I first met Serge Benhayon 9 years ago, and the impact on myself and family has been profound. As a result we have made great changes, and had we not, I am sure life would be quite a mess by now.
The areas that have most been impacted are:
- the care and attention I now bring to myself, thus having
- a positive effect on my health and wellbeing and feeling of self worth,
- how I relate to my family and
- my attitude towards conventional medicine.
I attended my first presentation by Serge Benhayon at a time in my life when I was in overwhelm and exhaustion, though to myself or most outsiders this did not seem the case. I was a single mother with two young children, and was driven in fulfilling this role ‘perfectly’. All my time was dedicated to them, 24 hours a day, as they were being homeschooled. This meant I had no job and was reliant on my ex-husband financially. I had just completed training to be an alternative therapist, as I had been against conventional medicine since around the age of 15 – though for no particular reason, other than thinking it had nothing to offer other than making people sicker. Consequently I used many alternative medicines to manage my health. I even refused to go to the doctors for antibiotics or painkillers when I was seriously ill or my children were unwell.
When I first met Serge Benhayon I heard him talk and be very positive about conventional medicine – something I had never come across ever in any complementary therapy presentation.
After I was diagnosed with breast cancer I felt it was necessary to consider conventional medicine, which I did slowly. As I spoke with and had more correspondence via email with Serge Benhayon, it helped me break down the negativity I held towards medical professionals, so it wasn’t long before I could fully accept all that medicine had to offer to support my body to treat the breast cancer. I learnt to work with the doctors and felt empowered in all the relationships I developed with the medics helping me.
In all my correspondence and communication with Serge Benhayon regarding breast cancer, I was always met with absolute understanding of the disease and what was happening, but there was something else I would feel, and that is that I was not the disease but rather me as a woman first. Feeling this meant that I could feel a quality, or something in myself equal to Serge Benhayon, that meant I was worth looking after. I began making changes in how I treated myself and regarded my body. This greatly improved my relationship with myself and with my family.
In using conventional medicine and then feeling supported to look deeper within me, I have had an extremely positive experience with a life threatening disease. This experience came from the way I approached breast cancer, in that it wasn’t something to ‘just get through’ but an opportunity to stop and reflect on how I was living in every area of my life, particularly in regards to how I treated myself and was towards my family.
In time, I also met Serge Benhayon’s wife, Miranda, and his children (all equally as loving and responsible adults). Watching them and how they all related with each other was not how I had seen families and behaviours play out before. There is a love, care and depth of respect that is always felt around them. When my children were introduced to them they felt the same, and they absolutely love spending time with the Benhayons whenever they can, and are always welcomed as part of their family.
From these observations and from questions I had asked Serge Benhayon over the years, I grew to learn that being in a family was not about controlling and imposing on my children, to be and become all that I would like them to be, but rather to show love and care towards myself, then this would happen naturally in the family, as they could accept and be themselves. Being a mother does not mean sacrificing myself as I was previously doing, having no respect for my body in how I treated myself. I had accepted it was normal for me to be living constantly feeling tired and then regularly using alcohol and certain foods to bring comfort and relief to the lousy choices I was making.
Everything – as in time, understanding, commitment, respect and care – Serge Benhayon has offered through email correspondence or in person, has been of the same quality as I see him give to everyone, whether this is his family, a work colleague, my family, friends or a tradesman. My experiences have shown me that Serge Benhayon practises true charity – where he often gives freely of his time and expertise with no personal gain or recognition for himself.
Through knowing Serge Benhayon over the last 9 years, my life has changed hugely, in particular the love, care and sense of worth I now feel towards myself which has brought many changes:
- I am no longer exhausted
- I feel vital and healthy
- I have a relationship with my body and know how to treat it with care
- I now utilize the skills and services of conventional medicine
- My relationship with my children has changed and we work on developing care and love within it
- My children have attended school for the past 7 years and are responsible teenagers who have not been seduced with alcohol, cigarettes and drugs. Though they feel all the same pressures as other teenagers and encounter the same difficulties and upsets, they have support and love around them to talk through any issues.
- I work full time in a local school, as well as volunteering in a local hospice, a children’s centre and breast cancer support groups.
My life and the responsibility I take in it towards myself, my choices, my family, friends and work is unrecognisable from how life used to be. I have also witnessed this for many, many other people I know. This is down to one man who has simply, openly shared and presented how he lives his life, all of which makes sense, and he has never watered this down in fear of how it might upset another. He has met, accepted and understood me on every level, even at times when I have not been able to do so myself! His way is unimposing and is only ever loving, which means I have chosen to make changes for myself in my own time with no sense of pressure – all of these unique qualities I had not felt previously in anyone else I had met through my life.
For this I will feel eternally thank full and appreciative of all that has been brought to me, to my family and my relationships with many other people, as I constantly feel inspired to learn and develop more.
Medicine and Serge Benhayon 
“My life and the responsibility I take in it towards myself, my choices, my family, friends and work is unrecognisable from how life used to be.” This is the case for so many students of Universal Medicine who take such loving care of their own health and wellbeing – and reflect this out to others.
“Being a mother does not mean sacrificing myself” – this is so true and women the world over would benefit from these true words. Sacrificing ourselves does not support anyone, least of all ourselves.
My life has also changed beyond recognition since applying what Serge Benhayon presents into my own life and my own pace. There’s no pressure or even expectation to take on board what he presents, the results speak for themselves in his own life and in those of now thousands of others.
Serge Benhayon has introduced modalities to the world that support people to bring real and lasting change into their lives.
Another miracle from being a student of the Ageless Wisdom. – http://www.unimedliving.com/ageless-wisdom
“My children have attended school for the past 7 years and are responsible teenagers who have not been seduced with alcohol, cigarettes and drugs. Though they feel all the same pressures as other teenagers and encounter the same difficulties and upsets, they have support and love around them to talk through any issues.” This alone in this day and age is a miracle.
It is incredible to observe how one choice based on an ideal or belief can actually be so damaging to us, as like you shared for instance avoiding western medicine, and then imagine having loads of these ideals and beliefs that are not truly true to our bodies and being.
Serge is absolutely a deeply inspiring person, often I’ve heard other people doing presentations and the words might have been inspiring to me but afterwards there were no real changes in my life. To be honest it was more about the presenter and not truly serving the audience. What I’ve found with Serge is what he shares is never imposing, never for him, it’s spoken with love and truth, meaning there are no expectations or needs placed on the audience, and it’s practical, real and relates to and is applicable to every part of life. Serge lives what he shares so I can see the outcomes of what he presents. What Serge offers is also self empowering as it’s our connection to ourselves and our body that prompts the changes, it’s listening to and honouring our own feelings and truth. Serge is truly an amazing fellow.
It is interesting how we can think we are being responsible in how we live but we do so with blinkers on and therefore we are not open to anything else. Serge Benhayon through the way he lives, his incredible and deeply felt wisdom is able to show us how blinkered and set in our ways we all can be.
I have found that through responsibility I can not sit back in the comfort that I once did, I now find myself taking responsibility for my choices because they not only affect me but they affect others too.
If there is no self-care then there can only be self-abuse.
Simple powerful words.
This man has changed so much for so many. A weight that has lifted beyond measure and the lengths of deepening and surrender are beyond words.
I too was surprised to hear Serge Benhayon be positive and embracing of western medicine, but as he went on to explain and my understanding of it is that we need to support ourselves on all levels when the body is breaking down, but what he also offers is that we can bring healing, honesty and responsibility to our own health and wellbeing, supporting our bodies to heal deeply of the root cause and not only rely on western medicine to fix us. The Universal Medicine therapies are profoundly supportive in healing the root cause, it is up to us if we are willing to surrender and let go and to choose this healing or not.
Feeling that we’re worth taking care of and appreciating the positive effect this has on everyone around us too can make such a difference to the way we look after our body and being.
“Feeling that we’re worth taking care of” – if day to day this one simple step was brought into all our choices I reckon how we treat ourselves and each other could start changing health statistics.
For me Serge Benhayon truly reflects God’s love; unwavering, consistent, without judgement, always seeing the bigger picture and always holding us as equal.
The ripple effects of this one man, Serge Benhayon, are enormous…my mind boggles at even trying to consider it. Just take you Julie, one student of Universal Medicine and how you have re-engaged in life, and how many people see you, connect with you etc…and how much of an effect you are having on others. Its huge!
I agree, Sarah, the ripple effect is enormous, for every family member or friend bring that level of love to others also, so a real oil stain that is spreading (as we would say in Dutch).
To have so many people feel the incredible differences that one man can make in people’s lives, not through self sacrifice but by transforming and inspiring people to embrace all that they are, is incredible.
Indeed it is David. What Serge Benhayon has offered and inspired in so many is beyond measure, simply by meeting each individual with the love and truth of who he is and who they are.
How amazing is it to actually find someone talking about something that works? Prior to finding the work of Serge Benhayon I spent decades and $1000’s looking for true support, to heal what I had experienced in life, and to feel a sense of purpose in life and a connection to the truth. Until I met Serge nothing changed, now I have much better health and wellbeing thanks to my own self care, my self worth has changed as I’m now self loving, and I feel a connection to the love and truth within me from my soul. Everything Serge offers has worked for me, it’s a very practical and beautiful way of life to live from one’s soul.
“My life and the responsibility I take in it towards myself, my choices, my family, friends and work is unrecognisable from how life used to be. ” Yes and I can say the same Julie, as can many students of Universal Medicine. We are going against the world trend – which sees people getting sicker yet not making lifestyle choices that could support them. When people wake up and realise what they are doing Universal Medicine has the answer.
The teachings of Serge Benhayon have been a blessing of Universal Medicine. A form of healing that can be universally applied.
Our resistance to things that would actually be beneficial to us (in this case western medicine) actually hurts us more than the ill effects we think we are going to receive from them.
So true Liane. And resisting the fact we are multidimensional beings, not purely a physical body, doesn’t support us at all. We are so much grander than we perceive ourselves to be.
The massive improvement in one’s life seen when lived from the body, as Serge presents, needs no blind trials to be demonstrated.
It is perhaps not so common to say that by meeting one person our lives can be turned around with so much dramatic difference. But what is so extraordinary about meeting Serge Benhayon is the equalness that he brings, so that yes, meeting him is life changing, as I have also experienced, but the thing to take from this is how by choice you are taking this opportunity to meet yourself, the greatness that you are and therefore cannot but change.
Serge Benhayon supports life changes simply through a deep level of love, care, understanding and humility, Nothing in this world can top that, no PHD’s no Degrees or anything of the sort.
Me too – I don’t think I had ever met a complementary therapy practitioner who endorses conventional medicine until I met Serge Benhayon.
When we put our self-care first, everyone and everything we then do, benefits, because the quality of what we do is not compromised. We’ve set our world up so that at the moment, we tend to do the exact opposite, i.e. the way self-sacrifice is championed, so we do whatever it takes to get it done, no matter what the cost is to the body and our health.
Feeling or connecting with a quality in ourselves. our essence, that we can then value and feel is worth looking after and nurturing is so key in my experience too. It gives us a foundation from which to gauge our choices and the impact they have on that quality or connection, and so we have a barometer in a way from which we can learn and refine how we live everyday.
Having been one myself to look at conventional medicine in a overly judgmental and cynical way, after meeting Serge Benhayon and considering what he presents on this subject, and personally experiencing how conventional medicine was responsible for keeping multiple family members alive during times of illness and disease, I have come to accept and appreciate just how much they do offer, even if there are many things that I still feel are not right in the current allopathic medicine system. Using both Esoteric Healing modalities and conventional medicine together, we can provide a truly holistic approach to health that covers both the physical and energetic aspects of our health issues.
An inspiring blog Julie. Serge Benhayon is very clear about the necessity to embrace and work with conventional medicine when needed.
It is beautiful to read the shift in your relationships, and how you no longer feel exhausted but vital and committed to the world. You expose a big trap of being a mother and giving our power away when this is not setting a truly loving example to our children. Serge Benhayon reflects that family comes with responsibility and reflection.
Beautiful to read how your life changed, for the better since meeting Serge Benhayon, but also how those around you benefitted as well.
When I read how your life has changed since meeting Serge Benhayon (feeling more vital, more self-loving and caring, more connected relationships with your children, your children are steadier, working and volunteering etc…) I wonder why the media do not report these kind of stories (as your is one of many) as this is what the world is crying out for. But no, the media choose to print lies and fabricate stories around Serge Benhayon and go the cult like angle. Seriously? With your changes, that is a ‘cult’ I’d like to enjoy.
When we care for ourselves first, the family instantly realise that you are you first before you are a mother, a wife or friend and it inspires all the family to start taking responsibility for themselves rather than wanting you as a mother to sort it all out.
‘I grew to learn that being in a family was not about controlling and imposing on my children, to be and become all that I would like them to be, but rather to show love and care towards myself, then this would happen naturally in the family, as they could accept and be themselves’. This goes against everything we have been told so it can be huge to really take on board and to stay consistent with. How beautiful though when we can hold that beholding quality and allow things to unfold steady in the love that we are.
Making changes in my life meant that my health improved, I was well enough to go back to full-time work, my weight reduced along with many ill side effects from eating gluten and dairy, my mental health improved, the way I looked at life changed completely. Listening to and attending Universal Medicine courses has changed my life and continues to do so.
I too know without a shadow of doubt that if I had not begun to make changes in my life in respect to my diet and to the disregarding way I was living, that my health and my life would now be a total mess. The key to this transformation was presented to me by Serge Benhayon through his teachings of the Ageless Wisdom, but as with everything Serge presents it came with no expectations but simply with unconditional love. I took that key with both hands and into my heart and even though there are days where I forget to use it, it is always there to return to any moment I choose.
It is interesting reading your insights into families. I wonder how many parents on some level feel they “own” their children and impose on them rather than inspiring them by being a role model and living example of a loving way. Sacrificing ourselves is very harmful for everyone concerned and does not work. Living in a loving way (in the true meaning of the word love which does not have one ounce of emotion) offers the other a true choice, inspiration and support.
This is a beautiful testimony Julie on Serge Benhayon and how meeting him has changed your life considerably. I too have had a similar experience as you and my life has turned around with being open to this grand love and feeling the magic this has bought to my life, my relationships and my overall health and well-being.
This is beautiful Julie – a real testament to the power of reflection. When we see another live so naturally and effortlessly from their heart, it inspires the same movement within us unless we put measures in place to actively resist this.
” I began making changes in how I treated myself and regarded my body. This greatly improved my relationship with myself and with my family. ”
Is it not wonderful how simple it is, when one makes self loving choices regarding their life and their body everyone benefits from this.
Julie, you reflect the absolute truth of this man so beautifully and even though he has touched thousands of lives in so many ways and brought so much love and truth, he holds absolute humility and grace.
When your life is touched by a great Love, it inspires you to live that too and so you can’t help but share it with others. This is the fitting tribute to Serge Benhayon’s gifts to us all – just to live, learn and put it into practice. Thank you Julie for doing that here.
“Being in a family was not about controlling and imposing” – I agree. What I have noticed is that when the control and imposition is at play, no one is being themselves, even those who appear to be yielding the control and imposition.
It’s amazing the ripple effects of meeting Serge Benhayon. I met Serge nearly 10 years ago this year and not only has it changed my life exponentially, but those around me also as family and friends have felt to have Esoteric sessions and share their experiences with others.
It is interesting how we can take on a belief and believe in it so strongly yet do not know why we have it in the first place! ‘as I had been against conventional medicine since around the age of 15 – though for no particular reason, other than thinking it had nothing to offer other than making people sicker.’ This is not the first time I have heard someone say this with regards to conventional medicine and I went through a period of doing this as well. But as Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine share conventional medicine alongside esoteric medicine is an important part of healing.
I completely agree with what you have written about Serge Benhayon Julie. He is an amazing man and role model who has inspired countless people in the manner you have shared. His children and wife rock too!
I first came across Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine through a friend, life wasn’t a bunch of roses, but I was getting on with it, however since meeting Serge Benhayon and listening to his presentations, I have decided to changed the way I live, my life is now vastly improved, with a feeling of joyfulness everyday.
Beautiful Julie, I appreciate the way you draw our attention to the power of how we are. So much of our life is spent concerned with what we do and say. But the true impact and effect that we have is in the quality we live. The results that you have seen in your life is a great testament to this. It’s all about energy first, as our whole world shows.
Julie indeed Serge has inspired a change in every single part of my life, the ripple effects are incredible and have resulted in changes in many other lives as a result.
Realizing that we are not our disease is a huge step forward in bringing true healing. No disease can affect our essence but we can work with our disease to see where we have not lived true to our essence.
I love hearing all these accounts of how people turned their lives around by getting to know Serge Benhayon, this goes also for me and my husband our lives have hugely improved, letting go of needless issues and instead learning how to focus and bring through the bigger picture.
The irony that alternative therapies can state they are complementary to medicine but don’t seem to promote or fully appreciate the wisdom and effectiveness of conventional medicine in supporting our human body is something I have observed time and time again.
“When I first met Serge Benhayon I heard him talk and be very positive about conventional medicine – something I had never come across ever in any complementary therapy presentation.” This is a great point, when I was recovering from an illness I saw 5 or 6 complementary therapists and they were all completely anti all forms of medicine and medication, whereas Serge Benhayon has always been extremely pro medicine and it’s benefits and very positive about how conventional medicine and the esoteric modalities can work together.
One man in his truth has changed everything… what could more do in their equal truth?
So many mothers believe that sacrifice is an expected part of the role, so for you to come to recognise the illusion of this belief and that to be a mother does not mean you need to sacrifice or disregard yourself is extraordinary and a healing within itself. How gorgeous for both you and your children that you learn to love and care for yourself so that the love and care you offer them is founded in that as well, this is true role modelling… and true mothering.
Unfortunately, Serge Benhayon is a unique man, ironically, unlike some people in his position (presenting internationally and being a successful author of over 10 books) his motivation is not for “him/Serge” to be “successful” but in contrast to that, his life’s work is to educate others to awaken and realise their own true potential.
Serge works tirelessly to remind us of the fact we are no different to him. This is evident in his presenting, writing and workshopping style on the subject that we are all made of and from the same love. How much we express or communicate this quality/love comes down to the choices we make each day. Couple this with the responsibility we are willing to take for every move and thought and word we deliver and you have a body which either allows or prevents us from feeling just how amazing we are.
“Being a mother does not mean sacrificing myself”. Just imagine if every young woman was raised to know this truth. How different motherhood would be but sadly the ingrained belief systems around mothering in the main foster the self-sacrificing with the belief that a woman should put everyone else first and herself somewhere down the list, wherever she can find the space. So, I for one love the new perspective on mothering that Serge Benhayon has presented; if comes from a place of true love and to me it makes total sense
The remarkable transformation you share here Julie is breaking down so many myths of how to be a mother and in particular how being a single mother can be portrayed in society. What Serge Benhayon offers the world is the key ingredient that is missing – no judgement and control but a deeper love of oneself that naturally oozes out of our expression when we too choose to make life about love first.
It is a great point of humbleness and honesty when you can look back and see the life that would have been had you not made the sometimes difficult but necessary changes that needed to occur. But how often do we ignore those calls to change and simply carry on? How often do we really stand back and assess where it is all going, where we are taking ourselves and our families? Time spent with Serge Benhayon gives us that opportunity, he affords us the chance to take stock and honestly address where and what life has become and to ask ourselves if this is what we really want. And then from there and from a deep sense of love, start to make just the tiniest of changes, which eventually lead to a magnificent point where life is unrecognisable to what it was before.
Beautiful Julie – we cannot underestimate the difference we make when we take simple steps to care for ourselves, and likewise when we harshly ignore what our body has to say. If only we were to truly accept the ripple effect our choices have then we would never disregard or stop caring.
I am learning too that being and living true to myself is the greatest thing I can offer to my children. It is a constant learning as I let go of the many ideals, beliefs and pictures I have taken on from the outside around mothering but I know from within and there are moments in my life that confirm that when I am honouring me and how I feel I am equipped to deal with what ever arises in a confident and supporting way.
I agree Caroline, letting go of those pictures which only serve to restrict us and hold us back will not allow us to grow, and often we find that how we relate to others and how others then relate to us changes as the pictures, ideals and beliefs are put to rest – it opens life to us from every angle.
My life has also been totally transformed in the most glorious way since I met Serge Benhayon and I have observed the same in hundreds if not thousands of others. If one man can make such a huge impact on so many, imagine how it would be if the many all started living that way and the ripple effect as that grew and grew.
I completely agree Doug, trying to control is exhausting and doesn’t work so that is a double whammy. The funny thing is that when I let go of control I often experience the most awesome things happen that are far, far better and more fun than what that controlling part was trying to achieve so that makes it a triple whammy!!!
I was just reading where you wrote how being a mother does not mean sacrificing yourself or having no respect for how you treat yourself. It struck me that a lot of women put everyone first in that way and a lot men stress themselves out with the responsibility of being the breadwinner and then don’t have quality time with their children or partners. I wonder where we ever picked up all these ideas because when we step back we can see these ways are very harmful to us and are certainly not setting healthy role models for our children. The big missing ingredient in all this is love.
Serge Benhayon lives and is an inspiration to all that we too can live in a way that brings love, joy, harmony and truth to ourselves, our family, community and humanity.
I love what you have expressed here Julie, there is no doubt that the love, generosity and charity lived by Serge Benhayon is a divine inspiration for us all;
“My experiences have shown me that Serge Benhayon practises true charity – where he often gives freely of his time and expertise with no personal gain or recognition for himself.”
I went through many challenges with my body and the way I learned to approach my body by re-connecting and opening up what I felt in my body where was the disease or illness instead of wanting the pain or illness disappear made all the healing very différent. So much more loving and so much about truly healing. Serge Benhayon delivers gold to humanity and it is up to us in which speed we want to receive what is already delivered.
Like you Sandra my life has changed and evolved markedly since choosing to live the lessons taught by Serge Benhayon; he is indeed a remarkable, humble and inspiring man; as is what you have expressed here;
“My life and the responsibility I take in it towards myself, my choices, my family, friends and work is unrecognisable from how life used to be”.
Sometimes life can seem difficult, messy, chaotic and ‘too hard’. But when you honestly look at what’s true you get to see it’s just a series of choices you have made. No matter how dark things may seem Serge Benhayon’s living way shows us that there is way forward and out of the struggle, that’s available every day to those who choose Love. Thank you Julie for sharing your story.
I have been tremendously inspired by Serge Benhayon, from the way he lives his life to how he treats everyone equally, and from that inspiration I am adjusting my own livingness to find my choices change every day, and from once struggling with life I now enjoy every day.
Serge Benhayon, “….one man who has simply, openly shared and presented how he lives his life, all of which makes sense,” So true Julie. When I first came to Universal Medicine presentations it all felt so familiar, and my body said yes. I feel so appreciative of the new world teacher, right here in our midst. Wisdom, truth, integrity in one man who can show us the Way.
In a short article this offers so much. From healing an aversion to conventional medicine at a time it was very needed for you to pretty much flipping your life on it’s head and now to continuing to live that way and not return to how it was there is so much on offer here. With respect and if I can simply break it down, this all came from one man meeting you truly in a way that reminded you of who you are, remarkable. I don’t mean to simplify what is a deep story of your life but it didn’t seem complicated or even difficult and shows me that the way we are with people is the defining part. We can give them all manner of things, tell them great things to help but if we haven’t lived what we are offering then the words are lacking or only a part of the whole and so don’t deliver everything. This the part that’s missing around the world from where I stand and the reason it’s so profound and yet so simple and possibly dismissed is that we know it, we can see it but we have buried it. Live true to you and watch the world change, it can’t not change as you are the world and so anything you do is there for others to see the same.
The impact that Serge Benhayon has had on your life I can completely echo for myself. As you share that through him you came to understand and embody “I was not the disease but rather me as a woman first”, so I have come to understand and appreciate that it is not what I do, experience or feel that identifies, or ‘is’, me as my true essence transcends all that. That is what Serge reflects and lives, showing us all that it is possible to live from our essence.
A disease or illness can seem so overwhelming that we think of it as defining who we are, but I love how you say Julie that Serge Benhayon supported you to always know yourself as a woman first, as who you are in your essence and to know your worth unhindered by any ideals or beliefs that might get in the way.
Thank you for sharing so many gems Julie – what stood out for me this morning is your deeply felt knowing that Serge always met you as a woman first who happened to have breast cancer.This is so crucial if we are to address the many ills held within our bodies that we approach this with an understanding that at our core we have a divine essence that can never be destroyed by everything that we have taken on in our lives. Serge Benhayon and his family reflect how we can live lovingly with all around and unpick the false ideals and beliefs that we have taken on. As we come back to ourselves we have so much more to offer as we become fully functioning members of society and demonstrate to others the potential for living life connected to ourselves and taking responsibility for our own health and wellbeing and the relationships we have with everyone.
“My experiences have shown me that Serge Benhayon practises true charity – where he often gives freely of his time and expertise with no personal gain or recognition for himself.”
True charity is to give and expect nothing in return, and this includes accolades or a self-fulfilling feeling of having ‘done something good’. This is not to say that true charity is not rewarding, for it is immeasurably so, but only because it comes from the part of us that knows we are all equal and each deserve the same quality of love, care, respect and tenderness that is found deep within us all.
And this is just one person’s life… a vignette … A window into just one microcosm of the macrocosm that this one man is having an effect on… We live in an extraordinary age where ancient wisdom personified is walking with us talking with us eating with us living with us and being one of us so that in this reflection everyone can be inspired.
Yes I am among the string of hundreds and hundreds that can attest that my life has been fundamentally changed as a result of meeting Serge Benhayon. Yet what is so gorgeous is that Serge Benhayon never intends for it or would want it to be all about glorifying him in this. Because everything about how he lives, how he relates to people and what he teaches reminds us that such level of love and responsibility is our true essence. And every one of us can have the same loving ripple effects in the lives of many.
This man has without doubt changed many lives including my own. What is powerful now many years later is the impact my life has had on others and how they have changed not by sharing the work of the Livingness but living it. Our actions speak louder than words and when our family, friends, work colleagues, partners notice a difference that is an example of the powerful learning that is the work of the Ancient Wisdom and Serge Benhayon. The true living is now part of my everyday life like many others and this blog is a confirmation of what is possible if we choose to see another way of living that brings us dedication, vitality and a purpose to life that other distractions couldn’t. Thank you Julie and thank you Serge Benhayon.
Thank you for sharing Julie. I too have experienced how returning to a true way of living again totally transforms our lives. And it doesn’t stop there, as each year more and more is revealed.
What a beautiful marker in your life of the changes that have occurred within your family, by you bringing love and self-care to yourself first, so the old protective patters of controlling behaviour changed. This, then ripples from the inside-outwards to others and changes the dynamics of relationships.
“I grew to learn that being in a family was not about controlling and imposing on my children, to be and become all that I would like them to be, but rather to show love and care towards myself, then this would happen naturally in the family, as they could accept and be themselves”.
Julie, what a powerful and insightful blog this is, offering a level of true healing to all. A key point (for any illness or disease) you share is not just ‘getting through’ something to only return to living in the same way as before, but to build a loving relationship with oneself first and make different choices from this.
“In using conventional medicine and then feeling supported to look deeper within me, I have had an extremely positive experience with a life threatening disease. This experience came from the way I approached breast cancer, in that it wasn’t something to ‘just get through’ but an opportunity to stop and reflect on how I was living in every area of my life, particularly in regards to how I treated myself and was towards my family”.
It is truly amazing what you have done and how you have transformed your life. There is so much out there in the community, society, books, tv shows and magazines, all trying to provide us with solutions to how to ‘just get by in life’, but Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine talk about true healing true responsibility, what it means to be vital in life, not get by, it is a totally different way of being and living.
It is inspiring how you have turned your life around to take full responsibility for your health in conjunction with Western Medicine and also how you have taken on full time work plus several voluntary roles. It is only a good regime of Self Care that allows us to do so much without getting exhausted.
I feel so blessed to have this humble, inspirational man Serge Benhayon in my life. I cannot imagine what my life would look like if I had not met him and the teachings of Way of The Livingness, plus the amazing presentations and healings offered by Universal Medicine for us all. Thank you Julie.
It is inspiring to hear these stories about how so many of us have embraced more of who we are due the inspiration of Serge Benhayon; one man who knows the truth of life and lives it to the full. Deep appreciation for you Julie for sharing about your life and so too for Serge Benhayon. Words are becoming superfluous when feeling the magnitude of this man’s contribution to humanity!
I agree meeting Serge Benhayon has changed EVERYTHING in my life in the most wonderful way that I couldn’t have even imagined was possible. The change is that I have changed or rather I am unchanging in that I am returning to my true glorious self. So really before I met Serge I was changed and now I could perhaps say meeting Serge is unchanging me and the joy is really in meeting myself and everyone else.
There is so much to learn about allowing others to be and developing our own relationship with ourselves so that we can reflect what true self care and self love is all about.
As you write about the changes you and your family have made “….. down to one man who has simply, openly shared and presented how he lives his life, all of which makes sense, and he has never watered this down in fear of how it might upset another” I would echo and agree the same for myself. Without doubt I was heading for a life of exhaustion, chronic illness and malcontent. I – we – the world, when it chooses to listen, have a lot to thank Serge Benhayon for.
Julie, that you came to the understanding that you are a woman before anything—even the disease, is huge. If as women we could come from this understanding always, that we know every choice that we make, we make it as a woman first and foremost, we know it is a choice we will own up to, and a choice which will lead to our next choices, and that we always have a choice to choose something that feels honoring to us at that moment and subsequently.
This makes sense and is so much more loving, ‘I grew to learn that being in a family was not about controlling and imposing on my children, to be and become all that I would like them to be, but rather to show love and care towards myself, then this would happen naturally in the family, as they could accept and be themselves’.
There is no doubt I have learnt about true health and well being from Serge Benhayon where I had previously settled for health to be an absence of illness. How far from the truth is that?…. A very long way indeed.
Serge Benhayon is remarkable how he has dedicated his life to being everything he is – Absolute Love for all to see. He does not waver and because he lives such a transparent life, hundreds of people are inspired to be this Absolute Love also.
It’s interesting and very revealing that the areas you share as being impacted by the teaching Serge presents are all intimately related, and in fact show that life is all one, that every area affects and impacts on the other: “the care and attention I now bring to myself.”… thus having “a positive effect on my health and wellbeing and feeling of self worth”…. thus “how I relate to my family” …and into “my attitude towards conventional medicine”.
True family means living with connection and not control. When we live connected to the great love that we are and express this whole-heartedly with others, everyone expands. When we disconnect from this we panic as we sense the loss but rather than re-connect, what we invariably end up doing is searching for measures we can put in place to not feel this gaping hole we have thus created, hence the control we use to not feel the separation we have caused. True medicine is learning how to live in a way that addresses this division.
What you are describing here is a way of living that when lived changes everything, including our health and wellbeing. With the ever-increasing rates of illness and disease isn’t it time to look at how we are living?
“When I first met Serge Benhayon I heard him talk and be very positive about conventional medicine – something I had never come across ever in any complementary therapy presentation.” So this begs the question ‘What is complementary therapy being complementary to? To be truly complementary conventional medicine and complementary medicine have to work together to address the symptoms and look at and address the underlying causes of what is being reflected in our body.
Serge Benhayon has represented in a very tangible, lived way, someone living from their essence and when you feel this in another so clearly, you cannot help but at least for a moment fall back into your own. Of course then you can question it, doubt it, critique it and even defend against it vehemently. Or you can say, that felt true and that opens up a whole new ball game. The choice is ours, eternally.
What Serge Benhayon and his family show to us all is deeply inspiring. Bringing true love in our lives and the world. It is that what changes lives.
Serge has never watered anything down – he does not take the easy way out, but meets every situation with an absoluteness that is disarming and refreshing. I am always called to be more – more of what? you might ask. Simply and wholly more of me.
I so agree, to be offered the simplicity of what he offers yet to feel the incredible depth that goes with that simplicity is life changing. It showed me how little we truly meet people for who they are but are conditioned to place expectations and judgements right from the get-go. I have had to really watch how I did that in order to meet people without imposing and it has been a revelation. Your blog has been very confirming of the man I have met as well, thank you for sharing.
Julie what you write blows me away, not just because of how true and lovely it is, but yet again showing the amazing generosity and charity of Serge Benhayon. He seemingly miraculously provides free support and answers emails to what must be hundreds if not thousands of people around the world. I am always hearing people sharing with me the healing and support they received from Serge whether it be his builders, students, relatives anyone and everyone from all walks of life – he freely gives to all equally. And yes Serge Benhayon is indeed very pro medicine and has supported many people to come back to conventional medicine as it is the perfect partner to esoteric medicine.
Wow huge changes, but in saying that if the changes had not been felt in your body and in the family as more loving and supportive then your commitment to these changes would not have continued. What Serge Benhayon shares about caring for ourselves, our relationships and the life we live has already been felt and lived by himself. Serge Benhayon has chosen to be the initiator of living a more loving life in his own life, which has lead to another way. I feel very blessed to have been exposed to this way and to feel the truth and healing this has offered.
