I find the body absolutely extraordinary in the way it functions. Just this morning I was reminded how amazingly it just keeps on doing what it does, regardless of what we do to it, up until the point that it cannot support us any longer. What I also came to think about was how and why things occur in the body and how the way we are living with the body must have an effect on it. Science these days knows a great deal about how the body functions but still there are the questions that go unanswered as to why things actually occur. There are extraordinary experts in knowing how to deal with something once it has occurred, but the bigger struggle is still trying to understand why things occur. For example: why do cells starts to divide in a way that later on leads to cancer?
To try and understand all of this I went to the Cancer Research UK website (1) and read about how cancer starts and I read:
“All cancers begin in cells. Our bodies are made up of more than a hundred million million (100,000,000,000,000) cells. Cancer starts with changes in one cell or a small group of cells.”
“Usually we have just the right number of each type of cell. This is because cells produce signals to control how much and how often the cells divide. If any of these signals are faulty or missing, cells may start to grow and multiply too much and form a lump called a tumour. Where the cancer starts is called the primary tumour.”
“For a cancer to start, certain changes take place within the genes of a cell or a group of cells.”
Just by reading this I feel quite humble, as you get to know that the cells obviously know exactly what to do to give us optimal health. They are like our own little soldiers of health inside our body and they work around the clock to keep everything going. But there is obviously something that can happen that makes the cells behave in a way that is not their usual way, or you could say that they lose their natural rhythm and flow in how to behave. And this starts, from what I have read, in the genes in the cell:
“Normally genes make sure that cells grow and reproduce in an orderly and controlled way. They make sure that more cells are produced as they are needed to keep the body healthy.”
“Sometimes a change happens in the genes when a cell divides. The change is called a mutation. It means that a gene has been damaged or lost or copied twice. Mutations can happen by chance when a cell is dividing. Some mutations mean that the cell no longer understands its instructions and starts to grow out of control. There have to be about half a dozen different mutations before a normal cell turns into a cancer cell.”
By reading this you can almost feel that in its healthy state, the body is at rest with itself, there is a harmony and rhythm in which the body and its cells cooperate and work in a homeostatic, self-sustaining way. However and contrary to that, in illness and disease you can feel how the body has become out of balance. Something has happened that makes the body act in a way as if it has to defend itself. The former harmony has changed into alert mode and there is a feeling of stress upon the body.
But my inquisitive mind wants to ask: why do these cell mutations occur? I read from the website that:
“Mutations can happen by chance when a cell is dividing. They can also be caused by the processes of life inside the cell. Or they can be caused by things coming from outside the body, such as the chemicals in tobacco smoke. And some people can inherit faults in particular genes that make them more likely to develop a cancer.”
“Some genes get damaged every day and cells are very good at repairing them. But over time, the damage may build up. And once cells start growing too fast, they are more likely to pick up further mutations and less likely to be able to repair the damaged genes.”
So from reading this, I realise that the way life is outside of the cells is paramount to how life plays out inside of the cells. This means that the cells know exactly what to do and how to behave if there is harmony within and around them, but if there is stress and disharmony they might work for a certain amount of time, but eventually the force that is working against the body makes the cells eventually go out of rhythm and form what we then call, in this case, cancer.
Just by becoming more aware of how the body actually works, I have become more humble and am treating my body with the utmost care, since it cares for me every day.
Universal Medicine is the leading organisation in understanding how the body works in its entirety and also why the body does what it does in terms of breaking down when it develops different forms of illnesses and diseases. From the teachings presented by Serge Benhayon I understand that the body is made up from particles that are also a part of a universe that has a very precise and delicate order. This means that the particles of our body respond to what is going on in the universe and that we have a rhythm to adhere to, as does everything else in the universe.
So from this I realise that how I am with myself is important, because I know that the cells within me will respond accordingly. If I am harsh and not listening to the signals I get from my body, then the cells also have to work harder to keep everything going. And on the other hand, if I listen and go more gentle with myself, then the cells can bathe in a body that is warm and tender and that feels much more yummy.
I greatly appreciate what I have learned through Universal Medicine and also deeply value the gorgeous medical staff that are working patiently in the hospitals to look after us when we need their assistance. I also appreciate myself for being so open and willing to understand life and make changes if there are changes to be made, which make my inner environment even more delicate and tender.

‘If I am harsh and not listening to the signals I get from my body, then the cells also have to work harder to keep everything going. And on the other hand, if I listen and go more gentle with myself, then the cells can bathe in a body that is warm and tender and that feels much more yummy’ So much common sense here and yet the way we are living life in the twenty first century is a million miles away from gentle. I have found, like you though Matts, that when I consciously allow gentleness in my breath and in my body there is a grace that follows and I feel very lovely inside and out.
