The Cura Romana Experience: Spiritual freedom

Despite Cura Romana's skills in helping people restore natural size, shape and weight to their bodies and improve their health, many men and women claim the program's greatest gift is the way it has helped them discover who, in truth, they are at the deepest levels of their being. Many say it has taught them how to live more of their life from the core — their essential being. It is this spiritual dimension that continues to fascinate Aaron and me more than any other. Many people tell us, "the weightloss is a given so is enhanced health, but spiritual growth is the Cura Romana Journey's greatest gift of all.

20 years ago, when I was introduced to Cura Romana, I would never have dreamed that such a thing were possible. Now, after working with people all over the world, I am certain that something very special is going on, something that was not part of the original protocol developed by Simeons more than half a century ago. Daily I receive reports from participants who speak of enriched spiritual experiences, some of which they tell us are nothing less than life-changing.

What follows are personal reports from men and women who have completed the Cura Romana program. They are not to be construed as advertisements.

I noticed by Week 2 that I was no longer hungry. My mood became very light and happy all the time. I was more interested in this, in fact, than in the weightloss. People started to remark on how alive I looked. Later I felt a profound spiritual shift, as well as a deep sense of my real self emerging.

Francis (United Kingdom)

Cura Romana has been the most life-changing experience, the one I've always been waiting for. Finally a solution to my weight problems of course, but it's been so much more than that. It is fantastic to let go of my physical weight but the lifting off of the emotional and spiritual weight I had been carrying was an even greater blessing. My confidence has soared and now I can get on with my life.

Sally (United Kingdom)

On the program I discovered that I felt more connected with my body and with the core of my being. I had found it hard to believe that this new self-awareness would be part of the process, but it certainly is. It begins subtly and starts to happen without you being conscious of it at first. I found myself thinking more about finding my own truth, about shedding the things that weren't mine, about joining the inner and the outer self. This was something that I had tried to get to grips with before, and now on the program I saw it happening. Without doubt, this was in part due to Leslie's amazing insights and teaching. I just found that I was on a much easier road to this awareness and I didn't have the same doubts, the guilt, the self-consciousness, or the lack of trust in myself and my feelings that I had had before. I was taking myself seriously at last. I am a creative person and I felt much more able to allow myself to be that person, someone I had closed off for a long time, because it felt that I didn't have the right or permission to be me.

Penny (United Kingdom)

For me, today has been a day of rest. I have enjoyed the sunshine, the beauty of the sea and the birds singing in the trees across the road from me. I feel that who I am is growing stronger from the inside out. I find a new energy within me that is a freedom to be the person I was always meant to be. I have a new awareness that goes far beyond my physical senses. I am beginning to see the whole world differently and I am seeing it in a way that I want very much to share with others. Today I realize that all I actually need comes from within. This is the first time I know that within me is the strength and power to live my life to the full. I don't have to rely on anyone else. Today I saw myself standing on a cliff top with the wind blowing in my face and the world opening up to me. The view was fantastic. I felt like the wind just wanted to pick me up. I was strong and free.

Vicky (New Zealand)

I have always felt connected to nature and appreciated its beauty. I am now finding beauty in the smallest things. The spider climbing up the car windscreen, and bright colors reflected in puddles. I have a smile on my face most of the time. I enjoy the rain on my face and the wind blowing though my hair. I feel like a child again, carefree and trusting and taking delight in everything around me.

Ingrid (United Kingdom)

My Cura Romana experience has allowed me to connect with myself like never before, and there's nothing that can replace that.

Debra (United Kingdom)

By the end of the first week on hCG + Food Plan, I knew clearly that I was on to something wonderful. My confidence started to increase from then on. It took a while to really come to trust the process completely as a lifetime of conditioning is hard to overcome. But you can't argue with the evidence of your own eyes, or how good you start to feel on every level of your being.

Geraldine (United Kingdom)

Thanks to Cura Romana my mind, my body and my spirit have a unity now and I have become a whole person for the first time in my life.

Glenys (New Zealand)

My Cura Romana Journey has been the best thing I could ever have done for myself. I have a renewed gratitude for my whole self, my body, my mind, and my spirit. With Leslie's guidance I was not only successful in losing weight from my physical body I was also able to unburden myself of the negative feelings I had about my body and to learn how to nurture my mind and my spirit. I have a greater appreciation for myself and have learned how to take better care of my whole person. Thank you Cura Romana, thank you Leslie and Aaron, I very highly recommend this program for anyone.

Michele (United States)

Cura Romana has given me a deep sense of connectedness with my body and the core of my being. I have reconnected with the essence of who I am, my interests and desires that had been buried were allowed to re-surface. I now listen to my intuition. I have learned that my essential being is wise and knows what's best for me and I listen to it every day. I already feel very grounded in my body yet much more aware spiritually. I asked God some time ago to show me the way to nurture myself and make me strong enough and healthy enough to be the teacher I know she wants me to be. I truly believe that Cura Romana has been the answer. I feel calm and centered and peaceful and loving, and I feel God saying to me, 'This is what I want for you, this is who you really are, not that stressed out, impatient, pale imitation of yourself that was here before.' I am profoundly grateful to you, Leslie.

Susan (United Kingdom)

During Cura Romana I began to see more clearly. What I mean by this is my brain is no longer so clouded. It's like all around me has clarity now. I haven't had this for a long time. In a shamanic sense this is as though the whole universe has a new depth of field and I am seeing everything in a wonderful new way.

Jan (New Zealand)

I've never in my life spent so much time on ME!!!!! I have learned so much on Cura Romana, not only about my body but my spirit as well, and I have had some very lovely spiritual encounters along the way - believe me! I have enjoyed your gentle mentoring, Leslie, and feel so extremely honored that you've made time for me.