Julie, it is gorgeous to read and feel your deep appreciation of Serge Benhayon and how he has been a solid and unwavering reflection to you of what lies within you ready to be re-awakened. Serge Benhayon is a truly inspiring and extraordinary man. I too know Serge Benhayon, and can say that he lives in a way that is transparent, open and extremely honest – he hides nothing, is always open to what you have to bring and always celebrates you for who you are. There is never a focus on the mistakes that we can all make, there is never a focus on the imperfections that we all carry, but there is always a deep love that he brings, knowing that we are all equal within. We are indeed blessed when our paths cross that of Serge Benhayon, for if we choose it after the reflection he offers, then our lives can turn completely around in a way that only nature’s beauty can compare.
So true Henrietta – Serge Benhayon offers a consistent and powerful reflection of how life can be lived when lived from the angle of everyone being equal within.
“There is never a focus on the mistakes that we can all make, there is never a focus on the imperfections that we all carry, but there is always a deep love that he brings, knowing that we are all equal within”.
I agree that Serge Benhayon’s presentations are gold and an absolute blessing in regard to self care and evolution. As you have said, one man has changed everything.
Serge Benhayon’s four children are ‘the proof of the pudding’ here – if such proof is required. They are all remarkable young people with successful careers, full of wisdom, joy and love, exhibiting a level of presence and confidence that is rare. They embrace life with a vitality and aliveness that ‘bucks the trend’ in the youth of our world. Serge Benhayon is onto something that we can all access and reconnect to and the way his children are is the best evidence there is of this fact.
The presentations and reflections of Serge Benhayon have changed everything in my life too. Whilst this may sound dramatic it is not and is in fact very simple. When we make the choice to be the love we are rather than spend our days in search of love, things do change. We become vessels that are bringing love into our world, rather than empty containers in search of love. This simple but profound change does affect everything in life – especially our relationships with each other which are subsequently more about meeting in the fullness of who we are rather than seeking acceptance, recognition and approval. This one change alone affects everything.
There is much to appreciate in the transformation shared here but the thing that really stood out for me is when children know themselves in such a way that means that they are not ‘seduced’ by the lure of drugs, alcohol and cigarettes etc. There is so much pressure of our children to join in, be part of the ‘gang’, do what the other kids are doing – that when they have the self-love to not allow that pressure to sway them, then that is truly amazing and remarkable – and a testament to a way of life that is really working.
The combination of taking responsibility for the life style choices that lead to our health issues combined with the support the marriage of Conventional Medicine and Universal Medicine offers us is a holistic approach to healing and expansion.
The reflection offered by Serge Benhayon and his family allows us to see and confirm the truth of love, and of true care and how family can truly live.. and it is confirming because we know the truth of it deep down … and that is something we had little experience of growing up.
Great to read your blog again Julie, my life is also very different to how it was prior to meeting Serge Benhayon. I was also exhausted, stressed, withdrawn from the world, and uncommitted to caring for myself or seeing a doctor regularly. This all changed by feeling the simple and practical common sense of Serge’s presentations on self care. I am also now reaping the benefits of a life lived with self care as my focus, as my wellbeing and health on every level has improved remarkably.
Julie you really listened to your body and changed your life around. Simple and profound. From one of disregard to living lovingly towards yourself and the ripple affect to support your children in a true way.
How we have lived in the past accumulates to create our reality today, but how we choose to live our everyday from today can definitely support us to rebuild our bodies, our relationships and our lives. Although it is sometimes impossible to correct all our past choices on a physical level, we can heal them energetically with our unwavering commitment to our evolution.
Thank you Julie for so beautifully expressing the deep appreciation and love that so many of us feel for Serge Benhayon. The love with which he holds each and everyone of us, and humanity as a whole, is truly profound and unfathomable.
It is important that we all develop an ever evolving relationship with our own bodies to understand how it functions optimally, for when we appreciate it and take care of it, our wellbeing and vitality increases proportionally just as you have so beautifully illustrated Julie.
What a beautiful sharing Julie to know through Serge Benhayon’s inspiration you have been able to make such changes is amazing, it truly shows the power of inspiration and that in life we have opportunities everyday to live in a way that truly reflects love, care and nurturing for self and others if we so choose.
When we dare to live our most sacred truth, to be open with no reserve, to share with no condition, to speak from our heart, it has ripple effects that we cannot begin to mentally comprehend. I agree Julie, Serge Benhayon is a shining example of what can come from just ‘going for it’ and living life openly. Knowing and witnessing the way he lives has absolutely changed the course of my life too and inspired me to see that we are always harming or healing in all we do. The healing lives in being this open, transparent you.
Very recently I have come to feel for myself the absolute power of transparency. Being truly open has been like opening the doors to life for me…and of course, how could anyone get in if I was keeping them out?
My experience mirrors yours in many aspects Julie – I used to be totally anti western medicine and anti standard education. I practiced and advocated alternate medicine and also home-schooled for many years. I was very reluctant to follow a lot of conventional things in fact! My life totally changed in much the same way that yours did after meeting Serge Benhayon and attending Universal Medicine presentations – not because Serge told me to do anything but because I had a role model of another way to live which previously had been absent of self care.
Julie what a joy to read your blog again today, I can relate many of your points to my life as well regarding the positive effects of Serge Benhayon’s work on my health, wellbeing and self worth. Serge is a deeply inspiring man and his ability to live love is touching lives the world over. I will continue my involvement with Universal Medicine for the rest of my life because of how incredibly supportive and downright amazing their work is!
What Serge Benhayon brings to humanity is truly profound…..he lives an exemplary life and is an absolute inspiration for us all.
Thank you Julie, it is lovely to feel and read the changes you have made in your life, I felt how powerful and liberating it is to understand our roles as parents that we are not here to control, impose and identify in being a parent, but to care and reflect the love of who we are, so children grow up with that reflection of what true love is.
Yes Julie,
Serge Benhayon has changed much in how we see the world. Exposing or very ingrained arrogance and offering us a way to be that begins to open our hearts and minds to the possibility that life can be lived differently. It is then up to us to choose that way. What you share here is a testament to making that choice.
Julie I get a real sense of appreciation in your article for everything that you’ve felt since meeting Serge Benhayon, from the way you’ve been inspired to turn your life around, to the loving care you constantly feel from this Man and from the hundreds of others who’ve also been inspired. Reading how this has rippled out into the rest of your family and seeing how they too have grown, shows that when we choose to live a life of love, we too can change everything for everyone. My experience of Serge has been the same and it is something that I am learning to be deeply appreciative of, the choices I’ve made.
It’s amazing to take stock and consider, as you have done Julie, just how my life would be if it would not be for Serge Benhayon. His presentations have inspired me to re-consider every part of my day-to-day life. And more so he shows us all that we actually all have this effect on everyone we meet, we all are constantly causing this ‘ripple effect’, we all are super-powerful leaders – the question is just what are we promoting in our living way, every moment, every day?
I think it is a crime of the first order for so many of the ‘New Age’ therapies to be against medicine, because many people truly in need may end up sicker as a result of not approaching their GP. Yes, there are certain aspects of conventional medicine that are appalling – the huge profits made by pharmaceutical companies for one, but medicine per se is one of our most valuable assets, and it is great that Serge Benhayon endorses our use of western medicine. We can certainly reduce the need for doctors and medications by looking after ourselves a lot more than we do right now, but doctors on the whole spend many years training, work long hours, and have much experience and knowledge to offer that we can benefit from when we are truly ill.
Amanda, This is a good point you raise here around becoming loving patients as well as adding becoming very appreciative of all medicine offers and does and this includes the doctors and nurses as the majority deeply care about their work and the people.
I agree, nurses and doctors play a huge role in our care when we are ill. The more they see their own value in what they bring the more they will be able to care for the sick in our communities.
I realised while reading this Julie, that while I didn’t reject western medicine openly, I came to it with an attitude of not wanting to be pushed around so there was a waryness, a resistance that stopped me from accepting and fully allowing the healing that could happen to happen. Serge Benhayon, through his dedication to healing and his consistent willingness to be open to western medicine and the medical profession, showed me how to accept the help I needed in a very deep way. Serge has changed everything and has helped a lot of people become very loving patients and very loving people just by his inspiration.
The trap of perfection you talk about, Linda is one that is there for many and one that drove me for years. Letting go of the pictures I had (and can have still) helps hugely on the path of returning to true health and well being.
Developing the relationship that we have with ourselves to be more loving and taking greater care of ourselves, isn’t just for us as you have shown Julie, the greater loves spills over into all our relationships and so it benefits everyone.
What Serge Benhayon brings to humanity is so profound that we can only really get a glimpse of what he presents, it is as if we don’t have the ears to listen or the eyes to see, and it is not until our hearts re-awaken that we will truly know the depth of what he is bringing.
The understanding that we are ‘not what we do’ is super beautiful not only because the false attachment we have to our jobs, but also seeing we are not the harming and unloving energy we sometimes choose to let through. The ability to live with this knowing is something sublime Serge Benhayon shows us all. You illustrate perfectly Julie how Serge shows us how with the way we live, each of us can change it all.
Thank you Julie, I can so relate to a lot of what you have shared. There is so much to appreciate about Serge Benhayon. He is paving the way to reflect to many that life does not have to be hard, exhausting, unloving, crippled in ‘do’s and don’ts, but feeling into what your body needs and can align to with the cycles of the moon and universe. That is pretty amazing!!
This is a good point made here that once we live with a connection to our body we can align to so much more in the universe.
Beautiful Julie, thank you, the sharing of our appreciation and love for Serge Benhayon and the love he has reflected to us all in our lives is immense, life changing and unforgettable. The greatest gift in the world.
“I could feel a quality, or something in myself equal to Serge Benhayon, that meant I was worth looking after.” Wow – how powerful it is when we love and honour ourselves that we can have this effect on other people. I wonder too how many people you Julie have inspired to make different choices? The impact of how we choose to live is so much greater than we think.
Julie what a wonderful testimony to both yourself for the choices you made, and the unfathomable support that Serge Benhayon humbly offers us all.
Yes this is an outstanding reflection of the appreciation you hold for Serge and the impact he has had on your life. What an incredible transformation, and I love that you saw with open eyes how your body was feeling and what help was needed. You then gave yourself permission to be supported, and let go of ideals stopping this.
Beautifully written declaration of the love and appreciation you hold for Serge Benhayon! Thank you.
Serge Benhayon is relentless in his love for humanity, and what is extraordinary is how this love is so wide and broad that everyone who he meets feels honoured, loved, and respected, and the natural divinity that lies within us all is rekindled by this extraordinary deeply truly compassionate love.
The way Serge Benhayon simply presents that our life is an absolute reflection of ‘the way’ we live is so powerful. What is beautiful Julie, is that in acknowledging and understanding this, you have become a powerful presenter on the quality of choices too. In this way we all have the capability to ‘change everything’.
it is indeed an absolute reflection of the way we live, I agree in full.
Your testimony to Serge Benhayon and his family is so true and heartfelt, they are indeed a wonderful example and model for us all to be inspired by; thank you Julie.
I agree Julie, and considering the size of the family this really is something and needs to be studied.
Julie there is so much in this blog of which I can relate too, but today one thing stood out for me and that was when you mentioned how Serge Benhayon is with his family and the level of respect they have for each other – I have also noticed this. It took me some years to be convinced as I was sceptical; I could feel it was for real but was watching and waiting to make sure. Now I am more than convinced, especially as I have never heard as much as a disgruntled tone come from any of them, and that ‘s saying something, and I have known them for nine years.
What a joy for you Julie, and what a blessing for your school and family, that you have rediscovered your vitality and your inner wisdom. I loved reading about your transformation and your experiences; a great reflection for us all.
What is amazing, about everyone confirming the difference Serge Benhayon has made in their lives and all the changes we are all choosing to make, is that everyone is from different backgrounds, ages vary, have met him with different ailments, and have different stories to tell. However there is one thing in common and that is a lack of self love and self care in our lives. It seems this is the starting point to address all ill issues in life. Very simple and a way of living that can turn the world around 🙂
“Being a mother does not mean sacrificing myself as I was previously doing, having no respect for my body in how I treated myself”. This also has been a difficult transition for me Julie. I now do not give myself over to my children and grandchildren; however there are dips now and then!!
“My experiences have shown me that Serge Benhayon practises true charity – where he often gives freely of his time and expertise with no personal gain or recognition for himself.” Yes Julie. Serge Benhayon is remarkable in his willingness to offer advice, wisdom, expertise, love and truth to any one that asks and he will do it whenever it is trutly needed. I have known Serge to not have a lunch break during a course, because someone needed some support from him. And for Serge it’s not about putting others before himself out of a need for recognition or reward, but because of a true need from the person seeking the support. I have never met anyone like Serge, he is quite extraordinary in his ordinariness.
“My experiences have shown me that Serge Benhayon practises true charity – where he often gives freely of his time and expertise with no personal gain or recognition for himself”. I agree with you Julie, Serge Benhayon does practice true charity and compassion, he is such an inspirational role model for us all to follow. How blessed are we!
This is a beautiful testimonial to a man who has inspired so many to live a life of more self-love and self-care. I too was on a very self-destructive path before being introduced to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. Now I understand and know that the way I live is the best medicine ever, and if I need to see a doctor, this is all part of my livingness for this too is a self-loving choice.
I too am indebted to Serge Benhayon for my health and wellbeing, not that there is any debt, just love. Through lack of self worth I was on a very destructive path and was shown that each and everyone of us matters and deserves love and to be love.
“I was shown that each and everyone of us matters and deserves love and to be love.” Beautifully said, Kevin and this is so true and important that we realise we all have this part to play in life called love.
I love that you point out how there is no debt, this is also true with my relationship with Serge, he has done endless things for me, yet he never lords that over or uses it against me, in fact, he is extremely humble.
Absolutely agreed Sarah. Serge Benhayon is a living example of true humility, true charity & true brotherhood. We would do well as a society to be inspired by this example, knowing these same qualities are within us also.
I realised today after talking to someone that people can only see in others what they are already, Serge Benhayon is”true humility, true charity & true brotherhood.”as are you and I. In my view people that see Serge as anything else, are mistaken and cannot see past their own issues.
Yes meeting Serge Benhayon has also changed everything for me. I remember when I grew up at a certain age in my life, I think around 16, I felt like already giving up, as at that age I got a sense that life as it was lived by many was not as nice as I felt my life could be when I was a kid. It felt devastating. Then a couple of years later I went to my first workshop with Universal Medicine presented by Serge. It changed my life, as what he has shared in these workshops made so much simple sense and it made me realise these things I felt life could be like were actually true, yet not lived by the majority. So yes heartfelt thanks to Serge Benhayon for sharing all that he is. And thank you Julie for this blog.
This is so resoundingly true..”This is down to one man who has simply, openly shared and presented how he lives his life, all of which makes sense, and he has never watered this down in fear of how it might upset another. He has met, accepted and understood me on every level, even at times when I have not been able to do so myself! His way is unimposing and is only ever loving,”
The changes that have occurred in my life are truly miraculous, even though I have not had too traumatic an experience of life – it still needed to be healed in so many areas. I was totally lost and at sea about how to proceed and heal my issues until I met Serge Benhayon and started attending courses at Universal Medicine.
Very inspiring to read Julie, how much you have changed your life by taking more responsibility. It is never too late to change our life and basically our behaviors, patterns, momentums. We are not victims and each of us has the possibility to connect back to his inner heart and live a vital and joyful life.
It was lovely to read your story Julie – thank you. I could relate to what you said at the end about being inspired by the way Serge lives and knowing that you equally could re-connect to your inner-wisdom and live from it as he does – at your own pace. This is what is so truly amazing – so often we have strategies that push or manipulate us into change and growth – however the true power of change come from our own will and choices and there is no greater inspiration than another living example. The fact that Serge committed so entirely to his soul – means that we are all inspired – this is because we are all connected and the soul carries the universal qualities of God which call us all back. So Serge is not touting a theory or strategy – he is living the glory of his Soul which is a sound we all deeply deeply know and miss and want in our lives… He says – this is the way, try it for yourself..
Julie this is a beautiful sharing of all that Serge Benhayon is bringing to the world and how it is all about the love and care in our everyday lives. The living of this is true medicine and brings a health and healing to our lives and complements and is the key to Conventional Medicine and true healing cannot occur without it. Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine is the gift to humanity to be embraced by us all lovingly to simply be who we innately are. Thank you.
Thank you Julie your post, it was so, so beautiful to read, and the amazing changes that have happened in your life. I too, have a deep love and respect for Serge, who is a man of infinite love, a man who walks the talk, and reflects to all what true equality and brotherhood really is. How wonderful to be here on earth in this New Era energy.
Returning to your blog Julie is a lovely reminder for me to continually bring care and attention to myself thus allowing me to feel vital and healthy.
This in turn supports me to bring my light into the world, how cool is that!
Life is a process of being open to what supports us on a moment to moment basis. Your openness has allowed for yourself, your children and others to grow in loving awareness. Conventional Medicine is a doing amazing work and with the support of Universal Medicine allows for much healing and expansion. Thanks Julie, what you have shared clearly identifies that we have a responsibility to make choices which support us to move toward whole health and be involved out in the world.
What you are saying here is so important. The marriage of Conventional Medicine and Universal Medicine will absolutely allow for much healing and expansion. Along with taking responsibility, this is also key, for our own healing and expecting Conventional Medicine to be able to ‘fix’ everything.
This morning I woke up feeling a past traumatic time in my life due to a similar event coming up for me. It was like my body still remembered the trauma even though I had moved on and have been living a completely different life for more than 6 years now. This really gave me the opportunity to appreciate the dedication I have made to taking more care of myself, accepting conventional medicine and its expertise and allowing the loving support of Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon in all he presents, bring me back to the truth of who I am, no longer perpetuating the lie I had been continuing to feed by reliving my hurts over and over again. There is a natural joy and vitality in living The Way of the Livingness that can cannot be ignored!
In my many years experienced as nurse, I was frustrated by people giving their power away to medicine, as in, seeking it as a crutch to support them with the poor lifestyle choices they were making. This is not at all to state that others really do need the support that conventional medicine offers. Having now studied with Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine it is still very refreshing and inspiring to find an organisation who stands by how we can make choices in everyday life that are in effect preventative medicine, while also encouraging people to seek conventional medicine. The combination of these two approaches, ensure there is no giving of power away.
Yes, it is unusual for somebody identified as an alternative practitioner to actually be a complementary-to-medicine practitioner like Serge Benhayon, who works with doctors where both mutually support the healing process of the patient.
yes it is unusual, and he has helped so many to see that mainstream medicine is not perfect, it can be supportive and needed , it is not to be feared or avoided at all costs. It can also work very well with esoteric medicine.
Simon I observe how many people either disregard or avoid conventional medicine or give their power away to medical practitioners. I appreciate the support of medicine these days, but take myself to the appointment as an equal participant, knowing I also have the key role to play in my own healing.
“His way is unimposing and is only ever loving, which means I have chosen to make changes for myself in my own time with no sense of pressure – all of these unique qualities I had not felt previously in anyone else I had met through my life”.
This is a beautiful testimony to Serge and his family; one in which I concur wholeheartedly.
Your blog is also a beautiful testimony to you Julie; it is lovely to feel your healing and your appreciation you have for yourself; this is awesome.
A truly beautiful sharing Julie, I can relate to not having anything to do with the medical. But I have come to accept the wholeness approach which Serge speaks of and supports, which combines Conventional medicine with the Universal Medicine of self care, self love and responsibility for our choices. What a gift this form of healing is for mankind.
What you and Julie have shared here Mary will ring true for so many mothers I’m sure. Have children can so often lead to a woman sacrificing herself for them, but as Julie so brilliantly explains this doesn’t have to be the case. I did the same for my own children, and basically put my life on hold to look after them. At the time, I thought nothing of it, but having been so inspired by the work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, I too have realised that this was not taking responsibility for myself and was not a true reflection for them. What I have learnt and am still learning is that the more I take responsibility for myself, the more it allows my children to be all of who they are as we let go of our expectations of each other. The result is our relationships are so much more loving than ever before.
Serge Benhayon is a true inspiration – in the way he lives, the way he treats every single person equally and with utmost integrity, and the consistent love he brings to all. Although I worked in nursing from 18ys old, I was also anti western medicine – somewhat hypocritical for sure. I was open to western medicine having its place in emergency situations if people needed this however it didn’t happen for me so I only went to complementary therapists for treatment. To hear Serge talk so positively about western medicine was quite revealing to say the least. Through being inspired by these presentations I went back to nursing after a 10 yr gap, and now look at medicine and nursing from a completely different and positive perspective. I had left nursing burnt out but returned inspired…western medicine and complementary medicine together are a powerful combination and have a great deal to offer humanity.
This a great sharing Paula and interesting to read from a medical professional’s perspective how they felt about medicine and the way you now view it since meeting Serge Benhayon – what a gift for your patients!
Serge Benhayon Is the epitome of consistency, integrity, and service to humanity… With an extraordinary and relentless love that will be the foundation for humanity’s return to its true path to the inner heart, and the cornerstone of the bedrock of the re-establishing of the glory of the word, meaning, and truth, of religion.
The concept of complementary medicine and alternative medicine is interesting and can be confusing in its application. But its black and white to me. Complementary medicine accepts the wisdom of conventional medicine and works with it in full support of the value conventional medicine brings to us as human beings and our societies as a whole. Alternative medicine does not fully believe in conventional medicine and uses other or alternative measures to cure the bodies ailments as they manifest.
Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine actively encourage self care and self responsibility for all that we do in our daily life. Self care and self responsibility is undoubtedly foundational and contributes to the prevention of illness and disease….after all, prevention is far better than the cure. But, when you can’t prevent it, conventional medicine is always there to support your ability to heal, as is the complementary effect that Universal Medicines modalities do to support the human being. Great blog Julie and lovely to hear how much you now value conventional medicines wisdom and its ability to support our human body’s process of healing.
It is so lovely to read and feel how you have taken responsibility for your choices and can now appreciate the preciousness and tenderness of you.
Your story is very inspirational as you (and I) have been inspired by Serge Benhayon and his family.
The lessons and understanding you have shared are remarkable and truly beautiful to read. It is amazing the effect that one man’s love and wisdom can have on one person and then how that can then lovingly embrace an entire family or more. This is a gorgeous sharing filled with enormous appreciation for Serge that I also feel for the inspiration he too has brought to my life.
Julie I’ve enjoyed reading your blog very much. Every day my appreciation for Serge Benhayon grows, as does my awe. Such a humble man who has single handedly supported immense positive change in the lives of so many worldwide. Like yourself Julie my own life is unrecognisable to how it was prior to attending Universal Medicine presentations and workshops. I am remarkably healthier, I have many new relationships of a quality I could only previously dream about, and I’m more able to function in work, and contribute positively to those around me. Your amazing story is one of many.
Just this one point alone, how Serge Benhayon supported you in breaking down resistance to conventional medicine, is a huge testimony to the integrity of the man. The same support for me has born fruit recently in undergoing minor investigatory medical procedures I would have baulked at, which although were physically not significant to my health, offered a vast change in my attitudes towards seeking support for myself in general.
Thank you Julie, for sharing your story and the power when we choose Conventional Medicine and are open to take responsibility and look deeper within ourselves at the life choices that might be at the root cause of illness and disease. The love, consistency ,care and support by by Serge Benhayon is so inspiring and healing for all.
Thanks for sharing Julie, I love how you expressed so simply and practically the transformations in your life and family. I too have experienced the incredible support of Serge Benhayon and his family and have found the same. “He has met, accepted and understood me on every level, even at times when I have not been able to do so myself!” It takes an extraordinary person to hold this level of love, and patience to allow us to grow and learn in our own time until we can develop this same love and support for ourselves.
Yes I agree, Annie it does take an extraordinary person to hold this level of love, but what l have experienced is that for Serge Benhayon this is normal everyday life for him and how it never lessens and even when others discover a love for themselves the love deepens so we can all grow in love more.
Indeed Annie…Serge Benhayon is an extraordinary man who presents a way of living absolute truth and love which is an amazing gift for all.
Beautiful Julie I love how you show a real responsibility and loving approach for your own healing and life inspired by the presentations of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine . The support you have received from both Conventional Medicine and Universal Medicine is amazing and combining the two is a real inspiration for humanity as the way to live, be and embrace life. Thank you for your inspiring sharing and the love you are and are offering so honestly.
” … I am sure life would be quite a mess by now.”
I suspect this line is an understatement … it’s possible that if there had not been the support from Serge Benhayon to assist you in embracing conventional medicine and also the complementary healing available, that you may not be here at all. Truly everything you say and describe about Serge is spot on and his consistency and availability are also a blessing for us all. Thank you for sharing your story in such a lovely way.
‘My life and the responsibility I take in it towards myself, my choices, my family, friends and work is unrecognisable from how life used to be’… and just look at what and how that level of responsibility has transformed your life into a life with a commitment and purpose that inspires others to do the same for themselves. Great blog Julie.
Thank you for your blog Julie. It shows the practical and profound extraordinary life changes that the work of Serge Benhayon and Universe Medicine inspires.
I felt this too Rosanna, and you have described it beautifully: “I know that as soon as I heard Serge explain life, energy and history from an energetic perspective, that I had heard truth.” For me there was absolutely no question about what I had heard. It was as if this is what I had been waiting to hear all my life, and now at last it was being spelt out simply and clearly. And as you say Simon, ‘there is nowhere else to go, as the whole world has changed’.
Our bodies are constantly communicating with us from love and I am still learning not to over ride what my body is telling me and to surrender to its truth.
Yes I agree I am still learning to not overide my body just because I don’t want to admit the ill choice or don’t like what it is showing me, but it is essential otherwise the body ‘shouts’ very loudly in the form of something like an accident or serious illness or disease like cancer. Learning to live by what we already know as our truth is definitely the way to go, despite its challenges at times!
It is this distinct lack of pressure to ‘get’ anything or anywhere that makes Universal Medicine such a unique organisation, and Serge Benhayon such an incredibly special person. His willingness to hold all of us equally with the same care and respect regardless of what is going on in our lives is remarkable and such an inspiration.
I agree Naren this way of feeling there is no pressure is unique to Universal Medicine. Absolute total acceptance and understanding all the way!
Julie I love the way you approached breast cancer as an opportunity to stop and reflect on how you were living in every area of your life, and that it wasn’t something to ‘just get through’ so that you could get on with your life again. As a result a beautiful transformation has occurred. It is great that you are sharing your experience as it is a truly inspiring story.
Well said Anne, miracles are not miracles anymore, but normal changes due to lifestyle choices. It’s quite sad that we have come so far as a human race that we consider something so normal a miracle. This shows how far we are removed from our truth and how we could be living and truly evolving.
This is Beautiful Julie. You’re an absolutely amazing example of how we can change our lifes by starting to take care of ourselves first rather than being there for others first. Wow, how Amazing that you’ve come such a long way and now are a inspiration yourself for others as well as a beacon of light for your children, family and other (close) loved ones. Thank you for sharing.
So true, Floris. How Julie is living now is the result of her choice to choose to be love for herself and those around her. Inspired by Serge Benhayon, but the choice to change and appreciate was hers.
He certainly has Julie! Changed everything, for everyone. It is inspiring to know each of us can make a difference and make an impact in this way. When we subscribe to Love, anything and everything becomes not only a possibility, but a reality.
The changes you have implemented in your life seem to flow for you Julie, and that is what seems to happen once a person has opened up to allow what is true to come in. Serge Benhayon shares only what he is living. There is no request that anyone follow and do the same. What is often found in listening to Serge is that the truth of what he is saying in known also, within each of us and so all else follows. Beautiful sharing, thank you Julie.
Thank you Julie. I love what you shared here about Serge not holding back the way he lives out of fear of how someone might take it. He lives and walks with a solidness in that the way he lives is The Way, and makes no apology for it. I still have a lot to learn from this, and I can’t believe how much we can apologise for the way we live, when it is so amazing. We need to bring our focus more and more to claiming the way we live when it is fantastic, and to do that actually taking stock and appreciating what it is we bring when we make responsible choices for our lives and health. Humanity needs this reflection, so holding it back out of some sort of ‘fear’ really makes no sense at all!!
When I read this I could feel in myself that I can feel apologetic about and hold a shame in the choices I make as they do not match the majority of others. This is another way of holding back. Thank you for this realisation and seeing that more appreciation and claiming in how I live is needed so others can be inspired and make changes too so as you say these apologies make no sense.
I too can feel this in me. I know it’s a trap I have fallen into, and still do. I end up not expressing all the glory, joy and love that I feel, so that the other person does not have to feel that and perhaps be miserable or sad that they too do not have that….yet!….for it is never too late to make self loving choices and turn your life around. So as you say Amelia, it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to do this.
I agree Amelia, Serge Benhayon is a great example of someone who just claims who he is in full. Having this reflection in my life has changed everything for me. I am learning not to walk around apologizing for my very existence, which I used to do and instead know and honour myself. It is an inspiring way to live and brings with it a foundation for true health and wellbeing.
A beautiful appreciation of Serge Benhayon and the inspiration he offers to us all to live with love. The constant searching for ‘that something missing’ in my life has been replaced with a knowing who I am and a deeper and growing understanding of the purpose of life.
That is so simple and clear Mary, and greatly supportive to everyone else. I love ” ‘that something missing in my life’ has been replaced with a knowing who I am and growing understanding of the purpose of life”. This is an example of what happens when we begin to take responsibility for our own health and choices, and trust our own feelings, as Serge Benhayon has shown us the way.
I can perfectly echo your experience Rosanna – superbly expressed.
Thank you Julie for the appreciation you have expressed about yourself, made possible through your relationship with Serge Benhayon. He is complete in his understanding of the human condition and its temporal existence. Your sharing is an opportunity to stop and truly appreciate this human being, who knows human life like no other.
Gorgeous sharing Julie thank you. I full-heartedly agree Serge Benhayon is a man like no other in that his consistency of love shown and care given to all is unparalleled. He is the living example of what is possible for each and every one of us.
Same here Rosanna.
Once you have the perspective and have felt the difference of life with even the beginnings of energetic awareness – there is nowhere else to go as the whole word has changed.
This statement is powerful “from these observations and from questions I had asked Serge Benhayon over the years, I grew to learn that being in a family was not about controlling and imposing on my children, to be and become all that I would like them to be, but rather to show love and care towards myself, then this would happen naturally in the family, as they could accept and be themselves”. This literally changes everything as it brings the responsibility back to how we are living and how we are treating ourselves. As Serge Benhayon has said many times “true medicine is the way we live”.
So true Julie, and I am very grateful to Serge Benhayon for sharing all he has with us. ‘This is down to one man who has simply, openly shared and presented how he lives his life, all of which makes sense, and he has never watered this down in fear of how it might upset another. ‘
And this is what is life changing for so many – learning how to treat our bodies with care. Now it seems ridiculous we are not taught this and have our parents, friends and or teachers in our lives living this way as the only way, it should be the most natural thing in the world as most people look after their cars and pets really well yet why oh why not our own bodies? As you say thank goodness Serge Benhayon has brought this simplicity to many people by being being a leading example.
It is powerful and shocking to understand that we don’t care for our bodies. For me this is because I have spent so much of my life responding to what is external to me and as you say Julie, not caring for me! I was never taught how very important this is and even if I was, I wonder if, until I met Serge Benhayon, would I have heeded any other self care information. I doubt it, because it would come as an instruction, not from the deep understanding of self regard and self love. The extension of this is even more important. Our care for our bodies allows us to then offer that care to others…
To hear Serge present the energetic truth has been life changing for me also Julie. Not only in an education and understanding of life and what life is all about – but life changing in that this education has brought about changes I have very naturally made: in my diet, sleep patterns, the way I relate to people, the way I work, the way I look after myself and care for others. The quality of life has changed and I can see changes also in others around me, the effects from what Serge presents has everlasting ripples outwards.
This is a good point made here Rosanna when you say ‘..this education has brought about changes I have very naturally made..” as the difference for me in making the changes and sustaining them is they are natural and no trying is needed in order to achieve something e.g. to loose weight or look a certain way. It is more asking the question “why wouldn’t I want to live in a caring and loving way?” So once we are open to this the rest unfolds and over time becomes normal and natural.
Julie your blog like many others is a testament of how we can all live if we choose to make life about looking after ourselves first so we have an enormous capacity to support others. Taking the time to deeply appreciate this and what has been shown through the work of Serge Benhayon is paramount.
I couldnt agree more Mary, when you say “there is no one, certainly not Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, cajoling or pressurizing me to get ‘it’.” I also have never felt any pressure whatsoever to make choices I did not want to make from anyone, and if I had I would have not continued to go to presentations, workshops or to see practioners whose work is inspired by Serge. I simply know that by listening and pondering on what I’ve heard for myself, and then making small changes to my life because I wanted to make them, I now live my life as a woman in her mid fifties, working harder, feeling healthier and looking younger than I did 10 years ago! Thankyou Serge Benhayon.
You are without question Sandra an inspiration to all women across the world. It is simple really looking back and making simple adjustments to a life that very much needed it and to know that Serge Benhayon simply reflects a way that he has found that works and wants to share with the world and also deeply inspiring.
What you have shared Julie is deeply inspiring. I too know Serge Benhayon and have been met with the exact same consistent love ever since I first met him. Never have I been treated any other way than with the deepest respect and integrity from this truly amazingly wise man, and like you, I also had a strong aversion to western medicine until I was introduced to the possibility by Serge that it did have a place, and a very important one at that.
