My whole life I have felt trapped in my body. Now, I know that sounds a bit strange, but this is how it has felt for me. Bodies are dense, they get sick, they are subject to abuse both from ourselves and from others. In short – they get hurt and the pain goes deep. If I choose to not connect too deeply then I won’t get hurt, right? Wrong.
I have spent a lifetime fighting my body and perceiving it as some ‘enemy’ that needed to be at best conquered and at worst abandoned. I was under the belief that our bodies let us down; they shake, they tremble, they vomit, they cry, they bleed, they break, they shut down, they faint, they get SO exhausted… Basically, my body did not feel like a safe place for me to be, but seeing as I had nowhere else to go, the only option was to ‘grin and bear it’. And so I did, through the many ailments that would come and seemingly go, only to come again. Nothing too serious to warrant immediate medical attention, but enough to leave me feeling depleted, depressed, disconnected (but from what?), anxious and exhausted. At one stage it all felt ‘too much’ and I suffered from bouts of anxiety and panic attacks. I was a nervous wreck, ever ready to fight or take flight.
Despite this, I have always been a cheerful person but I could never sustain the joy for long. My joy was punctuated with sudden bouts of excitement followed by dark pits of despair. I mostly avoided doctors (I didn’t trust them) so I never got an official diagnosis, preferring instead to see endless practitioners of acupuncture, homeopathy, natural medicines, reflexology etc. – you name it, I tried it. Some would seem to work for a while but the same complaint would resurface years later, either with twice the fury or disguised as another condition altogether.
It wasn’t until I attended a presentation by Serge Benhayon, one Friday night in Byron Bay, Australia that my moment of grace came. Here was this guy, very normal looking considering the backdrop (Byron Bay is a mecca for every style of ‘healer’ under the sun) standing there in a collared shirt (a rarity in those parts and you can imagine my disappointment that there was not a tattoo or feather in sight) and talking about Esoteric Medicine. The short of it being that – we are love and if we choose to not live this love, then we invite a whole manner of illness and dis-ease into our bodies simply because:
It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.
And then, slowly, slowly over the next 3 years…it dawned on me. The reason I was so depleted and exhausted was because I had turned my back and walked away from the love that I am, that we all are. In full reaction to the lack of love I could see being lived in the world and without seemingly realising it, I rejected love, I rejected myself, I rejected the body that I had come to view as my prison, and…I rejected God.
But…
Our bodies are not prisons made of flesh, far from it. Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world. Once this is felt, it is extremely hard to continue living recklessly, at odds with our bodies and this includes all the ‘perceived good’ we try to inflict on them in an effort to constantly ‘pull them into line’ and ‘conquer the enemy’ when really, in this state, we are our own worst enemy because we are running scared from what we know is true:
We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that enhouses us all.
If we listen to this, then we let go of the reins that we are gripping for dear life and allow ourselves to follow the impulses that naturally pulse forth from this our greater body. We allow our breath to sync to the rhythm of Nature, the breath of God – the All of Us – and the panic subsides. A body that is brought back to this harmony is a body that will not ‘let you down’ because all that happens to it from this point is in accordance to the bigger picture, the greater plan, our true home and any illness experienced will simply be a clearing of what has been allowed to accumulate from being in resistance to this pull. Our bodies do this regardless of whether we choose this or not, for their particles belong to the Universe and answer to that call and not to our self imposed one. However, true health comes from not overriding or resisting this but accepting and allowing our bodies to respond to what they so naturally are designed to respond to – Love.
Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.
It is a bit like having the ability to sing like an angel but never opening your mouth to sing. Holding back that beauty and that Divine expression is a pain far greater than what can be physically inflicted on the body and that physical pain serves as a marker for the love that we hold back.
Whether we accept it or not, our bodies are forever responding to the Universe that we are an innate part of, no different to the way our oceans respond to the moon or our trees respond to the wind. So, how do we respond to this call – do we fight, or do we flow? The quality of our health is in our hands. More specifically, it is in every particle that we allow to move in tune with this Divine symphony. Thus, the choice to ‘fight’ or ‘flow’ is ours to make, in every single moment and with every given breath.
Inspired by the blog ‘What is true health’ by Rachel Mascord
Medicine and Serge Benhayon 
We are love, we are divine, we are multidimensional, all the things we know deep within yet our society does it utmost best to keep us numb and dumb to this fact.
Liane, I loved reading this and this stood out to me, ‘is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love’. I relate to this more and more and the extent, when the separation occurs from this love, it is painful.
Everything is everything and nothing happens for the sake of just happening. What if the God or the Universe is gently nudging us to say, you are part of us, come back home. Maybe one day we will all wake up to this realisation and drop the vices that separate us.
“we are love and if we choose to not live this love, then we invite a whole manner of illness and dis-ease into our bodies simply because:It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” It’s the ultimate responsibility to live the love we are, and in the future we may view being our essence as true well-being.
What I love about your expression Lianne is that it distills the divinity you talk about and this doesn’t have to do with words, it is the vibration of your living quality that expands beyond them and comes here to my desk with the same vibrancy that was firstly lived from your particles… which come from the same source as mine and then I resonate and know exactly what you mean, not with my head, but with my whole body.
“Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.”
And here we have it in a nutshell the answer to all illness and disease.
LE, totally agree, it is the ‘answer to all illness and disease’. So what is stopping us from connecting to this? Is there a possibility many of us do not want to be responsible and continue to play ignorant, and would rather others took care of it instead. With this in mind, it is no wonder there is an increase in illness and disease. We ALL play a role in this.
Being in a body of love and yet, not connecting to and expressing that love is a dis-ease in itself, and we probably will not need a secondary or tertiary enactment of its pain in obvious lifestyle choices or the way we express ourselves before it manifests itself in a physical form, while the simple choice to surrender has the power to reverse everything.
We are very much at the helm deciding how we are with our bodies and life, do we flow or fight … a great question and one to deeply consider for the choice is always there for both.
Our body is so naturally divine, that the moment we don´t sabotage the connection to it and allow expansion and lightness in our bodies, we get catapulted into the greatest non imaginable power and wisdom. As the bodies particles are made from that abundant source we constantly have to put effort in to not be as aligned as it could be.
For so many years I felt let down by my body when it got sick yet again whilst having no regard for the simple steps that I could lovingly take to look after and nurture it. Understanding that we are all part of the universe and our particles are on loan to us has transformed how I approach self-care and I no longer feel a victim of circumstance when I get sick but accept that whatever is releasing is no longer required.
How many of us fight or have fought our bodies, I know I have and at times still do, but I know that all of the answers to my woes are held within the body. In the past, there were times when I would walk alongside my body as if not fully connected to it, so if there is one thing that I have learnt from Universal Medicine, it is to take my body with me in every situation and to feel my feet at all times. The anxiety has subsided, and my confidence has grown beyond anything that I could have imagined for myself. The relationship we have with our bodies is just a reflection of how we feel about ourselves.
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” No wonder exhaustion is a plague throughout the world today.
Hence why there are so many substitutes available that seemingly are love, but are only a mere copy to the true vibration that is missing.
If love is our true source of fuel and we reject it then we are choosing what is not love which is an energy source that is extremely depleting.
My whole body surrenders to itself just by reading this:
‘We allow our breath to sync to the rhythm of Nature, the breath of God – the All of Us – and the panic subsides. A body that is brought back to this harmony is a body that will not ‘let you down’ because all that happens to it from this point is in accordance to the bigger picture, the greater plan, our true home and any illness experienced will simply be a clearing of what has been allowed to accumulate from being in resistance to this pull.’
‘the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.’
This is a pain we all carry and yet often we don’t want to feel it and we try to convince ourselves we are okay, until our body tell us differently.
‘It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.’ This is well worth remembering when we are being stubborn and getting ourselves in the way.
We become stubborn, when we avoid the next step of love that already awaits and simply wants to be activated.
Any conditions I have on humanity and on God are in the way of being a true vehicle for the Divine Plan that we are all part of. And as long as I hang on to them I am part of the other Plan, the Loveless Plan.
Profound wisdom being shared: ‘we are love and if we choose to not live this love, then we invite a whole manner of illness and dis-ease into our bodies simply because: It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.’ And then we wonder why there is much illness and disease in our world.
I could feel it myself last year when there was much more love on offer and part of me said no to that, how that influenced my whole body including my blood values.
It has been three years since I wrote this piece so it is interesting for me to revisit what I have expressed. It all remains completely true and relevant and I can feel how I have deepened in my knowing that when we reconnect to the love that we are, we are instruments for the Universal Wisdom that pours through us.
Alternatively, when we align to all that is not love, we become instruments to all that is not Divine and thereafter are used as an instrument to express from this source of energy.
What is being more clearly revealed to me as I learn to surrender more and more of that which I have acquired to protect me that in truth does not support me in my evolution back to Soul (love), is that I don’t just have conditions on God, I have conditions on being a god. So there is so much more love, truth, joy and wisdom to embrace as I allow more of this inner godliness to express forth.
This does not mean I get all weird and start acting with false might thinking I am above and beyond seemingly menial tasks, far from it! It simply means that when we reconnect to this aspect of ourselves, the inner godliness we all have access to, we allow more of who we truly are to permeate into all aspects of our life and become much more real in the process – a true meeting of Heaven and Earth. I love it.
I recognize: ‘If I choose to not connect too deeply then I won’t get hurt, right? Wrong.’
For when I am not present in my body another energy than love gets and takes all the space and the movements that follow are not healing for myself or others.
Learning to feel the love expand in my body and not attach it to another, whether that is a person or God, is changing how my body feels. If I am love and let love flow through my body there is a very fulfilling feeling inside and a lot less tiredness.
Whenever you are struggling in life- tune into your body and you will know, that the problem does not come from the body, but from our greatest enemy, when not connected with the energy of our soul- our mind.
Saying Yes to our body means equally committing in full to life.
When we are regarding our body not as something that needs to function and to deliver what WE want, it is the greatest adviser and guide in life. Even when there are injuries or pain.
Yes there is constant communication and support to deepen our relationship with our body and with life.
Being love is natural, everything else, even only a harshness in the voice e.g. is a sickness, that will eventually magnify itself in the body.
“…we are our own worst enemy because we are running scared from what we know is true:
We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that enhouses us all.” Oh yes. Accepting our own glorious grandness is something we will most definitely run from given half a chance. But what I am at last appreciating is the lack of responsibility that comes with this, and that although it’s still a strong temptation, it’s not really an option anymore.
Whenever I get cross with my body and start to blame it for things I know this is an excuse to avoid the reflection of harmony or love that it is offering me through its divine particles which are on speed dial to God.
What an amazing piece of writing, thank you Liane, you bring in the bigger Universal picture and it all makes such sense, it just feels like the absolute truth. So many gems of wisdom shared including “we are love and if we choose to not live this love, then we invite a whole manner of illness and dis-ease into our bodies simply because: It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” From my own experience I have to agree, living making loving choices is so supportive to the body, and when I am connected to the love within I feel I’m a part of something much greater than myself.
The transformation in you is very inspiring. Showing us all the magic of God.
“Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” From the arrogance of thinking we are able to carve out an independent life where we separate ourselves from others under the umbrella of protection to living a full life that allows both people in, and our expression to flow freely out knowing that every movement and word we make affects not only ourselves but everyone else too.
Fighting the Universe, our body and God with every move and choice we make leads us to illness and disease. Nonsense? I wouldn’t say so as from experience all my ailments have started from unloving choices/ways.
‘Do we fight or do we flow’ – such a beautiful phrase to carry with us. Our bodies sure do know how to support us but it is a case of letting ourselves go there and be open to receiving what our bodies are wanting to share.
I can so relate to the life you used to live Liane, right down to the panic attacks. But as you came to understand, and I too, “It takes more energy to resist love than to be it” and I was sure existing – definitely not living – in a way that was not welcoming love into my life in any way. Now that doorway is wide open and the love keeps pouring on it, and if the flow should begin to dwindle it’s a sure sign that I have something to very carefully look at in my life.
“Physical pain serves as a marker for the love that we hold back” – no wonder we prefer to bury and/or numb the pain – to the point where it seems as though being love has to be a conscious effort when all that is needed is to surrender.
Love your blog Liane. I could relate to fighting the body as something to be conquered and at worst abandoned and the pain that accompanied this. To know that we are fighting love, fighting God and fighting ourselves was a revelation and that the pain in my body was because of this. I am learning to truly appreciate my body knowing that it is so much more than the functioning vehicle I have used it for in the past, to get things done regardless of what effect it has on the body.
I also remember regularly having a feeling of restriction, like wearing a tight rubber suit. It might have just as you describe a restriction that is inherent in the body.
Our bodies are ‘vehicles of expression’ that can either respond to all that God is, or all that he-is-not.
Or can go back-and-forth between the two, making life complicated.
When we hold back what we feel, it takes such an incredible amount of energy. Feeling a connection with others and allowing that out is our bodies’ natural way of being – actually what they were designed to do. So when we get stuck in a rut of our own holding-back-ness, we stifle and squash our bodies’ natural expression – it’s literally like we’re compressing ourselves, the very essence and particles of who we are, into a smaller space than we were designed to occupy.
I love how you offer the connection that the particles of our body are eternally responsive to a greater harmonious whole, and so rather than our body letting us down or fighting against us it is there offering us a pull back to harmony.
Fiona it really exposes our attitude that we are smarter than the body, when in fact we are out of alignment with the intelligence of the universe.
Loved re-reading your blog today. ” we are love and if we choose to not live this love, then we invite a whole manner of illness and dis-ease into our bodies simply because:…..It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” These words have really made an impact on me. Could the reason why humanity is so exhausted is because we have turned our backs on being the love we are from?
‘It is a bit like having the ability to sing like an angel but never opening your mouth to sing’ Gosh, and/or we all miss out on every angel that doesn’t sing her own song.
Indeed what a shame – one reason more to sing in full volume, so that others get reminded of their own voice.
‘It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.’ This really makes me realise why we end up so exhausted we spend so much time resisting being the love that we truly are, when we realise we have the ability to change our choices to be love, and make our life about love we no longer need to feel that exhaustion, and our life takes on a natural flow.
I can’t think of ANYTHING that could hurt more than rejecting God and Love and yet that is what we see prolifically in the world and the utterly exhausting and painful consequences.
That this is our greatest hurt and that we do not even know it is, is our greatest tragedy as humans.
OUCH!
This sounds like a relationship with your body that has truly deepened and evolved based on an understanding as to why we are here in the first place. This supports you to not attack your body .- but look at it with an understanding and awareness that supports you to surrender and work with the body
It is about embodying the love that we are, to not resist the natural flow of the universe of which our body is equal part of, but surrender to God, that’s my big learning at the moment to not fight or reject my body,I have been doing that long enough but to respond to what my body asks for and what I know, a joy to live heaven on earth.
Annelies we could say that to fight or reject our body is to fight or reject God, as the particles that make up the body belong to the universe – the body of God. It puts disregard of ourselves, self abuse, and self neglect into a whole new universal and divine perspective.
True Melinda, it makes it very evident to say I fight and or reject God, which means I will not emanate with every particle that our bodies are divine.
Your comment Annelies really highlights how ludicrous our fight is!
‘Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.’ So true Liane, if we all began to live and express the love we naturally are I am sure we would see a rapid decline in statistics on illness and disease. This simple choice to be open to love is the greatest medicine that could ever be prescribed.
To consider that there is a universal harmonious flow that innately runs through the particles of our body makes me appreciate how in our physical body there is a great intelligence we can connect with and how through honouring our whole body we actually also honour our other-worldliness – we are so much more than just physical beings and yet through our physical body can connect with our true beingness.
“The real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love” – this leaves me speechless as I can feel how much and how long I have lived in denial of that love, trying to justify and accept the dis-ease that I have created as given.
It does definitely make sense that the tension we feel is bigger than just the tasks we have to complete or the exams we have to take, it is a tension that can be felt doing nothing or being in a safe well known environment. The tension is indeed that we are living so much less than the true love we are and are from.
Do we fight or do we flow? a simple choice of which we can start in any moment in how we care for ourselves and our body and very quickly things begin to change.
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it” with this understanding it is no surprise that there is epidemic of exhaustion and also a simple prescription to restore our vitality, be all the love that you are.
‘It is a bit like having the ability to sing like an angel but never opening your mouth to sing.’ A beautiful way to explain holding back, not connecting to or expressing the love that we are.
Whatever we say, whatever we do, and however much we try to deny it, we are all interconnected and there is literally as the scientists now know… No separation.
You have beautifully captured the ‘flow’ that you write about Liane, as it can be felt as a spaciousness and surrender as I read.
Liane, this sentence really stood out for me ‘It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.’ I spent about 40 years living in protection by not connecting to the true love I am, and I know from experience how exhausting that was.
“…the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” Oh my goodness, the truth in this is actually painful but totally awesome. Time to stop fighting and start surrendering to the love and expressing it.
Just reading this blog made me let go and breathe a little bit more deeply. Reminding myself that I’m part of something much greater takes the pressure off – suddenly it’s not up to me to manage and control every aspect of my life. I can let go and trust that we are naturally taken care of, and all we have to do is align to what is naturally there for us. It’s not about giving up on making decisions and taking responsibility, trusting that fate alone will get us there, but as you’ve beautifully described Liane, surrendering to the flow that is already there and we are naturally a part of, instead of fighting against it.
This is a beautiful bit of writing Liane, and I love what is shared about the prison. It made me stop and consider how I am sitting, because even in the way we sit we can be holding ourselves less open and actually in discomfort without realising, and if we do that in something as simple as sitting, how are we in every movement and interaction we make.
Thank you Liane – do we fight or do we flow with the Universe is something I can ask myself to check in with how I’m really feeling – not in a mental way as such but with simple honesty from my whole body and being.
If ‘it takes more energy to resist love than to be it’ could that be why we are all so exhausted?
‘We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that enhouses us all.’ A beautiful truth that allows us to celebrate the joy of living.
Liane, my body sings reading this today to feel the enormousness of who we are and yet the simplicity of it for in fact the simplest thing of all is to flow with the rhythm of who we are, the rhythm of the Universe. For ‘We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that enhouses us all.’ I do not fully comprehend the vastness of this but can feel the absolute truth of what is offered here and the deep knowing that I am part of this and my ‘job’ is to live in the order to that vastness, of that greater plan of which we are all a part if we but choose to live it. Anything else creates and adds to the disharmony we see and feel in us and the world around us.
‘It takes more energy to resist love than to be it’ and yet we continue to resist what is innate… at great expense to the body and to the largely loveless world we live in. It is our responsibility to connect to and live what is our truth and surrender to the divine symphony that is waiting for us to awaken to it.
Funny (not) how many of us react to the lack of love we see in the world by turning our back on love as you have described. The best way is the opposite ~ to fully embrace and live the love that we all are at heart. This is exactly what Serge Benhayon has done and in that reflection shows another way that has ignited and healed thousands like you and me.
It kind of reminds me of Shakespeare – To Fight, or To Flow? That is the question! To be honest, the majority of us are choosing to fight but that does not mean all is lost, for when the pull is as strong as love, somehow I know that it will always win out in the end.
I have had times like this as well where my body did not feel like a safe place to be ‘they shake, they tremble, they vomit, they cry, they bleed, they break, they shut down, they faint, they get SO exhausted’. I guess .. in fact I know! This comes down to the love and connection within and that we have with our body as this feels completely different to me now. I am claiming me, my body and loving me more than I ever have done before and when we start to do this it is not only very empowering there is a huge shift/change in the relationship with our body. Also what you have expressed here is so simple and so wise ‘we are love and if we choose to not live this love, then we invite a whole manner of illness and dis-ease into our bodies simply because’. It shows we always have a choice. So what do we choose? Love or what is not Love? and we are given this choice over and over again until we finally get to understand and feel the importance of this and the importance of truly choosing love .. something I am still and will forever be learning.
‘Thus, the choice to ‘fight’ or ‘flow’ is ours to make, in every single moment and with every given breath.’ If we were to consistently make the choice to flow with and in the divine love that we are innately we would have so much more vitality, as we would not be using tons of energy to fight against what is our natural way.
Knowing that the body is love already, and that we do not need to become something to be worthy of love from another, turns life as we know it on its head.
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it. My head would say to that, what are you talking about, I don’t feel a thing, there’s no resistance here, I’m a loving person. And the body would say, please, stop filling me up with all and sundry so that you can feel enough, just let me do what I do best, and be love.
Our bodies are indeed not ramming blocks that are there to shield us from life’s intensity. Sure it can be intense and very challenging at times, but life is not there to over throw us and to get us down. We are certainly not there to try and get through it. It is only through listening to the wisdom of the body and surrendering to it that we can begin to feel at ease and in flow with life and this alone brings a great freedom and joy with it.
Liane what you have shared regarding our separation from God / the universe is so important for it is this disconnection that is the root cause of ALL illness and disease; you have also gracefully outlined the remedy. What a critical article for a site such as this, which is devoted to presenting the truth about our health and well-being, and the potential of the marriage of western and esoteric medicine.
‘we are love and if we choose to not live this love, then we invite a whole manner of illness and dis-ease into our bodies..’ It’s really that simple. No excuses, no blame, just a simple equation to support us back to being Love.
Once we are at home in our bodies – have embodied Heaven on Earth – we can reflect this to all others, offering them a reminder of a way of being they can then begin to embrace for themselves.
Your life is how I saw life Lianne, especially how you viewed your body “I have spent a lifetime fighting my body and perceiving it as some ‘enemy’ that needed to be at best conquered and at worst abandoned.” I also saw my body as an inconvenience and an annoyance if it didn’t operate the way I wanted it to, I was my bodies harshest critic. It is only through the continual reflection offered by Serge Benhayon that I have got to understand what it means to care and nurture the body and as you so beautifully express, “Our bodies are not prisons made of flesh, far from it. Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.”
Do we fight with the Universe or flow with it? Great question and I know from feeling the tension in my body I mostly, even on a subtle level fight this. However, I know flow and deep within this is what I choose. A truly awesome blog that as I was reading could feel more connected within my body, our true purpose and tension releasing.
“I was under the belief that our bodies let us down” – i too was under this belief, so chose to get out of my body and into my head and also as a youngster day-dream to escape reality. Coming back to my body – after years of abandonment is a true joy. Accepting this is the only body I have in this lifetime and spending quality time loving and nurturing my body has been a revelation to me. I now love being in and with my body – and Esoteric Yoga is an amazing practical tool to use as a way of grounding this and supporting me to stay in and with my body.
“Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.” And we can “allow our breath to sync to the rhythm of Nature, the breath of God – the All of Us”. I love this blog and the invitation it offers to connect more deeply and appreciate. Thank you.
Every choice we make in reaction impacts the body in one way or another. We not only resist love but we also resist evolution.
“Our bodies are not prisons made of flesh, far from it. Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.” I love this blog. Reading it reconnects me to the multidimensionality we are enhoused in our 3-dimensional bodies.
Fight or flow? What a good question. We waste so much energy fighting no wonder we are exhausted. Allow the flow of love in our bodies and we have access to all the energy we need.
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” This is so true and absurd. Many people in the world have two things in common 1) they would like more love in their life and 2) they are exhausted. The truth is we are totally showered with Love, it is an energy that is always available to us as it is who we are but we exhaust ourselves by resisting it. Go figure!!!
The “Love” we are speaking about here is true love as described in Unimedpedia Love: http://www.unimedliving.com/unimedpedia/word-index/unimedpedia-love.html which does not contain an ounce of emotion. The emotion that we call love is everything but love and is exhausting – another ingredient in this crazy situation we have put ourselves in!
To know that we are held in the body of God and that this body is nothing but love is a knowing that changes all. It exposes the belief that we just have to “grin and bear it” as the lie it is, a lie that so many of us continue to live unquestioned. To allow ourselves to surrender to the grandness of this body of love will slowly but surely dismantle all that has kept us away from the glory of a life that is naturally ours to live.
Surrender is the word. Surrendering into the Godliness that we all hold within.
Great reminder Liane how our body is a reflection of the way we live, and how when we live with love first, our body also lives from that love too, the more we express love, the more our body is supported by that love from within.
I’ve discovered through much trial and feelings of general malaise and many other persistent minor symptoms that fighting what the body shares is exhausting. There is no other more loving moment than this one to choose the quality of my next movement, asking does it ‘feel’ like it supports my body in a harmonious flow?
“The real pain that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” This is huge. And when truly understood and embraced, can turn round the whole concept of psychology and medicine as it is practiced today.
Gorgeous Linda in expressing how it is actually a deeper and truer connection we crave with ourselves first and also how through living this movement it offers others that they can do the same.
It is true, it is our choice to fight or flow – making life much harder than it needs to be at times feels like an ingrained behaviour which we cannot escape from, but there are many now within the Universal Medicine student body who have done exactly that, thanks to the commitment and consistency of Serge Benhayon and the Universal Medicine team.
Love this about fight or flow: ‘…our bodies are forever responding to the Universe that we are an innate part of, no different to the way our oceans respond to the moon or our trees respond to the wind. So, how do we respond to this call – do we fight, or do we flow?’ – We always have a choice and we are connected to so much more than just the physical. It is so amazing to understand this and actually feel it.
You express it so clearly Liane, do we fight or do we flow, we are part of God, of the Universe and our bodies respond to that call, despite what we do, and so fighting heaps more on the body, fold however allows us and our bodies to be the natural part of the Universe it is designed to be. This line is so precious to read … ‘Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.’ It’s our choice always, but ultimately we cannot deny we are of God, our bodies show us.
Very clearly laid open how by already rejecting our bodies we reject our whole part in the universe. So we fight who we are instead of simply being who we are.
Yes it is a bit exhausting to fight the whole universe.
What a beautifully written article and one that I can easily understand with so many gems, “We allow our breath to sync to the rhythm of Nature, the breath of God – the All of Us – and the panic subsides. A body that is brought back to this harmony is a body that will not ‘let you down’ because all that happens to it from this point is in accordance to the bigger picture, the greater plan, our true home and any illness experienced will simply be a clearing of what has been allowed to accumulate from being in resistance to this pull. ” We only want to see a small part of the picture and in this you only get a small part of the plan. If we take things bigger we can see the “bigger picture”. In other words there is a direct relationship between how you live and what you see. Live small and you view will mirror that, live large and you view will mirror that. We have the ability to measure our life and you only need look around you to see that and if you get caught doing life time will pass you by. This article is opening us up and asking for more and more, you can respond or not, your choice.
Inspiring to read this blog this morning, as it helps me to reconnect to my body and to let it flow in its natural rhythm, a rhythm that is expressed in being playful and in a body that is in joy, the joy of just being me, readily available for the day for whatever I have to do or comes to the fore to deal with.
Roller-flow-ster. Life has its ups and downs and twists and turns, but can we go with the flow and not take it on? It’s something I’m working on. As ever, I love your writing, Liane.
I read your blog some time ago and have come across it again today. What you have shared makes a lot of sense to me. I can see how when I go against the natural flow I create tension and complication, however when I don’t resist there is a more harmonious feel to life. I have been so used to living in disregard to my body, it has taken some time to form new loving habits, however the benefits can be felt very quickly.
It does take a bit of commitment to form new loving habits but it’s so worth it because our body responds almost immediately, which gives us the feedback to keep going, until respecting and living in harmony with our body starts to feel more and more normal. Anything non-loving then really stands out as not being of that same quality.
“Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” Re-reading your post Liane this sentence struck home today. So much exhaustion in the world – and further disease – all come about because we do not connect with the fiery light we are and we are all from. When the whole world is aware of this maybe the health services will not be under such overwhelm. We do have a choice in how we live our lives.
Reading this really brings it home how we choose to struggle by ignoring that we are The Son of God first and foremost, and that it is us that creates the struggle by denying ourselves this, and choosing a lesser way to live. It makes sense that our choices will either create space within our bodies or create a denseness which inevitably leads to illness and dis-ease.
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” This line really stood out for me. It is quite alarming that we don’t know and understand this. That it actually takes more energy to resist being the love that we naturally already are…..how crazy is that.
Love is so simple and requires no effort when it is felt and offered without an investment. It is when we bring in the barrage of ideals and beliefs and crossroads of doubt that we fall into the ill health that governs our current world.
“It wasn’t until I attended a presentation by Serge Benhayon, one Friday night in Byron Bay, Australia that my moment of grace came.” Serge Benhayon has graced so many people’s lives by presenting the Ageless Wisdom we all come from. I can not but deeply appreciate him and what he brings. Thank you for sharing Liane.
A timely read for me right now in more ways than one ‘do we fight or do we flow?’ even when I ‘think’ I am flowing it is actually the opposite and on some level, no matter how small it may be, I am fighting from flowing. Just as I am writing this I have also seen how I ‘think’ (thinking again .. really not good for us!) of how much I have to do and so my body has been running in the subtle ‘doing’ energy constantly. However I KNOW that when we are connected to our essence and innate love so much gets done, in a quality that feels effortless. So really, fighting is just not worth it … literally. It is crazy the games we play, whether out of fear or stubbornness. I love what you share about the particles in our body belong to the Universe. So simply and beautifull and magical if we allow it. Again more sense … and truth from Serge Benhayon ‘The short of it being that – we are love and if we choose to not live this love, then we invite a whole manner of illness and dis-ease into our bodies simply because: It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.’ We are so much more than our physical bodies but we still need to cherish, care for and love them. Thank you.
This is such a gorgeous piece of writing, deeply touching as it expands us out to the far reaches of the universe and back, to be tenderly present in our bodies again with all the wisdom and love required to live in harmony with ourselves and with each other.
I love coming back to this blog. It is the knowing within each of us that once we reconnect with the fact that our bodies are not just flesh and blood but divinity in form, and that each particle of our body is a particle that belongs to the universe, that we then cannot keep the recklessness going, is the very reason why we resist choosing our divinity, our love and hence the incredible potential to live harmoniously and in fact gloriously. All those idahos we want to keep hold of are a part of that recklessness and we stand by them so firmly to face off who we really are, the beauty and grace that awaits us.
It takes a lot to quiet the natural inner spark that is designed to naturally burn bright.
I do prefer to flow but that awareness has not always been with me. So coming from that place where I was unaware and not living in accordance with all that I am part of, has still its repercussions in my body and behavioural habits. These now present themselves one by one to be looked at and to let go of, a beautiful way of reconnecting to a way of living that is presented to me by choosing love to be my guide in life.
The choice is to fight or flow. Beautifully simple.
If we do not hold steady and know in full who we truly are, we will be sold a lie we willingly buy that serves to bury such truth beneath a rubble of imposed ideals and ‘ways to be’ that have us moving in a way that is far from the love we innately are. By re-connecting to our body we re-connect with the particles that still dance in tune with the breath that breathed them forth – the beholding light of Thy Heavenly Father whose body, breath and love we are forever held within. True resurrection of the Soul’s light here on Earth begins with the choice to breathe our true breath once again and by honouring the vehicle through which this breath is able to be breathed forth into the world.
Our way of living just in our mind is like owning a Ferrari and driving in first gear. Sure you will probably feel annoyed and upset and ‘let down’. But how this might change once you uncovered your mistake. And so I feel you ask us all to consider Liane what living life with all of our body might be like. I for one am ready to go for it with God.
‘Our bodies are not prisons made of flesh but heaven made.’ Beautiful Liane – it is when we surrender to this fact, when we realise our bodies are part of a massive universal order with an all important role to play we realise we have a grand a responsible part. Every movement we make is either in sync with the universe or not. Our bodies are the hand of God on the earthly plane.
Your blog moved me to tears this morning. From someone who control has played a big part in my life and drive, I have been learning to ‘let go and let God’ and return to being the love that I am and letting what needs to unfold, unfold. it’s not been without its challenges, but it is so worth it and I appreciated myself taking the steps to let go and be love.
This was so beautifull to read, every word felt like the most exquisite poetry (I do not normally like poetry!), it flowed, it was easy to read but most of all it was asking the reader to contemplate, see something, our body another way and you provide the space for us to do this. This is a great to one ponder on .. ‘It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.’ Please write some more 💕
When it actually takes more energy to resist love than to be it the utter extreme of how we live in contrast to what otherwise would be the most natural thing for us is exposed, ie an entire existence created to oppose everything God, the universe and we in essence are. Truly something to ponder on.
It is indeed quite an experience to come to the understanding and awareness that our troubles are simply caused by us rejecting love. It sounds completely crazy until you experience the truth of it and then it becomes a totally life changing revelation.
Our body is really like a best friend, a body of love, ‘Holding back that beauty and that Divine expression is a pain far greater than what can be physically inflicted on the body and that physical pain serves as a marker for the love that we hold back.’
I’m re-inspired to ‘flow’ after re-reading this blog. Yes, when I live in accord with my body there is joy and bountiful health, but when I hold back ‘just a little’ from honouring all of me then a dullness descends because I’m fighting the natural flow of the Universe, I’m fighting Love.
“…the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” – Is it that we don´t love ourselves because we are disconnected to the body of love we are part of or is it the lack of self-love that keeps us from re-connecting to it? It seems to be a loop we are caught in, ie. only as long as we feed into it. The moment we either begin to love ourselves and or connect to the possibility of being in a field of love (being loved and being love in essence) we start shaking the chains of lovelessness.
We most certainly have a natural way of being which is to live and express love, and it is within us all, I guess how healthy we are is all about how close to expressing in a loving way we can muster. Can we appreciate ourselves and the world around us, can we bring understanding and compassion to the fore in all our observations and interactions. These are simple measures of the love we either hold or the choice we have made to reject that love and seek a diversion from this, no matter what, the option is always there to live with more love and enjoy life more by seeing the bigger picture of us being here on earth to return to where we came from, all of us, not as individuals but as part of a whole.
Do we fight or do we flow …. to feel what you share here Liane, that we, our bodies are part of the Universe and forever ready to respond to that call, all we have to do is flow.
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” – if we were to consider for a moment that this would be true the urgent question arises how can we not be aware of this fact. Obviously we are too much in reaction to everything that is not love, around us and as well in our own way of being, it appears to be too painful to feel the love as then we would also feel and admit the overwhelming pain of lovelessness, and we would be challenged to make a conscious and very deliberate choice instead of pretending that we don’t have and constantly make a choice. The difference would be in responsibility to either add to the lovelessness or live the love that we are and reflect true love in a loveless world.
“the lack of love I could see being lived in the world” makes it acceptable if not normal to give up on the love that we are. Yet the reflection of one man, Serge Benhayon, was enough to bring you back to knowing there is love to be lived and the body is our way back to living it – a forever friend, not foe.
Great question – “do we fight, or do we flow?” and man’o’man, when I fight it, it is exhausting! and when I flow, it is effortless.
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” When I heard this fact presented by Serge Benhayon I knew I was hearing the truth and a call of God to be all the love that I am.
“Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” Absolutely – this is a truth that cannot be denied.
“It is a bit like having the ability to sing like an angel but never opening your mouth to sing. Holding back that beauty and that Divine expression is a pain far greater than what can be physically inflicted on the body and that physical pain serves as a marker for the love that we hold back.”Never before have i been presented with a medicine that reads ‘you are everything already’ beginning from a confirmation that feels so innately true is the start of a remarkable return journey back to love.
It feels like to me that this body responds to a part of life that is far greater than this life. There is so much more to us than sleep, eat, work, health, relationships that we can feel our bodies asking for. Fighting this and focusing on human life without considering the quality of the life we lead has and does lead us to destruction. Following these messages from the body I am learning about the part of us that is greater than this life but completely respectful to life that is needed in order to allow the body and the universe to work together, the universe can’t express in it’s fullness through an exhausted body, so I choose to look at what leads to such exhaustion in my daily life. Living in this way feels far grander for all parties (me, humanity, the universe) than fighting what the body is so strongly calling for – to connect and work together.
Liane, wow, I now have a greater understanding of my own wilfulness where I am attempting to command ‘my’ body as I wish while ignoring the greater call and pull it feels to be part of where it naturally belongs, the universe. This touched me deeply today to know that we are part of something huge, and the question always is, do we flow with that or do we fight it? And our bodies are caught in that cross-fire, forever showing us where and how we can be.
Our body represents the part we play in the whole universe. We therefore hold a magnificent responsibility in everything we express.
Denying the body love and true care is saying no to the connection and wisdom it holds. Reading this blog again has deepened my understanding of self-love immensely and I feel it really starts with the acknowledgment that we are indeed Divine.
Such a beautiful blog to read Liane, you completely turn the tide on our predilection for blaming the body for all it’s ills, for letting us down in the face of our endless pursuits and desires in life. To understand that ‘It takes more energy to resist love than to be it’ is profoundly life changing I agree, and is the most sensible explanation l’ve come across for the degree of ill health, disease and dis-harmony we accept living with today.
Totally agree Jenny, and a common misconception that under pins much of mordern medicine. The body just gets old and begins to be disease ridden.
So true Luke, it is time to crack this concept that ageing means the body breaks down and is dis-eased. An older body can be just as harmonious as a younger one… and many students of Universal Medicine are testimony to that.
Again totally agree Jenny.
Oh this is just gorgeous… ‘do we fight or do we flow’? Do we fight ourselves or flow with the grandest of the love that makes us… what a crazy but all important question for a humanity that has lost its way choosing the fight instead. Our bodies are heaven-made… when we accept that, wow how the world will change.
Understanding our body is a vessel for expression of love, connection to God, and resisting love is what is causing us deep pain and sadness can support us to make more loving choices. Appreciating how precious and delicate we are is key. This explains why exhaustion is so widespread, ‘It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.’ This is so, so true because when we choose to connect to our body, to love, exhaustion is no longer part of the equation but vitality, joy and harmony can be lived.
When we choose the ‘Greater Plan’ everything flows – why do we hold on to the pictures, ideals and beliefs that lead us into thinking that the thoughts we have know better? The way for Humanilty to become unstuck in this is to feel the truth of the love we are deeply in the body and not doubt this and the world chaos suddenly drops away and everything around us opens up. As you have written so clearly Laine, the body is our marker and by living the truth it brings means it will also bring to us the evidence of what we can return to if we choose.
So beautiful this again… ‘Our bodies are not prisons made of flesh, far from it. Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.’ When I read this I felt the immense joy of knowing how true this is. The deeper we go into connecting who we truly are, the more our heavenly light and love emanates from our physical being, our particles of physical matter which as you say Liane, belong to the universe.
To know I am Heaven here on earth takes the individuality away, leaving a feeling of connection to the love we all embody and the responsibility in living love as a reflection and reminder, that we are all from the same source.
Liane how you write here is poetry, that we are a piece of heaven and our job is to express that heaven here, and all the pain we feel is resisting living the love we are. A beautiful reminder for us all.
I spent most of my life resenting all the ills my body was presenting and was constantly trying to find ways to fix it. It has been in the last few years, since experiencing breast cancer and then developing a relationship with myself and body, that I can feel there is a greater purpose to be in this body and fully agree and love how you say “Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.” Thank you Liane.
I have been realising recently that the moment I don’t honour what I am feeling or sensing in my body and express these feelings, I am immediately fighting the flow you speak of Liane, and this straight away puts my body in a state of tension or unease which is not natural and can easily snowball into more and more of a fight to ignore what I am feeling if I’m not careful, which places my body under more and more strain until something physical comes up to make me reconsider this way of living.
It is easy to only think of our bodies as isolated things that begin and end with our skin but it puts a completely different perspective on life and health if we understand that our bodies are parts of a much grander whole universe.
SO much of humanity’s time and energy is wasted in working assiduously to be NOT in the flow, when really, there can be, if one allows, such a graceful flow to be felt in life.
This is so true. We could even say that we have become ‘comfortable’ with discomfort and thus lost our marker for what true comfort is, which is to live all the love that we are and thus be moving in accordance with the great love that birthed us forth.
Our bodies teach us everything there is to know about love. The mind can think about love, but if the body doesn’t feel it, it tells us instantly. What I have always found fascinating is that our body doesn’t judge us. It is so very delicate and carries a very precise order in the way it harmoniously interacts within and without. We can abuse this, deny this, avoid this and run away from it all. And yet our body simply reflects this all back to us lovingly, without any judgement with the sole purpose for us to learn all about what is love and what is not love.
‘It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.’ Is it possible that the amount of exhaustion there is in the world is because we resist the love that we are? Absolutely in my experience.
Do we fight or do we flow? It is a revelation to realise that illness is a direct result of fighting the flow of the universe as our bodies belong to the universe. It is logical that this is something to deeply look at. This is why it is important to come back to stillness. It is important to be able to feel what there is to feel and not be in the raciness of motion all of the time. Learning to flow is totally a work in progress. There is much arrogance to discard and many habits. However the lightness and joy that comes…even an inkling of that…is awesome.
“I mostly avoided doctors (I didn’t trust them) so I never got an official diagnosis, preferring instead to see endless practitioners of acupuncture, homeopathy, natural medicines, reflexology etc. – you name it, I tried it. Some would seem to work for a while but the same complaint would resurface years later, either with twice the fury or disguised as another condition altogether.” The beauty of the Esoteric modalities is that they offer us the opportunity (by asking us to look at the underlying cause) to release the ill energy from the body we have accumulated rather than burying it deeper only to emerge, as you say Liane, at a later date.
Our greatest pain is holding back the love we have access to, simply by listening to how our bodies feel to be in life. Pointing out the choice to not be the love we have at our fingertips feels only like the start. If we stay here and don’t move on, that awareness rots and turns into judgement. The next step is in the stop to listen and follow the body’s lead. I have experienced this for a very long time but only now put 2 + 2 together. Thank you Liane.
“A body that is brought back to this harmony is a body that will not ‘let you down’ because all that happens to it from this point is in accordance to the bigger picture, the greater plan, our true home and any illness experienced will simply be a clearing of what has been allowed to accumulate from being in resistance to this pull. ” So truly shared Rachel this had been my experience, my body has been clearing constantly i feel and look amazing, my body is healthier than ever. I work very long hours, my body supports my rhythm i am no longer getting exhausted or feeling burnt out.
“We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that miracles us all.” This is so beautiful we connect to this and let go of the self and illusion that this body is ours then miracles start to happen. we then allow the love that is within to shine out, this gets rid of illness and disease that does not belong to the body.
Our body as the body of God – this is obviously not a new concept but how Liane has presented it is very update, contemporary and powerful in its simplicity. Fight or flow, is definitely the new Era choice. We are so energetically supported to flow and naturally live the stillness and harmony divinely there within us. It is pulling us to live in the body of God stronger than ever before. Returning is easier than ever before. It is glorious to behold.
This is a wonderful a wonderful explanation of the relationship of our body with the Universe, our choice of living the love that is our inherent essence or fighting it and the impact on our health. It would be a great introductory foundation page for looking into and understanding any specific illness or disease.
This is a beautiful piece that lays down the truth about our bodies, ourselves and the root cause of illness. We are made from love and we enhouse a physical body that we are custodians of. Divinely designed, our bodies belong to the universe and are vessels for the love that we are to shine through. When it does not our bodies purposefully remind us of what we have ill chosen through the markings of discomfort, illness and disease.
Wow quite simply when we turn our back on the love we are, we are on a oneway track to nowhere. Retracing these steps is our way back home.
Working against ourselves, as the body is the marker of truth, seems crazy, but it appears that this is the common way of things in our society. When I look around me I see people working out – against their bodies – to create the shape they want or the function they desire. No pain, no gain is the slogan and other horrible sayings like push through the pain, and soldier on. There are many slogans and sayings that invoke images of war and this is what it is, a war against ourselves. When it comes to illness we are supposed to fight, winning or losing the battle and what if we die? Then the battle is truly lost – but we all need to die at some stage. Does this mean we are all losers?
This culture is a complete disconnection to ourselves and therefore to God. If I truly want to connect to God then I will truly love myself, nurture myself and connect, with my body, with all that I am, dearly and truthfully.
And the thing is that we can all actually sing like angels… And the voice of humanity can rise again in the one extraordinary tune of the universe.
Coming to terms that we are love is the purpose of being alive. In taking this challenge, we re-imprint the planet and the existence we have chosen on it, to the benefit of all. Part of fully understanding and embracing that I am love, is letting go of the need to convince others of it and simply be who I am, irrespective of what others are choosing. Much to still explore from this simple acceptance that being love is who I am.
Incredible powerfull blog, Liane, you are so right. Firstly; ”It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” This is absolutely true, and I think everyone has experienced this in their life maybe once, twice or even more times! Secondly; ”We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that enhouses us all.” This shows us that our bodies are not individual and that our Soul does not want us to be that – as we belong to the universe, showing us this even through physicality, I mean come on… that is super cheeky and powerfull.. too beautiful to not see. We can only deny. But we know it is there – the inevitable truth – we are divine.
“The short of it being that – we are love and if we choose to not live this love, then we invite a whole manner of illness and dis-ease into our bodies simply because:
It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.”
Boom! It can’t be presented clearer than that. That went deep – thank you Liane.
What a great piece of writing, this makes so much sense, and can be felt deeply in my body. It is about allowing ourself to surrender to the love, and our body will thank us deeply.
Always a delight to read your writing Liane and this post again. It’s like reading a fairytale only that it’s true.
Surrendering to the breath and the rhythm of God, nature and our soul, enhousing the love that we know we are and that we come from is the only way to live an harmonious life. This brings us the greatest protection and the grestest joy. Resistance just brings hardship. We are so contrary to have chosen resistance for so long but we can choose love at any time.
When I allow myself to align with that ‘rhythm of Nature, the breath of God – the All of Us’ it is one of those true ‘aha!’ moments in life – a moment of surrender like a homecoming – and yes, the panic subsides. Very beautiful.
It seems rather ‘fantastic’ to suggest that our bodies can align to a Universal Order but when I allow myself to be open to the possibility it is very much there to be felt. Upon reflection it only seems fantastic because we live in a world that says such things are nonsense and that we are individual isolated beings who have to ‘earn God’s favour’ somehow. Could it be that God does not seek any favours from us, but in truth gives us all that He is freely and willingly whenever we choose it?
