Teaching kids to follow their dreams was the best part of my job. But they didn’t know I had lived a dreamless life for 20 years. For 20 years, my sinus had strangled me from within to steal my breath, my dreams, and almost took my sanity. So what changed my mucus and agony-soaked tissues into tears of joy-soaked tissues in 21 days? This is how I found a solution beyond my dreams that brought back my dreams…

“Mera naam Sapna hai, par mere apne hee sapne pichhle bees saal se lapataa the. Par aaj jiss tezi se Satvic lifestyle ne meri life ke tukdon ko phir se joda, meri story se aaj log inspire hokar apne sapne poora karna seekh rahe hain. (My name means ‘a dream’, but my own dreams were missing for the last 20 years. But the speed at which the Satvic lifestyle fixed the pieces of my life, my story is now inspiring many others to fulfil their dreams.”
A life without dreams
My battle with Sinus started when I was just 5 years old when coughing and sneezing fits started bullying me out of a normal childhood. While other kids feasted on ice-cream cones as rewards for scoring well, I had to throw mine away. While other kids were dodging the ball while playing in the field, I was busy dodging the dust clouds trying to save my life. While other kids grew up counting down the days to their next hill station vacation, I would stay trapped at home, counting down the days to my next doctor visit.
Whenever I rebelled to chase even one of these little dreams, I would get strangled by my Sinus as a voice in the back of my head mourned pitifully – “Save your dreams for later. This is a time to survive.” So for the next 20 years, I pocketed my dreams and lived in survival mode. I was like a drowning woman in the sea, desperately hanging on to a thin rope of hope my doctors threw at me in the form of nebulizers, inhalers, and pills. There was no sight of land. When I asked them if I was ever going to find a way out, they said – “I thought we told you not to waste time dreaming. It’s not going to go away.”

“How can I dream when I can’t even sleep?” – I replied as I told him how I spent 25 sleepless nights barely breathing, sleeping with my mouth open. Yes, while the mucus had clogged my nose and my mouth, it had drained the battery life of my breath. I was sick of using my inhaler like a power bank for my breath. And every time I would take nebulisation, I couldn’t even get up for 20 minutes. It felt like someone was killing me, yet my body was becoming enslaved to it like it was a smoking addiction.
Finally, I visited another physician who recommended me to take an expensive vaccination course. So I thought of trying it for a year and see what happens. But three months and 10,000 rupees later, I could safely say that they didn’t buy me even an extra minute of a peaceful night’s sleep.
Finding my dreams again
One of the hardest parts of my struggle was holding onto my job of teaching and inspiring children to follow their dreams. Maybe I was subconsciously drawn to it because I couldn’t follow my own dreams. I wanted them to always value and celebrate their dreams. This kept me motivated enough to keep seeking an alternative. One day, I stumbled upon a video called ‘How to detox your body in 3 steps’ by Satvic Movement.
I couldn’t believe that one can cure himself just by changing their food, fasting and detoxing. My doctors had recommended me to eat something or the other every 2-3 hours so I could have my medication. And all of a sudden, I was hearing that my multiple meals and medicines were assisting my Sinus instead of resisting it.
But after watching other videos on the channel and consulting with the Satvic team, I was recommended to follow the white plan, which was particularly effective for dealing with severe cold and cough. On 30th December 2019, I started following a 21-day plan that involved fasting on vegetable juices and coconut water combined with some powerful detox therapies like enema, sunbathing, and wet packs.

I was really intimidated by it initially. I had barely ever fasted for a day, and all of a sudden, I was diving into a 21-day liquid only fast. But I realized 21 days is nothing compared to the 20 years of suffering and lakhs of rupees that went down the drain for my treatments.
4 days went by, but the cough and cold didn’t fade, and the breathless and sleepless nights continued. I wanted to desperately grab my inhaler for some comfort and consulted with the Satvic team if I could use it once. They promptly responded that it would only suppress my symptoms and encouraged me to hold onto my faith and continue following the plan.
I started seeing a big difference around the 10th day. My sleep timings started getting balanced as I would naturally fall asleep by 8:30-9 pm. And it finally happened – my dreams returned! I don’t even remember what I dreamt about that night, but finally experiencing a dream again left me so overjoyed.

I stopped fighting with people about adjusting the fan or air conditioning wherever I went because I knew they were not the root cause of my problem. Mountains of tissues would be piled up around my bed in the morning, but I wasn’t scared of them anymore. It was because my detox bodyguards – enema, wet pack and sunbathing – had teamed up and this unwelcome guest of mucus had nowhere to hide inside my body.
After 15 days, I was feeling so light and energized that I forgot crossing off the dates of my 21-day fasting plan. After all, who keeps time when you’re enjoying life so much? I felt like I could live on coconut water for 21 years, not just 21 days. It had become my lifeline and I was overwhelmed when I realized that God had already prescribed it to me long before my doctors as an answer to my prayers. Coconuts had been part of our daily puja prasad (worship offering) all my life, but only when they helped me get my life back did I realize their value as Shree Phal (Divine Fruit).