Serge simply presented that conventional medicine did in fact have a very important place along side true complementary medicine. Bit by bit I began to realise that the two could and do work beautifully alongside each other, and have the potential to bring about the most beautiful healing, as you Julie have just described. Thankyou for sharing your experience.
There is so much to love about the changes you have made Julie. The central tenet that felt clear to me throughout reading your story was that it was what you saw Serge do, how he treated himself, his family and you that made such a great impression. That is the greatest way to learn and evolve, through inspiration.
The conclusion is so beautiful because I feel how real your life has become; a real life lived in service to community. That is worth celebrating.
I love the central tenet you’ve picked out here Rachel, this was exactly my experience, observing Serge, the way he moved and spoke with people, it was incredibly inspiring. The way he is re-minded me of something I had forgotten I was capable of… and the learning goes on.
The way Serge Benhayon lives is a huge inspiration to me too and I know also to many others. He truly is someone who walks the talk, there are no empty words or presentations, everything he presents is something that he has lived and does so with everyday, practical, engaged with life, consistency.
This is key Fiona and something I had not experienced in any other teachers or presenters “…everything he presents is something that he has lived and does so with everyday, practical, engaged with life, consistency.”
His body then shines this out to anyone he interacts with whether spoken to or not. It is incredible how this way can then support others to make changes in their choices and this is how slowly we can all change. 🙂
I too love the paragraph you have picked Mary. It so beautifully expresses how I have felt Serge Benhayon in my life. Not only has this provided a huge support in my returning to a connection, appreciation and honouring of my inner essence, but it has also provided a deep understanding about how we can each provide care for and support one another through life.
What you say here, Mary is something I have come to see also that any time I have walked away it is simply me turning away from me and the next choices to make but at that time am not willing to let myself see, feel and or accept anything different than the dilemma I am in. What Serge Benhayon does though is never, ever waiver from or not express what he feels and connects to in each and every person he meets. This is remarkable and unique so thank goodness the same quality is always presented so the changes can happen at some point.
Yes I can fully agree Mary, I have never felt anyone pressuring me to ‘ get it ‘ either.
I notice that I feel very relaxed by the way in which Serge presents to us on the ageless wisdom. It’s very accessible – I have seen everyone be able to hear what he presents so simply. To me this is the sign of true genius, simplicity.
I agree Felicity – I have never felt pressured to ‘get it’ or conform to what Serge Benhayon says re ancient wisdom. I love the way Serge accepts us all equally, and allows us to come to our own truth in our own time. No imposing or controlling. He presents truth from his essence in such simplicity. He understands where humanity is at and what is needed for us all to evolve, for everyone’s benefit.
What a fantastic testimonial. So many things to say, one that stands out is that Serge Benhayon offers a space for us to feel that we can live in another way without the pressure to be anything other than who we are – this is huge and rare and for those who meet him it’s such a gift, and then it ripples out from there as each person who does can then offer the same to another. A second thing that struck me with your personal experience here Julie is how we often get caught with being identified by something, a disease, a job, a role, and we forget what we are innately first, a woman, and approach things from the job etc., and reading this I’ve just realised that recently my approach to work has been about the job first, not me as a woman first. Good reminder.
Leighstrack, I too am touched by exquisiteness we hold within us as women. My body gives me a big cheer when I make honouring choices and equally stands by me and reminds me when I haven’t. I love the depth of relationship our body offers us.
Hi Julie, the basic things for me which I draw from your article and which I can confirm are
– Conventional Medicine and Esoteric Medicine work hand in hand. The first treats the bodily symptoms, the latter the energetic root causes. This is the truest form of healing as it is all-encompassing.
– our body is the marker of our daily choices. It reflects to us constantly what is supportive or what brings disharmony. If we do not listen, this may end in illness and disease on a physical or psychical level.
– Serge Benhayon introduced the aspect of self-care and self-love on a daily basis and how this has a determined influence on our health and vitality. His immense love for each person and humanity at all is deeply felt in his treatments, his care and regard for everyone. This is backed up by his own universal way of living.
What you share here is phenomenal jsnelgrove36, a credit to yourself and Serge Benhayon, and explains why Universal Medicine have just won the People’s Choice Award at the Lismore Business Excellence Awards for the second year in a row. The deep support, care and love given by members of this company go beyond what I have ever experienced in my life prior to meeting them. A huge thank you to Universal Medicine for showing us a different and much needed way.
Absolutely Lorraine. Because of the care and support of Universal Medicine I am more claimed than I have ever been. My self worth and health are strong, and honestly I can’t remember the last time I felt ill. Universal Medicine deserves a billion accolades!
I have found myself with a few small illnesses nothing as big as cancer, but I too have had to go to conventional medicine and look at the reason behind it happening. It shows how no matter how big the illness is you need to look at both, conventional medicine, if needed, and the true reason behind it.
There is a good point here, Ben because I wonder if we could get to the stage that if we are willing to truly see what our body is telling us with the small illnesses we don’t have to experience the bigger stuff, as in hindsight my body had given me many many signs for years that something was not ok before I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer.
I also wonder if humanity could get to the point that we could we could foresee our illnesses because of our actions. How we can see what day to day choices we make that create the illness. Also with what you are saying jsnelgrove36 that if we can learn from the small stuff before it blows up into something like cancer. Surely the numbers for obesity, cancer, and many more big time illnesses will decrease if we take responsibility and change the oblivious attitude we have to the small problems.
I fully agree and really love all the points you are making here about how we define and respond to what we call illnesses and disease.
You raise a really important question here Julie. I too wonder how the health of humaity would change if we paid much more attention to those little signs and signals that are telling us something isn’t right in our bodies, and seek medical advice there and then rather than wiating until it is a much more difficult and much bigger and possibly life threatening thing to treat.
As Michelle has shared I also really love this discussion about health. That with any ailment or dis-ease, as Ben Green has shared, we need to work with both conventional medicine and be willing to see the true reason ‘energetic reason’ why we have this in the first place. Also to not ignore the so called ‘minor’ ailments as it is the body saying something is not right .. if these are not ignored in the beginning then could it be that this could prevent more serious dis-eases such as cancer or diabetes? Absolutely.
Thank you – this has allowed me to realise more, all that Serge Benhayon has done and continues to live – and to appreciate all of him in full. Joyful responsibility in parenthood is the way to go – the ‘self sacrificial’ drive in truth, negatively affects us all.
Serge Benhayon will support anyone who’s asks for help. He manages to do this, not by carrying us but by holding us in a Love where we can see out of the fog and help ourselves. I know no-one else who will do that for everyone.
This is exquisite Julie, for in it I can feel the love that we all equally are and the truth offered, expressed and shared by Serge Benhayon. He truly has shown it is possible to live another way and through his love inspires so many to choose that love as a way of living. Just beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful Julie, I am deeply touched by your re-discovery of conventional medicine and how you worked with it and Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. Yours is the greatest testimonial (read support) for all women going through breast cancer, a particularly debilitating disease on many levels. I am mostly inspired by how loving, understanding and practical you were along the way.
I would agree Terri-Anne, as this is a amazing testimonial for all women going through breast cancer. Now having known a few women whom are been through this disease, it has become clear that the collaboration of both Conventional Medicine and Complementary Medicine are key to really making a great recovery and then bringing those learnings into a daily rhythm there after.
I agree Terri-anne and Amina. Julie, your willingness to address those areas of your life that you were so detached from is deeply inspiring. To have been able to turn your understanding and appreciation for conventional medicine around to something that you could truly embrace, alongside the unwavering support of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, is a great testament to the two modalities working together. And not only that, but to then integrate this understanding and what you have learnt into your daily life. This is something worth sharing with women who are going through the same thing.
Such a beautiful sharing with us Julie and one that so many of us can relate too. Serge Benhayon I feel has always presented to us all exactly the same unconditional love and leads by example of living in a way that is completely about love and of love. Such an inspiration for us to all to continue to “learn and develop more” ourselves. It became very clear to me that to self care in my daily way of living that if an illness/disease pays a visit that, with the help of conventional medicine it can support us and be a part of our healing process.
This has also been my experience Marion. Like Julie I went down the ‘Alternative’ path. Serge Benhayon has brought openness, truth and honesty to self care. I now listen to my body and support it with conventional medicine in any treatments that are to take place.
This is a beautiful blog, thank you Julie. To be so inspired to make these changes in your life and to feel how it has impacted on your family is impressive – and simply starting with attention and care for yourself. I remember you sharing once, many years ago, that you were not going to be available to your children 24/7 any more and you were going to say no to them if they wanted to come in when you were showering or in the bathroom. This made a big impact on me at the time and enabled me, by feeling into my own needs, to put more healthy boundaries in place for myself.
Through his own respect for medicine Serge Benhayon has taught me to deeply respect conventional medicine. Taking care of myself now includes going to the doctors for check ups even when I am not sick, and when I do become unwell I appreciate spending time with professionals who have dedicated themselves in their careers to supporting and caring for people like myself. Had it not been for Universal Medicine I do believe I would not value conventional medicine the way I do now.
This is a good point Abby you make here “I appreciate spending time with professionals who have dedicated themselves in their careers to supporting and caring for people like myself”. As I too came to enjoy and appreciate these people and am inspired by their dedication and always learn something from them. They have so much to offer if their work is valued for what it is, knowing there are limitations and with no expectation of a quick fix. I also know I would not see the role of conventional medicine in this way without having met Serge Benhayon.
Serge Benhayon must be one of the most amazing people I have ever met. In fact I have not met anyone quite like him. He has the wisdom of man who has lived a thousand lives.
You can take any aspect of true living and realise how incredibly different it is to what the normal standard in society is. For example before Serge Benhayon’s presentations of Relationships I considered that a relationship was something you had with someone you were attracted to and would sleep with. A very limited view perhaps. Now I understand that we are always in relationship with everyone. That changes everything instantly. Just one thing that allows me to bring a far greater quality to everything throughout my day.
I was always pro conventional medicine but knew there was something more to be done, I just didn’t know where to find it. When I listened to alternative practitioners I was concerned when they would suggest turning away from the conventional. When I met Serge Benhayon and felt I had found something that really made sense in so many ways, I was relieved that he was working alongside conventional methods of medicine as well. There is no going back to the old way of going to the doctor for all the answers, however there is a new way of working with practitioners of conventional medicine and Universal Medicine and deeply considering what is best for me.
One of the most beautiful things that Serge presented was the fact that we are all the same, the only difference is our life choices that are different. The quality and love that is possible, which is constantly present and shown by Serge is available if we choose it too.
I absolutely agree with your comment Matthew. It’s all about choices. Serge is just showing us how to live in a way that is based on truth, we are all the same.
Julie what you have presented here is profound. I too put my hand up and say that my life has completely changed since I met Serge Benhayon. I did not have a serious illness at the time I first met him, and considered myself reasonably healthy, but my vitality was extremely low and my life was an emotional mess. I have been regularly attending presentations and workshops held by Serge for years now, and as a result have been inspired to take deep and loving care of my body. This includes seeking medical support as it is needed. My life and my relationships with my family and others have been enriched beyond measure by making changes inspired by what I have learned, and most importantly, but developing a truer relationship with myself.
What you have shared with us Julie is an extraordinary change in the way you live, feel about yourself, feel about medicine….Extraordinary and yet more and more this is becoming ordinary for many people who have chosen to make loving changes in life thanks to Serge Benhayon. It’s been said before – he is extraordinarily ordinary. Extraordinary IS the new ordinary.
Julie it’s so gorgeous to read your appreciation of both yourself and an amazing man, that is one huge transformation you have made and it is very inspiring. Plus your title speaks for so many people – Serge Benhayon has definitely touched many, many peoples lives.
Thanks Julie, a very inspiring read with much I can relate to in it. As a trained Naturopath and Acupuncturist an anti-medical bias was insidiously instilled within the courses. That included negativity around anything involving drugs, vaccination and most definitely chemotherapy. Surgery was afforded a reluctant but necessary status as an occasional valid intervention.
So when I came across Serge Benhayon and his teachings of the Ancient Wisdom, I was completely taken aback to hear him talk so openly and positively of the merits and benefits of medicine, and it was the first time I began to understand what it meant to work complementary TO medicine, rather than providing an alternative to it. Your blog is a beautiful example of the complementary nature of the Esoteric approach as taught through Universal Medicine, allowing you to take responsibility for the body you then offer conventional medicine for its part.
Hi Julie, a lovely sharing, I like how you do not identify yourself with the illness, it is something that is happening to your body but it is not who you are, ‘that I was not the disease but rather me as a woman first’. You then go on to build a loving, caring and respectful way of treating yourself now knowing that is what you deserve, beautiful.
Self responsibility, as In now understand it, is a key part to our health and our healing. There is a lot to offer when combining this with western medicine, and appreciating that in order to truly heal it comes from the whole self rather than just taking medicine or following orders. I have found that there must be a willingness to look at why I am sick in the first place, in order to truly heal. Julie – you are a walking example of this.
Wow Julie. You have brought to the table another amazing example of someone who has started with themselves and made changes to how they are living. There is no blame here for your past circumstances, only self responsibility, which I find so refreshing and inspiring.
Thank you for stating so clearly that it is because you chose to listen to Serge Benhayon and be open to what he has to say that everything changed for you. The possibility for so many others to help themselves too is endless.
What a awesome blog on how you have turned your life around. Serge Benhayon is a man who has inspired many all over the world… including me. He is an awesome role model in how he lives and the man that he is.
It’s so cool how you’re living you life now. I agree with you….Serge Benhayon is an awesome role model in the way he lives and the man that he is. Inspiring many people all over the world to make changes in how we treat ourselves and regard our bodies.
Thank you Julie for sharing this inspiring blog and the way you have transformed you and your families life through the living way Serge Benhayon and his family present every day in how they live.
‘One man has changed everything’ that is a bold statement and one I absolutely concur with. For me the greatest shifts in my life have come from adopting what Serge Benhayon presents about personal responsibility for all the choices I make in every moment and for every affect, big or small that these have on myself and others. This is a no brainer when written like this, many people know this and would agree but the game changer is that because Serge Benhayon lives by this principle with the utmost integrity it inspires others to not just know it, not just talk about it but to live it also. This is remarkable, he is remarkable and so am I for choosing this as my way too. I do not always get it right, but when I get it wrong and harm is caused, I know why and who is responsible for it – me, I am responsible and this is exceedingly empowering. Thanks Serge Benhayon.
“My life and the responsibility I take in it towards myself, my choices, my family, friends and work is unrecognisable from how life used to be. I have also witnessed this for many, many other people I know”. I so agree Julie. My life to is unrecognisable from pre-Universal Medicine days too. My health is much improved due to the choices I made. Such a great blog to share with everyone – thank you.
There are many other stories like yours Julie including mine where there has been a shift in understanding and responsibility towards maintaining an individual’s health and hearing Serge present on self love and nurturing is a key part of this as well at the truly complementary way in which the Sacred Esoteric Healing modalities work with Allopathic medicine.
Thank you for sharing this Julie. Such an amazing turnaround in your life and all this while undergoing treatment for breast cancer. I love that Serge Benhayon presents what he lives. It is not some theory that may work in some utopian society, but real, tangible and practical ways that he goes about his life everyday.
Yes well said Lee, Serge Benhayon sets a very high standard when it comes to walking your talk, but through this provides an unprecedented inspiration for thousands worldwide to make these sort of extraordinary changes.
“When I first met Serge Benhayon I heard him talk and be very positive about conventional medicine – something I had never come across ever in any complementary therapy presentation.” This is one of the things I love about Serge and Universal Medicine, they don’t bash conventional medicine. I work in healthcare and know that we don’t have all the answers, but conventional medicine is pretty good at treating most diseases. I love that the approach from Universal Medicine supports conventional medicine but adds a further depth to our understanding and healing.
Absolutely true Lee, coming from the ‘alternative health’ field it was so refreshing to be given the understanding and encouragement to embrace conventional medicine with all it has to offer. Since then I have come across countless medical professionals who are deeply caring and dedicated to the best and proper care of their patients, and many who have embraced what Universal Medicine offers as complementary to their care. The marriage of the two cannot be doubted when one looks at examples such as Julie has outlined.
Serge Benhayon is lovely. He doesn’t sell anything, does not push one way of thinking or another, does not seek recognition. he does not judge people, he doesn’t think is he better than anyone, he doesn’t present a way of living and then behind closed doors live another way. I have never met anyone like him. He has met me many times holding more love for me than I do myself. He is dedicated and committed in his life to truth and presenting truth to others allowing the veil of illusion to fall away so others can start to claim who they truly are. He is indeed a World Teacher.
Well said Vicky. When I first attended a Universal Medicine event nearly 9 years ago now, one of the first things I noticed was there was no marketing hype or sales pitch what so ever – no piles of books lined up with some big book signing. This for me was unusual as I have attended seminars and presentations many times and there was always something that was pushed towards me – the up and coming book, CD or course to buy. I knew straight away, this is a man with integrity, completely genuine and loving towards people. I also noticed that his absolute integrity, love and respect towards everyone was equal – he treated everyone the same. This too I found unusual as in gatherings that I have experienced there would always be someone or group treated differently, higher up in the popularity stakes etc. It was only after one meeting with Serge that I knew this was someone who was there 100% for people and I could trust him absolutely. I have never met anyone like Serge. In the time I have known him he has always been there to support, understand and provide clarity when needed. He is a World Teacher and a great gift to Humanity.
It is very revealing when you talk about food choices and other substances we can ingest (or so they say) as bringing relief from and comfort to the lousy choices we are making in life – food has indeed become so much more than nourishment for the body, it is the ubiquitous dummy (= temporary pacifier) for all ages, always ready to be sucked on.
Well said Julie, a remarkable story and another extraordinary turn around inspired by the exceptional care and second to none level of service Serge Benhayon lives and shares freely.
Julie this is a great blog to re-visit. You are an inspiration for the sharing all the different choices that have supported you and your own wellbeing from the Ancient Wisdom Teachings Serge Benhayon presents.
I appreciate the very beautiful woman you are.
Julie I can relate to what you share here in terms of email contact and support from Serge- he is the most supportive and wise man I know, always supportive of medical treatment and never undermines western medicine. His wisdom is so profound and so loving, that it’s impossible for me to conclude anything other than my own worthiness of receiving such love.
Julie, your words unfold on the page to reveal a tender, generous, open heart. Healing so much more than breast cancer, thank you for sharing your story. On Serge Benhayon, as you say one man, through the inspiration of his truly loving, living ways, has touched the hearts of so many so deeply and profoundly that life has taken on a whole new meaning and is never the same again. “His way is unimposing and is only ever loving, which means I have chosen to make changes for myself in my own time with no sense of pressure.” How grace-full to recognise a World Teacher when he is among us.
Barbara what comes through in your sharing to me is that not only has one man changed everything. That I completely agree with and something that has had more of a profound effect on my life than I could have ever consider. But that the way Serge Benhayon has changed everything is as Julie shared completely unimposing and absolutely loving. With the way he’s changed everything its through inspiration and allowing me to also come to my own understanding. What is shared I feel is my truth – that’s a powerful way to live, changing everything through true inspiration.
“In using conventional medicine and then feeling supported to look deeper within me, I have had an extremely positive experience with a life threatening disease.” It’s astonishing to hear these words in the same sentence Julie, there is not an ounce of victimisation in your words, simply an honest, judgement-free acknowledgement of how you were living and an inspired commitment to change. As you say, Serge Benhayon met you as Julie, a tender, loving woman, not as the disease itself, enabling you to build on the part of you that you had been side lining for so long, a way commandeered by so many mothers today, myself included.
What your comment brings to light, Lucinda is that many women are subscribing to being a mother before they are a woman first. It is an easier label to identify with and one that brought me recognition because I had entered this phase of my life with no my relationship with myself as a woman first and very little connection to my body thus was easily able to make choices that did not support me all under the umbrella of ‘ ‘doing’ what was best for the children’. When I look back on this it is obvious that our health is going to be compromised and equally how true then is the quality of our relationship with our family? With the reflection of Serge Benhayon and his family I am continuously learning the importance of the quality of my relationships with myself and others and how I live being the only way to develop and grow.
I have never met anyone like Serge, at all. He is one of a kind but no different to anyone. Thank you for sharing how your life has changed since you have met Serge and living in the way that he presents. This is such a powerful story for all.
It is inspiring to hear about how you turned your life around. So many people have done this, including myself, with the patient support of Serge Benhayon and other Universal Medicine practitioners. Now that we know and live another way, it seems obvious and simple – and it is. But the way that generations impart lifestyles of disregard is very deeply entrenched in our collective psyche, that to live so simply is seemingly as complex as rocket science. But the map is inside us and Serge has shared with us how to read it again.
Serge Benhayon has a remarkable way of supporting people to know that they are worth loving and taking care of without actually saying so. In my communications with Serge this is exactly my experience and as a result of these interactions and work with Universal Medicine Practitioners I can feel my self-worth blossoming and as a result am taking much more care of myself as I see the positive impact this has on my mood, general well-being, energy levels and in my relationships with others.
Julie, I am blown away by the extent at which you have turned your life around and made changes that are practical, yet have made such a huge difference to how you live in every way. This is a miracle, and one that is within all of us.
There is much to be gained for making more loving choices and listening to our bodies. What you share here shows the power in that, and can be seen by the vitality you now live with, and inspire in others.
This is what stood out to me too Julie when I first met Serge Benhayon. He was (and continues to be) very positive about conventional medicine and works along side them when ever possible. This was a very new way for me to witness as I had been involved in other complementary therapies and none had recommended conventional medicine and often they would poo, poo it and say ‘we have the answers, medicine does not.’ .Never once has Serge done this and this attitude supported me to trust in conventional medicine again and I have since reaped the benefits of both medicines for recent conditions.
Serge Benhayon has changed my life forever and I am deeply appreciative that he had the vision and the heart to go down this path. When I first met Serge 11 years ago I was an absolute mess with very little self worth. I thought I knew what love was but really I had no clue. I remember feeling the out-pouring of love for me, from a man who wanted nothing from me. An everlasting marker that has forever imprinted on my tender heart. He has always treated me with immense love, respect and in honour of the woman I am.
“…the way I approached breast cancer, in that it wasn’t something to ‘just get through’ but an opportunity to stop and reflect on how I was living in every area of my life”. I love this quote Julie. So often people fight or battle or try to beat an illness or disease, particularly cancer, rather than taking the opportunity to reflect and examine their life and see the illness as another part of it. Something that can be treated with the same love and care that we can treat all aspects of our life with. Thank you for sharing your experience.
What a beautiful account, thank you for writing this Julie. Feeling what you shared and my own experience, I feel it is the quality of presence and equalness with which Serge Benhayon shares his lived experience that brings the greatest healing. He lives it all and displays how simple it can be to care deeply and truly for ourselves. And as you say, his actions carry no need for recognition or to fulfill any personal agenda, which is otherwise a very rare thing indeed. Your story is inspirational and amazing that you can now offer your support to others facing the same or similar crisis.
This is such a great article. My life also has changed beyond words since I met Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon. What struck me most about first meeting Serge was his complete understanding of what was going in with myself and life in general. Having this enabled me to see life in a totally different way and choose differently – even to know there was a different choice was a huge step. I learnt that it is about energy first and then how this plays out in life – something we are never taught, but it is key to everything.
You have indeed embraced the true meaning of self-care Julie, by exploring the quality in which you live your life and the choices you make on an everyday basis.This is also what I have found Serge Benhayon has shared so openly and honestly, what true love, care and respect for self and others is.
Julie, great blog, I love the distinction you make in knowing that you are a woman first and not a disease, and that applies everywhere, we are women first and not any roles, jobs, illnesses we may have – we address each area of our lives as we need to but can do so knowing we are women first.
That is beautifully expressed Monica – we are indeed deliciously divine and that never changes no matter what comes our way to be addressed.
This a great point Monica how we are a woman first in any area of our lives.
Julie, your comment about feeling you were worth looking after struck a chord with me. In the past my approach to feeling it was worth looking after myself was taken from a very functional and narrow perspective, e.g. exercising, so I had a moderate level of fitness and didn’t get sick.
When I started to attend Universal Medicine and learn about self care, I was confronted with just how far from the true meaning of self worth and self care my behaviour was. The more I surrender all my old beliefs around self worth and self care the more I appreciate my true self worth.
Your life really does sound like it has changed. I really connected with the part about Serge’s children all relating together with a deep love, care and respect for each other. As young adults this is really hardly ever seen. As people grow that get to learn and experience respect and care and love but the way you describe Serge’s children for me felt like you were talking about a very deep sense of love, care and respect. One that is almost sacred.
How much my life has changed since I met Serge Benhayon, who unconditionally provides a loving support to allow me to be the true me, his encouragement and inspiration allows me to connect to my true essence, the person I know I am inside. He has shown me how to support my own healing and live a healthy life. He has taught me many tools to create a healthy rhythm in my day. It is endless what Serge has and continuous to provided. Serge just lovingly shares his Livingness with us all, and in doing so inspires us all, all of the time. His love is so open and and unconditional.
Yes Adam, Serge Benhyon was the first to make me aware how much my choices affect me, my body, but also the whole. Being responsible, not just for myself, gave a deeper meaning to my life, a meaning I have always known it had but could never truly grasp. Coming back to a higher level of (self)responsibility has and still is challenging at times but I would not want to walk away from it again ever.
A beautiful and honest account of your transformation Julie, thankyou. The “love,care and sense of self worth” you mention are tangible in your writing, and how great that you can bring those amazing qualities into all your different workplaces.
Universal Medicine simply asks us to consider everything as a whole, and as part of that whole it asks us to look at our own life as simply the summation of our choices. Life is not accidental, and yet we are taught and encouraged to see it this way. Universal Medicine teaches self-responsibilty, and this of course is very confronting and controversial for a society that is forever determined to find someone to blame for its predicament.
Absolutely Adam. What Universal Medicine presents is so simple yet so profound, it challenges us to take responsibility for our lives. This can be very confronting when we accept that there is no one to blame.
Exactly Adam. And for those who are ready for it, I say bring it on in full! Even though at times confronting, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Well said Adam. Society promotes avoiding responsibility for our choices and to be at the mercy of life and to see everything as happening to us – the blame game runs rife.
This then allows for a society of disempowered people. Self- responsibility is sure to cause a tremor if not an earthquake for it rocks the comfort of thinking we can do whatever we like at the expense of ourselves and others without repercussion and the ignorance that keeps us playing the game.
Awesome to re-read your account of how you have made so many life style choices, simply by taking care of you first, which has transformed you and all your relationships. The title says it all really for you, for myself and for the thousands of others from all around the globe who continually return for the courses and presentations of Serge Benhayon – for his teachings when lived indeed transform our lives and all our relationships, and I for one have certainly changed, grown and evolved in the short space of 4 years…..and travel a lot lighter in my body.
Well said jacqmcfadden04, and Serge Benhayon is a living example of what we all can live like if we so choose to claim that level of love and responsibility for ourselves.
Julie, I was opposed to Western Medicine before I had breast cancer, but in hindsight I am deeply grateful for what Western Medicine offers, it probably saved my life. Serge Benhayon is pro medicine and will always encourage people to seek medical advice when it is needed. What Serge Benhayon offers is adjunct to Western Medicine, an opportunity to look at how we have been living and the choices that we have been making that have led to the illness in the first place. By taking self-responsibility we can then truly heal, however always knowing that Western Medicine has its part in the healing process as well.
I completely agree Donna. Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon are the only truly complementary treatments that I have found. Most other modalities on offer are an alternative to conventional medicine and have a distrust of conventional medicine. Serge Benhayon constantly says how pro-medicine he is and backs this up with his actions and treatments that support conventional medicine.
I so agree with your comment here Donna… I have not had breast cancer but like Julie was vehemently opposed to western medicine for many many years. What I have learnt through the true role model that Serge Benhayon is, is a respect and appreciation for western medicine which has come about as a result of an awareness of taking responsibility for my choices and the way I am living. I have now experienced how western medicine working together with esoteric medicine enables true healing.
Thanks Julie another amazing example of someone who has been inspired to connect to an understanding of themselves and life itself from meeting Serge Benhayon and making healthier life choices.
This is beautiful Julie and such a deserved tribute to both yourself and Serge Benhayon.
The world is being shown the real gift and love that Serge Benhayon is inspiring us with and leading the way by his very livingness and the role model he and his family are. Beautifully expressed and your sharing is invaluable by example and shows our choices clearly. Thank you for sharing this.
I agree Tricia, this is indeed a beautiful article presented by Julie, with I found, much depth of feeling and wisdom held within. I also have had appointments with Serge Benhayon and most of the family in a Practitioner/client capacity also at the Universal Medicine Clinic and continue to appreciate the depth of true caring for humanity that the entire Benhayon family have and who all, without exception, share that deep love abundantly.
Beautifully said Tricia and Roberta, a blog which gives us a gift of true livingness shown by Julie inspired by all the Benhayons.
Roberta I also, ‘continue to appreciate the depth of true caring for humanity that the entire Benhayon family have and who all, without exception, share that deep love abundantly.’ How the Benhayon family are is not only amazing, inspirational, but also world changing more than can really be appreciated. Their love and power is magnanimous.
I agree Tricia, what Julie has shared is invaluable in it’s inspiration and empowering how it shows the change we can make in our lives and that of those around us if we so choose.
Beautiful Julie, thank you for sharing the shift you have made inspired by Serge Benhayon. I so value what he teaches us too with no judgement on where we are at and what we choose or have chosen.
Julie, Serge Benhayon is my role model of how to live also. It’s taking time to unravel and free myself from my old patterns and ‘recover’ from old choices but I want to live like he does, loving myself and all others completely and equally with absolute consistency.
I love this Jeanette how you say “it’s taking time to unravel and free yourself…”as this is true but well worth it to evolve to a life of a deep love for self and others and such a great support to be held always in love with absolutely no judgement during this process. Thank you for the reminder.
Julie that is what struck me about your writing and last sentence that you are willing to keep growing, unfolding, and that is also something Serge lives and inspires that there is a way to live that is forever unfolding and infinitely grander. My life is unrecognisable to where it was 5 or 10 years ago, even a year ago!
Yes Jeannette Serge Benhayon inspires me everyday to continue to unravel and free myself from old patterns and for that I am forever grateful. I love and appreciate how far I have come and enjoy unravelling more and more as I continue to learn on this journey called life.
Vanessa, my life too is unrecognisable from where it was 5 or 10 years ago or even a year ago. Such are the profound but simple teachings offered by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine that if any-one of us take them onboard and choose to run with them then our lives transform very quickly, like yours and mine and thousands of other people who have attended the presentations and courses.
Serge Benhayon must be one of the first people to offer such true advice with no judgement or critique, just understanding and love. Serge’s Livingness show just how powerful living this with others can be.
Hear hear Joshua, Serge Benhayon’s level of love and understanding is one of a kind and for him to show us that it is there for us equally if we so choose it has given me back a trust in myself and the world.
That’s exactly is Joshua, true advice, and it’s rare, and wonderful to receive, and inspires in us to be that with others, and that’s true change.
I agree with your words Joshua, that has been my experience also, that Serge Benhayon has been for me, the first person who I totally felt met by at a deeper than surface level – with the depth and wisdom of the ages and no evidence of judgment or expectations. I have found as I have explored being a student of the Way of the Livingness that this way has shown me choices that offers deeper meaning and true purpose to my life.
Beautifully said Roberta
Yes Serge Benhayon has that incredible finely tuned understanding of people and where they are at, I have seen how he is with kids and old people, just the same opens and friendliness and deep sincere care for all. This is a rare sight, but it’s so needed, and Serge shows the way we can all develop this love for ourselves and then it naturally is there for all others.
It is rare to see someone so consistent with everyone like Serge Benhayon is, yet it should be normal, as this is simply a most natural way of being.
Serge Benhayon has well and truly changed everything and the more people who have exposure to him the better it will be
I love the title of your blog ‘Serge Benhayon- one man has changed everything’. So true. Amazing to feel the level of support he offers and the healing this then inspires in people’s lives. Through the inspiration of what Serge and his family live- it inspires true change in many others.
Thank you for sharing so openly how your life has changed through one man’s steadfastness and unwavering support and commitment to humanity. Serge Benhayon is indeed true charity and true love personified, and he lives daily what we can all live if we but choose it so.
Through one man thousands of lives have changed and what I am currently feeling inspired by is that that quality of life that he lives is, as he has always said from day one, equally within me. As you’ve shared Julie, Serge has not changed your life for you, you have done that, he has just provided the template and the ‘how to’ guide. For me Serge and the student body have shown me how no matter what we’ve done or where we’ve come from we have the power of choice to be the love that we are. Even if those choices may appear or feel painful, awkward or we would rather walk over coals than choose, those reactions are only because we would have to feel that we knew we have had this choice all along. But once over that little ‘oops’, making those choices to be more loving towards ourselves become our best friends and our rocks in life.
What an amazing turnaround in a life. These are the stories of true reclaiming that need to be heard again and again, so that the truth of what Serge Benhayon is presenting and bring to this world can be heard.
True medicine in every sense of the word. What you share here is a gift we can all give ourselves, and what hundreds of people have experienced through simply changing their lives and their rhythms.
