Dear Practitioners
Let me start by wishing you all a very happy and holy 2013!
By Swami’s immense grace, Vibrionics made big strides in the year just gone by. We have successfully carried out a complete re-structuring of our teaching program. In order to improve the quality of our training programs, we have instituted at all levels, correspondence courses of 6-10 weeks’ duration. These have to be followed by practical training sessions of 2-5 days’ in order to qualify as a Vibrionics practitioner. Last year, a lot of new practitioners have been trained, many existing ones have graduated to higher levels and several practitioners have become Certified Teachers. This has resulted in rapid growth of Vibrionics movement, thanks to the dedicated and tireless efforts of our teachers and mentors. A warm welcome to all the new practitioners who have joined our Vibrionics family!
As our work expands, the need of the hour is for active Vibrionics practitioners to volunteer as coordinators to help in administration and management. If you would like to be in the forefront of vibrionics seva in any capacity, in your respective State or Country, please send us an email with your name, qualification and experience. If we manage to appoint enough coordinators, we intend to hold a meeting of all office bearers in Prashanti Nilayam later this year.
Practitioners are constantly reporting verbally some amazing stories of their successful healings but have expressed their inability to pen them down. To facilitate reporting of such cases, we have appointed a number of volunteers who have offered to take full case histories on the phone. These will then be submitted to us for publication by email. If you would like to avail of this service, send us an e-mail at [email protected] and we will provide you the contact details of the available volunteer who you can call. Also, if any of you have many exceptional cases that you would like to see published for the benefit of others, we can put them together as a Special Feature on the concerned practitioner in a future edition of our newsletter. So, start collating your outstanding cases now!
In December we conducted two special refresher workshops – one in Mumbai and the other in Kerala, India (pics to be soon posted on our website). The workshop in Mumbai was attended by 108 practitioners from the Indian state of Maharashtra & Goa. We are grateful to the senior office- bearers including the State President and All India Vice-President of the Sai Organisation who gave firm assurance of their continued and unconditional support to Vibrionics. The workshop in Kasaragod district in Kerala was attended by 51 practitioners. The State President addressed the participants with an inspiring telephonic message, as he was unable to attend personally. The practitioners of this district have undertaken a special project to treat victims of the Endosulfan tragedy – one of the world’s worst pesticide disasters. We visited the affected area and the work done by our practitioners is worthy of appreciation.
Once again I would like to remind you about the importance of sending your monthly progress reports. It is very important for us to know if you are an active practitioner. Only in that case, we can give out your contact information to prospective patients in your area. It also helps us collate comprehensive statistics for our annual report. Your feedback on your experiences and case histories helps us to keep our books up-to-date. We urge you to continue to send us your reports on time every month.
Some of our practitioners in Delhi-NCR, India have conducted experiments on plants, using the Plant tonic. Results are amazing! Full details of their findings in the next issue.
Finally I wish you all a fantastic year ahead may Swami fill our hearts with love and bodies with energy to continue to practice our chosen form of seva with zeal and redoubled efforts.
In loving service to Sai Jit Aggarwal
Paura & Stitichezza 02854...UK
Una madre si recò dal terapeuta con il figlio dell’età di quasi 3 anni perché negli ultimi 2 anni aveva sofferto di grave stitichezza. Il piccolo era anche timido e impaurito dalle persone, compreso il suo stesso padre. Era particolarmente timoroso quando doveva andare in bagno per evacuare le feci. Mentre il terapeuta gli parlava, appariva spaventato e si aggrappava alla mamma. Anche il suo appetito era scarso. Gli venne prescritto: CC4.4 Constipation + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic + CC12.2 Child tonic...TDS
I genitori riferirono al terapeuta che, dopo la prima dose, successe una cosa fantastica. Il bambino disse che voleva dormire con suo padre, mentre prima voleva stare solo con la mamma! Nel giro di pochi giorni di trattamento, il bambino non era più timoroso nemmeno quando andava in bagno per eliminare le feci, cosa che ora fa quotidianamente. E’ anche più socievole e rilassato. Il terapeuta ha notato che non si aggrappava più alla madre come faceva prima. Correva in giro come gli altri bambini sani della sua età. Continua ad assumere il rimedio a dosaggio BD per altre due settimane, seguito da dosaggio OD fino ad esaurimento.
