“MBT IS REVOLUTIONARY” DR SALTER<br />

“EVERYONE SAID IT WOULDN’T<br />

WORK, BUT I LOST 2 STONE”<br />

“MIRUJI GIVES ME A<br />

SENSE OF PEACE”<br />

GAIL from south Shropshire was spending<br />

more and more time away from work because<br />

of stress and anxiety. She said: “I had been off<br />

sick for what seemed like ages. I simply wasn’t<br />

functioning and I just felt that I could not get<br />

myself together.<br />

“When a friend recommended Miruji I was really<br />

sceptical. Professional medicine had not made<br />

any difference so how could sitting in a chair<br />

help?<br />

“I knew my friend was trying to help so I thought<br />

I would try it and I haven’t looked back since.<br />

“The whole experience has left me feeling so<br />

much better. Sitting on the Miruji beach just<br />

lifted my spirits especially when it was so cold and<br />

miserable outside. I went home feeling so much<br />

more relaxed – all my friends commented on the<br />

change in me generally and even my partner<br />

noticed the difference.<br />

SUSAN Childs thought Miruji sounded ‘too good<br />

to be true’ until she tried it for herself – and lost<br />

two stone.<br />

“I was curious about it and thought I’d give it a try,”<br />

she said.<br />

That was 12 months ago. Now she is singing Miruji’s<br />

praises from the rooftops.<br />

“Everyone I talk to said it couldn’t possibly work,<br />

but I don’t think they fully understand it.”<br />

She has proved them wrong, by losing two stone,<br />

going from 14st 4lb to 12st 4lb and dropping several<br />

dress sizes.<br />

“I’ve tried to lose weight before. I used to be a binge<br />

eater. I’d eat when I didn’t need to. If there were<br />

ever sweets in the house I would always go and eat<br />

them.”<br />

Susan, from Shrewsbury, had her doubts about<br />

Miruji, initially, and it took three or four sessions<br />

before she understood that it could work for her.<br />

“You have to be ready to make that commitment<br />

to go regularly,” she said. “I never in a million years<br />

thought I could do this. It’s absolutely brilliant. I’m<br />

pulling jeans out from my wardrobe that I haven’t<br />

been anywhere near for four years. I used to hide it<br />

all under the baggiest of tops. I am so much more<br />

confident, my husband is really, really impressed<br />

with me.”<br />

Susan eats smaller meals, but nothing in between<br />

and she still has a pudding every day.<br />

“I still eat quite a lot really but it’s only what I need<br />

and it works for me. I’ve also joined a walking<br />

group. I’m really only going to Miruji for maintenance<br />

now, as I’ve got to where I want to be.<br />

“Sometimes I sit in the chair and think about other<br />

things and I get to the end of the session and think,<br />

well, I didn’t really listen but I think your subconscious<br />

takes in the messages from the audio the<br />

whole time you are sitting there. All I can say is<br />

that it works for me.”<br />

“I HAVEN’T FELT THIS GOOD<br />

IN THE LAST 10 YEARS”<br />

CAROL has been off work for three years due<br />

to health issues. She suffers from depression,<br />

anxiety, and fibromyalgia.<br />

Over the last 12 weeks she has started to feel<br />

good about herself.<br />

Her quality of sleep has improved and it’s<br />

helping to reduce pain. Carol has changed her<br />

behaviour around food and walks more, she<br />

feels less stressed, more relaxed and has more<br />

energy.<br />

Carol says: “I haven’t felt this good in the last 10<br />

years. I feel more confident and positive about<br />

myself.<br />

“Before I started the programme most days<br />

were black days, now I feel great most days. I<br />

have tried all sorts of diets and slimming clubs<br />

but I still craved chocolate and crisps, now I<br />

don’t have any cravings at all. It’s amazing. It<br />

should be available on the NHS. Carol has lost<br />

12lb in the last 12 weeks and is on target to lose<br />

four stone this year.”<br />

“That night I slept better and generally had a<br />

better outlook. I found myself in such a good<br />

frame of mind and that has impacted on all<br />

aspects of my life.<br />

“After the first visit I just felt so much more<br />

positive, I was in a great mood and I am so much<br />

happier now.<br />

“I would definitely go and have regular sessions<br />

– what a wonderful way to have some me time,<br />

relax and make myself feel better?”<br />

“WHENEVER I GET OUT OF<br />

HERE I FEEL AS THOUGH I<br />

COULD RUN UP A HILL”<br />

“I find it so revitalising,” says 81-year-old Cynthia<br />

Davies, from Shrewsbury.<br />

She began coming to Miruji after seeing an advert<br />

in the newspaper, hoping it might give her<br />

some relief from arthritis. The pain in her hip and<br />

back has lessened but, she says, it is the feeling of<br />

overall wellbeing that is most remarkable:<br />

“It’s lifted my whole outlook,” she said. “I was<br />

a bit despondent and gloomy over the winter. I<br />

didn’t feel like doing much. I was lifeless, really.<br />

“This has put a bit of energy in me. I generally<br />

feel so much better. I’m trying to lose a bit of<br />

weight too and I’ve already managed to drop a<br />

couple of pounds in just over a month.”<br />
