towards A LOT of people. Each astrological sign contains an entire month's worth of birthdates. Astro-Rhythms is tailor-made for you. In order to have the same chart as someone else, they would have had to have been born at the same time, place and location as you.

Hmmm? Well let me tell you a little story. Carl left the house this morning at 4:45 to head to work. He made his usual stop at Stell's for a cup of coffee. Then he did something he's never done before. He locked his keys in his car. Inside the car was his briefcase and his cell phone. He had a meeting in LA at 7:30 where 40 people would be waiting for him. So he called me and I drove him into work. He said the "f" word once so I know he was upset. But on the drive he was remarkably calm and in good spirits. At 4:30 pm I picked him up at his office and he got behind the wheel. As we were driving along I-10, he enthusiastically noted the flashing board that said 20 minutes to the 405. "That's a good sign," he said.

He merged into the carpool lane where he was abruptly stopped by the highway patrol for driving in a 3 person carpool lane during the hours of 4-7, a ticket which will cost him approximately $271.00. He waited patiently while the officer explained the violation and we drove him in relative calm, enjoying Little Steven's broadcast on Sirius radio.Now please note the chart above. His physical and intellectual rhythms were at their lowest point. His emotional level was at its peak. Perhaps that explains the unusual turn of events and his ability to handle them so well.

Biorhythms vs. horoscopes

2006-01-31T22:02:00.000-08:00

Author: Dmitry Konovalov

White Stranger Group

I am often asked, what's the difference between biorhythms and horoscopes? Are the forecasts of Natural Biorhythms similar to horoscopes? And would the biorhythms help me win the lottery?

Let me explain what biorhythms are and how they relate to horoscopes.

Horoscope comes from studying positions of the planets of the solar system at the moment of your birth. The planets, as seen from the Earth, are positioned in a circle and form a certain picture, which is said to symbolically represent your character. The position of the planets changes with time, and the horoscope can tell about possible changes in your life.

To discover the symbolic meaning of the planets, astrologers closely followed lives of hundreds of people. They juxtaposed events in people's lives to the changes in the position of the planets, and tried to understand the meaning of their influence.

Therefore, one could say that horoscopes are based on observations and statistics. But the stars only make suggestions, which lack certainty and accuracy.

Human desire to know future allowed astrology to develop for thousands of years and to become a powerful tool in the hands of those who can use it. Thoughtfully prepared horoscope can shed light on problems of the present and suggest ways to solve problems in the future. For centuries influential people of this world came to astrologers for advice and some of their foretelling became prophetic.

Currently, massive interest in horoscopes and their wide accessibility brought on a change to the meaning and the very essence of horoscopes. It's difficult to find a popular publication these days that wouldn't offer a horoscope to their readers. Google search spits out 7 million links, if you search for "horoscopes". You can find any number of horoscopes in the matter of seconds, starting from the general horoscope for that day to a specific horoscope about tying shoelaces for the whole year for Taurus born in the year of a Wood Rooster.

What do such horoscopes promise? Anything under the blue sky. Today they promise you a win in lottery, tomorrow - the love of your life. They range far and wide, from vague descriptions, like "the person you are thinking of is thinking of you" to definite statements like "today you should change where you work" or "you should wear red all day today".

This would all be fine, but there is the question of accuracy. How well can you trust such horoscopes? Here are a few fragments from forums on professional astrology websites:

Q: What do you need to write my horoscope?

A: We need date, time, and place of your birth; description of several important events in your life, preferably with exact dates and some comments; description of your profession, hobbies, problems; questions that you might have. The most important thing is the desire to seriously and honestly discuss your current problem. If you have a question regarding relationships, we'll need similar information about your partner, as well as the date of your first meeting and the beginning of the relationship.

Q: I am a Leo, or, according to the Chinese horoscope, a Rooster. Will I be able to get my money that I earned and that were taken away from me? Am I ever going to get rich? I also noticed that according to the description of a Gemini, they are not likely to have a successful marriage, regardless of the Zodiac of the person they marry. How can that be?

A: Your question suggests that any Leo, born in the year of a Rooster, should expect to become rich. People with such astronomical nonsense shouldn't expect anything good. As far as Gemini is concerned, it's all nonsense, since everything depends on the individual horoscope.

Q: Do you write individual horoscopes? If yes, what do I need to send you?