Barbara (New Zealand)

The whole process of Cura Romana has been THE most important thing I've ever done. My connection with my inner life was long in a sort of chrysalis. It was there but I couldn't quite get to it. I can't really find the words at the moment to explain that. I now feel that I have a life that I want to live and am just enjoying living with myself. I used to rely on other people and external experiences to enrich my life, to add meaning to it. That is no longer the case. I am now leading my life from within rather than from without. All this has been a profound and deeply personal experience and would not have happened without my path crossing with Leslie's, and I am so glad it has.

Elaine (United Kingdom)

For me, the Cura Romana Journey has re-grounded me in a spiritual and emotional sense and helped me re-affirm my personal values and priorities. It has also put me back in touch with my spiritual side and reminded me that my joy is in being creative rather than being locked into a structure. I am feeling better in myself and in my body than I have for many, many years.

Susan (Australia)

I thought what Leslie had to say about our natural capacity for bliss was really interesting. Everything she said rang true to me, and I can see how exciting it must be for her to be the catalyst for all these true life-changing experiences for people who are on Cura Romana . The physiological change created the space for the spiritual change to emerge in me and to take centre stage, so that one lives in an enlightened, blissful state. All of this is very thought-provoking.

Annette (Sweden)

Emotionally my self-confidence just soared and soared. I had none of the previously familiar feelings of anxiety and nameless threats, etc. Spiritually I experienced the wonders of feeling so connected to all that surrounds us, the incredible beauty within and without and the divine shared energy of the universe that Cura Romana presented to me face-to-face. Now I feel I am the true, authentic me, the woman I was always meant to be who I knew on some level but could not find in my confused wilderness before Cura Romana.

Sigrid (Ireland)

During my first week on Cura Romana I felt physically fine and surprisingly I was not hungry. I think I was too busy planning what meals to have and how to make them interesting and I loved it. My body started to change in the second week where I lost 12 inches from my body which to me was amazing. Emotionally I felt a lot more focused and began to live in the moment spiritually. I'm a Christian and my faith has helped me through many awful things in my life. When things are really bad I question as we all do but during the second week I seemed to develop a deeper connection than ever to my God.

Koulla (United Kingdom)

At the third week I noticed the spiritual and emotional changes. Feeling calmer and positive. Able to handle daily stresses with ease. I have done a lot of work on my personal growth over the past twenty years but the spiritual awareness I have gained from the Cura Romana experience has expanded my consciousness into much easier mediations and has developed enormously what I was already working on.

Anita (New Zealand)

I just love the simplicity of going to school, taking care of my house, cooking, pottering in the garden, going to yoga, reading books and writing in my journal. It all feels very precious somehow. I have always had a strong, spiritual nature, but Cura Romana seems to have allowed me to access a reality I'd only previously read about. I know now what it is to be present and just experiencing the unfolding of my life. What a gift!

Susan (United Kingdom)

This has been such a dramatic journey for me. I have so much more confidence now and self-respect. I feel a much deeper connection with my physical and spiritual selves.

Sally (United Kingdom)

I knew within the first three days that something remarkable was happening to my body. I felt it emotionally first, but this had a knock-on effect to all other levels. I felt clearer and my spiritual connection was better, which was a pleasant surprise because I thought that not eating a pure vegetarian diet (which I was) would impair it. I am now including fish in my diet on a regular basis.

Anne-Marie (United Kingdom)

I not only value my body more than ever before, I now understand more fully that my body is the vehicle within which my spirit is embodied, and that a run-down body is not able to harness the fullness of spirit that enables us to make a difference to the world.

Suzanne (New Zealand)

The process of Cura Romana has been magical. I feel I am on the cusp of a whole new way of relating to myself and have a strong sense of new possibilities opening up everywhere in my life. There is so much wisdom available in Cura Romana.

Anne (United Kingdom)

I know I've said it before, but I am blown away by the physical change, mental shifts and especially enhanced spiritual gifts that I experienced in the last few weeks. My Cura Romana Journey continues to be incredible, in fact life-changing, and I am not yet finished.

Debra (United Kingdom)

The Cura Romana program delivers what it says and more. Each individual has the opportunity to achieve not only personal weight goals but also new levels of awareness and emotional development. For anyone struggling to transform their life in multiple ways - physical, creative, emotional and spiritual, I would suggest they follow the Cura Romana program. It will help them move forward in a life-affirming way.

Gina (South Africa)

After Cura Romana when I recognized when I had to change some area of my life I simply faced it and did this without fear. In addition, Cura Romana brought me five very important gifts:
1. Improved hormonal balance, which is a wee miracle!
2. A greater sense of my spirit being embodied as I walk the earth.
3. Much greater enjoyment of the simplicity of health and vitality. This is not difficult or complex when balance is the starting point, and it is very easy to maintain with what I have learned on Cura Romana.
4. More vitality and clarity of mind.
5. An addiction to white tea!

Suzanne (New Zealand)

Cura Romana has brought me to feel much more comfortable with my body than ever before. I feel I understand it. I used to hate my body and felt that it was unattractive. I don't feel any of that now. I feel I know who I am. I feel more balanced and a greater connection with myself and my personal conviction that I must live my life authentically, truthfully, and be absolutely true to myself.

Elaine (United Kingdom)

I felt the changes taking place in my body almost immediately during the first week. My emotions became calm, my sleep habits - which had been poor - changed completely. I found that I could concentrate on anything I put my mind to and the feeling was wonderful. Cura Romana has given me more self-confidence and a desire to be healthy - something I had never felt before. It took me a while on the program to really connect with my inner self but I got it. Now I listen to the finer things it tells me and I have really started paying attention to what it asks for. I love the changes and it has brought me so much closer to my own body.
