Sounds it'd be another name for rhythm methods and counting days. It's based on the fact that a woman's fertility varies with where she's at in her menstrual cycle.
In theory, there are "safe" days to have sex when a woman can't get pregnant even if the couple aren't using contraceptives.
In real life however, bodies aren't clockwork perfect, and counting days is notoriously unreliable. Used for a year it's a 20% chance of getting pregnant anyhow.
That's rather poor odds for something as important as having a baby or not.

What are the different family planning methods in the Philippines?
there are two basic methods in family planning. first is the artificial method and the second is the natural method. But the Catholic Church are opposing the use of artificial method in family planing. artificial methods are the following: use of condoms, IUD or intrautirine device, oral pill, injectibles, etc. while the natural method are: Calendar method, withdrawal method and personal control or abstenence.
What is the difference between artificial family planning and natural family planning?
I don't know if there is such a thing as "artificial family planning", but natural family planning is a term used commonly to describe a method of fertility management in which a woman can observe bodily symptoms in order to know when she is fertile and either use that time to avoid unprotected sex if she does not wish to conceive or use that time to have sex if she does wish to conceive. Most commonly natural family planning is the sympto thermal method, which is NOT the rhythm method. It can be as effective as the perfect use rate for hormonal contraceptives if used properly.
What are the Advantages and disavantages of family planning?
Some of the advantages of using the calendar methods in family planning is that you do not have to see a doctor in order to implement this method, and you do not have to remember to take a pill or get a shot. The main disadvantage to this method is the fact that many women do not always have a regular cycle. Even those who normally do, may have times when the do not, this would make the calendar method unreliable.
What is your stand on the catholic church in the use of natural method in family planning?

What is fertility awareness method and How to use this method in a family planning?
The calendar method is not very reliable, but the basosymptothermal method can be, and Georgetown developed the Standard Days method, which improves on the calendar/rhythm method. The fertility awareness method uses a woman's daily monitoring of temperature (before getting out of bed, and charted daily), observations of cervical location and firmness, and cervical mucus observations, along with periodic abstinence from vaginal sex during the most fertile days. If you're going to use the method, it's important to get trained by an experienced teacher. Your local Catholic Church or Planned Parenthood office can refer you to resources in your area for learning these methods.

What are the natural methods of family planning?
There are several methods of natural family planning. Most commonly used is the CALENDAR METHOD. This involves counting the days of the cycle and ticking off "unsafe" days and having intercourse only on "safe days". Another is the BILLINGS METHOD or CERVICAL MUCUS METHOD. The woman checks the type of vaginal discharge every day and uses this to see whether she is fertile or not. Some also use the BASAL BODY TEMPERATURE METHOD. A woman's basal body temperature increases by 0.1-0.3 degrees Celsius once she was ovulated. By calculating how long the egg lives, she can tell when it is already safe to have intercourse. Look up each method to find out how each one works. It would be more prudent to use more two or more techniques in tandem in order to make ovulation prediction more accurate.

How long between ovulation and conception?
12 to 18 days is typical, but this is the part of the menstrual cycle that has the most variation. If your periods are irregular, this number is the hardest to guess. In contrast, the typical fourteen days between ovulation and the start of the next period has much less variation. If you'd like to use the calendar to prevent pregnancy, please talk first to a trained counselor on the use of natural family planning methods. Using the calendar alone is not a reliable method of preventing pregnancy.