A: I've said many times that writing individual horoscopes by correspondence is profanity. Individual horoscopes take many hours in conversation with an astrologer. How do you imagine doing it by correspondence? If you are able to come to an appointment, then by all means. Here, on the website, I do not write individual horoscopes. It's serious and hard work.

Q: Can you tell me how to attract luck in lottery?

A: I can't. It's either there from your birth or it isn't.

Professional astrologers make a point that only personal horoscopes, created preferably from a personal meeting, are meaningful. The cost of a consultation starts at $50. General horoscopes are nothing more than entertainment and a tribute to fashion.

Now let's take a look at biorhythms. Like horoscopes, biorhythms reflect the influence of cycles in our life. As far as we know, biorhythms were discovered and widely used in ancient China. They thought that the causes of such cycles were changes in the positions of the sun, the moon, and the planets.

European founders of biorhythmology in the 19th century thought that biorhythms were regulated by the endocrine glands. That, however, did not explain the regularity of the rhythmic changes.

Modern studies showed that the work of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th energy centers (chakras) are synchronous with the fluctuations in physical, emotional, and intellectual biorhythms. Their intensity in the maximum periods is the highest and in the minimum periods - the lowest. This shows the cosmic nature of our biorhythms. It's interesting that sun's full rotation around its orbit is the same as the period of a full emotional cycle, which is 27 days. The cosmic space influences our energy field and transfers energy to certain glands. As a result, we feel internal changes.

There are three basic biorhythms: physical, emotional, and intellectual, plus an additional one - intuitive. The cycles begin at the moment of birth, go through different periods, and continue to influence us throughout our whole life. Each of the biorhythms reflect certain capabilities of the person. Note, that the rhythms do not define the capabilities, but rather show their potential.

So if you are at a zero level of the physical cycle, it doesn't mean that you will lie down flat all day, but it may mean that you won't break any sports records. It will mean that the body needs rest and it would be best to restore your strength.

The rest of the rhythms behave in the same way: intellectual rhythm at its highest is favorable for scientific work, interviews, and conferences; at your emotional high you will not be able to show your most sensitive and attentive self to your partner. So you can see that it's possible to tell pretty accurately how someone feels at any time! by looking at the combination of their biorhythms.

Physical (also known as male) and emotional (female) rhythms were discovered at the end of the 19th century. Thousands of patience were observed and the results were statistically recorded. Later on, the intellectual and the intuitive dependencies were discovered. If you look at the biorhythms on a graph, they look like waves with their highs and lows.

To analyze current rhythms and to make forecasts, the modern biorhythm theory uses the combination of the three basic rhythms and an additional one. Positive and negative fluctuations of each rhythm gives us 16 combinations, which allows us to characterize any day in detail as well as compatibility of any two or more people quite accurately.

To review, the biorhythms can:

- Forecast the physical, emotional, intellectual, and intuitive capabilities of any person at any given time. It may be very useful for planning of important events, such as job interviews, exams, public speaking events, making deals, competitions, long trips, or the start of new relationships.

- Biorhythms can tell you when to be extra careful or when to use your maximum potential.

- They can analyze the compatibility of partners and the interactions between two or more people. This applies to romantic relationships as well as to the prospects of joint ventures.

What biorhythms can't do:

- Money. Biorhythms can plan out favorable days for making deals, or for highest intellectual and intuitive capabilities. The rest, however, depends on you.

- Luck. To a great disappointment, there just isn't a graph for luck. Biorhythms can help determine your intuitive and emotional capabilities, but certain things should be left for the forces from above.

- Love. Biorhythms can help you find an ideal partner, who would fit all of your criteria, and with whom you could live a long happy life. But it's going to be your task to meet such a person, make them fall in love with you, and to be worthy of their love.

To conclude our topic, here's a summary about biorhythms vs. horoscopes.

They have much in common:

- people experience the influence from space and from nature
- the influence is cyclic and predictable, as are human capabilities
- the analysis of the influences can be recommended as a forecast
- the forecast is individual for every person and is determined by the date their of birth
- the analysis can be performed for any time in the past, present, or future
- both tools cover most of the important topics in one's life

At the same time, there are some differences:

Biorhythms can only consider person's capabilities. It's not possible to use them to foretell human catastrophes, wars, natural disasters, events in one's life, or human fate. However, biorhythms are easier to use - you just need to know the birth date and the biorhythms software is going to calculate the rest.

