How to Create a Biorhythm Chart

Biorhythms were discovered in the early 20th century by Doctor Wilhelm Fliess. They are the patterns made by our physical, emotional, and intellectual ups and downs. The chart appears as three lines, one for each of these aspects, drawn on a graph. Sometimes the lines are above the baseline, indicating a good day; other times they are below, indicating a bad day. There are many biorhythm calculators and charts available on the Internet based on your date of birth, but in order to create one to hang up on your wall at home, you must create your own.

Instructions

• 1

  Draw out the chart one month at a time. Using a dark marker, draw a vertical line down the paper for each day of the month, and label the bottom of each line with the date.

• 2

  Consulting an online calculator, look up that month for your biorhythm, and then use the three remaining markers to make dots on your chart indicating where your physical, emotional and intellectual forces will be on their highest day.

• 3

  Using your “physical” marker, make a dot 23 days later again at the high point. This is the period of your physical biorhythm. Make a low-point dot with the same marker 11.5 days after your high point. Now draw a smooth curve with the marker connecting the points.

• 4

  Repeat this procedure with the emotional and intellectual markers. The period for the emotional line is 28 days (the low point will be 14 days after the high point), the period for the intellectual line is 33 days (the low point will be 16.5 days after the high point).

• 5

  Next month, draw a continuation of this pattern with the same markers.
