“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 />