I commenti dell'editore:
Usando un Potenziatore Sai Ram, somministrare: NM6 Calming + NM13 Constipation + NM69 CB8 + NM75 Debility + NM90 Nutrition + BR2 Blood Sugar + BR4 Fear + BR8 Constipation + SM5 Peace & Love Alignment + SM9 Lack of Confidence
Mestruazioni Irregolari 02799...UK
Una dottoressa Inglese di 33 anni si recò dal terapeuta poiché le sue mestruazioni erano irregolari fin dalla pubertà. Il suo ciclo era sempre in ritardo, tra i 35 ed i 45 giorni anziché i normali 28 giorni. Era anche molto scarso. Aveva fatto uso di farmaci allopatici senza successo. Le venne prescritto:
CC8.1 Female tonic + CC8.8 Menses irregular + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic + CC17.3 Brain & Memory tonic...TDS per 2 mesi.
Il suo ciclo divenne completamente normale entro due mesi. Le fu consigliato di continuare ad assumere il rimedio per altri 3 mesi a dosaggio TDS e poi di ridurre a BD. I suoi cicli continuano ad essere normali, si presentano ogni 28 giorni e durano per 5 giorni, ma lei non se la sente ancora di ridurre ad OD perché ha sofferto troppo a lungo.
I commenti dell'editore:
Usando un Potenziatore Sai Ram, somministrare: NM23 Menses Irregular + OM24 Female Genital + BR16 Female + SR309 Pulsatilla 30C + SR515 Ovary + SR537 Uterus
Disturbo mentale, Insonnia 02799...UK
Si tratta di una paziente di 23 anni. E’ una laureata in psicologia che negli ultimi 3 anni ha sofferto di un grave disturbo mentale. Quando i suoi genitori la portarono dal terapeuta, lei era aggressiva, aveva tendenze suicide e si esprimeva urlando. I genitori dissero che le medicine allopatiche non erano state utili e la ragazza soffriva inoltre per i loro effetti collaterali. Le fu somministrato:
#1. CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic + CC15.2 Psychiatric disorders + CC17.3 Brain & Memory tonic...QDS per due settimane poi ridotto a TDS.
Dopo un mese era migliorata del 50%. Siccome la paziente adesso lamentava insonnia, le fu prescritto:
#2. CC15.6 Sleep disorders...1 pillola mezz’ora prima della consueta ora di andare a dormire; se non riusciva ad addormentarsi, un’altra pillola al momento di andare a letto. Se ancora aveva difficoltà ad addormentarsi, 1 pillola dopo mezz’ora. Se necessario, poteva prendere un’altra pillola durante la notte. Dopo 15 giorni i genitori chiamarono per dire che il suo sonno adesso era regolare e stavano riducendo gradatamente le medicine allopatiche. Continuò ad assumere le due suddette combo per 5 mesi, dopodiché sospese tutti i farmaci allopatici. La paziente ora è normale al 100% ed ha iniziato un nuovo lavoro. La combo #1 è stata ridotta a BD, però continua ad assumere il rimedio per l’insonnia allo stesso dosaggio.

