Biorhythms In The Practice Of Acupuncture

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.

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 While TTC

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.

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

i'm interested in learning about biorhythms. is there a site i can use to check out DH's & my energy readings?

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.