Serge Benhayon really does inspire responsibility, and it’s responsibility of how we choose to live. He instructs no one but simply shows others that we are all responsible for our choices and ultimately it is those choices that determine the quality of our life.
The wisdom coming from Serge does not come from his head – from knowledge he has absorbed and can churn out. The number of people who have found that wisdom truly practical in their lives, such as Julie in this blog, in their own unique ways, indicates very clearly that Serge is connected to a source of wisdom and love that embraces all equally and lives it in his own unique way in his body, to the extent that it will always speak to a person from what is needed at that time for them. All that one needs to do is be open to it and drop any suspicion for a while and try it on for oneself, for it to allow great change into one’s life.
Serge Benhayon certainly has changed everything and he has inspired so many people in the world to change their lives and live with true responsibility care and love in their lives and hence their health and well being. This is true medicine at its core.
The support of Serge Benhayon is always there, he is such an amazing inspiration letting everybody in without any judgement, only understanding.
Before I met Serge Benhayon I was chronically tired, depressed, suffered from hypoglycaemia, in nervous energy all the time, hypersensitive and very reactive and moody. I was searching for truth going from Guru to Guru. It was not until I met Serge that my understanding of life and the purpose of why we are here became clearer.
Serge has definitely changed so many peoples’ lives, including my own.
What was truly profound was reconnecting to my body – as I had never been fully in my body – and connecting to my inner heart, with the gentle breath meditation.
From here truth is felt and wisdom known. All his talks have made so much sense.
He has never put himself on a pedestal, but treats everyone as equals with so much love and respect. I am deeply grateful and appreciative to him for bringing absolute truth to humanity.
Having Serge as a friend is indeed a game-changer. The support you have described here is the support on offer for any person should they need it – and that is from the smallest of ‘issues’ to support through something as big as a cancer diagnosis. Indeed the equality felt from Serge is a hallmark, as nowhere else have I felt someone who truly sees all as equals. This truly is amazing.
Beautifully said Amelia, Serge shows us, amongst so many other things, true friendship and support.
I also agree Amelia, “Indeed the equality felt from Serge is a hallmark, as nowhere else have I felt someone who truly sees all as equals. This truly is amazing.” He sets the bar of life to a whole new level… and one to which I could probably say the whole of humanity is aching for.
Julie I keep returning to your post as the title is so apt and keeps expanding each day. To explain each day my life is filled with the absolute blessing of love. Yet the next day even more things unfold and a greater depth appears. I can say with absolute truth that everything in my life has changed as a result of meeting Serge Benhayon and for that I am deeply grateful.
“When I first met Serge Benhayon I heard him talk and be very positive about conventional medicine – something I had never come across ever in any complementary therapy presentation”. This was my experience also Julie. Prior to meeting Serge I was very critical of conventional medicine having had several illnesses including life threatening cancer. In researching cancer and wellbeing generally I came across many approaches which were dismissed or hidden by conventional medicine if there were no profit in the cure – even after the researcher such as Otto Warburg had been recognised for his work by the Nobel committee!. However, after hearing Serge speak, I was open to re-looking at my beliefs around conventional medicine and have now seen first hand how conventional medicine and esoteric medicine can work together for the best outcome for the patient.
Great post Julie! What a wonderful life you and your family now lead, without the bells and whistles, just simple harmony through the love and respect you reflect back to each other.
Wonderful blog Julie. Serge has been an inspiration to many by reflecting to us the Sons of God we naturally are.
Julie the changes you describe as a result of making more loving choices speak volumes. Serge Benhayon has inspired many by his lived example, not by preaching or imposing, and that is why so many of us have been able to make wiser choices and are now living much more healthy, harmonious and successful lives. Enjoying a loving relationship with oneself and with others is something to celebrate every day.
The changes you have made through developing a more self-loving and caring relationship with yourself Julie are indeed inspiring! You also have described beautifully how you have been lovingingly supported by Serge Benhayon and his family to make more loving choices which include conventional medicine when you first consider the all of who you are and not just the roles you perform.
Yes Jane, I understand the ‘searching high and low’ before meeting Serge. The search is over and now the exploration begins as we allow ourselves to unfold and be the glorious beings that we were born. And, with many less highs and lows!
What a great blog Julie. I have known and watched you blossom into the glorious woman you are today over that 9 years and your two children have not had their true lights extinguished by the world that most of us have experienced. Your children are now candles in the darkness showing the way for others.
I am continually amazed by the courage of Serge Benhayon to not shirk the big issues and say what needs to be said. We live in an intense world with a lot of crazy goings on that don’t make sense. One man makes sense of it all and that is Serge Benhayon.
I have never been attracted by the idea of following another person, but I always stop and listen to what Serge says, as I know in my body that it makes perfect sense, his teachings give a lot to go away and digest, and I have found that life has become simpler, richer and more enjoyable from trying out many of the things that he shares.
What Serge is offering to us is that we always have a choice and that there is no wrong or right only true or not true and that we do know love. Just like Julie and all the others have shared, my life has changed from a life full of emotions to a life where I can connect to my stillness, living as a mother and wife instead of the woman, feeling my way to go with my inner heart instead of all the ideas and beliefs running through my head. And he does not stop reflecting we are the Sons of God.
Julie, there is so much in your blog but even just one line about how you now feel “I am no longer exhausted” is a huge change given the levels of exhaustion today, easily seen through the massive amounts of caffeine and sugar consumed to combat the exhaustion.
What Serge Benhayon presents is so very normal but because society has slipped so very far away from this, it is sometimes seen as rigid, drastic or boring. But how can living a life of joy and vitality be boring?
‘This is down to one man who has simply, openly shared and presented how he lives his life, all of which makes sense, and he has never watered this down in fear of how it might upset another.’ Thank you Julie for sharing how your life has changed through the reflection of one man, Serge Benhayon.
This is a great point, so called complementary therapies do not tend to talk in appreciation of conventional medicine. This helps to contribute to the sustainability of a consciousness against medicine and doctors that is quite harmful. This helps to appreciate even further Serge Benhayon and what he offers to humanity.
This is true Elkin, in most complementary therapies not appreciating conventional medicine with what it can offer for the physical body means we deny ourselves the healing it does bring when approached as a part of the medicine we need. I know for myself with this attitude of ‘doctors being bad’ how if I had gone to doctor years before with all my ailments I may have got a more real picture of how sick my body really was rather than constantly managing and masking over the symptoms. So yes what Serge Benhayon offers humanity is huge!
“He has met, accepted and understood me on every level, even at times when I have not been able to do so myself!” – I can say for sure that I have experienced this with Serge Benhayon too, and how deeply supportive it has been and is to be truly seen and met in this way.
I have also been changed by Serge Benhayon Julie and go along with everything you say but feel to add that it is not through any conventional way of presentation or learning but by Serge using himself and his family as examples and they are there with the grandchildren too at all the presentations,
Serge just points out the choices they have made to get them to where they are now. The student body is made up of all the people who liked what was presented,
They keep coming back because the changes they have made have improved their self esteem, their health, and the love for them selves and their families, and just about everything else in their lives. It is truly amazing.
It’s true that many alternative health care practitioners do not recommend or support conventional medicine in favour of a more alternative natural ‘approach’. Serge Benhayon supports conventional medicine and actively encourages people to receive it, all the while working on the underlying issues so the problem or illness need not return. This makes total and utter common sense and is a very balanced way to look after ones health.
It certainly does make total sense, especially in light of the fact that neither alternative medicine or western medicine have the answers on their own. Serge Benhayon presents the meaning of true complementary medicines from both Eastern and Western cultures.
Beautiful Julie, ‘I grew to learn that being in a family was not about controlling and imposing on my children, to be and become all that I would like them to be, but rather to show love and care towards myself, then this would happen naturally in the family, as they could accept and be themselves’, this is such a great reminder for me Julie, I am aware that I often slip into the control and wanting my son to be a certain way, it feels great to take the pressure off myself and him and show love and care towards myself instead.
I know where I would be if I hadn’t met Serge, I would be 3 stone if not more heavier in weight, I would be ruddy in complexion with lank hair, maybe some zits, I would be a night mare the week before I got my period, I would have asthma, hay fever, continual chest infections, and that’s if I was lucky enough to not have a life changing illness. That is a fact. I am now a vital, gorgeous, woman who is discovering more and more just how beautiful I am inside and out. This is directly related to having listened to what Serge presents about his life and me experiencing the impact of making loving choices to connect to what lies within.
Wow Vanessa…that’s so powerful. The image of you as you feel you would be without having changed your life is not a pretty picture, but sadly it’s a common one.
How you can see your life would be, Vanessa does not paint a great picture and seems like a long list as the symptoms are written down. However this is how it is for many people in life as well as the long lists of medication that are taken to combat and manage all the symptoms.
The depth of love offered by Serge Benhayon from the truth of his daily living inspires me to know not only what is possible but that it is mine and anyone else’s for the choosing.
No magic pill was offered, as I have never known Serge Benhayon to do. It is amazing to hear how you took responsibility for your choices and made different ones to live a life of true well being.
Julie what a great article about a total choice to embrace a deep commitment to life and to your health after seeing it reflected in Serge Benhayon. You brought the future-you through with inspiration and a choice to self-love. This is surely the way of our evolution.
Julie, absolutely spot on with everything you have shared about Serge Benhayon. Before I came across Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine I felt that there was something missing, despite appearing to have ticked the boxes in life. This feeling of missing something made me feel that whatever I did was not enough, so, a vicious circle started where I was constantly ‘doing’ things, being busy with work, raising a family and always ‘being there’ for anyone. Then at my first level 1 workshop, having experienced the gentle breath meditation and hands on healing, I was able to reconnect to this feeling within me, and I remember saying to myself “…I’ve come home”. This is what I had been missing. This something I felt I was missing was in fact, ME. The fact that, prior to attending a Universal Medicine workshop, there was the nudge, keeping busy and perhaps even becoming a little depressed, were the signals saying, yes, look a bit deeper within yourself because you are missing something… you are missing you… And all I had to do was Stop and reconnect with the gentle breath meditation. Taking self care of myself is the way to keep this connection and the natural consequence is improved vitality, health and wellbeing. That is, bringing the heart into whatever activity I do, living with love, with self care, is indeed true medicine.
If I were to contemplate where my life would be right now if I had not met Serge Benhayon I hate to think where my health, confidence and self-esteem would be. I know if I continued the way I was living I wouldn’t be feeling this exquisite, powerful, tender and beautiful Woman that I know and live today. This is confirmed by my health, vitality and absolute joy for life which has been completely inspired by Serge Benhayon and the Ageless Wisdom teachings. The choices I make on a daily basis is my true medicine.
Thank you Julie and Natalie, yes Serge Benhayon presents such an amazing opportunity for those willing to listen to bring about life changes.
The love and wisdom Serge Benhayon presents with is second to none. I too have discovered that I am an amazing woman that has much to offer the world. I have learnt through observation and inspiration that we are all that in our own unique ways. It is then about claiming and living that amazingness in every choice we make.
‘I was not the disease but rather me as a woman first.’
Julie, this is a great insight. For many people, the disease becomes the focal point of their life. Yet I have been with people who are dying of cancer and they have a quality of life that is amazingly joyful because they do not identify themselves with the disease. The being within is always in a state of true Health, or wholeness.
If one man can change everything, as Serge Benhayon has done and continues to do so, quite incredibly, then what might be changed if we all live the potential that we are. It is truly extraordinary to consider how we might be living and interacting on this planet.
This is amazing to consider Stephen, Serge Benhayon is constantly and lovingly reflecting back to us who we really are and the potential within ourselves to love and live in harmony with all.
Not to push myself through situations or illnesses with force or see them as something bad, but instead look at how I lived and what has brought them up has made the difference. Now I am not frustrated about them, but cherish every bit of learning they are offering to me.
Great comment Michael. The illness is sometimes caused by the way we have been living. With self love and self care we can live a better life and sometimes the illness even goes away.
Julie, Serge Benhayon offers us the “opportunity to stop and reflect” on our diseases and ailments, to search and feel the true reason behind it. We can thus redirect our energy in the right direction. I also agree that the transformation occurring in ourselves is reflected in the people around us. Everybody benefits – near or far – from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
Serge Benhayon has changed my life deeply. I never met a man with such a deep love and understanding before I met him.
I agree Kerstin, I too had never met anyone with such understanding of how life really was and wasn’t afraid to say what he knew to be true. Serge Benhayon’s sharings of what he lives day to day have endlessly inspired me to live a far more loving life. I am so appreciative that I found my way to him 12 years ago.
It is a beautiful testament to the grace and love that Serge Benhayon brings to the world. It is amazing to me that he is able to equally support so many people. I have had a similar experience of support with Serge and his family and feel very blessed to be where I am today.
I love coming back to this blog as there is no doubt that Serge Benhayon has been a catalyst for the incredible changes that I’ve made in my life since meeting him. With simple techniques of connection to myself, never being told what to do I have built a level of confidence and trust in myself that I had not had ever had before. It’s very much an ongoing process and whereas I used to think I had to reach the end to be anything I am now starting to appreciate that I am a student of myself, a student of life and with that always developing.
A beautifully expressed comment David and I could not agree more with what you have said here. Being a student of oneself is in itself an amazing realisation that takes away many pressures we have from life, ourselves and everyone around us.
So powerful to read Julie – how you have seen within yourself the potential to be loving and to not hold back who you truly are, based on the reflection you were shown by Serge Benhayon. That has been the same for me, and for so many others. Absolutely met and appreciated for who we really are.
Serge Benhayon has empowered many, many people to change their life. This is the cornerstone of what medicine is all about.
Absolutely Elizabeth, I totally agree.
Very true Elizabeth, Serge Benhayon has shown humanity that the best medicine first is the way we choose to live, every day in very way.
Serge Benhayon was the first person who has ever said that how we live everyday can be our medicine. This awareness is life changing.
What needs to be questioned is: if this one man Serge Benhayon has inspired to change many, many lives by the choices people make and for it to be so extraordinary normal and with great success with their health – then what is it that he is teaching? How can it be that so many people are willing and prepared to make those changes? Is it possible that what Serge presents is from his lived example and because of this, it is able to be sustained and grow within so many people?
Well said Natalie and if one man can do this then many others can as well.
Spot on Elizabeth and Serge is presenting that back to us all to remember.
I am one Serge Benhayon inspired to change their life.
So true Elizabeth – Universal Medicine has been the best medicine I ever had! When I first heard Serge Benhayon say he was pro-medicine I questioned this. However what has been presented by Serge on Conventional Medicine working alongside Alternative therapies like Chakra Puncture, Massage and Connective Tissue Therapy, has proved time and time again that one complements the other naturally – a union that was always meant to be.
One man inspiring thousands of people to change their lives and truly address their health and well-being is pretty incredible, and absolutely what medicine is all about.
Simply awesome way to see medicine Elizabeth and yes Serge Benhayon has done that by simply presenting the truth with love.
One man has changed everything. Introducing self care as the fundamental ingredient in the way we go about our day, really has shown me that this is indeed true medicine.
I totally agree Johanne, taking care of ourselves is the real medicine.
And self-care is both a preventative and curative medicine too.
I have also experienced this total life changing way of living due to one man – Serge Benhayon – introducing self care as a fundamental ingredient. And what is amazing to understand now is that this ingredient does not stand still, and keeps developing and refining, which continues to raise the level of how I care for myself and others.
It’s amazing how something so simple and so obvious can have such a profound effect. Serge Benhayon has redefined medicine for me, medicine used to be just for when I was sick, but now I understand the way we live can be medicine and we can address health issues long before they arrive.
Julie, it is amazing to hear how your life has changed since meeting Serge Benahyon, every time I see you you look more radiant, thank you for sharing this miracle.
When changes take place slowly it’s easy to not see what’s going on – as a one humanity, over the centuries, we have allowed ourselves to go deeper and deeper into behaviour that is abusive, self abusive and unhealthy, with the result that we are in a state of ongoing war, anxiety and illness. At the same time, throughout the centuries there have been wise men and women who have presented back to humanity that there is another way. This century a man called Serge Benhayon is presenting that same truth, and once again we have an opportunity to change all our lives and make the choice to live together in harmony. It may take many more centuries before all of humanity gets it, and it’s up to each one of us to carry that message out into the world with our own livingness, reflecting to all how it can be.
That is so true Carmel, that through our livingness we reflect to all people we meet and have relations with, that there is another other way, the truth way of what life actually is about and will eventually restore integrity, human decency and harmony back into our lives and into our societies.
” I was not the disease”. This is such a powerful understanding whatever one’s condition is. It means we have the choice not to be a victim to the condition but can take charge of our life. You share this so well Julie, thank you.
Great blog Julie and it shows us that one person can initiate huge change. Often I have thought or have been told we are powerless to change things because it is just one voice – this is not the case when it comes to speaking Truth. Standing in Truth, One man did change everything.
Serge Benhayon shows us the way to be able to lead a more fruitful life in love, harmony and truth. It is down to us whether we listen and take it on board for our own good and all mankind.
Just goes to show what a huge turnaround is possible with the support of Universal Medicine and the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom, as presented by Serge Benhayon.
Beautiful Julie such a great sharing echoed by so many. Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine really have changed the lives of so many and the effect is lovingly spreading worldwide exponentially. Energy, our choice and our connection to what we feel and who we are is a beautiful way to start to honouring ourselves and in this I have been inspired by Serge Benhayon and his family. Honouring ourselves and healing using conventional and esoteric medicine hand in hand, is a beautiful way to live.
Hi Julie, there was so very much in your blog to reflect upon, and as I sit hear pondering on how our lives and so many thousands of other lives have been impacted positively by having met Serge Benhayon and being able to attend the presentations of Universal Medicine, I feel the grace and the beauty of this connection. How divinely cared for we all are if we just recognized the grace in every moment when we are given the choice to re-connect with our inner selves. I am finding that that choice is always there, in every breath. in every moment – if we but remembered we actually do have that choice to choose the energy that flows through every cell, the energy that is either ultimately going to heal us or harm us. In every moment do I choose this energy or that energy – simple really – there are only two choices.
Beautiful Julie, I too have experienced that my life has changed a lot since I met Serge Benhayon and his family and I am also eternally great-full.
I also want to add my testimony. I may not be as well advanced as some of the students of Universal Medicine but as so many posts suggest it is our choice and responsibility to keep evolving. Having been introduced to the work of Universal Medicine it is the best thing that as ever happened in my life.
“When I first met Serge Benhayon I heard him talk and be very positive about conventional medicine – something I had never come across ever in any complementary therapy presentation.” I agree Julie, having trained in many complementary modalities other than the esoteric ones many years ago, conventional medicine was tarred with a very dirty brush. Yet it is so obviously needed in many areas – accidents and injuries to name but two.
I agree Julie Snelgrove that Serge Benhayon does practice true charity and never withholds his time or wisdom for self gain but always has his door open so to speak to anyone who is seeking healing or answers to the dilemmas in life. You can add me to the list of people whose lives have been changed completely due to inspiration from this man.
Thanks Julie. Serge really does present a way of living that he shares so openly and honestly and doesn’t hold anyone as less. It inspires me how he lets everyone in and cares about everyone no matter who they are. He is a true role model. That is something that can’t be denied about Serge, he is truly open and doesn’t hide anything from anyone. He doesn’t try and play games with people on any level, he only lives his truth and presents his truth, asking no one to follow him.
I agree Harry, it is very rare to find that level of truth and integrity in a person. With what Serge Benhayon presents, there are many more people being inspired to live the same way. What a world that would look like, everyone being honest and open with everyone and seeing all as equal!!
Great comment Harry, Serge is truly an amazing man but so are you Harry and you to Tim Bowyer and me too. We can reflect back what Serge Benhayon has inspired in us to the world to inspire humanity.
Oh Ariana…yep this line is absolute gold…’Nothing and no one can give me the loving relationship I have with myself. it is the greatest gift I can give to myself.’ It sums up what Serge Benhayon inspires so beautifully – that all the answers and love we have been searching for is within each one of us. We are all ‘THE ONE’!
It’s so true Julie, one man can make such a difference and I bet you are now too with all the people that you come into contact with who can feel the wonderful changes that you have made in your life. To live your newfound joy is an inspiration in itself.
Serge Benhayon is living and presenting his life to the world, showing just what is possible on so many levels. How could thousands not be inspired to start making the life choices which result in incredible changes in so many lives.
I used to think transforming the world required campaigning, protesting, fighting with what was not okay, and was frustrated that nothing seemed to work. Through witnessing Serge Benhayon living a life – that as you rightly say reflects what is possible on so many levels – and seeing myself and so many hundreds of others be inspired to turn our own lives around, I now know a very different way that truly and fundamentally transforms.
This is a great point Golnaz as I too used to think in the same way as a solution to the world changing. It wasn’t until meeting Serge Benhayon that I understood that change started with me as reflected by him in how Serge chose to live his life and relate to EVERY person in this life. And as you say this is what brings transformation – simple.
I feel very much the same as you and so many others Julie, Serge Benhayon has changed everything. Certainly in my life I look at the World in a different way, and will forever be changed and growing into the future. Through this there is the ripple effect in family and friends and others that we also touch. Thank you Julie.
This is such a powerful blog and the title says it all! Serge Benhayon really has changed everything for myself and thousands of others. Here for humanity to heal and live truly from ourselves, with being presented with the truth about what life is really all about and offering by reflection all the keys and tools to choose this for ourselves. It is from our livingness, lovingly from our entire bodies, gloriously celebrating all we are and inspiring others to do the same, that will bring the integrity and love with harmony, responsibility and true medicine complementing each other all the way. Thank you Julie, beautifully shared.
Wow I’m constantly amazed by these life changing stories. Every women deserves to discover such a way of living and loving herself fully as Julie has shared here. Why wait until the breast cancer or other stop before we start taking greater care and love of ourselves…
Exactly, why wait? As women it is very likely for most their bodies are showing them something in how they treat themselves. I know mine was for many years through my periods each month. If there is the opportunity to make changes – now is a good time. Developing breast cancer or any other serious women’s health condition does not have to be an inevitable outcome.
I agree, breast cancer or any illness does not have to be an inevitable outcome when you understand that lifestyle choices have such a huge impact on our health. Serge Benhayon has helped so many people because of sharing the understanding that the way that one looks after themselves and lives is the best daily medicine…or an absolute poison, depending on what one is choosing. He has brought true power back to the people and if one chooses to be self-responsible, great change can happen as it has for many, me included.
This is so true Julie, “As women it is very likely for most their bodies are showing them something in how they treat themselves.” Growing up and in my early 20’s my body was always having constant aches and pains, or my period stopping for months, or even just being up and down emotionally. At the time I never once considered that it had anything to do with how I was treating myself, and thought this is just how life was going to be. It wasn’t until I came to the teachings of the ancient wisdom and The Way of The Livingness and also Esoteric Women’s health (and specifically presentations by Natalie Benhayon) that I have started to consider that the way I am with myself (caring, or rough and abrupt – positive thoughts, or thoughts of lacking self worth) – all of this has a great impact on how I feel deep down and also the quality of my health.
Thanks Julie for sharing your story. Like many others, I have felt disappointed in both conventional and alternative medicines, feeling that they promised a lot but often failed to live up to expectations. It wasn’t until I started to attend Universal Medicine that I discovered the missing link, i.e. the combination of both conventional and esoteric medicine.
This is such a powerful blog to read and the appreciation I feel of Serge Benhayon is immense. He is not looking for praise or compliments and does not need these to confirm who he truly is. However to appreciate this beautiful man is an acknowledgement of the impact he has had on the way my family and I are now living our lives on a daily basis.
I’ve had many surgical procedures and all of these experiences have been positive ones but it would have been very helpful to understand why they were necessary. Conventional medicine is a wonderful thing but without understanding the energetic causes behind illness and disease there can never be a true healing – enter Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
Thank you Julie for sharing your experience. Illness and disease can be exposing, in that the very foundation and choices you have made comes under scrutiny. It is clear from your writing that there are many beautiful changes that have transpired since, along with deepening relationships and love. I, too, say thank you to Serge Benhayon for his humility, love and vision. There is another way to live as you have so clearly illustrated.
My attitude towards conventional medicine has also changed since meeting Serge Benhayon. I would do anything to avoid going to the doctor out of fear that I might have to undergo invasive techniques. Now I see that it is actually a self-loving choice to get regular health checks so that I can be aware if any disease or illness is developing.
I had the pleasure to meet Serge Benhayon this week at the Lighthouse. We talked for a few minutes and the warmth that ran through my body was awesome, realising what he has done, not only for me, but all others, and making life changes for all to see.
This is very true … “And anyone can do the same.” Thank Ariana for making this clear.
Serge Benhayon has had such an enormous effect on people’s lives. He is one in a million.
Julie, I also loved your comment that you realised you were not the disease but the woman. This would have been a huge shift particularly when going through a serious illness. What a blessing your learning offers to yourself, your family and all those in your life. Wonderful to read you are no longer exhausted too.
I too was struck how you went deeper than just the disease and sought to understand how you had been living as a woman that was not self-loving and self-nurturing. This with your new openess to work with conventional medicine seems to have allowed for a really deep healing.
Julie, you express the sentiments of many once they have met Serge Benhayon. It is a life changer!
Indeed, this one man has also changed everything for me, and what is a miracle now is that WE can become that ‘one man’ for others. Imagine how inspiring it is for people who have known Julie before, and have seen the changes and felt the empowerment in her life… how inspiring.
Very true cjames! We can become that ‘one man’ for others. To make the shifts as Julie and others have is very inspiring for others. I know my friends and family have been inspired by the changes I have made to my own life.
Beautifully said Chris, we can become a reflection for others based on the choices we are making for ourselves.
There are hundreds of people walking around living more of who they are, there is huge potential for that to be an inspiration to others.
To me that gets self out of the way – we have a much bigger role to be who we are.
So true cjames, it is not enough just to live a better life, Julie and others can inspire others to empower themselves.
Hi Jane, it’s not about journalists or researchers writing about this in ten years even though they will, It’s about each of us going out today and inspiring others.
I met Serge Benhayon seven years ago in Somerset. From the very first time I noticed how different he is from many spiritual leaders and teachers I came across and knew personally. The level of love and respect for me as a woman and a person, his full integrity and real understanding is high and constant through all these years. And yes, Julie, I agree with everything you said about Serge and his relationship with medicine, all of us and humanity. He shows us plainly and clearly – if one man can inspire thousands of people to make more loving choices and learn what this life is about – what then can these thousands of people can do by simply reflecting to others who we truly are?
Julie, thank you — re-reading your post and what you share about Serge Benhayon treating you as the woman first and not labelling you with the disease is profound and should be so normal but unfortunately it is not. Everywhere it is now the case that people are treated as patients with illnesses and the person is not the one who is met on the treatment table. This is huge.
And I would say the question is, how do we treat ourselves? Do we go to the doctor, to the hospital with us in full, presenting who we are, or do we go presenting ‘our disease’, discomfort etc. When we start treating ourselves with the love and care we deserve, it is then that we can easily expect this from our health practitioner as well, because we wouldn’t settle for less than that.
This is a great point raised here, Katerina – ‘how do we treat ourselves?’ and do we visit the doctor expecting to be fixed with no care as we not caring for ourself?
Julie I wholeheartedly agree that Serge Benhayon has had a huge impact on my life too, far more than I ever imagined when I first sought healing from him. I too had an opinion that conventional medicine was not the answer and was surprised to hear him state that he was pro medicine. When he explained that the esoteric modalities and medicine work hand in hand this made perfect sense, and all fell into place.
I keep coming back to this blog post, as the impact that Serge Benhayon has had on my life is more than I ever considered possible. Yet the impact is not what I used to think an impact looked like, in that there were no rules, no do’s or don’ts, but what was and is consistently felt is someone that can see me for everything I am and helps support me to reclaim that. I thought I was going to see Serge for a medical issue or problem with flying, yet as each year passes since I met Serge Benhayon I understand the reason for meeting him was far bigger, and the responsibility I have for the way I live is now what is most important. A living medicine.
My awareness has changed too for the reason of meeting Serge Benhayon. I first went to see him to explore a different perspective on life, because I knew how life was simply didn’t feel right and I was no longer willing to simply accept it “as life”, or fake it. He has made me aware that every single choice I make can impact myself and others for good or ill and without perfection I have made this my living way – a responsibility that although I wasn’t consciously aware I was signing up for at the start, I have said a resounding “yes” to since.
Thank you Julie for this beautiful sharing of the changes in your life from meeting Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. It is inspirational and I have changed my life also and that of our whole family with greater responsibility, love and truth in or lives, health and well being. One man has certainly changed everything for so many, and this way of living is available for everyone to choose too.
It was so lovely to read this again Julie, and to agree with all you have said about your experience and about the Benhayon family and the work of Universal Medicine. My experience is very similar and I love seeing the profound and supportive life changes too in the so many who choose to venture this way.
The level of commitment and love for humanity lived and reflected consistantly by Serge Benhayon is like no other, he has inspired thousands to change their way of living and be more honouring, loving and in harmony to ourselves and others.
Well said Francisco. The amount of love, care, understanding and patience Serge holds for everyone is pure inspiration.
thanks Julie – Serge Benhayon has inspired so many people to change themselves – he’s one true change agent!
a change agent that needs to be studied and understood, just reading the books he has written would be a game changer for the world.
A change agent that requires no badge, no code name, no special gadgetry, just a heart full of soul.
Serge Benhayon is an inspiration to all mankind. The number of lives he has touched over the years and helped people to see a better way of living the truth in love and harmony.
Julie Serge Benhayon has changed everything for thousands of people and so many people that I know. However that is just the start as through the wisdom that he shares so many of the worlds current problems can be addressed – not simply covering things up but ensuring that the state of humanity returns to one of harmony.
Brilliant Julie and the title means so much. Serge Benhayon HAS changed everything and will do so for the whole of humanity. I echo what you say about his relationships with others and there is much to appreciate in what he and the Benhayon family bring for us all – equally and consistently.
This has also been my experience Carola. The quality of my health and relationships has truly deepened. Thank you Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
I am now living more of the life that I imagined and felt was possible, but was unable to find the way to do so. Since choosing to attend Universal Medicine presentations and meeting Serge Benhayon this possibility has become a way of life. Where I am constantly developing and deepening my connection to my true self, my essence and making loving choices that support this connection. And with this the quality of my health, well-being, vitality and relationships have all immensely improved, noticeably so. This way of love and truth is the way I now truthfully love to live.
It is down to my relationship that I have nurtured with Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine that has taught me sooooo much and yes my vitality and wellbeing has gone to a level that I never knew was possible. Huge appreciation to myself for sticking with my self love development all inspired by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
Thats a good point Natalie, it’s easy to take for granted the choices we have made to develop our self love and those that have persevered have come a long way from where we all were so I will join you in that huge appreciation of ourselves and of Serge Benhayon for inspiring us to be more than we thought we could.
The more we appreciate the enormity of our choices to be all of us what I have come to realise is the more of us just gets bigger and bigger. The next thing is to truly accept that we can be this almighty.
Thanks Julie – I wholeheartedly concur. What you write about has been my experience too. My well-being and vitality is exponentially improved through developing a truthful relationship with myself, with my body and with love itself … all thanks to the inspiration of Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and the many many students of their own Livingness.
The qualities of Serge Benhayon, you speak of in your last paragraph, I too had not come across until I met Serge… and like you Julie it’s been a life changer for me.
“My life and the responsibility I take in it towards myself, my choices, my family, friends and work is unrecognisable from how life used to be”. Here here Julie. I’m another of the many who have been inspired to make loving changes in my life through knowing, observing and talking with Serge Benhayon. Like you my attitude towards conventional medicine has changed and I now make my regular health checks part of my self-care routine. The way I parent has also changed. I wholeheartedly agree that Serge Benhayon practices true charity.
My life now is a 360 degree change, completely unrecognisable. All for the better and much more committed to myself and those around me. Serge is without a doubt the inspiration for this change simply from living in a way that proves without a doubt that there is another way to live.
It is indeed the greatest gift we can give to ourselves. The more loving towards ourselves we are (which self-care is a great way to start that process),the more we want to love and take deeper care of ourselves. It is so simple yet so powerful. No magic potions or miracle cures – just a commitment to take care of you and to develop a loving relationship with yourself. It feels so lovely to start reconnecting to my lovelinesss after being so hard on myself for so many years. It is a true gift.
“….it helped me break down the negativity I held towards medical professionals, so it wasn’t long before I could fully accept all that medicine had to offer…..” I echo this Julie. As a former homeopath, I was very biased against conventional medicine. I now freely accept its place and combined with Esoteric medicine I have the best of both worlds.
I can also echo that too sueq2012, I also studied homeopathy and prior to attending Universal Medicine presentations had a bias against conventional medicine and have also come to accept and acknowledge the great good that it provides. Conventional and Esoteric medicine are a match made in heaven! The combination is indeed the best of both worlds!
I too had rejected Conventional Medicine after some unpleasant experiences had shattered my trust in that system. It was obvious they didn’t have all the answers, but in my view were pretending they were it. However I had been seriously disappointed in all the alternative therapies I studied also, in Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture, Homeopathy, and heaps of others. Not until I learned about esoteric medicine through Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine could I finally understand the bigger picture and have now re-embraced conventional medicine as part of the path to healing.