What remains unquestionable, is the fact that intuition, intellect, emotions, and physical condition of a person go through regular periods of change. Knowing about these fluctuations will help you harmonize your internal world, your relationships with others, with nature, and the universe. And if you need to resolve something really serious, no program is going to replace a live person with a professional approach.

Life Cycles Research & Development

Published: 07 Jan 2006

In 1976, while serving in the U.S. Army, I was on tour of duty in what was then called West Germany. I had recently finished some advanced training in signal theory and waveform analysis. Shortly after I completed that electronics course, as fate would have it, a friend that I practiced Martial Arts with introduced me to Biorhythms. I immediately drew a parallel between these 3 cycles of life called Biorhythms (23 day Physical, 28 day Emotional, and 33 day Intellectual cycles) and the properties of electrical waveforms. It occurred to me that Biorhythms were, in part, electrical by nature since the central nervous system is a powerhouse of constantly changing electro-chemical activity.

I began experimenting with different combinations of these 3 cycles and found that there were 3 distinctive fluctuating patterns (what are now commonly known as the "Secondary Rhythms" of Passion, Mastery, and Wisdom). As time went by I began to know instinctively, without looking at my chart, what conditions these patterns were in by the mood I was in. I had never heard of "Secondary Rhythms" before so I called them "Mood Patterns". I would compare my "Mood Patterns" with my moods on a daily basis and found that they were fairly consistent.

I also saw that by combining all 3 cycles I could see a more complex pattern. Sense this was a representation of all the energies of the Biorhythms I decided to call it the "Life-Force Pattern" or "Chi Pattern" after the Asian concept of "CHI" (meaning "Life Force") that I had learned about in my Martial Arts training. Years later Natural Biorhythms would refer to it as an overall rhythm represented by a histogram. However, there still seemed to be something missing, so I continued to search for more information on the subject.

A few years later in 1979, after I finished my hitch in the Army, I decided to further my education and work towards my Masters degree in Electronics in my home state of Kentucky while I worked part time in my Parent's used book store. For recreation I continued practicing Martial Arts; and working in a used book store presented me with a massive amount of reading material on Martial Arts and related topics that I might not have had the opportunity to read otherwise. That's where I ran across a book about I-Ching which mentioned 4 cycles that started at birth. This intrigued me because up until then I had only known of 3 Biorhythms which started at birth -- but to my surprise they all had cycle lengths longer than the Physical, Emotional, and Intellectual cycles! They were the 38 day Compassion, 43 day Aesthetic, 48 day Self Awareness, and 53 day Spiritual cycles. I didn't think much more about the I-Ching cycles until the following summer of 1980 when I found a Biorhythm book that had the 38 day Intuitive cycle. That's when it all came together and the pieces started falling into place. A 38 day Intuitive Biorhythm cycle and a 38 day Compassion I-Ching cycle. Without a doubt they were the same thing.

I had found the missing link!

But at first it seemed too fantastic to be true; 7 Biorhythms, not just 3 or 4; interesting to say the least. Physical (23), Emotional (28), Intellectual (33), Intuitive/Compassion (38), Aesthetic (43), Self Awareness (48), and Spiritual (53). I was taken aback! The spacing of the cycles were 5 days apart and the Intuitive and Compassion cycles had the same length of 38 days. Obviously others had made this same discovery years earlier but I was too elated at the time with my new found knowledge to wonder why it seemed to be such a big secret.

At any rate, I began making my charts with all 7 cycles and found that this was what was missing since I first heard about Biorhythms. Instead of just 6 "Mood Patterns" I could now see that there were really 21 "Mood Patterns". I also came to realize that these patterns were more like the ebbs and flows of different types of behavior rather than just fluctuating moods, so I started calling them "Behavior Patterns" instead. And to top it off was the fact that the "Life-Force Pattern" would have more complexity to it and would allow you to see a truer picture of your general state of being like gentle waves of living fluid energy.

The most obvious "Behavior Patterns" are the Passion (Physical/Emotional), Mastery (Physical/Intellectual), and Wisdom (Emotional/Intellectual) patterns because of their duration. I've tentatively named 3 more of the 21 "Behavior Patterns". They are the Perception (Physical/Intuitive), Psychic (Emotional/Intuitive), and Success (Intellectual/Intuitive) patterns.

Over the past 25 years I have made Biorhythm charts by hand for my family and friends and have found them to be very accurate, especially when observing the "Behavior Patterns" for performance and compatibility.