Virus Nosocomiale, Allergie Croniche ad Alimenti e al Lattice 02802...UK
Un dentista di 25 anni che lavorava in ospedale, contattò il terapeuta perché non riusciva a liberarsi di un virus che aveva preso sul lavoro. Questo gli procurava diarrea e stanchezza con una sensazione di peso alla testa. Presentava anche un’allergia alle noci e ai ceci. Inoltre, i guanti di lattice che era costretto ad indossare durante il lavoro, gli causavano prurito alle mani. Il terapeuta gli spedì le seguenti combo:
Per il virus:
#1. CC9.2 Infections acute + CC4.6 Diarrhoea + CC19.2 Respiratory allergies + CC19.5 Sinusitis....6TD
Per le allergie croniche:
#2. CC21.3 Skin allergies + CC4.10 Indigestion + CC4.2 Liver & Gallbladder tonic + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic...TDS
Le due combo andavano assunte separatamente durante il giorno. Due mesi dopo riferì che le pillole erano straordinarie: la sua diarrea era migliorata in 3 giorni ed in breve era cessata completamente. La digestione andava molto meglio e adesso era in grado di mangiare i ceci. Le mani non prudevano più tanto a causa dei guanti di lattice. Gli vennero spedite altre tre boccette della combo #2 e gli fu consigliato di ridurre il rimedio quando le sue condizioni si fossero stabilizzate. Il terapeuta ha riferito che ora il paziente sta benissimo.

Sterilità 11476...India
Una donna di 33 anni non riusciva a concepire un figlio da 8 anni, nonostante avesse provato svariati metodi allopatici artificiali. Quando si recò dal terapeuta, nell’Ottobre del 2011, era tesa ed agitata. Aveva assunto medicinali allopatici per il diabete per 6 anni e per l’ipotiroidismo per 3 anni. Le venne prescritto quanto segue:
#1. CC6.2 Hypothyroid + CC6.3 Diabetes + CC8.1 Female tonic + CC8.4 Ovaries & Uterus...TDS
Concepì nel giro di 10 giorni. Il terapeuta si manteneva in regolare contatto telefonico con lei per sostenerla, in quanto, a causa dei suoi problemi di salute, lei era in apprensione circa la sicurezza del suo bambino. La combo venne modificata come segue:
#2. CC6.2 Hypothyroid + CC6.3 Diabetes + CC8.2 Pregnancy tonic + CC12.1 Adult tonic + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic...TDS
Assunse questa combo per l’intera durata della gravidanza ed in seguito per un mese ancora. Teneva attentamente sotto controllo i livelli di zucchero nel sangue e quelli della tiroide e continuò ad assumere le sue medicine allopatiche per tutto il tempo. Tuttavia, durante il 5° mese, dovette fare delle iniezioni per il diabete tramite una pompa di insulina. La bambina era attesa per il 10 Agosto, ma nacque con taglio cesareo il 17 Luglio 2012 e pesava 2,7 chili. Oggi la bimba ha 5 mesi. Attualmente la madre non soffre di diabete. Il suo livello tiroideo è stabile ed il farmaco per la tiroide è già stato ridotto da 50 mg a 25 mg. La bambina viene completamente allattata al seno.

Schiena Dolente 01176...Bosnia
Un anziano signore di 76 anni telefonò al terapeuta chiedendo aiuto per la sua schiena molto dolente. Il dolore si estendeva dalla zona sacrale e scendeva fino al ginocchio destro. Gli faceva talmente male che riusciva a malapena ad alzarsi dal letto. Il problema si era presentato per la prima volta vent’anni prima e poi era tornato di tanto in tanto. Per l’attuale attacco, stava facendo uso di forti analgesici, ma senza ricavarne molto sollievo. Gli venne somministrato:
NM113 Inflammation + SR267 Alumina 30C + SR404 Picric Acid 1M da assumere immediatamente all’insorgere del dolore e da ripetere 30 minuti più tardi.
Il paziente provò un immediato sollievo. Quando il dolore ricomparve, venne ripetuto quanto sopra. Entro due giorni, il paziente fu in grado di salire e scendere dalle scale con difficoltà assai minore. Dopo due settimane non provava dolore ed ora è libero dalla sofferenza da più di dieci mesi. Il terapeuta dice di aver curato almeno altri dieci casi di analoghi dolori al corpo con questi rimedi e con pari successo.
I commenti dell'editore:
Quella suddetta è un’interessante alternativa all’uso di NM97 Sciatica, che è ciò che la condizione rappresenta.