And there is so little we understand on so many levels about our bodies… Especially our brains… And especially of course the energy that drives us or that we live in and with.
Reading this brings it home to me how much we take our bodies for granted and have a huge expectation that it will always keep going right up until the end. And when that end comes what have we got to show for it; how have we lived?
The key word for me throughout your wonderful blog is ‘harmony’, and if the natural harmony of the body is disturbed in any way for a length of time, the millions of cells that comprise our precious bodies are eventually affected. Looking around at the lifestyles of the majority of humanity, it doesn’t take too long to see that very few are living in the harmony needed to maintain the necessary homeostasis, and if they do end up with an illness or disease the general reaction is to take no responsibility for what they have been presented with, blaming it on something outside of themselves. Caring deeply for our wonderful body is definitely the first step to maintain cellular harmony and optimum health.
“they lose their natural rhythm and flow in how to behave” the cells of the physical human body are like the particles of the Universe in that there is a natural rhythm and flow for all to work in harmony but if there is disharmony imposed on the one it is felt by all.
It’s amazing how science is able to explain what goes on in our body at the cellular level, and how cancer is formed. And what they say just so perfectly aligns with the Ageless Wisdom. I cannot help wondering – it must be far easier and simpler if science welcomed God into their realm as part of equation to make sense of how and why of what is.
It would make sense that our bodies respond to many more stimuli than we currently know. It is an extraordinarily complex mechanism.
To stop and ponder on the marvels that go on in every single cell in our body, of which there are millions, we cannot but be in awe of how they all work in unison to keep our bodies working as they do. So if we mistreat our body in any way, is it any wonder that sometimes our cells ‘malfunction’. To expect everything to continue to work harmoniously inside us, if we continue to abuse ourselves in any way, however small, is in fact just plain and simple arrogance.
Yes, it’s always about the quality.
The human body is an amazing thing, it looks after itself, and all we need to do is feed and rest it, the difference is in the quality we choose to eat and rest our body which in turn brings in harmony.
“If I am harsh and not listening to the signals I get from my body, then the cells also have to work harder to keep everything going….” This makes so much sense and when put in such simple terms, it does seem ridiculous that we would put our bodies under so much pressure at the expense of our overall health.
It’s amazing how every cell knows what it is to be used for in the body and how to develop itself to achieve its goal.
And that is just on a functioning level. From what I understand every cell in our body has the potential for a huge amount of output energy-wise, still I suspect it’s not utilized much at all.
I love the simplicity of ‘the way life is outside of the cells is paramount to how life plays out inside of the cells.’
Traditional medicine is saying more and more what Universal Medicine also presents: the way we live can be our best medicine.
How beautifully simple this is. Being harmonious in all areas of our lives not only promotes great relationships but also a great state of health. We all benefit all round.
Yes, it seems to dramatically improve our odds to have an improved or great state of health.
Look after our inner environment and maybe our outer environment will change as a result of this as we care for ourselves more.
‘So from this I realise that how I am with myself is important, because I know that the cells within me will respond accordingly. If I am harsh and not listening to the signals I get from my body, then the cells also have to work harder to keep everything going. And on the other hand, if I listen and go more gentle with myself, then the cells can bathe in a body that is warm and tender and that feels much more yummy.’ And then this is the body that you take out to the world and the world benefits from the choices you have made. We all affect one another all the time, it cannot be any other way.
We have become very good at diagnosis and treatments but we are still very much in the dark about the causes of illness and disease. We know a lot of detail and associations but there seems a lot more to understand.
It is lovely to be talking about our inner environment… There is so much talk about the environment per se… People are so eager to be activists about preserving the environment… And here we have the wonderful idea of preserving our inner environment is an absolute priority.
When we understand that every part of our body has a vibration that when working at its highest potential, vibrates in tune with the rest of the Universe, it becomes clear to see that anything we do to ourselves that lowers that vibration is going to impact on how we are both in ourselves and then how we interact with the rest of the world.
The insight that Universal Medicine and its presentations offer humanity on what is actually happening in our bodies is priceless.
I agree, you got so much money being spent on research on what is the cause of different ailments yet the answer is right there if we are willing to see it.
I visited a relative recently who has just had a baby who was just a few days old. I was reminded of the absolute miracle of birth, and how amazing the human body is that it can co-create another human being and then go through the process of giving birth to it in all its tiny, divine glory. How amazing would it be if all babies were nurtured, honoured and deeply cared for in the same way from the day they were born, throughout their entire lives until the day they passed away, with the knowing and accepting that they are worth taking care of simply because of who they are.