As a nurse I became frustrated and not convinced that conventional medicine was the answer. I was looking for a wholistic approach.
So I studied naturopathy, herbal medicine, and other modalities.
It was not until I learnt about esoteric medicine through Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine that I understood that true healing lies in the combination of conventional medicine and esoteric medicine.
It really is the best of both worlds. I have found being a student has made me far more likely to go to the doctors and get checked out, or have regular check ups, blood tests etc then I ever would have before, because being a student has developed my self-respect and I recognise the valuable part medicine plays.
I agree Rebecca it is the best of both worlds – conventional medicine with the understanding from esoteric medicine that how we live affects whether we have illness or disease or not.
On reading this a second time what stood out for me was the impact of seeing the Benhayon family as I too can relate to that so well. The love, equality, openness and no compromise on truth between them I found, and still do, such an inspiring reflection of what true family can be. For me it has had a huge impact in enabling me to change the dynamics in my family to one which is now so much more loving and truthful.
Totally inspiring changes that you have chosen to make Julie, you are a testament that there is another way of living, one that is honouring and caring for our bodies and with the awareness of the ideals and beliefs that have been weighting us down for aeons preventing us to live the joy and love that we are. Thank you Serge Benhayon for showing us The Way.
Thanks for sharing Julie, just think people around you are also feeling elements of how you feel being around Serge when they are around you. There is definitely motivation there for me to keep re-connecting.
I agree with Julie, Ariana. This is a great claim and it comes with the one thing that most of us are not willing to take…Responsibility. Serge Benhayon has given us a lot of great gifts, we just have have to accept them.
Beautifully shared, Julie. It is amazing how the support given to you by Serge Benhayon not only helped you through your own healing process, but has in turn allowed you to heal your own relationship with your family, plus your relationship with life!
I am with you on this Ariana and it is a true treasure to really allow yourself to start this process of return, Serge Benhayon and his family have been amazing reflections of this.
I know exactly what you are talking about Julie, changing the way I am with myself and choosing love, care and sense of self worth in all that I do. The immediate impact that this has on the way I feel and my health is enormous. After a while there is no need for an obvious choice to make because it feels so good it becomes second nature, one you need to keep an eye on though. All thanks to the incredible work that Serge Benhayon presents with Universal Medicine – Truly outstanding.
It always astounds me the time Serge Benhayon makes for me and for everyone I see him with in spite of the demands on his time in his day. This doesn’t take account of all the projects and work he does unseen. It is a remarkable reflection to have and as so many have expressed, the ripple effect of this on relationships and self care and care for others is quite remarkable. It actually needs to be studied it is so momentous.
It’s incredible the pressures we place upon ourselves to be perfect and that you took responsibility when you were diagnosed with breast cancer by not shying further away from the medical profession. It is very encouraging to read that you allowed the expertise from the medical profession to support you in healing breast cancer, along with the additional support from Serge Benhayon and you also turning to yourself and looking at your lifestyle up to that point. My experience of Serge is exactly the same. He is forever encouraging and sharing of his wisdom – but not over anyone – so that you are naturally left to rise up to what is presented by him and incorporate that into your life, if it resonates as true.
On reading this Julie and looking back also at my life 9 years ago, I can appreciate how life is so very different, much fuller and more loving. Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine have been fundamental in bringing a truth back to life that I was sorely missing a decade ago.
The changes that you have made Julie ought to get health professionals sitting up in their chairs and honestly enquiring about how on earth did you do it and what is it that Serge Benhayon is presenting that works so powerfully.
Absolutely Elizabeth, this is a question that needs to be asked and closely studied.
Yes, Elizabeth and there are many many others who have made the same changes – what an amazing study this would be!
Yes absolutely Elizabeth. This should be the question on everyone’s lips. It is a story worth listening to and studying.
With these words Ariana, you are not only speaking for me, but for many many others: “He also taught me the value of self care, which is something I am grateful for everyday.” If Serge Benhayon had only ever presented me with the value of self care my life would have still changed in so many ways, but he has presented me with the answers to so many lifelong questions, answers that I now realise that I already had, I just didn’t know how to connect with them.
Yes ingrid connecting to my inner knowing and answers are life changing,
Serge offers the tools to do this for each and every one of us.
Thank you Julie for such a heartfelt expression of how your life has changed since crossing the path of Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon. It is a remarkable account and epitomizes how truly transformational self care is.
A beautiful sharing showcasing how we can accept the support offered by western medicine that is unquestionably there without shirking our own responsibility in regards to how we contribute to our own health – which is a large part of what Universal Medicine is all about really.
Serge Benhayon has changed everything for the better and for so many people world wide, I for one feel blessed for coming into contact with him. Thank you Julie for highlighting this fact.
Well said Joe I fully concur. Looking back I was not fully aware of the mess that my life was in. As Julie has shared though it would be even more of a mess now had it not been for the support of presentations of Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon. There are many areas still to look at in my life but I also feel blessed to have chosen to come to Universal Medicine – something your comment reminds me to appreciate.
It is beautiful the way Serge understands us, often better than we understand ourselves. Serge Benhayon and his family have been a huge influence in my life as well, inspiring a commitment to myself, life and humanity in a way that I have not known previously. My life is now purposeful and often joyful as I contribute to the world in a truly loving, serving way.
Yes Shirley-Ann, the equalness and support Serge Benhayon offers everyone is something I had never experienced before. It is remarkable. As his family have grown and also offered the same equalness, with the same dedication and love for all, thousands of lives have been touched and inspired to change. Yes! One man and one family have changed everything.
What I love about this blog title Julie is that you have written ‘One man has changed everything” but what if the title read – Serge Benhayon – showed this one woman how to change everything. What a great title appreciating Serge Benhayon and his amazing love along with yours in sharing this inspiring blog.
It kinda feels like there is a think fog surrounding the belief that conventional medicine is ‘bad’. I’ve noticed that, in general, people put so much emphasis on the fact that medicine should be able to fix them and then get disappointed when it doesn’t. Rather then just seeing conventional medicine as an aid in healing the issue and not the answer…
When you wrote this bit Julie – ‘Feeling this meant that I could feel a quality, or something in myself equal to Serge Benhayon, that meant I was worth looking after.’ It was great to read. That’s really what Serge does, looks after himself so much and kinda brings to light the fact that we are worth this too.. Incredible.
Thank you Julie for your beautiful, tender and very loving expression about yourself and your journey of return to be the real YOU. The consistent reflection of true love that Serge Benhayon and his family constantly offer to us all is the most amazing blessing and healing opportunity. ‘One man who has changed everything’? ABSOLUTELY! This also my personal experience and the one of the many people who have been and are deeply touched by the presence of a man whose true love for humanity has, literally, the power to change everything.
Gorgeous blog Julie – it is amazing to hear how your life has changed in this way as a result of the teachings of Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon, and, being friends with your kids, it has been great to see the change in them as we have grown up together.
Until we are walking the path of return, reclaiming ourselves and experiencing and feeling the transformations in ourselves and others, only then do we get the enormity of our lost ways, misdirected from our true path. I can’t imagine where I would be without the guiding light of Universal Medicine.
Beautiful said Merrilee, where would I be without the guiding light and the enormous support of Universal Medicine and all the students…
Absolutely amazing and inspiring to feel the complete transformation you made and continue to make Julie.
It almost feels like a different person that you described before and after, choosing to love and support yourself and making self loving choices.
Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine have been an absolute inspiration to many people I have seen, and know, he is certainly the ‘real deal’.
Thomas I agree, it’s quite staggering to see the strength and commitment that Julie lives with now and then look at how things were before 9 years ago. It makes me realise just how many of us, myself very much included, were not actually living anything close to who we truly were before coming to Universal Medicine. From what one incredible man, Serge Benhayon, has shared it rings true in the hearts of everyone. Absolutely the “real deal”.
Absolutely David. This is the case for many people who have made huge changes in their life after meeting Serge Benhayon.
Julie, like many of us you have shared how you have felt the unimposing loving support from Serge Banhayon and his family. The love and commitment his family model about self care and true relationships building is a blessing to share and write. Thanks for a great blog.
Julie, you sound like you have truly turned your life around and the way your children are living is proof of the ripple effect out to others of these positive changes. I, like most other mothers, can relate to getting caught in the ‘total self sacrifice to my children’ trap. It is only since meeting Serge Benhayon and attending Universal Medicine presentations that I have been learning to drop the old ideals around motherhood and understand that motherhood is just one expression of being a woman.
Very inspiring piece Julie Snelgrove from how your life was to what it is now — what a turn around! Just wondering … Where is your life going to end up as in your last line says “as I constantly feel inspired to learn and develop more”. I can say the same and If I can relate and stand with you – WHERE ARE WE HEADED? I began with Serge Benhayon 9 years ago to and my life has profoundly changed. I am a different man. I have to start a whole new Blog to write my story I cannot fit in a comment !! My quality of life improves as I learn how to deal with more and more .. one of the beautyfull things about this I get to learn and grow with these amazing people whose lives are changing daily also. More and more love is being observed and expressed exponentially ..
I was left smiling as I read through this and thank you for reminding me of the beauty of learning and growing alongside others who also take responsibility for their lives and are making changes too!
Yes and that we all have the choice to make loving choices at any moment if we all stop to feel where we are really at. Great sharing!
fantastic point Rik and one that I can forget to appreciate that we are all learning – being around people that are actively choosing to support themselves to make loving choices and to live who they truly are is super special. Taking responsibility for the way we live is felt by all, and when we live with the all as our focus by starting with ourselves first life feels true.
Beautiful blog Julie, and one that I can very much relate to as I am sure many other women can. My family have felt the same love, care and support from Serge Benhayon and his family and many times I have often been amazed at how much love they have shown us and continue to do so.
This is beautiful Julie as I can feel both your appreciation of Serge Benhayon but also your true appreciation, love and nurturing of you. I loved how you expressed that you never felt pressured but was always accepted for who you are and where you were at in your awareness in life. It is so true from my experience of Universal medicine and all the Benhayon’s that we are allowed to be and that in itself is inspiring.
Indeed Serge Benhayon has changed everything! In my experience, when someone is sick they look sick, sound sick and have the miserable demeanor of someone who IS sick. So how can it be that for the last few years although I have been dealing with a constant stream of health problems, some of which are medically serious, people keep saying to me how well I look? The reason is simple: I now understand that my body is mine but I am not my body. The ‘I’ that expresses through this body can be in great joy, connection and understanding even while feeling the painful and uncomfortable illnesses that my body is experiencing and clearing through. This was not possible before Serge Benhayon’s loving and truthful presentations and way of being.
Thank you Dianne, there is great value in what is shared here – I love how this is expressed, “I now understand that my body is mine but I am not my body.”
Sometimes people take that comment “my body is mine but I am not my body” to mean ‘checking out’, disconnecting from your own body. But far from it now. The other day I was looking at my hands in a whole new light. – beautiful things ready and willing to do whatever I need them to. I could feel with my body the truth that I am more than my body – that it is a precious, obedient vehicle made material for the true me to express through. Somehow this awareness made me even more committed to tenderly, lovingly, caring for this wonderful possession, almost as if it is the innocent one here, and the ‘me’ using it has been irresponsible with it in the past. It’s ironic how when we assume our body is ‘us’, how much less careful we are with it and when it is a valued possession, it gets better treatment – like the sports car of our dreams!
This is true medicine in the full sense of that word being lived and embraced. It not only has the physical and immediate healing of the illness which is done with true love and care but also has the healing over time of the way of being that led to that illness as inspired by the simple love and care lived and breathed by one man and his family.
It’s so wonderful Julie how you took gradual loving steps towards taking responsibility for your life and changed it for the better. Truly inspiring thank you for sharing all of you Julie.
Something that stands out in your blog Julie is the part where you say you learnt to work with the doctors in your treatment for cancer and felt empowered for doing so. This is so important that we take responsibility for our own health and not just hand it over to conventional or alternative medicine to fix, but actually be fully engaged in the treatment process.
Totally agree Andrew, no one can come in and just fix your health issues. I mean sure they can, however in many cases we see the same health concerns just reoccurring. Until we, the patient, take steps to benefit our health in more proactive ways. As are the teachings of universal medicine and the presentations of self love and self care. So simple yet so game changing.
Yes I agree Andrew, choosing to engage with her doctors certainly put Julie in a different position in relation to the treatment she received. I get the feeling that when we do engage with our treatment, we bring to the table everything we can do to support the healing process and allow the doctor to do the best they can with all their skills and knowledge. It must be such a different experience for the doctor too, to know that their patient is meeting them half way, so to speak.
I agree Andrew. I was much like Julie and anti-medicine before I met Serge Benhayon and felt the truth of what he presented about medicine and complementary medicine working hand-in-hand. I now have a lovely relationship with my GP who knows I am very proactive in getting regular blood and other tests as a preventative measure and she fully supports me in this. I suspect it is a relief for her to deal with someone like me who isn’t demanding solutions for things that I can manage through the way I live, eat, sleep, work, etc.
It is an interesting title with “…One Man has changed everything” in it, as there was much acknowledgement of others, yet I understand the power of one person speaking about truth unreservedly, when someone is prepared to listen and try it on – that is indeed the beginning of everything changing.
Well said Simon, Serge Benhayon has shared Truth and it is up to each person to choose to listen and discover for themselves the reality of these truths within ourselves. There are many who will stand up saying Yes the truths presented by Serge Benhayon are also true for me.
Julie, you could have written that blog about me, Serge Benhayon has changed my life in all the ways that you describe. In reading your blog I could feel how blessed we are that Serge stands so true and lovingly in what he presents to us, humanity, with out holding back.. Thankyou
I am so grateful to have the true role models like you, the Benhayons and many others. People that share a loving way to live that they know because they live it. It is never telling me to be anywhere but where I am at but is always there to show true care and provide inspiration to me as their equal.
I love your comment Laura and I agree, having the inspiration and support of such role models as the Benhayon family and many others is indeed a blessing.
Thank you Julie. It is indeed an extraordinary quality that Serge Benhayon has, to honour each and every individual, and not to just honour, but to connect with, and to truly serve each and every person without discrimination or favour. If there ever was a person who was the fulcrum around which humanity has the opportunity to pivot and realign itself from the awful destructive path that it is on, it is he.
I agree, Serge’s gentle strength, total integrity and love for humanity, shown in the way he and his family live, and that extraordinary ability to connect with and honour every individual is a blessing for all.
Definetly a blessing indeed for us all.
Julie, through your writing I can feel how the warmth in your body and your outlook on life has returned in a big way:) What an incredible gift to be met with such love and to then meet yourself with that same love and change your life in the way you have. Serge Benhayon is a blessing for all, as are you Julie. Thank you.
We are all most definitely blessed.
I feel the depth of your connection to your inner truth, and what a profound change you made in your life. It is the same for me, and , as you say, for so many other people. It came to me a few days ago, what a huge blessing the one man, Serge Benhayon, is bringing into this world – the inspiration for so many people to come back home to our true being is, which is such a profound, life-changing choice.
This is an ever deepening opening to more love, stillness, truth and joy and I feel blessed to be part of it.
Thats so sweet Julie and well described when you shared how Serge is so generous with his time and does not do so for recognition but to be an absolute support for people, which is very inspiring to see in someone.
I agree Ariel, Serge’s ability to give time to everyone who needs his support is amazing – true charity.
I love the changes you have experienced Julie and the level in which you now care and love yourself, and in turn your children. Very inspiring, thank you.
Julie I so loved reading your blog and could relate to the exhaustion I used to feel when doing everything for my children and neglecting myself. I too fully appreciate having met Serge Benhayon and his family and being able to bring more self-loving choices into my life. I still need to be reminded that “nothing and no one can give me the loving relationship I have with myself”.
Comments like these remind me too that the loving relationship I have with myself is constantly expanding, and like a precious plant, needs constant attention and awareness to help it grow. Without the incredible inspiration, support and love Serge Benhayon offers I would not have remembered these self loving choices. His commitment and lack of ego blow me away, and yet as he says we can all be love, like him. What a world that would be!
I couldn’t agree more Julie. Meeting Serge Benhayon, attending his Universal Medicine courses and workshops over the years, plus trialling what he presents about how to live well to be well and how to build self-love has been profoundly instrumental in my personal development from self-hating and pretty dysfunctional to more self-respecting, loving and engaged with life. I can’t argue with this, because the proof is in the pudding!
What stood out for me when reading this blog for a second time was how you approached having breast cancer from a different place, one of learning what choices led you there in the first place and not from a place of fear. This is an inspiring way to look at how we deal with life threatening illness and the relationships we build with those diseases whilst going through treatment.
This is a beautiful and inspiring claim. “Nothing and no one can give me the loving relationship I have with myself. It is the greatest gift I can give to myself”. And this is exactly what Serge Benhayon invites us to re-ignite within ourselves. Thank you Ariana .
Yes Julie and Ariana, it is indeed the greatest gift we can give ourselves, ‘Nothing and no one can give me the loving relationship I have with myself’.The value of this is priceless, the benefits are for all.
Yes I agree Julie, this is precisely what Serge Benhayon offers us all, the opportunity to return to the most fundamental relationship of all, the one we have with ourselves. The beauty of this is as we build a truly loving and caring relationship with ourselves, we naturally extend this to everyone we have a relationship with, so everyone benefits from the offer of one man who lives love 24/7/365.
Julie, I very much appreciated how you describe breast cancer as not just some ordeal you have to get through, but rather ‘…an opportunity to stop and reflect on how I was living in every area of my life’. It took a serious illness for me too to stop and reflect on all my unloving choices. It is a good thing that we used our illness to look at what was not right about the way we were living. But why do we need a serious illness before we take this step? Surely it would be wiser if we were all raised as children to do this as a matter of course and make it a part of our everyday living way. Then perhaps we may not need to get seriously ill in the first place and not even have the need ‘to stop and reflect’. Everyday would already be lived in the awareness of what we require to nurture and support ourselves.
I love your sentiment David regarding our children: can you imagine growing-up, not obscured from the way of the world, but simply supported to know how it is; knowing the ‘what is’ so thoroughly we needn’t a big stop to make us feel where we’re at.
Strained is an appropriate word, Katerina, and describes what happens between people when love is absent. I am finding that when I do allow myself to give myself tender loving attention my relationship with my family blossoms and expands, but if I cut off and start to neglect myself then that strained feeling surfaces again. It is so clear that there is either Love or Not Love, and we can’t have anything between the two. Also that we have a choice, as those around us and our bodies inform us.
Such great revelations in this article Julie, it is astounding how if we start to treat ourselves lovingly with great care and acceptance we open up the doors for true healing. How amazing we have a man like Serge Benhayon and his family shinning a light on what it truly means to self care.
Yes Samantha, and to be able to open up to others, open up to God and open up to myself! Such a joy.
Yes so very true Samantha. The expansion and love we feel and give to others is beautiful once we open ourselves up and allow it to flow naturally.
I really love how much you are sharing all those changes you have encountered over the last few years. It is an absolute miracle and so incredible how just one man can inspire such change.
It sure is, this blog highlights the power of living well and the ripple effect it has on so many people. Very inspiring.
Oh yes Luke, indeed a ripple effect takes place. One that streams through the hearts and ways of so many people. This is where true inspiration is breathed forth.
Hmmm, showing that to inspire someone is effortless.
Yes Natasha, there are many many people who have made miraculous changes like Julie has from being inspired by Serge Benhayon.
I totally agreed with all of the above, Natasha it IS incredible how one man can inspire such change, and Luke, the ripple effect is becoming a tidal wave, gaining momentum daily, and we have ourselves to thank for that also, and Ruth, I agree there have been many, many miraculous changes in peoples lives by basing them on true self-care and beginning to ‘come out’ and speak their truth. All very inspiring and wonderful, and there is no time to rest on our laurels, the possibilities for change are endless and we will continue to be inspired by experiences such as Julie’s, as this will show the world that there is another, most glorious way to live, and achievable now, and not in some utopian future that seems far away.
The changes that are being made by people that are starting to study the ageless wisdom teachings as well as those that have been studying its teachings for a little while now is miraculous.
The ever growing sparkle in each of the eyes of the students has been a remarkable thing to experience. For me it is like each student is re-connecting back to the true essence of life and in that the depth and clarify in the eyes of those studying is deeply miraculous. As well as the physical changes that are happening as students develop deep contentment within themselves, no longer trying to ‘be’ anyone but themselves.
I have heard Serge Benhayon say ‘I am not special, you can all do what I do’. The inspiration he gives to the many who choose that is indeed miraculous.
Julie, there is a simplicity about your sharing that is both inviting and inspiring. It all feels so natural that we would care for and be more open to what is loving and supportive of ourselves. We tend to complicate things so much with beliefs and ideals and old patterns. Thank you Julie and thank you Serge Benhayon.
I agree Bernadette, Julie you write with a real warmth and care for everyone that permeates off the page – gorgeous to read.
This is a beautiful and very real sharing Julie, thank you. Your experience with illness and disease, as well as your path with healing and now every day life has clearly been supported by Serge Benhayon and all the love that he naturally is. I too have felt the same support and inspiration from him and his family. My life is awesome, and I certainly have them to thank for a huge part of that.
I work in conventional medicine and greatly appreciate what Serge brings to the table with it, particularly love everything you have expressed in your blog. The introduction of self care, self love and self responsibility are fundamentals that must return to this field in order for truly supportive change to occur for all, there is so much more to learn and understand should we be open to it. What I love about Serge Benhayon’s work is that it is actually just basic common sense.
I could feel the warmth of that in my own body. Felt and loved. thank you.
Julie, I enjoyed reading about the profound changes that have come about in your life since you have met Serge Benhayon and become involved in Universal Medicine. I also have deep gratitude to Serge and his family for the inspiring way they conduct themselves. It shows me what we are all capable of if we are prepared to put in the work.
I have learned from Serge Benhayon that the miracle of healing does not occur overnight and does not come from anyone else, but is a gradual process that begins with me and a single choice to introduce self care and self love. Each time we choose this, we heal, and so the beauty of healing begins, one step at a time.
This is a very inspiring blog, thank you Julie.. What an amazing journey with the support of conventional medicine and Universal Medicine.
Thank you Julie for sharing the extraordinary changes that are possible when we introduce self loving choices and become a body of love that reflects the truth of whom we truly are. My deepest gratitude for Serge Benhayon, for he too has supported my reclaiming the love that was always within me just waiting to be released out.
Well said Andrew. Serge Benhayon is the ever-flowing spring of loving support for all who choose to receive.
Thank you Julie, your blog simply demonstrates how well Universal Medicine and conventional medicine fit together.
Yes! Yes! Yes! To everything you have said Julie.
Julia your sharing is super inspiring and you are one of many that have these similar experiences where by their relationship with Serge Benhayon has been life changing – Mine certainly has. This is so far from today’s ‘normal’ and the outcome from people with such serious illnesses is extraordinary. Serge Benhayon and his teachings with Universal Medicine needed to be studied.
Julie what you have shared is against the trend, shifting your life to such loving ways but for others around you too. So many things stuck out for me, esp. taking support of conventional medicine and mothering in non-imposing way. Such an beautiful sharing.
Staying open and bringing more love is all we need to do. This takes many forms but is all founded in truth, and so naturally serves everyone.
Dear Julie, the authenticity you write in is beautiful and brings a sense of trust, playfulness, lightness and responsibility. Not only were you able to heal yourself from cancer, but inspiring a way of living to your children that strengthen them to withstand alcohol, drugs and cigarettes – that is so huge! What a great foundation for their lives, so they too will be inspirational for others.
“to show love and care towards myself, then this would happen naturally in the family, ” this is a great testament to how we can be, as so often we can push or try to make someone change, often the exact opposite thing happens, as they react to the pressure they feel. When in fact just by loving, taking care of and being ourselves, they can be inspired to be the same.
Thank you Julie, this is great to read. It is quite profound the impact Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and yourself have had on turning your life around. Not only for yourself but your whole family and the community you live in. In the sense of the people you now see and work with everyday.
Thank you Julie for this beautiful blog. It shows so well, how we can truly heal if we choose to take responsibility for our lives and to what is needed to be done instead of getting caught up in patterns or beliefs. Universal Medicine and Conventional Medicine simply are an amazing team and can literally move mountains if they are working together.
You have summed it up beautifully Michael, when you say Universal Medicine and Conventional Medicine simply are an amazing team and can literally move mountains if they are working together. Together they form a truly wholistic support to healthcare and well- being
For me too Western and Universal Medicine make a good save. Strong Partners!
Julie this is a beautiful testament to Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and yourself in all you have presented and changed your life with. Thank you for sharing the inspirational truthful approach to cancer, responsibility and the benefits of change that we can make when we choose to. One man certainly has changed everything.
Julie, it’s lovely to read how taking care of yourself has not only brought you health and vitality, you have also brought this to your relationship with your children allowing them to not be drawn in by the alcohol, drugs and cigarettes and to talk through problems or issues, a great foundation for them to be in life.
I agree Serge and equally his family are loving and responsible adults.
“because I know it works” Evidence enough that the combination of Esoteric and Western medicine is the way to go!
Negativity is no longer a word in the dictionary. The new word is Positivity. As in life all things are possible, if we just open our eyes and look.
I love that Mike – let’s replace the word ‘negativity’ with positivity.
Great statement Mike. We always have a choice about how we respond to any situation in our lives, including illness and disease.
Beautifully said Mike and I totally agree. If we are willing to open our eyes and truly see then everything changes.
Thank you Julie – this part in particular stands out for me: “there was something else I would feel, and that is that I was not the disease but rather me as a woman first. Feeling this meant that I could feel a quality, or something in myself equal to Serge Benhayon, that meant I was worth looking after” – This is GOLD. Words that speak to all of us. Thank you Julie!
Yes it is gold Henrietta I agree. It is feeling that quality within that Serge encourages us to do, so that we truly feel our own worth and beauty underneath all the beliefs and ideals we have created for ourselves. This is vital when faced with a serious disease, as it supports the individual to not identify with the illness but see themselves first and foremost as a loving, tender person that has a serious illness to deal with. As Julie says, this enabled her to really take care of herself and her body through a very demanding time, with amazing results.
I agree Henrietta. I too as Julie has shared this, have felt the me as a woman in session with Universal Medicine practitioners and it is very powerful. It supersedes anything else and allows a clearer way forth to self care and self nurture.
I completely agree Jane. To not identify as our illness and disease but to see and feel ourselves as the woman or man that we actually are is a huge step forward in terms of how we deal with illness and disease. That simple step changes everything, I know because I have seen it happen for a lot of people.
‘This experience came from the way I approached breast cancer, in that it wasn’t something to ‘just get through’ but an opportunity to stop and reflect on how I was living in every area of my life, particularly in regards to how I treated myself and was towards my family.’ Julie your level of responsibility towards yourself and your children is very inspirational. This is a beautiful account of your appreciation for Serge Benhayon, his family, Universal Medicine and all that they bring. ✨
Very true Kathryn, the way Julie has chosen to stop and reflect on the way she was living and the impact of that is very inspirational. Often the response is to ‘beat the disease’ but Julie instead chose to stop and listen to the very loud and clear message her body was giving her that all was not right. The decision to address everything she had up until that point built her life upon takes courage and wisdom, which has now provided her with a tried and tested experience with which to truly support others.
Yes it is so very true … Serge Benhayon has offered us the awareness to changed everything in our lives that hasn’t been loving and supportive. One person offering such profound living wisdom has assisted many to choose a quality of life that supports well-being and vitality in health and relationships.
The brilliant part is with our own developing wisdoms we reflect this to others. People can see and feel for themselves that the choices we make in our daily lives support much beyond the normal daily function that many people experience.
Hi Julie, thank you for sharing your story and how Serge Benhayon has been such an inspiration to you. I can see the ripple effect, because you too are now an inspiration to others. I love how you shared about not using conventional medicine, not even for a headache, as I too, was stuck in a similar belief. I had invested my time and money and studied for a diploma in Herbal Medicine so I would not allow myself the care and support that conventional medicine offers. My mind set was so strong and stubborn it was like I had blinkers on and I would not go there or be open at all.
With the support and inspiration by Serge Benhayon, and many others, I have changed that stubborn mind set and allowed myself to see that there are many ways.
I now use not just conventional medicine as a form of supporting my body, but I use Esoteric therapies as a complement to them and sometimes some herbal support if it feels right, with adjusting my nutritional requirements when needed.
I can also relate to what you shared about being a 24 hour mother, as I also got lost in that identification and forgot that I was a woman first and foremost, and one of my roles and responsibilities was being a mother, but that was not who I am.
Rosie the ripple effect you share here is really incredible, the more I stop and reflect on it I can see that millions of people have been touched with the livingness, the love, the commitment and the strength that Serge Benhayon lives by and has inspired in others, who in turn inspire others and so on.
I agree David. It is huge.
I find it interesting how once we go down the complementary therapy route that this becomes the only way and conventional medicine is so often discarded. Why is this so when it has so much to offer in terms of our physical being? Why do we develop an arrogance that we know it all when actually we are being sold short what really helps us look after our bodies in full?
What zi learnt was that Universal Medicine offers everything as a whole, which means I could look at myself as a whole and address what is physically happening, as well as the energy behind what causes the behaviours and therefore issues to occur. As Raymond Karam comments it is about being given the facts, ALL the facts and a place to start is Universal Medicine.
Very good point Julie – we are so quick to develop an arrogance when we think we know the ‘answer’.. A perfect example is the one you have given about how when people start going down the alternative therapy path, they are often very quick to dismiss conventional medicine.
With so many people speaking of the profound changes in their lives for the better of them and those around them, how can there be any doubt of anything related to Serge Benhayon. People need to look deeper at anything that detracts from the integrity of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, because it is simply not true. Don’t take my word for it, look at the thousands of comments from real people on these blogs and sites. They are not pedestaling him, but letting the world know that by introducing self care and self responsibility into their lives from the teachings of Universal Medicine, their lives have truly changed, significantly in most. This is not about selling anything either but giving you the facts, you want change, had enough, want more from life? then you are being given a place to start, Universal Medicine. Thank you Julie.
Absolutely Ray. Those 1000’s of comments are living proof, living evidence if you will, of the truth of what Serge Benhayon presents and lives. Rather than detracting the world should be asking for more.
Well summed up Ray
And giving back so much to those around every day.
I wonder how many of us truly see others as equal to themselves and are able to treat everyone the same regardless of who they are. That is a quality that Serge Benhayon has in abundance, and hearing him speak has been a game changer for me, as he spoke to me, as he does for all, of a common sense way of living that I abandoned but am now returning too. Reading your account Julie it is great to hear how positive your experience has also been and how supportive Serge was in your healing from breast cancer.
Very true Stephen, the ability to treat all equally is a rare quality and one that Serge Benhayon has oodles of, without a doubt. Hearing him speak, listening to his shared wisdom, applying his suggestions has worked miracles in my life and many, many other peoples lives to. We are the ‘proof of the pudding’ so to speak, walking miracles that show the world the power and truth of what Serge presents, that there is another way to live life, as you say a way that we have abandoned and are returning to that brings great healing and love. Julie’s experience is a clear example of what true support really looks like, one person supporting and encouraging another to truly nurture and cherish themselves because they are worth it.
I Love this article. I look forward to the day when Conventional Medicine and Esoteric Medicine are working hand in hand and we will see such an incredible change in the over all ” Wellness” of everyone.
Absolutely Simon, as this relationship develops I can imagine Medicine looking more to addressing the underlying issues of illness and disease and the prevention aspect becoming way more important.
I agree Simon, and if the changes that I have seen before my eyes are an indication of how effective Esoteric therapies as taught by Universal Medicine are, then I know wellness is on the horizon for those who choose.
Very true Simon – they work hand in hand for me because I make sure of it. This combination along with a big dose of responsibility is the best medicine there is.
Thank you for your great article Julie, you have so beautifully taken the words right out of my mouth in the paragraph below so I have reprinted it.
“My life and the responsibility I take in it towards myself, my choices, my family, friends and work is unrecognisable from how life used to be. I have also witnessed this for many, many other people I know. This is down to one man who has simply, openly shared and presented how he lives his life, all of which makes sense, and he has never watered this down in fear of how it might upset another. He has met, accepted and understood me on every level, even at times when I have not been able to do so myself! His way is unimposing and is only ever loving, which means I have chosen to make changes for myself in my own time with no sense of pressure – all of these unique qualities I had not felt previously in anyone else I had met through my life.”
Like your self Julie I am forever truly appreciative to this one man, Serge Benhayon and his family for their on going love and support in my life.
It’s interesting to read how strong mental stances can be shed when one can see how they’re denying themselves. To forego medical treatment for many years, then reverse such a position in the name of self-care and love, speaks volumes to which the author reconnected in order to make such a choice. That’s great.
So true Oliver. When we nurture and develop self care and self love for ourselves, the hardness that such strongly held heady beliefs that harden the mind and the body fall away. Beautiful to read and feel this from this blog.
I notice how I often play life small but this blog shows that it just takes one amazing man to stand up for Truth and it changes the everything. Very inspiring.
I agree Susan, this one very amazing man has made such a difference to many peoples lives by just living a true life in dedication and commitment to serving humanity. He is truly loved by many and an inspiration to all he meets.