Usando la cassettina delle 108CC, somministrare: CC20.3 Arthritis + CC20.4 Muscles & Supportive tissue
Protezione per Piante di Verdura 10002...India
Alcune piante di verdura, come zucchini, pomodori e fagiolini, coltivate nell’orto di questa terapeuta, erano solite soffrire di una muffa farinosa subito dopo il primo raccolto, poi si piegavano e morivano, nonostante venissero frequentemente concimate con letame di mucca e composto di vermi, e trattate con una soluzione di olio di Neem mescolato ad una soluzione di sapone e peperoncino.
Le fu suggerito di mettere una goccia di SR264 Silicea 6X in un annaffiatoio subito dopo la semina e di continuare a farlo settimanalmente per tutto il periodo della crescita. Questo semplice trattamento ha fatto meraviglie! Le piante che stavano perdendo vigore cominciarono a riprendersi, fornendo così una resa maggiore. Quelle nuove appena piantate crebbero forti, sane e molto produttive.
I commenti del terapeuta:
Questa informazione proviene da Homoeopathy for Farm & Garden di Vaikanthanath Kaviraj. Viene anche raccomandato di mettere in ammollo i semi con Silicea 6x prima di farli germogliare.
I commenti dell'editore:
Un altro terapeuta ha scritto per comunicare che un coltivatore di Auroville ha provato Silicea 30C sulle piante ed in questo modo ha ottenuto risultati migliori rispetto all’uso di altri pesticidi organici.
L’Angolo della Risposta
1. Question: Can a vibration be put in Ayurvedic medicinal oil for external use?
Answer: At present, we don’t recommend this because we believe that vibration of ayurvedic medicine may interfere with vibrational remedy. We use oils such as almond oil, cold pressed olive oil or coconut oil because these are neutral. However, we are interested in getting a feedback for those who are willing to experiment with adding vibrations to ayurvedic medicines.
_____________________________________
2. Question: How do allopathic medicines and vibrations complement each other for a faster cure?
Answer: Whereas allopathic medicines work on physical or gross level, vibrionics works on a higher or subtler level and this achieves faster healing.
_____________________________________
3. Question: In the 108CC book, a few homoeopathic remedies are mentioned in the breakdown of the common combos. Does this mean that combos contain homoeo remedies?
Answer: No, common combos contain only vibrations including those of some relevant homoeo remedies.
_____________________________________
4. Question: Should a patient continue with maintenance dose for a chronic illness while starting to take vibrations for another acute/chronic disease?
Answer: For a chronic disease, yes, but ensure that there is a gap of at least one hour between the maintenance dose and the new remedy. However when a patient has an acute illness, the maintenance dose may be stopped during the short period of acute treatment.
_____________________________________
5. Question: I understand that SSS Seva Organisation distances itself from Vibrionics, which is discouraging news, particularly when the news is coming out after Samadhi! Your guidance, please.
Answer: Actually, the SSS Seva Organisation has been facilitating our workshops and other activities provided their name is not mentioned on any banner at such camps. Remember that Swami blessed the Vibrionics system physically at all stages of its evolution on numerous occasions from 1994 to 2011.
_____________________________________
6. Question: Can Vibrionics be used as a protection against pests in agriculture?
Answer: In 108CC box, the CC1.2 Plant tonic will protect plants from damage caused by weather like frost or storms, fungus, insect infestation etc. 5 drops may be put in one litre of water to make the initial remedy. This can be further multiplied by using 1:10 proportion. It can be used to regularly spray the plants and water the soil.
If using a Sai Ram Potentiser give: NM12 Combination-12 + NM20 Injury + NM25 Shock + NM91 Paramedic Rescue + SM2 Divine Protection + SM4 Stabilising + SM5 Peace & Love Alignment + SM6 Stress + SM14 Chemical Poison + SM26 Immunity + SM41 Uplift + SR315 Staphysagria + SR325 Rescue + SR327 Walnut + SR329 Crab Apple + SR360 VIBGYOR + SR428 Gorse + SR432 Hornbeam + SR437 Oak + SR438 Olive + SR566 Fungi-pathogenic
Parole Divine dal Terapeuta Principale
“Spiritual Practice (Sadhana) is constantly cultivating good thoughts and undertaking good deeds.”