We have the formal statistics of disease and illness, then we have the category of I’m not formally ill but something is not quite right either. I have a decreased vitality and ability to function optimally in my daily life and I know it. Many of us in some way feel this in our body and life and so many also start searching for a correction to what we are feeling. As great as conventional medicine is in response to alleviating our physical symptoms, imbalances and supporting our human body, we know in our hearts there is more to our true wellbeing than just a healthy body. So like you Liane I can relate to the pathway you share of seeing ‘endless practitioners of acupuncture, homeopathy, natural medicines, reflexology etc. – you name it, I tried it. Some would seem to work for a while but the same complaint would resurface years later, either with twice the fury or disguised as another condition altogether.’ That is exactly what also happened with me regarding the fall our of all the alternative therapies I tried but eventually I too have found Universal Medicine complementary therapies and realise these modalities are not only definitely the way for me but my body absolutely loves them.
Being constantly anxious leaves us living on the edge of a double edge sword and ‘ever ready to fight or take flight’. Anxiety is becoming epidemic in proportions in our fast paced modern day society and casting a dark shadow over all of our potential. Collectively we all need to not only realise this is true but that there is another way.
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it” and it is a sad fact of where humanity is today with high levels of exhaustion and illness as the result of abusing our bodies and not connecting to our innate wisdom and the simplicity of it all.
Hearing the words: “It takes more energy to resist love than to be it” was one of those moments that stops you in your tracks and presents you with a life changing choice; to accept this truth, or not. It took me a while, but finally I could feel the truth of this in my body, a body that had suffered so much over many years simply because I was resisting love; in fact my body was battle weary. Now it simply makes sense to me that to fight anything that is innate to the body is exhausting, whereas to embrace the wisdom that it offers and to know that it is part of God’s body is the most natural and healing choice I could ever make.
‘Whether we accept it or not, our bodies are forever responding to the Universe that we are an innate part of, no different to the way our oceans respond to the moon or our trees respond to the wind. So, how do we respond to this call – do we fight, or do we flow?’ Our bodies are innately part of of a much larger whole – they belong to the universe and not to us. They are vehicles that we live in and we are as guardians to them. And they respond to the impulses of the ever-expanding universe. Are we going to go with them or resist this amazing opportunity.
‘We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that en-houses us all’. When we live with this as the basis of our life the world as we know it is wonderfully turned upside-down and set to rights. No longer do we let disregard and abuse be the accepted mode of behaviour towards our body. We appreciate and honour the body and become very aware of what food best supports it. Our health, well-being and vitality then exponentially flourish.
“the choice to ‘fight’ or ‘flow’ is ours to make, in every single moment and with every given breath.” This has been a great reflection for me today,
“We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that enhouses us all. If we listen to this, then we let go of the reins that we are gripping for dear life and allow ourselves to follow the impulses that naturally pulse forth from this our greater body.” I love this magnificent and true advice. This is a way forward for us in every moment if we allow it in.
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” When we see what is happening to this world on a global scale and the extremes that people are going to in their lives to hold love out, this truth resonates so deeply for me.
“Thus,the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” This feels so deeply true.
“The reason I was so depleted and exhausted was because I had turned my back and walked away from the love that I am, that we all are. In full reaction to the lack of love I could see being lived in the world and without seemingly realising it, I rejected love, I rejected myself, I rejected the body that I had come to view as my prison, and…I rejected God.” I can understand where you are coming from here Liane this feels like a ‘normal ‘ position for much of humanity and hence the stress we live with and stomach day to day.
‘Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.’ Liane I know this to be true, but boy oh boy, it has taken a while. I used to be irritated by my body, its need to be fed and bathed and exercised and rested. I was far more comfortable hanging out with my thoughts or my head buried in a novel. It was my body that put limitations on my mental escapism – my eyes could only focus for so long, my body would ache from the inactivity of lounging around holding a book, and I would be exhausted because I couldn’t turn my mind off at night and so sleep eluded me. I never thought that being in my body and caring for it could feel so lovely, nor have imagined the joy of just being alive, and how catching that joy is when expressed. Life does not need to be a set of strategies to not feel and engage, it is naturally simple and purposeful when we allow ourselves to be the love we naturally are.
We think that we own our body, and we have the right to do what we want with it – but when we look at the fact of how they work in harmony and respond to an order our mind often struggles to comprehend with reasons – we need to start considering a possibility that we may not actually own this body, it belongs to something far bigger than us.
Absolutely gorgeous article. What a delight to revisit again this morning. “It takes more energy to resist love than to be it” – this explains the epidemic level of exhaustion and increasing number and more complex forms of illness and diseases. The answer is right here within us. It is our choice – whether to fight or ride with the flow.
‘Our bodies are not prisons made of flesh, far from it. Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.’ So beautifully said Liane. There is such long tradition of falsity spoken about the body – such sayings as ‘the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak’. The spirit is willing yes, but willing for what? To thrash the body, disregard it and abuse it! Our bodies are, as you say, ‘Heaven made visible’. The idea that the body is a prison has caused much resentment, powerlessness and illness. The body is a glorious marker of truth through which the Face of the Soul on earth can bring all its Love.
‘Bodies are dense, they get sick, they are subject to abuse both from ourselves and from others. In short – they get hurt and the pain goes deep. If I choose to not connect too deeply then I won’t get hurt, right? Wrong.’ Oh I know this one only too well Liane. From about my mid-twenties I really began to feel the onslaught of the world to a huge degree as I came in close contact with a scene where everyone drank a lot and took drugs. And from this point in time my natural protection, my presence in my body and my openness of heart, began to disappear as I withdrew from my body and began to live more in in my head. I am only now just coming back to reclaim my body and live in conscious presence and the results are miraculous. My health, vitality and feeling of protection from outer onslaughts is amazing.
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it”. Now this is something I have grown to know for my self deeply and the journey back to loving one’s self and others is one of true commitment, consistency and learning in every moment and really is beautiful in all it offers us with our loving choices and way of being.
I love how you describe the body, not as a burden but a unit of expression that was created by the universal/God. The body can support us through many things in life as it is constantly communicating to us.
Life is all about surrendering to the body, that is love, and expressing our divinity through this divine vessel. It takes more effort to fight the natural pull than to surrender to what is already there.
What is shared in this blog about living in constant angst and the ever ready state of ‘fight or flight’ is something I too have experienced. Like Liane I tried many alternative paths – and most of them had some impact, offering solutions rather than an answer. And like Liane, I continued my search for an answer until I heard Serge Benhayon present at which point ‘the penny dropped’. Stop looking outside for answers. The true answer is within, in reconnecting to the Love we all are from. My life and my relationships have transformed from this understanding. No longer do I go out into the world looking for Love for I know that it is within me and it is for me to connect with it and be Love in relationships and in the world. True simplicity but great wisdom.
Somehow it seems we have turned life on its head believing that we are devoid of Love and of God and must do all we can to fill this void. But what if our basic premise is wrong and that we are not devoid of Love or God at all – then everything we do in search of God actually negates our connection to Him rather than supports it. Could it be that we have been chasing a ‘false god’ all this time and what we really need to do is accept the Love that we are and the innate connectedness we all have with Him? Having explored this, I have to say this is what I have discovered. We are already all the Love we could be and to accept this fact and to live it is what true healing is.
We spend too much time and health avoiding hear our body’s messages. The body doesn’t lie, and has in its cells the record of all our choices. Being able to read its messages may be simple or complicated. It depends on how honest or not that we are able to be. Anyway, take responsibility of the results of how we live will be our last learning.
Truly loving and nurturing our bodies and seeing them as our expression of God our divineness and our oneness with the all is something not taught to us openly and known enough in this world .Treasuring ourselves deeply and the appreciation of who who we are in connection with our soul is something to be built lovingly simply and gracefully . The consistency of this will light the way for us all in our universality of love and the evolving expansion we are all part of.
A beautiful sharing and brilliant understanding shared for all to feel for themselves . It brings a reality to life and what is going on and what a revealing that you offer and i know too to be true . “Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.”
Thank you Liane, for such a wise and beautiful sharing, much for me to ponder on, having ignored my body for so long.
There is actually no greater pain than to hold back the divine expression that is flowing through our bodies. The physical pain and tension is a constant reminder of the responsibility we have play our part in the universal order that we live within.
When I was younger I too used to have a very unloving relationship with my body – completely crazy now I look back on it. Through attending Serge Benhayon presentations I have come to experience my body as a great, wise and deeply loving friend that provides me with a direct link to God or put in other words my Soul, Love, Truth, Harmony, Joy and Stillness. All I need to do is listen and surrender to that connection and I discover an entirely different way to live – fully committed in the temporal world whilst enjoying miracles as every day occurrences!
As beautifully simply as Liane has stated the truth that we can fight or flow with a body of love, I feel an enormity in the responsibility of it, reflected in the truth that if we do not live according to the love that we are made to express, then we invite tension, excessive tension, disharmony, illness and disease. No doubt any reaction to this enormity is also my own choice to not be responsible in the past, so the choice is there every moment -do I choose reaction and keep that irresponsibility causing a momentum in my body or do I simply choose love? Thank God for Serge Benhayon and his presentations via Universal Medicine which have made the latter choice simple and practical.
Looking back over the years it is obvious that I spent much of my life trying to escape from my body as most of the time it wasn’t very enjoyable being in it, and to make matters worse I simply didn’t know why I felt the way I did; I used to think that there was something very wrong with me which would then feed the panic that was always laying just under the surface waiting for its next appearance: if only I had had known then that I had the wisdom inside me to answer the then seemingly unanswerable questions, and to know this truth: “We allow our breath to sync to the rhythm of Nature, the breath of God – the All of Us – and the panic subsides”. And as I read I could feel myself taking a very delicate, but full breath and sighing out decades, probably lifetimes, of what was not me.
“It takes more energy to resist love than be it” so true Liane I love the wisdom of all you say and the gems of expression shared making a simplicity of everything joyfully with such deep meaningful awarenesses.
Thank you Liane for sharing. As always I love feeling what you write. One sentence that will stay with me is “It is a bit like having the ability to sing like an angel but never opening your mouth to sing”.
Great to read this one again Liane – this is the answer to pretty much every disorder under the sun. Let’s surrender to this natural pulse and see what will happen, I’m sure it’s lots more fun than resisting it.
I will take the liberty to answer myself here – I can find it hard sometimes to surrender and let go to the pulse that is calling from within to surrender, but knowing that that hardness I can sometimes feel is not the true version of me, it’s just something I’ve taken on through life, makes it easier for me to not identify being the resistance but something that is held within my body to perhaps being let go of.
I really like the picture of the angel that doesn’t open its mouth. It’s like I was formed for a certain profession and now disguise myself in a totally different one that I am not talented for… I am not talented for not being love!
Thank you Lianne I knew that I had been in disregard and disliked parts of my body, but I had never seen it as fighting my body, seeing it as the enemy that needed to be conquered but that makes sense to me, I can feel how I was in fact fighting it, trying to dominate it so that I did not have the constant pain in different parts of my body, when all I had to do was surrender and be more loving to myself. A totally unnecessary battle that could never be won.
Awesome blog Liane. Fighting hurts and takes ages to heal from, even though we are fighting ourselves it also hurts everyone else. Learning to surrender to allow flow does take time to embody but the difference is marked.
What a glorious blog, Liane….one I will return to, I know. Having never felt my body as a prison and always accepted and appreciated its wisdom in pulling me back into line via illness and disease, I now have a comprehensive insight into how many must experience their ‘life’ in a body. It makes complete sense that if they see their body as a prison, a trap they can’t seem to escape, that they would then want to do whatever they could to alleviate or offset that stress by overriding and fighting the very thing that could ‘release’ them….making a friend of your enemy is the ‘cure’, to understand that your body is an ally in harmony and not a foe to wage a war with.
Doesn’t this sum up everything that is and has been so very wrong in the world? Where did this thought come from? It feels to me to be an imposed belief by some religions, especially those who say we are born in sin, that the body is sinful and will betray you, that we are to overcome the body and to punish it so as to rise ‘above’ it. Yet all along, the way back to the Heaven we all innately feel and crave, is through the body, to flow in its rhythms and the rhythms of our planetary body, which all belong to the grandness that is the Universe and of God. So simple it hurts to realise that all the wonder and majesty is actually there within us and it was us that chose to reject it by not abiding its Love. It’s time we all made friends with our bodies again.
Simply and powerfully stated Liane. The damage we inflict on ourselves and others in hiding back is huge and our body reflects all these ill choices.
“Holding back that beauty and that Divine expression is a pain far greater than what can be physically inflicted on the body and that physical pain serves as a marker for the love that we hold back”.
Lianne this blog is an absolute inspiration to read. Constantly fighting the truth of all that we are is exhausting and a sure way to feel insecure with our body and in life and eventually end up experiencing illness and disease because of this ill choice.
“Basically, my body did not feel like a safe place for me to be, but seeing as I had nowhere else to go, the only option was to ‘grin and bear it’. And so I did, through the many ailments that would come and seemingly go, only to come again”.
After reading your blog again Liane the word ‘surrender’ keeps coming to mind.. All we need to do is surrender to what is already within. Sure stuff will come up and our body will tell us things we may have long disregarded, so yes it could be uncomfortable. But if we continue to surrender the true Joy of our inner-heart, the gateway to God will be available, as it always has been and always will be. ‘It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.’
Very true words Rachael. I have recently re-experienced this at what I might call a ‘crunch point’ with surrender and, as Liane writes, ‘trapped my body’ ! One super hot night lying in bed not long after getting my broken foot into a foot-to-knee, very heavy cast, I had a moment of thinking I might go crazy. I felt utterly imprisoned and unable to sleep. Then I knew the only thing I could do was surrender to it. There was nothing to do but accept. As I chose this I could feel a delicious expansion happen through my whole being and body and it felt as if the cast were nestling comfortably around my leg.
My God this blog is so divine. Yes in fact it is so simple. And I am asking myself the same question: How come that I still resist or fight instead of just being it – being the love that I am and just surrender. Appreciation is huge and the fact to accept that I am human and that there is no perfection, and accepting me in it, is huge for me. I love the journey back to the love that I am in essence, and the last two years have been lifechanging and I know now that’s just the way and it’s a forever deepening and it’s only a matter of time till my movements allow me to get there. Thank You all for Your comments and Liane for sharing Your wisdom with us.
It really is a choice in any and every moment to either 1) fight the pull to connect with the multi-dimensional being that we are, or 2) surrender and go with the flow of our natural way of being. Fighting results in living a life in constant tension, compared to the deep contentment, trust and power that is felt in surrender.
Yes it’s only a struggle because of the lack of acceptance and the lack of movement in a quality that holds who we truly are. Until we move in this quality the resistance is there.
“Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” We are running away from our Essence – where really we should turn, face and embrace.
‘It takes more energy to resist love than be it.’ What a great understanding and this really does change how we can life our lives in the honouring and beauty of who we are. That is love and to not fight our selves, our very essence, and just allow our beauty to unfold before us with honesty and truth as the way. Our body really is the marker of truth and can guide us if we allow it to and listen.
True health and livingness really does come from love and the living of this in our everyday life in every way, bringing a harmony and joy to our bodies and everyone we are around. A great blog bringing understanding of our choices and our body.
“The quality of our health is in our hands” as you have written Lianne. I have come to really understand and feel how our health and healing is in every choice I make. I use to think that healing was something that someone else did to me to make me feel better. This only allowed for one thing and that was to search outside of myself, therefore giving my power away to an idea that was false in the first place.
The full moon cycle reminds me how much my body belongs to greater cycles beyond my control and how regularly each moon cycle I feel differently at various times.
I feel this also Simon and it surprises me that until it was pointed out to me I hadn’t even really been aware of it. Now I have a growing appreciation of how much my body is in tune with what is going on in the Universe around me and my understanding of everything being energy has been hugely expanded. It is quite humbling in many ways as it makes me realise that not only do I have a responsibility to play my part in the order of things but also to let go of all the fuss I create at times over stuff that is both unhelpful and irrelevant in terms of laying a foundation for true health.
Our bodies belong to the Universe/God and as we come from Love, our bodies respond to love and react to what is not love. It all makes sense and it is time we start talking about this simple truth and accept that our bodies are so honestly telling us what we have chosen.
Just this morning I was feeling my body more fiery than the days before. I love feeling the yumminess of my body and it is a great confirmation that the last couple of days I have chosen a deeper level of love and acceptance of who I truly am.
After reading this blog I could feel on a deeper level how are bodies are divine and by virtue of that always coming back to being divine what ever we do with our bodies. This makes me understand why illness and disease happen, but also tension or stress, it is all a message from the body that I am not living in correspondence to its true quality, divinity, and a clearing from that excess of unloving way of living through illness and disease. What a gift our body is when you can see it like this.
Indeed kathrynfortuna, this is huge – it changes everything.
As do all revelations. Thank you Kathryn for this powerful truth.
‘Our bodies are not prisons made of flesh, far from it. Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world. ‘
Heaven made visible? Wow doesn’t that change the way we may feel about eating breakfast, walking to the car or chatting with a friend? I can feel the responsibility in this and I LOVE it. Thank you Liane. 🙂
I got so much out of reading this blog, having to ask myself the same old question again, why do I still hold back from the love that I am when I know full well it is causing me pain and illness.
Awesome question Kev.
This is such a beautiful article. The true purpose of our body is nothing short of divine. I love this line “Our bodies are Heaven made visible”. This is so true and reminds us that we walk with God and through our body heaven can be felt.
Thank You Lianne you have shown us the way to build .a body of Love
That statement really stood out for me as well – “It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” How many times have I exhausted myself , tied myself up in drama and stories rather than to just surrender!
It is such a beautiful image, to flow with the universe and so fine a foundation to belong to it.
We have made such an effort to derail our natural way of being open and flowing.
‘It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.’ I think I have been living with an image of what this new love is and not recognised that it is already in me and that sometimes I am already living it. It’s when I beat myself up for not being enough that I lose my connection with it. To know that everything we need to know about life the universe and everything is held in our bodies gives us even more reason for honouring, nurturing and allowing that wisdom to be communicated from within.
‘The being within requires no effort but the gentle breath itself” – Serge Benhayon, The Way It Is, P156
Carmel, I know what you are talking of. It is so easy to get distracted during the day. The tenderness we naturally are as human beings, we often forget in our busy lives. It is a huge healing to remember and surrender to our tenderness, and trust in the flow of life.
It is so important for me to constantly remember this fact, that our bodies are from love, all illness and pain is showing us that we didn’t live this love in full honour of ourself and the all.
I also love what has been written here and can completely relate. I have spent my whole life fighting my body, not wanting to listen to it, take full responsibility for it. It has felt like a battle of a long time, but little by little, progress is made in bringing a deeper awareness to what triggers what, how my body responds and there is definitely more flow and that flow is growing each and every day.
Raegan, how interesting, I feel I have loved my body all my life and yet in a strange way, that has also been a form of entrapment. Because that is where I stopped, I didn’t go further to feel- I used distractions to override my feelings. I used my head to escape into and hence I didn’t evolve.
Wow Bent I found it very inspiring to read your awesome comment – Thank you.
‘I have spent a lifetime fighting my body and perceiving it as some ‘enemy’ that needed to be at best conquered and at worst abandoned’. Me too Liane!! . . . ‘the only option was to ‘grin and bear it’.’ I used to say “not smiling , gritting my teeth.”
I can so relate to this article Liane. It is as if you have written about me for me. Yes it is exhausting turning our back on God and the love that we are.
This is the all time question . . . ‘do we fight, or do we flow?’
And I love how you have brought the responsibility back to us with. . . ‘the choice to ‘fight’ or ‘flow’ is ours to make, in every single moment and with every given breath.’
‘ It is a bit like having the ability to sing like an angel but never opening your mouth to sing.’ Liane, if we truly understood the full message of this, we would all sing out loud.
I agree Eva this is a beautiful and poignant point that Liane is making with this great line. . . ‘It is a bit like having the ability to sing like an angel but never opening your mouth to sing.” But my question is why don’t we truly understood the full message of this? What holds us back from opening our mouths and singing like angels? Liane is certainly leading the way as every time she expresses it feels just like an angel singing!
Wow Liane, a fabulous blog – you had me already in the first two lines: “My whole life I have felt trapped in my body. Now, I know that sounds a bit strange, but this is how it has felt for me”. I used to feel exactly that until I met Serge Benhayon and understood that only by responding to and honouring what our bodies are telling us can we actually live the divine beings that we all are.
I felt the same Eva. It seems like such a simple idea but listening to our bodies rather than feeling trapped by them is what actually frees us – through our body we connect with something so much deeper and so much greater – our inner-heart, the light of God.
When we stop to honour ourselves miracles will happen.
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it”
Our resistance to settling to who or what we truly are innately – the qualities of love, stillness and joy – does need to be looked at. We live in a society where we are in constant motion, moving from one thing to the next. We need to stop and take stock of what is really happening, and how we all individually are operating. Are we living in a way that allows us to be loving with ourselves on a 24/7 basis? If the answer to this is no, then we cannot be loving with all others on a 24/7 basis. What does this result in? War, quarrels in our homes and tension in our marriages – to name but a few. This does not need to be the way we live, and we do have the tools now to connect with and be loving with ourselves on a daily basis. Let’s start to do this, and the world will change.
I agree Amelia Stephens and I love your call to action – “We need to stop and take stock of what is really happening, and how we all individually are operating. Are we living in a way that allows us to be loving with ourselves on a 24/7 basis”. We are all responsible for the way that we are living and we are all responsible for doing something about it. A great call out.
Despite the deep substance of this blog, what I love about it is the simple practicality of it – connecting to the body, allowing the awe and the grace to work its magic and through what we all can recognise as a natural way of being, we get out of the way and enter into a different stream of doing -the flow instead of the fight.
Yes great summary Simon just like to add that in this way we find a very different way of being.
Beautifully described Simon!
Reading this blog again I wonder at the reaction that many are placed into when confronted with the word god. It has become so removed from what it should mean for us, being made into an entity that punishes us for our faults and weaknesses. Yet life and god does not work in this judgement, as everyday is another opportunity to live more connected to the grandness we all are a part of. And that grandness is found in how we relate to people and how willing we are to pay attention to the feelings we are constantly getting, not dismissing things as being coincidence or pure chance but realising we have far more to intuitively offer than we have been led to believe.
‘However, true health comes from not overriding or resisting this but accepting and allowing our bodies to respond to what they so naturally are designed to respond to – Love.’ Liane – you are have de-constructed and resurrected the meaning of ‘true health’ in a world that is overrun with illness and disease. We need to hear this more then ever now. Thank you for shining a light in an area that has been darkened by heavy ‘academia’ and void of any real feeling or wisdom about the body.
Hi Liane – the message is simple – ‘It takes more energy to resist love than to be it’ – the answer to my tiredness and exhaustion. The clear message delivered by Serge Benhayon is that the great communicator and honest measurement of our livingness is our body. We have made the choice to be here, all we need to know and support us is available, there is no ‘Degree’ to be studied for and gained in order to read what is true, as you have clearly stated – ‘Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world’.
“However, true health comes from not overriding or resisting this but accepting and allowing our bodies to respond to what they so naturally are designed to respond to – Love.” Wow Liane – every time I read this blog it feels even more powerful. I am feeling very tired today and this sentence allowed me to see the tiredness as my body’s pull toward love instead of my indulging the story that my body is ‘letting me down’. Beautiful.
As was perfect for you to read and connect with this quote from Liane, reading your words of wisdom are too for me Leonne. Feeling the tiredness as the body’s way of talking – exposing the ways I am living that can be changed to allow more love certainly feels more honest than adding more weight to the tiredness with annoyance at our bodies. Love it. Thank you Leonne – exactly what I needed to hear.
Liane each time I read this amazing blog I receive another pearl of wisdom. Today I paused with ‘Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.’ I so relate to how you would feel your body was the enemy before being introduced to the simple but far-reaching truths presented by Serge Benhayon & Universal Medicine. These days I see my body as the marker of truth, my super sensitive feed back system that informs me when I’m off balance or not responding to the rhythms of the universe to which we belong.
Very beautiful hartanne60 – it’s crazy yet not surprising the lies and images we have been sold to put the body as less than intelligence or even indulgence! The body being made up of divine particles and knowing the universe inside out makes it Heavenly, so the twist in society to devalue such magic makes for a very haphazard humanity. Thanks to the teachings and wisdom of Serge Benhayon I am relearning how sacred the body really is and letting go of the illusion that cake, sugar and and other abusive past times are worth while!
Such lovely expression hartanne60 – ‘Today I paused with…’ – I was touched by the deep honouring and genuine appreciation you had for Liane’s amazing blog.
That our body belongs to God, and each particle of us has the potential to be aligned with the universal rhythms and the resonant laws of Divinity, is an ongoing revelation that will heal everything in its path, and return us all to the one true connection of the divine that is truly us… Each and every one of us.
“..do we fight, or do we flow? The quality of our health is in our hands.” We can often put the responsibility on the health system but it is more liberating to take the responsibility for ourselves and not run/hide from responsibility – which can seem scarier than it really is.
The fact that we either flight or flow is powerful to nominate. This shows the truth of every choice that is then reflected in our body.
So true Annie, I can relate to the imagined monster behind the door on this one.
The choices we are making show me that we are not in actual fact aware there is a choice…. we fall into the latest fashion, music or influence without knowing the consequences. I know I was choosing to not be aware for a long time so the more we reflect the sooner this awareness will be amongst us, we have a purpose and a responsibility to live in full expression. Your blog Liane has reminded me of my journey and the commitment and return to my body of love and the grandness we are.
Hear hear Merrilee, I know I also have spent many many years making choices that were incredibly unloving to my body. Now having to bear the responsibility of those choices in my body, but what I realised recently, is that I was still holding such a judgement on myself for having been so unloving and I was holding that judgement in my body. It didn’t feel very good, in fact, I was hindering me from going deeper in my love and connection with myself. Reading this blog, I agree, really helps to confirm the commitment in returning to a body of love to house the soul.
Yes Merrilee, be the reflection of love.
I love all you share in this blog, as it makes so much sense. Fighting needs much more energy than to go with the flow, love is in core all that we are, so all that we choose to go against that love is having negative effects on our body.
Hence the escalating rates of illness and disease.
I love this whole blog Liane, and I especially love the closing paragraph explaining our bodies respond to the Universe like the oceans respond to the moon or our trees respond to the wind. That makes the whole blog very real.
Yes Bernard it brings our awareness to the inter connectedness of all things, that we are all part of the one and we all ebb and flow in harmony when we are in our natural expression.
“…true health comes from not overriding or resisting this (Universal call) but accepting and allowing our bodies to respond to what they so naturally are designed to respond to – Love.”
This needs to be front page news for all of humanity to read, and in the hands of every person involved in healthcare!
The depth of wisdom and healing in this blog is quite profound…it has been very revealing and inspiring on many levels to re-read your blog Liane – thank you.
Every single breath is a choice to connect or not to the grandness we are made of. The moment we acknowledge we are part of a much bigger picture than we have ever thought of is a glorious one and gives us all we need. ‘Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.’ So beautiful Liane.
Indeed Annelies, this line is very beautiful, and offers such simplicity of choice.
I love this line too as it captures what the body is truly for – simply a vehicle to move around the earth in divinely, and yet with a knowing we are so much more than just the body.
Beautifully written Liane. I really resonate to your words “The real pain here that we all feel and that is the root cause of all illness and disease, is the pain of being a in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that Love” Thank you.
Yes, I also resonate with these words Roslyn…it is ludicrous that we are of Love and yet we turn our backs on Love and walk away!
“We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that enhouses us all.” now this is the truth that has been bastardised and hidden from us by many religions and beliefs that keep us away from connecting to our body our very essence and the love we truly are. Coming back to this knowing and truth inside is the greatest gift we can have and then build in the way we live and is our true foundation strength and knowingness.
The body is wonderful; it is faithful, it never gives up on us, it keeps on informing us until we have to listen; sometimes it speaks loud and clear. but even then we can still continue to ignore it, so ingrained are the habitual responses of not wanting to feel the pain of being hurt emotionally. The body reflects these pains for us physically for us to learn, and if we start to listen to it and feel deeply what is going on at long last, we enter a new world of discovery — the discovery of our inner selves, our true essence which no hurt can touch. And we find that the body enhouses this essence and that what dwells there is Love, and Love heals.
The body is the gateway back to heaven, definitely Liane. What comes back from the body when we are responsible with it, love it, nurture it, is without doubt, quite incredible and well worth the effort.
Absolutely Liane. And the reason that ‘my body is not a safe place to be’ is the greatest lie we have been sold is because the force that has created chaos on earth does not want us to know our divinity and where we come from. As you have so beautifully said, the body is our gateway back to Heaven, and through listening to it, nurturing and honouring it, and being able to reconnect to our love and true intelligence we will be able to return to our glory.
The greatest lie I was ever sold was that ‘my body is not a safe place to be’. The evil of this belief is felt the moment we realise that our physical forms are not a ‘life sentence’ here on Earth, but are our gateway back to Heaven when we allow the love we are to infuse and express forth from every single cell. If each person in the world could feel this one truth, not only would we dismantle the grip of illness and disease that has humanity so bound, we would also dissolve depression, war, greed, anger, judgment, jealousy and pretty much everything that has no place expressing through a body of love. We are here to walk in light not shadow. This plane of life has been in darkness for too long.
Wow Liane…what you share here is so true and oh so power-full – yes it is time ‘to walk in light’ no matter what. Heaven is within each and every one of us, ‘in every single cell’ – it is steady, deeply loving and unwavering, totally unaffected by what is going on outside us…we can live from this, walk Heaven’s light in darkness, and inspire others to do the same.
To live in a body of love but not to appreciate this and express this love causes illness, very true Liane. And observing society it is like most people have forgotten that they live in a body of love and are wondering about the illnesses they get or are afraid of getting serious illnesses. To deeply understand that our bodies are bodies of love and that we need to express this love is changing our lives.
‘Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world’ – I love this line, we can have so much trouble with our bodies, like pain, bloating and heaviness, all because we are avoiding living who we truly are.
When we turn back to knowing who we truly are – love – after the initial joy, we are exposed to everything that is not love in our life and in us. However, now we have a base from which to work on and we can be far less overwhelmed than when we were in the past and progress can be rapid.
Spot on Christoph – and the perfect comment for me to be reading this morning. It has reminded me of the fact that we do have an amazing basis and foundation that we can come back to and work from, especially in those times that we feel the overwhelm. Thank you!
Hear hear Henrietta and Christophe – this is also the perfect comment for me to be reading this morning, to re-establish when teetering on the brink of overwhelm, that beautiful and resounding foundation of love that is already there and known.
I agree Henrietta, a friend of mine said she doesn’t need her basis – she called it her livingness – when everything is going well but when she is in trouble, then she relies on her basis, her livingness.
Great Point Christoph – it’s the little things that we choose every day that support us immensely if we do go into the overwhelm! So how important is it to keep this up no matter what.
Yes, in a word, Henrietta! (a whip bird, very close by, just sang as I wrote this)
“We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that enhouses us all.” Some greats words being shared. Knowing we are ultimately love, from love the divine source and we return once again back to love is just beautiful.
It makes sense Francisco… when all the particles are universally the same that we would have a natural affinity with, well, everything. It’s then just simply a choice as to whether we want to feel that, connect to it, express on that basis. Brotherhood flows naturally from this profound but simple truth.
“It is a bit like having the ability to sing like an angel but never opening your mouth to sing”… ouch. This simple sentence packs a powerful punch, for me, to have gone through life and not expressed every ounce of love that I feel is such a wasted opportunity. Yet life is generous, and the opportunity is there, again and again.
I like your comment Simon. It’s a bit like owning a Ferrari, but loading it up like a semi-trailer so the beauty of who we are is hidden. Within us all is a magnificent model just waiting to be revealed.
. . . and just waiting to be taken for a drive around town!
That’s why we never need to give up on ourselves – the opportunities to be all of who we are keep presenting themselves time after time, life after life, moment by moment.
Yes Simon, this quote sure packs a punch – the truth of it is that what hurts the most is the beauty that we hide from the world knowing full well that this is what the world is calling out for! So no more hiding, I say – let us sing and let out that which is naturally within us busting to get out.
Yes and What a turnaround there will be in the health of humanity and the responsibility we then start taking when we understand how we are blessed each time we don’t feel that great or an illness arises.
“Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world” It has felt so freeing to feel like this about my body as for so long I felt restricted, uneasy and contained with it, not realising that if I looked after it there is plenty of room for the ever growing me and it was never mine to trash in the way I was. Thank goodness Universal Medicine has shown another way to live in the most precious thing we have- our body.
I feel the time has come for me to flow, as I have been fighting for far to long. I absolutely love the flow of your writing Liane, such a pleasure to read, thank you.
“Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” Well here we have it – the truth of all our suffering, illness and pain. We spend so much time and energy resisting love. No wonder our bodies get depleted and ill.
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” If only this statement was taught in schools, that for us to resist who we truly are, we have to call in and energy (this is ‘not’ us!!) that fosters complication, protection, abusive behaviour, aloofness, being dismissive and so much more, all so we don’t get to feel how truly amazing and grand we are. We are grand, grander than we will ever know!!
Yes Raegan, this simple statement reveals much about the human struggle. I am noticing the truth of it more and more in my ingrained habits of resisting love playing down when the opportunity is there to be grand.
“Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.” Knowing this to be true, why would anyone ever abuse their amazingly wise body again, and why would we not want to live the glory that we are in its totality when we know we are enhoused in a divine body that is here to support us to know ourselves in this glory and more.
I can relate to your journey, Liane. Thanks for putting it into such inspiring words.
Such a beautiful reminder Lianne, of how our bodies are formed by particles of the universe and how we have a choice at all times to align or resist the pull to be more. Thank you.
I love taking a moment to reflect on this Francisco, to be reminded that we are all formed of particles and they are from the Universe. The fact that we can go with or pull against this natural order.
When reading the title again I’m realising that to me my body or a body for me always has been a physical body. Where as I am now realizing that bodies are also energetic. Which makes sense as I can feel an enormous unity between me and someone else when we’re both open. It is as the bodies join together. This Unity / Oneness just feels amazing – other worldly. Yet very natural at the same time and forever deepening.
“Once this is felt, it is extremely hard to continue living recklessly”. Great point Liane. When we start to realise and feel our immense fragility and delicateness, it is a natural response to nurture and care for our body. This also seems to evolve as there are levels of recklessness and abuse that we become aware of.
Great point Matthew. I know for me, that in the past when I wasn’t able to connect to my own fragility and delicateness, that I was able to abuse myself, with alcohol, how I spoke with myself, in relationships, across most areas of life. These days, because I have worked on connecting with myself, connecting to how I feel, reflecting, deepening my awareness, there isn’t the desire or ability to abuse and be reckless, I just don’t feel to, which is pretty amazing!!
I felt like my body was responding and totally in tune with the universe this morning from the moment I woke up and it was the best feeling in the world! No rejecting of my physicality, only inclusion.
“No rejecting of my physicality, only inclusion.” And it is that simple being with and including our body in everything rather than just our mind.
I rejected love, I rejected myself, I rejected the body that I had come to view as my prison, and…I rejected God. Once you have this realisation, I discovered that everything changes in your life as acceptance replaces rejection…..
Lianne, feeling the body of love that we are it is true that in all movements this love simply wishes to be expressed, whether we sing, speak, walk, gesture, write, smile, everything and in all circumstances are we allowing our love to be shared? All we are ever seeking in life is the surrendering back of our bodies to the Divine movement and rhythm, to return back to allowing the love that we are to express us.
Beautifully said Adele. A divine symphony and heavenly flow no less.
wow this blog is so powerful.
“We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that enhouses us all.
If we listen to this, then we let go of the reins that we are gripping for dear life and allow ourselves to follow the impulses that naturally pulse forth from this our greater body. We allow our breath to sync to the rhythm of Nature, the breath of God – the All of Us – and the panic subsides. A body that is brought back to this harmony is a body that will not ‘let you down’ because all that happens to it from this point is in accordance to the bigger picture, the greater plan, our true home and any illness experienced will simply be a clearing of what has been allowed to accumulate from being in resistance to this pull. Our bodies do this regardless of whether we choose this or not, for their particles belong to the Universe and answer to that call and not to our self imposed one. However, true health comes from not overriding or resisting this but accepting and allowing our bodies to respond to what they so naturally are designed to respond to – Love.”
“Whether we accept it or not, our bodies are forever responding to the Universe that we are an innate part of, no different to the way our oceans respond to the moon or our trees respond to the wind. So, how do we respond to this call – do we fight, or do we flow? The quality of our health is in our hands. More specifically, it is in every particle that we allow to move in tune with this Divine symphony. Thus, the choice to ‘fight’ or ‘flow’ is ours to make, in every single moment and with every given breath.” This is so beautifully expressed Liane, and gives us all the invitation to choose to be in that flow of Love. Reading it I wonder how we ever denied it, but it seems that the human spirit that seeks its own will and tries to dominate the body and control it, does not care if this attitude brings pain and suffering, illness and disease, as long as it is also experiencing heightened sensations, roused emotions, excitement, and reward, to support the belief it is an individual, and the world revolves around it. What Universal Medicine brings us is the ability to accept our own knowing of that deep connection to our inner essence where we meet and feel the God we are all part of, and enter the flow of moving together as one.
There is such great Love in responsibility and this blog and your comment presents the inherent responsibility in each and every choice – to fight or to flow.
What Universal Medicine brings us is the ability to accept our own knowing of that deep connection to our inner essence where we meet and feel the God we are all part of, and enter the flow of moving together as one. Spot on Joan….
A long time ago a very wise man said: “The body of man shows all truths of life.” At that time I did not understood what he meant in full. But I could feel the absolute truth in it. My body knew it before even my head could grasp it. And still there is much to understand as there are so many levels this quote addresses. Connecting to where we are from and living this in our bodies is just the beginning. We will be amazed what expressing God in one as one actually means and brings.
“The Body of man shows all truths of life’… a powerful quote indeed to start my day with…..
You ask “do we fight, or do we flow?” And the question being whether we play our part in the all we are a part of or whether we (seemingly) say no to it because even with the no, we are still a part of it. My experience is that fighting it results in personal hardship and all sorts of complications and aligning to it leads to freedom, plain and simple.
Absolutely – I have spent my whole life fighting and I can tell you without doubt – it doesn’t work and life is definitely hard. Being able to flow in life and accept it in full and never fight I can’t say I’ve mastered, but when I have felt flow there is a totally different quality to my day. As you so eloquently say, we are playing our part in the all we are part of.
“We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that enhouses us all”.
What you have expressed here Liane is so succinct and all encompassing; full of love and wisdom.
‘The quality of our health is in our hands’, and true health comes from ‘accepting and allowing our bodies to respond to what they so naturally are designed to respond to – Love.’ The responsibility to make loving choices is ours no one can do it for us.
Our bodies never cease to amaze me – a divine symphony, heaven through and through when attuned to Love.
” It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” This is something I often need reminding of as I have a tendency to make life more difficult than it really is and I choose to allow the chaos in my head that focuses on the negative look for everything about me and within me that I perceive I need to fix. I make it a battle within myself by not accepting the Love that I naturally am. When I let go of looking for something to fix and just be by re-connecting with myself and the solid foundation of stillness within me I can feel the delicate, fragile beauty I truly am and express the true love that I am.
“Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” This is true to the core, Liane. We are our full selves when we love, and express that love be it to a partner, family or even a pet. That expression, that being, is our most natural way.
I love this blog so much. To go from feeling that your body was a prison to knowing that the particles that make up the body is made from love is a huge shift. Understanding this brings a new understanding as to why we ought never to abuse the body but instead honour it deeply.
Yes it’s the absolute truth Elizabeth that the particles of the body are divine, and that it makes no sense to rubbish the very vehicle that enhouses us. We will do well to deeply honour the body.
Beautifully said Elizabeth. How could we ever consider our body a prison once we understand we have Godly particles.
True Elizabeth – and we are so good at finding ways to abuse our bodies. But imagine if we used all that time and energy on supporting our bodies? The state of health in the world would be in a very different place indeed!
And the health system wouldn’t be on the verge of bankruptcy either and those working in the field would find their jobs a lot more enjoyable and rewarding.
Yes, it is an absolutely massive change of perspective, from the burdensome idea of being trapped to the realisation that we are of and from love is unreal. Feeling and appreciating this love is certainly key to looking after the body that houses it.
To accept love, to truly give it and receive it – is a huge healing. And as Gabriele has touched on, one only has to look at the state of the healthcare system – the debt if faces and how reliant we are on it, and the state of the healthcare workers to see that there is an extreme imbalance.
Elizabeth I love what you said in your amazing comment and I agree that this understanding helped me as well to identify more the abusive behavior I had and to change or to stopp it.
Lovely Liane the way you describe the connection to our body and soul is very beautiful. Following sentences made my whole body respond to it. “Whether we accept it or not, our bodies are forever responding to the Universe that we are an innate part of, no different to the way our oceans respond to the moon or our trees respond to the wind.” That felt so true and if I am honest I always have knew it. Thank you for not holding back about your connection with yourself.
This is expansive and joyful and connects us the greater all – “Whether we accept it or not, our bodies are forever responding to the Universe that we are an innate part of, no different to the way our oceans respond to the moon or our trees respond to the wind.”
It is really great, how Liane describes the connection to our body and soul, how we respond to the Universe, it is how we choose to respond to this. We can choose to be ‘no different to the way our oceans respond to the moon or our trees respond to the wind’ or, we can work hard, complicate and call in a force to work against the amazingness of the flow of the Universe. There is a flow and ease to the former, one that is full of simplicity, self honouring and oneness with all. This is a much grander way of being and very loving.
I love the way how you describe the different ways to respond to the Universe. It makes it very tangible for me – wunderbar.
Steps in self care and honouring how I feel built a foundation of self love and through this a true feeling, I have reconnected and now honour the fact that I am divine “Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.” And I am equally so with every body on this planet. It changes everything.
This is so true Liane, ‘The quality of our health is in our hands’, and true health comes from ‘accepting and allowing our bodies to respond to what they so naturally are designed to respond to – Love.’
Yes absolutely Lorraine, our body is designed to be harmonious and so it will always call us back to harmony whenever we choose to leave it, it is just up to us to listen and accept the call back!
Absolute Love – our bodies never stop loving us and supporting us to be the Love we naturally are.
Yes this is true how our body’s call us back to love and so so often we do let ourselves realise and accept this as we have been led to believe or we think illness and disease just happen and its an inconvenience. Actually though it is a blessing and one we can grow from.
Like an aircraft circles in a holding pattern before it lands sometimes, so too do we. We circle in a holding pattern that can guarantee some form of ache, pain or ailment. The thing is, the quality of this pattern is self regulated, in other words, it is completely determined by our choices. The vibration of the particles within us occupies a certain space that determine the amount of lightness in the body and this is determined by the amount of self care that we choose. This is what changes the holding pattern and out of cycles we live within.
Love your analogy of the aeroplane and its circling holding pattern Matthew. I remember hearing ‘stories’ about the skies being full of old world war pilots still out there circling in their light planes feeling unable to land because it was a better place to be than on earth!
Every time we ‘create’ a holding pattern and enact it out the body’s natural divine pulse and emanation is distorted and skewed and, in that, we remain circling around day after day until we reconnect to our inner heart, and dedicate ourselves to being aware of every move as it arises. We can always choose the ‘joy stick’ and land on the runway, on our way home.
Ha Ha Lindy! I get the anology and the importance of choosing to land in our own time and in a loving, nurturing environment choosing to come home to ourselves.
‘We are love and if we choose to not live this love, then we invite a whole manner of illness and dis-ease into our bodies simply because: It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.’ Thank you for this Liane. Up until a few years ago I used to see my body as my enemy, forever trying to deal with various aches, pains and symptoms. But looking at it this from the view that these physical problems are occurring because of the resistance I have to living myself in full and claiming the love that I am brings a new dimension to this. It has been my choice to hold back and not feel the divine stillness of the love that is inside me, as it is equally inside everyone else. And all my body has so lovingly been doing is trying to communicate this to me by showing the dis-ease this brings.
I agree Eleanor, and also as Liane shares, ‘Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.’
Eleanor, I so agree, that quote from Liane’s blog is life changing one allows it to be. ‘We are love and if we choose to not live this love, then we invite a whole manner of illness and dis-ease into our bodies simply because: It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.’ I also used to see my body as the enemy, always trying to figure out what was wrong with me…..why did I still have these ailments, allowing the beating up cycle to enter, which just further perpetuated feeling down about myself and my body. But as you say, looking at it from the perspective of we are love and claiming that, it has been my choice to hold back and yes my body has been lovingly communicating this to me, so important to listen.
It feels painful to consider that we are resisting and fighting the Love that we are and are held in in every moment.
“And all my body has so lovingly been doing is trying to communicate this to me by showing the dis-ease this brings.” I love the way you express this Eleanor, it makes it so simple to understand and choose. I love when I do listen to that communication and do then feel the flow of the Love and the Universe, and I can tell that because my body loves it too! When I step out of line and resist, get irritated with returning symptoms and try to get rid of them, it never works, because it can’t. The only way to heal is from a connection with the inner heart and the love that we intrinsically are, in every part of us. When we feel our connection with every cell in our bodies, and the way they speak to us, we have wisdom, and there is no doubt of being able to choose love.
“Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” Nailed it Liane, in fact your whole blog has nailed it. I can feel the absolute truth and power in this writing and how super healing it is for my body to read on so many levels…..deeply supportive, deeply loving and deeply held is what your writing offers and brings. Thank you.
