THE BIORHYTHM PRINCIPLE A CRUCIAL FACTOR IN WELL-BEING AND HUMAN RELATIONS The crass commercialisaton of Biorhythms during the 1970's effectively killed any open- minded public research into the subject. On the private level however, one man has been quietly researching Biorhythms for several decades. Polish born, Brian Krauze-Poray is about to release a book which has taken 20 years to compile. His findings will astonish even the most hardened skeptic. This article, while not truly representative of the depth of Brian's research, will give you an overview of the history and the nature of Biorhythms. evidence. Statistics, however, when substantiating human behaviour with its uncounted number of vari- ables, renders results inconsistent with reality and thus is lack- ing conviction. It was only in relatively recent times when the electromagnetic field concept, as used in Physics, found its way into the discipline of Biology, and when the frontiers of an inseparable Body/Mind relationship clarified many questions of physiological and psychological nature, were probed, that the biorhythm concept started to make sense. The comprehension of the nature and the functioning of the Biorhythm Principle is a necessity, where personal well-being and an harmonious human relationship, either in the family, at work, in sport and in everyday life, is essential. Once this is achieved and intelligently applied, common sense will guide further actions to the benefit of all concerned. T= biorhythm theory of yesterday is based on statistical The Basics. As misconceptions about biorhythms are common, the follow- ing is a short overview of a few facts which represent the basics of the Biorhythm Principle: When observing one’s actions and reactions with reference to people and events, it will be noticed that physical and psycho- logical faculties such as endurance and resistance, concentra- tion, perception, etc, are not inert in their INTENSITY. On some days we will be more alert than on others, more optimistic, with a higher resistance to pain, concentrate easier and also exe- cute work with lesser effort. On other days we are absentmind- ed, unable to concentrate, prone to infection and accidents, show less resistance to pain. Although consciously we may not be aware of these changes, we nevertheless are familiar with our “ups” and “downs”. These ups and downs are the manifestation of rhythmical oscil- lations of a life energy, the ancient and also the eastern cultures have been and, still are, aware of for centuries as propitious and unpropitious times, brought about by the stars or the gods. However, it was the German Dr W. Fliess, who at the begin- ning of this century identified the ever changing ebb and flow within biological systems as an orderly manifestation of a life force. He detected natural rhythms of three different frequen- cies and named them Life Periodicities.