-Sathya Sai Baba - Radio Sai Nov 30.2012
“Take the ups and downs of life as natural. They are incidental to the world of compounds and components. When an empty plantain leaf is kept, it tends to move up in the wind and fly. But, when you serve dishes on it, the food and the leaf will remain unshaken. So too, fill your mind and heart with the virtues of faith, steady discipline, devotion, detachment and equanimity - these are items of the spiritual menu. Then you will not sink with every blow. When you have attained true wisdom, you will find that good fortune should not be gloated over, nor bad fortune grieved over. A hero treats both with equal unconcern. Pain and Gain are breezes and storms that cannot affect the depths of the ocean of bliss in the heart of a true devotee.”
-Sathya Sai Baba – Divine Discourse, Oct 19, 1966
“Sow an action, reap a tendency, Sow a tendency, reap a habit, Sow a habit, reap a character, Sow a character and reap a destiny. You are the maker of your destiny, You can do or undo it."
-Sathya Sai Baba, Discourse at the 10th Convocation of Sai Institute, Nov 22,1991

EIGHT WARNING SIGNS OF HEART ATTACK
Here are eight signs that can be taken as warning and could help avert a catastrophic situation:
1. Discomfort in the Chest
The most common warning sign of a heart attack is the feeling of discomfort or heaviness in the chest that is new, severe, unexpected, and occurs with shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, or weakness. This feeling could also be more of a burning sensation. Chest pain or discomfort during activity that is relieved with rest. Any of these symptoms should not be taken lightly especially if you have heart disease. If it occurs, you need to rush to your medical doctor or the nearest hospital. If another person is complaining of the problem don’t take chances. Rush them to the nearest doctor or hospital immediately for a check-up.
2. Shortness of Breath
If your breathing gets heavy and the breath falls short even after a short walk, climb or other form of movement or exercise, it should be a huge cause of worry. Shortness of breath NOT relieved by rest. Even if this condition is not accompanied with chest discomfort, it should be taken as a warning sign. Fast heart rate (more than 150 beats a minute) – especially if there is shortness of breath, too.
3. Sweating
While sweating is inevitable in the scorching heat of summer, excessive sweating even in cool conditions is uncalled for. If you notice such sweating, consult a medical professional immediately.
4. Nausea
Regularly feeling nauseous or dizzy could imply the onset of a heart attack. Do not treat it callously as a sign of tiredness. This could happen due to the artery getting blocked. It could also display itself via excessive stress, fatigue after short spans of movement or exercise, or a feeling of weakness despite eating and sleeping well.
5. Numbness in Arms
Sudden weakness or paralysis (inability to move) in the arms or legs. If your arms feel numb and seem to be drifting to the sides, heart problem may be the cause.
6. Headache or Fainting Spell
Sudden, severe headache or constant dizziness or light-headedness, restlessness and/or sudden confusion are other potential signs. When caring for a person with heart disease, if there is a fainting spell with loss of consciousness, get help immediately.
7. Unresponsiveness
If certain parts of your body begin to stop responding, do not ignore the circumstance. The affected parts may be the shoulders, arms or back of the neck.
8. Slurring while Speaking
Difficulty while speaking need not necessarily occur after a bout of drinking with the buddies. It could be a graver situation than that! Inability to speak coherently could be the sign of a great attack. If you think you are suffering this ask a friend or relative to help by asking them to understand what you are saying.
A heart attack can be avoided if the warning signs are read correctly and in time. Seek medical aid immediately if one or more of the above symptoms are noticed. They could be the result of a choked artery. Even if heart attack is not the result, a check-up should definitely not be avoided! Take care!

Health Benefits of Turmeric
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a yellow spice widely used in Southeast Asia. It originates from India and has been used as both medicine and food for centuries. This relative of ginger is one of the main ingredients of curry powder. The active medicinal ingredient in turmeric is called curcumin, the natural pigment that gives turmeric its yellow colour.
