Vaishali Thanki, a resident of Ahmedabad, found that a busy work schedule had pushed her health and eating habits to the back seat. She also suffered from constipation and insomnia. In her own words, here is how her days changed after she began the Satvic lifestyle.
"My constipation has eased. And, I feel so light & healthy all the time. Now, I found myself working incessantly for hours without even feeling a hint of tiredness. I have also seen great improvement in my sleeping pattern. I can sleep better and on waking up I feel so fresh & full of life. "
Why did you start following the Satvic lifestyle?
I am a working woman and my life is always busy & full of stress. A few months ago, I started noticing that my lifestyle & food habits were getting worse day by day. I had become completely engrossed in my office & housework that led me towards mindless eating. That led to the development of problems like acidity & constipation. I desperately wanted to gain control of my health & life again. And, when I saw Subah's videos in March, I realized that I have to start following this lifestyle straight off. Moreover, I also had a health problem. I was not able to conceive a baby and even if I did, my body was not strong enough to hold it for long. But, watching Subah's videos and listening to the knowledge she shared, gave me hope. And that is the reason why I started this journey.
What did you start doing? Tell us about your healing journey.
I started my healing journey with the determination to make my life better & healthier. The first thing I did was to bring some serious changes to my diet. And, gradually, I also started incorporating other changes in my lifestyle. I followed everything, enema, wet packs, 16-hour fasting. (Note from Satvic Movement: fasting, enemas and wet packs are not for pregnant or breastfeeding women, children under 14 or anyone who is severely underweight.) My favorite thing to do now is to drink Ash gourd juice every morning and honestly taking ash gourd juice had reaped so many benefits for my health.
What are the benefits you received by following the Satvic lifestyle?
The changes in me have been phenomenal. I can feel my myself brimming with energy. I have become so much productive and efficient in every aspect of my life. My constipation has eased. And, I feel so light and healthy all the time. Now, I found myself working incessantly for hours without even feeling a hint of tiredness. I have also seen great improvement in my sleeping pattern, I can sleep better, and on waking up, I feel so fresh and full of life.
Apart from the physical changes, have you noticed any mental or spiritual changes?
Yes. I have realized that the food we eat does not only affect our physical health but, it also casts a strong impact on our mental well being. I have seen my thoughts & perspective on everything getting changed. I have gained a mature and wise understanding of life and I have realized the futility behind people's endeavor to earn more money & buy more things. I have discovered the true value of our health & our family and it feels amazing.
Can you imagine a world without diseases & medicines? A place where everyone lives in sync with nature. What do you picture?
I believe we can move a long way towards this goal. I have full faith & belief in humankind. For me, an ideal world would be one where fewer people need hospitals, because everyone knows how to care for their health with the help of nature. The only problem is that this whole world is enchanted by the glorious world of advertising & marketing. Do you think the products & food items that these celebrities promote without a thought, are consumed by them in reality? No. To me it feels like a spell cast on ordinary people like us. But, if we all could receive the valuable guidance of people like Subah, who can help us get out of this spell, things will definitely shift and change will come.