Absolutely jacqmcfadden04 – Liane really has claimed in full what is behind illness and disease and how a lack of expressing and connecting to love. Our bodies can show us so much, and as we truly accept this, we allow more love and understanding.
To choose to hold back is to choose the start of illness. This is a huge concept for people to understand, but Liane has offered us that bridge of understanding.
Choosing to hold back our love, in other words choosing to hold back from committing to life in full is the start of illness is indeed a huge concept for people, I agree hvmorden, but it sure is time that this seed is planted and grown through this blog and comments and many blogs like it…. thus people will find it when they are ready….
A much needed bridge this is. To consider our part in the rising epidemic of illness and disease, the way in which we live, the choices we make and whether we have put on the brakes and held back our amazingness or with the flow of life is endlessly reflected back to us in every moment for us to learn from and to grow.
Yes what Liane has offered is very relatable and brings a new perspective to illness and disease.
Yes jacqmcfadden04, Liane presents with absolute power, authority and claiming of the truth – a truth that cannot but get through to the very core of our being when presented in this way.
“I can feel the absolute truth and power in this writing and how super healing it is for my body to read on so many levels…..deeply supportive, deeply loving and deeply held is what your writing offers and brings.” I agree jacqmcfadden04…I have read this blog several times now and every time feel the depth of love and support that is here for us all to learn and grow from – absolute gold and so very inspiring Liane.
Yes Jacqmcfadden04, Liane has delivered this from heaven for us: “Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” I can feel it applies to me personally, and to the whole of humanity.
Liane, I really loved your parting paragraph, but specifically……”do we fight, or do we flow? The quality of our health is in our hands.” This is so true and something that we as a humanity are not wanting to take full responsibility for. Yet it is so profoundly true, that we are, as you also said, “our bodies are forever responding to the Universe that we are an innate part of”, this will become a truth for all in time.
It seems quite crazy that we as humanity are forever creating ways to side step the responsibility that we have, especially to our bodies. It simply makes sense that the “quality of our health is in our hands” but we ignore this obvious truth and blame any illness or disease on our genes, the microwave, the power lines etc, everything but the lack of care that we have been taking. I agree raegankcairney that there will come a time when humanity will not be able to ignore any longer that our bodies are wiser than we have been lead to believe; they are our markers of truth; a truth that we ignore at our peril.
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” What a powerful line Liane (amongst many others in this article). If we all truly understood this, there is no way we would choose to be anything less than love. I have had this experience when being seriously ill, feeling just how much energy it was taking to hold onto the protection that had been with me my whole life. During that illness, I finally got to drop the guard of protection and feel just how much easier it was to live without it. That particular point became a marker for me moving forward to experience a different way that was more open and loving.
I agree Donna, that line is very powerful and very revealing, and actually explains so much in terms of how exhausted we all are as a human race. For we have all been in resistance to the love we innately are. I for sure was until I met Serge Benhayon and got the reflection of love and the reflection of how to live that love in a world that is set up to be everything that is not love.
We wonder why we are so constantly exhausted, could this be the reason, ‘It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.’
Makes a lot of sense. Given the levels of exhaustion in society and the reliance on sugar and caffeine en masse we are clearly living a long way less than the love that we naturally are.
That statement really stood out for me as well – “It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” The utter stupidity and futility become very evident when it is stated like this.
‘Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.’ This is such a beautiful line, and a lovely reminder to listen to, respect and honour our bodies.
Absolutely Carmel.
Our bodies are sacred and never should we live less for we will reflect this less to all other beings.
Wow what a beautiful understanding and knowing this brings thank you for sharing with so much wisdom and understanding. The reality that our bodies are part of God’s body that we are divine beings from heaven and that all is known and shown to us through our bodies really makes sense of the beauty and love we are and need to appreciate ourselves and express from here.
What you so well describe here Liane is two completely distinct ways of looking at our human bodies. One way is in disregard, abusing the body with food, alcohol, drugs, emotions, and a hard lifestyle of stress. Of course the body is blamed for breaking down under this onslaught. The other is completely different, like the animal kingdom where a body is treated with reverence and sacredness, totally in tune with Nature, the seasons and surroundings. “We allow our breath to sync to the rhythm of Nature, the breath of God – the All of Us”
Through our sacred bodies the path back to god is revealed.
It is very special to embrace that each of us through our bodies have a permanent, divine connection to God.
Through our sacred bodies the path back to God is revealed. Awesome Bernard Cincotta.
Beautifully expressed Bernard. It is true that we can treat our body with disregard, abuse and disdain and yet blame the body for reflecting back to us such harmful living. It is deeply irresponsible to abuse and rubbish the soul’s vehicle on earth and deny humanity a true reflection of God.
We could learn a lot from nature if we could see past our arrogance of assuming we are the more intelligent species. Bernard I love your line ” like the animal kindom where a body is treated with reverence and sacredness, totally in tune with nature, the seasons and surroundings.” Animals I feel also know the cycles including there own and it feels they live in respect of there evolution. We on the other hand think we are immortal and bullet proof and are surprised when we get ill or die. Boy we have a lot to relearn not only from nature but from our history!
How very true Merrilee. There is a part of us that is bullet proof, and it is, as you say, a very arrogant aspect, that treats the physical body like a wanton play thing, chewing it up, tossing it around. We can learn so much from observing nature and from listening to our own bodies – divine particles.
The simplicity of just aligning ourselves to our bodies would save us so much discomfort
You’ve said it in a nutshell Joe. Aligning ourselves to our bodies would save so much discomfort. It is interesting that we choose this discomfort thinking it is a comfortable place to stay and delay!
I spent most of my life disconnecting from my body to avoid uncomfortable or threatening situations but never truly feeling safe in the disconnection. I have found that quite to the contrary – being with my body is the safest place to be. Who would have thought!
Dear Jeanette, I so agree….I spent so much time (and still do some days) not being with my body because I felt it was not safe (as I was not fully connected) and it betrayed me (by getting sick etc…). But it is the most solid and safe place to be and as this blog so beautifully portrays, it is also divine. Thank you Lianne for writing such a masterpiece.
True Joe. Taking the time to get to know our bodies, to listen and to surrender to our bodies wisdom and knowing is well worth it.
My body is within the body of God.
It’s a great shame that many of us choose to not live to our full potential. We are beings that reside in a universe and are therefore made up of universal particles. But we choose a mundane life and settle for soap operas, TV dinners and loveless relationships. If we really apply ourselves we are capable of so much more. The expansion that is possible when we choose to truly take care of ourselves and choose to be aware of our bodies, our environment and our full power is absolutely immense, and so very far from the ‘normal’ way that we so often choose.
I love coming back to this blog as it quickly reconnects me to knowing of the importance of how I am treating my body matters and therefore feel the love that it is and runs through it. Thank you, Liane.
I love this blog Liane, thank you. Every time I come back to read it again it inspires me to accept more the love in my body and go with that flow rather than fight it.
Liane, loved what you have shared here. I can so relate to what you have written, not ever feeling like I ‘fitted’ in my body, not liking my body, let alone love it. I avoided being in it, connecting with it and medicated in many abusive substances as a result. Then would go to every new age therapy known to man, to try and understand what was indeed going on in my body and seek further understanding about why the world was as it was and what was my part to play in that. Re-learning to connect with my body has been a long and slow process, mostly because I didn’t want to feel for a long time that love that has always been there, then the hurt of not having connected to that. That has be painful to feel, but so worth it.
Paying attention to our bodies enables us to feel more the parts that make up the whole, to feel the tensions we have set up and to gently release and let go. In return, our bodies respond with a warm feeling that is with us throughout our day.
Living life with the joy inside ourselves is an amazing way to be and a much needed refection to the world. Inspiring others is so much part of who we are and brings miracles to our lives lived in every moment if we choose it.This is true medicine as inspired by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine and this lovely blog thank you Liane.
I love what you say here Liane: ‘It is a bit like having the ability to sing like an angel but never opening your mouth to sing. Holding back that beauty and that Divine expression is a pain far greater than what can be physically inflicted on the body and that physical pain serves as a marker for the love that we hold back.’ Just very specifically, I have actually been spending some time singing with a friend who is a really amazing musician. She has lovingly supported me to sing by not critiquing anything that comes out of my mouth, but just accepting me as I am, enabling more of who I am to express in this way. It has been one of the greatest healings I have ever had – to feel the joy, the delicacy and the power, no matter what the perceived sound that comes out of mouth is, even though it doesn’t (to my ears) sound like the way voice ‘should’ if it was to be considered a ‘good’ voice. It has been amazing to not hold back for fear of criticism (my own and others)
Beautiful sharing Lyndy Summerhaze. I can feel the healing you received for ‘not holding back’ all that you are. Very inspiring, because I am aware of how much I still hold back and how it is making my body really tired and so I am eating more to get more energy….That said, I have so much loving support around me, that is bringing me understanding to the ‘why’, why am I still doing this?
I know exactly what you mean Jacqmcfadden04, true expression grows our energy while holding back is draining. I was tired this morning, which is unusual for me, and I was not feeling amazing, though I was aware go the amazingness underneath the top layer! This afternoon after work I had date with a friend to complete an article. As soon as we started expressing and writing there was absolutely no tiredness there, only a sense of immense well-being and joy.
A choice to fight or flow? This blog is flowing with the pulse of GOD… Your writing Liane is simply Divine and I have returned many times to read this article and the comments that have ‘flowed’ from it.
I am truly inspired and feeling the fact that we are ALL held in the Body of God and it’s just a natural choice to honour this holding.
I agree Kathryn reading Liane’s blog is such a beautiful invitation to connect to the flow of God’s divinity so simply with our own breath.
Yes coming back to the breath. It so simple and so very beautiful. It’s like the choice to be on a life-long ‘program’ choosing to be aware of God’s Love within us every single day. 🙂
We are all held in the body of God… feels deeply nourishing, deeply supportive and just to honour this holding brings so much awareness and healing.
Our relationship with our bodies is like we were given an amazing gift but like excited kids we discarded and disregarded the instructions booklet and just started messing around with it. Then as things go wrong we throw our hands up in despair – and say “what a faulty design you’ve given me here!”. Yet when we take time to locate and understand the user manual as you have done Liane, and see that our body runs on Love and harmony, naturally, well, this changes everything.
“the choice to ‘fight’ or ‘flow’ is ours to make, in every single moment and with every given breath”. A marker i use from my body to feel if there is flow or resistance – from the flow of my day to the flow of a project.
Yes abuse of our bodies does include that ‘perceived good’ mentioned in this blog and I would in particular nominate the way Yoga and exercise is popularly practiced in a way that does not at all honour the body, but actually numbs it – through the endorphin effect – in order to relieve the pain and reduce sensitivity to the reflection our bodies offer us of how a life of disregard is actually effecting them. Besides the self harm imposed in exercise which results in the endorphin induced ‘exercise high’, many people go on to use ‘fitness’ to live in an extreme way, justifying that they can abuse their bodies with poisonous foods and drink as well as work and play hard behaviours because they are fit enough to bounce back. All this is being chosen as a perceived good and the fitness industry itself sanctions the exercise high to be a good thing. This actually reveals very poor awareness of what is occurring in the body due to the stress exercise is causing it.
Wow Simon, this is a great comment. I would love to read a whole article about all the angles you have addressed here about the stress of exercise.
Another power-full blog Liane – thank you. In addition to your expression I found the wisdom expressed by many of the commenters equally impactual. Quite awesome really.
To quote your words…”Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love”… is the pain of separation that we all talk about? I am feeling more and more the ‘being’ that is inside of me. Delicate, tender and gentle and something to be honoured. But oh so quickly I forget, and go back to the me that I think is me on the outside. But now I have a beautiful marker in my body to come back to in any given moment, because inside me is an angel from God and to not honour that would be a catastrophe for me, and the world has seen too many catastrophes for me to create another! Thank you Liane.
It takes more energy to resist love than be it , so true and so revealing of how we live on earth with the exhaustion levels illness and disease rising every day out of control. An all simply from resisting love, not expressing it, living it and being the love we innately all are. A great sharing thank you.
This sentence reminds me of the responsibility we was to care for our bodies no just for ourselves but of humanity as we are all one.
You are right Margaret, it is a responsibility, our bodies are a gift to evolve and therefore should be treasured, honoured and appreciated for all the workings that go on day in and day out, and if we work with our bodies instead of against them then the potential to evolve grows exponentially every day, and every cycle.
My relationship with God and my relationship with my innermost self are one and the same thing. God is very much out there in the world and getting on with it. So must I in bringing what is inside to the outside.
This is a really great piece of writing explaing how all our suffering comes from not honouring the fact that, “Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.”
A Simple and powerful Truth. Our bodies quickly show us how we are living life.
‘It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.’ And there we have it. The way so many of us resist love most of the time? No wonder the world is exhausted.
So true Kathryn. All we need to do is surrender, but we fight and fight against love. Yes it is exhausting.
Feeling trapped and exhausted in my body has been a self perpetuating cycle based on the belief that this is it, this is all there is, absolute dullness – how can I escape this? Enter all manner of distractions, abuses and numbingly good foods, emotions and behaviours and the body is literally corralled and bullied into existing in a way contra to that in which it is built. There is a magical moment that occurs when you start to realise that the disempowering you have bought into for so long is not a prison, that it can be slowly and methodically discarded by practicing love, appreciation and care. Brilliant article that has prompted me to review yet again where the resistance lies to the Universal fact that I am from God, I am universal.
So true Lee. The other way is so much simpler and easier.
True and it is far easy to seek to escape, rather than examine how we are living our bodies and what is really going on.
The story of being enslaved to our body – a prisoner to it certainly takes the responsibility and focus away from us as the drivers of it, masters of it and creators of such a reality.
Very true comment Lee sometimes I feel I make self-care, self-nurturing and Love a struggle based on the belief life is hard when in reality that was based on my core belief that I don’t deserve to feel alive and vibrant. It is time to move on and claim the truth and that is that we are all Love and that includes me. This is something I can feel deep within me and it is my responsibility not to get distracted and go into being a victim and connect with the Love that I am.
The basis of the beliefs that hold us is the fact that we are not and do not come from Love. We know deep within that this is not true and yet we persist in layering and trying on more beliefs in order to make it ‘more believable’. It is great to call this out Margaret – we are Love, it is that simple – we just have to choose it.
So beautifully written Liane, I love these words ring of what has been allowed to accumulate from being in resistance to this pull. “their particles belong to the Universe and answer to that call and not to our self imposed one. However, true health comes from not overriding or resisting this but accepting and allowing our bodies to respond to what they so naturally are designed to respond to – Love.”
Liane I have also ‘I rejected love, I rejected myself, I rejected the body that I had come to view as my prison, and…I rejected God.’ But I have also reclaimed the love once so adamantly rejected and I am appreciating more day by day the love my body holds and the love God is.
Power-packed blog Liane! It was honouring to myself to read this blog the way it was written with – Truth – Love – Power – Stillness – Joy – Harmony. It was a blog for humanity – “PLEASE READ before you begin life or do anything!!!”. It reminds me to not be distracted and honour the ‘real’ love from my body (the Universe |God) and let it flow. Why not accept your great love and express it!
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it”. BEAUTIFUL.
Liane, I love the title of your blog: ‘My Body and the Body of God’ for it highlights a key point which you say so beautifully: “the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that enhouses us all.” It gives me a sense of a much vaster picture than the small one we tend to cling to which makes us feel ‘trapped’ inside the body. Seen in this light we each have a responsibility as a particle in the universe to bring love rather than disharmony.
The question arises, to what extent am I still resisting love, for this habit has become so ingrained and for how many lives have I rejected the love that I am. Something for me to be consciously aware of with every step, with my every breath….
Oh how I have resisted love, rejected the love that is my most natural essence, and thus my life was filled with so much struggle… summed up in this divine truth: ‘ It takes more energy to resist love than to be it’.
A beautiful description of the human condition. “we are love and if we choose to not live this love, then we invite a whole manner of illness and dis-ease into our bodies simply because:
It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.”
Yes, the manner of illness and disease made manifest by our choice to not accept nor live the love we are is undeniable, and brings focus to the harm of living other than who we are.
“We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God,…”
So beautiful reading your blog again Lianne, it connects me deeper to my body and fills it up with love. So precious!
The only way to feel true confidence is when I connect to both my Love and my body. Because in connecting to my body I am em-body-ing the Love that I am. This to me feels just amazing. The warmth, the tenderness, the spaciousness, the everything inside me feels as if I am connecting literally to Heaven on earth.
What you have shared here Floris is so beautiful.
True confidence, love and body equals embodying love.
It is indeed a joy to connect to our divinity and confirm and appreciate the Love that we are.
I love what you say here Lianne about not expressing what we know to be true: “It is a bit like having the ability to sing like an angel but never opening your mouth to sing.” This is very familiar to me, and is exactly how I lived my life up unitl quite recently. And you are so right, as the pain of not connecting to the love we know we are is far greater than any other pain we may experience from outside of us.
I experienced just recently another level of how much it hurts our bodies to try and control situations, what may lay ahead in the future instead of surrendering to an unknown, and it was profound to feel what this did to my body. I felt like I was tied up in tight elastic bands that held me so contracted…..When eventually I did let go, and let myself simply be with how I feeling, which was very vulnerable, it was amazing to feel how quickly my body responded by expanding and opening up again. Our bodies are made to surrender to the ebbs and flow of life, to whatever is unfolding before us. It’s our minds that freak out with all the conditions and expectations that come from our fears and insecurities but our bodies know they are part of something so much greater and that all that is needed is for us to take one graceful step after another. The power that lays within our bodies, is enormous, we have access to heaven when we let go and simply honour and surrender to the vessel we are enhoused in.
‘It’s our minds that freak out with all the conditions and expectations that come from our fears and insecurities but our bodies know they are part of something so much greater and that all that is needed is for us to take one graceful step after another.’ This is so true and reminds me to take much more respect, care and love for my body for I know that, in turn, allows me more respect, care and love in my communication.
This is so true Katerina. Our bodies know and it’s our minds that send us astray with all the fear. It’s time for us all to trust that we are a part of something so much greater.
Absolutely Katerina.
Our bodies respond to a higher order of grandness – we can go with divine flow and natural expansion or fight our body and our own divinity.
‘Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world’ and to realise that we have this option at any moment is inspiring. So often we live far from this truth and forget our part which is living the love that we are. When we stop rejecting love and express our truth we will see that in this rejection we were impeding our own evolution to be the natural Sons of God where love and truth expand and we more ably claim our truth to the world.
Great observation and awareness merrileepettinato- “Bodies are dense”
I never equated the fact that it’s what we take on from the outside world – emotions, situations, other people’s dramas, and absorb that makes our body feel dense.
But if we stay connected to our inner heart and observe, we remain light, and expansive.
Liane this is so true and I espcially love your sharing that ” the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” And this I know too without any doubt.
And knowing this tricianicholson makes connecting to and expressing the love that we the very best medicine available to mankind. Go Serge Benhayon for showing us how.
” The real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.”- I can feel the truth of this, and sadness of having not chosen to connect to the deep love that I am, and know that my body is made up of divine particles from the universe/ God.
I feel this as well Loretta. Having a body and not having expressed the enormous love that I come from through it, but rather all that opposes this has been hugely confronting and painful at times. This is where Universal Medicine comes in, as it provides a foundational support for us as we work through this and return to expressing all the love that we are. A heavenly blessing.
Yes Loretta, I can feel the truth in this too, and the sadness of not having lived and expressed that love in the past.
“Bodies are dense” This had me realise the density of our body is from the weight of the world that we choose to take in, when we choose to not absorb all the emotions and dramas going on around us and observe them instead, we are left far lighter and able to stay with the love we are.
Merrileepettinato this is fabulous. So clear, to the point and illuminating.
There is indeed great space created when we become observers of life.
Yes and then as we pull in the ‘weight of the world’ we get comfortable with being dense and relating to others from this denseness. This takes effort all the time to sustain. No wonder we are all exhausted.
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” so true and definitely can be seen in the current rise of illness and disease in the world today as a result of not choosing what is so innate to us, which is love.
This too has been my experience – how drained and fatigued I become when I go against my natural rhythm and the Love I am, when I react, absorb the emotions of others or attach to human life and the human condition. To choose Love is expansive, enriching and a vitality that is within my every breath and step.
Deborah thank you for sharing your experience it is beautiful the way you have expressed it.
Beautiful Deborah, in this you are an inspiration.
As I read this blog I felt sadness come up at how much I fight being the love that I am and how the realisation that it does take more effort to resist love than be love is true. You see that’s not what my head has been telling me, my mind tells me it is hard work to be still and it is harder to be present than distracted in comfort and this is what I prefer to believe because that way I do not have to take responsibility and I can blissfully continue to use foods to check out and avoid feeling what my body is reliably communicating to me. This is such a superb article Liane, we are God’s love and when we live the truth, there is a flow that simply is not there in comfort.
Flow or fight is a simple choice.
Surrendering the Love we are in every moment or leaving that behind for whatever will readily fill it’s place – we are giving ourselves away for a deeply uncomfortable comfort and unsustainable solution when the answer remains clear as day – Love.
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” the depth of this sentence alone shows the fact our society is living so far from what everyone naturally craves and wants – love – when true love is innately within and we have to actually put so much effort into not having love. Yet that is the reality for most of humanity at the moment.
Agreed David, this is a powerful line. How we are all exhausting ourselves in resisting our own love!! It is little wonder caffeine and sugar are the worlds most highly traded commodities. The drug trade off. Love or Sugar?
You could say alcohol, or food, or struggle, or drugs, or work, or entertainments .. the list of numbing and distracting methods we employ is phenomenal, it’s like we will go to any length just not to feel and show anyone else we are heavenly Sons of God. But numb is the best we can do, for we are that and will always be heavenly Sons of God and there is nothing that can destroy this fact, for it is our innate truth.
Well said Jeanette, it is our innate truth, however knowing this truth is not enough if we do not choose to embody it.
This is very true David. The love we need, is the love we are. Our illusion lies in looking outward and elsewhere for the only thing that can truly heal us. By making it ‘allusive’ and external we afford ourselves an excuse to not live the love that we are so naturally infused with. Quite clever really…
We deny ourselves what we already have knowing that as we look OUT there for it we are guaranteed to never find it.
The quality of our health is in our hands. More specifically, it is in every particle that we allow to move in tune with this Divine symphony.’ Deepening my understanding of this truth is transforming my relationship with my body. Knowing that how I am in my body, affects the All, brings me back to self responsibility and being in tune with the Universal rhythm of Love.
“Our bodies are not prisons made of flesh, far from it.” True, but so many of us use it in this way. The idea of hiding inside oneself is strange. Even serious extroverts are hiding just as much as an introverted person. I have done it lots, but what reflection does that show humanity? It confirms that it is ok to to take a step back from life and cruise through in the backseat.
How readily we accept a comfortable less and learn to live with a dysfunctional body when all the while our bodies are heavenly and belong to a grandness and order of precision and love.
Yes Jinya we try and hide ourselves in our body, in our work, in our relationships, in our families but ultimately we can’t hide the great light we are – we only delay sharing and reflecting the divinity of who we are and what all those around us are waiting for.
An important point to emphasise and re-iterate and re-state over and over again until we ALL come to know this as our truth: “We are God’s Love without exception, restriction or limitation”. It will save us from ourselves!
I love it Jeannette, to re- iterate and re- state over and over again and keep confiming in every step that : ‘ We are God’s Love with no excuse ‘
I love this blog Liane, we are the body of GOD, he is within us as we are within him, so would it not be our normal to live in this body as GOD would, with absolute regard, love and care.
It makes complete sense Anna, yet I look around and am seeing almost everyone living the opposite way. I know I used to. This makes no sense whatsoever, other than the fact that we must come from so much love that there is something, a force trying its best to oppose this because of how powerful we are when we are simply ourselves, a divine reflection of God.
I agree James, I do not see very many living as I feel GOD would live say he had a body on earth. What a role model he would be if we allowed him.
Very true Anna, we do have Serge Benhayon and now others who are living with a very high level of responsibility and so whilst not fully living as God would on Earth are doing a very good job at it, of course without any need for perfection. Thankfully we have Serge and others who can show us that it is indeed possible to live this way otherwise we have no reflection showing how we can live a truly loving life.
‘do we fight or flow’ with love that is, as you put is Liane it is that simple. I love how you present for us the larger picture or plan, that we are a body of love within a larger body of love, and our job is simple – to express the love we are in our body to allow that greater love to be for all – we are part of a larger plan and if we let go and allow our love to be expressed in our bodies there is no angst, no anxiousness (we only get into this when we try to control, when we make it about us). We are love in a sea of love, do we fight that or be the love? That’s all there is … love.
I love this monicag2 — ‘we are love in a sea of love’. When I let myself surrender to my body I have definitely felt this, and I know I am so much more than flesh and bones, the stillness within is part of an ocean of stillness that holds me from within and from all around. When we try and control situations, how we feel etc we lose this connection, even though we are still swimming in the same sea of love as you have said, we forget, we freak out, start to think we’re going to drown etc. And we can try this solution and that solution, but in truth the only thing that is needed is for us to stop, reconnect and feel from our bodies, and then we know we are home.
“We are love in a sea of love” I agree monicag2, it takes far more energy to fight being the love we all naturally are when we can just choose and accept that which we innately are within our bodies.
What you present here Liane, makes a lot of sense, when you look around at all the war and conflict in our world. In these cases we literally see what happens when we become used to ‘flighting’ love. How deeply absurd that we have come to beat against one another as some relief. Your words here emphasise for us to see, how our actions and our body are not as separate as we like to see, and how in truth it is very simple. We are God’s Love without exception, restriction or limitation.
True Joseph – why do we fight, choose struggle complexity and relief when this is at odds with divinity and the Love that we are?
Good one Joseph, we can clearly see where fighting love is leading.
Allowing are bodies, our particles to move with the divine symphony of love … We all, each and every one of us have a part to play in this divine plan … Do we fight or do we flow? Great question Liane.
Indeed Suzanne…”do we fight or do we flow?” it is simply our choice in every moment.
“do we fight or do we flow”…..
What a great question, Liane. Many of us have spent lifetimes fighting the natural flow of our bodies and it has bought us to this point now where the rates of illness and disease are extra-ordinary. Maybe it is time to feel and listen to the “Divine Symphony” which our bodies are expressing every day, but again that is our choice.
Listening to the Divine Symphony and accepting in full that we are one with God’s music could change greatly how we live our lives and therefore arrest the ill-flow of energy and choices that arise from living at odds with our natural quality and divine expression.
Yes, the key point that it exhausts us if we live what we are not and the crazy fact that who we are is love. Together it means it is much easier to live the fact that we are love (once we know exactly what that is), it means that we are usually only tired in the evening and rarely exhausted and many of the everyday ailments simply disappear. It will take a while for medical research to catch up with this (defining ‘love’ will be interesting…) but it is the key to reduce the costs in our health care system.
There is great learning available to us all by the wisdom of our body and natural cycle.
Absolutely Anna, many of us have spent life times fighting our natural flow, and in this fight taken on illness and disease. It’s about time we start to listen to and feel what our bodies are expressing, only then we can start to defeat illness and diease.
Yes and yet we still blame illness and disease on our genetics. Why is it that we do not consider our natural flow when we are unwell?
Anne, it is staggering where we are now up to with rates of illness and disease. ‘Maybe it is time to feel and listen to the “Divine Symphony” which our bodies are expressing every day”. Clearly we are missing a trick or two!
Rachel how telling would it be if our bodies did actually produce a sound which reflected their state of being. We would have sounds from the most glorious of symphonys to the most awful discordant clatterings. I wonder then, would we still ignore them if they made sound ? Probably as we ignore more obvious signs, such a pain.
Great question indeed, and it seems like you share that we have been and still are fighting a lot. We fight against love, we fight against our own light, we fight against our own body and as long as we do this, illness and disease will be over the roof.
I love it Anne so true and something we should all look at. I used to make life a struggle, an arduous mission where it had to be tough instead of accepting the natural flow my body was showing. It is much less exhausting the more I listen to my body!
‘In full reaction to the lack of love I could see being lived in the world and without seemingly realising it, I rejected love, I rejected myself, I rejected the body that I had come to view as my prison’ I can so easily relate to this, and having seen hundreds, if not, thousands of clients over the years can equally say this is what is known as normal. We get so used to living this way that true love and true joy only exist in fairy tales and even then our perception of this tends to be of some blissful and totally unreal state.When we get to connect to the body of love that we have ignored for so long we cannot help but feel our potential and the love that we are. The Gentle Breath Meditation, as taught by Serge Benhayon, is a great first step in this process.
“Our bodies are not prisons made of flesh, far from it. Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.” This has been such an awakening for me realising this. I would not say I had felt trapped within my body and although I thought it was/is an amazing piece of engineering I believed it was me to push, or rather abuse, it to the limits I chose. It was not until the common sense presentations by Serge Benhayon of allowing my body to be my guide rather than mind have I begun to establish harmony with myself and my body.
This has also been an awakening for me Jonathan. Choosing my body to guide me rather than my mind. Wow what a difference this has made to the quality of my life.
Yes Kathryn, choosing my body to guide me rather than my mind has had a huge impact on my life and well being also. I have found the more I listen and feel into what my body is communicating to me, the deeper and clearer the communication has become.
Absolutely Rosemary! The more we listen to the body the deeper and clearer the communication becomes. It becomes as clear as the ‘nose’ on your face! And the gallbladder in your abdomen, and your liver nestling close by, and your heart beneath the sternum! They are all speaking with such a depth of wisdom about the quality of our expression!
Yes Lyndy, not only does every organ communicate to us clearly of the choices we make, but every cell in our body vibrates in accordance with our thoughts, feelings and attitudes to life , our cells then reflect our choices by our overall wellbeing and vitality, or lack of it.
Great discussion here Ladies on difference between choosing to listen to and be guided by the body and rather than the mind. I love what you have offered here Rosemary ” . . . every cell in our body vibrates in accordance with our thoughts, feelings and attitudes to life , our cells then reflect our choices by our overall wellbeing and vitality, or lack of it.” It seems to conclude just how important it is to be aware of how things effect our body.
I love this too. Every cell vibrating with our thoughts feelings and attitudes. Wow. The choices we make are living within us.
Yes kathrynfortuna but not only are these choices living within they are affecting other cells that we come in contact with. i.e. everyone and everything we are exchanging particles with on a moment to moment daily basis. Fascinating science really driving home our full responsibility.
It is really beautiful to see our bodies are a vessel from heaven to be honoured treasured and respected as this and so different to the disregarding way of living, wanting to escape from it in every possible way. I love and relate to all you share, thank you Liane, for sharing the true appreciation we can all have.
‘Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world’. Yes thank you Liane, this delivers a most appreciated perspective.
How true this is Liane and Abby – ‘Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our True selves within them and express this truth to the world.’ This serves as a constant reminder to me of my responsibility to live Heaven on earth
I agree Abby, it is a great way of viewing life and our bodies. It means we have a big responsibility to reflect heaven and therefore we need to treat our bodies as the divine vehicles they are.
This really highlights to me how important it is for us to reflect heaven on earth and this starts with taking responsibility of our body, as they are the vessels on earth, to speak and express the truth we all know.
The ultimate responsibility to not hold back the love and truth we are.
This brings a responsibility to treat our bodies as the divine vehicles they are so we are reflecting heaven here on earth: “Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.”
Yes, I second that Tricia, thank you Liane, and I agree it is an amazing turn around from wanting to escape the body and effectively abusing it all of the time to seeing it in its preciousness and honouring it to the bone. I appreciate that choice within myself, it is the best choice I could have ever made.
How would it be if we raised our children in the understudying of the body being the vehicle of Gods’ expression? What would happen to the way we exercise, eat, play sport? But also how different would our expression be? It is this that the students of the Livingess are returning to and it is a beautiful road to travel.
A beautiful returning indeed, worth every step.
“Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” Bullseye. So true. Anything I have ever done to numb myself is because of the intolerable pain of living less than the whole of my magnificence as a soul on earth.
Jinya I just have to highlight your last few words “the whole of my magnificence as a Soul on earth” made my body tingle as I felt the profound truth. Holding back our magnificence is diminishing of our responsibility.
We are all in some way holding back in life from being who we truly are. Why?
An interesting question Vicky, is it fear and ignorance? Is it denseness in the body? I love what Donna wrote about the body is the house for my soul. We can spend a long time hiding this fact from ourselves and holding back, purely delaying from feeling the truth of who we truly are. Liane writes with great power that ‘We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that enhouses us all.’
What I am discovering more and more is that even though at times my body may ache, feel sore or tired, I can still feel within me the amazing light that I am, and that we come from Heaven, that I am a Son of God. Within this realisation, it calls me to deeply honour my body, knowing that it is a house for my soul. The more I feel and claim my light often my body reveals to me the past choices I have made that are not in alignment with who I really am and there may occur some shifts in the body, a clearing process that makes way for more love.
It is very interesting how quick we are to blame our bodies for breaking down meanwhile conveniently avoiding the fact that our bodies are only clearing and reflecting back to us the momentum of how we have been living. It is complete recklessness to live in a way that goes against the universal order of things and then blame the messenger who is showing us the truth of what is really going on!
Absolutely Andrew, the easy way out is to blame the body or our genes to avoid having to look at the quality of our everyday choices. The understanding that illness and disease are a way of clearing for our body gives a whole new perspective on the amazingness of our physicality and with that possibly a more respectful and honouring way of being with it.
Does this not reveal something interesting about us as Humanity?
That we live our lives in isolation to the whole in which we live.
I have lived for a long time seeing my body as the enemy. In fighting my body I was actually fighting the fact that I cannot do what ever I want and not feel the consequences of it. Our bodies will always tell us what is love and what is not, it will call us to be responsible, to feel the consequences of each choice and it will show us the way back to the ‘flow’ many of us do not even remember feeling. The key is to listen, to surrender and to stop using mind over matter. It is the matter that holds the intelligence of the universe not the mind.
The key is to listen, to surrender and to stop using mind over matter. It is the matter that holds the intelligence of the universe, not the mind. When I read your words here Carolien the word ‘surrender’ stands out for me. Allowing ourselves to surrender to our own natural, God aligned rhythms and trust ourselves within that rhythm, is asking us to be the love that we are. Perhaps we should study nature more, as it is there as our teacher in following the natural flow of life/love and it does it so beautifully.
Wow Liane, thank you for sharing. ‘Whether we accept it or not, our bodies are forever responding to the Universe that we are an innate part of, no different to the way our oceans respond to the moon or our trees respond to the wind. So, how do we respond to this call – do we fight, or do we flow? The quality of our health is in our hands. More specifically, it is in every particle that we allow to move in tune with this Divine symphony.’ The choice is ours.
Although I am more present in my body than I have ever been, I had reached a point of resistance to deepen my relationship with my body. Reading this timely blog has really made me stop and ponder; to feel the reflection of appreciation on offer and to take this with me into my day – thank you Liane for sharing such a beautiful, well written article.
Liane what you say exposes clearly that we are not made to be sick, illness and disease should not be an expected state or outcome. When we consider this it is rather huge. Imagine we looked at illness and disease in a less accepting way and we all shouted stop, enough, we need to change how we live as this is not working, we are not meant to be this sick, this overweight, this angry, sad, depressed, anxious, stressed, exhausted and so on. We are actually all of us meant to be abundantly energised, full of life, joyful, playful and deeply settled in our pain free bodies and that we will no longer accept anything less than this for everyone.
A lovely summation Stephen G, sounds like a fairy tale ending but I know it is possible to experience a life as you have described as to a great extent I live in and with a joyful, full life.
When will we stop drinking copious amounts of coffee to keep us awake and instead address the fact that we are all exhausted because we have walked away from love?
Caroline only when we have to… It’s not on most people’s radar to look at any of their habits, ideals and beliefs as most are not aware of their connection to their body. It’s only when we have a STOP moment that we reflect and question why … that we might choose to be responsible with our choices and link some of our behaviours to our actions.
“Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love”. I have come to realise that there is nothing greater than the connection with me, with my body and to express from a body of love. When I am connected there is an absoluteness, a knowing of who I am that no words can describe that comes with an acceptance for every one and every thing as it is.
“The reason I was so depleted and exhausted was because I had turned my back and walked away from the love that I am, that we all are. In full reaction to the lack of love I could see being lived in the world and without seemingly realising it, I rejected love, I rejected myself, I rejected the body that I had come to view as my prison, and…I rejected God.” This explains exhaustion and the mess most of humanity are living in when written so simply. I love returning to this blog, as there is always something that captures every reason to care for my body and remind me of the connection with God and the Universe that never goes away. Thank you Liane.
Fight or flow, that certainly is the question. Realising we are made of divine particles brings a whole new responsibility to the way we live and treat our bodies. The more we resist the flow, the more turbulent our return to love will be. So let’s start flowing.
Indeed! and turbulent’s a great word kevmchardy – if our particles have to obey an order, I know the Divine order flows and to resist that order life and my body feels choppy.
So true that holding ourselves back from love is soooooooo painful. The tension that resistance to love creates in the body and in our relationships is insidious. All that is created is more pain and suffering for everyone around us and ourselves. Being me changes everything from pain to harmony in whatever situation I am in, to whatever I do and say.
Liane, your blog spells out the path forward and that is that if we connect to our body and listen to its messages that this is the pathway back to God. How important then is it that medicine, which focuses on the body, starts to understand the bigger picture that it is actually working with. This would change our health care system forever.
I agree Elizabeth, understanding that the body holds the way back to harmony is the way forward for ourselves and medicine, if it is going to truly offer a supportive and sustainable health care system.
Absolutely Elizabeth – such awareness, understanding, depth of care and healing possible for Humanity is greatly needed and well within our grasp.
Totally agree Elizabeth, this is the missing link in our health care system and I know I can start this by choosing to live more of the love that I am in everything that I do.
When we are not taught truly about our bodies, and how to understand them, we can certainly feel like we are left at the mercy of them, and that they are doing things outside of our control. Most people are not taught about how to listen to their bodies from a young age, and therefore make choices that are the most supportive for them. This needs to change as people are growing older and wondering how and why their bodies are breaking down. It does not need to be this way.
I agree Amelia, we take our bodies for granted; we need to be educated from the day we are born on how to look after our bodies, appreciate and to listen to them.
One sentence really stands out here: “It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” This just goes to show how we exhaust ourselves living so far from what we truly are.
We are forever held in Thy warmth. In the warmth, deep care and love of our father God. He’s forever holding us, appreciating us, inviting us to choose and accept more of the Divineness that we are and come from. No need for any drive, shame, guilt or any other emotion. Simply because God’s Love is absolute. And so is our Love. I found that only when I disconnect from my Love and in doing so from feeling God’s love, I am actually looking for me in whatever I do. Too proud, stubborn to reconnect to the absoluteness that I left behind. Which is total irresponsible if I take ‘absolute love’ as ‘normal’. Without perfection of course, because I’ve found this is an energy that keeps me away from being me. But yes, in reclaiming me firmly whenever I am not with me.
I used to find myself also in the fight or flight mentality. It is talked about often in personal development circles but not until I met Serge Benhayon and listened to his presentations of Esoteric Medicine did I begin to understand that there is a natural flow and rhythm to life. There is nothing to fight only more love to surrender to in my body, “Heaven’s vehicle” of expression. The words “physical pain serves as a marker for the love that we hold back” is a timely reminder Liane. Thank you.
Another gem in your blog Liane is that, “It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” This sentence stood out for me and I know the truth of it in my own experience: Several years before coming to Universal Medicine I had heart palpitations and atrial fibrillation and now I realize that it was because I was using energy to resist love. I was contracting my upper body which physically affected my heart but also effectively shut me down from feeling love. I was disconnected from the love within me and could not let love in either. I was also exceedingly drained because it takes a lot of energy to close off from the love that is in us and all around.
Beautifully written Liane, with such great clarity and the message is so inspiring because you have embodied this wisdom and are living it. There are many gems in this blog and one of them is that we are “our own worst enemy because we are running scared from what we know is true.” Yet how perverse it is for us to run from the one thing we all crave – a loving connection with ourself and others?
I am getting a deeper understand and acceptance of simply being a vessel for expressing energy. It simplifies my choices – which source of energy do I choose to express – love or not love?
I agree, Jinya I find as I accept this and feel this in my body it is this simple.
I recently listened to a song that highlighted one thing and with this blog Liane also I realise that within us lies a tremendous treasure awaiting. That in our cells there is a life that can be tapped into if we choose to, and this can only happen when we get still enough because this is the quality of that life.
One side of life asks us to continuously take up the fight and struggle to get what we want, whilst the other simply asks us to surrender and accept. And yet time and time again, it is the fight and struggle that we are drawn to. Love is so simple, and yet so difficult at the same time, perhaps not because it is not our natural expression, but rather because we take delight it making it so hard for ourselves. Go figure. Once again, I have to express my gratitude for this marvellous gem of a piece of writing. Thank you Liane.
This is a great summary of our love for struggle, misery and a fight – the comfortable clothes we choose when all the while, our true calling is simplicity, love and surrendering to all that is.
beautifully said Deborah,” our true calling is simplicity, love and surrendering to all that is.” it is only we disconnect from our bodies that we bring complication and suffering.
We will never be whole while we live at odds with the whole.
“We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that enhouses us all.” – The truth of this and feeling our part of the whole means you can’t deny the enormous responsibility that we have to be all that we are designed to be. I have come to understand that it is no burden that I carry in being responsible – that being responsible is actually the most supportive thing possible for me to be doing. My body comes alive, I feel like I have a purpose to life and that it is actually really enjoyable. That to be responsible means being me. So why fight it?
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” It is crazy. Why do we do it? This single sentence would change the world if it was taught to everyone from birth.
I agree Jinya, this little sentence would change the world if it was taught to everyone from birth. Imagine the future where this will be taught, how more vital we as a human species will be because we do not spend our energy on resisting the inevitable and what will we be capable of when we will be in the full acceptance of the love we represent with all of us.
Incredible this is that we are prepared to expend enormous stores of energy to fight our very nature and natural way – ‘Love’ – when ironically living the love we are replenishes us and energises us.
Wow Liane having just read your stupendous article again, what I got this time more than before was how you really convey the fact that we are subject to the All constantly. I got to feel myself blink out a couple of times whilst re reading it and disappear into the greater whole. Superbly crafted, really beautiful writing.
Liane, this sentence is utterly divine: “Our bodies are not prisons made of flesh, far from it. Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.”
Absolutely divine words and ones that will change the world.
For Humanity to see ourselves beyond a physical existence and connect to the grandness of all that we are, will enable true brotherhood, unity and Love to be.
‘We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that enhouses us all.’ Thank you Serge Benhayon for sharing this truth and offering many a way back home and choice to live fully appreciating who we truly are.
Even if I seem to like my body I understood the signs competely wrong. My body was very tough and I did lots of sports. I thought my body likes this. In truth I was exhausted, I was not so well, but through the hardness in my body I thought everything is fine and the ‘ not so well ‘ symptoms have nothing to do with my body. Only when I got seriously ill I had to listen to my body. So in truth I did not like my body, but only used it for functioning. How different is it to truly care for it in a deeply respectful and loving way?
I’ve never liked my body when it was flat, tired, exhausted, showing pains, etc. Immediately I then went into overwhelm or denial. Rather than taking the time to honour and be appreciative to my body as in showing me where I’ve been or am. I am learning that my body’s only supporting me and is always willing to communicate with me. Long before any physical pain arises. And as I listen a lot more these days, without being with my body and listening to it, I am not able to enjoy all the wonders that my body’s showing and revealing when it is aligned to the body of Our God. With wonders I mean the wonders about myself, but also about others, nature and the meta-physical. We might think that we’re alone at times, but we’re not! We’re completely surrounded by love. From every angle. But – as True love does – it sits there and respects the choices of us whether to connect to it or not. Amazing science. Amazing. Thank you body, thank you body of God.
What I got so clearly from reading your blog today Liane is how so many of us view our bodies as unsafe/unreliable/can turn on us at anytime and as they are also the holder of our every choice, they also offer a level of reflection many people are not prepared to look at. These would be major reasons why we don’t want to spend any time in there – which is such a travesty when you connect to what our bodies actually do offer us.
Yes Sarah, we in general put so much emphasis on the ‘power of the mind’ and leave our body as sloppy second best when in reality our body is the greatest marker of truth that we have and is deeply intelligent. Thank goodness Serge Benhayon presents the truth about our body and shows that there is another way, that our mind alone is not the answer.
This is true Fiona as I have been experiencing this emphasis on the ‘power of the mind’ in my own life when in the company of another especially over the past few months… I hadn’t clocked it in full until last night as I reflected on the conversation we had only yesterday. It made me ponder on how we have been enticed into this false illusion that the mind is the answer to our woes when in truth and as Fiona points out, it is our bodies that are our markers of truth.
A great point Sarah. There is no where to hide when one’s body is the record keeper, the sage and the seer.
Every choice we have ever lived is with us at every moment and we can either choose to access the register and learn from our bodies lived wisdom or we can choose the alternative of doing all that we can to shut the body up, dumb it down, disconnect from it or get out of there quick smart with every mode of food, distraction and false solution marketed to us daily to avoid the tension of all that we know yet dare not feel or take responsibility for.
That is so true Sarah, I have certainly felt this, my body was forever showing me how I had been living in disregard, but rather than take responsibility for this (which would have been inconvenient to my comfort and lifestyle) I chose to blame my body as being unreliable and something that could break down at any given moment. It feels so different to respect the beautiful messages my body gives me and to lovingly respond to what is presented.
That is so true what you are saying Sarah. For many people their own body is the enemy, because they don’t want to feel what is in the body – all the past choices. If they would do it, then they have to take responsibility for all past actions and that is not so easy for a lot of people. When they start to feel, they will feel both, the love they are and all the hurts as well.