Curcumin has increasingly come under the scientific spotlight in recent years, with studies conducted in the world's leading universities, investigating its potential health benefits. Accumulating evidence suggests that curcumin is a promising preventive agent for a wide range of diseases. Here are some of these findings:
Turmeric and Cancer
Studies have been conducted on the turmeric and cancer connection. They reveal that turmeric can induce a process that triggers the self-destruction of cancerous and damaged body cells. Given its antibacterial properties, turmeric is beneficial in treating many types of cancer, most noticeably breast cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer and leukaemia.
Rodent studies at the University of Texas indicate that curcumin inhibits the growth of a skin cancer, melanoma and also slows the spread of breast cancer into the lungs. Researchers from the University of South Dakota have found that pre-treatment with curcumin makes cancer cells more vulnerable to chemo and radiotherapy.
Turmeric and Liver Function
The liver helps by detoxifying your blood through the production of enzymes. These enzymes break down and eliminate the toxins found in your body. Taking a turmeric supplement or using turmeric recipes increase the production of these vital enzymes, thus increasing liver function. Curcumin also seems to delay liver damage that can eventually lead to cirrhosis, according to preliminary experimental research at the Medical University Graz in Austria.
Turmeric For Arthritis
Due to turmeric’s anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, turmeric health benefits provide relief to those suffering from moderate to mild joint pains. Arthritis patients using turmeric for arthritis were found to benefit from reduced morning and evening joint pains. It has now become a natural remedy for arthritis sufferers and provides significant pain relief while also increasing walking speed for patients.
Turmeric and Wounds
As an anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory agent, turmeric works to heal wounds, cuts and other skin injuries. Using a saucepan, boil coconut oil and add a small amount of turmeric to it. Mix the two together, turn the stove off. When it is no longer too hot to touch, use a cotton swab to apply some of the mixture to the wound. Saving the extra oil in an airtight container allows you to use it in the future without needing to go through the boiling process again.
Turmeric and Alzheimer’s
Brain inflation is suspected to be one of the leading causes of Alzheimer’s disease. Studies done with turmeric have shown that one of the major turmeric health benefits is helping to prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Turmeric anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties might help to prevent or delay the onset of this ruthless disease. It is believed that turmeric blocks the production of IL-2 protein, which is known to destroy the protective sheath found around the nerves.
Epidemiologists have hypothesized that turmeric, as part of daily curries eaten in India, may help explain the low rate of Alzheimer's disease in that country. Among people aged 70 to 79, the rate is less than one-quarter that of the United States.
Turmeric and Cardiovascular Disease
Unhealthy cholesterol levels are the primary cause of most cardiovascular disease. When cholesterol oxidizes, it builds up on the walls of body cells. Turmeric contains vitamin B6, which regulates homo- cysteine levels. Homo-cysteine is directly responsible for damaging body cells. Through interaction with the liver, turmeric lowers the cholesterol levels in the body, which aides in preventing most cardiovascular diseases.
Daily supplements of curcumin may benefit cardiovascular health to the same extent as exercise for postmenopausal women, says new data from a clinical trial conducted in Japan. Vascular health, as measured by flow-mediated dilation (FMD), improved equally in groups of women receiving the curcumin supplements and those receiving aerobic exercise training, according to findings published in the journal Nutrition Research.
The National Institute of Health USA, lists 24 current studies on the effects of turmeric and its chief active component, curcumin. Such studies raise the question: Which is better to take: whole turmeric, generally used as a powdered spice with food; or curcumin, which is usually taken as a supplement? According to Dr Andrew Weil, “Each has been shown to have health benefits but unless you have a specific condition such as inflammatory bowel disease, I favour using turmeric (especially in cooking) rather than taking curcumin pills. This reflects my general belief that, until proven otherwise in head to head studies, a whole plant is usually a better choice than isolates of a plant. On the other hand, curcumin appears to have a more rapid and dramatic effect, and may be the better choice as a therapeutic (rather than a preventative) preparation.”