Julie like you, “when I first met Serge Benhayon I heard him talk and be very positive about conventional medicine” I had also never come across this in any complementary therapy presentation I had previously heard. Before hearing Serge present, I was very anti conventional medicine and quite disgusted at the way that useful research was hidden and not readily available if there was no money in it for the pharmaceutical companies. However, Serge’s presentations inspired me to look at conventional medicine in a new light. I now combine complementary modalities with conventional medicine and would not do it any other way, so long as the complementary therapies come from the esoteric.
I love the way Serge is able to say the facts of the illness and disease rates and also share that there is a place for conventional medicine and esoteric therapies to work together as a holistic form of medicine.
Yes this is true Johanna, always in Serge Benhayon’s presentations he talks of both kinds of medicine and the health issue and how conventional medicine can support this very well and also how and why any of the esoteric modalities can work with and heal the body and our well being. It would not make sense and no longer feels True to not have both perspectives.
Your blog is so beautiful & inspiring Julie, thank you. On re-reading what stood out for me is that discussions with Serge Benhayon supported you to be clearer about your health and what was needed to support your body during your breast cancer and thus you choose to return to using western medicine. This is an amazing turn around given the fact that you were so against seeking support from the medical profession for years. I have found in my life that the esoteric healing therapies are an amazing way for me to support my health in conjunction to using western medicine when I need it. I am also learning that my daily choices are medicine and have felt the absolute truth that Esoteric Medicine and the Esoteric Healing Therapies are a very powerful complement to Western Medicine. I have much appreciation for Serge Benhayon in teaching the Esoteric Healing Therapies as they have had a profound impact on my health and well being.
As you say Julie, the amazing support that Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine offer is never about self-recognition but always about what is truly needed, and does not hesitate to include conventional medicine. As the quote in the header of this website says ‘The marriage of Western Medicine and Esoteric Medicine is the greatest union that will serve humanity’ – Serge Benhayon.
I totally agree Jenny, with over 10 years of observing how Serge Benhayon lives, when he presents Universal Medicine teachings I have noticed that there is not an ounce of self-recognition – only every what is truly needed. How Serge holds humanity at the fore front and knows what needs to be delivered to support what humanity needs. The encouragement of western medicine for when it is needed is also refreshing and very much recommended.
Such a beautiful read, Julie. How awesome that you were able to see and embrace, nurture, honor and love yourself as the woman first, and not focusing on the disease
process as I’m sure so many woman with breast cancer do, and so too society.
What a true inspiration you are for other woman with breast cancer.
The unimposing, acceptance, understanding and love that Serge Benhayon has shared has allowed me to make choices, in my own time, that have transformed my life and I am deeply grateful.
This is true for me too Ruth, Serge Benhayon allows choices to be made in our own time, that way they become true and lasting choices which lead to transformation and true healing.
Yes well said Ruth. Serge has enormous grace when it comes to allowing another to make a choice in our own time, to find our own relationship with our bodies and inner connection. Nothing is forced, no-one is coerced, there are never any demands, just a constant and unwavering living adherence to love that continually reminds us that we are worth every ounce of loving care we can muster.
Beautifully expressed Ruth, I can relate to what you share too.
I couldn’t have said it better – BEAUTIFUL 🙂
Lovely Ruth. The unimposing nature of what Universal Medicine presents allows people to maKe changes in their own time and from their own learning. This is how true change and evolution comes about.
Julie this is a great blog and I love how you share you are now open to see and utilise the support that conventional medicine brings. It is also very inspiring to read how you write with such honesty, and that it has been down to the choices you have made each day in how you live that has brought about such change, inspired by Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and his family.
Lovely article Julie. I too take more care of myself than I ever have and I do so relate to your comment that Serge Benhayon saw you as a women first – your were not the disease.
That’s a strong and true statement… “You were not the disease.” We get sidetracked into thinking the disease is who we are and by knowing we get sick from our choices changes everything.
That’s is the key word here – to not identify people by what they present to us, be it dis-ease or anything other than love, but to see them who they truly are – and meet them with the love we/they hold within.
Your comment made me stop and really feel it, my body just melted. Thank you Karina.
I agree Karina…and then just step back and notice how people begin to change when they are treated like this similar to how I changed when I experienced this level of acceptance and love.
Julie, you certainly have changed many aspects of your life for the better. What Serge Benhayon is presenting is real and tangible you can live in everyday life and not some ideal that nobody can live up to. Julie you are living proof of that.
So inspiring to read the changes you have made in your life Julie. Beautiful to feel your sense of worth and how you now hold yourself with such deep care and love. Thank you for sharing.
‘I grew to learn that being in a family was not about controlling or imposing on my children, to be and become all that I would like them to be, but rather to share love and care towards myself, then this would happen naturally in the family, as they could accept and be themselves. ‘ I love this Julie. It feels so loving to yourself and your family to learn to live by example in this way.
Thank you Julie – there is such joy in feeling such appreciation of self and of another who has really been there for us. This I can relate to and also get such a strong sense of in your article. When I look back on my life, I too can see how much I have changed and embraced so much more of myself and the world that we live in – by committing to work and living life in general – and most of this I can say is thanks to the support, understanding and living examples of utmost inspiration given to us all by Serge Benhayon, his family and others from Universal medicine.
Hear, hear, Henrietta I agree. My life has changed so much since meeting Serge Benhayon, his family and colleagues. My commitment to every thing in my life has changed, deepened and hence become much more rewarding. Now I work more, engage more and give more than I ever have and it is a direct consequence of my engagement with Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, a man who completely walks his talk and shares his wisdom for all to learn by.
Thank you for this gorgeous blog Julie. The inspiration offered by Serge Benhayon and his family on how to be so simply loving and caring towards ourselves and hence others is immense. I love what you share about how you have turned your relationship around with yourself as a mother, and therefore your children. It’s so simple isn’t it, and yet we complicate our roles and put so much pressure on ourselves to get it right and lose ourselves in the process. And our children no longer have before them their gorgeous mother, but a shell of a woman who is exhausted, run down and drained with little to give of herself. And then we wonder why relationships become strained… Serge Benhayon and his family are a living example of a family living in bounds of love and joy from bring truly loving with themselves first.
Julie I love reading your blog- it is so affirming of how far our family has come as well and the support we have had from Serge from afar has been amazing.
Thank you Julie, beautiful to read.
It is so grateful to be met as a woman first , with all the love and equalness and then to face desease or whatever choices we have made.
It is simple a great invitation to come back to love.
Like you, Julie, I take far more care of myself now than I have ever done before. It’s an ever growing experience of awareness of what truly taking care of myself means. Serge Benhayon, the practitioners and fellow students inspired and continue to inspire me to do this.
I am also being enlightened as to what truly taking care of myself means, Irene, having spent most of my life with no idea whatsoever, and a great deal of disregard of myself and especially my body. To be guided gently to accept that we are worth that tender loving attention of ourselves is something I have never experienced from anyone else except Serge Benhayon.
I didn’t have any idea either Joan. Since meeting Serge Benhayon I am discovering how giving myself ‘tender loving attention’ feels. And it’s good. Better than good really, because the more loving care I give myself, the more my body responds, and good becomes gorgeous.
Yes Irene, Universal Medicine gives a whole new meaning to what it means to take care of ourselves. I find that I can resist this new level of awareness, but when I do make the effort to deeply care for myself I feel absolutely amazing, and the resistance to this feels utterly ridiculous.
I hear you Rebecca it is so crazy when we resist deepening our self love and self care as like you say when we are deeply loving with ourselves everything feels amazing.
Me too. Serge Benhayon and the way he has inspired many others to live truer, fuller and vital lives is amazing. He is definitely someone who will be studied and in the records of history for his love and dedication to humanity and the beautiful part is that many others are now living inspirations because of him – allowing this work to unendingly live on.
Hi Julie, I really love the way that you have described making such changes for yourself, with out the pressure from anyone else. You just felt to do it because you could feel that you are worth more.
Shami, I agree I too ‘love the way you have described making such changes for yourself’ Julie, ‘you just felt to do it because you felt you are worth more’, gorgeous and simple. I have been feeling this more for myself too, it feels great to feel that I am worth caring for and looking after, after many years of disregard and not caring for myself.
Very true Shami and Rebecca, it is beautiful the way that Julie made the choice to cherish herself, guided by a quality within that she chose to honour, with no pressure from another to do so. It demonstrates just how much we learn by example and what we feel and see in other people rather than what we are told we must do.
Thank you for sharing Julie – a true change you have been inspired to make that brings so much more vitality and love to your life. That is so wonderful to read!
I agree, we are so used to being bombarded with negative stories in the media – the changes Julie has experienced are completely against the trends, and it’s wonderful to read.
So true Rebecca, we are so bombarded with negative stories that when we read or hear about positive experiences someone is having regarding life choices that we are suspicious. Unless of cause if we learn to feel into and discern from our own bodies what is true or not.
I agree Jenny, and not only are we suspicious, unfortunately we are at a point where we don’t find the stories interesting, preferring drama and scandal over real life miracles
Thank you Julie what a wonderful article so much healing and growing and responsibility.
Mothers of the world, please read what Julie has shared here! “Being a mother does not mean sacrificing myself as I was previously doing, having no respect for my body in how I treated myself.” And the things a woman can do to bring herself back to self-worth and true wellbeing. Perhaps when this message has filtered through to enough women, we might see a drop in the rates of breast cancer and other illnesses.
Very true Nicole, the way they live is highly contagious and easily caught when one spends time with them. The way they choose to live is very natural and is very naturally within us too, as you say we just need to choose it for ourselves and let it flow.
‘This experience came from the way I approached breast cancer, in that it wasn’t something to ‘just get through’ but an opportunity to stop and reflect on how I was living in every area of my life, particularly in regards to how I treated myself and was towards my family’
Julie this is the kind of inspirational story that we should be reading in the news when it comes to breast cancer. It confirms a responsiblity and care that we don’t often hear about. Thank you so much for sharing.
Julie, such an inspiring article that needs to be read by all.
Dear Julie I read your article and can relate to everything you have shared including the diagnosis of breast cancer. I was so angry in the beginning that I refused and resisted medical treatment for 6 weeks. However, with the support of Serge, I came to realise that I needed to have medical treatment as part of my healing, the part in owning and taking responsiblitiy for all my past choices that had led to the diganosis in the first place.
That first baby step was already huge healing for me…Subsquently, I had also a very positive experience with the combination of my medical treatment together with the esoteric healing sessions which gave me so much support which previously I was not able to ask for because I was living the belief: ‘I can do everything on my own’, thus I never asked for help or support and struggled on, never knowing or gaining the awareness of how to change this old pattern of mine.
There is much for me to deeply appreciate for all the consistent loving choices I have made during and since that time that today I feel I am a completely different woman, a woman who has come to understand that every single choice made comes back to you in one way or another, and sometimes right in your face. I was blessed to meet Serge Benhayon when I did, for without his loving and gentle support my story would be of a very different flavour.
Thankyou for sharing this Julie – I also feel this way about my life changes – meeting Serge was such an ‘equal and loving’ experience – it was a delight to finally be truly met and seen for who I was – it took me a few years to realize what it was – seen for my inner beauty and not for all the drama, struggle and victim layers I had covered myself with – as Fiona says – ‘ imagine what we could all do together,’ by simply committing to being energetically responsible and loving in all aspects of our lives – starting with loving and accepting ourselves.
Thank you Julie for sharing your inspiring journey with us. Plus the Loving changes you have made, thanks as you say to one man (Serge Benhayon) and his unwavering support and Love as you took responsibility for your decisions to make those changes. I also totally agree with Fiona’s comments especially “imagine what we could all do together.”
This is such an inspiring story. I’ve become very humble and feeling touched by your beautiful sharing Julie. It is remarkable how you’ve chosen to change your life. And I do agree this could be an inspiration for so many women suffering from breast cancer. And actually, all women. Because you’ve not only survived breast cancer, also re-set your life by making so many different choices. As I said before: INSPIRING.
Julie as remarkable as Serge Benhayon is, we will each eventually choose to live in exactly the same way. His way is our way.
If one man like Serge Benhayon can change so much, I sit and ponder if we all lived by this same reflection, how would this world be, how much change we could bring!
Amita pondering on that certainly inspires purpose and urgency as the world most certainly needs to change – perhaps more correctly we need to change the way we live in the world.
‘One man who has changed everything ‘, I could read this everyday and agree and say the same. Thank you Julie for this lovely sharing about Serge Benhayon a beautiful inspirational Man who has deeply changed and touches the lives of so many. What Serge offers to us is the real medicine in all its support and responsibility for ourselves and a deep understanding of the truth and what is really going on. Consistency Responsibility and Love are simply offered to reflect on and a way of being.
Thank you for sharing Julie. Your line “He has met, accepted and understood me on every level, even at times when I have not been able to do so myself!” to me sums up Serge’s unique quality.
Julie, humanity need to read your fantastic blog and it should appear in medical magazines too. This is history in the making – Conventional Medicine and Universal Medicine working together closely for prevention and treatment of illness and disease. It is important to understand that Universal Medicine (energy medicine) is not alternative but complementary to Conventional Medicine, both playing there unique part in human health.
Thank you Julie for such an inspiring testimonial.
I couldn’t agree more Maryline. The combining of Universal Medicine and conventional medicine is indeed the true way forward for humanity. It is the game changer for the prevention and treatment of illness and disease.
This is a great sharing Julie and offers huge support to many. An article for front page news as so many people could relate to what you share and to know that there is another way and that they do not have to be consumed by life but are able to navigate a way through even the most challenging situations as you have done so is a valuable sharing.
“I had accepted it was normal for me to be living constantly feeling tired and then regularly using alcohol and certain foods to bring comfort and relief to the lousy choices I was making.”
This is such a familiar situation and to know there is a different way is a true treasure for all. My life was as the above until I met Serge Benhayon and his family and realised that there is another way to live and a way that truly supports us and all with allowing the simplicity of loving choices to be our way. Beautiful, thank you again Julie for sharing your treasure.
So true, Nicole, the choice is ours, no one can do it for us.What a choice too, the best one I ever made.
I just stopped to re-read this title. “One man has changed everything”. How remarkable (and at the same time so normal and ordinary) must Serge Benhayon be to have changed so many lives? If one man can do all this simply by committing to being energetically responsible and to being loving in all aspects of his life, imagine what we could all do together.
Fiona, It is remarkable how Serge has inspired many people to make changes in their lives but yet at the same time there is no rah rah involved in this process which is what makes the changes we’ve made seem ‘normal and ordinary’. It is simply like we have been running along in life down a road in a way we see as normal because that is what everyone is doing and then there comes a time when something else stands before us, in this case Serge Benhayon or really an aspect of ourselves we had forgotten, and there is a fork in the road to choose another way and when and if we turn this way, we realise we could have taken that route all along. Though some changes on this road may feel challenging they now feel necessary and the only way to be. So absolutely yes as more people choose this way to live as Serge Benahyon and his family have so too will others return to the True road in life.
The title stood out for me too Fiona. Serge Benhayon was the catalyst for change in the world and there are now many who are living by his example. The world will be unimaginably glorious when we all commit to love, I feel sure of that. Yes, “One man has changed everything”, but together we can change everything too.
Thank you Julie for sharing this unfoldment of your true awesomeness with us. I too, share your complete awe and appreciation of Serge Benhayon’s unwavering commitment to humanity.
Me too Greg (and Julie) – it does leave one in awe when truly fathoming the depth of commitment Serge Benhayon continues to uphold to all of humanity.
You really do hit the nail on the head, Julie, in pointing out one of the many ways in which Serge Benhayon is very different to other complementary medicine practitioners, in pointing out that:
‘When I first met Serge Benhayon I heard him talk and be very positive about conventional medicine – something I had never come across ever in any complementary therapy presentation.’
Serge presents first and foremost responsibility – taking responsibility for ourselves, so that we can fulfil our responsibility to others. As such, he presents – and has always presented – that when we get sick, the responsible thing to do is to seek appropriate medical help, which can support us to get better.
It felt a real privilege to read your inspiring blog, Julie. It is a blessing to the world in it’s simplicity and clarity and it just made such beautiful sense. It is amazing when we realise that life can be simple – or that is how it was for me. For so long I had made it complicated and now I realise that this was so draining and sapping of my life force. With the inspiration of Serge Benhayon I too have found that life is as truly amazing as I choose in any moment of the day.
‘I have a relationship with my body and know how to treat it with care’ this is something we all need to know, and the fact that you include conventional medicine in that care package is very important – anyone who criticises conventional medicine is missing out on a valuable resource. Combining self care with medical care works.
this is so true Carmel,”..anyone who criticises conventional medicine is missing out on a valuable resource.”
Hi Julie there is so much good stuff in this blog, you do a great job of summing up what a truly great man Serge Benhayon is. Before Serge and family came along I didn’t know what love was, I only had some watered down emotional version of it. This in itself changed everything.
This is beautiful Julie and to me speaks of the blessing of cancer and not the ‘curse’ it so often is referred to as. From this point it feels like a window opened and you were able to see things as they truly are – with the love and support of one who walks with such an open and understanding heart. True grace.
There’s a comment here to be made about volunteerism too. It’s amazing to see how Julie went from very much ‘behind the 8 ball’ to ‘full steam ahead’ with her commitment to humanity as demonstrated by the tasks she now engages in. But she took care to get her own house in order first, and in all aspects. Self-care first and foremost before attempting to care for others – a beautiful rule of thumb and one which results in true role-modelling for others.
Great point Victoria. With self-care as a foundation for all those who care for others in the many different ways this is possible, then the quality of care that is given to others is taken to a whole new level.
Absolutely Victoria – through Julie’s commitment to herself, her family and home, she was able to go ‘full steam ahead’ with supporting humanity.
Dear Julie, your life and story is a powerful testament to choice and taking personal responsibility. Serge has been the man to teach these principles without deviation for 15 years now. Your journey will inspire others to begin to examine their choices also. Thanks for sharing with me your story.
That’s awesome Julie, thanks for sharing.
How truly inspirational you are and yes Serge is such a blessing to us all with him and those around us we have such support.
I look forward to opening up more and embracing the responsibilities that come my way.
I love your analogy of the way Serge lives being true charity – because that is exactly what it is, his inexhaustible ability to care for everyone no matter their position in life. He tirelessly gives back to people, not for recognition, praise or money but because his care for people is above and beyond all that most people experience – truly inspiring.
For the most part, even the most selfless-seeming of charitable acts are driven by self – even if it is just for that ‘warm inner glow’. Serge Benhayon has changed the game with his approach, and many of us are now learning from his example: true charity does not contain an ounce of self – be it self-interest, self-satisfaction, self-gain, an identity or role or the recognition of others. True charity is about responding to what is truly needed – not simply offering solutions that change little or nothing – and can only be enacted when one has mastered enough of oneself to not to need anything that makes us feel better about the world, our lives or ourselves.
I agree Victoria, so much charity that we have today is simply a band aid, as soon as you plug up one hole another appears because a true answer is not being sought.
That’s a great description Rebecca – very apt. If charity’s been around for a long, long time – and it has – why are things worse?
This is unique in the world today, isn’t it Rebecca! I don’t know of many people who give to others so whole heartily, with no personal agenda what-so-ever. (Even the ones that look like they do still get something from it like “the feel good factor”). Serge Benhayon epitomises the true meaning of the word charity.
I agree Rachel, we have come to accept a level of charity that carries within it corruption – so few people can truly say that their actions in life are not to better themselves or be recognised and praised, and yet it is not to be selfless in a disregarding way, but selfless in a way that looks after yourself and others equally.
“I was not the disease but rather me as a woman first.” – Such an important point Julie.
So true Natalie. To reach the point where we can feel who we are before anything else is the way we all can live, with or without an illness. Before we are woman or man we are soul. It is a beautiful way to live.
One man has changed everything, I absolutely agree. And not by writing clever books or telling anybody what to do, but simply by his living way.
Yes spot on Esther, not by trying to impress or being clever, but by bringing his wisdom and love into everything he does, every relationship he has, bringing love into the everyday things we all have to do.
Yes Esther, and he has done this by staying connected with humanity, not putting himself on a pedestal, and relating as an equal human being.
Thanks Julie, that’s amazingly shared. It’s is extraordinary the ripple effect that one man can have… so many people’s stories like this and it continually blows me away the strength and power we have, when we choose to express who we are with everyone, in this case, what Serge Benhayon has done for us all.
One man has changed everything. This is true Julie, Serge Benhayon has single handedly changed the world, just as you have done. By making the changes, allowing for the inspiration and healing to live in a different way, you have forever changed the way people can deal with a life threatening disease by offering your lived experience. Changing the world really does all come down to changing the way we choose to live.
It is true we all can outwardly live the changes that we have made in our lives, inspired by Serge Benhayon. Julie you are such a real life inspiration and this must give new awareness of what is possible to many people in your broader community. I’m becoming more and more aware how much we all have to share with our communities from our own inspirational way we have each chosen to now live our lives.
So true Sandra – we have much to share in our communities everywhere, as I too an now stepping out into the greater community.
Something extraordinary, yet so obvious struck me reading your blog Julie. It was this line:
“This is down to one man who has simply, openly shared and presented how he lives his life, all of which makes sense, and he has never watered this down in fear of how it might upset another.”
Serge has been quoted saying he knows more than any scientist….and he does. This statement is absolutely to the letter correct…he does know more, because all that he knows comes from his body and the way he lives. Serge is the embodiment of wisdom, he is not a talking head, full of great ideas that do not touch life. That is why he is a joy to be around.
He is a man who has inspired thousands to change their lives. Thank you for recording your change, so that all may know of this simple recipe for a true life.
Beautifully said Rachel, Serge Benhayon is a joy to be around, always. He does not talk from knowledge and nor does he claim to have the answer. What Serge does do is to live his wisdom, he turns theories into living principles that have inspired so many, me included to change their choices and lifestyle based on what is correct for the individual. Julie is a superb example of what can be achieved when we apply the inspiration to our own lives.
Rachel you have really put your finger on it. ” Serge is the embodiment of wisdom”. “All that he knows comes from his body and the way he lives”. This is what makes him special and truly unique in a world where “academic knowledge” is given so much importance. As you say he is truly Inspirational!
Thank you Julie for your very important sharing of how one man really has changed everything for so many of us also.Health, vitality ,well being with the deep honesty and knowing shown to us all that we all can live .He is simply inspirational and the only true way and allows the real joy, harmony and loveliness we all know deep inside we are to shine out and just be who we are with no compromises and beliefs to hold us back
The depth of your appreciation for what Serge Benhayon has inspired in you is touching. I can feel just how much Serge and his family have helped me to make loving choices too and the flow-back into my life is incredible. He has touched so many lives – I enjoyed hearing your story Julie.
Many of us live with a level of disregard that is so harming and holds us back from living a full life like the one you are describing as living now. This is a very inspiring sharing and let’s us see what is possible if we begin to become more aware of how we are living and the impact this has on us and if we are willing to begin to make changes and become more honest with ourselves. As Serge Benhayon has been a support to you I can feel what a support you also are for others. Thank you for writing this blog Julie.
Yes well said Elaine, so many people have accepted a lesser quality of life and make decisions and choices about themselves based on this depressed quality – I know I did. We are worth so much more, as Julie’s journey demonstrates. What is so glorious is that Julie has not just kept the love that Serge Benhayon has given to herself, she is as you say, now being a true support for others too, sharing the wisdom of self love and self care with others in the scary situation of facing breast cancer.
Thank you for your inspirational blog Julie. I agree with what others have said, and that is that by sharing your story you may help others who are in a similar position to where you were.
Serge and family have been an inspiration to me as well. What is great about your story Julie, is that this blog has all the ingredients to inspire others too. A wave of change is spreading from this inspirational story, and countless others just like it.
Thank you for sharing your storie Julie. It is often the case that people who practice or use “alternative” medicine are anti conventional medicine or only use it reluctantly as a last resort. Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine offer the only truly complementary modalities that I have seen – actively working with conventional medicine to support the person. The impact Serge has had on my life is also transformational.
Hi Julie this blog makes you consider that if one man can change your life from the other side of the world, then what is our true potential….is it way beyond anything that society currently has lead us to believe is possible? The changes that you have made over the last 9 years are hugely inspiring, I really enjoy your writing and look forward to reading more.
Very true Sarah, if one man can have this sort of effect on a person’s health and approach to such a serious and life threatening disease, then what can happen if others begin doing the same? Serge Benhayon offers us all the opportunity to be this too, to inspire and support others to choose love for themselves. The changes Julie has made are truly inspiring and who knows how far this inspiration will travel in her work to support others facing the same situation.
So true Elizabeth, as Serge Benhayon has inspired us by the way he lives and the love he offers all equally, many people around the world are now living in a more loving way, which in turn, inspires those around them.
It feels like the ripples of love radiate out, continue to build, and gently carry along all that are ready to let go of what they are not and return to the glory of who they truly are.
And the ripples are growing in strength and number.
Your words Julie and the many who have commented are the living proof that one person can and does impact on the lives of countless others around them. That commitment of love towards everyone without waver or change is not rah rah’ed or hyped up, because it is lived in such a way that says ‘this is normal’ and because it is not hyped up or sold, it allows the space for us to approach it and re-adopt it in our own time.
Where would my life be today if I had not be introduced to Serge Benhayon? I shudder to think, it makes more sense to instead focus on the fact that I now no longer see the world and even my own self and body as something to loathe and avoid, but to enjoy, because there is living proof in my life that love is real and can be felt. At first it was only from others, but slowly slowly it is also starting to be felt and claimed as coming from myself equally so.
‘there is living proof in my life that love is real and can be felt’. I love this line Leigh.
Very beautifully put Leigh. It’s true, the love that Serge lives and offers all equally everyday seems very normal in his world and slowly as we observe and put into practice what we see, it is becoming our normal too. How beautiful to be feeling the love flowing from your self having been so full of self loathing – a true miracle and one that is available to anyone with the willingness to address their arrogance and heal their hurts.
Until now I never really took much notice of the word Miracle, let alone any context in which it would apply to myself. But to actually love and care for myself, though daily awareness and seeking support, regardless of the roads of misery I have walked in the past, can be nothing but short of an act or event of divinity. Miracles do occur because there is an aspect of us that is divine, that’s pretty cool. Thank You Rowena.
True healing. Inspiring sharing Julie.
Thank you for sharing so openly Julie. What you say of Serge and Benhayon family is very true.
I have often heard it said that to change the world you start with one person. Just as one man – Serge Benhayon, has changed your life you can now do that for another. Writing about your experience like you have gives another an opportunity to change their life around. Thank you Julie.
This is so true Elizabeth. we often think we as individuals are powerless, but that is not true. We can all have a huge impact by just making small changes to our own lives like Julie has, and we can all inspire others, just as Serge Benhayon has inspired Julie.
Yes, so true. I am literally blown away by the inspiration Serge Benhayon has offered. He has single handedly helped to turn around the lives of what must be thousands. In the understanding of what he has shared and offered me I know that if I choose it, the quality in which I live can inspire many more. I also know that this inspiration is constantly being reinforced and upheld by all the stories I hear from the student body which I have started to accept as normal. However for the majority, cases such as Julie’s are remarkable and need to be shared publicly – each one in itself a game changer and inspiration to all.
Wow Elizabeth, I can just feel that ripple effect the power of love has on the world – and the story started here with Serge Benhayon.
So beautifully said Elizabeth. Change does start with one person. One person standing up against the so called norm and showing there is another way to live – thank you Julie for your inspiration. And thank you Serge Benhayon for being the change agent the world needs right now.
I fully agree Elizabeth and Sandra – “Change does start with one person”. It is through Serge Benhayon’s consistency over the past 15 years that have inspired many thousands of people and shown us all that there is another more loving way to live, one we all wanted, at least I did, but never knew was possible.
I agree Bernard, cancer is so prevalent everywhere and comes with a fear and so much devastation, that to hear about positive experiences such as Julie’s would give a completely different perspective on how to be with this disease.
A moment to ponder where I might have been now if I had not met Serge Benhayon and from that unfathomable appreciation. Thank you, Julie.
It is a timely reminder and something worthwhile doing taking “a moment to ponder where I might have been now if I had not met Serge Benhayon”. I was on an extremely self-destructive path, depressed, uncommitted and unhappy with life, I was always thinking of ways to bring excitement to my life – there were extreme moods swings, the highs and lows – on the lines of bipolar – without it being quite that extreme. I know I would have continued on the same path and would certainly not be living the way I am today if I had not met Serge Benhayon, I dread to think where I would be or what I would be doing!
Good question: were would I be “if I had not met Serge Benhayon”? I am quite sure I would be dead. Died on Asthma, overweight and died on “given up”. Instead of this I am not just alive – I am a vital, beautiful, inspiring, joyful, healthy woman with lovely, deep relationships. Thank you Serge! And thank you Julie & Matilda for inspiring me to become aware of this magnificent turn around of my life!
The same for me Matilda… where would I be without the immense support and wisdom for well over 10 years now. My health and the simple joy of daily life would certainly not be part of my life.
Same for me Doug and Matilda. Had I not met Serge Benhayon I would have probably run away to spend the rest of my life in some reclusive ashram away from everything and everyone, because I was so exhausted, anxious and overwhelmed with life and the day to day pressures we are faced with. I would have shunned myself away in order to ‘cope’. Whereas now I live a full and actively engaged in community life, with a steadiness and vitality that I could not have dreamed of some years ago before I came across Universal Medicine.
Truly a moment to ponder, I would like to say that Serge Benhayon is a true saviour, but really he has inspired us to save ourselves. He has shown us The Way and we have chosen to take it, one step at a time…
Appreciation beyond words from me.
Lovely expression Sandra – “He has shown us The Way and we have chosen to take it, one step at a time…” and that is all it takes and it will gain momentum from there.
And that he has done, and as you say, we have chosen to ‘do the work’. By claiming this we truly evolve.
I asked myself this recently after a Universal Medicine healing course and reflected on just how messy my life was before I met Serge Benhayon, and how I was on a perpetual emotional roller coaster which created havoc with my health.
Very inspiring and beautifully expressed. Thanks Julie.
Lovely to read your story, Julie, what a wonderful turn around from the way you were previously living. Beautiful that you have had a positive experience with the life threatening disease, and all the conventional medicine that you allowed yourself to accept. This has been a great sharing for all women, as well as their families.
I too have changed my life immensely since I encountered Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, now over 8 years ago. I have so much more vitality and love of and confidence in myself, as well as an amazing love for all humanity now – a very different woman to that of over 8 years ago. I was such a contracted, lonely old woman before I met Serge.
Very inspiring blog, thank you Julie. An amazing journey and awesome support you received. Your loving choices to change the way you live and your acceptance to receiving conventional medicine and healing is truly inspirational. I also had similar reservations previously around seeking help from the medical system. Now I understand that the current medical system is not perfect but it certainly can assist in healing if I am open to it.
Julie you need to share this story with the world. I mean you had a positive experience with a life threatening disease, I bet the cancer wards are full of people in suffering and fear who would love to hear about this.
I agree Bernard – there are not many people who can say that they have had a positive experience with cancer, by embracing it and not fighting it Julie – the world sure does need to hear your story.
Absolutely, I agree, share it with the world. not just about the cancer though, such an inspiration with your connection with your family Julie. A joy to read your blog. Thank you.
I agree Julie. Your story is supportive and inspirational. Awesome for anyone with a life threatening disease. In fact for every single person, the way you share about your life is immensely insightful and inspiring.
Thanks Julie, your story is very inspirational in how you have chosen to live a different way, and also how you have embraced conventional medicine as a way to support you in your healing. You’re right, Serge Benhayon one man has changed everything!
Serge’s way is unimposing and is only ever loving, which allows us to choose and make changes for ourselves in own time with no sense of pressure. He just lives and reflects and through his livingness inspires us all.
I agree Amita, being met with Serge’s love, allows us the space to reflect on our life choices.
A great blog Julie. “Being a mother does not mean sacrificing myself as I was previously doing, having no respect for my body in how I treated myself. I had accepted it was normal for me to be living constantly feeling tired.” I can relate to this, having been a single mother for many years. I always put my children- and nearly everybody else – first. After being introduced to Universal Medicine I have learnt that there is always a choice to be made, and that it is not selfish to look after and love yourself first. The ‘martyr’ syndrome is extremely wearing to live with and not a good role model for children to follow!
Indeed sueq2012, the martyr syndrome is so common and I have seen it played out in many families including mine. Everybody is affected : children, women and men and nobody gains from seeing a woman not being fully who she really is.
The importance of true relationships and the power that they bring is highlighted so well in this article. Something humanity is greatly lacking.
Arianne, it doesn’t get clearer, or more simple that you have expressed… “that we don’t need to change people, just ourselves.” One man has inspired so many people to look inward, reflect on their choices and make changes to their lives that have been profound!
It is amazing how people have changed their lives from knowing and being inspired by Serge Benhayon. I particularly liked your comment “family was not about controlling and imposing”, this makes sense as nobody responds to this. We are all very sensitive. And that Respect is a big player in having true family, that we don’t need to change people, just ourselves.
Serge Benhayon has this great ability to reintroduce a commitment to life and responsibility that in turn allows for us to reawaken. Never has he told me what to do, simply fortified what is true within, which is what I feel in your blog Julie, a real turn around in so many ways, well worth celebrating.
