Amita Sachdeva, an artist and an art studio owner from Noida, was diagnosed with Cervical and Fibromyalgia. She shares how her daily life changed after she started the Satvic Lifestyle. Let's learn how she did it.

***"Earlier I was not able to bend and pick anything up from the floor, but now I can do all the household work on my own. My cervical pain has eased a lot. Earlier I always had to wear a belt in the morning to do household chores, but now, I don't feel the need for it." *Why did you start following the Satvic lifestyle? *I was suffering from Cervical and Fibromyalgia for last 4 years. In this problem, if you touch any part of the back right from the shoulder to the lower back, it would be very painful. Having medicines and pain killers had become a habit for me. I was always worried about the side effects of taking painkillers for so long, so I wanted to see what lifestyle changes could do for me. When I attended Subah's workshop, I was left with so much hope and motivation. Everything she explained made sense to me and was easy to follow. That's when I decided to follow this lifestyle with full dedication.

What did you start doing? Tell us about your healing journey. The very next day after the workshop, I purchased petha and had its juice in the morning. I also started following the meal plan and the daily routine, except the wet pack as it was winter. Whenever we had a plan to go out, we made sure to have our dinner at home and then go, so that we do not eat anything from outside, We get 5-6 coconuts every day at our home now. We are a socially active family, so we have also started sharing this knowledge with our friends and neighbors. Everyone knows that we only eat Satvic food, so now we don't even have to face the pressure for eating unhealthy food at gatherings.

What are the benefits you received by following the Satvic lifestyle? ***I feel so pure and clean from the inside out. It's a really beautiful feeling. I am much more active and my mind is very alert. My whole family feels the same. Both my husband and I have lost more than 10 kg in 3 months. Before I was not able to bend and pick anything up from the floor, but now I can do all the household physical work on my own. My cervical pain has eased a lot. Earlier, I always had to wear a belt in the morning to do household chores, but now, I don't feel the need for it.

Apart from the physical changes, have you noticed any mental or spiritual changes? Yes, I feel so pure and thoughtful. The satvic lifestyle has made us positive and joyful. We have also started having a Bhagvat Gita class at our home every week. We have become so aware that we do not let anything unhealthy or impure to enter our body. I am extremely grateful to learn about Subah and to receive the Satvic knowledge.

Can you imagine a world without diseases & medicines? A place where everyone lives in sync with nature. What do you picture? Yes, I can. I think this knowledge has the power to transform the face of our entire nation. Our scriptures hold the secret to living a healthy and blissful life. If we all just start acknowledging the wisdom our ancestors delivered to us and start shaping our lives accordingly, soon we will all go back to Satyug.