These observations were not just made by myself, but also by the person's that I made the charts for. Take note when 2 and especially more than 2 "Behavior Patterns" cross or merge (rare) at the same time! ASTONISHING!

A good analogy to help illustrate how all this works would be to look at Biorhythms as radio signals in the psyche. The 7 "Primary Cycles" of Biorhythms (the unconscious signals) are read as "Active and Passive Phases" with "Active and Passive Critical Days" (the unstable days in a cycle) separating the phases. Similarly, the "Behavior Patterns" (the subconscious signals) are read as "Positive and Negative Harmonic Phases" with "Positive and Negative Switch points" (usually the weakest points in a pattern) separating the phases.

Furthermore, the strength of individual Biorhythm cycles are best seen as fluctuating between "Highs and Lows", somewhat like "Amplitude Modulation" (AM radio), but the strength of individual "Behavior Patterns" are determined more so by how close 2 cycles are to "Crossing or Merging", akin to a "Frequency Modulated" (FM radio) signal riding on an "Amplitude Modulated" carrier or wave. The amplitude of one "Behavior Pattern" may over power that of another "Behavior Pattern" to a certain degree if they happen to have a "Crossing or Merging" of their respective cycles at the same time.

All these factors are what creates the complex waveform of the "Life-Force Pattern" which explains why you are never really in the exact same mood on any 2 days of your entire life and makes predicting your behavior rather elusive.

If you have any observations that you would like to share or suggestions for names of the 21 "Secondary Rhythms" (or as I like to call them, "Behavior Patterns") please post your messages on the

After being bombarded with all these revelations, it dawned on me that animals may have Biorhythms too. Have you ever wondered why animals seem to choose who they like or dislike for no apparent reason? An animals psyche may be more like ours than one might think. After all, they do have emotions and show intelligence, albeit it's more on the scale of human infants or very young children. Sometimes you can even see animals dreaming as they sleep. So I decided to test my theory, and mammals seemed to be the logical test subjects. Of course I would have liked to have studied chimpanzees, being that they are the closest known living relatives to humans. Unfortunately that isn't an option for me. I'm now in the process of accumulating vital statistics on Race Horses and their Jockeys to determine if Biorhythms may have played a roll in the winners at the Kentucky Derby over the past 131 years, and Natural Biorhythms is just the program to test my hypotheses. Imagine simply plugging in a few birthdays and picking a winning horse at the race track (or even dogs for that matter) every time you placed a bet!

I've gone through several Biorhythm computer programs since 1995 (my first one was a program I wrote in QBasic), and Natural Biorhythms by Dmitry Konovalov is by far the best one I've had the pleasure of using. It has features that most other Biorhythm programs don't have. The Day Info Monitor and Relationship Advices are truly eye openers, and the Compatibility and Matching features are amazing to explore. I especially like the free upgrades and White Stranger Group doesn't hesitate to crank them out with new advances. It's very user friendly and the graphics are great. The help files are superb; easy to understand and are straight forward and easy to navigate. It's also nice to be able to print out a calendar that you can take with you anywhere for quick reference. The price is a steal and the support is fantastic! I can't speak too highly of Natural Biorhythms and White Stranger Group.

Biorhythms forever

The purpose for this article is to share with you my experiences using biorhythms over a long extended period of time (some twenty+ years) and what effect it had on my life.

To begin with, my first experience with biorhythms was back in the early '70's when I was at Texas Instruments to early '80s when I worked for Rockwell Int'l. (now parts of Boeing and Alcatel). It was all very new and "spooky", but it got my attention when the cab companies and airlines began to test it on the drivers and pilots. Some twenty-five years later, that testing is now corporate policy with many corporations. I had begun to track my rhythms by hand calculation until I saw an ad in a trade journal for the Japanese made KOSMOS 1 hand held calculator and biorhythm generator, which I bought and began to use.

When I first began to use it I made certain I checked "where I was" relative to my biorhythms every day. I used it to avoid doing "anything important" on mini-critical days (and most assuredly on max-critical days!) and went from an entry level Industrial Engineer to a Cost Center Manager at T. I. in only eighteen months and better than doubling my salary in less than two years!