I loved this line, the fact is most of humanity view their bodies as ‘prisons made of flesh’, I know as a teenager when I was quite unwell for a few years I felt like I was imprisoned and dreamed of a new body, it was so far away from the truth our bodies can present us, which is ‘Heaven made visible.’ Our bodies can be such awesome vehicles for divinity.
“Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” This is so true, holding back our love for self and others causes more pain in the body than letting go and expressing who we truly are, that is abundance of love.
So many great lines in this blog! One is calling me today, ‘ We allow our breath to sync to the rhythm of Nature, the breath of God – the All of Us – and the panic subsides’. Some weeks ago I had to have a blood test. It was only the 2nd or third one I have ever had in this life, so I am inexperienced with it. I woke up early that morning and my whole body began to uncontrollably shake in nervousness. I didn’t know what to do, but then I chose to fully inhabit my body and to take myself through the esoteric yoga routine. Within less than a minute my body had stopped shaking, surrendering and firing up, ready to go fully to the blood test . . . which ended up not hurting at all. It was an everyday miracle.
‘It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.’ This is a brilliant quote – one that should go viral, become a bumper sticker and a slogan for every business!
Yeah it makes a lot of sense Elodie, if we really stop and think about.
And one that we can all relate to. How draining it is to try to go against the flow of life.
Do we fight or do we flow is the question. Thank you Lianne.
So lovely to read your blog again Liane and these words ‘We allow our breath to sync to the rhythm of Nature, the breath of God – the All of Us – and the panic subsides’ and reconnecting to this truth brings with it a sense that we are at home where we belong. When we surrender to the breath of God we can allow all that is not God to dissipate and we can then feel our magnificence, and within that, that we are a part of the greater whole that is the Universe, and the amazing space that offers us to expand within infinity.
Absolutely Susan. Surrendering to God and the All, expands our sphere and the Universe for all. We can’t but think big for we are a grand part of the absolute all.
“Holding back that beauty and that Divine expression is a pain far greater than what can be physically inflicted on the body and that physical pain serves as a marker for the love that we hold back.” I could never understand why I felt such agonising pain within myself when my life on the surface appeared to be a ‘good’ one. Understanding that this pain was the pain of having abandoned myself from childhood and from holding back from expressing myself in full was the start of being able to heal. I no longer feel like an alien in my own body.
I agree – the pain of not living in line with our innate divinity is deeper than any physical pain that I’ve experienced. And having the understanding of why it is there really does help shine a light on it and make it simpler to resolve.
I agree Fiona, knowing that it is there in the first place really does support the way back and actually dealing with the reason why it is this way in the first place.
This is gorgeous Lucy. Beautifully said and I absolutely concur 100%.
I so agree with you Lucy, understanding that it was not as much what happened to me as a child, although there are aspects of my childhood that hurt but what deeply hurt, more than anything else, was abandoning the gorgeous precious little girl that I was. It feels so healing to re-develop the knowing that the preciousness was always there and the love that I am has never left and the more I feel this the more I can live that love and reflect to others that we are all this, equally so.
If each and every one of us has a purpose to be on this planet and we have a human body to cary out that purpose, it is time to get on with it. The body can used to delay our path or to accelerate it. When the truth is so plain to see, why would anyone want to delay? I am only starting to understand the arrogance of the human spirit that thinks it is IT and that all life is about IT’s pursuit of satisfaction (even if that means not living a satisfying life), which is always separate to our Divine purpose.
Good point Jinya. We often treat our body with disdain, at the mercy of the spirit’s every whim and want and desire – at the body’s great expense. If Humanity were to grasp the enormous blessing that our body is to enhouse our Soul, serve Humanity and embody the Love we are, we may treat it with respect, revere it, honour its every whisper of wisdom and appreciate our body’s true purpose in relation to the all. We may consider the body the divine instrument it is, rather than a means to get around in.
Liane, it is wonderful to be reminded of the bigger picture and how precious our bodies are, ‘We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that enhouses us all.’ Wow this is gorgeous to read.
So from what Liane says, illness and disease are a resistance to living in a loving manner, accepting that we are Universal beings, made to act with love for ourselves and naturally all those around us in accordance with a Universal order. We need a new approach to the illness and disease that is globally taking hold. And it makes a lot of sense that we look inwardly and see if the choices we have made and the lives we have set up for ourselves are truly healthy or just accepted norms that are far removed from the lifestyle we need if we are to live with vitality and abundant energy in this Universal order we are undeniably a part of.
Absolutely Doug, and I’m sure everybody on this planet actually does want Harmony in their lives. But we have lost our connection to that inner quality, which comes from first knowing who we are and choosing to be all of us, in connection with each other.
I love talking about God, Sacredness, Rituals & Rhythms, Nature and ALL of us. Your connection to all this Liane is very alive. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Donna I totally agree it is such a Joy to talk about God and the ways that support this connection. I remember going to RE (Religious Education) studies at school and the only thing I ever felt when talking about God who was this higher source and more powerful being than I was – only ever guilt and the unattainable. Realising with the teachings that Serge Benhayon presents, I got to feel and understand that God is in everything that I do, it’s merely a connection with Him. This quality is exquisite and much Joy is had. God is Everything.
I agree Donna; I LOVE cycles and talking about rituals and sacredness, and I find it interesting how much particularly the latter two words have been bastardised to come across to many as something ‘weird and religious’ considering how key they are to building a good rhythm and relationship with ourselves.
That’s right Susie, rituals and sacredness are words that have been seriously misused when in fact all that they describe is a very, very natural way to live life.
I agree Susie. So many words have been reinterpreted and bastardised to impede the relationship with our soul, with God and each other.
I agree Donna. Because Liane ‘walks her talk’ the words she speaks here are not dead words – they have an energy that inspires us to connect deeply with what she is saying and once we connect within the same wisdom is available to us though we may express it in a different way which will speak to some more than others.This is why we all need to share and not hold back.
True Dean, rituals and sacredness respect the natural order of life and as such demonstrate to us a harmonious way of living that is simple and without mystery, mystique or cloak or cauldron. Simplicity that expands our world and brings meaning and purpose to our lives.
Beautifully said Deborah.
“my body did not feel like a safe place to be”. Coming back to my body and learning that it is the strongest marker of how I really am, has allowed me to feel so much more trusting and appreciative of this wonder-full body. Because of this, I now respect and understand myself in a very different way than I used to. Before an energetic understanding of anatomy and physiology my relationship with my body was very different, in fact I would ignore and blame my body for break down and illness, rather than look at the choices I had been making.
Your story feels pretty common place rosannabianchini. I’ve done the same, feeling like I’ve been ripped off over the years having a body that is so often in pain. I too, however, understand now that it is a result of the choices I make. I choose the struggle over being love, I choose to overide what my body tells me. It’s a force of a habit, but one that with a little patience can be broken down. A work in progress for me.
I have found that it is so important to bring understanding to the reasons I have made choices that hurt my body. It has taken me ages to see that the block of chocolate was the end result of an emotional state I allowed. I couldn’t begin to truly choose foods that were nurturing until I began to address the reasons I made these choices in the first place.
Rosannabianchini, that’s a great contribution to humanity, for if we all took responsibility for the choices we are making we could very easily reduce the rise in health problems that are putting such a burden on our health system. Not only that, we would find the world to be a much more harmonious place for us all to live.
Well said rosannabianchini, it is only until we have the understanding of what we experience in our bodies is the result of our choices that we start to take responsibility of the quality of choices that we make in life.
For me it has been a process of allowing more of the Love and accepting that this is how we are naturally. Even to the point where I know this to be true and endless but I’m not to sure what to do with it. Because it feels so incredible and big that it is so different to how I have been living. The other element to this is I can feel this with everyone and that by me expressing this Love in full I am actually allowing the Love of all in. This has been a massive revelation for me.
You make a great point here Natalie about how allowing more love feels very different to how we have been living. This is true for many of us, and as we consider the state of the world and the lack of love that is offered to us, it is so amazing to know that there are people who are choosing to let in more love in the true sense of the word.
We often think that we need to be loved or feel love before we will allow ourselves to love, yet as I can also feel now its about holding another in love and expressing that love in full. What you’ve shared Natalie helps me deepen this in that by expressing love in full we then allow love in from all. Thank you.
I can so relate to what you are saying Natalie, as we live accepting the love that we are and the love that we all are equally the world feels very different. Each time I allow this love and say yes to it rather than resist the there is a flow, the rest of the time when I say no and fight, the consequences feel yuck and like trudging through mud.
“Our bodies are Heaven made visible”
I am loving how this feels in my body when I read this. It changes everything. Our bodies are no longer the enemy and they don’t let us down. They are a total reflection of how we have lived and the choices we have made but they are also perfection in how they express for the messages are all there – gifts from God, opportunities to make different choices. What more could we ask for?
Very beautiful Anne and Liane.
“Our bodies are Heaven made visible” is a revelation and a truth I am beginning to feel within.
I agree Anne and Liane, our bodies are a confirmation of heaven if we choose to understand and to read its language.
I agree Kerstin, and this simple truth denotes how simple life can be if chosen.
Well said Anne! My whole body said thank you when I read this. I can instantly connect to the loveliness of my body and see it for the incredible support it is.
Gorgeous Anne, our bodies shows to the detail every choice we have made and in realising this, what used to be bad or a nuisance now becomes a gift from God, a vehicle that has its autopilot set for the shortest way home and has an alarm going off every time we stray from this route.
Anne the feeling in the body you speak of is the most beautiful gift! Once we feel this beautiful feeling and keep it as a marker it’s hard not to notice the after effects of and disconnection and disregard, the body is certainly very clear in reflecting our choices.
As I become more aware of my relationship with my body, with my soul and God, there is less and less space in which the arrogance of my spirit is able to have its way. I can feel the pain much more acutely in my body when I allow myself to give in to it’s games.
After reading your comment I could see a magnificent set of clouds through my attic window and I felt the amazing connection with my body.The more I tuned into my wonder-full body and felt the love that resides within the more I could feel the force of my spirit drawing up pictures and trying to pull me away. I realize that which way I choose is entirely up to me.
“Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” – This certainly sums up what we all face as society, humanity. We are love yet we do everything but live from, enjoy being and express that love. However,as I’ve come to understand, it’s simply a choice to re-connect and in that to start to address and heal as we express from our love and not our lack of connection to our love.
This sentence stood out for me too and when we want to listen, our bodies are there, always showing us the next step.
Holding back who we are hurts, not only us, but all those around us and the world we inhabit, whereas living our truth and reflecting our grandness to all has the potential to heal in so many different ways. I chose to hold me back for so long with disastrous consequences, but now there is only one choice for me, and that is the choice of love.
Well said Ingrid. When we hold back it does indeed affect everyone around us; family, friends, those who we meet on the street, at work – everywhere! Instead of being all we can be with them; someone who is content and loving, we show that being contracted and held back is the ‘norm’.
Absolutely Susie. When we hold back from lovingly expressing, we follow a ‘Polite-ness Guide for the Lonely Planet’, or a ‘How to not makes waves on the Lonely Planet’ or whatever guide a mind has dreamt up that isn’t the mind of God.
Love it Lyndy. We are indeed a lonely planet when we ignore our constellation with the All. Ironically, not wanting to makes waves creates even bigger waves…such is the force required to resist our love.
Oh I love the way you have expanded the ‘not wanting to make waves creates even bigger waves’ part Liane. The whole consciousness of ‘defence’ that we have gone for as a race is entirely ironic and counter-productive! Awareness and learning to read the signs is crucial – if we hear ourselves going ‘don’t want to make waves’ we can immediately know that in fact more waves is what will happen! Eventually a tsunami. Let’s choose observation and Love.
This is true Susie. I did this with my family and it did not serve them or me. I now choose to show all of me, regardless or whether I am accepted or not.
This highlights the need for brotherhood and how this supports each and every one of us.
How apt Liane and Lyndy.
We then curse the waves, the tsunami’s and the fall out from our loveless expression, we curse the holding back and the reactions of those around us, the lack of care, brotherhood and human decency rather than considering our part in the all and what is reflected back to us, rather than bring our all to this all, expressing our Love in full and grounding the Universal Love we are with our every step and breath.
Loving these comments here about the Lonely Planet and making waves and holding back. Great point to realise that we are causing more disturbance by holding back who we are than we believe we are avoiding. For a long time I was under the belief that if I was guarded, withdrawn, defensive and closed down then I was not harming anyone else other than myself. But this is simply not true and I am realising more and more that holding back and withdrawing is actually a strong controlling force that I wield no differently to anger or attack or obvious aggression.
So poignant Andrew. I love that you have expressed about the fact that holding back and withdrawing is a strong controlling force that is wielded no differently to anger or obvious aggression. it seems less harmful than the obvious ‘attack’mode but in fact is cut from the same fabric. in the last few months holding back and controlling has been standing out to me like eyes on stalks! It is so clear to feel and see when anyone is employing such a weapon.
Yes Susie, it is like as if we all live under water and every single move I make, it affects everybody around me. That is huge, especially the responsibility which comes with that.
I held back for far too long too Ingrid and agree it doesn’t work. As Susie said, it affects everyone around us. Being all we can be works for all.
Yes, it is powerful to understand how much the effect of holding back in life can have on those around us. Therefore being a responsible person is not just about making mature choices, but also learning to live in such a way that we become a support and and an inspiration to other people in our lives.
Agreed Lorraine. Holding back does affect not only us but everyone we hold back from. We have a very real responsibility to share with others what we know and what feels true or not true, and by not doing so means they may never have the opportunity again to know that, and therefore to make a different choice about how they may think, or live their lives.
Lorraine it is actually quite incredible how ‘being all we can be works for all’. I was trepidatious at first about speaking up at home, but have been surprised how rather than make home life more difficult, it has made home life more harmonious and the changes keep happening!
I agree Lorraine, holding back serves no one. More and more these days I am feeling how important it is to take responsibility for how I am and what I am reflecting to others. Great topic Liane.
I agree that we are all connected and naturally our holding back, as too our living the Love we are, will be felt by all around us – this demonstrates well the responsibility we all hold for the sphere, planet and universe in which we live and all that we put out.
We consider the physical damage of pollution to the environment but do we stop and consider the quality of thoughts we have, the actions we carry out and the ill-energy we may operate in and with every moment of the day and what effect such energetic pollution is having on the world at large and on the cosmos?
This is indeed revelatory Andrew and Lyndy – that holding back and withdrawing is a strong controlling force and that how we live affects all others, never are we in isolation to the whole. The aggressor and bully does not hide their control of others and need to get their way and change another’s behaviour and yet holding back and withdrawing achieves the same puppetry over another in a far more covert and deceptive fashion, donning a fabric of innocence whilst weaving a tapestry of manipulation.
Absolutely Deborah. And this seeming ‘good’, this seeming ‘innocence’ has been the greatest trick to ensnare those who know the law of love but have not lived the embodiment of it.
This is great to hear Ingrid and denotes the very importance of responsibly and integrity, something that I am taking much more seriously as a priority.
Ingrid, I am familiar with the disastrous consequences of holding back. My life was full of its fair share of disasters, but as I choose to be more of me and not hold back, doors are opening and life seems to be unfolding in a way that I could never have imagined.
This is an amazing way to see our bodies, as vessels of heaven rather than vehicles of pain and suffering. This alone would change everything if we saw ourselves and thus our bodies in this way.
It certainly is Joshua, and immediately brings to the fore a much deeper responsibility to how I treat my body.
True – the fight or flow that is spoken of. With Heaven, or in isolation within Heaven, fighting the reflection we cannot stop.
I agree Joshua, this would change the way we are will ourselves and others in a way that is much needed.
From ‘grin and bear it’ to ‘love living in it’ – relationships with our bodies turned around alongside the inspiring teachings of Universal Medicine and the lived evidence in many students of the Way of the Livingness. As fight turns to flow, miracles occur.
Dear Matilda,
“As fight turns to flow, miracles appear.”
I love this sentence, there is no ounce of fight in my essence, just a feeling of who I am and a clear understanding of what I am doing that is not in line with who I am. Letting go of these ways of being, little by little, is bringing flow back into my life and is allowing me to feel that there is much more beauty yet to be lived in full in my life.
Liane,
I am back again.
It is not just the words that you have shared here, but the essence from where they came.
This writing holds us and asks us to consider living from our glory.
Yes we are absolutely living inside the body of God, and when we “live like a fish in an ocean and are not getting wet,” as presented by Serge Benhayon, we feel the love that surrounds us.
‘My whole life I have felt trapped in my body’. Wouldn’t it be awesome if we had more conversations like this, meaning, spoke what was really going on for us without being judged or ridiculed, but instead discussed and expanded on. When I was younger I had so much going on for me similar to this, but I had no one I could talk to about it. If I had Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine in my life then, I know it would have been completely different from the loveless, lost, disregarding and lonely (inside) life I led. There is so much we don’t talk about or express that we definitely should. I now have a deeper understanding, knowing and connection with myself, life, the Universe and where I am going; and every day more and more unfolds. There is so much we don’t talk about that needs expressing.
‘There is so much we don’t talk about that needs expressing.’ I agree, Vicky, and it’s lovely being able to meet with people where these things can be discussed.
Until recent years I would have scoffed at anyone talking about having a body of God. Religion and all its dogma, indiscretions and hypocrisy had turned me away from God. At the same time I have always known there is something more to life than just my physical body. So now, having lived the last decade developing a connection to myself, I can say unequivocally, God is with me and my body is indeed a body of God, and so is everyone else’s.
I have always been fascinated with the intricate workings of the human body and how every part depends on another part to flow efficiently. It is been since meeting Serge Benhayon and up til now that I am much more fully understanding the absolute necessity of our body being IT and how important my relationship and care for it is when being able to express the love of God and walk in heaven on earth. “Our bodies are not prisons made of flesh, far from it. Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.” Thank you for a great blog.
Holding back who we are, that is our divine expression of love, is the cause of much pain, sadness and the suffering of life. Appreciation and our livingness is the way for us all to be expressing our love fully in every moment with our presence and heavenly flow. Beautiful sharing, thank you.
Yes we are Sally and by not holding back our natural beauty and love we can’t hold this back. Surrender, surrender, surrender and accept, accept, accept the simple truth that we are Sons of God and we are a part of this universe.
This is a big Ouch for us all…”Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love” … our health is our choice and our responsibility.
“Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.” Love these words Liane – the simplicity they offer, and the choice is ours. How gorgeous to feel and appreciate ‘our bodies are Heaven made visible’!
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” Powerful words, and yet so many of us have fought against the natural pull of love for eons – we all know love deep down inside so why would we resist something so magnificent?
Liane, reading your blog again today reminded me anew that we have everything we need, we have a body available and ready to express the heaven and love we are, and as you say we have a choice here, do we fight it or do we flow. There is such a grace in what we have and you capture it for us here, we are held in an enormous body of love forever gravitating towards and emanating that love, we just have to let go, not in any sense of give up, but in the knowing that we are held, we are love and it’s all there; our part is to express that love in our body, to have our body be in line with that love. We are angels and we can sing.
“We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that enhouses us all.”, so beautifully shared Rachel. When we connect to the truth of this, we can feel the importance of taking care of ourselves, as we have great responsibility as our body belongs to the Universe/God, we have only borrowed as a vehicle of expression for the duration we are here on earth.
The more letting go I do and the more I simply let my body be, the more I can feel that my body is actually the body of God. When I drop tension, issues or ways of being that have been holding me in identification, there is then more space in my body for God.
The more I let go and the more I relinquish the struggle, the more God (who has been waiting patiently) gets to spread out and fill the space. Whilst there is incredulity about having chosen to struggle so, the next step is touched by inspiration.
Being in a body of love and not expressing it really is the root cause of all illness and disease . The amount we all hold back our love from ourselves let alone everybody else is a world dilemma and it is Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine that is bringing this truth to the world and opening up the way for us all to live the love we all are. A great blog and a great inspiration thank you.
It is easy to see a lack of love in the world and then choose to hold back expressing the love we naturally feel, as I have done. Feeling that either the world does not deserve the love or the fear that it will be rejected is too strong. Yet more and more I feel the immense love I have and that I am and how it is criminal to not share this, if we hold onto love then we suffocate ourselves and everyone loses out.
Beautifully said Stephen. We don’t own Love – it’s there to share.
I agree Stephen. The more of my love I can feel, the more responsibility I feel in sharing it. It’s not a burdensome responsibility but is born of feeling joyful and the power of healing that we all have when connected to it.
To keep love for ourselves is to deny the very expression of love which an only ever be for all equally.
Amazing to realise that all illness and disease starts from the dis-ease that we feel in trying to resist the love we already are.
Society has us searching for love from a very young age. What a turn around to say – you are already that love, and discarding all that is not that will inevitably show you this is true.
What you shared in your first paragraph about fighting the body is very familiar to me as well. As this pattern is so deeply ingrained, it takes patience to do the steps needed to reimprint self care, self nurturing and selflove into my body.
During attending a recent workshop presented by Serge Benhayon I realized the importance of the body. It’s been presented many, many, many times before but now I have allowed myself to see the full picture. That through my body and FEELING my body is the only way to a) get to know myself better and b) being able to feel my hurts in order to let them go. I’ve been forever been a man that is very dedicated to love and truth, but dealing with my hurts is not my favourite ‘hobby’ so to speak. But there’s no other way. Instead of running away from my body I am now accepting slowly that my body is my personal gift. Rather than an enemy.
Beautiful Floris
What you share Floris, resonates deeply in me. I also stopped running away from me and I start to feel my body and the more I get to know my body, the more I get to know life.
If it is our bodies that connect us to the pulse of heaven, then it is crazy that we do not treat them with more delicacy and respect, and no wonder that we have forgotten heaven if the true pathway to God is to love and appreciate yourself to the smallest of details.
Yes Adam, Our Love, down to the tiniest detail, is Heaven’s Stairway.
Much of existing religion has taken us so far away from the power that we are, so that we cannot even know that our body does indeed connect us to heaven. True religion has us connect to our bodies, honouring the essence we are inside, and thus the care and respect for our bodies is easier.
I agree Heather – until The Way of the Livingness, the religions I had experienced felt like they had become more of a metaphorical, intellectual exercise. We can easily say “the kingdom of Heaven is within me” but what does that mean? The Way of the Livingness offers us the opportunity to feel through the practicality and reality of our bodies, bringing religion down from our heads and into our hearts.
And that pulse of heaven in our bodies is always there, always. As I drop my shoulders, open a door gently, greet someone with my eyes, observe my toe tips as I walk, I can feel it. As I respond in awareness it pulses through my body and beyond.
Absolutely Liane, when we let our body be like the ocean of love we live in, all the drops join together to form a harmonious flow that then magnetically pulls everyone to an equal truth. The tools to live a life that will flow and not feel the pressure of stress and anxiety can be studied on the, Understanding Anxiety in Men – ONLINE COURSE

I love the intricate powerful order with which the whole of the universe works and that includes our bodies. I have been amazed and at awe when studying our bodies and also aspects of the natural world and the cosmos. Yet there has been a part of me that has wanted to reject my body, I have been kind of ‘indignant’ that I was stuck in a body that was so animalistic in the way we were eating, having sex, reacting to things and I certainly did not appreciate us going to the loo! I experienced myself as more divine than my experience of these activities. Presentations of Serge Benhayon have brought a greater understanding and appreciation of my body. Now I realise that it is my responsibility to live the divine through my body in the way I eat, the way I make love, the way I respond to life, the way I walk, the way I interact. Whether it lives an animalistic expression or the divine nature that is our true essence, it is my own choice.
“Whether we accept it or not, our bodies are forever responding to the Universe that we are an innate part of, no different to the way our oceans respond to the moon or our trees respond to the wind. So, how do we respond to this call – do we fight, or do we flow? ” Beautifully said Liane. I am really beginning to learn how futile it is to resist love. I abandoned my body and God, to pursue a life that was loveless, but ticked the boxes as far as getting what I thought was everything I wanted out of life. To stop resisting what is so natural within us all, has been the best choice I have made for a very long time.
Just re-reading part of this incredible blog, I realise how I never once associated myself with my body. I was a bit interested in how it works but not to any detail really.
Enter Serge Benhayon who takes care of his body to the endth degree and bingo I was so inspired I wanted to learn and understand more. That was 2005.
I studied Anatomy and Physiology and learnt heaps and then I learned even more from attending Serge Benhayon presentations, workshops and courses. I got every angle and every answer about what this amazing body is all about and I understand it in my own way that my particles can be dense and squashed up by the way I choose to live or they can have space and flow.
My body today supports me to do what I do and it has to be number 1. My relationship to myself and how I choose to take care of me is super important. My commitment and consistency has given me a strong foundation and yes I might eat the wrong food but I know quickly the consequences so I have a choice to not do that again. I am forever learning and I no longer waste time giving myself a hard time or beating myself up about anything I do or say.
I agree Bina. The relationship I have with my body dictates the quality of relationship I have with everyone in the world.
‘Fight’ or ‘Flow’ – it takes more effort to resist Love than be Love… This always shows us we have a choice, and one is simple exquisite and an absolute Joy, the other is hard work, full of tension and heavy. I know which one I prefer.
So true Esther, our bodies are already aligned, it is our head, which thinks, it can do things on its own – our mind is very arrogant and can easily override the signals of the body.
I never tire of being reminded that our bodies are so much more than just physical flesh, one of my favourite facts is that we are made up of the same components stars are, this makes sense if you consider quantum physics shows us our particles are from all over the universe and we all share and swap them, which means we are all made of the same magic as the universe.
A wonderful sharing about the body Liane, awesome. We can’t honor our body enough, our body is the marker of truth and the more we listen, the more we discover life and nature.
I am always amazed by how much more there is to feel and be aware of when we listen to our body more.
“Thus, the choice to ‘fight’ or ‘flow’ is ours to make, in every single moment and with every given breath.” It’s a fascinating statement – it’s not fatalistic in any way, but provides a very clear nutshell of the fact that there is a divine order, and we then choose in every moment whether to feel that, or resist it.
What a pleasure it is to choose flow and not fight, a new way of living. This one thing alone could completely transform the world.
” We are love and if we choose to not live this love, then we invite a whole manner of illness and dis-ease into our bodies simply because it takes more energy to resist love than to be it”. This is the medicine of the future. It asks us to be accountable for our wayward choices to not be the love that we are and it is universal in its application.
‘Universal in its application’, ‘the medicine of the future’, choosing to get back into our own driving seats and taking responsibility for the choices we make. My body (‘this fleshy vehicle’) is my guide and great teacher.
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.”- I am just coming to realise this.
I too have fought deeply connecting to my body all my life believing that it is not safe, hence I had abandoned it. But this left me being in constant reaction to outside situations and I was always hypersensitive to anyone speaking to me and in any environment. I lived with constant nervous anxiety. This has been very exhausting and depleting in my body. Thanks to Serge Benhayon and the gentle breath meditation I commenced reconnecting to the divine loving person that I am.
I now feel and know that we come from love, and so I choose love in service.
Reading this blog made me deeply appreciate my body and how patiently it has been with me showing me every moment what is true and what is not. How often I don’t like my heavy body! Now after a day full of me and my love I feel what it was telling me, that I am so much more than this and that I have to claim and live this love in every moment. Living any less will leave me feeling heavy, sleepy, cold and bloated. We are here really to live this love until this love is a reality for all.
I find this too Lieke. Just yesterday I was in a lesson where everyone around me was being very loud, and there was lots of chaos and yelling… Instead of holding myself steady and choosing not to get involved, I joined in with all the noise and afterwards had an awful headache – which is just one example of how immediate the response is from my body when I disregard my feelings/body.
This is beautifully said Lieke, and so relatable.It is pretty simple really, live love and feel amazing, or not.
I totally get this too Lieke, I don’t like the heaviness I feel in my body when I get affected by life at all, living less than the total love and grace and beauty we know is inside us results in such immediate heaviness!
Very much so Meg. The interesting thing is that I sometimes feel it is a ‘curse’ that my body feels so heavy while it is actually a grace and blessing, telling me I am so much more than the harsh way of life I accepted before.
Totally, our bodies offer us so much grace in their honesty, and so much support in finding a different way forward. #totalblessing 🙂
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it”. We can use our bodies to live love or resist it. Even though the inner compass is constantly pointing true north to love, we can override it, which creates all the ill health we have in the our bodies and our households and society. The answer is simple, but it does require a steadfast commitment to dealing with whatever stands in the way of making loving choices.
I am re reading your blog tonight Liane,
It is so rich with so much truth, but tonight the part that stands out for me is this sentence. “Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.” This truth is the mightiest of truths and yet it has in the past seemed too hard and out of reach for a normal human being like myself. Now I feel deeply that I am a normal human being, and in being this, the natural way to live by is to choose my true self and to express this truth to the world.
‘We allow our breath to sync to the rhythm of Nature, the breath of God – the All of Us’. If we are out of rhythm, we lose our connection to ourselves, God and everyone. So we turn on each other and create corruption and wars. It’s like trying to swim against the current, it’s exhausting and you can’t keep it up. However if you are in rhythm then you just flow like a feather in the gentle breeze and you are taken exactly to where you are meant to be.
Oh wow what a great blog Liane. It was like after every sentence my fire sparked just that little bit more.
Liane your insights and wisdom are fantabulous to read, and I agree, every sentence an opening for each of us to see more of who we are, and take that glory out into the world.
Beautifully said Simon, this blog is exactly that, a shining light – it’s not often we hear words that ring so true to the body “We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that enhouses us all.”
“Our bodies are not prisons made of flesh, far from it. Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.” This is such a profound observation, Liane, in this consumer world where we are bombarded with advertising and propaganda to be other than who we are naturally
The fact that our particles belong to the Universe and we answer to that call and how we respond to this call whether we fight it or flow with it is entirely up to the choices we make. This deems us responsible for our health and well being as if we fight it this takes loads of energy and eventually results in illness and disease, if we flow with it harmony resides. I love how you so clearly express how we are responsible for all that we create or co-create.
It is very empowering to know that we are fully responsible for all that we create and co-create as this means that we have the power to make true change so long as we know the difference between true change and not.
This is such a beautiful blog, our bodies are part of the universe. And I can feel how depleting it is to not honour this and live our truth in those bodies of love.
Makes so much sense Liane given we are already love then we need to look at all the ways we are creating stuff to get in the way of not being and living that love on earth.
I agree marylouisemyers, taking responsibility and dealing with what we are creating to avoid all that we are is every thing to be and live the beacons of light that we innately are.
Whilst we try and control the body we will always experience discomfort to some extent and perhaps even have difficulties with it. When we align to the fact that our bodies are from heaven, our particles are part of the whole, our relationship with our flesh and blood changes. The choices that we make for our body become about deeply supporting and nurturing ourselves, knowing that we are being responsible for housing the soul here on earth.
Gorgeous Donna, well said. That is very true; no matter how much we try to control the body – make it do things without considering what is natural for us individually – we will experience a tension. If you took a random sample of 100 people from a town, and told them all to live the same – exercise the same, eat the same, sleep the same etc. it just wouldn’t work! When we force or manipulate the body into doing things that aren’t natural we often eventually end up with injuries or illness and disease.
I agree Susie, the body is not for function and will expose itself as this is how it is used. Joyfully enjoying our bodies and expressing ourselves in all that we do is something that naturally would change our relationship with our bodies.
After reading your blog Liane I feel like singing from the rooftops “that I live in the body of God” ! Thank you for sharing.
I love the way you have explained how our bodies respond to the universe, like oceans respond to the moon. this is such an important concept. Illness then is a huge clearing of anything standing in the way of the pull we can feel to return to our eternal glory within, which has never left us, no matter how much we think we resist it.
Beautifully said Felicity,
‘Illness then is a huge clearing of anything standing in the way of the pull we can feel to return to our eternal glory within, which has never left us, no matter how much we think we resist it.’
Our eternal Glory within, once upon a time I would have scoffed at such a line of writing, let alone allow myself to feel the absolute truth of it. No longer, this is deeply felt inside of me now, encouraging me to make choices that allow me to live from it in full, in time. As I am responding to your comment Felicity I can feel myself surrendering even deeper into my body, as the sense of living from my glory is there inside. I cannot live from it in any other way than to surrender to it.
Surrendering has become a daily focus, it is a necessary part of coming together with myself and my essence and it allows for much wisdom. If we were taught this as children we would all live very different lives and we may not have the illness and disease we have today.
Your blog Liane is such a succinct and true account of what life here on earth is like, in varying degrees, for all of us.
I just love the way you express; with such knowledge and a deep inner wisdom.
“let go of the reins that we are gripping for dear life and allow ourselves to follow the impulses that naturally pulse forth from this our greater body. We allow our breath to sync to the rhythm of Nature, the breath of God – the All of Us – and the panic subsides”. What a divine blessing.
With deep appreciation to you Liane.
It is very simple when we reject our bodies in whatever shape or form, we hurt our bodies and it feels awful to live in this body. BUT when we allow our bodies to connect to love, our bodies change, we start to feel a yumminess, positivity to life, and the energy to live with a quality…all because of living lovingly.
‘Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.’
“We often blame love for getting hurt when in fact it is not living in love. Our whole body is designed to live the expression of love of God. When you think about it, we are made of the same stuff as universes, when you bring it down to the minutest of particles…there is an intelligence that makes this all work just as our bodies. Thus we live in a kingly body, body of God, yet we do not treat and live in such grandness in these bodies of ours.”
So true Karoline I love your comment, I feel the lack of responsibility for my choices as I read it. Living in a body of God on this earth comes with a responsibility to humanity to live, emanate reflect and express the love I truly am.
This is a powerful statement,
‘Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.’
We often blame love for getting hurt when in fact it is not living in love. Our whole body is designed to live the expression of love of God. When you think about it, we are made of the same stuff as universes, when you bring it down to the minutest of particles…there is an intelligence that makes this all work just as our bodies. Thus we live in a kingly body, body of God, yet we do not treat and live in such grandness in these bodies of ours.
Liane you bring universal truth to the body, making it no less than the universe, this may sound too grand, but it is simple, live the expression of love and you will live in a completely different body to living a life of rejecting the body, thus rejecting you and your magnificence. You have brought a whole new depth to living in the body.
Our bodies are governed by the Universe/God whether we like it or not, so we either align to it and serve the bigger plan towards brotherhood and the true nature of who we are or we fight it and abuse and hurt ourselves on the way.
I love this Francisco – straight up truth that no-one can deny. Any denial is simply part of the struggle and fight.
And this is a very obvious factor when we are in the struggle or fight, and our bodies get very affected when we allow for either.
Beautiful comment Francisco: “Our bodies are governed by the Universe/God whether we like it or not, so we either align to it and serve the bigger plan towards brotherhood and the true nature of who we are or we fight it and abuse and hurt ourselves on the way.” It truly is that simple.
And it’s knowing the difference between the two. For me I know I’m aligning to God when I speak the absolute Truth, regardless of the consequences. This is very different to what I used to believe God wanted for me ‘which was to be nice, polite, play small and not be seen’. More and more I am aware that being truthfull = Love.
That sounds very familiar to me Shevon. I thought the same. But when we hold back, we can’t contribute to the bigger whole, we are basically lost. Now it is the time to shine, to emanate our love.
Truth clear and simple Francisco, thank you.
Thank you Liane, I love the way you have helped us define what true health is by being our own acceptance of the love we naturally are. beautiful
I agree Francisco, it is so refreshing to read such depth when it is where we all come from, and yet the majority avoid it. Perhaps Liane’s ‘no holding back’ approach in sharing her truth and love of GOD will inspire others to do the same. It most certainly has done so for me.
“It takes more energy to resist love than be it” – isn’t it ironic that we are naturally love but we do everything in our power not to be love. Of course this will be exhausting and really is it that ironic? Or is it a complete set-up that our understanding of Love is of the emotional kind. That this resonating deep Love that emanates eternally is never going any where is the most easy, enjoyable and natural thing to be.
“Holding back that beauty and that Divine expression is a pain far greater than what can be physically inflicted on the body”….
What powerful statement, Liane. Such a simple message really but one we continue to resist and our bodies through illness and disease are telling us so. Thank you – a very thought provoking blog.
Such a song you sing Liane Mandalis. An Angel’s touch on this Earth to shine a light for all.
“Whether we accept it or not, our bodies are forever responding to the Universe that we are an innate part of, no different to the way our oceans respond to the moon or our trees respond to the wind.” Who in their right mind would choose to ignore this ancient wisdom?
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” What comes to mind is that we so called intelligent humans often behave like mice running inside the wheel – getting nowhere fast and only stopping to rest when they get exhausted.
There is such beauty and grace in the way you speak about the choice to align with the flow and rhythm of God. To accept that the particles of our bodies are responsive to the universe “no different to the way our oceans respond to the moon or our trees respond to the wind” is to deeply care for our own health. True health is in every choice made in tune with that Divine symphony.
I enjoyed the re-read Liane and the irony of how we may feel trapped in our bodies and yet how when we truly learn to be receptive to them and read them, they can be the gateway to the universe.
Yes Simon, it is actually very profound and do we stop and appreciate our bodies, as you say “..they can be the gateway to the universe’.
Very well said, Simon – ‘When we truly learn to be receptive to [our bodies] and read them, they can be the gateway to the universe.’ If there is love in the quality of our movement and expression we can bring heaven to earth.
Life is so much simpler when we allow ourselves to be who we truly are – no role playing, no relying on what’s outside, but simply allowing what is already there to be felt and lived.
I absolutely agree Carmel, I can feel how complicated I have made life, I have been trying so hard until recently, trying different images, different roles, trying to be liked, etc, etc, and now that I’m being much more true to myself and just allowing myself to be without trying to be a certain way life is so much more simple and lovely and I now can’t quite believe how complicated I have made it in the past.
It makes so much sense Liane the way you have described how our bodies, flesh and particles are part of something so much bigger and therefore will become ill if we do not follow that natural order.
Thanks Liane, I can totally relate to the fight we can have in resistance to what we feel and see the world to be, it makes so much sense, the ancient wisdom /esoteric teachings that we are love and made up of particles of divinity. We only need to realise / honor this and life can take a totally different perspective, as we can be as you say in the flow and not in the fight. Bring on love and the flow, I say!
Thanks, Liane. I love at the end how you bring it back to the quality of every breath we take, which connects us to the love into our bodies, to God and the all.
This sentence is huge “If I choose to not connect too deeply then I won’t get hurt, right? ” It shines a light on the reason why so many of us are not present in our lives. I have lived much of my life this way and am only starting to turn the tide, so I can understand how we can hide inside ourselves to avoid getting hurt. But this hiding has much deeper and more painful repercussions than the hurt that I felt. I have used my sensitivity as a magnet for hurts, so that I have an excuse to keep hiding. Through all the healing that I have gone through and continue to, I’m learning that sensitivity is a gift that allows me to understand deeply my actions and those of others.
I can on many occasions feel the discomfort in my body even in sitting in a chair, and this can be bothersome or it can be a wonderful reflection that my body is showing me that how I have lived is not accepting me, and embracing how I should be living. It is amazing how this reflection is in my face everyday and I have the choice to act on this or not.
Beautifully said Stephen, our bodies are communicating with us all the time through reflection. It shows the intelligence of our bodies, that also have a rhythm and cycles as does the universe, and are we living in synchronicity with life?
“We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that enhouses us all.” When we return to our true and still breath, we feel the breath of the Universe as they are from the same divine source. From here we can feel the huge love we are. Then I know again I am one with God. It’s the only time I know I’m home.
‘the real pain… we all feel… is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love’ The amazing thing is when we name and claim the pain before it is manifested into something more that pain it can disappear like a morning fog when warmed by the sun.
An extraordinary blog, and one which I find myself returning time and again, only to read a sentence or two to remind me of what is important. Thank you Liane.
It is through our body and its movements that we can make visible for everyone what lived love on this planet does look like.
What you’ve shared her Liane is nothing short of life changing for anyone who is living with any form of disharmony, illness or ailment in their body. It makes so much sense that if we are naturally made to express love, and we don’t, then our body (our vehicle) will let us know. And so illness or any symptoms our body gives us, can be seen as a blessing, for it is showing us that we need to make some changes to how we are within in our body.
“Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.” What a diamond and how precious this blog is Liane. Inspiring to feel how connecting to your body allows divine expression to come through. I know it’s there for me and everyone else too.
What a great blog that gives so much clarity on what is really going on. It makes so much sense when Serge Benhayon presents the science of how we are designed and the all encompassing of what we are a part of it – that if we choose to go against the grain that is our natural flow there will be dis-harmony, ill-ness and dis-ease.
I love reading your realisation that the reason you were so depleted and exhausted was because you’d ‘turned my back and walked away from the love that I am, that we all are.’ I very much relate to this and the reaction of realising the world has done this too. But what’s so beautiful is our choice to walk back to who we truly are and reflect to others they too can join this journey back. I know this blog, and all those who are steady on their path of return, are inspiring me to do so too.
Good call Karin how many of us do this (know we are depleted because we have turned away from Love) or how many of us don’t see this?
Liane, there is such wealth in this article, sentence after sentence of truth jump out to greet me! “The reason I was so depleted and exhausted was because I had turned my back and walked away from the love that I am, that we all are.” I have experienced this too – like pretty much every person on the planet. Exhaustion is rife and growing, even in our very young, yet to grow up knowing who we are, the love that we are, is to head for a life of vitality and joy.
Yeah I love it too Rosanna, each sentence and each paragraph shining more and more light. Goes to show what we are capable of when we let go and let it out!
A truly inspiring and heart opening sharing Liane. To not know that we are bodies of Love from the beginning, and not find out until we come across Serge Benhayon’s teachings of the Ancient Wisdom, is something we can now share with the next generation, who in turn can share with their children – the ripple effect is large. I love what Elizabeth Dolan adds as well concerning our particles belonging to God. Life changing!
‘Our bodies are forever responding to the Universe that we are an innate part of…. So, how do we respond to this call – do we fight, or do we flow?’ Going totally against what is natural to us – love – by treating our body as the enemy instead of the vehicle of love which it has been designed to be, is so exhausting. The energy that it takes to hold back the natural flow of love is incredibly draining. It has been amazing to stop to feel that fight or flow and to see that there is nothing I need to do to connect to that flow, but just be me.
Liane, I can feel how true this is, ‘Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.’ I see this with young children and babies, they are so beautiful because they are for the most part living their true selves and I see many students of Universal Medicine who have also chosen to live their true selves, who have this natural beauty that is heavenly.
“Our bodies are not prisons made of flesh, far from it. Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.”. This resonates deeply in me. In my body. I’ve fought my body all my life. Yesterday I realized that whenever I feel an (emotional) reaction that I instantly disconnect from my body and blame it and that what ’caused it’. The person, the thing. Where I’m realizing that I choose to identify with it, rather than observing. Quite a good strategy to avoid taking responsibility and the miracles and beauty within my body. My body’s my gift, offered to be part of the loving Universe. It’s up to me to connect…
‘Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world’ Only the constant remembering of this truth will stop us from abusing our bodies.
This completely sums up how we choose to negate everything we naturally are. For me it was easy – leave my body and inhabit my mind – crawling into every crevice to avoid being with what I perceived to be something that held me back. Where does that view come from when we are born so beautifully?
It must therefore come from someplace prior to birth Lee, from past lives.
For years I thought I was an unhappy person, my partners would lament how I was never happy. It was quite a burden to carry to know I was a miserable person, and that that was just how life was. With the advent of Universal Medicine in my life, all that is thrown out the window as it should be, and more importantly I can see it was simply a belief fed by the absence of connecting with me and with God. Life is now a daily development of love and joyfulness, never perfect, but always developing.
Liane this is a beautiful article and confirms us in all we are, our tenderness, gentleness, divineness and love.The way we all live and the holding back of love is the cause of exhaustion, illness and disease in the world and baffles medicine as it is rising and increasing by the second and is out of control. Knowing that our body is a body of God, of love, and is sacred and to be treasured and honoured brings a true light to how we live in our body and the changes we can all make when we accept this. This is true medicine and true healing and a true way of living. Thank you.
I cannot go past this quote because it is so brilliant and so very true “It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” This gives us a great clue as to why we have the exhaustion plague that we now have happening in the world today. We are fighting ourselves. We are fighting the fact that we want to be open with people and not hold back our love. Surely it is time to give up the fight and heal the hurts that are preventing us from expressing all the love that we are.
And this for me brings the question up: why do we fight?
Why do we waste so much energy and fight for something that we are definitely not?
Yes, I agree Elizabeth, a simple true fact. And as Love is now hugely available to us today, we have to work very hard to not feel it, live it and be it. All the illness and disease is telling us that we have not chosen it before. So are we choosing it from here onwards? Are we choosing to let all the love in that’s on offer and all the love out that we are naturally from and naturally have to give out?
It’s a funny game we play isn’t it – we miss love yet it’s all that we are, we just have to let it out. I’ve been playing the game and still do to some extent. I do however learn a lot from what Serge Benhayon presents. He just breaks down what can seem complex to total simplicity, it’s brilliant.
And what a useless fight that is Elizabeth, choosing to hold onto the hurts and protect ourselves so we won’t get hurt again. It simply just does not work, all we do is continue to create situations which we can reinforce our perceptions. What if we were to focus on that we really come from love and allow people in again.
Dear Liane, I love the simplicity with which you share this amazing truth. Every part of me, every cell, enjoyed reading this blog and I can feel the love you are and the beautiful quality in which you have written for us all.
I felt like what you have shared here Liane is being at one with our body, living from the intelligence of our whole body – not have ‘mind’ and ‘body’ as separate. This feels possible, and something to accept and adopt more, thank you very much for sharing your love. “Thus, the choice to ‘fight’ or ‘flow’ is ours to make, in every single moment and with every given breath.” I love this…it is clear by what you have said that we are not here to do it ‘alone’, but to be at ‘One’ with the Oneness of the Universe.
