You thought 2020 was the worst year ever? Wait till you hear how Ms Disha’s 2019 was. Every time she thought things couldn't get any worse, she was in for another shock. For the first time in her life, she was getting more aware of her body, not for the right reasons, but because there was now a new disease developing in every part of her body. And yet, today if you look at her, the first thing you see is a light radiating through her face, and a smile so bright that it makes you wonder, what changed really?
“I had almost admitted that my life would be short and an unhappy one. However, I was in for a big surprise that ended up changing the entire course of my life"
Journey of the pained-life
Pain was something that I was introduced to very early on in my childhood. Piles was the first of it all, gradually converting into constant constipation and low blood pressure. Problems of being overweight, stressed and depressed were details I wouldn't even bore you with. You know why? Because I have more interesting ones in my bag. Ever heard of Parenchymal Calcification? While you thought reading the term was tough enough, you got to take my word on how that's nowhere close to the torture of actually living through it. Having those kidney stones removed from my body and nearing the ending of 2019, I somehow gave myself the confidence that at least that's out of the way, is when I was hit with yet another wave.
Hey doctor what new disease are we buying this time?
“Disha, it’s typhoid.”
Oh no! It doesn't sound half as interesting as the last one!
Journey of pain-free life
By now, I had accepted my fate. I already knew my life would be a short and an unhappy one. However, this time when I was hospitalised, I was shaken to such an extent that somewhere in my heart I decided, I don't want to get hospitalized ever again. I came home and began my research on how to ease constipation. Simple ask right? I don't want much, just take my constipation away. Little did I know that god had a bigger plan for me. I asked for help with one pain, and found help with so much more. After going through a few series of YouTube videos and crash diets, having my constipation get even worse, in September 2020, I finally landed upon a channel named Satvic Movement and saw an online workshop happening. I spontaneously decided to attend it and my life has not been the same ever since. 2 months into the lifestyle, my blood pressure felt steadier, the bleeding from piles had stopped, my joints hurt less, the bloating and gastritis had eased, I was sleeping well, and my weight had come down from 58 kgs to 49 kgs.
60 days in, I felt like a different person.
But was it easy? You bet it wasn't.
Demons aren't easy to leave, and something tells me, you would know that just as well.
Demons
The first two weeks of the new Satvic lifestyle were all about constant hunger. For someone who used to love her parathas and chai early morning, it wasn't so easy to give up on it and shift to a bowl of fruits and some juice. And bloating surely didn't add on to that confidence. Another hit on my confidence? The half squinted eyes that I constantly received from my family, beginning to think if it was my mind that they need to hospitalize next.
What held me together then?
Proof. The constant proof that was being thrown at me. I gave up tea and my gastritis started to ease. After a few weeks of ash gourd juice, my skin began to clear. From waking up all grumpy in the morning right before 9 AM, only to drag me to the office, I was now waking up at 4 AM without an alarm, ready to kick start my day. Being constantly conscious and embarrassed in the office about my bloating to now brimming with energy. But you know what was even stronger than proof?
Community love
The love, the support, and the family that I found in the Facebook community that I became a part of after the online health workshop. When my own family was looking at me with those doubtful eyes, I had a Satvic community of a few hundred knowing exactly what I'm going through, and being there to hold my hand through it all. Gaining deeper knowledge and clarity about the science of natural living is what got my faith stronger with each passing day. My constant source of motivation and inspiration were now being driven by this community. If back in September 2020, someone had told me I could feel this well in 2 months, I would have said ‘Are you crazy? Of Course not!’
However, it was this newfound community that changed me and made me say-
‘Are you crazy? Why not!’
Endnote
Ms Disha has been following the satvic lifestyle since September 2020.
Steps that she followed - all five steps, enema, 16-hour fasting, wet pack, satvic food, sunbathing - are being followed religiously. Enema and wet pack were done for the first 21 days, and then only when needed. (The Satvic team's note: enemas, wet packs and fasting are not for pregnant or breastfeeding women, children under 14 or anyone severely underweight.) She is extremely fond of cooking, as has come up with many of her own satvic recipes, including plant-based paneer, oil-free satvic sabzis, sugar-free desserts, and more. She has lost 10 kg by staying true to the lifestyle.
Every journey is different. If you are on medication or have a medical condition, make any changes together with your doctor. If this story speaks to you, our workshops are a good place to start learning the Satvic lifestyle.