Then the 'Headhunters' found me and started dangling carrots that got me a move to Rockwell International. At R.I., I hired in as the Industrial Engineering Manager over the military and commercial radio equipment programs. I did the same thing there that I did at T. I. . . . I checked my rhythms before I did or went anywhere important! To make a long story short, I was promoted to Programs Manager in a year over the Dallas effort for the Verdin and Tacamo cryptic radio equipment used on the Poseidon and Trident nuclear submarine fleet. Then I met an Israeli diamond broker who convinced me to go to work for him (checking my biorhythms all the time!!).

He was looking for a nice 'Gentile' boy to go into the deep South and try to get twenty accounts averaging $20,000.00 a year on loose diamond goods. The project took three years and resulted in over fifty accounts averaging about $75,000.00 a year. I then quit him and opened my own business (checking my biorhythms all the time!).

I became a Special Order Manufacturer specializing in both insurance replacements and "one of a kind - God only knows how it was built" jewelry. This odyssey began with T. I. in 1972 and we are now up to 1982 - ten years of belief in biorhythms when nearly everyone else around me were telling it was B.S., the work of the Devil, psycho-babble, etc. Then sometime in the late 1980's, I stopped using my handy, dandy little hand help biorhythm wonder and things started to fall apart.

A year after I started the business, I took my cousin into the business. The day I gave him a company credit card he went out and bought "belts and hoses" for his Suburban before he had made his first sale. My wife tried to tell me . . . my Mother tried to tell me . . . not to hire family! I wonder what my compatibility % would have been with him if I had Natural Biorhythms back then. In one year he put us in the hole $100,000.00 dollars. I wanted to kill him, but his mother had just had a heart attack and was next best friends with my mother. I bought him out and tried to salvage the wreckage. Too late. The stock market crash of 1987 did the jewelry business no good, and then Texas passed HR 355 forbidding insurance companies from referring insured's to jewelers for replacements. 75% of my business was replacement for somebody!

By March 1994, I had filed the paperwork with the Secretary of State for Texas to close the corporation. I only had two problems. I had a small investor group I could not pay back and I refused to declare bankruptcy. The Jewelers Board of Trade in New York have statistics that show in Texas alone there were over 3,000 jewelers went out of business in 1994 alone. They won't tell us the statistics for nationwide, but it is rumored and appears to be in excess of 50,000. And I started checking my biorhythms again.

In January, 2000 I was indicted for mail fraud for my failure to pay back the investor group. I was threatened with nine counts of mail fraud (if you tell someone you are going to do something and you don't it is fraud . . . it is mail fraud if you put a stamp on it and mail it) and one count of giving the IRS a false statement, forth-five years in jail, a $2.5M fine and restitution. I remember going to a huge conference room with my Attorney and while he was out of the room talking to the Assistant U. S. Attorney prosecuting me, I pulled my biorhythms chart out of by briefcase I had made from the KOSMOS 1, and discovered that my Physical, Emotional and Intellectual (no intuitive at that time) biorhythms were all over 75% for the next few days.

That night I wrote a sworn affidavit I made my Attorney take to the Assistant U. S. Attorney the next morning. My Attorney came back and told me they, the 'Feds' did not like what I had written and that the affidavit would never see the light of day in any courtroom (did I fail to mention that I was trained as a General Courts Martial Court Reporter when I was in the Marine Corps?). Two days later the "Feds" came back with a plea agreement offer of pleading guilty to one count of mail fraud, one count of giving the IRS a false statement, one year in jail at the Federal Correctional Institution of my choice, try to pay restitution and six months to get my affairs in order before I went.

I took the plea bargain. At sentencing the Federal Judge allowed no penalty for the IRS's failure to answer my claim, pay me, disallow the claim or even contact me about it. This was all in January - April, and in June I reported to FCI - Texarkana, Texas to begin my incarceration at the Honor Camp there. With good behavior I was at a halfway house in Tyler, Texas in May, 2001 and home in June. I had made a chart of my biorhythms back in November of 1999 because the calendar in the KOSMOS 1 was to end on December 31, 1999.

Since June, 2001 I have been "winging" it without checking my biorhythms. But for some reason I do not understand, on Friday, August 19, 2005 I had it hit me that I needed to get a 'little help' with the 'ether' that flows around us all. I put in my search engine browser these words, "biorhythms software". Top of the list was Natural Biorhythms and the White Stranger Group. Today is Monday, August 22, 2005 and I have had all weekend and most of today to review the software and use all the features. 20-20 hindsight is ALWAYS crystal clear. I am test driving the free v2.60. I know this software did not exist in 1999 . . . but believe me when I say I would have given a very precious 'body part' of mine to have had it.