I love reading that our particles belong to the universe and are designed to respond to Love – this is a deeply confirming reminder that we belong to a higher divine order and expansiveness and yet we keep our awareness limited and play it down rather than forever emanating our universality.
I relate wholly to having reacted to a loveless world and all that I knew to be true and equal, yet was everything but this unity. Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine presented a loving anomaly to the chaos and misery from all angles. There was no holding back and an absolute love and acceptance of all, irrespective of their choices. This true reflection enabled me to commit to life, to connect to God and thereafter Trust in life, people and live my life, let people in and Love.
I love the way each sentence in this blog, if taken on its own, carries within its meaning the meaning of the whole. This feels like a reflection in practical terms of what the blog is saying. This is living “My Body and The Body of God” in true expression.
Another powerful line – “If we listen to this, then we let go of the reins that we are gripping for dear life and allow ourselves to follow the impulses that naturally pulse forth from this our greater body. We allow our breath to sync to the rhythm of Nature, the breath of God – the All of Us – and the panic subsides.” What a different way to live.
‘If I choose to not connect too deeply then I won’t get hurt, right? Wrong.’ This is gold what you have shared and exposed, it is something I used to do by continually wanting to ‘escape’ from my body by drinking alcohol, not wanting to feel, take responsibility or truly commit to life. My life … became a complete mess. The hurts escalated. What I know now is that when we do stop, feel, be honest, take responsibility and start to commit to life, it is absolutely amazing. Why on earth would we want to run from the amazingness we truly are? Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine show not only that there is another way to live, but how incredibly awesome life is and becomes.
‘Whether we accept it or not, our bodies are forever responding to the Universe that we are an innate part of, no different to the way our oceans respond to the moon or our trees respond to the wind.’ Why do we fight our true nature? It doesn’t make sense.
So true Carmel. It makes sense of how the world that we have created is upside down and non-sensical pretty much all the time.
Yet we continue to fight nature and the natural order of the universe, what a huge arrogance we display. All to avoid exposing the fact that we choose to separate from that divine natural order and source in the first place.
Agreed Carmel, it makes no sense and yet we all do it or have done it.
Yes Carmel, we are all part of a bigger whole and it doesn’t make sense to fight it. It is time to take responsibility for the part we play, to contribute our bit. Every single person is asked to step up and to live his or her light, the holding back is over.
“We are love and if we choose to not live this love, then we invite a whole manner of illness and dis-ease into our bodies simply because: It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” This is so true, when we fight love our natural flow and rhythm we are working against the flow of the universe, we have to put more force and effort into it, which causes exhaustion, nervous tension and so on. All these things eventually cause illness and disease in the body.
This is divine revelation Liane! For a group to be breaking the age old consciousness of the body as the enemy, to be despised, beaten up, abused, ignored, exposes the great lie of how we have been living as a race. Along with the Soul, the body is there to bring us back home. If we only will love ourselves and our body, we will be able to Love all.
It is divine, and to be heralded from the rooftops. Care of the body completely changes when we see it as part of our path of return to who we really are. A body of love beckons us daily and transforms life into an experience with purpose.
Absolutely Heather. A body of love is constantly there reminding us every step of the way what is loving and what is not. Even when it is very clear I have held back, the awareness and learning is a celebration in itself.
I love your sentence “the body is there to bring us back home.” I have the feeling, I was so long away from home, and thanks god to Unimed and Serge Benhayon, I’m now finding my way back to home, to the love I am.
Liane thank you for ‘singing like an angel’ and inviting us all to join you. No more holding back. 🙂 🙂
It is truly wonderful to no longer hold back and be brave enough to walk a path that speaks of love and wisdom without wondering what people will think. Claiming our own wisdom is immensely rewarding and changes the view we had of who we were.
I can feel the loveliness in your words Heather. They also feel like the most natural and simple way to live. As mentioned in these comments any other way becomes tension in the mind and body which I know has been very exhausting for me as it cuts off the natural flow that is available to impulse us, which is the divine energy source. Anything else takes the energy out of my body, in fact my cells and leaves me depleted. That is when sugar and food cravings step in because I need a quick re-fuel fix.
So true Heather. It is like we awaken when we claim our own wisdom and the view becomes full and expansive just like us. 🙂
‘It is a bit like having the ability to sing like an angel but never opening your mouth to sing.’ When I read this I really felt the enormity of how we hold back. Our resistance to love and all that we can express from this is staggering. We all walk around like zombies gagged and bound and YET the love that is within us is busting to free itself. No wonder we are exhausted. The resistance is monumental.
I agree, Kathryn, our resistance is staggering, and how inspiring it is when we meet women who don’t hold back.
I agree kathrynfortuna. There is so much held back. It is time to take responsibility and express. We don’t have to be perfect or even correct. Just having a go and learning from it is what’s important.
I’ve felt for some time like a beautiful butterfly trapped in a glass dome trying desperately to get out. It is an utterly exhausting place to be, using way more energy and brain power than a usual single open air flight would take in a couple of seconds trying to break free. What is bonkers is that I put the glass lid there in the first place trying to keep myself warm and cosy, protected from harm. But truly that choice only harmed myself.
This is such a pertinent comment Kathryn. I now know that I am so much more than I ever thought possible and even then I don’t think I have registered the half of it! In this light the fact that I have held back and reduced myself so much feels so warped. When I am myself and let the love I have within connect naturally with all others there is nothing but joy and expansion felt in my body – an ease and a naturalness with life.
I agree kathrynfortuna, no wonder indeed that we are so exhausted and coffee sales are reaching extraordinary heights. We have resisted for so long, we think it’s ‘normal’. Surrender is the way to go, surrender to the love that we are.
Yes, Kathryn, the tension we feel in our bodies from holding back all that we are is colossal, and as you say requires phenomenal effort to keep under wraps. Time to let it out, I would say!
The resistance is monumental when you look around at what is happening in the world – disease, rates of suicide, wars, domestive violence, obesity…all on the rise…that’s a lot of resistance.
Oh WOW Sandra when we look at it like that and the fact that all resistance to love will play out in some way, it really is staggering.
We do not really consider how much energy and force it takes to resist what we naturally are and how holding that back impacts our body and others as well.
Totally agree Kathryn.
I was struck by this analogy too Kathryn. The tension that builds up is no wonder when there is so much inside us just waiting to be expressed. And how sad… that the world does not get to experience all these beautiful voices that each have their own expression that could so easily imbue the orchestra of life with yet more glory and magic.
Beautiful Simon. It seems that the orchestra of life is in never ending rehearsal.:) 🙂 How glorious will it be when we all finally sing together?
We live inside the body of God.
When we really feel this it is so much easier to surrender and feel the love that we are.
‘We live inside the body of god’ Beautifully expressed Kathryn, How could we ever be small and without Love, with this truth as our guide.
What support this is to be held within the body of God.
Absolute trust, surrender and unending Love – who can say no to this?
It is a miracle to know we do live inside the body of God, and not have this just be words, or even faith. To know this as a living experience is a revelation.
Indeed to actually feel the support of living inside the body of God, means that it is not a mental exercise of faith but a lived experience which if I surrender to only requires the expression of that love that I come from.
Yes we absolutely living inside the body of God, and when we “live like a fish an ocean and are not getting wet,” as presented by Serge Benhayon, we feel the love that surrounds us.
This is beautiful Greg and so true. We are living like fish in the ‘school’ of life 🙂
I’m really starting to cherish the love that we are; I’m also feeling how much energy it takes to resist being this love and how exhausting it is resisting. Feels wonderful to develop a relationship with myself when once I certainly viewed my body as the enemy.
Yes, me too Karin. I saw my body as the enemy when it wasn’t keeping up with me! This has been an age-old false consciousness that has dictated to the human how it should be i.e. having a free -for- all cavorting on this planet, using energy unwisely in conflict and indulgence, driving to create an earthly paradise and then blaming the body when it gets ill and can’t handle the destructive force that is being used to run it .
When all the time the body is our greatest friend and ally and reflects directly back to us the quality of our choices and life-style, educating us on how to live lovingly, if only we will listen and hear, and feel.
The turn around in your relationship with your own body is very inspiring Karin and something that completely resonates with me. I have recently gone deeper with my relationship with my body and in doing so I have been astounded at how much more my body can communicate to me on how I have been living up until now.
Me too Karin, I realize more and more, how much effort it is, not to be love. The more I connect to my inner heart, the more I can let go of all my unloving beliefs and ideas I have about myself and the world.
“Our bodies do this regardless of whether we choose this or not, for their particles belong to the Universe and answer to that call and not to our self imposed one.” This is most beautifully expressed Liane. We are not the masters over our bodies as they are a part of the whole and as this part they will forever answer the call of the all and for the all. Thus individualism does not resonate harmoniously in our bodies, no wonder the many ailments we have to be content with when we are constantly pushing ourselves to be something our body, by virtue of its making, is not able to be, as it is constantly pulled to be wide and spacious and part of the all and not dense and compressed and on its own.
Beautifully said Esther. Once we realise the bigger picture, that we are part of the Universe, life takes on a whole new meaning.
Esther, thank you for repeating Liane’s powerful line and then for adding to it with your own words. The combination of yours and Liane’s words have just rocketed me across my kitchen! Oh my goodness gracious me what is it that we are we doing here on Earth? We are scrabbling around in these bodies of ours that we think that we own and can do with what we want. We invest so much effort into making our bodies look better when as Liane said ‘our particles belong to the Universe’. We are grand beyond measure, our majesty is unquantifiable and yet we believe that having a tighter butt is worth pursuing! I want to shout “HELP, HELP” out of my window “can anybody hear me, we’ve lost the plot entirely”.
Thank you Alexis for bringing realness to this. It is indeed crazy that we keep ourselves busy perfecting a body that is already all that it needs to be.
That our particles belong to the universe is a truth I know to my core – these words set me alight and confirm the fire that I am.
When I participated in doing a survey of women’s health I was very surprised at just how much pain and how many constant physical complications are perfectly normal for women. I am 56 and, as I am not a health professional, simply was unaware of the extent of what is going on.
Yes so many of us live with pain on a day to day basis that it has become normal to have and live with some sort of discomfort and pain and or some kind of illness and disease. Just by talking to people we can find out so much what is going on in our lives and with our bodies. Nowadays it is hard to find a person who does not suffer from some form of pain, discomfort, illness etc. We are trying to cope but we are slowly breaking under the enormity of our declining health.
This powerful quote of Liane’s resonates as I re-read it and is worthy of repeating again. “Our bodies do this regardless of whether we choose this or not, for their particles belong to the Universe and answer to that call and not to our self imposed one.” This changes the relationship we have with our bodies for good: from one that believes we master the body to one that answers ‘to the call of the all for all.’ There is indeed a universal order in place that we can align to.
So beautifully expressed Esther. The line “This individualism does not resonate harmoniously within our bodies” has taken my depth of understanding about how I fight the flow of the Divine in my body to a whole other dimension. My body is not mine to do with as I please, it is a vehicle of expression which is a part of the whole body of expression we all come from. I have a responsibility to all to love and cherish this vehicle, my body, so I am able to return to being my part of the magnificent whole we all make up.
“The quality of our health is in our hands.” the depth of this point is something that should be studied by us all throughout our life. It has endless ripple effects in the way we are with ourselves and what we do.
Yes David – that we are responsible for the quality of our health and whole life by virtue of the choices we make on a moment to moment basis should be studied, taught in schools and be common knowledge – imagine a world in which everyone is empowered to understand energy and choice.
Yes this is so important, that we consider how we can make such an impact on our own health by the way we treat our bodies. It’s very empowering to look at health as an extension of how we have lived.
Absolutely David, I agree, a study of self-health that should be taught from kindergarten to university! Universal Medicine provides the back drop for our evolving health.
“Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love”- and when we realise that it takes more energy to resist the love that we are than to surrender and accept it – why is it that we continue this abuse?
Definitely time to claim our divine bodies back and respect and honour what has been given to us to express from.
Absolutley Loretta. To hold back our expression is the most painful thing we can do to ourselves. It is a great question to ask – why do we continue to do that to ourselves? It most definitely is time to step out of the shadows and embrace all the we have been given by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. We have a new understanding that life is medicine, and everything that we do in it is our medicine. We have the power and the wisdom to turn our own lives around, and we have been given many gifts and tools to do so by this inspirational work. Now it’s time for us all to share it with the world.
I love this blog and the reality of all you share Liane and the love we are shines out from it clearly for us all. The knowing you share that” the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” says it all that we can thus understand about life and start to really appreciate the love we are.
To walk around knowing that our particles belong to God/the Universe is a life changing realization. It means that no matter how far we fall we always have particles within us that are pulling us back to re-connect to our divine nature. This is what I would call divine design.
“….we are love and if we choose to not live this love, then we invite a whole manner of illness and dis-ease into our bodies simply because: It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” These are golden key words Lianne. Choosing love really is a no-brainer, yet so few of us world-wide do so. Thank God for Serge Benhayon for leading the way back to love.
I simply love the joyful juiciness in which you express about our “fleshy vehicle” Liane. “Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.” Yum, yum! Making love is fun as a living joyful Son!
“Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.”, this is so true, this is the real pain and we just don’t stop to feel it so we load our lives with motion and doing things and not expressing the love we truly are.
One Word. Divine. Stunning writing and revelation Liane
“Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.”Thank you Liane for this beautifully powerful blog that simply expresses the true love we are within ourselves, and the fact that our choice to not connect to this deep love is the root cause of all illness and disease. There is much to ponder on in regard to our choices.
I agree Rosemary. This blog is littered with gold.
“Our bodies do this regardless of whether we choose this or not, for their particles belong to the Universe and answer to that call and not to our self imposed one.”
Thank you for this wonderful blog, Liane, it has brought understanding as to how I ‘found’ Serge Benhayon and the work of the Ageless Wisdom – it was the wisdom and love in my body that brought me here and keeps me here, despite my mind’s doubts and thinking it has called the tune. This makes me giggle, as my mind and spirit are revealed as being the charade that they are and they know that they now need to ‘fall in line’ with who is really calling the shots. All very good news.
Beautiful said Marian, ‘who is really calling the shots’ and that for me is my body as it caries such a strong connection with the universal wisdom that it cannot else than live accordingly. I have found that it brings that much joy to live in accordance and in harmony with my body instead of trying to influence and control my body in a certain way from my mind. As with you I know that my body has brought me to Serge Benhayon as the connection to the Ageless Wisdom was already known and my body could not anything else than respond to this call as it is devoted to the universal connection with God we all have equally so.
‘Thus, the choice to ‘fight’ or ‘flow’ is ours to make, in every single moment and with every given breath.’ It has taken me years to come to a place of acceptance of this Truth, but it is true! The more I’ve resisted, fought, tried to make things the way I want them to be or the way I see it, the more pain, struggle and complication I have experienced. There is a Divine Order and flow to EVERYTHING; if we care to listen, (starting with listening to our bodies and respecting them) our lives become lighter and simpler.
“Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.” Now imagine if this was taught as part of religion at schools, would our children not grow up with a loving relationship to their body? If kids were taught from a very young age to truly honour their body, that it is their bridge and connection to God, to Heaven there wouldn’t be the massive amount of disregard, illness and disease that we see today.
Love ourselves, no holding back enjoy it and celebrate “Our bodies are not prisons made of flesh, far from it. Our bodies are Heaven made visible…” I feel this as a truth in my life, no longer do I drag my body around as though it is merely a vessel, these particles are learning to sing to a new song in alignment with the natural laws of the universe.
This is something that many of us struggle with, I speak from experience “Nothing too serious to warrant immediate medical attention…” We are worn out, tense, stressed, emotional and moody and yet we think that is ‘normal’ or ‘just what life is like’. I tolerated this way of living for some time and yet there was a call within that kept saying ‘this can’t be it’….and you know what….it wasn’t.
I committed to getting to know how my body responds and all the lovely signs that is shares every day and it has offered my a deeper level of wisdom and awareness in life and enabled me to live in an alternative manner. The quality, joy, self worth and vitality that has developed is astronomical.
This is an amazing article, written beautifully, a true pleasure to share in. I can feel that I have had so much resistance to expressing all of who I am, as I let go of this resistance I can feel my body align with more truth naturally “…for their particles belong to the Universe and answer to that call and not to our self imposed one.” To attempt to fight our natural impulses is to attempt to reject what we truly are and how connected we are with the universe.
Choosing to connect to the body and having a loving relationship with the body is a match made in Heaven, feels yummy inside.
I’ve been having the same feelings Deborah, it’s feeling more and more heavenly in my body the more I stay with feeling my body. With this is coming more appreciation to how precious my body is and why would I want to hurt in any way the harmony that comes with these feelings. It is a gift we are given from God and one that we all have equally. Worth celebrating and sharing – with anyone anytime who feels the same call to honor the body they have.
Holding back is something I am familiar with and have done all my life. It is lovely to read your blog Liane and be inspired to continue to become the Love that I am and express this in every way!
The body is not something to avoid but our greatest friend to embrace. When I ask questions like: how does my body feel about moving in the acceptance of love? it can’t help but want to expand and burst. The tightness that follows is uncomfortable, but running away from the body is not the answer in that moment. Thank you Liane.
Oh yes that awful feeling of holding back and the pain that is felt when we do so. I can definitely relate to this as it has felt awful to hold back. Often it is like a prison around our expression, a capping on what we can express or do. But it is not like this we when heal our hurts that get in the way of being in our bodies and embracing all we truly are. This is something I am still learning and unfolding but like your experience Liane, it is well worth every step
I love reading this blog as each time I appreciate and feel the body more and its purpose. I realised recently that when I have felt I have not ‘liked’ a part of my body because of how it looks or feels, I am rejecting the whole of my body and therefore God as my body is actually here for me to express God through and what it does and how it is in quality, is for a reason – hence “do we fight, or do we flow? The quality of our health is in our hands”
We are constantly nudged to make unloving choices and just think about what is good for our own self. Crazy that this is happening within the body of God, but there we have it, our own creation. But in each moment we are also deeply loved and supported to return to live the loving expression of the divinity we are from. Now, which of these two energies do we align to? Forever a choice. The only true choice.
I too have spent a lifetime fighting my body and certainly realise the enormous energy I have used in trying to resist love. But since knowing Serge Benhayon my life has changed dramatically in side my self and my body is building to one allowing myself to simply be and feel the love I am. This brings an aliveness and energy that is in total contrast to the exhaustion out there in the world.
Liane, I love the way you express your ‘moment of grace’ when meeting Serge Benhayon for the first time. It makes me chuckle every time I read it as Serge Benhayon is the most normal and humble person one could ever meet – no need of a feather or tattoo to make himself more visible to others, his all-encompassing presence is more than enough.
“Here was this guy, very normal looking considering the backdrop (Byron Bay is a mecca for every style of ‘healer’ under the sun) standing there in a collared shirt (a rarity in those parts and you can imagine my disappointment that there was not a tattoo or feather in sight) and talking about Esoteric Medicine.”
This is such a great blog to re-visit Liane. To understand illness and dis-ease from the perspective you present here is very empowering and makes sense of things:
“all that happens to it from this point is in accordance to the bigger picture, the greater plan, our true home and any illness experienced will simply be a clearing of what has been allowed to accumulate from being in resistance to this pull.”.
Absolutely Stephanie. We become much less of a ‘victim’ when we start understanding and viewing illness and disease in this way. Instead of it being a ‘random’ occurrence, what Liane has shared re-introduces responsibility into the picture. Knowing this is a huge blessing as through this view on becoming ill we can understand what choices led to our sickness, and how we can change them.
It is indeed our own choice to feel miserable and not imprisoned in our own bodies, but you show so clearly what a missed opportunity there is when we choose that. While we can choose differently and be in sync with that what we are a part of, the body of god.
I loved reading every word and yet at the same time an uncomfortableness came over as I sat here. I could feel the wanting to surrender deeper to my body and the call to be much more loving with it. I could feel the tension of having not lived this and a push almost to continue in my loveless ways. Why do we fight such grandness? Today I will be accepting that I can love my universal particles more and be guided by there grace.
‘…we are love and if we choose to not live this love, then we invite a whole manner of illness and dis-ease into our bodies simply because: It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.’ It strikes me Liane that illness and dis-ease are so much more than what we generally say that they are. It is entertaining anything that is not of love – when I read the above in your article, I felt this profoundly. Knowing this truth and learning to choose love without perfection, becomes our purpose. I am confronted every moment sometimes with the choices I have made and the patterns and momentums that have me bound – until I make the loving choice again…
‘It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.’ Our negative thoughts about ourselves are an insidious way of holding back our own love – we may think we are being honest but in truth it is simply criticism that serves to make us feel small and exhausted. Far better to appreciate ourselves and evolve from there.
So true Carmel and a step for all of us to make, I appreciate I understand this and there are many others I know who reflect this choice.
The main cause of exhaustion is also fighting this love, like any other fight it is pointless and ridiculous and yet we all do it. I love knowing my body is made up of divine particles and I just need to start treating them that way. Brilliant blog Liane!
Absolutely Kev – it’s amazing how resourceful we become when it comes to fighting this love that we are and avoiding our responsibility for all of our choices made contrary to it.
Yes Michael, and if we are that resourceful at avoiding responsibility it is clear that we can be AS resourceful with choosing responsibility. Imagine the power, the love, as each one of us stands and chooses Love as the way we will go. I can already hear the beauty and splendour of the ‘music’ this will create as we express and move.
Seeing the body as the enemy is a sure way to keep us in the density of individualism. It keeps alive the cycle of believing that we are nothing more than a physical being having a physical experience. Become a lover of our body and we see and feel that we are so much more, we align to the stars, we align to heaven.
I love your comment Donna – ‘Become a lover of our body”
Yes, Donna. And how often it is so subtle that we use our body in an abusive way. How often this abuse is hidden behind comfort, comfort of eating certain food or exercising in a certain way, running etc.
That is a great way to describe it, Donna: ‘Become a lover of our body’. Do so, and yes, we allow ourselves to feel that we are no different from the stars, exerting our pull on the entirety of the universe, as they do upon us with nothing but absolute grace and harmony. As we express ourselves with our ever refining love of our body, so too do we become more absolute in our own grace and harmony with the cosmic heavenly dance.
Rejecting our body, fighting against it is a result of wanting to stay individual, of not considering ourselves as part of the whole, as part of the Universe, as part of God. Align to the truth of who we are, which is love, we can not but help take responsibility for the vehicle that we reside in here on earth.
Do we fight or do we flow, that is a question we may all ask ourselves. It seems that when we fight, we get illnesses, discomforts and diseases, and the more we let go and go with the flow, the more we allow ourselves to be that love and share this with everybody and everything around us.
Yes Marietta, and the more we can enjoy the body we live in. Getting to know our bodies is a big factor and one I have found to be the biggest support of all.
What a great blog Liane learning to love my body and building my connection with God is a beautiful journey and ever increasing as a way of living thanks to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
So true Tricia, and the word you use here that strikes me is ‘learning’ to love our bodies when for so long we have discounted them as the true way back to love. And yes, we have Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine to thank for showing us the way!
I just read this one line and feel to comment on it
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it”.
In my world almost everyone I know thinks that word ‘Love’ is emotional Love and just the word puts them off and they will read no further. I know I too was the same until I got the understanding (from Serge Benhayon) about the real meaning of this word ‘Love’, which is Divine Love and not the Valentine’s Day stuff.
I say to those I know – ‘It takes more force to resist the Truth than to Live it’.
Truth is Love and Love is God.
It is one and the same, but to bridge it with words that are accessible to the majority who have been so hurt by this word called Love, it makes sense for now to offer an alternative so that more can be reached.
Beautifully said Bina, and thank you for explaining ‘Love’. That’s how far away from truth we have come, that we don’t even really know what ‘Love’ actually is; What is being talked about here is the Divine Love that resides within us all, coming from our Divine spark, which is God himself. The romantic ‘valentine’s day stuff’ is just so laden with expectations and lacks true love, most of the time. No wonder so many of us are put off by the word ‘love’, as airy fairy.
Thanks to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine I have been able to re-connect to the true meaning of this extremely important word, thank GOD!
‘Whether we accept it or not, our bodies are forever responding to the Universe that we are an innate part of ..’ This is so true but something that is not knowingly lived or shared. There is so much to understand, learn and feel. I cannot help but feel how the world is currently fighting and not flowing, we are going against what is natural and as you say, innate to us. Thank you for starting this discussion.
Very true Vicky. This is perhaps the biggest thing to bring into our lives and we are fortunate enough to feel its significance albeit as the tip of an unfathomably enormous iceberg.
Yes we are very much fighting as we have for aeons, but there is also a stirring among us that the fight we put up is not worth it, an awakening that the way we live is not it or can’t be it. The world is drawing together, the borders we have drawn are shaking in their foundations, our behaviours become more extreme and impulsive, our bodies are oozing of diseases and the cry for true love and connection is imminent right beneath the surface. Our outer crust is full of that what does not belong, but our inner fire is igniting, spreading its warmth consistently.
Hear hear Esther!
Thank you Lianne… In this blog I could feel the pain and grief of disregarding my body and leaving the love that I am. I know and have felt the true healing that love brings, learning to love and support myself in a way where I can live in and contribute to the world with true grace and love for all of humanity.
I really enjoyed your blog Liane it makes sense to why we have illness and disease. The more I am able to understand the bigger picture, that everything has a meaning to it, nothing is random or incidental, the more I am able to accept that I am the sum total of all the choices I have made in my life. Knowing that love is where we are from and who we are and anything that is not love does not sit well in the body has been my biggest hurdle, but also my greatest gift.
“Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.”
a beautiful philosophical expose on the science of the human body…
To have the understanding and knowing that we are particles of a greater body of love is a great blessing in itself. This gives me the purpose to connect to the ongoing communication of love, whereas before I just tried hard to build my own personal island to survive.
That understanding has opened up a vast new world for me as well, felixschumacher8. It is a new level of comprehension of how we are all reflections of the entire body of God, not just ‘personal islands’ trying to carve out a piece of existence for as long as we can until our body gives out. We are, in fact, enhousing a physical body while our true being is the stuff of the ever-evolving intelligence and being-ness of the cosmos.
Superbly captured Felix and Naren. The effort and struggle to maintain our ‘personal island’ is exhausting, simply because it is not meant to be that way. It is like trying to make something, thinking we have all the parts but it never works out. There is always something missing – our surrender to the truth that what we are trying to make, already exists in abundance and we are intricately part of it… Accepting and living from this truth is our purpose and our freedom.
I love this, “our surrender to the truth that what we are trying to make, already exists in abundance and we are intricately part of it”. That sentence boils down to the arrogance of the human being hunched over his forge trying desperately to make something that is sitting on his doorstep, and ignoring all notifications of the fact.
Touché Naren! The humanness – our physical body and emotions become a prison and we can condemn ourselves unnecessarily to a life of hard labour.
Liane, this resonates with me in many ways. That we belong to a universe and just as nature responds to this magnificent constellation so are we called to do so, the question is do we run or flow with it. You initiated something else for me also with your mentioning of the angel with the potential to sing with his heavenly voice and not choosing to do so, that hit home with me. Thanks for a brilliant lesson in love.
Moving every particle we are made of in tune with the divine symphony we are part of is a beautiful way of being all that we are part of and the bigger picture, the divine plan and simply letting go and being part of this is the way to be in life with simplicity love and joyfulness. as you share Liane thank you. The responsibility comes with claiming we are a son of God and part of the all in brotherhood.
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.”, this is so true. To resist, you have to harden, contract the body, shut down and ignore any feelings, where as if you are just being love you just open your heart and allow, there is no physical shut down, but just an opening and allowing and, less energy is used to just be.
Re-reading your blog this morning Liane I was captivated by the word ‘Grace’ – ‘It wasn’t until I attended a presentation by Serge Benhayon, one Friday night in Byron Bay, Australia that my moment of grace came’. Grace is something that is ever present, deeply loving and reflective, held in our bodies and in life. Today I will be ever aware of the ‘Grace’ life presents.
This is what I felt drawn to too when reading Liane’s words, Grace. The word itself is graceful in its expression, holding, loving and forever present.
Grace is such an amazing concept and to feel that we offer ourself a level of grace from our own choice is a true gift.
Loving acceptance and an invitation to ‘be’ in the holding of Love’s light is what I feel when reading your words on Grace, Christine. Despite our choices, Grace surrounds us, Grace holds us.
This is a beautiful and powerful blog on the simplicity of the true love we hold within ourselves and the choice we have in any given moment to fight love or flow with that love. If we choose to accept to go with that harmonious universal flow and begin to build our body of love, then how gloriously, joyful and uncomplicated life can be, it’s like coming home, really coming home. Thank-you Liane for making it so clear.
Beautiful words in confirmation of Liane’s sharing Deidre. Confirming this wisdom within us all.
I see so many people Liane that talk about their body like it is failing them or ‘hates’ them. When we live in separation to our body, and disconnected to the wise yet simple signals it is giving us always, we can feel this way. As there is little reflection of how this is otherwise – ie a way to live connected to our bodies, we largely run around not knowing what true connection looks or feels like. The teachings of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, and as now learned and shared by others including you Liane, give a distinct reflection of what this looks and feels like, as well as tools to support with this connection. We have more support than ever before to connect to our bodies and honour them lovingly so. Honouring ourselves as the Divine beings we are, is a far cry from the current abuse that abounds.
Well said Amelia, so often we regard our bodies as the enemy when they break down. We rarely see that our ill health is a consequence of our daily choices, but when we do we can begin to restore a true and tender relationship with our best ally and see that all our body can ever do is respond to how we treat it.
I could not agree more Rowena, our bodies are a GOD send, they are a way to really get to know how we are actually living as long as we allow it to speak and don’t dull it with food, drinks and other substances including emotions.
Well said, Rowena. How can we detest something that is only ever telling us the truth? We do not like our bodies because we cannot escape the reflection of how we have been living, but if we were to listen and learn, all the wisdom in the world is there within.
Beautifully said Rowena. Daily choices are the way forward, ‘restoring a true and tender relationship with our best ally’ knowing our body will respond to the way we treat it. Responsibility and choices go hand in hand with well being.
Amazing Comment Amelia. It shows how most people are severely disconnected with their body, and when it is sending them messages (i.e pains, aches, bloating, illness, disease etc. ) we think it is failing as you have so beautifully said it. But after a little while of getting to know my body I have found this is not the case, as these messages are indicative of something which I am choosing which does not belong.
Yes exactly Harry. Our body is a God-given messenger from Heaven to let us know how we are choosing to live! Not a weak failure. Thank heavens for Serge Benhayon assisting us to reawaken this truth.
This begs the question Harry about how we come to be so disconnected from our bodies? In my work presenting to groups I have introduced questions which simply ask participants, ‘how does that (what they are talking about) affect your body? Most people are taken aback by the question and after a while will comment on how important it was to them resolving their concerns. There is much conversation to be had in reference to our truth barometer, the body!
I agree Bernadette, it has become so foreign and as a society we don’t understand our bodies. We have a mentality that they are just there and we need them to do things, but have we considered that they are a form of intelligence, and in that can connect us to a life that is beyond physical?
The more we relate any issues to the body by simply asking about how it responds, the more we are raising awareness about what you so aptly share here Harry; that our bodies are a form of intelligence. And the brilliant thing about this is we don’t have to study it, get a degree in it, get a job to prove we know it – we just have to connect to it and feel what it is communicating and learn from it. A reverse form of education! Have you heard of a guy called Serge Benhayon?
Well said Bernadette. and yes I have heard of Serge Benhayon he is absolutely awesome!
so true Amelia, we blame our body for letting us down and don’t take the required care and responsibility for it in the first place.
‘Fight or flow’ is a very easy way to look at life. Are we living in line with what is presented in front of us, or resisting what is naturally there for us to do or say? When we don’t live in accord to what is naturally there, it accumulates and this causes much tension for us. I have been experiencing this more and more, and learning to surrender more for what is naturally there for me to do. Life does not need to be a struggle it seems!
Thank you Liane for a deeply inspiring and beautiful blog. I felt so much love and truth in your words. It brought tears to my eyes.
Likewise Jill, I gained such a deeper understanding of our bodies, our relationship with them and how we are truly connected to something much grander than we think.
“Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” this sentence says it all, the more love I express through movement of my body the more of heaven I am bringing through this vehicle of expression for others and the more vitality and joy I enjoy.
Beautifully expressed Francisco! The more I am connected with the truth that my body is a vehicle of expression, I know to simply ask my self, ‘..is this a body that the Divine could express through?’ and instantly I am brought back to the quality I know is needed for Love to be revealed.
Lianne, thank you for sharing such wisdom and awareness of the responsibility we all have when it comes to the wellbeing, vitality and quality of health in our lives. The more love we choose to live with on a daily basis the more we are saying yes to a loving and healthy body.
Every time I read this article I find something else beautiful and inspiring, we can either “fight or flow”. I love this and the comparison with nature where the trees move in the wind, no struggle, just allowing and learning and forever expanding our ability to act in a loving way and fit in with the laws of the Universe that the particles that make up our bodies are so naturally a part of.
I love that too. The stillness and repose that we find in nature is most beautiful to feel, there is no pushing and trying, just the surrender to what is to come.
The idea of flow is often so absent in our daily lives, but is present everywhere around us in nature. A telling offering should we choose to pay attention.
I love the comparison with nature also Stephen. Nature is a great role model for what it means to simple be, surrender and accept our divinity.
Amazing blog, the revelation to me is that “the real pain..that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” – the realisation that I expend more energy fighting my divinity and then wallowing in this lost fight, is such an indulgence that definitely need to be stopped.
Beautifully expressed Joel, and I totally agree this really does need to be stopped and then replaced with the true Joy that we have naturally inside us. It seems like a far fetched comment to someone who has not felt this joy in their body but at the same time offers a moment to really work on just how gorgeous life is when we are connected to this.
Nice, aminatumi. There is the discomfort that we have layered over the joy, but it doesn’t remove the joy, it only covers it up
Yes Joel, as nothing can ever take it away.
Joel, the truth of your words is both liberating and confronting! I love how you have expanded on Liane’s amazing expression. Why ever would I, using the body’s intelligence, ‘expend more energy fighting my divinity’? Truly an indulgence….much to ponder here.
I agree bernadetteglass, what Joel has brought here is truly liberating and exposing at the same time. The body knows best, and it’s forever there supporting us back to truth, even with illness and disease.
The consistency of the body to reflect our choices has my ever deepening appreciation Esther. It is our true counsellor!
I completely agree Joel. This blog has blown me away. The pure wisdom of the universe captured in exquisite expression.
As Liana shares here, we only have 2 choices, to fight the flow of the universe or to go with it and bring our bodies into alignment with the rhythm of the universe.
All our pain and sadness can actually be attributed to choosing to be out of sync with with a rhythm that we are aching to flow in line with.
Very true katemaroney1, we could even go further, to suggest that given the rhythm is universal and all encompassing, we are never out of its rhythm, which is why we have to work so hard to not notice it.
Totally Joel and Kate. The body itself, since it is makes from the particles of God is continually updating, never ‘goes out of print’, knows all the ‘news’, and is one with divine being, all the time, and has an intelligence far greater than the mind we currently employ. We have to work overtime to stop this grandness and pure splendour.
Joel’s comment here to never being out of rhythm is something I’ve recently realised and can now see how hard I’ve worked to not notice this. It’s like a light grey mist around my eyes and head, that could still be seen through but just made life that bit harder, has been blown away and now things are clearer and brighter … shining, in fact. To acknowledge that our bodies are truly in rhythm and are our guides in life, simplifies things considerably and is a great relief!
Where the conversation has reached with Joel’s comment is profound. We are ‘never’ out of the rhythm of the Universe, we just work very hard to be oblivious to noticing it. I can see the convenience of ‘not noticing’, because then we can be ‘surprised’ by what we do not like to see such as illness, disease, incidents, weather patterns. It helps us ignore that these are a direct result of our own choice, and fail to recognise that far from being our enemy, they are perfect examples of us always being part of a loving rhythm, and they are there to actually support us.
This conversation here is profound and after reading all the responses I can feel the true Power of Love in the free Will to stay aligned and go with the flow of our true nature or go off and arrogantly think we can go it alone and make our existence about self…. Such Love is grand beyond comprehension; no attachment, investment, need or visions – which is exactly what the self depends upon to feed our smallness and separation. As you say Joel L, we have to work hard to be out of rhythm. Thanks everyone for this enlightening conversation!
Wow, how we are held in God’s body is just so beautiful and grand; that even when we fight so hard to be out of rhythm we are still held in an all encompassing rhythm. This feels supportive beyond words. It allows for the space to learn and be without perfection; a space to cherish. It comes with the realisation that all attempts to create something that is outside of this rhythm, something that is not of this rhythm is pointless and only results in illness and dis-ease. The rhythm of the universe is so much grander and wiser. We are this rhythm, it doesn’t make sense we are fighting ourselves!
I like what you say Lyndy, our body never goes out of print and it is constantly updating as it lives in God’s womb and is part of it, thus we are never not asked/gently pulled to be the grandness that we are.
Joel, this is absolutley spot on. I totally agree. As Liane so clearly says “It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” It is indeed a pure indulgence to play the victim of something that we ourselves have created, when all we need to do is to take a moment to stop, make a choice to say no to that which we so often give in to, and instead connect to that deep ocean of love that surrounds us day in and day out.
‘the realisation that I expend more energy fighting my divinity and then wallowing in this lost fight, is such an indulgence that definitely need to be stopped’. Said in one Joel and stopped me in my tracks. Time for a new way: surrendering to the divinity that lives within me.
This stopped me in my tracks too kehinde2012…the realisation that it is indulgence to think or talk about how off track we are when all we need to do is make a difference choice.
Absolutely Sandra. After participating in Sacred Esoteric Healing Level 5 this weekend, the truth of what you share is very much with me. Justifying why we’re not doing this or that is an indulgence we create to stop ourselves from simply choosing to be the divinity we already are.
The feeling I get with this kehinde2012 is like a river attempting to stop or even flow the other way….it would be an enormous effort and exhausting.
Whether we win or lose, fighting is what keeps us in the bind that impedes the flow of love from our Soul. Surrender is the act of grace that brings us home to our hearts, where our true self lies.
I am not usually one for reiterating another’s words, for I do not like to be seen to steal what has been so claimed by another, but I have to repeat your fantastic line that “Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them”. It is a line worth remembering and worth repeating till the heavens come home….
Adam that line is just exquisite and reading it I feel the grandness from which we all come and who we truly are, it’s just up to us to live it.
Hear ye hear ye “It takes more energy to resist love than to be it”. I love this statement Liane, it’s the undiluted truth. It makes me think about how we are wasting our precious personal, global and environmental resources and time on way too many loveless activities and how much easier it would be if we chose to stop resisting and just be love.
Liane a beautifully written article where you have woven health, religion, philosophy and science into something that can be understood by us all.
Profound Liane, love what you share, so true and clear. We are already everything, if only we surrender to the Love that we already are.
Incredible how we are en-housed in a heaven sent body of love and yet for the majority pf people this is not known or felt. It’s a tragedy that infects humanity, and allows systematic self abuse to continue.
“the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love”, agree Liane, and when we (do) realise this, the panic or anxiousness as you say starts to cease and the journey of discard and embrace (love) commences – from connection to the physicality of our body/its care and respect in which to deliver the expression of divinity that we all are.
Liane, you had me at the first line – “My whole life I have felt trapped in my body.” It is so very powerful when we share our personal experiences and realise that many others have felt the same way.
Our bodies are not prisons of flesh, with bad choices our bodies can be warehoused in prisons but the only thing that should be locked up is what energy that made us make the bad choice, it just goes on vacation or finds a comfortable place within us to be a couch potato till the body is released. The real prisoners are not the ones locked up but the ones that lock themselves in there body and spend life looking though the invisible bars they have created. Finding the spark inside of us is all that is required to free open the door of our cell and walk in the light again.
This is beautiful Liane. If we allow ourselves to express the divinity that we are then the struggle will end. This is turn allows all that has not been us to discard from the body. The healing that is on offer if we embrace the process of discarding which will often include an illness or disease to do this, will allow ourselves to truly be a vehicle for the expression of God on earth.
When humanity as a whole remembers that nothing is random the world will be a totally different place. We are all Divine and our true expression is Love, so anything less, can not but create an ill that will need to be cleared. The fact that our bodies can assist this clearing through Illness and disease is a blessing.
Indeed it is Golnaz. If we are able to appreciate this ( even when sometimes it may be difficult to do so) then we can let go of anything else that we hold in regards to illness and truly embrace all that is on offer.
Yes Golnaz and Penny, our bodies are vehicles through which divinity comes through – our choice is to live in a way that allows that or not. If we overdo not being love, we get sick and this is the body correcting us, bringing us back so we can commit and live in a way that allows our bodie to be a vehicle for God on earth.
Love this article Liane, just as I love all that you write as you have a way that undoes the ‘what is not love’ and drives home ‘what is love’ that no body can deny as the truth oozes out of every word, phrase and paragraph ripping away any residues of blinkers and/or veils of deception in the process.
The irony is we think connecting and staying present with ourselves is hard work. I appreciate Liane how you have brought the truth home about how our choice is one of energy. Even after many years of choosing hardness in my body, the understanding that I can just choose love, showed how quickly the body can reconfigure back to a gentle, delicate and harmonious way of being. Sustaining that hardness was a choice of another energy and the proof it was unnatural was in how quickly its effect in the body released. Quite astonishing really as the hardness in muscles right through to organs can feel so solid and entrenched.
Thank you for this awesome blog Liane, honestly I have been fighting and not flowing for so long and it is exhausting. I can really feel the tension in my body because I have repeatedly chosen to resist and fight love rather than surrender to it and yes, my body keeps giving me loud signals. It is with thanks for your blog and the Benhayon family and close friends that I am more and more aware of this old pattern of resistance that I have been running with. I feel like it’s never to late to learn or to change old behaviours and it is okay to feel like a complete beginner.
Well said Rosie “it’s never to late to learn or to change old behaviours and it is okay to feel like a complete beginner”. I’m sure that there will forever be that feeling, that we are at the beginning of that next choice and that next cycle. So indeed, it’s never too late.
Yes, the beginning of another cycle is exactly where I am at. Going around again.
“We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that enhouses us all.” Liane this is beautiful and enables us to makes simple sense of something that is deeply and utterly profound. Once we have a greater understanding of our true purpose here on earth, we can begin to let go of all our wants and needs which are all self created, and start to live with a true purpose. By appreciating we are indeed part of a much greater body that belongs to God, our lives can begin to become about humanity first, and not self.
My goodness Sandra reading your comment after reading Liane’s article really made it hit home how hard we have to try in order to not be love! The fact is we are love, in a sea of love and yet for many people, life is a seemingly loveless experience. And so for billions of people to believe that they have no love in their lives when they are made from particles of love and are surrounded by love, the question has to be asked ‘ what on Earth is going on?’
It is indeed very lovely and profoundly empowering to know we are inherently encased in a body of love, our own fleshy body as well as the Universe/God. Brings home the silliness of all the games we play that are less than the full expression of love we naturally supported to be.
It is beautiful to read the awareness that Liane has about the consequences of rejecting herself and herself with God. Consequences that anyone can live at any time. I have experienced this also and felt the deep hurt and pain of the separation away from myself and myself with God, only to come back and find that it was never truly gone, only hidden, buried and rejected. God never leaves us.
This is such a beautiful line – ““Our bodies are not prisons made of flesh”. I work as a Registered Nurse and everyday I work with people who believe the exact opposite to this, that their body is their enemy and that they are imprisoned by it. We have to come to value the intelligence of the body and that if our bodies have broken down then there is a reason for that. The broken down body is just the end result of us not listening to the messages that the body tries to give us in order to stop and look at how we are living. The messages may be small but they are there and our responsibility is to listen and act on what they are telling us. That way our body becomes the true teacher that it is rather than a prison to be escaped from.
Well said Elizabeth – our body is not the enemy. Learning to listen to and heed the communication it gives us every day is essential for true health and wellbeing.
Hi Elizabeth, and not only does our body become the true teacher that it is, rather than a prison to be escaped from, but also the relationship and connection to our body that we form, by listening to and adhering to the messages fed to us, continues to build a confidence and an acceptance in ourselves that allows us to engage more openly with others; completely countering anxiety and nervous tension. This has got to be great for the health of the body.
It offers a multitude of lessons – the lessons of how not to repeat that which made it less, and the lessons of how to live its potential in full. The first are deeply healing, the second are evolutionary. Indeed both are on offer all of the time.
Very well said Elizabeth; indeed many people see their bodies as prisons, and when something does go wrong i.e. they get a serious illness or injury, a lot of people go full steam ahead with fighting the disease thinking that their body is the ultimate enemy (when it’s not!!)
Indeed they often do Susie. There is even language for this including ‘battling’ ‘fighting’ ‘survivor’, and the list goes on. These very same words are also used in relation to war. What has happened that when we are offered such a great blessing from our bodies to stop and heal that which has not been true for us to live, we are supported to go into battle against it, rather than working with the body and all that it is offering?
Yep! the destructive momentum battle applied to all areas of our life – sport, health, work, relationships – exposed for what it is. Thank you Penny.
Very well said Penelope. Going into this ‘fighting’ mindset is actually the opposite of what our body is trying to offer us. Illness and disease, as well as accidents and injuries are some of the biggest ‘STOP’ moments we could possibly be offered, and to override this and go into ‘I must fight/survive/battle this!’ makes our bodies even harder, and even sicker.
Yes, I see this everyday too, Elisabeth. It is “normal” for people to disconnect from their bodies and to seek and accept that all the “help” they need is from an external source and not from within. It is so freeing once we realise and feel the truth that our bodies are expressing and take responsibility for that.
“Our bodies are Heaven made visible “- such a powerful statement which says it all really.