Well said Julie, very well said. The title of this blog says it all “Serge Benhayon – one man has changed everything” and now it can also read “Julie Snelgrove – one woman has changed everything”. By the way you have now chosen to live you are no different from what I see and read. Thank you Julie for the personal detail around your life and the unmistakable changes that have occurred as a result of your choices. This is not just a story on a page this when you read it is a miracle, from where you were to now how you are. To know there are many people out there making these quality of changes in their life is really warming. Thanks Julie.
The way in which Serge Benhayon and his family present, reflect and share what love and equality truly are is the most powerful inspiration I have ever met.
Time is not enough to outlay in detail, how Serge Benhayon has served humanity. Thank you, Julie, for taking time to share how he has served you and your family.
This is a beautiful article about your self and Serge Benhayon and all he offers and presents and the love and care that is reflected to us all. Thank you Julie for sharing this , it speaks a million miles the appreciation and love for Serge Benhayon and the truly immense wisdom we are all connected to and that he presents to us. Definitely life changing in every way and working with medicine in all its support is worth claiming
I too never took painkillers until I listened to a presentation by Serge Benhayon which made sense to me and I realised their was no harm in taking them if you needed to. Why suffer unnecessary pain? And the ridiculous thing was that I would not take painkillers when in intense pain but that I would poison myself with other drugs and alcohol recreationally….nuts!!!
Thank you Julie for : “Being a mother does not mean sacrificing myself”. To sacrifice ourselves, to not care for our body or to be not lovely with us and each other is already an illness and should be treated like that. For me it is important to be aware of where the disharmony starts. If I am not as caring for me as I cut, if I have a negative or submissive thought, if I feel less than…. I have to check what is going on and to look out for a healing – because I am ill.
I also like the point Julie shares about “Being a mother does not mean sacrificing myself”…Caring and making self-loving choices for ourselves is how we teach and guide our children, allowing them feel cared for and comfortable in who they are rather than the trying to make them fit into who we want or need them to be.
Well said, Kristy and thank you again, Julie. A modern day miracle that is one of many thousands lived and experienced by those that have attended any of Serge Benhayon’s presentations.
I rarely took painkillers (even when much needed) and have come to realise this was about my acceptance that suffering was part of ‘my lot’ in life.
Thankfully Serge Benhayon is here to share the message that while pain and suffering are very real on this planet they are most definitely not ‘our lot!’
Julie, it is incredible to read that your children have not taken drugs, smoked or even drunk alcohol. The sense I get from observing young people around me is that the intensity of the teenage years is much greater than when I was younger, as is the pressure to fit in. To feel comfortable not joining your friends with getting drunk or smoking etc., shows how much they are themselves.
Thank you Julie, I can so relate to avoiding conventional medicine, I too would avoid going to the doctors for antibiotics and painkillers and even once prescribed I refused to take them. Looking back I can see how disregarding this was as I was full of fear and propaganda that I had picked up from the spiritual new age. Like you I also started to question this when I heard Serge Benhayon present on modern medicine. Over the last few years my relationship with my dentist and doctor has greatly improved. I now go for regular check ups and don’t not feel intimidated anymore. I ask questions and express myself in a manner I would never have done before. I can see how I put myself at risk by not trusting the medical system. I am now able to see that conventional medicine offers us so much and this is something I had refused to see before.
Samantha, I also have poo-pooed conventional medicine in the past even not taking prescribed antibiotics and keeping them in the fridge. I did get better on my own but wonder what risk I was prepared to put myself through to uphold a belief or two about natural remedies and the ‘harm’ antibiotics do.
I so understand what you are saying about Serge Benhayon- He is always there, even if he isn´t in person- his care for humanity is limitless and the way he presents, you can´t but align to, if you are looking for truth in your life.
Wow what an awesome read Julie. Through Serge openly sharing how he’s lived his life, we have all been inspired to bring about amazing changes in our lives that on reading here inspire us further and so it goes on. What a ripple effect!
The ripple effect is profound when you stop and connect to it. “One man had changed everything” is a true statement and the ripple effect will continue into future generations. One man standing for integrity, stillness, love, harmony and joy and showing the rest of us how to live that is incredibly powerful. As a student of, “The way of the livingness” I feel a little like a fledgling, but as we all know fledglings grow up and take flight eventually. Imagine all of us living with the same consistency as Serge, the world would not know itself!
Thank you Julie. This was beautiful to read. There is so much to appreciate in what has been shared by Serge, his family and the community of students.
If we all take our medicine in life as Serge Benhayon inspires us to do, just think how healthy we would all be.
It’s interesting Julie how you say that when you met Serge you were at a point where you were in fact exhausted but that to others you would have seemed to be functioning normally – and even to yourself you were not aware of the overwhelm and deep, prolonged state of tiredness. It became a daily thing that was easily and automatically absorbed into life as ‘normal’. What is wonderful though is how you turned that type of normal around into becoming a daily experience that is vital and joyful. A complete turn around inspired by one man’s unimposing, ever loving way.
The difference between being on the front foot and engaging with life, making your own choices to bring love into it where ever possible is a far cry from the way you describe your earlier experience of being overwhelmed by life, a recipient of the mountain of things to do. Serge Benhayon has provided us all with the blessing of that choice, by what he consistently presents and lives for himself.
Thank you for sharing your personal example of how much Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon recommend fully utilising conventional medicine. We all need conventional medicine and the immense support that it can bring in recovering from illness and disease, and it has always been my experience that this recommendation is the case when working with the support of Universal Medicine.
Thank you for sharing Julie. I was interested to read that none of the other complementary or alternative therapies you tried were in favor of conventional medicine, this sets Universal Medicine apart from the others, and from your testimony takes holistic medicine to a new level.
Julie your comment ‘I was not the disease’ stayed with me. My thoughts were that how easily it could be to ‘become’ the disease and allow it to take over, losing all sense of the person. How wonderful that you have combined Western Medicine with the great inspiration that Serge Benhayon and his family offer us all to overcome your health issues.
A remarkable transformation Julie and a great testimony to the inspiration of Serge Benhayon and The Way of the Livingness, from which I too have made huge changes to my health and life, including bringing the support of western medicine back into my life after many years of being very averse to it and going the alternative medicine direction.
There was a time when I did not like conventional medicine either, I stubbornly and arrogantly thought ‘no I can sort myself out’ using so many different alternative treatments .. which then meant if I couldn’t I had a feeling I had failed! I would not even take a pain killer if I had a really painful period! I have learnt so much from Serge Benhayon and have a completely different true awareness now, including how my everyday choices affect my health and how it is loving to support myself with conventional medicine when needed alongside supporting myself in how I live.
I have always found that the work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine complements Western Medicine. As a health care professional I see no conflict there at all.
I second that Elizabeth….I love that Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine are pro Western medicine and that the Esoteric Healing Modalities are there to complement and support the person in full. Western Medicine & Esoteric Medicine are a beautiful union.
I am inspired by the changes you have been able to make in caring for yourself, and letting go of old beliefs that held you back Julie. Serge Benhayon presents in a way that allows us to discern for ourselves what feels true. I feel blessed to know him.
One man has changed everything and for so many, your life can’t help but be impacted when meeting Serge and what he presents in everything he does. Mine certainly has.
Serge Benhayon offers amazing support and wisdom and is super supportive of conventional medicine. I don’t see how it has ever been thought that he is not or is some ‘whacky healer”. Serge has also been a great inspiration for me in how to take responsibility in life. Thanks Serge, and thank you Julie
Thank you for your inspiring Blog, how true change is possible through making simple loving choices I ones life, and what a turn-around you have made.
Great article Julie, how amazing it has been to see you and children blossom over the years. Serge Benhayon has openly given his time to everyone, he is a man in a million, non imposing or judging. Constantly sharing his love with everyone.
Julie, the first part of your blog felt as though you were writing about my life! I too, up until being introduced to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, rejected anything to do with conventional medicine, often actively expressing my views against it. I also home-schooled my children, to the point of exhaustion and resentment, in the same rejection of what was on offer by the conventional education system, and set on the path of alternative approaches. I too however never found the answers in the approaches in any of the alternative practices. Through the presentations of Serge Benhayon, I have been inspired to consider that the answer is not a rejection of western medicine but a way of working ‘with’ conventional medicine, and the basis of all the changes in my life have simply come about by coming back to self-care, something which Serge emulates and inspires with everyone he meets. Thanks for a great blog!
It was lovely hearing about the huge turn around in your attitudes to conventional medicine and how breast cancer became the catalyst for such positive changes in all aspects of your life. How lucky you are to have met role models who kept showing you how simply we can live life and how love actually looks and feels.
Great article Julie Snelgrove. So, so many people have a similar story. How is it that Medicine does not overwhelmingly see the ally they have in Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine’s approach? It is clear that those that have a vested interest in demonising alternative medicine are blinding themselves deliberately to the true Complement that is being offered here.
Too much self-investment and investment in the status quo Rebecca but in time it will change.
There is a marked difference in my life from before meeting Serge Benhayon and after meeting him. Thank God I chose to meet Serge Benhayon as all that he has inspired in me is nothing short of incredible.
I deeply enjoyed reading this blog Julie, thank you. I particular enjoyed how you showed that every part of your life has been transformed by the choices that you have made, and understanding that you have come to since meeting Serge Benhayon, and this makes sense, for how can true transformation impact on only one part, or a limited part of your life…it can’t, if it is true it will affect the whole.
What a gift you are Julie – thank you for sharing so beautifully your experience with Serge Benhayon and how you have chosen to re-arrange your life. You are a shining example of what is possible when you commit to truth, yourself and humanity.
Serge Benhayon is one in a million, the way he helps all people and the things he does for humanity has no boundaries.
Mike agreed it is quite incredible – for so many people life has not made sense. I now understand that’s because we’ve had it all back to front and upside down. I have never known a person do so much for everyone as Serge Benhayon.
This is so true, Mike there is no boundary in Serge Benhayon’s Love for humanity and this is what is felt in his presence. It is like whatever you speak with him about he already has a knowing of the whys, hows, and whens so there is no judgement or reaction to what you share only acceptance and understanding.
Julie thank you for this wonderfully inspiring blog – it has so much for anyone wanting to live true to themselves in a more loving and caring way. Serge Benhayon and his entire family are strong role models in truly consistently living this way as are you Julie. We all have the potential to make different choices that allow us to be true to who we are and inspire others to be true to who they are – the changes you made and the effect on your relationships and family life is a great testimony to that.
Julie thank you for such an inspiring sharing of how Serge Benhayon’s livingness has inspired you to care for yourself in such a profound way. I agree I am also constantly inspired to learn and develop, inspired by Serge Benhayon.
Julie, thank you for taking the time to so beautifully express your appreciation for the way in which Serge Benhayon has changed your life and your world. You speak for so many of us, and there is much here to appreciate and ponder on.
This is absolutely beautiful:
“I was always met with absolute understanding of the disease and what was happening, but there was something else I would feel, and that is that I was not the disease but rather me as a woman first. Feeling this meant that I could feel a quality, or something in myself equal to Serge Benhayon, that meant I was worth looking after.”
This has been true for me too, and has also changed my life.
Yes I agree Anne, you have captured a very beautiful quote from Julie’s article that speaks for so many of us. It is what Serge continually brings home to us, that we are constantly worth taking care of, constantly worth loving and it has been this constant message that has not only supported Julie to deal with a very serious disease by deeply nurturing herself, but many other people too, supporting us to find our way back to true, vital health and joyful, loving relationships, sometimes for the first time in our lives.
Absolutely true Rowena and Anne. This quote stood out to me too as it was my experience also. When I was met with such love and held in equality for the first time by Serge Benhayon it allowed me to immediately feel that in myself and slowly build from there.
Thank you for sharing your story Julie , what an inspiration you are to all of us and yes where would we be if it was not for Serge Benhayon and his family who have offered all of us a way of livingness that is undeniably true , the results speak for themselves.
Being a student of the livingness is such a magical path. Even through illness or disease there can be amazing healings and experiences felt. Stepping through life’s lessons with the unimposing wisdom and support of Serge Benhayon is something to be truly grateful for.
I felt to add my words agreeing with your expression Tracy “being a student of the livingness is such a magical path” – and from my own experience with hospitals, surgical and non-surgical procedures I agree that we can be aware that amazing healings can take place if we but choose and allow ourselves to re-connect to that still place within. The felt support is beyond this world – one could say even magical.
I agree wholeheartedly Tracy and Roberta, such a magical path. Serge Benhayon has given us a glimpse of what a true way of living could be, full of magic and miracles, and through The Way of the Livingness we are starting to feel it for ourselves, and this is just the beginning….
‘stepping through life’s lessons with the unimposing wisdom and support of Serge Benhayon is something to be truly grateful for’. Thank you Tracey, I feel the same and can not put into words the appreciation and love that I have for Serge Benhayon, it is a blessing to have him in my life.
“My life and the responsibility I take in it towards myself, my choices, my family, friends and work is unrecognisable from how life used to be.” I echo this Julie, having been similarly inspired by Serge Benhayon, a man who walks his talk. No imposing, just living by example. A great post, thankyou.
Spot on what you write about Serge and a reflection of true charity work. There is not an ounce of personal gain or recognition for himself. He is accessible to all equally and is open to everyone he meets.
Well said Caroline. I have never met anyone who so freely gives of their time and resources as Serge Benhayon does and he asks for nothing in return. It is a bonus if people truly appreciate this support by taking charge of their lives and resolving their own issues just as Julie has. The biggest gift for Serge is seeing someone return to who they truly are and if a person requires some assistance to get there, Serge is beside them all the way.
‘There is not an ounce of personal gain or recognition for himself’ This sentence really struck me Caroline it is so true.
Even the title shares so much truth “Serge Benhayon – one man that has changed everything” – not by what he does but how he lives and choses to be, this is what makes the real difference and inspires so many people across the world to make choices to love, nurture and take deep care of themselves and with that naturally everyone else.
“Serge Benhayon – one man that has changed everything” – so true. And the beautiful thing is he didn’t set out to change or convert anyone, it was enough for him to just be himself and reflect back to us our true potential. Imagine a world where everyone was living like this. awesome!
Yes Sandra – and one day he will be remembered as the grandfather of modern Psychology.
You’re right Julie, everything Serge presents has a profound ripple affect. Just by observing the way he lives and is with people it makes a difference. It was great to hear about the changes in your life and I noted that it doesn’t seem like you have labelled yourself as a breast cancer surviver. Yet shared your learning from it really well, thank you.
I can second that Emily. There really isn’t the feeling of being a breast cancer survivor in this post, and knowing Julie in person I can say the same of her in the way that she carries herself. This is testament to the fact that she has done her healing, learned from it and moved on…
A great point to pick up Emily and Rebecca – in no way is Julie presenting as a ‘Breast Cancer Survivor’, rather simply a woman who is choosing to live a natural and loving way. What we do or have done does not make us who we are.
I agree definitely James this is not a story about being a ‘survivor’ but choosing to live naturally – such a big difference. Most of the world seems to think that being a survivor is it, but it is nothing compared to getting to know yourself as a beautiful, capable equal person to one and all.
What inspires me most about Julie is how she does not Identify with the past, but is committed in the day to day to bringing love into all aspects of her life.
This is a very good point raised here as no I do not feel in anyway like a ‘breast cancer survivor’. If I was going to apply this word ‘survivor’ to any part of my life it would be how I used to be in life before meeting Serge Benhayon and being diagnosed with the disease, ie my aim every morning was getting through and ‘surviving’ each day in whatever way I could so maybe extra caffeine, more biscuits, more food than usual, emotional drama, and or a glass of wine at the end of the day. A sure way to ill-health.
Julie’s breast cancer was the trigger that unfolded her true self and the abundance of love around and in herself. Truly a beauty-full story.
Unlike so many presenters, Serge Benhayon never delivers information or opinion. What he does that is so inspiring and different is share his experience, his life, with a transparency and openness that before meeting him I had never come across before. Not an ideal that he longs for; everything Serge shares is his lived experience – this is unique – there is no imposition just the exquisite opportunity to make choices for ourselves.
The health, wellbeing and quality of life improvements that I have witnessed countless people experience through the work of Serge Benhayon are nothing short of extraordinary and profound.
It’s really beautiful to read your journey from refusing to have any medical help to having it in a way that supports you so fully. I love how you’ve empowered me to, not just in this blog but when we have spoken about medical issues, come to a greater understanding of how conventional medicine can be truly supportive. How you have lived has been very informative and inspiring so thank you Julie.
You’re right Karin – It is very empowering to know how even something as simple as our daily choices can have such a huge difference to our lives.
Julie when I think back over the years since I got to know Serge and the ageless wisdom that he presents, I can see that things have changed in similar ways to the ones you describe: I am no longer exhausted, I have a healthier relationship with my body and with myself, the way I relate to people has deepened and I no longer need to go looking for truth. Life now makes complete sense! That’s huge changes inspired by one man.
Your story Julie is one of many sharing the appreciation of Serge Benhayon and his love and commitment to humanity by example – how can anyone think and say otherwise of such a truly respected man.
All it takes is one (in this case) man, Serge Benhayon living with consistency what he speaks about, meeting people with love and in equality to change so many lives. Yours, your families and others have changed hugely. So has mine, my family, friends, colleagues.
One man, Serge Benhayon is changing the world, the ripple effect is big and will only get bigger and bigger the more each of us take our responsibility and reflect our way of living consistently.
What a beautiful amazing and inspiring story.
Love hearing how the love and consistency felt from the Benhayon’s was rock solid that it supported you to re-connect for yourself to what was true.
Julie, this is a beautiful and very inspiring sharing of the huge changes you have chosen to make and how this has brought a deeper relationship with affected not only your self, your family and others, as well as the amazing effects upon your health and true wellbeing.
It is a joy to see you and your children now – they are also growing into simply gorgeous young adults, supported by your chosen way of living.
Thanks for sharing your story Julie, I can feel how much you have been inspired by Serge Benhayon and his family, and how your choices from this have changed your life dramatically. It truly shows the power one person can have through commitment, understanding, true love and care.
It’s the absolute truth, that Serge Benhayon has changed many many peoples lives by the way he shows examples of how to live, not by any imposition at all. I love in your story how you learnt that looking after your family is not to sacrifice your life, impose on or control them, but by learning to love and care for yourself gives them a reflection for them to be themselves too. I have also been learning this, thank you Julie.
“I was worth looking after” … What a beautiful way to express what it is you experienced from your relationship with Serge Benhayon.
I agree, this is a significant shift…and one I experienced as well.
I agree Suzanne, what a beautiful thing to discover Julie. The level of care that Serge Benhayon presents is like nothing else I had come across. I now understand how worth I am looking after, and how to actually do that too!
Absolutely Kate. I too feel I’m worth taking care of because of the way Serge Benhayon, his family, and the student body take care of themselves and knowing what that looks like sure is inspiring.
This is a beautiful sharing Julie as you touch upon so many aspects of the true love and care that Serge Benhayon is and offers to all. And in particular the inspiration and many changes that have occurred in your life from meeting him and his family. Thank you.
Hi Julie, it is quite a turn around you have described, from being against conventional medicine to the point where you did not seek medical attention, antibiotics or painkillers to now embracing all it has to offer and I might add with the help and understanding given from Serge Benhayon, who for me also has helped to restore the trust in conventional medicine it so rightly deserves.
One of the dangers of ignoring conventional medicine is that we can become seriously ill – for me personally, before I met Serge Benhayon I was into all sorts of New Age ideas, one of which was not to take medication of any kind. I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (Irregular heartbeat), and my doctor advised me to take aspirin to thin my blood. I ignored his advice with the result that one day my right leg went cold – after a visit to A&E it turned out that I had an arterial clot and could well have lost my whole leg. Since then I have consistently taken advice of doctors, and am on warfarin to avoid having a possible stroke. I too, thanks to the inspiring presentations of Serge Benhayon, have supported my medical support by looking at how I am living and taking more care of my body. The two work well together.
Carmel, this would be a great blog – the dangers of ignoring conventional medicine – as so often there are articles written about the dangers of this and that in medicine, but not what can happen if we deny when medicine can support us.
There is so much arrogance in ignoring conventional medicine and believing that with only alternative medicine we can put our health right and so many of us have gone down that irresponsible route !
This one man – Serge Benhayon – as his presentations and his way of life (as an inspiration), changed also my life and health totally.
There is a glorious picture here Julie, of what life appeared to be like before you came to know you truly and now, in the present – what a remarkable transformation and all due to different choices made – this is quite inspirational Julie – thank you for sharing your experience. I also have found life itself quite remarkable since having met Serge Benhayon and commenced attending the presentations of Universal Medicine.
What a wonderful story of how you have changed your life and others around you by claiming your true self in a loving way. Yes, Serge Benhayon is an amazing person and one who has also helped me in many ways during life threatening health issues. Seeing how consistent his love and care is with everyone, has inspired me to also live this way. Life changing it is and we all have the opportunity to do this for ourselves when we are ready to let go of our old ways.
Julie thank you so much for all you shared as I can relate to so much of it.
I too went down the homeschooling route with my youngest children which lasted for 16 years and resisting western medicine despite being a nurse. I also ended up unwell which was the stop I needed to address how and why I was living the way I was. Like you with the support of Serge Benhayon, his family, the esoteric modalities, my life is unrecognizable from 6 years ago. My kids are at school, I embrace western medicine if needed and I live each day making it about love and connection to people.
Truly a miracle for a woman who never cared or nurtured herself but now has a true way to live.
‘For this I will feel eternally thank full and appreciative of all that has been brought to me, to my family and my relationships with many other people, as I constantly feel inspired to learn and develop more.’
I totally second this!
Serge is definitely a living testimony on how to truly live life. It makes so much sense. The changes you have made Julie have been amazing and all because of the willingness to go there and to feel the way you were living to be untrue. Truly inspirational.
It is not often that you can describe an entire family as “loving and responsible adults.” The Benhayons live in a way that is truly inspirational. They treat their family members and all others equally, with the same deep love and care. Thank you for sharing the changes you have been inspired to make, Julie.
Yes, before meeting the Benhayons and Universal Medicine I always believed that having special people in your life and loving some much more than others was a good and normal thing. Through the inspiration of Serge Benhayon and this family, I realized how selfish that view has been and that in truth everybody is lovable and has amazing qualities only he can bring.
I felt truly met for who I really was for the first time in such a powerful way that now I feel inspired to meet others without judgement or prejudice. Seeing what is amazing and beautiful about and inside of them instead of letting myself get distracted by their hurts or choices.
I can feel I have so many similarities with you and your story!
Although I didn’t start home schooling with my kids, I had joined some groups, and prior to meeting Serge, it was a strong possibility. That choice, however, stemmed from reaction to how the world was and without any regard for me as a person, let alone the amazingly worthy woman I am now beginning to feel myself to be!
I too am eternally grateful to Serge and his Loving choices for All to feel!
Superb Julie, there is so much truth in your beautiful article that I will be coming back to re-read it again. Thank you for sharing your experience of unfolding a life of true love and responsibility and the support Serge Benhayon provided. I love the title of your article and agree in full Serge Benhayon – one man has changed everything…Hear, Hear!
What a turnaround your life has done Julie, whilst Serge Benhayon must be thanked as you have so lovingly done, you must also give yourself a pat on the back for allowing this change of life. It can be hard to acknowledge that the way we have been living our life hasn’t been working for us, you have and now you lead a very rich life. Congratulations Julie.
A beautifully expressed blog Julie, and a clear and truthful testimony of how Serge Benhayon supports and cares for all equally, and the impact that makes on our lives.
Yes I agree with you Joan, Julie’s deeply felt blog is true testimony to the work (meaning the Way of the Livingness) Serge Benhayon presents and offers to all equally.
Such an inspirational sharing, Julie, of the many loving changes that you have been inspired to make in your life, and what has happened since you have. It is a beautiful testimony to the connection you have made with Serge Benhayon and how his presentations have been the source of the inspiration to begin to care for yourself in a way you had never done before. Having been in a situation similar to yours, I particularly relate to the words; “Being a mother does not mean sacrificing myself as I was previously doing, having no respect for my body in how I treated myself”. Care for yourself first and then the quality of that care will naturally flow on to those around you. What wonderful, life-changing words to present to the mothers of the world.
One man – Serge Benhayon – did change everything. That is hard to accept for some people, especially those who have given up on life, but it doesn’t make it any less true.
Amazing really that we need to be reminded how to love, care and truly honour ourselves. Serge Benhayon has been inspiring so many over the years to embrace and live a life of love. We are not taught this enough, and by truly understanding what it is to care for ourselves many others benefit also. Thank you Julie, I stand with you in expressing my deep appreciation for Serge Benhayon.
Beautifully said Victoria, I too deeply appreciate all Serge Benhayon has and continues to do, teaching people all over the world how to love again, how to love themselves and how to love each other. Julie is such a gorgeous example of how, when one stops to listen and implement the teachings in daily life, true miracles occur. What an incredible support Julie must be to other women who find themselves facing breast cancer, knowing now that she is worth loving and can offer true support based on her own lived experience. It truly shows the real power of love when one person constantly reminds another of their true essence and worth in life.
Absolutely Rowena, true inspiration.
A lovely expression of the inspiration that Serge Benhayon has been to you thank you Julie. My sentiments are virtually identical as I suspect are many others.
Wow, it’s amazing to read impact that one man and one family can have on an individual, and what amazes me more is that all they do is be themselves.
Yes so true Madi. When we really consider not only the impact that this one man has had on many people, but the impact that has been felt by many more others because of those who have also taken that loving reflection into their lives- Now this is HUGE!
Julie it is simply wonderful to hear how you have flourished in all areas of your life by making a true commitment to yourself through the unwavering love and support shared by Serge Behayon and his commitment to living a life of truth, love and vitality.
Wow Julie, this is a super inspirational blog, thank you for sharing the very supportive and positive influence Serge Benhayon has been in your life, many many of us have received the same love and support, which has greatly assisted us on our life’s journey.
These are monumental changes Julie and it is wonderful that one man can have inspired you to choose to make the loving choices you made for yourself and your family. You will no doubt be inspiring others in turn with this blog and the way you are now living. Thank you.
I absolutely agree Rosanna and it’s great to take time to really appreciate just how incredible the changes are. In many ways it’s unheard of to make such changes to a true way of being. We sometimes hear people making dramatic changes in their life but that often leads from one set of problems to another. What is so inspiring about Julie’s story is that the changes made are tangible and show someone committed to live life taking full responsibility. The result speaks for itself.
Yes Rosanna and Julie – Serge Benhayon is the one who changed many many lives into a more healthier and wiser way. And so are we. People who are claiming their power and don’t hold back anymore. These are the ones who are reflecting the glory of what we all are, so everyone can see what a blessing it is to be and how amazing it is that we are connection-pieces to each other. We will change everything!
This is amazing Julie Snelgrove and well done. What a turnaround from home schooling your children and taking no painkillers because you were so into alternative medicine. Working full time and doing voluntary work is incredible considering you have had breast cancer and are a single parent. Your story is deeply inspiring and is a true testament of Serge Benhayon who gives his time to anyone who needs support.
I too have received huge help when I went through major surgery from Serge Benhayon. I know he personally replies to over 200 emails every single day and that has been consistent no matter where he is working in the world.
Julie hi – I can relate to so much of what you say – as a woman I thought I was doing the right thing in putting the wellbeing of my family and other’s before my own – equally Serge Benhayon lovingly pointed out that it would be more beneficially to truly learn to nurture myself and then bring this expression to my family, friends and indeed all those I come into contact with. The transformation this simple change has brought to my life is remarkable, indeed one man has changed everything.
Not only a great testament to the living example of self-care, respect and truth that Serge Benhayon and his family bring but also an inspiring before and after story of your own journey through cancer, how it provided a stop moment from which to re-evaluate how you had been living and from there turn around not just the quality of your own life but that of your family as well.
Your testimony on how you have turned your life around, Julie is beautiful to read and you represent one in hundreds who have also made incredible changes to their lives through the inspiration of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. Thank you for writing and sharing… these stories are worth writing about… they are the good news stories of our times and worth celebrating.
Thank you for sharing Julie your experience of breast cancer and the support you have received both from the medical profession and that of Serge Benhayon and his family. Breast cancer needs to be looked at from a different perspective as it would seem there is so much more we could learn from it, instead of ‘something to just get through’ – you are a living example of this. Very inspiring, thank you.
What a beautiful and inspiring blog Julie, showing how you have changed your life in an awesome way with the support and love of Serge Benhayon.
Thank you for sharing Julie. This is yet another example of the the many lives that have been inspired to changed for the better through Serge Benhayon.
Great that you highlight that Serge Benhayon is positive concerning Conventional Medicine and this as you say is largely unheard of in the complementary health field. Personally I really connected to this quote “He has met, accepted and understood me on every level, even at times when I have not been able to do so myself!” Even when I have not been able to commit to and feel understanding and love towards myself Serge Benhayon has met me as I am and through doing this has supported me to be aware of myself more fully and become more understanding and loving. I feel this happens because the of the quality in which he lives, he cares and loves himself and this quality and consistency shines out.
You have beautifully expressed a process available to us all Julie which you have been inspired to try by the unimposing presentations of Serge Benhayon. Gentleness, self-care, self-love and acceptance in the context of self-responsiblity.
Thank you Julie this is a huge shift in how you were choosing to live – and like you – Serge continues to inspire me to make simple practical changes that are the result in me being much more open honest and loving with myself and others.
I love what you have written Julie. I, like many others have experienced the same, ‘his way is unimposing and only ever loving’ with no compromise of the truth I might add. What is remarkable is being held in fully equality in that love with absolutely no judgment. Feeling this complete lack of judgment allows us to make the changes we need to make in the time that works for us – there is no pressure as you say and this is immensely healing and supportive of finding out what is really true for us from within instead of bowing to what we think may be expected of us.
Such an inspiring article Julie, thank you for writing it. Serge Benhayon is the real deal and along with many others I am now making more self loving choices in my life because of his constant reflection of love and integrity in all of his presentations and living ways. It’s awesome to read of the changes you have made and how you and your children are living more love now because of them.
Same here Shelley – it is quite incredible to reflect on the fact that from one persons presentations and way of living everything in my life has changed in ways that mean after years of feeling something was missing I’ve found “me” again. The simple and joyful feeling I had when playing as a child. As Julie has shared what incredible changes she has made.
Wow Julie, congratulations to you. What a sharing and an offering to us all, truly amazing and inspiring how you have turned your life around. What you have shared above deserves to be studied, you are defying all the known odds and showing there is indeed another way. Just awesome, thank you.
Very true Caroline, Julie is offering the world an incredible example of how one can not just survive breast cancer, but can really heal the attitudes, behaviour and lack of self nurturing that lead to the disease in the first place. It is very interesting that no where in Julie’s article does she express a need to ‘fight it’, but uses the diagnosis to ask deep questions of herself and begin to truly look after herself, supported always by Serge Benhayon’s constant reminder that she is worth looking after, always.
A reflection of how caring Serge Benhayon is, is by the amount of care and support from the many people that have similar stories and experiences. Serge has a great way of saying something in only a few words or sentences, but at the same time he speaks volumes.
I agree Matthew. Serge Benhayon has a way of letting you feel the truth of a situation and the part we have played in it to create it. It is never not gentle and his words have a way of supporting you so that you can feel there is so much more that you can be.
That is so true Matthew, I am still appreciating at an ever deeper level of understanding words that were spoken to me years ago. As I unfold more, the understanding unfolds to match where I am at, and it’s like hearing it for the first time all over again.
This is my experience too Matthew, Serge’s presentations and words have a way of unravelling themselves over time and with this unravelling comes an enormous and often humbling understanding. I feel blessed to have experienced this one man’s presentations.
It is really lovely to read how much has changed for you. It is so true what you have said regarding Serge ‘Serge Benhayon practises true charity – where he often gives freely of his time and expertise with no personal gain or recognition for himself.’ Also how he ‘has met, accepted and understood me on every level, even at times when I have not been able to do so myself’, I know this to be true from many times he has helped me.
Me too Vicky, Serge has presented to me, many times, the truth of who I am and for that I am truly grateful. What he says and does resonates within me in at a deep level and I know, and feel, what he says is the truth, even though sometimes it is not what I want to hear it is always based on love.
I agree Vicky wholeheartedly with the statement Julie makes ‘Serge Benhayon practises true charity – where he often gives freely of his time and expertise with no personal gain or recognition for himself.’
Gosh how many people in our world do this year in and year out as Serge Benhayon has done. No personal gain and No recognition are qualities that very few of us truly have.
I know he has helped loads of people and many have no clue how much he actually does to support others. I was one who benefited greatly when I was going through major surgery.
This is great Julie and what you came to in regards your illness/breast cancer a complete life-changer in your words … “I was not the disease but rather me as a woman first”. In other words, that the disease was not to blame or shun, but instead to be welcomed as it opened up a whole new avenue in regards your ‘self-relationship as a woman’ – starting this relationship truly, and then more deeply to uncover the value in the preciousness of you. Beautiful.
Agree totally, Zofia and Jane.
The word that really comes to mind for me when reading your blog Julie is inspiration. Serge Benhayon inspires people to be more loving towards themselves and others by living himself in this way. After observing and knowing him for 9 years also I can say I have never felt any dictation, no rules, no pressure as you state to agree or conform or follow. Just a consistent example and constant understanding and the freedom to make my own choices fully informed about my own health and that of my family.
