The Cheeva Spa has been in Chiang Mai, Thailand for quite a few years. Six months ago they relocated to a new, bigger, and more luxurious site. The new facility includes a lovely garden and separate buildings with treatment rooms. I reviewed the Cheeva on July 10, 2010.
The spa experience began nicely with a pleasant greeting from a cheerful receptionist. She assisted me with a choice from the menu. They offer a variety of massages and body treatments, I chose the one hour Hot Oil massage. They use jojoba for their massage oil. Jojoba happens to be my favorite for both receiving and giving massage. It is very close in chemical structure to our own sebum and this makes it a wonderful rejuvenator for hair and skin.
The Cheeva begins its treatments with a floral milk foot bath. This is followed by a short salt scrub for the feet. I was then taken to one of the adjacent buildings with a large treatment room. There were two massage tables and a rather large bath tub. It seems all the decor and equipment is new.
My therapist was named Daeng. She has been with the Cheeva Spa for six years. The massage was quite good. She combined correct tempo, rhythm, and pressure to create a very relaxing yet effective treatment.
The massage was followed with a cup of warm ginger tea. At that point I was relaxed and the little aches and pains from recent trekking were distant memories.
The prices at Cheeva are quite reasonable, this one hour treatment is usually 900 THB (around $30 USD). However, currently they have a special 20% off all treatments. Call ahead to confirm this in the future. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience, I received a good massage at a good price.
The Cheeva is convenient to the center of town, has good prices, and good service. I recommend it.

What if making dreams come true is just so easy? Can we let go of our doubts? Is it possible? How can we do it so magically so that it is as easy as brushing our teeth? This excerpt from ONE Book by Masami Sato shows us exactly how to do it step-by-step, preparing you to start walking towards your dreams today.
We all have dreams. But not all of us have the faith in ourselves, that we can have and live those dreams in our lifetime. Actually, the secret to have such certainty is simple. And the reason why we doubt it so much is also straightforward.
Let us start with the first question that can be asked to us..

Why don’t we do everything we always wanted to do?
Our thoughts usually stop us from acting. Sometimes the more we think about something, the less we become committed to achieve what we set out to do in the first place. Because the more we think about it, we tend to come up with more and more reasons for not doing it.
Then is it possible that one can be certain that one will definitely accomplish what one wants to do in his life?
Yes, absolutely! For a start, let’s look at the power of habits
If we have to be present at a meeting tomorrow night, we would not be spending too much of time thinking whether we would be able to get there or not. We would not be worried about the possibility of having a car accident and failing to attend the meeting. In fact, when we go to use the toilet, we are unlikely to worry if it might be out of order.
We have so much more sureness about these types of ‘normal’ activities we indulge in every day. They are the habits.
However, we doubt our dreams
Most interestingly, there are plenty of things we are not equally sure about. Particularly the things that we really want to in life – our Dreams!
Then, what is the secret for the conviction that we will accomplish our dreams?
First of all: Just make it a daily habit!
We can start being more certain about our actions to meet our desires-the type of desires that really nourishes our life.
As for example, if your dream is to be a factor in improving society, and it is an important desire in your life, it will be possible for you to play that role and contribute to society. It can easily be made one of your daily habits.
Second: Make it as important (and as easy) as brushing our teeth
Realising dreams can be just like brushing one’s teeth. It simply doesn’t feel nice if we do not brush our teeth for pretty long, isn’t it? We can’t bother to spend hours considering which toothpaste we should use or wait to clean teeth till there is some need to do so. We feel a little out of sorts if our teeth are not clean. So we clean them. That is all!
Coming back to our example, if giving is so important to us, we have to ask ourselves certain questions: What if giving is in fact of as much importance as brushing our teeth? What if it is making us feel good? What if it is helping to maintain our health?
No matter whether we have a lot or very little just now, we can definitely start giving it and sharing it with others today. No matter how seemingly unbelievable it is to fulfil our dreams, we can start proceeding towards them today. We should view it as something crucial, a priority issue that we should practice every day! Then we would feel unhappy if we don’t do it. Just like brushing our teeth.
and Third: Give first, then we will get back
When we start giving before we even have what we hope to get – that which we dream of – we are sending out a powerful message to ourselves which tells us, ‘there is enough, and more will come.’ It allows us to feel the joy today – the joy of giving.
If you want to be wealthy, be munificent. Then you are sure to be blessed with abundance. If you are intelligent enough to do so, do not hesitate to teach others. Then you will learn more. If you feel like giving, just give the whole of you. And do it without expecting anything in return. Just let go. The act of giving is its own reward. The simple satisfaction of giving.
So do not be hesitant to dole out and share what you have, for it will not prevent you from achieving your purpose, whatever it is. It will only help you to realise your dreams more easily. And your journey through that path would be full of joy.
But are not habits very small, when compared to our BIG dreams?
Just manage do it, no need to worry about the ‘scale’.
Because anything is possible in life. We might start things in a small way. And these small things will always take us to another action, and another. Having certainty in our small actions and executing them one by one always takes us forward. But if we thought it was ‘impossible’ to do something now because it just seemed ‘too big’, it will never happen.
The power to achieve one’s dreams has always been there, and will always be there. Those who have managed wonders, sensations, and real joy, already know this. They go on using it.
Dreams and miracles are not accidents. We create them through our choices.
So, are you likely to start moving towards your dreams today?