Beautifully expressed Elizabeth, our bodies are not our prisons and yet we rail against our bodies expecting them to do impossible tasks while we ignore what they truly say to us. Yet they are our greatest friend, a loving friend that says stop, this is too far and hence the illness / accident. They are our very loving parent of us, and when we heed our bodies we get to see and feel so much more of what is going on around us. As Liane says ‘they are heaven made visible’.
‘We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that enhouses us all.’ says it all Liane, and yet we resist, convinced we know better when all the while our bodies know the truth and show us the truth of our resistance, it’s futile.
That is so true monicag2, our minds can be arrogant, convinced they know better when really our bodies know the truth.
I have spent a lot of my life out of my body and thought the mind was what was important. I didn’t realise it until I really felt it deeply what it was like to be truly in my body. So having ignored my body’s wisdom for so long and keeping myself busty to avoid its messages, I now appreciate its teachings, and am willing to listen. I have been given the opportunity to undergo a massive clearing and realise the blessing this is giving me. Surrendering to being all of me and staying in my body is now my way forward.
Your blog Liane is crystal clear and can only come from love and approved by heaven. ‘We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that enhouses us all.’ Why deny it any longer I wonder?
Hi Annelies, I totally agree Liane’s blog ‘is crystal clear and can only come from love and approved by heaven’ I love how you expressed this and yes why would we or how can we deny who we are any longer when we know that we are love, living in love, coming from love.
It is part of our innateness to express lovingly and so to remain centered and in our bodies throughout the day is our challenge. It is one thing to know what we need to do in our daily lives and a whole other to actively act upon it and so there lies the responsibility and the Joy that we are to truly express.
‘It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.’ Beautifully stated Liane. It appears we spend our lives fighting our innate way of being, exhausting ourselves and cutting ourselves off from others. To what purpose?
I agree Michelle it is complete nuts. You ask to what purpose so here come a couple of suggestions – there are more, all equally crazy! One part of us has an addiction to identification so we make up problems that don’t exist so that we can work on them and solve then and get the identification with having fixed it. To deny who and what you are and then try very hard to be something you can only be when you stop trying, keeps one busy and identified in the struggle. Another aspect is our irresponsibility in not dealing with our stuff and both our real and imagined hurts. As part of our personal and group karma there are things, hurts and energies that we have taken on and absorbed and / or have to deal with and let go of, before we can connect to who we truly are. Healing is a process of surrendering to who we are and letting go of all that we are not.
It seems there is no purpose to resist love, only an avoiding of feeling our sensitivity and dealing with getting hurt at times and dealing with that right then and there when it occurs.
As I lay here surrendering to the massive clearing my body is offering me, your words in particular are a great support and confirmation. “A body that is brought back to this harmony is a body that will not ‘let you down’ because all that happens to it from this point is in accordance to the bigger picture, the greater plan, our true home and any illness experienced will simply be a clearing of what has been allowed to accumulate from being in resistance to this pull.” My body will not let me down and I can no longer deny its wisdom. I realised today I have been trying to keep up with humanity’s momentum of continuous and seemingly more intense abuse. I must stop and allow it to go rushing past me, for indeed I am not missing out on a thing, no matter how much it entices me, my body is pulling me back in time and not forward.
Our bodies are naturally designed to respond to love, we resist this so strongly and yet anyone who comes across this beautiful blog will see that there is nothing airy fairy in what you write Liane, just an eminent truth. Anyone who has felt that spine tingling, heart warming feeling of seeing brotherhood in action, people coming together and working as one will identify with what you write, we are made of love which is why we respond so positively to acts that are loving, as it is what and who we are in every aspect of our being. Any action that is not in line with that love stands out, thus illness and disease are always a marker of our lack of love. Painful sometimes but beautiful in its simplicity too.
Liane, I felt to comment on the line that seemed to be there in my focus as soon as I accessed your gorgeous blog. “It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” , and this is something that I have been uncovering for myself recently while endeavouring to reveal why I was often feeling so weary during the day, even to feeling a little overwhelmed by all that is around us all of the time – and of course your words in that sentence presents exactly the reason as I did discover. What an awesome revelation.
Recently I was reading a blog and I realised the indignance I felt as I was reading. But was the blog truly indignant? No it wasn’t. I was bringing this to what I was reading. The indignance was in my body. I wanted to eat something so as not to feel this, and I did, but what I ate didn’t seem enough (it was actually a very small amount), yet I knew that I could not cover up the truth with food, so allowed myself to be with this realisation and this discomfort that I felt for realising how long I had held this harmful energy in my body and how it had been called on, time and time again, in order to feel better than another and thus protected.
Our bodies hold everything for us, they are like a treasure trove, and if we are able to see all these uncomfortable aspects of our personalities and how they are energetically held in the body and have the willingness and dedication to treat ourselves with the understanding that these realisations bring and to hold ourselves in love as we do this, we can clear these harmful energies. I can now read the same article and that indignance is not there and I feel that this energy is definitely on its way out of my system.
This is a great comment elainearthey. As there is no such thing as coincidence what you have expressed here was timely for me to read as I am grappling with a feeling in my body after talking to someone and was avoiding the jar of nuts so I could feel into exactly what was coming up in me. Then I read your comment and this confirmed what I was feeling so thank you for sharing so openly.
“Our bodies are not prisons made of flesh, far from it. Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.”- I lived most of my life not in my body, fearing the world and rejecting and fighting my body. Thank God I met Serge Benhayon and some amazing esoteric practitioners who made me realise who we actually are and that our bodies are truly made from divine particles of love. This has changed the whole perspective of life for me, and our purpose.
When we live the amazingness and glory we are our bodies are spacious and there is a joy in us which is flowing through the body and this energy supplies us with vitality.
I am learning about this wisdom and by aligning to an energy of truth. The school for me is Universal Medicine, listening to my body and life in general.
Yes kerstinsalzer15, my body is and will always be my greatest teacher. I deeply appreciate Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine for bringing me back to the Truth of this.
Why can I only click on “like” for what Liane has written? I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
I love the notion that we are just a mix of particles and it is our job to take care of the particles so they can function in the best way possible – to serve humanity.
“Our bodies are Heaven made visible”. So gorgeously said Liane, and we need to treat them as such.
Beautiful quote to pick out Rebecca and so true. I have spent many an hour studying human biology and am forever inspired by the immense intelligence and design of the human body. No one part of our body works in isolation, everything multi-tasks and its essential components interact to support a whole range of systems. The intelligence and sheer beauty of design is definitely Heaven made visible, God’s sculpture made manifest.
Somehow only in this moment when reading your comment rowenakstewart, did I realise why as you I have always been deeply fascinated by the human body. I have always felt the sacredness it carries and the divine design it holds.
Gorgeous Liane. ‘Our bodies are not prisons made of flesh, far from it. Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world’ – this is pure gold. Millions, possibly even billions of people live with the mindset that their body is a prison, feeling like there’s something ‘more’ out there but they are stuck behind bars of flesh. What you have written about reconnecting to yourself & body, and thus reconnecting to God and the ‘all of us’ is incredible – groundbreaking stuff, that could help a whole lot of people find their way.
Absolutely Susie – very well said – this is revelatory and miraculous and yet so simple and possible for all.
Humanity is blessed by your words Liane and these are words that need to be widely known and understood by us all.
Yes, Susie, these are the kinds of things we need to be talking about more, as everyone has felt the sense of imprisonment and knowing there is more to life. Our relationship with our bodies could be easily transformed by valuing that we are ‘Heaven made visible’.
This is a truly wonderful blog Liane and one that I could have done with reading instead of ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’ when I was about fifteen. Like many at that age I felt lost, realising that the religion that had been presented to me felt like a lot of nonsense and I really couldn’t see the point in school and doing what everyone else was doing, getting stuck in a job for life and then dying without discovering what or why we are here for. It’s so great to know there is a divine purpose to life that makes perfect sense.
I love your analogy, “It is a bit like having the ability to sing like an angel but never opening your mouth to sing.” This explains so clearly what happens when we hold back what our innate truth is. Holding back the expression of our true beauty is painful.
Yes Rachel, is it not deeply painful if we allow ourselves to really feel what holding back does to us and everyone else? This responsibility I have to the whole to bring all of me really is very joyful. Nothing heavy about it, the opposite indeed.
Yes and during these times of holding back we do not realise it is simply ourself and what we are, Love, that we are holding back from, hence the feeling of struggle which adds to the belief of ‘not being able to sing’ !!
Beautiful Liane, so simple and so true! Expressing the love we are and allowing all our particles to vibrate freely in the divine constellations they are part of, is an amazing known reality, and our true health and well being that Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine are bringing back to humanity.
Even if I know my body is made of His particles, I don’t always allow myself to live from that Divinity. This blog is super important for it supports me to accept what I already know on a deeper level. Thank you Liane and thank you all who have responded to this blog so far. I will return to it to keep confirming the Divinity I am from, and I am forever part of and expressing.
I agree Katinka, I have re read this because occasionally we need a reminder that we are made up of particles of a far greater body of love.
I must admit, even I re-read it for a reminder and I was the one who wrote it! I love how truth works, it’s an ever-living body that never dies, it just keeps asking us to go deeper and deeper. Every comment here is testament to this and to our true glory.
These simple but profound words are the gold that we have been presented by Serge Benhayon, and have dramatically changed the lives of many people, me included: “we are love and if we choose to not live this love, then we invite a whole manner of illness and dis-ease into our bodies simply because: It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.”. I know that I resisted love for so long and as a result my body showed this in so many ways; from illness to disease and also injury. Today I do not resist love any more, because I know that I do so at my peril.
I agree Ingrid, thousands of people have started to live more loving lives through the inspiration of Serge Benhayon and his presentations. As a result of that we have witnessed many what you might even call miraculous huge healings with people becoming much healthier and vital – I am one of those and this link shows images of some more: http://www.unimedliving.com/the-livingness/before-and-after/the-before-after-photo-diary/the-before-after-project.html
Yes Ingrid to resist love does imperil us and we can choose at any moment if we do or don’t. And no matter what our body will show us that love in how it reacts to us not being love.
I love the way you present us with the choice ‘fight or flow’ – sometimes I don’t realise I’m fighting my natural self because hardness and control was so deeply ingrained in my whole way of being. It is only when I surrender and allow myself to feel my own fragility, let go of the control of my mind and truly feel my body, that everything flows naturally.
True Carmel – this is a great description of what is happening at every moment at every level in our body – a fight against Divinity and all that is True, or surrendering to the great Love we are and know.
I agree Carmel, I feel surrendering is super important, it’s like giving ourselves permission to be fragile and delicate and feel what’s there to be felt instead of fighting it and controlling.
Loved the opening line of perceiving the body as your enemy, many times before Universal Medicne I had treated my body as if it were the enemy and much worse trying to get away from it, although no matter how far you run or what you do it’s always with you. That part bugged me the most, until I realised there’s so much more than what we’ve been told.
‘It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.’, This is something that Serge Benhayon has been saying for a very long time. It more and more makes sense and is proven, in my own body, to be the truth.
We don’t even need to be love as we already are love. All the stuff we do is to avoid or reject the love that we already are and that is indeed exhausting and makes us sick!
Yes, I know this to be true too. And yes, my own body supports the truth of this as well.
Serge Benhayon has not only been “saying” we are love, he has been presenting it by way of living example. Through the living example of seeing someone actually living the truth of who they are, people all over the world are starting to connect to and live that truth within themselves.
And he is one of the most claimed men I have ever come across, he is the living future of all men and this is something to be celebrated.
For sure Nicola – what Serge Benhayon presents is a ‘livingness’ – an actual lived way and not just wishful thinking.
Your article is alchemical Liane. More than the words you have written I feel something greater and deeply stirring in your message.
I agree Dean – alchemical feels spot on to what is expressed here! I have battled in the past about accepting I am part of something bigger – but the truth is, this is just my self indulgence in not wanting to feel how responsible we all are for each other – and how connected we all are. I have not wanted to feel this because this fact does not match how the world lives and it hurts to see the inconsistency between what is true and what is the norm. But this blog just captures the enormity of the universe. It has become clearer and clearer to me that this is the way to bring more truth to humanity – and it starts with a single person claiming this fact.
I completely agree Dean. What Liane writes carries an energy that speaks directly to my body. Reading this exquisite blog brought tears to my eyes, tingles to my arms and joy to my heart even before my mind got involved.
I agree Dean – i am feeling my place in the Universe, the divine order of which I am part, and my inherent responsibility to reflect heaven on earth with my every cell.
Liane delivers the greatness of the truth from which we all come, and does so with the most simple, human voice. Yet its resonance goes beyond that which our ears can hear and eyes can read. It goes straight into our body, shaking apart everything that binds us to the lie – pure alchemy.
Thank you Liane for making it sound so simple and real.
Fight or flow (not fight or flight). This is a new paradigm Liane.
That changes everything. I can feel the difference in what you have written and what Liane has presented here between ‘fight or flow’ and ‘fight or flight’. With flow there is a commitment, it asks for commitment, consistency and to be present with ‘flight’ it suggest to run away, not be responsible, accountable or who we truly are.
Wow Liane I only just realized the depth of your humanity shaking blog. It has been long accepted that our bodies get sick and break down but I never would have guessed the cause was because we are living in denial of our divine origins. It makes sense to me that our particles belong to a harmonious universe and that we have been given the freedom of expression to appreciate, align and return to the glory of heaven, no less.
‘Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.’
One day this will be studied and accepted as the wisdom by which we will live.
Hear hear Rachel, one day it will be known that the root cause of all illness and disease, is the great discomfort of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.
Another exposing point you have clearly made Liane Mandalis, without judgment, with reference to alternative ‘healing’ modalities…’Some would seem to work for a while but the same complaint would resurface years later, either with twice the fury or disguised as another condition altogether.’
Even though the alternative approach seems more natural or holistic than that of mainstream medicine, both are still missing the understanding of energy and who we truly are. They only treat the symptom for relief and not the cause of why that relief is needed.
I have found that there are various approaches in the main stream and complementary medicine that claim to look at a more ‘holistic’ approach. For example clarifying that emotional stress has led to a physical symptom. But without understanding the nature of energy and who we truly are, the ‘whole’ view of the person is not possible and the next layer of symptoms clarified (eg stress in this example) is just the next level of symptoms. The way Universal Medicine takes our understanding and relationship with illness and disease to a whole new level.
‘It is a bit like having the ability to sing like an angel but never opening your mouth to sing.’ What a great analogy this is Liane for I can feel everyone loses out when we hold back love.
And this unnatural propensity to hold back Love is in part affected by the fact that we have misinterpreted what Love means. We often think that Love is to be silent, to not make waves, ruffle any feathers and just to be kind and nice. But sometimes the most loving thing to do IS to let someone fall flat on their face or say something that they need to hear, even though it may feel unsettling.
“Thus, the choice to ‘fight’ or ‘flow’ is ours to make, in every single moment and with every given breath.” This blog is an absolute gift and the final line allows me to see that I can choose to live the love that my body calls for at any time, regardless of what I have chosen in the past. It may not be comfortable to face the way I have treated my body in the past, when I live in line with the love it calls for, but I can also feel that love can heal it all.
“choosing to live the love that my body calls for at any time”, I find that beautiful and I am more willing than ever to respond to the gentle and clear calling coming from my body.
It was inspiring to read a blog on medicine that talked about Love and God as its main principles. I loved your analogy of the body responding as the ocean responds to the moon. It takes away some of our mental arrogance that we are somehow separate or above the cycles and pull of the universe. With the current rates of physical and mental dis-ease this is well worth considering.
I agree Fiona, it is glaringly obvious that it is very arrogant to negate the fact that we are under cycles that are far greater than what we can see. Nature is a beautiful reflection to us.
If we are heaven sent and our particles are made up of those that come from God it makes sense that if we resist the love and the natural pull back to God then we are going to feel denseness in our bodies and perhaps even experience illness and disease. True health is about aligning with the grandness of where we come from.
My agreement to your blog Liane I can feel in my whole body – I am responding to your words and spoken truth here, it is beautiful and alleviative to feel. And it is just as healing to read about the fight (against being in the body), you have experienced and describe so well, because I can deeply relate to it, as it is also healing to read about your coming back to the truth of our divine body of love. This sentence is so gorgeous: “Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” Your blog brings it to absolute clearness, that the outcome of the fight against being love is exhaustion.
“Our bodies are not prisons made of flesh, far from it. Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.” Very beautiful Liane! Thank you for sharing so much wisdom in your blog.
Agree. Whether we experience our body as prison or as our vehicle to express divinity lies in our hands/choices.
I Love this sentence “Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.” The way we choose to live can bring the true love of God into a tangible reality or not.
This is the absolute truth– “It takes more energy to resist love than to be it”. Could this be why we now have an exhaustion epidemic because people are resisting who they naturally are, which is love.
What I also love about what Serge Benhayon presents, is that all aspects of life – even the ones we may assign to hope, faith, luck – become so understandable in the most basic sense of practical daily living. It becomes obvious that we are forever co-creators in all aspects of life. Nothing happens by random and without our input. We are far more powerful than we care to admit. It seems the reason these basic truths elude us, is because we prefer to avoid our awareness that we are all intimately connected with everyone and with the whole of the Universe, and to ignore the responsibility we hold within this. Our body is far more honest and it lets us know, as does the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom.
“My whole life I have felt trapped in my body.”. I’ve actually never – or at least in the recent years – wanting to admit that my own Love and Joy actually come from my body. That the only one who can choose to connect to the love and joy is me. Why I choose to not connect to it, I don’t know, because only recently I’ve actually felt (!!) how relatively simple it is to choose connection. My chest-area feels so tender and delicate when I choose to connect to it. As well as I can feel that a lot of Joy emanates from here. So I am worth connecting to. It is even a responsibility I feel to choose that connection. Where I have to watch myself is that I use this as a burden, where it’s not, it’s a loving responsibility. A response to what my body has to offer.
‘Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.’ Thank you Serge Benhayon for bringing forth this truth. Knowing that I am love is one thing, rediscovering the love within my own being, transformed me forever.
I’ve just read this again and am astounded by the way you express this Liane about the way it is. It is so simple to read and understand and makes so much sense. If we are made of love and we don’t express it, then we are going to get sick. Our bodies don’t belong to us, but the particles of us are of the Universe and must be in accordance with this. Genius!
“true health comes from not overriding or resisting this but accepting and allowing our bodies to respond to what they so naturally are designed to respond to – Love.” This line struck me in re-reading this blog. Love is something that creates such a strong bodily sensation when it is felt, it is really unlike anything else that we feel. And I am talking about true love, with no boundaries, no expectations. Not the love that is actually physical desire, and not the love for an object or a sports team or a television show.
Love of humanity, Love of the way the seasons change and what they show us, Love of a baby for their delicateness, Love of ourselves for letting out the gloriousness of who we really are for everyone to see, Love in the stillness of not needing for that Love to come back to us because the expression of it is all that is required and sustains itself forever.
That Love is felt. It is felt in our body, not our mind. It fits no picture that we have seen on a movie screen or read in a book. It confounds the brain to conceptualise it, because it is beyond just words. It is life. And life is Love.
Love that analogy: “It is a bit like having the ability to sing like an angel but never opening your mouth to sing.” What we are has to be expressed to serve mankind. If not so – we live abusive.
I so loved reading your blog Liane, such pearls of wisdom that I will be back to read. I loved this sentence, it felt so confirming …no need for any striving or trying. “Our bodies are not prisons made of flesh, far from it. Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.” I saw my body as an impediment, it felt restrictive and I would get frustrated when it didn’t respond to all the demands I put on it. ‘Our bodies are Heaven made visible’ I so love this…imagine if this was taught in school, all we had to do is remain ourselves and express truth and live in a way that is gentle and loving, and heaven is there…simple, easy, no need to do anything.
I really appreciate coming back to this blog, Liane. Even reading the title is a beautiful reminder that we are and come from love.
‘However, true health comes from . . . accepting and allowing our bodies to respond to what they so naturally are designed to respond to – Love.’ It doesn’t make sense that we exhaust ourselves by resisting this love, but that is exactly what so many of us are still doing, travelling forward in the momentum of our past instead of evolving from within.
I can’t get enough of this blog Liane! It’s absolutely gorgeous. “I have spent a lifetime fighting my body and perceiving it as some ‘enemy’ that needed to be at best conquered and at worst abandoned.” I actually felt at one point, when I became very ill that my body had let me down, it was my body’s fault, it had failed me and by association, I was a failure. However, I had spent a lifetime ignoring my body, not letting myself feel anything and certainly in denial that it was in fact my way back to God. But since Universal Medicine and being introduced to the God given modality Esoteric Yoga, I have reawakened my relationship with my body and am learning to listen and importantly, to act on what I feel. The real pain being as you say Liane (and the root cause of all illness and dis-ease), was the pain of “being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love. “
Yes. The real pain is to avoid the love I am. But the good and graceful thing is: we are always just a choice away from it.
Now Love.
now love…. now love…. now love…. 🙂
Love the simplicity of that choice Sandra
..it could be so simple. I don’t have to know everything or to find out what is right. Just to choose love and surrender to who I truly am. Now Love.
It is a very different way to look at pain, when we feel it as coming from this place of not living the love that we are. It completely changes the way we would address it, or go about ‘curing’ it, knowing the underlying ill.
Agree Amelia it’s enormously painful to chose something other than the love that we are, once I felt this kind of pain, I did get a very different understanding of what it means to look after myself and what the results were, ie our illnesses, when I chose to not make loving choices.
Wow Liane – this is completely different approach to health and well being. I love the concept of whether we fight or flow with what is naturally there impulsing our particles. Thank you for sharing this.
Do I fight or flow with what is naturally there impulsing our particles is the question I want to raise with myself Lee. I know that I have been fighting for long times, but until I start to attend presentations and workshops from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, I never have realised that I was fighting, as this was the life that was presented to me how life should be lived. Never I have been told before that I could also choose to live according the impulses from my body, a body that is Divine in its nature, a body that knows how to live the Divine on earth. So go with the flow is what I choose my life to be, and by doing so I can feel that there comes another purpose with it in my life, the purpose of building this love on earth and to share my way of living with the world.
Dear Liane this is a beautiful appreciation for ourselves and our bodies and who we really are thank you for this simple knowing. I can relate to all you say and love how you share ‘Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.’ how beautiful and what a piece of gold. And also that ‘it takes more energy to resist love than be it ‘ is so true Thank you.
I am really appreciating how much you are offering here in this piece, Liane. “The real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love” – this sentence echoes deeply in my heart. Thank you, Liane. I am on my way home.
Yes exactly Fumiyo, and it makes life so simple, too.
I have spent all of my life, and probably many lives in the past, until a few years ago swimming against the current of life. When we accept the truth of why we are here, it is definitely not a giving up but a letting go of what is not truly us… life does just flow.
‘I have spent all of my life, and probably many lives in the past, until a few years ago swimming against the current of life’ I can relate to this sjmatsonuk. Like you, I found that swimming with the current of life based on honouring our true purpose, brought flow into my life.
I agree sjmatsonuk, ‘when we accept the truth of why we are here, ”life does just flow’, this is what I have found in my own life, when I accept my purpose and don’t doubt what I feel, life is very simple and beautiful.
It appears that the majority of the world is swimming against the current and it’s a very crowded, futile and exhausting place to be. To accept “the truth of why we are here” brings you to a place of acceptance and appreciation, and from this place everything flows with ease.
So true – I love what you have said here about ‘letting go of what is not truly us’. More and more as we connect to the stillness and love within, the layers that are not in accord with this gently fall away, and greater flow can be enjoyed and lived.
At the hairdressers this week the owner of the salon in answer to me commenting that he notices everything going on around him, and attends to all the clients there (not just the one he is working on), told me it is important he observes and tweaks where needed to maintain the flow of the business. We do innately know that “flow” in life is essential.
Your beautiful, knowledgable and very wise blog provides so much material to ponder on; thank you Liane for sharing.
“Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love”. This pain, and sadness, is very deeply felt. Time now to take a deeper level of responsibility and express the love, consistently and to all.
For some it may seem too much to take responsibility for all the choices we make, but when we consider the emotional pain epidemic the individuals in our world suffer from, there really is no other choice that makes sense. Either we live a daily life of any where from the mundane to hell or we start to look at why life is the way it is and start to appreciate who we are and all we bring.
Exactly Toni, well said! It is our own choice, to appreciate who we are and all we bring. I used to think that there should always be more that I had to do or to prove. Life is simple when letting all those silly expectations go.
This is revelation: It takes more energy out of the body to resist the love we are, than to simply be it. That means only in being ourselves we are energising our bodies, that should be taught at schools and everywhere. Thank you Liane for this.
I absolutely love what you’ve shared here Liane and found a number of things you said stayed with me since reading the first time. There were many lines that struck a chord, but one in particular in reference to the body… ‘Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.’ Having been in the health industry for over 25 years, and always having a great deal of focus on the body and it’s level of wellbeing, had I come across what you’ve shared here, my approach would have been entirely different. There is a great deal of disregard in our will to ‘have a good time’ or ‘a good life’, regardless of the impact on the body, with our heavenly aspect being relegated to the back blocks and beyond.
So very true Jenny. The heavenly aspect of our bodies in society has all but been forgotten and conveniently ignored. When we consider that it is via our bodies that we connect to the universe and its magic ‘having a good time’ is anything but this. Having a good time now is learning day by day what it is to honour my body and discovering the magic of God, the Universe and all that this brings.
To honour our bodies – where can people learn this, if not with Universal Medicine? Simple tools to reconnect to our body that are life changing – it should be brought to our kids and all adults the same.
Yes it’s quite a flip from living life seeking the ‘good time’ in whatever form we deem it, to feeling those exact same activities as something entirely undesirable. Not by any idea or judgment, but by how they feel when partaking.
It’s amazing how we can fool ourselves by not honouring our bodies. By choosing to be ignorant and arrogant about the fact that all (!!!) the divine wisdom comes from and through the body. That we made a mess about life is the exact indicator how we treat our bodies. I clearly remember how I didn’t accept that I had a body in the first place, I denied my re-incarnation for over 37 years. And of course feeling the denial hurt, but felt so freeing when acknowledging this. The body is giving me much much more than I could ever imagine before. And the miracles and presents it offers keep growing every day.
Loud and clear Liane Mandalis, and with so much love. It is so true : Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.”
You just summed up why we become so sick, and ill.. Without this acceptance and understanding it is not possible to stop the ill. Much more articles like these are needed, we need to explore this more further. Thank you Liane.
This is what true medicine is.
Very true Danna, we do need to explore this more, and more articles like this are needed. We all feel the truth of what Liane has written so clearly in our bodies and others will too, even if their minds may get in the way (at first), their bodies will accept right away.
‘It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.’ It is so true and resisting love causes havoc with our bodies and all our relationships.
Very true Jane, it takes a lot more force to resist the very thing we come from – Love. I say.. feel it, embrace it, and express it, in all that you are!
Listening to our bodies and hearts starts the way to harmony and flow within our bodies, and boy o’ boy do our body’s enjoy and respond amazingly to harmony, tenderness and care.
The love that we are and our bodies are made of and the love that we hold for ourselves and express to others measure the true health and vitality in our bodies, in other words the closer we are to expressing our divinity and love we are from then the closer to true health and vitality we will be.
“Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” This statement Liane is the key to all our woes and health aliment’s and our humanity’s endless research into illness and disease, this is what Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine Present, their message may fall upon deaf ears for many do not want the responsibility of what is presented, but there will come a time that the desperation and sheer number in illness and disease reach that people will come back to this truth.
In God’s grace we are, and to resist this pull takes a huge amount of energy, we then suffer exhaustion, then try to fix the exhaustion with sweet and stimulating foods and drinks, health practices, healer etc. etc. And on goes the endless cycle. Until we come back to the fact that we are from love and live that love, then things start to change, thank you for your deeply inspirational article Liane, it make absolute sense as to the whole picture of what goes on with our bodies.
Wow, divinely expressed, simply explained.
“Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” Once we get to feel this truly in our bodies, we will understand and start to make different choices.
Love the simplicity and truth of this line:
‘It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.’
Very true – what a difference living like that everyday would make to humanity
Hear hear Elodie, very powerful in it’s simplicity.
‘Whether we accept it or not, our bodies are forever responding to the Universe that we are an innate part of, no different to the way our oceans respond to the moon or our trees respond to the wiind.’ Such a beautiful way of illustrating just how connected we are to everything, even if we try to shut the connection down…it’s always going to be there, lying underneath the thick wet heavy blankets we’ve placed on top of it.
Liane, this is a beautiful way to know our own health: “it is in every particle that we allow to move in tune with this Divine symphony”. Here lays the answer to true health.
Beautiful quote to choose Rosannabianchini, ‘moving in tune with this Divine symphony’ is not something we are raised to do, but with immense support and guidance of Universal Medicine, it is something we can return to. How we move and how we care for our bodies is of utmost importance, restoring a grace and tenderness in all we do works miracles for our health and vitality as Liane can so evidently attest to.
Agree Rowena, and I’m finding that awareness in my own movement and experimenting with a different way to move, one that feels true for my body rather than the habit it is used to, provides the opportunity to move in that divine symphony.
Dear Liane,
You have summed up so brilliantly our condition as human beings and the pain that we go through when we don’t ACCEPT our divinity and the love that we are.
I, too, have suffered from anxiety, panic attacks and exhaustion to the point of not being able to sleep and I have done so pretty much all my life. And I, like many, have been fighting with my mind against those health issues in the belief that the mind/mental energy solves everything, until I came across Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine and realised that I don’t need to fight at all. All that needs to be done is to accept our Divinity and embody the Love that we come from. The body is the key, not the mind.
I have also loved your quote: “Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.”
With Love, Maryline.
Yes marylinecd, we are so often taught that positive thinking can be a solution to our problems. The body is still totally ignored until it becomes sick. I am finding that it is full of wisdom and that when I listen to my body and respond accordingly, I feel great.
For most of my life I have felt comfortable in my body, there were times where I listened to it, as it guided me to take note of the messages it was giving me to overcome the need or trying to fit in and please others. I have often loved and cherished my body, and from this love, I couldn’t seek to abuse it with any toxic substances or choose to physically exhaust it. I now appreciate my acceptance to loving my body has served me to stay more connected with who I am throughout my life.
From reading your blog Liane, it reminds me to continuously listen, care and love my body more and more as my body is forever communicating to me what is needed next to bring a deeper level of love. As I allow the expansion of love in my body the messages become more and more refined and the true power and intelligence of my body will be lived. I am learning to reconnect to its true intelligence and continuously reconnect to my ‘body of love’.
Superb blog Liane, thank you. Bringing awareness to the importance of listening to our body is very much needed in a society where abuse is celebrated. When I say abuse, it is anything that is not loving that we inflict upon our body. I love this part, the ‘body of love that belongs to the Universe/God’, by truly understanding and accepting this, we can no longer abuse our body but instead choose to cherish and accept we live in the body of love. Very inspiring Liane.
“…true health comes from not overriding or resisting this but accepting and allowing our bodies to respond to what they so naturally are designed to respond to – Love.” Disconnection from the love that we are is the root cause of the illness and dis-ease we suffer from.
Thank you Liane, for everything you have written here is confirmed by you undeniably expressing Heaven through your body. We can all feel Truth in our bodies and with reading your words my particles have come to life.
Yes – my particles feeling alive, too in reading this blog and all the comments, it feels amazing how it all works on an energetic level.
“Our bodies are not prisons made of flesh, far from it. Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.”
That is a beautiful statement Liane.
True Margaret, the choice is ours to live and express truth – or not.
“The real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” In this sentence alone Liane you have summed up what it is that is causing the ills of the world…….our disconnection to the love that we are.
Fumiyo, I loved your comment and to repeat your words “It’s an incredible blessing that there is someone who is so clearly and simply presenting this truth we have disconnected from for so long, and make it available again for ALL of us.” – and I feel to add, what a glorious revelation it is to even comprehend, embrace and accept this for ourselves and to have the understanding that we are all innately that Love within.
“Our bodies are Heaven made visible”. So therefore we are the caretakers of our bodies and responsible for how much of Heaven we allow to come through and to be expressed.
The proposition that are bodies are heaven on earth is one that many would not align with, but for anyone who chooses to adopt this way of life, and care for the body as if it were sent from heaven, there is a knowing that it is true, for with that care, love and responsibility, everything changes.
I love the understanding you bring to this Heather. There will be those who do not align to this as you say, but this does not mean it is not true. It can seem unbelievable, but so many seem to feel that there is more to life than what we see – an entire industry of seeking has been built up around it – so it makes sense to suspend disbelief and ‘adopt this way of life’ because in doing so, the body is un-numbed and the truth is then felt.
I certainly would not have seen my body as heavenly in the past. However the more I cared for it, the more I came to know this as an undeniable truth. Although I still have times when I do not respect my body or treat it as divine, I know without doubt that my body is my small but integral part of the universe that I have been given to nurture and care for.
Thankyou Liane – a very big picture look at illness and disease.
“The choice to ‘fight’ or ‘flow’, is ours to make, in every single moment and with every given breath.” – I love it Liane. So much is attributed to ‘fight or flight’ when we study the explanations offered for the way our thoughts, behaviour and our body can reflect a lack of harmony. ‘Fight or Flow’ provides the real story and a much fuller picture that allows us to take responsibility for our choices.
Beautifully put Golnaz, fight or flight reduces our divinity and grace to the animal kingdom and instincts, and we are connected to something much more stupendous, universal and all knowing, should we choose to “flow” with that.
So true Thomas. When we go into (and often these days stay in) flight or fight, we are in survival mode, a little ant scurrying about life and shut off from the knowing that we are incredible divine beings supported by the immense love we are held in.
This is such a great graphical picture of how we do live when we choose to abandon living in accordance with the magnificent ‘flow’ that we are part and instead get caught in surviving life. We end up reducing “our divinity and grace to the animal kingdom and instincts” and “scurrying about life and shut off from the knowing that we are incredible divine beings supported by the immense love we are held in”.
Liane your words are of majesty and truth. I didn’t want it to end. You have given us a clear choice – to fight or flow – and this line sums it up “Whether we accept it or not, our bodies are forever responding to the Universe that we are an innate part of, no different to the way our oceans respond to the moon or our trees respond to the wind. So, how do we respond to this call – do we fight, or do we flow?”
Yes Lucy, the “fight or flow” is very familiar to me too, Fight is resistance and flow is acceptance. Even in those two words, their energy and sound, I can feel how to resist is to obstruct the natural process of being a child of the universe, or put it another way, a son of God; whereas the word “flow” carries the energy of eternal movement and connection to all things, and if we allow it, expands our consciousness to embrace whatever the body is showing us. A beautiful blog Liane, I feel I shall return to it again and again, there is so much to ponder on and absorb.
Simply shared flow is acceptance and fight is resistance. Flow carries the energy of movement and expansion, resistance carries energy of contraction.
I love this part you’ve highlighted too Lucy. It is a very clear choice indeed.
A great call Lucy, and I like this analogy, simple and easy. Bring this into a practical level you can really see and feel a difference when the day flows or when there is a fight-taking place. Understanding that we are part of something huge, and that we just need to accept and allow this to unravel is an enormous step forward for how we tend to live our daily lives as a whole.
Fight the tide you may, but it’s near impossible to keep it up – in the end it all eventually flows.
Absolutely true Jaime, therefore it’s pointless and exhausting to resist.
I agree Lucy, it is simply a choice and it also exposes the reason why it is easier to fight it as we are so used to making the same choices that it almost feels normal and a burden to be alive, when deep within we are pure love.
What a paradigm shift I have experienced since relating to my body differently when I am sick, physically and/or emotionally, since embracing the ideas, concepts and ‘knowingness’ presented by Serge Benhaon and Universal Medicine. Previously I used to think that something was wrong, had to be put up with, got over with or fixed. Now when it happens I look to see what it is reflecting in my life: what choices or actions have I taken to result in this, I have moved forward in my life , something that had been appropriate in my life was no longer so, and that it is my body’s way of releasing something toxic from it. In fact, being sick or in discomfort is my body’s way of healing itself and restoring harmony and if I work with it, rather than resisting it by judging it as something bad, the flow and release is so much quicker and less stressful.
I have a very different approach to illness these days – I use to suffer through it just waiting for it to end. Now, similar to you Jonathan, I support my body to deal with the illness in a very loving and caring way and look to see what lessons there are for me in the experience.
Yes Jonathan working with my body to restore it to harmony is so much more loving and responsible than my previous ways of ignoring and rejecting the many messages it was giving me about how inappropriately I was choosing to live.
It is so common for people to be annoyed or disappointed with their body when they get sick. The response is often as you have shared Jonathan, to get it fixed as soon a possible. I was certainly like this, and would hate to have to rest when I was sick. It has brought a far greater depth to illness and health, to understand the body is meant to be fuelled by love, and illness is the clearing and healing of that which is not love.
Thank you, Liane, for spelling out how crazy it is for us to hold back who we are, denying the stupendous glory of what we are all a part of.
You are so right that our bodies are not the problem stopping us from being love… it is that thing between our ears that thinks it knows what is best for the body. When we feel what it needs… is all that is required.
The mind thinks itself to be so wise, and yet it encourages us to drink alcohol to excess, smoke cigarettes, and take drugs. Where is the wisdom in that…
Absolutely Heather, how can we call ourselves ‘intelligent’ when we smoke and drink when we KNOW this is a poison! Wisdom is not something we can claim and call our own but is something to be felt and lived, I am understanding this more and more.
So true sjmatsonuk. That thing between our ears that thinks it is so great and can override what we feel in our bodies is all that prevents us from living the love that we are.
Yes, it is our choice of whom or what we listen to. Is it our body? Is it love? Is it our mind? Is it our emotions?
“Feeling depleted, depressed, disconnected (but from what?)” – this reminded me: some years ago before I encountered Universal Medicine, I had an experience which I could only describe as ‘connected’ but didn’t know what/who with. It never crossed my mind there was something inside my very being that I could connect with. I thought love was something I had to look for outside of me, in a relationship with another. I didn’t have a clear understanding of my body being the entry point to the entire Universe. Before Universal Medicine, these kind of things were mystical and not practical to me, I felt I somehow had to wish, hope and pray for it to happen. It’s an incredible blessing that there is someone who is so clearly and simply presenting this truth we have disconnected from for so long, and make it available again for ALL of us.
Superb comment Fumiyo, I too believed that love was something one could only feel by connecting to another person and that that made them and hence me ‘special’. Serge Benhayon delivers all the tools to support us to re-connect to ourselves and our ‘entry point to the Universe’. He demystifies the entire process, takes out the airy fairy, delivering the teachings very much with his feet on the ground and his heart open wide, not a hope or a prayer in sight, just some plain honest talking and a huge amount of universal intelligence. When we re-connect to the love within our bodies and listen to all the information our bodies can give us, we realise that we are all special, equally so and hence it is easy to connect to and love many, many people, to make all our relationships inclusive rather than exclusive.
Absolutely Fumiyo, it has been through Universal Medicine that I have re-connected to this truth that love is innately who I am, and not something i need for someone to give it to me. What’s more I have embraced the practical principles of applying and reconnecting to that love via a deepening relationship with myself and my body. If it were not for Universal Medicine I too would be lost in a miasma of emotional love and not love in its purity as i know it to be today.
Beautifully expressed Fumiyo and Rowena! As I read both of your comments I feel an enormous appreciation of not only Serge Benhayon, but also of both of you! The awareness we now have means life, as we know it has changed forever. We know who we are and can share that in every moment of our daily lives – without being perfect. Thank you both for sharing the truth in a way that expanded me and confirmed for me that my body is the ‘entry point to the Universe’. I so love that phrase.
Beautifully written Rowena, and I could not agree more. “Serge Benhayon delivers all the tools to support us to re-connect to ourselves and our ‘entry point to the Universe’. He demystifies the entire process, takes out the airy fairy, delivering the teachings very much with his feet on the ground and his heart open wide, not a hope or a prayer in sight, just some plain honest talking and a huge amount of universal intelligence.” This universal intelligence we can apply with great success in our everyday lives, our bodies love it, and so do others around us.
I can relate to this to Fumiyo…experiencing feelings on connectedness but not knowing what it was, simply for the fact that we’re not taught to feel our bodies or taught that we are part of a much bigger picture and that everything is connected.
Agreed Fumiyo. Before Universal Medicine I also was clueless about the fact that love was something inside of me. I had a few ideas of what self love meant in terms of self care but they were way off the mark and never delivered what they promised, leaving me constantly seeking outside of myself for love. Now if I feel lonely or empty I know that I am missing ‘me’ and that I have shut down somewhere to the bigger Universal picture.
Fumiyo, I agree wholeheartedly with everything you have expressed here. I also,was looking constantly outside of me, thinking God and love can only found outside of me and I am at mercy if I receive it or get connection to it or not depending on the moods of God or the person I am expecting to receive love.
I knew that God resides in us but these were mere words not having had anybody as a rolemodel showing to me how I can access this wisdom in a practical way.
Serge Benhayon is for me a true role model showing me how true love is lived in a practical way and I feel deeply blessed to know him.
I always thought that those rare ‘connected ‘ moments where I felt at one with the universe were mystical too, Fumiyo, that there was some sort of ritual I needed to discover to have more of them, and the question was always: “what’s it all about?” I appreciated what a great ‘piece of kit’ my body was, and thought I was taking care of it. And then I heard, really heard, what Serge Benhayon was presenting, and knew I’d had no idea, that I had been dancing to society’s tune all my life, and all I had to do was reclaim responsibility for the care of my body, the body of love I share with humanity, God and the whole universe.
This is the whole setup in life, to have people not even be able to consider that there is something so powerful to connect to within our bodies. We are constantly told that anything we can desire is ‘out there’ – Love, God etc. Whereas it is all available to feel through the humble body.
“I didn’t have a clear understanding of my body being the entry point to the entire Universe”. I love how this is expressed and it helps me appreciate all that Serge Benhayon has presented and the changes this then brings throughout our lives, as previously I had no understanding of this fact, which helps me understand why I was so disconnected and disregarding towards my body, as I was doing my best to avoid the responsibility of being the Love I am and to simply connect to this and live life from this essence, and how this is a choice for everybody. Thank you Fumiyo.
The feeling of being disconnected Liane, “(but from what?)” is something I have felt as familiar most of my life. It initiated quite a bit of searching and the power and simplicity you share inspired by Serge Benhayon is absolutely the answer, thank you for sharing this.
The presentations Serge Benhayon delivered on Esoteric Medicine were a turning point for me also Liane and it was then I was truly able to embrace Universal Medicine as the missing piece of the puzzle orthodox medicine is looking for. I too sought the vast array of alternative therapies that only ever gave short term relief to my symptoms and never treated the whole being. Plato was onto something there about treating the whole being and not just the parts that scream the loudest and Universal Medicine is leading the way in how this can be applied in our everyday lives.
In my understanding, true and complete healing can only occur when we embrace true religion – the reunification with Soul that is our whole being.
This is a beautiful understanding of how it is our choice whether we flow in harmony with the Universe or in conflict with it that you share here Liane. By doing so you make it understandable why we can be in suffering and by gaining this understanding it is then up to us whether we do something about it or not.
Realising how much energy I was wasting by fighting the ‘flow’ and love that is innately here for all of us has been revolutionary. I’ve started to make sense more and more to tiredness and exhaustion that I feel, that would not have previously have made any ‘logical’ sense. I can ‘lose’ energy on becoming emotional, reacting or digging my heels in, but it is now easily regained when I connect back to my body, and walk the steps I need to in order to live from the love I know again. Our bodies are magical configurations, and there is much still to learn from their wisdom.
‘Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.’ Liane, this sentence is so beautiful and shows we always have choice to live our true selves.
This blog has lots to learn and to revisit. I love this sentence: “the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” What if your doctor would tell you this, and give back the responsibility to you, instead of prescribing drugs to only numb the pain?
Prescription: Be the love that you are and stop messing around with pretending to not be love. Only come back to see me when you have started to be more loving.
Liane this is absolutely Gold! There is so much Wisdom written in here I don’t know where to start. We are so intrinsically entwined with God, the stars, nature, our brothers/sisters, and the universe – and there are still so many who believe otherwise. “It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” This phrase is at the core of all our Illness and Disease. What we do each day to resist and override being that Divine Love puts the body into disharmony – naturally.
A huge disease we suffer from is seeing pain and discomfort as a failure or a problem. When we follow this thinking we actively choose to miss out on our bodies real wisdom. We sell it short because in truth our bodies are the most amazingly engineered systems constantly responding and letting us know what’s true. See from this place its clear that they are naturally geared to show us our true place in the body of God’s love. Thank you Liane, with love and appreciation for our bodies.
Well said Joseph. “A huge disease we suffer from is seeing pain and discomfort as a failure or a problem.” Our body is often seen as a annoying thing that gets ill or cannot go without sleep which results in not being able to do what we please. Though, it is so strange when you think about it to act like that as we are living in our bodies! Isn’t it then our very most responsibility to deeply care for and love our bodies as that will also result in a way more lovely feeling and responsiveness in our bodies.
Liane, you describe things so well – I am aware of a tension in the body – a reflection of when my particles are being pulled to be part of the universe and I resist this pull and instead work very hard not to be the love that I am. It is an awful feeling to fight oneself – like you have so eloquently expressed: that feeling of knowing and wanting to sing out loud, yet holding back the voice of heaven. It is certainly a start to be aware of this, and then to be able to let go of the attachments that ‘make us’ hold us back. It is never about perfection, but it is about a learning that comes from an understanding of ourselves, just as you have shared. Thank you Liane!
Lovingly understanding that we have all chosen ways to not live the Love of God that is innately within us is key. We cannot be hard on ourselves about this, as it only serves to perpetuate the cycle of fighting ourselves, and surrendering to the love that we are.