Great testimonial really. The truth of the matter is clear to see – that by a man who is just saying it how it is, with no reservation and following through in his own life – can be felt by others who are willing to learn. May there be lots of people saying it how it is with no reservation, so that many more like Julie can benefit from this lived way.
It’s simply beautiful to read of the true impact one person can have on another’s life. Serge Benhayon inspires us all to know that we too, could be that ‘one’ person – which isn’t one at all when we realise our common humanity. It seems to me that his greatest gift to us all is his profound ability to be the all for each and every one of us, without exception. This level of support is something I’m only just getting accustomed to and the truly sustainable parts of my life are the proof of this.
Julie I love reading the title of this blog. It says it all ONE MAN CHANGED EVERYTHING! I hear you loud and clear.
Julie, the changes you have made in your life with the support of Serge Benhayon are amazing. Serge Benhayon’s love and care as a practitioner is truly extraordinary, and has supported hundreds of people to make positive and lasting changes to their overall health and well being.
Absolutely Julie, Serge Benhayon does just that – presents how he lives and I totally agree, it all does make sense.
I love your sharing and I can relate to much of what you share. Thank you
How beautiful is it that you felt ‘You as the Woman’ and this was a big part of your healing. From reading your sharing and this point in particular, it just highlights for me how powerful love and connection is. Through the lived love of Serge and his deep connection with himself . . . he, as a man was able to support you to feel You, you as the beautiful woman you are first and foremost.
It’s amazing to read how one man’s example can inspire you so much it can change your life so profoundly. A lovely read, thank you Julie.
The only thing I would say about this is that one woman made all these changes – you. (yes of course with the undeniable loving support of Serge Benhayon), but nonetheless, it is you that have lived the changes and made them a reality.
What an amazing testament to Serge Benhayon you have written here! And I can totally relate to what you’re sharing because Serge Benhayon has had the same wide-reaching impact on my own life too, and on many others around me. I am eternally grateful to him for showing us the true way. I was also quite anti conventional medicine, but hearing what Serge was presenting made me open up and I now deeply appreciate what conventional medicine, doctors and nurses etc., bring to us all.
Thank you for sharing this Julie, I’ve been honoured to witness the changes that you have made and as you say the changes that many many people have made to bring more responsibility and love into all areas of their lives, which in turn benefits everyone around us, with the immense support that Serge Benhayon offers.
Julie, thank you for sharing your beautiful story. I so much can relate to what you say, as I have experienced similar changes with me and my family since I know Serge Benhayon. What inspires me most is the deep love Serge Benhayon has for everyone no matter who this person is. It is a love which I feel I am held with and also which I feel inspired to bring more and more into my life and share this with others.
Julie it is lovely to read your experience of just how expansive the support and love is that Serge Benhayon lives by. From being the only “alternative” healthcare practitioner that promotes the combination of true alternative (esoteric) and western medicine together, to being available for all as needed through his extensive charity and community work. My experience has been similar in that no matter what is going on, Serge has been there supporting me through anything I am unsure or concerned about.
Serge Benhayon has changed the lives of thousands of people simply by the way he consistently lives and relates to people. It is something beyond words to witness.
These are amazing changes Julie, and by no means is the breadth and depth of these changes a common occurrence. They are testament to the love and understanding with which Serge Benhayon was able to support you through this transition… and the commitment you developed towards yourself, that has brought such wide reaching, positive change. It’s joyful to hear your story Julie, thank you.
This is a beautiful blog as it really debunks any myths – of which there appear to be a few running around – about Serge Benhayon and his relationship with conventional medicine. Because he has developed complementary modalities it is assumed by some he is anti-medicine or using the modalities as ‘cures’ for illness and disease. This is clearly not the case as the importance of ‘conventional’ medicine is very well established in students of the Way of the Livingness and anyone accessing Esoteric Healing modalities. To insinuate otherwise engenders fear and lumps it in with many other alternative therapies that may cause harm by advocating avoidance of conventional medicine. This blog is a beautiful testament to the way many people live their everyday lives with inspiration from Serge Benhayon.
I have had a similar journey Julie.
From being “overwhelmed” by poor life choices, to being “overwhelmed” by the love, respect and acceptance I feel from Serge Benhayon and his family, this they present in equal measure to all.
Dear Julie,
Your writting holds within it much wisdom, love and the true benefits of lovingly supporting and caring for your body. I too feel the forever constant love that Serge Benhayon lives for all of us to see and feel and I too can feel an equalness with him. As you say this feeling gives me true incentive to love myself as deeply as I have felt the love that Serge presents.
It was through a diagnosis of breast cancer that I too was introduced to Serge Benhayon and came to realise as you express Julie that ‘I was worth looking after.’
Thank you for sharing the impact of taking that on board, not just for you, but all those around you all.
I love your post, Julie, it’s so easy, straightforward and lovely. No rah-rah, but instead just your amazing story on how your life has changed due to Serge Benhayon “who has simply, openly shared and presented how he lives his life, all of which makes sense”. Thank you for for sharing how you allowed yourself to be inspired and make these beautiful changes in your life. Now t h a t ‘s inspiring.
Deeply inspiring and profound. Your willingness and honesty in sharing your life and experience is felt. I loved your comments on choosing to love and care for yourself and then the natural flow-on to your family just happened. We cannot make choices for another but we can bring our own beautiful presence to every relationship, as Serge Benhayon brought his to you. Thank you Julie for sharing.
Thank you Julie for sharing your story, this article made me so aware of how one person can influence and positively impact on the life of so many people just by holding a steadiness and deep care for others. It is beautiful to know that this is something we can all do and never should we underestimate our own ability to support and inspire others to live healthy vital lives.
Wow, beautiful Julie. I found this really supportive to read, ‘being in a family was not about controlling and imposing on my children, to be and become all that I would like them to be, but rather to show love and care towards myself,then this would happen naturally in the family, as they could accept and be themselves.’
As a mother of a young child it is really beautiful to read this, as I know that I can sometimes get caught up in wanting my son to be a certain way, a way that I have decided is the right way for him to be, rather than simply loving and caring for myself and reflecting this to my family.
Awesome Julie. I love how much appreciation you have for Serge Benhayon, but particularly love that what you’ve gained through knowing him, is actually knowing you and learning to love and appreciate yourself, which has had a natural knock on effect to your family and anyone else in your life.
Lovely to read your story Julie, like yourself, once I met Serge Benhayon and attended his presentations, so many things began to change for the better in my own life, because his message of living with love and responsibility makes sense.
I agree, Serge Benhayon is one of the few complementary health providers I have met that is pro conventional medicine. He has supported my opening to accessing better care for myself medically also.
You have had a complete turnaround of your life over the past few years with all the changes you’ve made, with Serge Benhayon’s support. I love the list of all the differences now. Describing all your decisions here is so inspirational for others to tread a similar journey, if they choose to…
Julie what you have written here is my experience of knowing Serge Benhayon. I have never met anyone in my life before meeting him that made sense of what life is really about, and through his teachings he has shown me that everything that happened in my life was because of the choices I was making.
His love for humanity is never ending and without his continual loving reflection, my life would not have the vitality and love for life that I now have. He has inspired countless people that there is a way to live that is loving and truly caring and I too am eternally appreciative of all that he brings. Julie your blog speaks for many that have had similar experiences, thank you for sharing.
It’s amazing to hear how your life has changed so massively through your own choices, with the support and inspiration of Serge Benhayon and his family. They have inspired too many people to count, including myself, and I too am very grateful to have such love in my life.
Another beautiful blog showing how an individual has completely turned their life around to one of true harmony and love. The common theme seems to be that Serge Benhayon never tells anyone what to do or what not to do. He supports, presents and shares with us all equally, always with the greatest respect and integrity. I can feel how it is each person who actually makes the changes themselves, completely changing the energy that they choose to align with and addressing the issues that are presenting themselves for healing. Thanks Julie for expressing what you have experienced and felt in your connection with Serge Benhayon and his family, something many would relate to.
A beautiful sharing Julie, thank you. It is truly inspiring to read how you have chosen alternatives to your previous beliefs that obviously did not serve you, your family or those around you. It is beautiful that you instead chose a different path: one of love, understanding and support.
You are an inspiration Julie and thank you for sharing your journey and your families . It takes commitment to self first and then that spreads out ( the ripple effect) to so many people that we would not even be aware of, who are positively affected. This is the way Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine works, so much Love for all and we see the amazing results!
So simple and yet so profound. A shift from running away from yourself in the rush and roles of life, to putting yourself back in the picture and starting to respect and take care of yourself, has totally changed your life. It is inspiring to read this article and to deeply appreciate the impact Serge Benhayon’s life has on so many. I am proud to say I am one of those so many and love the deepening learning that every day offers me.
Thank you Julie for your very open and honest article. Your journey and experience through such a challenging and frigthening time is evidence of the true support that Serge Benhayon offers us all. It’s true, Serge never imposes what he thinks we should do, but he does engender in all he meets a true sense of self worth and desire to self care and you are a living example of just how deeply healing and effective this can be when we apply these simple principles. Learning to identify our ‘lousy choices’ and choosing to live life differently does and has worked miracles, as evidenced by your return to health after dealing with such a major disease and still being a single mum raising two teenagers. It is a joy to hear that these children, subjects of a broken marriage, are not turning to drugs, alcohol and all the usual teenage pit falls, because they have had and continue to have true support from yourself, your friends and from the Benhayon family. It is so uplifting to read of someone finding their way through such a challenging situation and coming out the other end healthier, fuller and standing on their own two feet with such vitality, health, energy and commitment not only for yourself and family but for your community too. Truly amazing!
I have often been led to believe that we can’t change the world, that it just is the way it is and there’s nothing much we can do. How limiting this belief was. This belief melted away when I met Serge Benhayon, in him I saw and still do, one man who has changed the world for many hundreds if not thousands and they in turn have made their changes, as you have so beautifully written here. I underestimated Love. With Love, we can make incredible changes.
Thank you Julie for such a loving testament to the amazing love and wisdom of Serge Benhayon experienced by everyone. I find your comment that through realising you were not the disease you, “could feel a quality, or something in myself equal to Serge Benhayon, that meant I was worth looking after. I began making changes in how I treated myself and regarded my body. This greatly improved my relationship with myself and with my family”, a very powerful example of the practical impact of this love and wisdom.
This is such a great testament to such a great man.I have known Serge for over a decade now and I have to agree with everything you say. He is definitely pro western medicine and he absolutely treats everyone he meets and knows with the same love and respect as he does himself and his immediate family.
Thank you Julie, again what has been shared here as in so many of the blogs is the absolute love, dedication and commitment that Serge Benhayon lives, presents and shares – with everybody equally. And also the level of commitment, love and responsibility you have been inspired by Serge and his family, to live and share not only with yourself but your family – Truly beautiful.
One line amongst many that stuck out for me was, “that being in a family was not about controlling and imposing on my children, to be and become all that I would like them to be, but rather to show love and care towards myself, then this would happen naturally in the family,” . This naturally reflects the relationships and interaction we have with everybody, and highlights how Serge lives, presents and shares down to a ‘T’.
People have claimed that Serge tells people how to live and what to do, eat etc., but this is so far from the truth – there is not one ounce of control or imposition on anybody – just absolute love and openness lived which makes so much sense, for people to choose what feels true for them.
Yes, that line stood out for me too, ‘that being in a family was not about controlling and imposing on my children, to be and become all that I would like them to be, but rather to show love and care towards myself, then this would happen naturally in the family,’. What a beautiful way to be with our children, to be and live the love we are, and so inspire from how we live.
What an inspiring story you have shared here Julie…each time I hear of similar stories from other students of Universal Medicine I am always deeply touched. What Serge Benhayon & Universal Medicine share is simple practical and common sense information, that when applied to daily life creates life changing miracles…and now your lived experience can inspire others who may also feel ready to nurture and care for themselves on a deeper level, not to mention the positive & inspiring impact you are now having with your children.
Thank you Julie for sharing how the inspiration and unwavering support of Serge Benhayon has changed your life. I too have made numerous changes to the way I choose to live and can feel that at last I am living my life rather than a life that I thought was expected of me by others and it is very liberating. I had always sought help from conventional medicine when unwell but had presented with the attitude of ‘Please fix me’. I was dismissive of complementary medicine until I attended presentations by Serge Benhayon and came to understand the wisdom of my taking responsibility and being a part of healing as a complementary aspect of addressing any illness or health issue.
I agree Mary, with the support and love from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine I am now starting and am able to live a life with the true purpose that I knew to be there but ignored.
That’s a real and true key for me: “In all my correspondence and communication with Serge Benhayon regarding breast cancer, I was always met with absolute understanding of the disease and what was happening, but there was something else I would feel, and that is that I was not the disease but rather me as a woman first.”
So at least we are human (woman or man) – if not divine beings. To connect with what we are at the first place is to honour our selves and it helps to understand why a disease is happening. It put the matter in perspective. It supports us to not identify with what we are not. It gives us the strength to deal with what is happening to us by connecting with our natural and true power at the first place. Wonderful!
Well said Sandra, you are not your condition, which supports us not to identify with what we are not.
Another reflection of how one man has inspired so many and so very deeply. The changes you describe are profound and well sustained and supported, because you made the choice from within you rather than just picking up yet another good idea. That is what true inspiration is about, and Serge Benhayon is the one who delivers it.
Thank you Julie for this beautiful sharing. It is indeed this one man, Serge Benhayon who has shown me the way he lives his life, how he shares his life to help others without any need for personal benefit, but he truly cares about the wellbeing of all humanity. I for myself have been able to make considerable changes in my life as a result of attending many presentations by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine and I see also other people attending the presentations and workshops doing the same. And this is just because of this one man that is living his life openly shared with everybody, dedicated to restore a true and healthy way of living for all of humanity.
Wow Julie, what a change for you and your family in the past several years. From being against conventional medicine to embracing it and allowing it support you, and from trying to protect your children by home schooling them to allowing them to attend school and be out in the world. They will be far better equipped to deal with life as adults by learning this now as children/teens – what a shock it would be for them otherwise. Very inspiring to hear of the changes you’ve made to how you live.
So true Sandra. I can relate to being anti conventional medicine before meeting Serge Benhayon and also similarly seeking to ‘shelter’ my kids from the ‘trials of the world’, though in my case not by home-schooling but by sending them to an ‘alternative’ school which turned out to be much more harm – one of my children in asking to leave and go to the local primary school said by keeping him hidden away in rural cult like seclusion was sending him the direct message that he was not equipped to deal with any situation life in the ‘real’ world could deal him….eye opener and humble pill time. Thanks to Serge Benhayons common sense support (though never ever being prescriptive) my older children did change schools to the local primary school and blossomed and my youngest now attends the local primary too – no tucking them away ‘shielded’ from life, but in amongst it learning to live steadily with whatever is happening around them.
Julie, I can really relate to what you have shared as there have also been significant changes our family too and Serge’s love, support and connection is continually felt from afar. It is so empowering to know that we actually choose the changes in our lives, with no pressure or expectation from Serge but the fact that he continually presents and offers different reflections for us is truly a gift.
Julie, reading your blog left me feeling how simple and yet profound you have made your experiences when it came to your expression about them. It has made me stop again and to reflect on and appreciate how truly simple and yet so profound is Serge Benhayon’s understanding of life. It is profound only because we have strayed so far from that same understanding of ourselves and of each other as actually being the love that we seek outside of ourselves. How much more loving would we be to ourselves and imagine the impact on our health and wellbeing, if we truly understood life as Serge Benhayon does? Your sharing reflects just this greater understanding Julie, in the way you have taken responsibility to care for and love yourself in the most comprehensive way you could. I loved reading your blog.
Julie this is a terrific blog and sharing of your experience of the absolute true support that Serge Benhayon is for anyone. Something that I am appreciating greatly is the unimposing natural way in which Serge is with me and how this supports me with a space to make my own choices and come to my own understandings and awareness in my own time. Thank you for sharing Julie.
Wow Julie, thank you for sharing your inspiring story. Serge Benhayon’s commitment to Truth and Love is certainly profound and enormously healing. To be shown this level of commitment is inspiring and life changing as you have so clearly shared. My life has also been dramatically changed and my relationship to conventional medicine renewed, along with my renewed commitment to living a life based on Truth and Love and not accepting anything less. This has come about by feeling my true value as a person which was shown to me initially by Serge Benhayon, without reproach or imposition, just through simply connecting with me.
You’re right Julie, Serge Benhayon has had a positive influence on a lot of people through his presentations and teachings. His intent of serving humanity is unquestionable and a blessing for everyone who has ever come into contact with him.
Julie what you have shared here so beautifully represents the experience of so many, albeit with different sets of circumstances, however, the common factor being that we have come to understand through the presentations of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine that we were not living our lives to our greatest potential, in fact quite often very far from it. By Serge’s example of the absolute quality of love that it is entirely possible to live with, we, as students of Universal Medicine, have all been offered an enormous reflection of the truth of how we would naturally live when we are connected to this love within ourselves. And what is so evident here for you, and I know for myself and many others, is the ease, flow and expansion that this brings into life, exposing of the fact that to live in the push and drive so commonly associated with ‘achieving’ in modern life, actually causes great harm to ourselves and others by the complication it derives. Totally agreed, Serge has changed everything, he has shown us ‘another way’ which in fact is our true way, and it has been all along. What could not be true about living life with a dedication to absolute love and integrity?
Wow Julie, the changes you have made in your life, with the being supported by Serge Benhayon and held with love, are incredibly inspiring. Your story highlights how much we can impact and inspire others by how we live and how we care for ourselves, especially our children, and not by all the telling and knowledge we have.
This is a trap I fall into at times, however, I have moments when I stop and look at how I am with myself and see my children make changes for themselves that are more loving. What is also evident from reading your transformation Julie, is how you made a commitment to yourself, your family and society by committing to life’s responsibilities every day, like school, work, groceries, bills etc. etc.
Very well said Aimee.
Thank you Julie for such a beautiful story of transformation after meeting Serge Benhayon and family. I can relate to it as a similar story to my own.
This is a beautiful sharing Julie, I recognise the part where you say… “being in a family was not about controlling and imposing on my children, to be and become all that I would like them to be, but rather to show love and care towards myself, then this would happen naturally in the family, as they could accept and be themselves”… I notice that I fall a lot for parenting with expectations and wanting them to have a great life. Thank you for reminding me that true parenting is all about being love and being a living inspiration, so that they can make their own choices in life and have love as a foundation.
Thank you Diana I can so relate to ‘parenting with expectations and wanting them to have a great life’. The reminder that true parenting is all about love and being a living inspiration is so timely for me at the moment.
Julie the way you have turned your life around through choosing to live in respect for yourself is awesome. I totally agree that Serge Benhayon and his family continue to be an amazing inspiration and source of loving support for me to actually value myself, and care for and nurture me, i.e. be self responsible. My health, my life and my relationships have changed dramatically as a direct result of changes I have made to my relationship with me.
How beautiful to read how you have turned your life around with the support of Serge Benhayon and your appreciation for this fact. I loved how you wrote that when discussing your breast cancer with him ‘I was always met with absolute understanding of the disease and what was happening, but there was something else I would feel, and that is that I was not the disease but rather me as a woman first.’
Thank you so much for writing this Julie. Sharing your experience and healing with breast cancer and the incredible support you received from Serge Benhayon. He truly is an amazing man and humbly so. I too have received much support from Serge, with any email being responded to very swiftly. It often feels like he is right at my side, although we live in different continents, when I ask for any support from Serge.
What I love about this blog is that you came to an awareness of life, including things like parenting and conventional medicine, that you had not been able to see previously simply because you met someone who lives nothing less than love. What a powerful reflection it was as your life has changed incredibly.
Thank you Julie for this beautiful article expressing the transformation of the love for yourself – I feel it really assists me to see and to accept that I too am in the chrysalis stage of transformation – learning to love myself more thus learning to express this natural way of being to others and seeing that Love is within us all equally. This understanding for me has also been as a result of my meeting Serge Benhayon and attending the presentations of Universal Medicine.
This is beautiful Julie. It’s huge to turn around our strongly held beliefs especially in regard to conventional medicine. Speaking from personal experience, we can be very stubborn when it comes to not involving doctors in our own care. I stubbornly didn’t see a doctor or dentist for many years, thinking that my health care was something that I could manage myself, using natural medicines.
Fortunately this has changed for me too and consulting with my GP and Dentist and Naturopath (who encourages shared care with GP’s) is part of how I care for myself. I also work with doctors every day and I no longer view them in the harsh way that I used to. I see them as human beings with a great love and care for people, who dedicate their lives in working and caring for people who are sick. They have great skill and passion for their trade and really when it boils down to it, do the best they can do every day.
Self-care as presented by Serge Benhayon has helped me re-consider a whole range of things in my life and I am very grateful for this, for my health has never been better.
Thank you Julie for sharing your story. Since meeting Serge Benhayon more than 10 years ago, my story has been similar to yours in that “my life and the responsibility I take in it towards myself, my choices, my family, friends and work is unrecognisable from how life used to be”. Meeting Serge Benhayon can indeed be life-changing if one is ready to make more self-loving choices in their life. Like you, “l feel eternally thank full and appreciative of all that has been brought to me”.
I also grew up and lived with an ‘anti conventional medicine’ stance until working with Serge Benhayon. I resisted going to the doctor, I would not take antibiotics or pain killers even when I was in so much pain that it affected every part of my life. Serge helped me to gain a healthy respect for where conventional medicine has its rightful and necessary place, and how to utilize conventional and complementary medicine together in assisting myself and others with physical, emotional and psychological situations. Serge also helped me in dealing with my own chronic disorder, that, thanks to his guidance and my choices, I no longer live with. Amazing!
Thank you Julie for sharing such an insightful and personal story. It is remarkable how transformational your life has changed by meeting Serge Benhayon. Your story details how respectful, decent and deeply caring he is, qualities that very much supported you, (and continue to serve) through your treatment for breast cancer and beyond.
I was deeply touched by your honesty in sharing your personal journey back to a healthier way of being for you and your family. Your courage to make changes shines through as new ways of being opened up for you. Wow Julie, you deserve all that you have achieved and the closeness of you and your family is a testament to all that you are.
Julie I love reading the line, ‘ I was not the disease but rather me as a woman first.’
There are many choices I’ve been ashamed of but Serge Benhayon sees me beyond these choices. Over the years this has allowed me to do this for myself and make choices that reflect the beautiful woman that I am, rather than be in keeping with a negative self-image that I had created of myself.
Thank you for sharing this Julie, Serge Benhayon is indeed a wonderful man and I agree the way he lives is practising true charity.
Hi Julie, You have written a blog which sums up the loving reflection received from Serge Benhayon and I agree there is never anything other than complete acceptance. I too have made many changes in my life over a period of several years, becoming more able to truly care for myself and others, since experiencing the love of the whole Benhayon family.
In the past I have been vaccinated and had my children vaccinated against most diseases, but I have always dismissed the flu vaccination as not necessary. This article has given me the opportunity to reflect on the responsibility I have to others and as I work with older people and winter is on its way perhaps it is time for me to rethink my opposition to this.
Julie,what a joy to read this article. So clearly you show how knowing Serge Benhayon changes lives. Not because he tells anyone what changes they should make, but because of the love he lives. Not because he panders and says ‘poor you’, but because he shows that you can take responsibility for change yourself. Your story is an inspiration to all who feel there is more than the endless 24 hour round of ‘coping’.
Common sense is the theme that runs through all of Serge Benhayon teachings. You could distill it down to take care of yourself and go to the doctor.
Like you Julie, I was in resistance to medicine. I had some bad experiences as a younger woman and was holding them against the medical profession. My bad experiences were not the fault of the entire medical profession, and the majority of this profession are people with the best interests of their patients at heart.
I choose my doctors with care, and understand that they are my greatest allies in keeping my body healthy.
This is so beautiful and i can really feel the depth of your appreciation of how Serge Benhayon has inspired you to change your life and I can also feel the depth of love you hold within you. I can also say that I too feel a deep appreciation and love for Serge, as my life has also profoundly changed, I love life and am committed to life in a way I have never known or lived before.
Since Serge’s presentations on conventional medicine, I also was willing to re visit my attitude and became open and engaging with conventional medicine, which has changed from an alternative view I previously held. I was disillusioned but I blamed conventional medicine rather than look at the choices I was making in my life where I was exhausted and suffered other ailments.
In my younger days from a baby and young child I had asthma so chronic that I spent more time in hospital than at home, and also nearly lost my life on a few occasions. I never stopped to appreciate how conventional medicine had saved my life. So between conventional medicine and Serge’s presentation of living in a way that brings love and quality to life that I only want to live more and more each day…I am appreciative.
Beautiful Juile. Your story is very inspiring as to the changes we are capable of making in our lives. It never ceases to amaze me how much we can turn our lives around. Serge Benhayon, his family and other Universal Medicine practitioners have also been the source of inspiration for me to make similar changes in my life, for which I am deeply grateful.
This is an amazing story, Julie. Thank you for sharing. The commitment to life I feel in your change is very inspiring. Knowing that we are worth loving is the key to turn our life around and I too am very thankful to Serge Benhayon for showing me that.
Julie it is quite incredible how one man, Serge Benhayon, modelling true self-care, love and relationships has inspired so many to do the same. How you as one woman embracing these ways affected profound changes within yourself, your family and your life. The ‘magic of one’ is truly extraordinary and your blog empowers me to know that as one person my choices, all little changes I make to become more loving affect all others. How delightfully simple.
Thank you, Julie. This is an amazing testament to the esoteric teachings and the endless inspiration of Serge Benhayon. And you are an inspiration for transforming each aspect of your life, through your commitment to reclaiming who you truly are, and bringing that love to yourself, your family and everyone who comes into contact with you.
Beautifully written Julie. Your story is not only a personal triumph but one that many benefit from. As you have spoken about Serge “has met, accepted and understood me on every level, even at times when I have not been able to do so myself! His way is unimposing and is only ever loving, which means I have chosen to make changes for myself in my own time with no sense of pressure”. Seldom do we get to feel this from those around us be that family, friends, colleagues or others. What Serge offers us all, equally, always, is unparalleled and a true support for us as individuals and then for all of humanity.
Thank you Julie, you beautiful gorgeous woman. What a true inspiration you are to so many women. I am celebrating you, the woman that you are today and I have a huge appreciation for you for the choices you have made over the past 9 years.
“Through knowing Serge Benhayon over the last years, my life has changed hugely, in particular the love, care and sense of worth I now feel towards myself…”. I could write the same words in regards to myself and I know there are so many that can.
Thanks Julie, your story of developing, growing and nurturing is of course all instigated by you. You have steered yourself to where you are now full of love. It is remarkable how one man can inspire such change and evolution for yourself as well as the ripple effect that has on many other people in your life, without preaching or promoting anything. In addition, multiply that by hundreds of people like yourself only shows what an incredible person Serge Benhayon is.
How one woman faced up to breast cancer and with the love, help and support of Serge Benhayon, began to accept responsibility for her previous unkind choices that she had made for herself; and that by accepting her own disregard for her own wellbeing she has been able to turn around life and her children’s, all of whom now face a loving and supporting future full of joy.
Thank you Julie for such an honest and personal sharing. Serge Benhayon has also inspired myself and my family to truly and deeply care for ourselves and to take responsibility for our lives and health. Through this our relationships with all our extended family, friends and those in our community has become more open and more loving.
Thank you Julie for sharing such an honest account of how your life has changed since meeting Serge Benhayon. What resonates deeply with me is that “I have chosen to make changes for myself in my own time with no sense of pressure”. I have certainly never felt under any pressure to do anything either or become different. Rather, I have felt held in a deep loving understanding by Serge that whatever unhealthy choices I have been making, they are there because of a bigger picture and that they will self correct when I am ready to look into the hurts that are causing them. Not only do I feel held, but the bigger picture is held and I am treated like I have already self-corrected those behaviours – this takes away the tension of time and of not being all that I am all of the time – simply a learning each day and a willingness to be open to seeing what those unhealthy choices are and to feeling why they are there.
Thank You Julie for sharing your inspirational jurney ! As for your description And appreciation of Serge Benhayon And Universal Medicine , I fully agree ! A Living example Of true integrity And love for humanity.
Thank you Julie, amazing how your life has transformed and continues to do so.
Julie, this is such a beautiful blog. Your experience with breast cancer, your changes with conventional medicine and your redefining of motherhood is immensely powerful.
However, what I really love, is your reflection and appreciation of Serge Benhayon. It is really difficult to express how consistent and loving he is because it is something that I hadn’t seen in a person before. Now I see it in more and more people and within myself as we are inspired by Serge but even then . . . what Serge brings is a whole new level of living love and integrity.
Reading through this article has brought me more awareness of the beneficial benefits in my own life that Serge Benhayon has brought me by his unending care for humanity and ever consistent commitment to love and truth. Thank you Serge.
Julie these changes you have undergone are enormous and profound – it is extraordinary… for most to make even the smallest of changes in these sort of fundamental aspects of self care and self worth is pretty difficult (and rare). The power of true inspiration is very clear in what you’ve expressed and seems to be the missing piece. All the positive thinking, resolutions, trying to change etc., have never worked with any sustainability, but what you describe has now become a way of life for you. Thanks for sharing your story so openly, it is great to have such an example of the power of inspiration, provided by Serge Benhayon and his family.
I agree, Jenny. What Julie shares here is not the result of trying or putting effort into changing her life, but by being open to love and committing to her relationship with herself, her family and all of humanity. And step by step this way of being has naturally clearly changed her life.
Julie, thank you for sharing your experience. It is beautiful to read how you became aware that being in a family was not about controlling and imposing on your children but showing care towards yourself first … and then it all unfolded so naturally from that point. Whether a single mother or not, there is something here for us in regard to all relationships.
Julie your blog shares with us the beauty of the Esoteric Healing therapies and Western Medicine working together to heal the whole. We need them both. I know when I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I was not wanting to have chemotherapy in the fear that it would do more harm than good. Several years later, I can say I am extremely grateful for the chemotherapy and what it offers just as I am grateful for the Esoteric Healing modalities for showing me that there is another way to live – one that is self-honouring, nurturing and loving.
The way you have changed your life and your health and relationships is inspiring Julie. Serge Benhayon has inspired many people to make informed decisions. I too have learned about honouring and caring for my body in a much more loving way, and life smiles back!
Awesome Julie, a great testament to how the power of one person can make so much difference and how your power has made so much difference. I particularly love hearing about how many people’s relationships with their children has changed and how much they respond to being treated with the same respect and love as everyone deserves. It has been wonderful to feel how young people really do shine when simply met with consistent love.
Julie, thanks for sharing how you have been inspired by Serge Benhayon to make changes in your life. I especially relate to what you say about being a mum and having a family and how we as women can lose ourselves in that role. ‘…being in a family was not about controlling and imposing on my children, to be and become all that I would like them to be, but rather to show love and care towards myself, then this would happen naturally in the family, as they could accept and be themselves.’ This quote is something that I have learnt about family by being inspired by Serge Benhayon’s presentations and it has transformed my relationships and my life.
Very beautifully said Julie, how you have described Serge Benhayon is my experience too. It is amazing how many hundreds if not thousands of people have that same personal experience of Serge and all the time he freely, openly and generously shares with everyone. It is also my experience that Serge is very complementary about conventional medicine and has presented a model where esoteric medicine and conventional medicine work together as you have described complementing each other.
Thank you Julie, I love the way you describe Serge Benhayon’s loving consistency with everyone he meets. This has certainly been my experience here in Australia too. It is amazing to feel the incredible work that Serge does all over the world with every interaction whether it be one on one or with an audience of hundreds.
So many things jumped out at me Julie reading this how we often avoid and compound our bad choices through reward and comfort – I had a serious ouch there, knowing I’ve often pushed myself to exhaustion and loaded on sugar because I’m tired or have worked so hard. And yet as you share this doesn’t address anything, and what is needed is a stop, a step back to see where we are and how we’re living (a loving assessment or audit) and then see what supports us, going forward. I feel this in your approach and you’ve inspired me today to do that review. There is so much in what you offer here, what Universal Medicine offers, an approach of true care and a knowing that we always have a choice and self care is a key ingredient.
“In using conventional medicine and then feeling supported to look deeper within me, I have had an extremely positive experience with a life threatening disease.” How many people can say the same Julie? It’s true, “Serge Benhayon – one man has changed everything.” He has inspired so many people to look deeper, reflect on choices and make practical, self-loving decisions daily that makes an enormous difference to our lives, which comes with profoundness in its simplicity and being ordinary.
This is a gorgeous testimonial to Serge Benhayon, his family and you Julie. It is a life changing thing to be seen for who you really are, rather than the things that you do. How cool that we can all bring this to life, just as Serge does with love.
It is amazing to read the transformation you have undertaken Julie. It is deeply inspiring and a great tribute to Serge Benhayon, who very simply presents all of himself in the full knowing that we are the same as he is.
What you have shared here Julie of Serge Benhayon and his family and the way your life has developed since is so very inspiring and is true of my experience also. Taking care of oneself first, such a foreign concept once upon a time for me too, is such a basic fundamental in my life now and relationships and everything else unfolds from that in such magical and powerful ways, ways I could never have imagined.
Awesome blog Julie. All those deep changes, they all sound so true.