From now on, I am NEVER going to go, do, say or sign anything important if my biorhythms are not to my advantage . . . and if I can get someone's birthday . . . I WILL find out how compatible we are (FYI, my wife and I have been married thirty-five years this December and we are 65% compatible) and use my biorhythms to my best advantage or make the determination as to whether I even want to be in the same room with that person.

Right now I have August - November, 2005 biorhythms printed out, front and back with a 23 results forecast of my critical days. Both are in a single sheet protector with the biorhythms on the one side and the forecast on the other. WOW!! With a single glance I can see "where I am" on any given day and how I should interface with the rest of the world. WHAT A PIECE OF SOFTWARE!! Thank you White Stranger Group for developing Natural Biorhythms!!! Talk about comparing a Model "T" to a Space Shuttle . . . that is how I describe my old KOSMOS 1 to Natural Biorhythms!

Is Biorhythm Compatibility Incompatible With Logic?

I think it's time to set the record straight on an important misconception about
biorhythms. Just over thirty years of experience with biorhythms has taught me that using biorhythms alone to predict compatibility is impossible.

In my experience, biorhythms don't measure compatibility. They measure energy patterns and energy dynamics in relationships. The more compatible a couple's biorhythms, the more dynamic their relationship is likely to be... either good or bad.

Let's use a mind problem to illustrate this point. Every woman who was born on the same day as Stalin would have the same biorhythms as him. And therefore all the biorhythm programs would score their compatibility as 100%. Without going into a lot of detail, I think reasonable people would agree that not all of the women in the world born on 12/21/1879 would be able to "live happily ever after" in a romantic relationship with the guy. And by the same token, not all of the men in the world who were born on the same day as Mother Theresa would be able to find marital bliss with her (had she wanted to marry)... not even all of the good guys and certainly very few of the really bad ones.

What biorhythmic compatibility does accurately measure is the energetic potential of the relationship. It's like biorhythms can predict the dynamic volume range of the music two people make in their relationship. But biorhythmic compatibility can not and does not predict the choice of songs the couple will choose to sing or the quality of their music.

So in addition to consulting biorhythms, any valid determination of relationship compatibility must also include personality compatibility, compatibility of major life goals, compatible and/or similar interests and favorite activities, etc.

In fact, it is these "other" factors that determine compatibility... biorhythms only predict the energetic amplitude at which the relationship plays itself out. Returning to Stalin as an example, let's assume that Stalin was a "bad" guy. Let's also use our imagination to hypothesize that 100 "good" women somehow got tricked into marrying him. Because he is bad and all of them are good, we know that all the relationships would fail... but at different rates. Those women who had 0% biorhythmic compatibility with this man might take two weeks to kill him in his sleep. Those with 100% biorhythmic compatibility would finish him off in two days (smile).

More compatible biorhythms, in effect, turn up the volume on elationships... they push the accelerator further toward the floor... they get the relationship to where it is already destined to go faster and with more intensity.

There is another important factor in determining the potential for success of a relationship... simple energetic preference. There are many people in the world who want something completely different from the rest of us in a relationship. Some people just don't want fireworks and magic in their relationships. Some people want a relationship that feels like they married their brother, sister or best friend. Some people want safety, predictability and even a little boredom in their relationships.

Personally, I can't fathom that. I'm still looking for the 98% biorhythmic 'compatible' relationship. But I have to wish for even more than that match. I have to hope that the 98% person I find will be an intensity freak like me. Otherwise the relationship will blow up in our faces because it is too intense for them. It could be the best relationship of either of our lives, but if the energy and intensity exceed either partner's energetic capacity, they will begin to feel they are out of control and run like the wind away from the relationship... no matter how good. Actually, some relationships are too good for some people. And as crazy as that sounds some or even many people are more comfortable with boredom or even conflict than they are with the heights of happiness and passion.

So what are biorhythms best used for? ...to help you learn about your own energy patterns and preferences, and what you are looking for energetically in a partner. You won't know if you want a relationship with a 100% biorhythm-compatible partner until you actually meet someone close to that and see how you actually like that level of energy in the relationship. Once you know at what 'volume' you like your relationships played, you can then begin looking for that intensity level in a person whose personality, interests and life goals are also compatible with your own. And may you live happily ever after!