So gorgeously expressed, as always Liane. Any self judgement or self criticism is an instant flogging we give ourselves. It does seem like the strangest thing to fight what is innately who we are, and so we can shake our heads and not go to the understanding, hence this makes way for the flogging. However if we allow the understanding and the space to come back to the Love of God that is within us all, it is an inevitable part of the process for us to Re-turn.

What a beautiful blog Liane I love it what you say … “do we fight, or do we flow?”, we have spent lifetimes fighting against something that cannot be contained, and that is the expansion of our particles. Whether we like it or not, we are evolving back to who we truly are, and the pain and tension comes with the resistance to that. We are afraid of connecting to our awesomeness when all along this is what we truly crave, crazy isn’t it?!
Yes well said Sandra… it is beyond crazy when it’s laid out in this way and exposes the recklessness and irresponsibility of the part of us running ourselves in this way. And we continue to fight what cannot be avoided in the end… and remain in the misery and tension of not living the love we are.
Boom Boom ! : “It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.”
Your blog is pure medicine, Liane, an anti-contamination bomb composed of love and truth hitting into the heart of the whole dilemma we have chosen to indulge in, clearing every lie / illusion in an instant.
Boom Boom to you too Alex… superbly said!
Boom, boom indeed! We have developed so many ways to resist our own love, letting go of them is the way to just let that love be.
Quite bewildering how much we can hold on to what is loveless. Obviously we have invested so much into our own creations that we cherish them more than the one thing that delivers everything we actually wish for – love.
Liane, I am feeling the depth of what you have here expressed in my own body and it is a call to ‘embody’ more the love that I feel is there to be lived. Thank you.
I love the authority in your writing Liane and I know that the same authority lives within us all.
Great Jinya, our authority makes us sit back and can allow things to happen, because we do not have to prove anything any longer, but connecting to the inner strength that is there from a lived inner knowing.
I just have to read the title of your article Liane and my body gives a sigh of recognition, and melts. To know that my body belongs to God, to the Universal Laws, makes my place in the world so much more simple and straight forward than I could have ever imagined. I am realising that all I need to do is to the best of my ability live in a way that respects the Divine in my body – dissolving away the decision making the prevaricating and the self abuse. The love that I am made of is the compass. Simple.
Liane, you have made the choice clear and simple – to fight or flow. The fact that our bodies are bodies of Love and we can choose to acknowledge that truth, which then asks we live that love, or we deny it and choose dis-ease. We have the opportunity to claim the power of that love and live and express in joy every moment – What is so hard about that?
What a profound statement – “We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that enhouses us all”. If we connected to what was being said in this sentence we would never feel alone ever again.
Yes I love that statement too Elizabeth. This you do not hear often in our current world, though it is something I feel I deeply longed to know.
I guess every sense of being alone is us choosing to be in separation to that which never leaves us alone, so while we are forever held in God´s love we can anyway reduce ourselves and our awareness so much that we can have the perception of being alone.
Gorgeous Liane. I can feel the embodiment of love you hold in the words you write. I feel it is about a surrender, to give up the fight and the resistance to this enormous love and allow who we truly are to be known, seen and felt by all. Why is this so challenging, why do we long to run and hide? Is it that we are fearful of our own power and light? Those such as yourself Liane lead the way showing us all it is very possible and a perfectly normal thing to do.
I sometimes can feel the fear of my own power, that is when I long for food that does not really support me. When I do this I get tired and have less clarity around me and I am not aware as much what happens energetically, as I used to be before.
Kate I love how you have countered the question of why we run from our power with the normality of it when it is embraced within ourselves. It’s worth repeating – living our power is perfectly normal. It is the contracted and reduced way the majority of us choose to live that is abnormal. There is such a huge attachment to individualism in this world we have created which does not belong in the Universe, and as we are connected to the Universe all the time (even if we think we can’t feel it or are unaware of this) on some level (conscious or unconscious) we will all be able to feel that we will need to let go of individualism to fully step into the flow of the Universe. I don’t feel we fear our power at all, I feel we know it and actually wield it in resistance to the natural flow in order to maintain our individuality. To resist the unfathomable magnitude of the Love of God takes an equal force, so we are not the fearful innocents here.
For sure we are not the ‘fearful innocents’ we pretend to be. I understand the fear of our power just like you simply saying it differently – the moment we embrace our power we let go of individualism as true power is only in oneness coming from oneness and serving oneness.
Ah yes, well nominated Lucy. We do know our power but our fight to remain an individual is the game we love to play. It does seem pointless though when we can never be truly be separate to the oneness we all belong to!
So true Alex and Kate – true power is only in oneness which we can never be completely separate from as it is where we are from.
“True health comes from not overriding or resisting this but accepting and allowing our bodies to respond to what they so naturally are designed to respond to – Love.” This jumped out at me and it’s so true. Our bodies naturally respond to love. Thank you Liane for that pearl of wisdom.
Thankyou Liane. Our body indeed becomes a prison when we treat it with the disdain that we do. And yet it need not be so. Our body is our home, our house, and there is no checking out for a holiday – at least without serious consequences. Thus we best consider how we look after the one thing that is ours and ours alone.
Yes Adam, our bodies are our first home. How we look after it is paramount to our well-being.
What a beautiful blog. ‘Thus, the choice to ‘fight’ or ‘flow’ is ours to make, in every single moment and with every given breath.’ It really is that simple. Do we stay in the grace of God or do we step out and play ball with creation?
It makes so much sense doesn’t it, that if we we resist our natural rhythm we will be draining ourselves and we will exhaust ourselves unnecessarily.
The question of whether we fight or flow is one I can pose myself, especially in moments I’m clearly faced with that choice; when I feel anxiety rise. To flow is to choose to let go of my ‘it’s all about me’ and surrender to the universe and allow God’s love and support. Anxiety is knowing I am disconnected from this flow and am harming my body in the process, putting a lot of energy into fighting the flow. It’s no wonder I feel exhausted!
Wonderful to have the choice so clearly expressed, the choice to choose to flow so clearly felt as letting go of the fight. I feel my fight is to be an individual, but when I do choose flow I feel who I truly am; making clear the fight to be individuated a futile attempt at stopping myself knowing the far greater awesomeness of I and who we truly are.
Clinging onto thinking that attempt to be an individual in the sense we aren’t connected to God or others is like investing in that sandcastle withstanding the incoming tide and frantically trying to dig deeper trenches to stop the water from taking the sandcastle down.
What is great Karin is that in those moments when the choice is so much in our face and we make the loving choice, then suddenly everything falls into place and struggle ceases, whereas up to that moment the struggle seemingly had such a grip and hold over us. It shows quite how powerful love is.
I love the question you ask. Do we fight or do we flow? Most of my life I have spent fighting my body, what it presents and represents (even though I would like to ‘think’ I haven’t). More and more I am appreciating my body it feels like it is very much part of the Universe with a depth of Love and Wisdom which is endless .. we just need to be willing to let go and go there. The thing is even no matter how hard we fight, in the end the flow will be for all.
‘Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.’ These words are a beautiful reminder that the choice to live that is entirely ours to make.
Liane – thank you for your sharing and your beautiful example of how you have connected to the love in your body – you put it so powerfully when you say
‘It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.’
And wow are some of us masters at resisting. I have certainly experienced the tension of trying to be what the outside world expects of me, ruled by my head and numb to my body – and wow how exhausting. But to know and understand energy, to understand essence, has opened my eyes to a whole new way of living that has responsibility and love at the top of the list.
So true Hanna, it is time for us to become masters in love and serving people in equalness.
I so agree Liane – like you I felt stuck with my body. From very young I had no sense of appreciation or love for myself and my body and this challenged me more as I numbed it out so that I could not hear what it was trying to tell me. I had moments when I had realisations but I was unsure what they meant. No one around me seemed to do anything but criticise and denigrate their body so I felt this was normal. It was not until I began to listen to the words of Serge Benhayon that I began to make connection to my body and to see that it was there to inspire me to change and unfold – and appreciate all that I had been given. I am now learning to treat my body with more dignity, love and respect and to listen to all that it offers me day by day.
Liane, what you say is true. If we reject our body we reject God. If God is love and our bodies are held within this body of love it makes sense that we have to love and accept our own bodies. Anything else goes against the grain of all the love that is possible.
Liane, you offer a third and magnificent choice to the those presented by psychologists and stress theorists: in addition to fight or flight we now have FLOW. Flow comes from the loving way in which I care for and nurture myself and rests on a solid rhythm that supports me.
“We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that enhouses us all.”
This is so massive, it needs rereading, then reading again, and once more for good measure. To understand and accept this breadth and depth of love that surrounds us, supports us and enhouses us is no mean feat. An allowing of this to be felt in the body is what is called for. Thank you.
What an awesome article Liane, “do we fight, or do we flow?” The quality of our health is indeed in our hands and in our breath and in our walk and in our words; in everything we think, do and say. I have certainly felt the pain of not flowing and resisting my innate abilities, it is a daily/moment by moment check in of what I am choosing. Fight or flow. A step towards flow creates more flow.
You make some great points here Liane, as I have often felt trapped within my body and have also seen it as the enemy on more than one occasion. It is worth considering the many ways we can be destructive with our bodies and how this plays out in our day to day relationship with our body – I am finding that the more I care and acceptance I have of myself, the less likely I am to want to be harmful to myself in any way.
This is very beautiful Liane, ‘Whether we accept it or not, our bodies are forever responding to the Universe that we are an innate part of, no different to the way our oceans respond to the moon or our trees respond to the wind’, this makes a lot of sense to me and helps me understand why our bodies get ill if we choose to resist the natural pull to be loving with ourselves and others.
Awesome part you highlighted Rebeccawingrave, when I read this blog every part of it makes sense to me, it is deeply inspiring, exquisitely expressed and brings a greater level of appreciation to my body.
How many of us have felt this way at some point in our lives? – “I rejected love, I rejected myself, I rejected the body that I had come to view as my prison, and…I rejected God.” This blog offers the soothing balm of truth to a society that has lost its way, and its connection to the eternal pulse of God’s love within our bodies.
Love this Janet…gorgeous to feel the truth of your words which are very inspiring.
Sometimes I feel holding back using the name god in public pages like this, but I do know that god exists. I feel very humbled and can feel his love he has for all of us, equally.
My body is reflecting me the choices I made – because it has to live them. So, how I feel with my body is how I feel with my choices…
It is such a simple equation Sandra. Choice, consequence, effect. How we feel on a daily basis is a direct result of our choices and basically they come in two formats: a choice to align to the universal intelligence that resides within all the particles that make up our bodies or a choice to ignore our divinity and do what ever we want with our bodies regardless of the outcome. How we feel is a direct result of what we choose to align to, universal intelligence or our own self indulgences.
That’s the point Rowena, “universal intelligence that resides within all the particles that make up our bodies” – so our bodies are connected to the Universe. No need to progress into space because space is in us! We are searching so hard to find answers outside from us, when all our answers, all we ever wanted, all we always longed for – is in us.
The body does have to live all our choices, a fact that many will not want to really know, and yet regardless it is true.
And when I do not want to know about my choices but get it reflected from my body, I become annoyed and angry or frustrated. So I create my own misery out of a graceful mercy.
“No need to progress into space because space is in us! ” Ahh, so beautiful Sandra. All the zillions that have been wasted on space travel when the entire Universe is within us. When I contemplate this I feel the magnitude of who we really are. Perhaps this is what Humanity cannot handle. We have reduced ourselves down so much that the vast majority thinks of us as being just flesh and bones – part of the animal kingdom, so to consider that we are part of and connected to all of the Universes, that our bodies are beholders of the All, blows our tiny minds. Also, if we accept this to be true, then we also have to take responsibility as Heather has pointed out, so there is a definite investment in remaining ignorant to the fact of our limitless grandness.
This is amazing. Personally, I felt not just like an angel not singing but somebody who kept marbles in my mouth to make sure that only strangled sounds came out because whenever I didn’t have marbles in my mouth the first thing I would do – figuratively – is vomit. All I had to do was wait for the heaving to subside and realise, actually, everything is pretty good and then rather nice, new sounds came out of my mouth and I built from there. Nice.
I really love the part when Liane talks about the particles of our bodies being a part of the universe. This to me brings a more responsible perspective on health care and the personal choices we all have.
I agree Shami; it certainly brings in the bigger picture and shows how our choices don’t affect just us.
When we bottle up our love and refuse to express, it we ferment like Champagne in the bottle waiting to be uncorked and to breathe, or living a life under constant pressure.
I agree sjmatsonuk, and funnily, most perceive this as a normal way to live, to have those spurts and moments of bursting out and then living the rest of the time under the pressure. But through much of the work I have done with Universal Medicine, I have come to understand and experience that life does not have to be lived like that – that there is a way to live that allows us to consistently express the fullness that we are and not live holding back what we know to be true – what most around us crave to be reminded of.
This is a great analogy sjmatsonuk and Henrietta. I’ve done this – bottle myself up until the internal pressure is too much. Then there is a release in one form or other, be it emotional or physical and often numbed with alcohol. Once I’d gassed -off then I’d go through the cycle again. I did this for nearly 50 years. When my body was just about at serious physical break down I chose to start living a different way. This is The Way of the Livingness, ancient wisdoms that support an understanding of true well-being and vitality, and the turn around is nothing short of a very everyday simple miracle.
I used to liken the way I felt to a corked volcano. The pressure I felt inside was intense and at times all i wanted to do was go to the top of a mountain, tilt my head back and scream. It was only when I met Serge Benhayon and was introduced to Universal Medicine that I began to understand this excruciating pain was self-inflicted. I had been fighting the very essence of who I am and in doing so calling in a force so strong that at times it was hard to bear. Liane has expressed it so simply here, “It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.”.
Yes it reminds me of the way I used to live sjmatsonuk. Saving it all up for the weekend where I would get very drunk, or the big build up to holidays like Christmas where I would be totally irresponsible and stuff myself silly and drink way to much alcohol. Then I would go back to work in January feeling really awful. My so-called periods of letting my hair down were not about me expressing my held back love though. It was more about numbing myself to the misery of the life I was living. Learning to live a life where I am expressing in a loving way towards myself and other is an ongoing commitment that started with me being inspired by the presentations of Serge Benhayon.
Wow this is a beautiful all knowing blog, bringing the truth of what is really going on for us all so simply, I love it. The fight against or the flow expressing our divinity is our constant choice as you say “the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” Thank you Liane for this amazing blog.
I used to feel trapped in this physical body for a long time and I so didn’t want to be here, I had been fighting life all along – which only resulted in more misery and struggle. It just makes sense to simply accept the fact that we are indeed in this fleshy body and that cannot be changed (for now) and the way to change how I experience it, starts with how I treat that body I live in.
I experience it as much more than an acceptance of my body. It is actually an extremely useful tool and support to deal with things I could have dealt with a long time ago and to do so very quickly.
“We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that enhouses us all” – this makes me realise how even when an emotional/physical pain may not be felt, us not expressing in our true essence, in its fullness interferes with, and results in a friction of a kind in the entire Universal flow which never stops offering an unfathomable scale of love, that could manifest in a form of illness and diseases, natural disasters.
You have indeed written a very beautiful and powerful blog Liane. you express with such clarity and wisdom, which I very much appreciate.
“Our bodies are not prisons made of flesh, far from it. Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world”. These words have inspired me to look, feel and care more deeply for this physical body of mine.
Hear hear, thank you Liane, absolute divinity in expression, love it.
“Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” If we truly understood and lived this wisdom…..expressing from a body of love within a body of love, we would know the joy of true freedom.
Liane your blog so beautifully confirms the all encompassing nature of Love – the absolute body of Love we are held in and the Love that equally resides within us. When we express from this Love we know truth and life flows in a harmonious rhythm and order, within our own life, and with the whole of the cosmos. Love is the absolute universal medicine.
These are profound words Victoria: “Love is the absolute universal medicine” …so true and very inspiring at the same time.
Liane this should underpin all psychological therapeutic models from now on! – “the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love”.
This brilliantly sums up the underlying core reason behind all unwanted behaviours, in adults, children and even newborns.
It is not that hard to come to an understanding of how our body is made of the same particles that make up what is around us therefore our body belonging to the Universe, but why is it so hard for many of us to make everyday choices that reflect and support that truth?
Fantastic blog Liane, thank you. It’s beautiful to consider that all the particles in my body belong to the universe – it’s like having a great guide already there within us, and all we need do is surrender to that.
I agree Fiona it is awesome when we stop to consider this. It takes away any pressure or desire and drive to think we need to be something or better in any way. As Liane says “It takes more energy to resist love than to be it” – in fact it is exhausting to resist love.
It is an awe-some consideration… and the fact that our particles are all interacting with all the other particles within and outside of us means in every way we are all interconnected and if we do resist the love we are it actually affects all of us.
Liane, a beautiful sharing for which I thank you. I have not thought of my body as a prison, but there have been times when through illness such as anxiety my energy has been zapped, and I felt like a rag doll for months at a time. It has taken me a long time to start really nurturing my body and learning to truly appreciate and Love it. Thanks to Serge Benhayon’s teaching of The Way of the Livingness.
Hi Rosyln, I love your comment here. Something that really resounded with me from Liane’s writing was her understanding that the tiredness and exhaustion (the rag doll you describe) comes simply from the fact that we have this tremendous love within us and we choose to hold it back. I love the simplicity of this and felt it more so then ever before. I once asked Serge Benhayon why I was feeling tired at work and his response to me was very simple. “Holding back is exhausting”. At the time I couldn’t see how this could be. I have been so ingrained to believe that I’m tired because I’m doing too much, when in truth it has nothing to do with this, and everything to do with HOW I am being in what I am doing (all of me in expression and love, or not). Since beginning to understand this, I am able to do so much more in my day without feeling exhausted, and when it does come in, I know now that this is for me to look at where I am holding back love.
Bringing it back to the simplicity of the quality of how we are in what we do, and whether we are holding back love or not, takes away all the drama and complication of what we do.
Great comment Anna, bringing to light the truth of exhaustion…..holding back our love.
Thanks Rosemary, I feel there is of course more to understand on this topic, and I am sure our bodies will continue to reveal this to us.
Liane – your blog is a beautiful and brings much to ponder upon in every paragraph.
Thank you!
You have written a very beautiful blog Liane and I absolutely saw my body as a prison, a very tight box and sometimes still experience it this way, although I know this is an illusion and that it is me holding back my love. Like you say ‘It is a bit like having the ability to sing like an angel but never opening your mouth to sing.’ And I absolutely agree ‘physical pain serves as a marker for the love that we hold back.’
I agree entirely Annelies. And what’s more our bodies are in so much more ‘pain’ that we are even aware of. I feel this frequently, how my life, choices, motion and lies are masking the truth of what my body is actually feeling and saying to me. And I’m not even drinking coffee or alcohol nor eating heavily…..
This is poetry! Our illnesses are the unexpressed communications with God.
Liane, your writing knocks my socks off. So many wonderful insights and quotes here – way too many to list, as it would just be a duplication of your already well written blog. So if I am to leave with only one, it has to be “It takes more energy to resist love than it does to be love.” What a gem to take into my daily life, moment to moment.
Gayle what a great insight, sentence to reflect on. The depth of “It takes more energy to resist love than it does to be love.” can transform our lives. The question then comes up – why is that not the normality? Something that I will enjoy pondering on throughout my day.
This sentence highlights the utter craziness of where we find ourselves as a humanity. It is no wonder we are all so sick, exhausted and given up when we are constantly calling in an energy that resists us being our natural selves. The question you ask David is a really important one as we all absolutely crave love yet resist it all the time. Is it possible that by resisting love we can hang on to our individualism, yet by being love we lose that identity in becoming a part of the much bigger whole and that there is a part of us that doesn’t want to handle this?
“I have spent a lifetime fighting my body and perceiving it as some ‘enemy’ that needed to be at best conquered and at worst abandoned.” This part brought me to a complete stop Liane, and I have been asking myself ever since I read it yesterday ‘how do I truly perceive my body and how do I relate to it?’ It feels time for great honesty now – thank you.
What I often react to in my body is the tension I feel when something is not right. Rather than viewing it as an opportunity to observe it and read what is going on, I tend to react to the tension, believing myself to be in the “wrong” thus fuelling more tension and hardness to the original tension felt. It is easy to understand why then we feel the body is the enemy, as we are constantly compounding the tension we feel. When we can start to view the tension as a positive thing, allowing us to evolve more deeply back to the love we are, then this different view supports a paradigm shift in the relationship we have with our bodies and the tension it will naturally show us when things do not feel as loving as they could.
Liane, in this moment as the kookaburras begin their morning calls, the joy of truth in what you have here laid before us confirms for me the ignition felt in my body upon acknowledgement of of the particles that make it up. Thank you for the resonance with which Truth resounds through your every word.
Realising that rejecting my body equaled rejecting God, the Universe, Love was a huge STOP moment – this couldn’t have happened for me without the man in the collared shirt, either. The thing is I didn’t realise that that (= I rejected God/the Universe/love) was what I was practically saying whenever I got drunk, whenever I disregarded my body, whenever I tried to wangle my way in and manipulate a situation. I had no idea of what each and every choice I had ever made meant and made impact – I now know that it was a very crafty lie and I did in fact know what I was doing.
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it” – when I first heard it, I thought ‘Who on earth would ever want to resist love!’ – but the trick is I was so very disconnected from the truth of what Love was, I didn’t even know what ‘resisting love’ entailed and even though my feeling of being trapped and suffocated in life was ever present I pointed my finger at everything/everybody but my self as the Cause of my misery, it never occurred to me that I had a choice to make – that to surrender to the fact that my body was of God, the Universe and that I was love, and that there is an order to which the all belongs to. And I am learning that it is a choice that I have to make every moment, with every and each of my breath.
A beautiful sharing Liane – thank you. It is so true that when we do choose to surrender to the truth of Love, we come to realise and know that our bodies are a Divine gift, a marker of truth. A gift for us through which we are guided to live Heaven on Earth, in harmony with the flow of the Universe, the Love of God and all that this encompasses. When we connect to our bodies we can feel, understand and know the Love we are, are a part of and belong to, and our bodies are the vehicle through which we express and share this Love. And so our bodies reflect when we are living in harmony (well-being) and when we are not living in harmony (dis-ease) with this natural flow. Through the presentations and the life lived of Serge Benhayon I am constantly inspired and feel empowered to choose to live in the flow of the Divinity that we are and are a part of. As I too now realise that -‘the choice to ‘fight’ or ‘flow’ is ours to make, in every single moment and with every given breath.’ – beautifully said. I choose to be in and breathe the Oneness of the Love that we all in essence are.
And I love the comment about the disappointment when first hearing Serge Benhayon speak that there was not a feather or tattoo in sight. I too was quite taken with how “normal” he looked when I first saw him. Yet, something about him was so very not normal!
Beautiful Liane. Knowing you and having watched the years of fighting to the unfolding of realising that “our bodies are not prisons made of flesh, far from it. Our bodies are Heaven made visible” has been an incredible thing to witness. Once we stop resisting the love that we are it is truly amazing what is possible.
“Our bodies are Heaven made visible….” What you have expressed here, Liane, is gold, describing how divine our bodies really are. If this was shared with us at a young age the level of illness and disease would be so low as we would treat the body with such love and respect.
“Our bodies are heaven made visible”. The death nail of all cosmetic surgery.
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” What I find interesting is to look at this game changing sentence from a very practical, simple, logical viewpoint. Specifically the two words ‘resist’ and ‘be’. Just the difference between those two words proves everything that Liane is saying. To ‘resist’ requires a force, a counter force, a push or a pull (direction is irrelevant). It is an exertion and an exertion will use energy – that is a scientific fact. But to ‘be’….well…I don’t need to go on. So really the question is whether we accept that we are love. Because if we do, then there is nothing to do other than live that love.
You make it very simple and practical Otto and I love that, as in resisting the love of God I have introduced the force of complexity in my life and the idea that living the Divine in practical life was not possible as only reserved to priests and alike. But the opposite is actually the case, living love is possible in everything we do and how we are. In fact it is the resistance to this love that creates the struggle in life, that not should be there, but by holding on to this belief we keep ourselves in the false understanding that life is a struggle, and looking from this perspective we anticipate our way to love should also be a struggle. But fortunately I have found that this is not true, that the struggle only comes from the resistance, while when I accept love in my life, it is simply there in all its fullness and prosperity.
Yes Nico. Absolutely. It is very interesting to read your comment; specifically; “….living love is possible in everything we do…” I know exactly what you mean, but even the use of the word ‘possible’ illustrates that we don’t fully accept it. We are holding it as a possibility. You could argue that I’m getting too deeply involved in semantics, but I can feel an ancient pattern in the way we express like this (and I am absolutely the same). We are love. Fact. No possibility of not being. So the possibility should surely be about Not living love. Do you see what I mean? It is an interesting exposure of the patterns that we will correct. One day soon, we will talk the other way…about the possibility of us not living love.
Yep Otto, thank you you for this elaboration on the ‘possibility’ of living love. It is great to expose this as it shows me that I have invested that much in a life of not living love that over time this ill belief has been ingrained in my being, in such a way that I am considering it ‘possible’ to live love instead of saying that I can and do live this love because I am. And yes, soon we will be talking to other way around, about the possibility of us not living love as we are correcting these patterns by our way of living.
This is so great Nico. It’s everywhere this stuff. What we have accepted as a truth means that we have to make huge corrections just to return to the actual truth. That’s one thing. Crazy enough on its own. The bigger problem is that we then put these huge mountains in our way.
Yep. I can surrender to the love I am and get a good flow supported by all the love around me or I can resist it and get exhausted by fight against my natural state of being.
Great point Otto, is it our lack of acceptance of the fact that we are love that we struggle with surrender so much? By fully accepting this truth we can simply just be who we are.
Through simply being we will have to be love, it actually can’t be any other way.
It sounds like a resounding choice to choose the “flow”.
What a struggle there is in trying to conquer our body, seeing it as an enemy is like a self created prison. We can instead marvel at the intuitiveness of the body and what it presents to us in every living breathing moment. Working as it does to create order to our cellular make up, we can either be at one with our body or we live in constant struggle, seems like an easy choice really. If I strain a muscle I can now accept that this is a consequence of my behaviour and not bad luck, and that is an infinitely more empowering way to live than to curse my misfortune and blame myself for my body telling me it needed a stop.
Having been annoyed with my body for getting sick or pain, I haven’t appreciated what a God send it is to have a body that registers everything that isn’t loving or harmonious. Imagine if we didn’t have bodies that called us to love – how out of control would we be! I know I’ve let it get to painful aches and illness to bring me back, but it doesn’t have to be that way – I can choose listening to my body and choosing actions that support, not bludgeon.
Liane I love what you’ve expressed especially as I’m feeling how out of shape my body is – it’s aching and letting me know I’ve held back. And so true that it sure does hurt not expressing the love that I am. So, so glad I no-longer blanketly see my body as the enemy, sure times when certain attitudes pop up that I can’t just get away with treating it as I would like but I love noticing those moments so I can dis-spell them. Like the attitude that i’m too sensitive! Sensitivity is something I can being to nurture within my relationship with my body. What a beautiful purpose I can choose for my day today. Thank you for the inspiration.
Liane this is so beautiful, only someone truly embracing the magnificent love that they are could write something so wise and majestic. More please, I didn’t want it to end.
Lianne, this is a wonderfully healing article. Getting to feel that “We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that enhouses us all” gives us a relationship to our bodies that is 100% different from the way we so often treat and run ourselves. I could very much relate to your health history and have found connecting to the fact that the love of God, my inner essence, is there to be expressed through my body, has meant that I have over time (and continue to do so) made very different choices now about the way I live, eat, sleep and relate – I couldn’t agree more that knowing God has been a Way towards true health.
The bit about “having the ability to sing like an angel but never opening your mouth to sing” hit me like a frying pan in the face. This whole blog is calling for me to sink deeper into my body and be more consistent in my connection.
‘It takes more energy to resist love than to be it’ ~ this sums up your entire article Liane. So simple and so very true.
Haha…’not a tattoo or feather in sight!’ That’s what I love about Serge Benhayon. He doesn’t need to dress anything up or go to any lengths to prove who he is… He is an ordinary and very humble man who is actually delivering in full what others seem to promise but can never follow through.
To fight or to flow? That is the question. Resistance is absurd! Thank you dearly Liane for another spectacular delivery of truth that will be read over and over and over again.
So beautifully explained Liane. We can come back to love with any breath. Absolutely awe inspiring.
“Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” This rings very true – holding back who we are is what hurts the most.
We hold ourselves back to not feel our hurts or get hurt and by that we incredibly hurt ourselves. Absurd that we do not consider simply being and living just who we are – no hurts needed.
So true Annie, ‘holding back the love we are is what hurts the most’. When people understand that this is the key, so much illness and disease will disappear as we create our own reality.
Beautifully expressed Liane, it is so easy to sabotage ourselves (in the flight from Love), by being reckless and extreme with our bodies and then wonder why things go wrong or as you say, we feel let down by our bodies, when in fact in every moment the body is communicating exactly what we need to understand. Getting to the heart of why we resist the Love that flows always, and how we resist that Love, begins the arrest of all those harming patterns as we start taking the steps back towards the Truth of everything we had turned our backs on.
Yes Annie, there is a great unravelling when we start taking the steps back to truth and live more of the love we are… and the body is right there with us every step of the way.
We are angry at not being able to get away with our reckless ways, we want to have our cake and eat it too so to speak and we will try, try and try again until our fight becomes clearly fruitless. To become honest and responsible with our choices we are able to live a life full of joy and freedom we never before thought possible.
Even though I hadn’t consciously thought of my body being a prison I can totally relate to this notion.
In all respects our bodies can be seen as a burden, a broken tool that doesn’t play its part to give us what we want in life.
However… as you say Liane “Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.”
I just want to pin this saying onto my wall!
I feel this is one of those divine articles written with a true purpose of brotherhood. Helping us to sink more into our bodies and the moment we do that, we can feel the Oneness of life, each other, God and the Universe. It makes our hurts look so small and insignificant, with a realisation that they are being carried to stop us feeling this great love that we are.
Thank you Liane for this divine blog.
Reading Liane’s article and your comments, MicheIle, I can feel the enormity we are. I can feel that my essence is much bigger than my body and I can feel that this essence never is unloving to our bodies, but firm, dedicated and focussed on truth and love.
Wow, what a blog! Reading this allows me to feel the truth of what you have clearly expressed here more deeply. Instantly, I feel my body relax, allowing me to feel the anxiety with which I was holding myself in.
‘We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that enhouses us all.’ Reading this line brings me back to a humbleness as a gentle reminder that these bodies in which we dwell are ‘on loan’ from the universe, a vehicle from which to express the lights of God that we all are.
Esoteric Medicine has changed everything about what medicine is for me. That life is our medicine (both good and bad) is so obvious – but it wasn’t until Serge Benhayon took to the stage and presented it in its fullness and its simplicity that the lights really went on for me. Now I know that my life is my medicine and that the health industry and all it entails is a support to that and not the panacea or the answer.
Absolutely Helen, I also have a much broader view of what true medicine is since listening to Serge Benhayon’s presentations. To know that all my/ our choices matter and how we live each day directly affects my/our health and wellbeing is empowering.
Our bodies come from Love and our bodies love Love! Why would we want anything different for them? When we look at it like this it seems ridiculous that we treat them badly in any way at all.
Beautiful blog Liane, and one that I will read again. I could feel myself allow the flow more as I read. It’s amazing how we think we are relaxed until we feel a deeper sense of release. So much of what you share makes sense to me. This part stood out in particular this morning – ‘we are love and if we choose to not live this love, then we invite a whole manner of illness and dis-ease into our bodies simply because:
It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.’ I am feeling this for myself more and more these days.
I had this gorgeous experience this morning – waking up at 3 with this idea that was already there in my head of how life is simply deepening our connection to our soul (or God). Nothing complicated, no razzmatazz, just that. That is the flow you refer to, it is effortless and no wonder all the other games and complications cause an interruption to the flow (which multiplied by the number of years we live then will undoubtedly cause disease).
Your comment caused me to ponder on a revelation I had a while ago. “Being” in life is what is important and by being we connect to our soul. But we can’t sit under a tree and meditate all day to connect with our soul. So we have “doing”. The doing is so we can express the being. We can get so caught in the doing and think that is what life is about. But the doing is there so that we can express the being that we are.
Yes Doug, I too sometimes skip the being and whilst I can accomplish a lot, it all feels a little empty if I forget to add the being into the equation. I can get quite focused on outcome, yet it doesn’t work without the being.
I love this simply, yet profound, meaning of life – to deepen our connection to our soul / God. That really snaps things into focus!
Your writing is very powerful and has exposed the illusion that many live by – that illness and disease is something that just happens to us.. and in doing so have brought self-responsibility to the fore. By accepting that disharmony in the body serves as the marker for the love we hold back and a clearing of what we have allowed to accumulate from being in resistance to the pull of the love we are, we can then choose to live differently in honour of our bodies and the reflection they offer, embracing and expressing all the love we are made of and are from.
So many people resign themselves to being ill, poorly, or weak in the body. It is then accepted. I know people whose bodies need support from past choices yet by no means would you call them sick. Even when people are sick, when they connect to the love that they are, their sickness is superficial and you can still be vital and full of health.
True, Nikki, the illness is often fed by drama. If the drama is gone, joy can be felt equally in a sick body if the person chooses so.
‘It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.’ This has been a huge revelation for me and one I am still working with. I have felt exhausted and depleted and craving sugar, ‘thinking’ I am doing ok but not letting the love be. Understanding that the more we can ‘be love’ the more energy we have for everything, is a complete turnaround from our normal way of living.
So true Carmel, imagine going to a doctor and the first question we are asked is, “have you been love?” The first step towards great medicine, no judgement or criticism just an honest account of whether we have been living who we truly are or not and support to understand the impacts of this.
Your words capture so much, Liane, and urge us to surrender, like the moon and the trees, to the greater rhythms of which our bodies are an intrinsic part. Having also felt my physical form to be a prison in the past, it is so healing to now begin to honour every part of me as a part of God’s body of pure love.
Beautifully expressed Janet, we are all part of God’s body, equally and beautifully so. It is so hard to imagine what has gone so terribly wrong that instead of living the flow of God we live a life of separation and inequality, leading to war, hate, abuse and so much more in a body of poor love. Crazy but true.
“Holding back that beauty and that Divine expression is a pain far greater than what can be physically inflicted on the body and that physical pain serves as a marker for the love that we hold back.”- so true Liane. Our deepest grief comes from our separation to God. All illness and disease is our soul saying we are not accepting the love that we are, and not living it.
What a beautiful way to describe it Monica ‘my body is a vehicle on loan to me to express all the love I am’.
Thank you Liane for summing up the pain of rejecting our bodies so succinctly ‘the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.’ Our purpose is to connect to and express that love in whatever way serves the Plan and once we get ourselves out of the way we are perfectly designed to fulfil that.
We all do and have experienced deep pain and hurt. When we choose to ignore this pain we numb ourselves from the experience to achieve relief. The problem is two fold, the pain we have buried is like the elephant, it never forgets and can stampede back into our life unexpectedly or it can be a tiger with a sore tooth, this can affect everyone near us daily until it is dealt with. When we hang on to all this hurt it also stops the love that is within us being shared with everyone.
This is one blog I will be reading many times. The question at the end, ‘do we fight or do we flow’ is one I’m going to repeat to myself over and over. It’s a beauty! Do I make this body I’m housed in a body of love and harmony or do I continue to add stuff that is not love or harmonious? On paper it’s a no brainer, in so called reality, not so much, but made easier by this very wise and insightful plain shooting blog. Thank you very much Liane.
yes Kevin ‘do we fight or do we flow’ this is the choice for us in every instant.
“Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.” Such exquisite expression Liane. How often to we consider this a truth. I can honestly say for me that I have not, but I am very willing for this to change. I am feeling that if I treat myself this way that I come to understand and know that this is where I am from and connected to always.
I agree Jennifer this is an exquisite expression that encompasses All that we are and All the we are Divinely designed to live.
Thanks for the reminder of how sacred, wise and the enormous amount of love that is held in our bodies. All we have to do is connect to it.
Agreed Joe, a very beautiful reminder of all that is within us.
I am chuckling with joy and appreciation of your redesignating our choices, Liane: not fight or flight, but the choice of fight or flow. Love it 🙂
PS I choose flow.
I was just really feeling this fight or flight synopsis the other day, but somehow it didn’t hit the nail on the head. Fight or flow seems much more appropriate!
Yes – it’s definitely a quote share with all – T shirts, inspirational cards, appreciation cards: “Am I in fight or flow?”
“..the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” I feel this statement to my core, Liane, and I also feel the tragedy of our collective, global avoidance of this absolute fact – and that is not pretty: in fact, it’s madness. I truly appreciate all who are re connecting with this absolute, divine Love. Awesome article- thank you!
It gives new meaning to the ‘fight or flight’ response that is used to explain the panic the body feels when in danger – it is actually like we are perpetually in fight or flight if we are disconnected from love, it just has varying degrees depending on what is happening in our lives! The only way to feel true harmony in the body is to live from love. It takes time to turn around our habitual defence to life and understand that there is a much bigger picture at play, but once the tide has turned, love becomes not only a natural, but a normal way of life.
Love your sharing here Jo…so gorgeous and very inspiring.
It makes so much sense, taking away the complication we can go into with life. “…we are perpetually in fight or flight if we are disconnected from love, it just has varying degrees depending on what is happening in our lives! The only way to feel true harmony in the body is to live from love.” And this also explains that when there is dis-harmony in the body then there will be dis-ease – simple!
So true Jo – ‘it is actually like we are perpetually in fight or flight if we are disconnected from love, it just has varying degrees depending on what is happening in our lives!’ – and tension and unease of this is clearly reflected through our bodies. When instead of this, we can choose to surrender to the natural flow of the Love we are and are a part of and live in harmony with this Oneness.
Your blog leaves me with the word rhythm. I completely get what you are saying here, spot on. I feel that there is a rhythm to be in connection to God, but we can live out of this rhythm, which is where the problems all being. This is no different to the parts of a car engine or anything mechanical for that matter. If any part is out of rhythm, it will break down sooner or later because of the anti-rhythm that is within the whole system fighting against the other rhythm, causing a friction, in the human body it’s called dis-ease.
Yes. Perfect Matthew. I’m with you 100% on the rhythm. It supports me to “flow not fight”. It’s kinda like the skeleton that supports these amazing words from Liane.
So well said Liane, you express the wonder of God that we can live in if we simply choose to flow and not fight it, so beautifully. Thank you.
Yes, it is a simplicity when we choose to flow. Yet, somehow many of us have made that choice of simplicity seem like such a complicated one. But all the complication is an illusion and can drop away in the instance we choose to flow.
A totally beautiful blog Liane. What you write so greatly resembles my own life and the ives of many others I am sure! Even though I experienced great pleasure and joy from the body, if ever it ‘let me down’ I blamed it and treated it as the enemy. When this was happening I couldn’t wait to get out of it and go to a ‘better’ realm of living somewhere else. The body felt like a prison, a concept that is confirmed over and over by the school system which also resembled a prison . . . except in the case of the body it is not true. As you have said, our bodies are particles from Heaven and they feel heavenly when we express from love. Our bodies are our greatest ally here on earth.
I felt the same Lyndy and Liane, I simply could not understand why I was lumped with such a useless vehicle, or what I was meant to be doing with it. So needless to say, it was not well treated. Now with the understanding of the sacredness of what this vehicle can bring to the earth (as with all others equally), it makes sense to treat it with the honour and reverence befitting its divine mandate.
I can share everything you write here Lyndy as this echoes my feelings too. My husband was researching recently what our names mean. My daughter’s meant “Dew from Heaven” and both my name and my son’s mean “Gift from God”. In this light and in connecting to this and to the utter yumminess that my children are that I can connect to in myself too, it really doesn’t make sense that we don’t accept ourselves in full or accept that our bodies contain the wisdom of the Universe. Coming from God/Heaven could they really be anything less?
“Our bodies are not prisons made of flesh, far from it. Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.” When we deeply feel this for ourselves as true we can not but take full responsibility to deeply care and love this vehicle that we reside in.
When we come to know that our body is a vehicle for which to house our soul, our relationship with our body becomes about love.
It was a joy to read this beautiful blog Liane – how awesome it is when we can feel a part of the bigger picture and not our limiting and/or distracting ones, for we are made of Heaven’s particles, no matter how long we choose to ignore that fact.
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” This is absolute truth – we need to kick resistance out of the playing field and surrender to the love that we are – thank you for your expression.
I just had to come back and re-read this again Liane, it is so beautiful and so sensible and so Simple! Thankyou.
“Whether we accept it or not, our bodies are forever responding to the Universe that we are an innate part of, no different to the way our oceans respond to the moon or our trees respond to the wind. So, how do we respond to this call – do we fight, or do we flow? The quality of our health is in our hands.”
I am all for going with the flow Liane!, rather than the fight, it hurts my body too much and the moment I do my body communicates loudly that I am in ‘disease’.
Liane, the body just does not let us get away with feeling when we are not living the Love that we are, we are so blessed to have a body which is such a marker for us on Love. Whenever the body feels tension, we get the opportunity to look at why we are feeling this tension. Where have we not expressed Love, was there a hurt that we didn’t allow ourselves to feel in full? When we do allow ourselves to feel our hurts (hurts are that which prevents us from feeling and expressing Love), we realize in the fullness of Love, hurts actually have no place in our hearts, there is only Love–and only Love can be expressed.
Just beautiful Liane showing a true connection to the heavens, we do indeed live in a heavenly body, it is time to recognise this and live our heavenly bodies in full on Earth.
What you’ve written here Liane makes such sense of illness and disease and why they come about. If we go against the natural flow of love in our body then it’s natural for it to breakdown.
Liane, you express it so beautifully we are a body of love and any ‘dis-ease’ comes from not living that love and our bodies show us in the various discomforts and ailments we experience. Your line ‘Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.’ moved me, I’ve not been used to considering my body like this, I now more clearly take care and love it in a way I never did but can feel in what you say here that my body being heaven made visible takes it to another level altogether – my body is a vehicle on loan to me to express all the love I am, to show truth, it is truly our instruments and we can use it wisely, it’s our choice.
I love this Monicag2 seeing our body as on loan from heaven and to be used as a vehicle of expressing all the love that we are brings such a deep level of responsibility. It too is not something I had fully comprehended or even considered in this way but it is great reminder to see that our life has the potential for great purpose, the choice is ours.
I have definietly been throughout my life at war with my body, pushing through when it wanted to rest, overriding instead of honouring what felt true and much much more. Over the last week I have got to appreciate just how much this has changed and how strong I feel in my body (I never used to feel like this) and over time through what I have felt and experienced I now have a deeper understanding of how much my body and the connection I have with it, is indeed really quite important. There is still much to learn, feel and deepen but I see this as a joy and adventure not a chore as I would have done in the past. The Wisdom, Love and Truth Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine bring is deeply appreciated.
‘It is a bit like having the ability to sing like an angel but never opening your mouth to sing.’ Ouch, I can feel the truth in that – we are depriving the world of whatever it is we can bring.
It’s true Carmel, when we do not live life from the love that we are, we deprive not only ourselves but humanity of what we came here to bring.
Your journey Liane is so similar to mine, fighting the love that I am and enduring years of sickness because of the way I treated my heavenly body. It took just one man who loves his heavenly body to the nth degree to remind me that every particle in my body belongs to a higher order and not only deserves my very best attention, but will love me immensely for it too. These days I feel so well and realise just what a divinely delicate, sensitive and immensely wise creation my body is. Thank you Liane for so beautifully reminding us all that try as we might, we cannot escape the divine order we live within and that our bodies are a part of. Making the choice to flow with this order rather than resist it was the best thing I have ever done and I know that you and thousands of other people wholeheartedly agree, because the results are plain to see and amazing to feel.
Liane this blog is so universal it encompasses heaven and our earthly bodies.
It is much clearer to me now that it takes more energy to resist love than to be it.
I love how you described letting go of the reins that we are gripping for dear life and allow our breath to sync with the rhythm nature and the breath of god.
I too loved that part Bernard. It’s as though I could feel my body say ‘ahh’ and let go, as I then started to connect to the natural rhythm of my breath. This serves to highlight that I was not breathing my own natural rhythm before. Great to become more aware, and realsie that even doing simple things like reading or typing, we can be choosing tension and fighting our natural flow.
You have expressed beautifully some massive truths in this blog, highlighting the root cause of the human struggle and placing us in the grander scheme of the Universe with responsibility for our choice to either fight or flow with its ‘divine symphony’ on a moment by moment basis.
Brilliant blog Liane. I too have spent my life feeling trapped in my body, fighting with it because I never felt I belonged in it. My self and my body felt like two distinct parts that were not meant to be together. These lines ‘Our bodies are not prisons made of flesh, far from it. Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.’ are pure gold and I feel what you are sharing here is precious beyond words. Thank you.
Wow Liane, you have captured the bigger picture and the truth of the body beautifully here. If anyone wants to know the answer to all the struggle, misery and illness in the world then here it is.
Thank you Liane for sharing such wisdom so simply and clearly. Love is the essence of the Universe and I am realising how I have reacted to the injustices of the world by fighting, on a very subtle yet pervasive level. This has begun to dissolve, a very humbling experience. To flow with life and fully accept and feel Love is what is on offer, aligning once again to the truth of God and the relationship to all that is.
Wonderful blog. Pure wisdom expressed and so clearly. Wow.
If we understand that our bodies reflect all our choices, it is easy to see how we could view them as a prison. What is not so easy is to turn this on its head, as Liane is suggesting and see our body as a heavenly vessel through which love can pour. How do we get to this exploration? I have always felt there was a mystical part of life, but never got to the understanding that it was accessible through my body until studying the wisdom presented by Serge Benhayon. From Serge’s first workshop it felt real, simple and practical and allowed me to trust that if I connected deeply within I would feel the pulse of God and it would tell me what choices made love more accessible day by day. It has never let me down to this day and every aspect of my life has benefitted hugely.
