What is cheewajit? (alternative concept for good health)
Cheewajit is the concept of Holistic health which combines “cheewa” that means body with “jit” or mind. These two parts of life depend on each other which can not be separated. When mind is affected, body is also affected. Man can be happy when body and mind work well together as the wholeness.The food is based on a macrobiotic diet, adapted to Thai taste.
Dr. Sathtit once stated:
"Actually, living a holistic life doesn't only mean eating a natural diet.It also means changing and correcting your lifestyle by learning how to meditate, learning how to reduce stress in everyday life …"
In this way, Dr. Sathit has taken hold of the Buddhist precept which teaches us that rust, which comes from iron, can corrode and destroy that same iron. Human minds are the same. If we have learned how to meditate and have minds which produce positive thoughts then our bodies will become stronger and healthier if our minds produce negative thoughts then, like the rust on the iron, this will inevitably be a danger to us.
As he stated:
"It is bad thinking which damages us. To take a particular example; if a cancer patient keep having bad thoughts then eventually these thoughts will be like he rust that erodes, allowing death to destroy the patient even quicker because such thoughts are one of the causes of cancer. From a holistic point of view, cancer grows from both physical and mental causes. If one cannot change one's mind then it follows that one cannot change one's body."
Older people might argue that it is too late, but everyone can improve their health, says Satit. When he first introduced his holistic health programme in 1986, he had only 20 practitioners in the first year. This rose to 200 in the second year, and now his disciples can be counted in the thousands, borne witness to by his “Rum Krabong” clubs, which are springing up around the country, where members regularly taking early morning or evening exercise.
As I was very curious , I made an appointment with Dr Sathit, he has his office at Bangpakok 9 International Hospital, Tonburi , Bangkok, Thailand where he works in the Anti-aging Department .
The first thing they did was taking a sample of blood, and 30 minutes later Dr Sathit came to me to give analysis of my sample.
He is over 80 years , but he looks just 60 years young, a very kind and gentle man with a great sence of humor. His english skills are very good for Thai standards.
He told me that my body was 10 years younger than my age, but there is still room for improvement ( another 5 years younger ).
He told me how to do it and chatted a bit about the activities he organizes.
2 times a year he organizes, for people with cancer, a health retreath, one in Kanchanaburi and one in Chiangmai, and they are always sold out . There he teaches people how to eat healthy and how to meditate