There are so many of us who feel trapped in a body, not realising that it is the most amazing tool we will ever have the privilege of using – tuned to the frequency of the divine, incredibly adaptable, and a highly sensitive barometer for what is true and what is not, if we but give it the attention it so richly deserves.
And therein lies the illusion many of us are still under Simon – that God/Divinity is something mystical, hard to reach and external to us that is either outrightly dismissed (ignored) or attainable only through complex prayer, ritual and beliefs. When really, our divinity (God) is in our every particle and it is our bodies that are the true temples and our bridge back to the love that we are.
This is so beautifully expressed with no holding back that love – heavenly! Thank you.
It really has me pondering why we choose to go into the abyss worrying about our woes when there is another choice … It’s amazing we didn’t see it until Serge Benhayon flicked a switch within us and we got to see our own light.
Liane the words do we fight or do we flow truly struck a chord with me.
This is because I can feel how much effort it takes fighting naturally who we are and the love we are designed to express. I still get caught up in the fight sometimes but I do know how to choose to live in flow with what I feel, with God and nature which feels truly magnificent. This makes me think that the fight sometimes feels more familiar even if it has an awful impact on our lives. The cool thing is the teachings of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine offer the marker to reconnect to the love that we are which invites the choice to commit to addressing all the areas where we still fight so we can make it about flow.
It seems crazy to fight and struggle against the fact that we are love and yet we do. However when I consider that my mind can only offer what is the most familiar unless I choose otherwise, I then understand the impact of being caught in non-loving patterns.
I relate to what you are sharing Sharon. The fighting against ourselves. Denying who we are is exhausting. No wonder caffeine and sugar intakes are through the roof, just to keep ourselves going.
Your description about the body, and how it is naturally pulled to express the divinity of God is so apt! “Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” It’s like we are all walking around craving love, but never accessing it because we believe life has to be a certain way.
“It is a bit like having the ability to sing like an angel but never opening your mouth to sing.” I can so feel that Liane, and looking around me in the world I see so many people suffering from not accessing this amazing divinity that we are. I am amazed every day how much divinity is there around and in me if I choose to see it. It makes me wonder how caught up in life and the misery was I for not seeing and feeling this before? I know for sure it has forever been there and that it was me not opening the door to it, or even more ignoring that there was a door to start with!
Such an awesome sharing. I feel many people consider the body in this way, something to be conquered and work in separation to it, battling it. I love your final question- ‘do we fight it or do we flow’?
Yes somehow we have managed to use our own bodies as a battle ground instead of using is as the divine design it is and honouring and cherishing it’s every part.
Liane, it feels like you have called everyone back to feel the depth and true purpose of our body. They are not just here for us to stuff with food and indulge in other earthly pleasures – they are in fact our way back to God and the love we are all part of. This is still a theory for me and one I am working on embodying as a lived truth, but your gorgeous and clear article is one full of wisdom and guidance straight from the source itself – from God.
Yes for me too Rachael – just reading this blog has supported me entirely. It has supported me by knowing that we are just a body of particles within the universe, and that we can simply be in flow or fight. The word ‘simply’ I enhance here. I am beginning to feel more deeply how founding a godly body, within the body of God, is to be at one with God.. Thank you Liane.
Absolutely Rachael. The call is deeply felt and undeniably known through the words Liane has shared about All of us, and All that we can live when we surrender to the Love of God that we are.
Mind explosion! Thank you for busting the irresponsible myth that our bodies are against us and our enemy. We are the ones who choose to fight against a natural flow, and you have illustrated this gorgeously. It is easy to blame our bodies, I myself have done and hear people doing it everyday, we often fail to see the blessing, clearing or message and realise that our bodies are responding to Love and letting us know about it. Do we stop and listen?
Haha honestly I am just loving your comments Rachael(!), “we often fail to see the blessing, clearing or message and realise that our bodies are responding to Love and letting us know about it.” Yes reading this blog, for the first time ever I felt the harmony and truth in illness and disease – gosh our bodies and God just love us – do we love ourselves? You have now highlighted the one missing key in this whole story Liane.
Beautifully said Rachael. Our bodies are constantly communicating! Who can we have a better conversation with other than our bodies? It makes sense to embrace what our body is telling us, and live by what brings it true harmony, sustainability and evolution. We do, after all, have to live with this thing for our whole life! That’s what makes Liane’s blog so amazing, because it says that a relationship with the body is not hard, it is very simple, and divine when we are honest with it.
Liane, this piece of writing is testimony to how heaven can be expressed through us when we say yes to being the love that we are, and when we embrace our body for the sacred vessel that it is. As you have beautifully written: ‘Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.’ When we do, God’s magic blesses our earth, as it has done with this amazing blog. Thank you.
Liane I love how you have described our connection with our body and the universe. Every one of our particles is connected to absolutely everything out to the universe. What an opportunity we all have to be part of this every single moment of our lives. The illness, disease, pain and distress come when we forget this is the purpose of life. Is my handbrake on or off to the inflow and out flow of the universal pulse?
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” This is pure gold Liane.
It’s crazy when we look at it – it takes a lot of energy to fight against our true nature, and we end up with illness and dis-ease in the body – why would we bother fighting in the first place?!
Absolutely, we harden our bodies, put up walls, all to not let in the love from others or the love that we naturally are out.
Working in health, I love the simplicity of this…”the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” It takes away all the complication and angst of medicine – of defining all the signs and symptoms, doing a zillion tests to make a diagnosis, labeling someone with a condition/illness/dis-ease and trying to fix it for them which takes away their responsibility for it…when in fact they are simply resisting love – full stop, and the path to healing is in their hands.
Yes Paula I can see if everyone connected to the simplicity that is presented here by Liane, we would all take greater care of the bodies we live in and be more responsible about our own health. It would revolutionise how the medical professions operates, and would certainly save in health care costs.
How simple and true is this way of looking at illness and dis-ease “…any illness experienced will simply be a clearing of what has been allowed to accumulate from being in resistance to this pull.” If current medicine were to look at it this way we would save a fortune in healthcare bills and people would be taking responsibility for their own health.
When will there be a book on this from you Liane? I could read it all day…
I agree Heather, an expansion on the wisdom of the life and revelation that Liane lives would be wonderfully expanding reading. Encouraging her is the way to go!
Hear hear Heather.. every day!
Well said Heather. I second that.
Yes I very much agree with you Heather, in fact there are so many books still to be written that let our hearts sing. Words that resonate within us that speak of the world, our body and the universe at the same time all a one big cosmic interplay.
I hear you Heather, Jo, Giselle, Jennifer and Esther, thank you. The ink in God’s pen never runs dry for it is written from the love within our hearts – a mighty tome indeed.
Hear hear Liane.
“It is a bit like having the ability to sing like an angel but never opening your mouth to sing.” This is the awful mismatch many of us live on a day to day basis until we come across the man from Byron Bay who shows us what true living is about. Knowing that every cell in our body is part of the divine universe and made of and for love on this earth is confirmed for me every day.
Lianne thank you for this blog, it feels true, like we are custodians of our bodies but the particles belong to God. It also feels majestic that we are part of the universe and our bodies respond like the moon and the tides.
The entire universe is pulling us towards love, such is its nature. Like you say when we are not living the divine love we come from, we are resisting the flow of nature and this resistance puts us out of rhythm with the universe and that creates an illness in the body which must be cleared.
” The entire universe is pulling us towards love, such is nature” I love these words Bernard, how simple to know the entire universe is behind us … It has our back!
“It is a bit like having the ability to sing like an angel but never opening your mouth to sing.” Exactly Liane, and I greatly appreciate your song and part in the divine symphony. The way you describe “the reins that we are gripping for dear life” is so telling about the control we exert, only to continually resist this natural flow. The truth is it is us who are dear, and we’re completely supported by the Universe to be so.
‘When we allow our breath to sync to the rhythm of Nature, the breath of God – the All of Us – the panic subsides. A body that is brought back to this harmony is a body that will not ‘let you down’..
So beautifully put and places our awareness on who we are, why we are here and guides us as to how to live: ‘do we fight, or do we flow?’ this Universal knowing that we have been gifted with understanding.
I don’t recall feeling trapped in my body or in opposition to it, but then looking back, I feel I had learned to numb myself from it and live entirely from my mind.
It didn’t feel safe to be open, loving and tender so I learned to harden. My epiphany, strikingly similar to yours, dawned on me in the years after meeting Serge Benhayon, that I too had
‘reacted to the lack of love I could see being lived in the world and without seemingly realising it, I rejected love, I rejected myself and…I rejected God.’
Instead of being the love that I could see was not being lived around me, I chose another form of numbness, hardness and disconnection, seeking anything alternative and ‘natural’, seeking bliss and escape. I made choices from my head, trying to imagine how things would turn out from a particular choice and inevitably, things would go pear-shaped and I would find myself even more miserable and hurt others along the way. Seeing all of that now and feeling how I have allowed myself to surrender my body and open my heart again, to live with the wonder and naivety that I had as a child, my body feels warm, open, solid and clear. It feels like I am at home in myself. And it feels like I now make choices considering the whole, given that I can feel God inside and all around me.
Artfully expressed Lianne, describing the purpose of our body in our return to living with our soul. As you say, ‘Once this is felt, it is extremely hard to continue living recklessly’, in disregard of this unit of the Universe that we inhabit and are responsible for.
Reading your words Liane make it so clear what our purpose is here. It is not about finding the answers that we all seem to have but just to go with the flow without resistance and be simply the part of the whole that we are. Our responsibility does not lie in to know it all but to surrender to that which knows it all, to the whole, and that what is there for us to do or not will be impulsed through the whole and thus will come to us.
I love this part of the sentence Esther Andras, that it is not about “… to know it all but to surrender to that which knows it all,…”
We try to own knowledge that is our greatest downfall and that is the reason why we as a society are so limited in our understanding of the workings of the universe.
There is such support and all knowing in the surrender to the all. We really do keep ourselves trapped and small when we stay caught in the individual and having to do it all alone.
Incredible Judith, Liane and Esther – you have presented so simply how it all works. I too have been caught in owning this knowledge, now it is time to claim that we are never doing it alone, and that we can live for the all – much grander and truer than just living for ourselves, our struggles, our desires etc. Thank you for presenting the choice.
What you say Esther appears to me to be about some kind of struggle for ownership that we engage in. This fight for survival of the self. But as you say so beautifully; “our responsibility does not lie in to know it all but to surrender to that which knows it all”. That is super special. Thank you.
Your words weave together the undeniable truths. It explains so much of how the world is the way it is when so many of us are living out our lives separately to the laws of the universe, but completely affected by them. We have all the keys to every puzzle. The universe is an open book, so magnificent that I can’t fathom, and yet we look away, our attention drawn to the struggle that keeps us small and enthralled.
Jinya it just took one person to complete the puzzle, he had the missing piece that we were all searching for and he’s made sense of the Universe and our place in the plan. Thanks to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
Beautifully said Jinya. With eyes downcast we crave the love we refuse to live.
A magnificent piece of writing Liane, clearly written by someone who has lived and experienced the pain and the joy and has now connected to the latter. The constant pull to be more loving, more accepting of ourselves and our world around us is something I am still coming to terms with. Once we start to gain the awareness of the love we are and can live, it is impossible to shut it down or hide to it, much as at times I often try to do so, it is always there, asking that we are more.
When I read your beautifully written blog Liane, I feel so joyful, something deep within feels confirmed – my particles are dancing to the rhythms of the universe and saying yes, yes, yes and with this comes a sense of alive fulsome stillness through my entire body.
I totally resonate with what you share here Josephine! The truth cannot resist being met in our bodies! It is one and Liane has presented this magnificently!
Indeed this blog inspires to connect deeply to the joy, space, stillness and rhythms of my body and of life. Such a different relationship to have with my body rather than the ‘prison of flesh’ so aptly described.
I can feel the expansion in my body Liane as I re read your words! You write from the depths of your knowing and it is a gift for us all. Another level of confirmation and commitment has opened up for me as I re read your words. Much appreciated and I celebrate you as a voice for all!
I can very much relate Josephine, I’ve just re-read your blog during my lunch-break Liane and I can feel the expansion and true nourishment in my body. Who needs food when we are fed with this amount of love.
Could our root condition or illness be that we are not being the love that we naturally are? And could all our unhealthy or self-abusive choices that we make thereafter be simply to offset or numb or distract or bury the pain of that separation from love? Makes sense to me and is the best explanation that I have ever heard for why we get illness and disease and why we consciously choose to harm the very vehicle that carries us around.
Could be, maybe? Sounds right to me Andrew, and more importantly feels right as it does not leave any unanswered questions.
Great Blog Liane, you make profound truths simple. The simplicity of our magnificent bodies and the divine rhythm and pulse they are attuned to, if we learn to connect to and feel is immensely healing and gives us an order from which to base our lives.
‘..you make profound truths simple.’ Absolutely Josephine.
Liane has the most clear and joyful way of expressing the Universe and making it accessible for All. As intended and so to with the voice of God, in simplicity all is revealed.
Beautifully said Rachel and Josephine – universal truths stated with simplicity revealing the amazingness we each are a part of and can live in our daily lives.
“Our bodies are not prisons made of flesh, far from it. Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.” – After searching for what seemed a long time, all I had to do was stop and connect.
True Nicole you can feel the quality of this blog and relearning how to love, nurture and appreciate the body on a deeper, more intimate level.
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it”. This should be on everybody’s fridge!
And bumper stickers too! This should be everywhere as a constant reminder that to simply be ourselves we must accept that Love is who we are. There is no need to look outside for it, every particle in our body is pulsing with the Universe and communicating Love constantly. It’s all here for us, so we just need to be it.
It is interesting when we stop the pushing and the drive and just be – we have a moment to connect with and feel what the body has been copping. Treat the body with more respect and care and it can be a body that can express who we truly are.
Hear hear Rachael! I can just feel your joy! What a reminder!
And billboards, and written in the sky!
This simple but incredibly profound sentence speaks directly to our heart and provides the opportunity to look at where and what we have been resisting, and just how that feels in our body. And then to let that resistance go and to feel the weight lift and the immensity of what we have available to us right at our fingertips.
I am so blown away with what I am reading. I feel like there should be some kind of news broadcast letting the whole world know that the secret to true health is available online, in blog form, free, right here. I have had to reread parts of this 5 or 6 times – yes it is that good! This line was a corker “Our bodies are not prisons made of flesh, far from it. Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.” I have lived according to the ‘body as a prison’ consciousness for what feels like aeons, in fact I feel like it is only just beginning to crack reading this blog. Thank you Liane.
I have lived in disregard of my body for so long that when I read ‘our bodies are heaven made visible’ it was difficult for me to make the leap and feel that applied to me. If I were to embrace this as a truth, I would certainly be treating my body with much more care and love.
How many of us have lived life in the manner you described at the top of the article? I know I did. Developing the reconnection with God and our bodies and understanding the links between the two has been a game-changer, and for this, a massive thank you to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
Liane just gorgeous, thank you – and straightforward and refreshing. You have said it exactly how it is, re-establishing the link between heaven and ourselves.
Thank you Liane for illustrating so with such power, beauty and ease that not only do we all share the same deep hurt when we stem the natural flow of love and expression of the Divine in and through our bodies, but each of us, in every moment hold the salve to this hurt – simply in our choice to either continue to ‘fight’ or to connect to and allow the ‘flow’.
So simply put Hannah, all the years of looking and seeking and it comes down to we don’t only create our ills and hurts, we also by the choices we make can heal them. This reveals how much game playing we can do.
Absolutley Aimee, there are so many games we can play in order to avoid the simple truth that in the end, it all comes back to us and the choices we make.
So many gems in this blog, Liane. Your first conclusion after the presentation from Serge Benhayon you attended is a blog in itself:
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.”
Absolutely true and yet we put all our effort into exactly doing that: resisting the love we are.
Exquisite writing, you make divinity so simple.
Thankyou Gabriele. God made divinity simple. I am simply learning to re-live it.
You are absolutely right- the biggest pain is that we don´t let the love out what we are. It took me years to understand and feel this and it is an ongoing process since then. We are so busy in finding reasons, why we feel bad or not don’t trust, we create fights and stay in protection but in the end the root cause, we avoid feeling. Thank your for reminding me and giving any reason to not let it out far less power over me.
There are so many gold nuggets in this blog Liane. The fact that physical pain is a result of the love we hold back and fight makes sense, because when I don’t hold back everything does flow. In the fight life staggers, it never completely stops because there is that constant feeling of something wanting to come out from within, that tension and fight used to once be my ‘normal’ and accepted way of being to the point of claiming ‘that is just me/who I am’ but it is so far from the truth. The love that we are does not hold back, only the who we are not holds back and the body never lies in telling us when we are true or when we are living a lie.
A few things stood out in your post here Liana and one is that of Serge Benhayon’s shirt. In a world where people are wearing all sorts of attire, Serge Benhayon’s shirt really struck me as well, on those evenings at Byron Bay, where he was presenting. There was something different about the way that he stood and the fact that he was very very well presented. Self love, I know it now to be after all these years.. self love and self regard. Coming from a world where I have known neither of those things.
I also felt to comment on the title of your blog and how interesting that our body does not actually belong to us, but to the universe and therefore God due to its particles and the interactivity of them. To treat our bodies with true purpose and honour is paramount to living in a way that is all-encompassing of the universe and each other and deeply respectful of the brotherhood that is innate to us.
Well Liane, I would have to agree with the truth about our bodies that you have presented here. I have chosen to hide in my body for a long, long time and this pattern continues to be my ‘go to’ when I feel myself too big, too expanded and too beautiful in this world. When I feel like I stand out – not like a sore thumb but like a bright shining star – I can want to play this down somewhat and my body is that place where I go for retreat (or relief). Dulling it down, racing it up or denying its particles occurs when we ignore our own bodies and dishonour them, and yet the beauty that is possible when we don’t do this is remarkable to feel and to choose.
Thank you Liane, to feel my body as part of the universe makes all the difference, this is gold for me! Who am I to dictate what it needs and what not? Or worse what I want and I just shove it down its throat. To connect to that bigger picture that I am part of and feel from there what the body needs is really the key.
Acceptance is key here. Accepting our bodies for who they are naturally aligned with – God. Accepting that they are part of a higher wisdom. Accepting that surrendering to them is needed. The line that stood out the most for me was, “We allow our breath to sync to the rhythm of Nature, the breath of God – the All of Us – and the panic subsides.” This resonates with me as this is what I am feeling at present. My body is quite tired as I let go of a strong disregard. I have chosen to honour what my body is helping me process by deeply resting. This is allowing me to stay with what I am feeling and not override or just ‘carry on’ oblivious to the messages and learning that are on offer through this unfoldment and letting go process. The body has much to say and the wisdom that it is filled with is unending. It is wise of us to listen and act on what we hear.
Liane I love the way of looking at our enhousing bodies – particles vibrating and magnetically pulled to the pulse and rhythm of the universe … divine design is so beautiful and my attitude to my body totally changes when I am in harmony with it. Thank you for this beautiful blog.
I agree Anne, allowing myself to surrender my body that consists of vibrating particles to the magnetic pull to the pulse and rhythm of the universe gives such a feeling of trust, of being held and of coming home.
If we understand that our bodies reflect all our choices, it is easy to see how we could view them as a prison. What is not so easy is to turn this on its head, as Liane is suggesting and as I see our body as a heavenly vessel through which love can pour. How do we get to this exploration? I have always felt there was a mystical part of life, but never got to the understanding that it was accessible through my body until studying the wisdom presented by Serge Benhayon. From Serge’s first workshop it felt real, simple and practical and allowed me to trust that if I connected deeply within I would feel the pulse of God and it would tell me what choices made love more accessible day by day. It has never let me down to this day and every aspect of my life has benefited hugely.
Liane Mandalis YOU are Heaven sent. Reading this a year or two ago I know it would not have made sense. HOWEVER after much resistance to the Truth, my body is showing me through fibroid tumours the extent of this resistance. When I let go of who I think I should be, what I should be doing, look like – all of it – there is just a beautiful ease and a beauty feeling throughout my whole body that is undeniable. This is the essence of God that is within us all when we come back to living in accordance with the natural laws of the Universe AND OUR DIVINITY.
Hi Liane. So often I hear others complaining about parts of their body and blaming it on things seemingly outside their control. For much of my life I have felt that life is to be survived and not been aware that in truth I am to be celebrated. I have not stopped to say ‘I love my life and I love my body and all it offers me’ – until the last few years. Your comment – ‘Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world’, has been like a light being switched on. ‘Our bodies are Heaven made visible’ has really grounded me in the realisation of the gift we have all been given, experiencing who we are through an amazing body. Thank you for this supportive and loving blog.
Very simply, thank you Liane for writing this blog.
A very revealing and healing blog Liane. Like you I fought my body for a very long time until my body brought me to a halt. When I realised that if we ‘let go of the reins that we are gripping for dear life and allow ourselves to follow the impulses that naturally pulse forth from this our greater body’ I began to find a new sense of self and love. I began to give up the fight and began to follow the flow, and in this I could feel my connection to the world and the universe. I began to understand that I was a part of the greater all and that we all have a significant part to play as we expand and in so doing become more unified and committed to our returning path back to God.
A beautiful reminder of just what a beautiful and divine potential we have in our bodies. I love the change from “fight or flight” to “fight or flow”. It sums up so well the reality that we live with in ourselves, and the choice that is there before us in every moment.
Fight or flow – that says it all Naren – Love it!
“Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” I had shivers running down my body as I read this Liane as it sums up the way humanity as a whole lives and the reason why we find ourselves in the state we do. Yet at the same time confirming the divinity we all are with a simple and practical answer to everything.
For me, rather than feeling trapped in my body I just took it for granted, giving it very little care or consideration. I was rarely sick, whatever I did to abuse it. Fortunately I had the grace to meet Serge Benhayon before I created irrepairable damage to it. Even though I was in awe of its amazingness, I did not appreciate it until I met Serge Benhayon. Through him I have come to realise, as you so beautifully express Liane, “Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.” I stil feel I have a long way to go in truly loving it and making it a full expression of love but the journey has begun, which is a great joy.
Thank you for sharing Liane, like you before meeting Serge Benhayon I was caught up in the cycle of feeling exhausted, frustrated with life, trying every remedy under the sun but nothing worked. There was short term momentary relief but nothing long lasting. Realising that we are love and we have it within and so do not need to seek outside of ourselves is a massive revelation, as most of us are led to believe it is something we have to attain, rather than to allow and return to.
It is crazy how everything we have ever wanted is within, yet we spend so much of our lives and time searching outside of ourselves. Mmm intelligent we are…me thinks not!
Awesome sharing Liane, an awesome exposure just how much we hurt ourselves when we abuse this, taken for granted vehicle we call the body. I have rejected my body big time, I rejected the love that I am because I decided that this world did not deserve my love…. and in doing so, I created a life so far from love, our natural essence that I did not want to be here, be a part of this world. I so agree with this line; ‘ Holding back that beauty and that Divine expression is a pain far greater than what can be physically inflicted on the body’. Thank-you for this wonderful sharing.
Thank you, Liane. I cannot tell you how perfectly timed your blog has arrived in my inbox. Your words hit home something very important yet simple once accepted – “Holding back that beauty and that Divine expression is a pain far greater than what can be physically inflicted on the body and that physical pain serves as a marker for the love that we hold back.” The pain of not expressing our divinity with every word and gesture is the greatest pain of all, because it goes against our true nature.
Beautifully said Janetwilliams06… ‘The pain of not expressing our divinity with every word and gesture is the greatest pain of all…’
Thank you for sharing this insight Liane. It is interesting to contemplate that the source of illness and disease may be what we are holding back or what we are not being, rather than what we have done to our bodies or what has happened.
Thank you Liane for this incredible blog. It comes to me in a very hard moment when I am suffering in my body the consequences of my previous disregard.
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it”.
Reading this I feel a deep sadness for the time I have been living ignoring or despising its signals, and pushing me while feeling panic.
Since my decision to honour it as the vehicle of love it is, I am facing how much I abused it in the name of love for others and my resistance to live in intimacy with it.
Your blog today is a light that confirms my commitment and reminds me of the Truth.
Beautifully honest Victoria, it is hard sometimes to feel how utterly disregarding we have been… for eons in most cases, but to be deeply appreciated that you are finally making the stop and beginning to re-tread a path back to love. Reminders such as this blog are so important, as you say, confirming your commitment… I feel the same way.
What a top blog Liane and well said. I love your style of writing and you did make me laugh and YES I get it. There is so much here to comment on and it certainly deserves my attention to re-read a few times.
For now, I agree with you that ‘the quality of our health is in our own hands’ and my understanding of this comes from my own lived experience. Taking responsibility for the choices I make every day is what makes the difference. After applying the simple teachings that Serge Benhayon presents I have gone from a medical and welfare statistic to not even having to visit a GP in 7 years. For the record I would go if I had the slightest thing to get a medical opinion on but it just has not happened.
Could it be possible that what Liane is saying here and I am confirming is possible for all of us?
Could it be possible that lifestyle changes are needed if we are to live true health and well-being?
It does not matter how young or old you are, you can make choices to care for your body and not abuse it – I am living proof and I did not need a double blind test to confirm what I now live thanks to Serge Benhayon.
Anectodal evidence will one day have its place as it is needed if we are to see and feel real results so that others are truly informed.
Yes Bina it is not only possible it is happening. Many, like yourself, are living against the trend toward increasing ill-health and loss of quality of life through taking responsibility for the choices we make. Anecdotal evidence will eventually be a groundswell that simply cannot be ignored or belittled.
Roll on that glorious day Helen!
Liane this was a joy to read. So much of what you have written about relates to my own relationship I have had with my body, and as I sit here reading this I can feel where the fight is still going on.
Totally gorgeous blog Liane. You have conveyed the bigger picture and what is at play so succinctly and clearly. It’s like getting a dose of fresh mountain stream in spring. I used to have problems reconciling the fact that I was in a human body at all and found it hard to relate to. Once I had the realisation that our bodies belong to the Universe and that it responds accordingly and that all I have to do is to feel this process, accept it and allow it was a huge shift in how I related to myself. I could feel myself open up and the desire to be so controlling was lessened. The idea that the body needs to be conquered vanished and it has become increasingly difficult to abuse it. When we go deeper into nurture and self love, what was once considered loving I now consider abusive, as I am forever refining how I am with it – how I move, express, eat and exercise.
Wow Liane, this touched me deeply – “Thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love.” I had to read it over and over again, my body knew what it was about but my head was confused. I can see how I’ve used anxiety and nervousness as a buffer or constant noise to not feel this.
Thankyou for this beautiful blog Liane. “….we are love and if we choose to not live this love, then we invite a whole manner of illness and dis-ease into our bodies simply because: It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” I too so appreciate Serge Benhayon for all that he brings – and every presentation clarifies life for me – it all makes so much sense.
It was not until attending Universal Medicine presentations and workshops with Serge Benhayon did I ever consider to STOP and really feel the accumulation of the many decades of me abusing my body and the root cause of the many ills/ailments that came my way (helping to heal) – never really connecting by feeling how I was truly living. Your sharing today Liane really brought about my appreciating the journey travelled thus far. In your words “the root of all illness and disease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love”.
To once again feel the ‘flow’ through my loving choices the grip of ‘fight’ is losing its stronghold. A beautiful sharing Liane thank you.
Oh my Liane, this is gorgeous, thank you for bringing it back down to the truth of the matter. I love this article as it has reminded me of the bigger picture, and this morning I needed this! ” We are love and the fleshy vehicle that we reside in is a great body of love that belongs to the Universe/God, which is an even greater body of love that enhouses us all.”
Thankyou samanthaengland. The bigger picture is always contained within the tiniest particle. As the ancient Greeks taught: “As above, so below”. The enormous made simple, simply because it is.
“It takes more energy to resist love than to be it.” This is a very revealing fact. The most prevalent condition of nearly everyone in the world today is exhaustion, which shows that there is an overwhelming resistance to love. Serge Benhayon presents that true love is the essence of every one of us and until we re-connect to our inner-heart and feel true love within we exhaust ourselves desperately seeking emotional love that always leaves us wanting.
For me there is a picture of a body that clears itself all the time of the mud you put in, with an amazing never ending committment. In the same time we put double or triple size of the mud constantly in it, so that it almost has no moments without any dirt. This exhausts us and is much more effort than just accepting the cleaning system of the body that is flowing amazingly 🙂
Absolutely Mary Adler this statement alone is a game changer in terms of everything we know about ill-health and medicine. If we start from a basis that we are literally love in essence and it is very natural to be love in every moment, and when we choose to resist that natural flow we must call in another energy to offset or divert that flow and it is this energy that literally rots the human body, then this means that we must go back to the original choice of resisting the flow to truly heal otherwise we are simply rearranging deck chairs on a sinking ship.
When the time comes for conventional medicine and society to accept and take the approach that first and foremost we are love, and that any ailment or illness is our body’s way of communicating a choice to be less than this love, so much in the world will change. We cannot have true harmony in the world if we do not have harmony with our bodies. We fight our bodies, we fight everyone else and we fight God.
Love it Liane, “and any illness experienced will simply be a clearing of what has been allowed to accumulate from being in resistance to this pull.” The love that our body offers us every moment blows me away, I am so full of wonder at its divine design. So why do we try so hard to squash its natural flow and then complain then we get an illness to clear what has been allowed to accumulate?! Illogical and yet I have fallen into that pattern myself way too many times.
So well said Lucy Dahill. Society at large has greatly forgotten that its innate connection with God is through the physical body. If we knew this how could we abuse a vessel that can wield God’s work? In that forgetting and dismissing of our bodies, we wield the exact opposite, we wield abuse on others and ourselves which only serves to bury deeper and deeper the knowing we all have that our bodies are not just flesh and blood but the instrument with which we can access God — not from our heads or intellect, but from our whole body.
That is such a powerful statement that you have highlighted from Liane’s article. When we begin to see the truth and therefore the blessings in illness and disease the whole of health care will change. Complaining of our bodies and our health is a trap..a trap to keep us trapped in the limits of our minds, our thoughts and beliefs. Our body will always be honest and tell us the truth. It is our bestest friend ever and only speaks of love.
That illogicality can only occur Lucy because we are not ever taught to consider our bodies as being made of Divine design. There is a perpetuated myth that we are functional masses of tissue, nothing more – a reductionist lie that crushes life out of life, makes the delicate indelicate and blinds us to the undeniable truth that we are so much more than what we see, and responsive to a grander call.
Totally Rachel. We have not, until the advent of Serge Benhayon, known the true role of the body in our lives. We have scientifically reduced it to a mass of tissue, we have lived by ideals that the body is the cause of all our woes and so denied its role and ignored and abused it, we have used it for so-called pleasure, but not until Serge’s re-impress of the Ancient Wisdom for the new age have we begun to respect it, and tenderly care for and love it, knowing it is the marker of the way and quality in which we live our lives. Not until we re-awakened did we know that the body is made from heavenly particles, particles of God. Our body is our greatest educator, and will greatly facilitate in us coming back to the Soul we truly are.
Yes, that is so lovely Lyndy. It is an educator, offering lessons that we are free to heed or not. It extracts no revenge upon us if we do not take the lesson, it simply does what it does in exact response to what we have done to it.
Rachel, I love that you say that the body exacts no revenge upon us for doing what we do to it. It simply shows us what quality we are living. A clear and unambiguous reflection of our way of living. It is this way because the articles are divine, while the spirit is the one who dreams up revenge as a modus operandum.
The spirit is a perpetual victim in its own drama, and like all victims, always fails to see its own very significant contribution to its problems and woes.
“Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.” This is such an important point you make here Liane, our bodies are vehicles of the Universe if we choose to. The lack of wellbeing we feel in our bodies despite being “healthy” and not dealing with any major physical issues is tremendous. I wasn’t aware of this until I came to Universal Medicine and realised I put up with exhaustion, physical weakness, lack of vitality, etc., covering it with stimulants where possible and just living like on an almost expired battery. I measured myself with the abuse I was able to take on and not with the love I was expressing. I always said that I was not made to drink a lot of alcohol, stay up till super late, eat heavy food, take drugs and indulge too much in social activities, as my body would always cry out for a stop and rest. So I was looking into getting me fit to be able to live in this abusive way, instead of questioning if this was truly the way to live. Abuse is so normalized that we don’t even question it, and it becomes the barometer we measure the performance in life with.
Great point you make here – that normally we try to just get fitter and harder and tougher for more abuse to come our way rather than questioning this madness altogether and putting a stop to it.
Absolutely Gabriele, we have embodied abuse to such an extent that we measure our normal on how much abuse we can take on. Isn’t this absolutely crazy that we train ourselves to be able to withstand abuse when we are young and exposing our bodies to as much extremes as possible, and then when we get older and suffer the consequences of this abuse we cry for fixing and medication that takes away the self made ills. This is absolutely and utterly irresponsible.
What you shared about abuse Rachel is super important. Because abuse has become so extreme, we don’t even consider what is abuse as abusive. When we live like this in any way we cannot connect to our true heavenly home. There is great sadness in this and most of us feel this everyday, but we are so disconnected that we are unaware that we do. The truth is that we are love and when we live this, we make heaven visible.
I love what you say here Jennifer about our true heavenly home, so beautiful. To live in a way that we make Heaven visible!!!
There is beauty shining through your words Jennifer and Rachel. There is a marker in our body where we know every detail of what it feels like to have absolute clarity and a confidence to express ourself about anything – confirming that we are undoubtedly awesome “as it is here so it is in heaven”.
Liane Mandalis an exquisite piece of writing that takes one to the essence of who we are. Divine beings with every particle pulsating to the one rhythm. I’ve always loved how the body only knows one way to be, and that is love, so everything else is pushed out and cleared in order for it to return to all it knows. Such beauty in this. Why put a boulder in front of the flow when the flow is all it knows.
I have felt that too Liane, trapped in my body that continuously showed to me the results of me not living according to its nature. I too wanted to have control over my body and to have it subordinate to my mind. But thanks to the teachings of Serge Benhayon I have found that this is not the way to go in life, and I also found that actually I know that I have the responsibility for the quality of my own life but have tried to ignore this fact. My body is from a different nature and kept me showing the results of the way I was living, unwavering from its connection with the love and grander picture it is constantly in constellation with.
How brilliant this blog is to read, Liane. Likening the movement of our body with the universe, with the connection between the oceans and the moon and the trees and the wind is particularly confirming. When science and pure fact is brought in, it makes it very difficult for anyone to argue with; one might still put up a fight, but it would be fruitless 🙂
Thank you Liane. I absolutely loved reading your blog as you are talking about a few of my favorite subjects like God, true medicine and the body. I love the below sentence – “thus, the real pain here that we all feel, and that is the root cause of all illness and dis-ease, is the pain of being in a body of love and not connecting to and expressing that love”. Reading that I could just imagine that one day we may be able to visit a medical doctor and have them speak to us about love, about the effects on the body of living disconnected from ourselves and others and how that actually impacts our health. Personally I can’t wait for that day to come. The science is actually there that shows us that when we live in a connected, harmonious way our bodies thrive.
Thankyou Elizabeth. Love is the universal medicine. Once this is re-connected to, any medications administered from this point will support the body to truly heal from this lack of love lived. This healing will look different in every case and certainly in some, it does not appear to be a ‘cure’ in the temporal sense. But a body that is able to release the configurations imposed on it from the being within, which has bound it into not allowing the expression of love through it, is a body that has returned to God, no matter the outcome in this particular life.
I hope that day is not too far away Elizabeth. I would love to not only see Doctors but all health workers. Is it already happening?
Does not take much to inspire another to turn their Light on !
What a beautiful, relatable reminder Liane, thankyou – and then comes lots more play!! woo hoo!
“Our bodies are Heaven made visible if only we choose to live our true selves within them and express this truth to the world.” And why would we not choose to live our true selves and express this truth to the world when we who have been blessed to know through meeting Serge Benhayon that our bodies are made from particles from Heaven? Only it can take some time for many of us to deal with the old hurts and patterns that still may hold us back from fully living and expressing this truth.
Is this not the most beautiful expression of who we are? “Our bodies are Heaven made visible….” We are bathed in this truth and for a moment, having felt its wash are given pause to ask how do I live my true self? And how do I express that in this world?
Liane you have so magnificently and simply outlined the relationship between the body, and illness and disease, and in the process you have brought science and religion (true religion that is) together in a way I have never seen done in a few short paragraphs. This is a masterful piece of writing that illustrates such a clear understanding, addressing the woes of humanity in one extraordinarily graceful swoop.
I agree Jenny. Well said. You can feel your alignment to the Truth also.
When I feel truth, my body aligns like a magnet and this is one of those moments Liane. I’ll be back!
“Our bodies are not prisons made of flesh, far from it. Our bodies are Heaven made visible …” The idea of my body as a prison was a theme with which to wage the campaign of abuse against it. I’m humbled by the truth that it is this very body that is ‘heaven made visible’ and the understanding that the real struggle has been against recognising it was divinity I had turned away from and not in fact an imprisonment of it into a fallible fleshy form (that part was voluntary).
I am learning (albeit slowly) to embrace the delicate nature of this body, to listen to the call it is echoing and to express the love that I am and thus to master the part of me that would rail against surrender to a grander plan at any expense.
Gorgeous article!
Hi Helen, and I have found that these ‘heaven made visible’ bodies are very noticeable indeed, as I see many such examples by Serge Benhayon and the student body of Universal Medicine. It is not so much about the body shape, it is about the quality that is emanating.
Yes Harryjwhite there is a glow that emanates from a person who knows that they are Heaven made visible – and it can be seen in their movements and is borne witness to in the depth of their eyes.
Wise words Helen and to take note of “I am learning (albeit slowly) to embrace the delicate nature of this body, to listen to the call it is echoing and to express the love that I am and thus to master the part of me that would rail against surrender to a grander plan at any expense.”
What an inspiring blog Liane that confirms to me the amazing gift the human body is, and that when we honour thus connection, we are connected to the Divine body of God.
That’s true Angela, the ‘kingly body’. It never ceases to amaze me what it knows and tells you. We have our own science in the body. Taking deep care of it gives you the space to hear what it tells you. Not looking after yourself clouds all the responses and answers it provides. It is a treasure from God with equally all the knowings of God.
Liane, the first part of your wonderful blog reads just like the first 55 years of my life; the exhaustion, the ailments, the depletion and so on, and to get through every day with all this weighing me down, took a whole lot of grinning and bearing, which didn’t solve anything but simply added to how awful I was already feeling. I too tried the alternative route with only an occasional, but very temporary, respite from the misery, and then one day I met Serge Benahyon and my life changed. Everything this gentle and unassuming man presented resonated within me so deeply that it touched a place that I had long ago buried; a place of inner wisdom and truth. Making the choice to re-connect to this innate wisdom and begin to understand this exquisite body of mine, and what brought it to this place of dis-ease and dis-function, has brought about the most amazing turnaround in my life; it has brought me to a new and true way of living that has not only reconnected me to the truth of who I am, but to the truth of life and to the truth of God who, in my dis-connection to me, I had also turned my back on.
Liane, this is a stunning description of what it is to be a human being, the pain that we experience in the vicissitudes of life. No wonder we retreat from our bodies, unable to make sense of or escape from the multiple layers of pain that we feel. Our bodies hurt from the tiniest paper cut that stings like a knife wound to the bone deep ache that no analgesic can conquer. We suffer emotional pain, and there is an ever-present spiritual angst – a pain beyond description that forms the backdrop of our lives. We run here and there – this cure, that remedy.
Until we meet a man in a collared shirt…who speaks the wisdom of healing from a body that lives it in full.
We learn again that we are Universal beings, whose essence beats to a vaster drum than can be imagined. Our fight against that is rendered real in the human ache. To surrender is to surrender to the greater flow. That is Universal Medicine.
Your post is equally as stunning Rachel. How can we not fully resonate with all the words that are spoken here. The pain, the angst, the torment of emotional suffering, all of these things are common place and it is so very lovely to feel the universal nature of Universal Medicine and how the angst and the emotional upheaval slowly gets reduced as our bodies return to a soulful harmonious way of living.
The words barely touch the feeling when we start to live the love that we are, in harmony with the love that beholds us.
I agree Rachel, the feelings are so beautiful that the most miraculous of words cannot sum up the beauty that is being felt.
YES to that, Rachel and Natasha!
Haha and yes to you too Lyndy Summerhaze and yes to the choices we are making to support and deepen our way of living !
Rachel, after reading Liane’s blog, and your comment I am feeling that it is time to admit that my excursion of experimenting without god’s love has left me with nothing but the emotional pain and the ever-present spiritual angst you wrote about. An angst this deep could only come from the realization we have ignored our divine origins to which we must return.
Beautiful Bernard…the point that all must reach to let go of the striving and the weapons and trying and the daily grinding fight.
For what are we fighting other than our essence, the truth we are.
That’s right Rachel we are seemingly fighting each other. It’s ridiculous and absolute mayhem watching images of ISIS men hiding in black marching down the street with machine guns fighting for an embedded belief that has been sold to them. A truth for them that is a lie to the Love they are.
As is your comment Rachel Mascord, a comment that can only be expressed from a body that has surrendered to this greater flow. As I sit here feeling the exquisite surrender in my own body, feeling God’s love, the simplicity and exquisite space as opposed to the denseness and heaviness we can buy into in human form, and I can feel how when one of us claims this divine spaciousness to be our natural way, our Universal way, we inspire that space so easily in another, and another. This is the enormous power of saying yes to expressing Love.
So true Katerina so beautifully expressed- another confirmation.
Love your ‘stunning description’ also Rachel, you have summed up beautifully what it’s like to be a human being. The pain of doing anything to distract and numb the pain, has been for me far greater than stopping and allowing myself to feel what is there. I spent years not wanting to be in my body and feel the choices I had made and used bulimia to escape from it… but that definitely didn’t work. I only started truly appreciating my body and all the details it shows me of how I live, breathe, walk and talk, after meeting Serge Benhayon, who reflects the joy of living in his body everyday.
Miraculous Aimee a story worth sharing!
Did you find that this level of appreciation took time Aimee? I have found it to be a slow process, and delicate unfolding. There are still things that I resent about my body, and wish would just go away/get better/stop hurting…until I discover that all along it was a simple outcome of something I was doing that was not so wise.
Perhaps I am a slow learner?
Or could it be the the greatest lessons are best learned slowly taking all the time that is needed to extract every drop of juice out of them?
Oh yes Rachel, I find it an unfolding process and often choose to do things that do not appreciate my body, like overeating or doing something in a way that I know hurts me. Something’s I try over and over again, until I know without doubt that it doesn’t support my body. You know those times when after doing something and you go ‘why did I do that again?’ ‘I knew it wasn’t right the first 200 times!’. And then there are things that from my body I go no way not going there.
Your question is interesting Rachel, “Or could it be that the greatest lessons are best learned slowly taking all the time that is needed to extract every drop of juice out of them?” and I would say yes, because after extracting every detail of clarity and learning about something its then an absolute in our body that no matter what happens or comes at us that part is unshakable.
And Universal Medicine is exactly that – Universal to All.
Wow – lovely description Rachel. The complication of the first paragraph is cut with the beautiful simplicity of the second. Re-learning and feeling from my body the magnificence of where we come from and learning to surrender to this ever more deeply reminds me that I am an essential part of the whole. Universal indeed, but incredibly simple and uncomplicated.
That density and complication is a mirror to the complication of human life; a constant barrage that we are up against.
For we are simple beings.
Gorgeous that you have offered here a different way from the complication we have created and use as a yard stick to measure life by. There is such a refreshment in simplicity – it takes us back to the crux of things that allows us to see the complication for what it is – a veil over what is loving, true and harmonious.
Rachel such a deeply beautiful comment that also embraces the purpose of our life as human beings. That we are here to surrender to and embody the body of Love that we are and are a part of and live this Divinity through our every move. ‘To surrender is to surrender to the greater flow. That is Universal Medicine.’ – Amen to that.
Thank God men still wear shirts with collars, and thank God one of them is Serge Benhayon, without whom the world would be lost. Liane’s beautiful story is proof of what this wisdom has reawakened in us. And eventually the whole world will have this story.
I love the way you say that Lyndy, in the full knowing that true sense will prevail.
Rachel Mascord, your words always sing to me…”we are Universal beings, whose essence beats to a vaster drum than can be imagined. Our fight against that is rendered real in the human ache.” This is exquisite truth. We identify with our pain for in it we are afforded an excuse to not be the love that we are. It is like being the one responsible for a discordant note in a heavenly choir. We beat ourselves up for not singing in tune but we can’t sing in tune if we are in pain and because we are in pain, we can’t sing in tune. Aha! The self-perpetuating cycle of the human spirit exposed.
And all the spirit need do is stop pummelling the human being with its invisible little fists. All the human being need do is say “stop!”
The cycle broken.
Im with You Dr Rachel “… who speaks the wisdom of healing from a body that lives it in full”. You can say it another way “his intelligence comes from his body” – a body that is aligned to the Universe.
Thank you Liane, a beautiful, true and simple message delivered in a way that anyone could connect to. It’s now evident that seeing the body’s dis-ease is not because of something outside of ourselves, but from fighting the true connection to who we are – LOVE. The sooner we recognize this, the sooner the pain and suffering will be diminished, and understanding and awareness of the purpose of our body will be our living experience.
I really loved your sharing here Liane.
It is so simple, fresh, light and real. Accepting that our body belongs to the call of the Universe is very beautiful and supports me to surrender even more to what my body holds within and to feel lovingly what it needs now to support it in full. Thank you.