It is interesting that schoolchildren are taught about being good citizens but that we are not taught how to simply live in a way that supports our body to be as healthy as it can be. This has led to the massive health issues that we are now faced with and the financial and societal pressures that come from this.
True Helen, we should support children to care and nurture their bodies, to make them aware that the choices they make connects them with the harmonious flow within themselves so they keep in touch with who they are.
Beautiful to feel your appreciation for how you are supported by your body and the growing responsibility you are willing to take to live in harmony with yourself.
Cells know exactly what to do, it’s our refusal to adhere to the order and harmony our body knows so well that often makes it look like we have to fight the process of healing that comes in a form of illness and disease. We are so incredibly looked after.
It is so important that our children learn this… And of course that their teachers know this and live this so that there are day to day reflections of the absolute importance of nurturing our bodies
I couldn’t agree more! Such a simple place to start with nurturing our bodies, particularly when this is learnt from childhood.
Exactly… And that is where we must start… In childhood… And yet, how do young children truly learn? By reflection!
Delicate and tender…..a beautiful way to be with my body today
Thank you Matts a great understanding of how amazing our body naturally is, the more we listen to the communication from our body, the more we are able to additionally support its natural function.
I was marvelling at the human body just yesterday, and how it has the incredible capacity to heal itself when given the full care and support to do so. By bringing our full love and attention to the smallest details of how we take care of ourselves and how we do anything, we are supporting our body to function in the divinely harmonious way that it was designed to work.
It is clear that we can support our body’s healing process and we may be able to be much more effective at this than we realise.
A lovely reminder to treat my body with the utmost care and tenderness today as I’m feeling tired with a busy day ahead. Coming back to the simplicity of feeling my feet and feeling what is there to be felt without pushing and drive to get things done.
It stands to reason that someone in harmony with themselves and who doesn’t cause self inflicted harm like smoking or drinking is infinitely less likely to get an illness or disease and we all know this, so the question is and it is a big one, why do we not treat our most amazing bodies with the utmost love and respect that they deserve?
I think it’s because we like to be the master of it when in fact we are the ones that needs to be the servants of our bodies.
We tend to think of intelligence as something confined to our brain but there is an innate intelligence throughout our whole body that knows what true harmony is and intricately works to maintain this – I wonder what our lives would look like if we paid more attention to that form of intelligence, from our whole body?
Our lives, our relationships and the world would look completely different if we would pay more attention to whole body intelligence and act upon the communication that our body offers us.
It sure would, and we would also feel the love that is naturally there between people because particles do not discern whether one’s skin colour might be different than another’s. Particles are particles. Felt to mention that in these times when we focus so much on the differences between us rather than the fact that we are pretty much all the same.
Great reminder that it is how we are with ourselves that determines the body we end up with..
Thank you for the reminder of the delicate nature of our bodies.
The innate flow, order and harmony of the particles of our body is amazing to behold and consider and it makes me appreciate my body and the wisdom within us.
Just today I was talking about how full-on it would be, to be a practicing Doctor or Nurse in this modern climate, with the amount of damage we are causing ourselves through ill lifestyle choices and environmental factors, I imagine what they would see on a daily basis would be overwhelming to say the least.
Lifestyle, quality of energy and movement play a huge roll in the health epidemics we face as a society. One day we will figure out that we already hold to key to our own salvation and maybe a few people will remember that we heard it first in 1999 from Universal Medicine.
Great call Sarah.
I love this understanding that how we are with ourselves affects our cells. It just goes to show that how we are with ourselves along with our lifestyle choices affects our health.
Just like our cells it is important to consider how the quality we live in life can be in natural harmony and order or in a tension and agitation which is not our natural body state.
Our body is such an amazing vehicle, one that ought to be honoured and cherished.
” in its healthy state, the body is at rest with itself, there is a harmony and rhythm in which the body and its cells cooperate and work in a homeostatic, self-sustaining way. However and contrary to that, in illness and disease you can feel how the body has become out of balance..” Yes and it feels great that life-style medicine is at last appearing on the menu in doctors surgeries – catching up with Universal Medicine that has been presenting this for over seventeen years now. We make our illness, so surely we can support in its un-making?
We have so much to learn about the human body and its intricate and delicate inner workings right down to our cell level, and understanding how and why our cells mutate is definitely fundamental to that process. Great blog Matts.
Coming back to the cells and their absolute intelligence, all working as they do, without our conscious awareness shows there is so much more to us and the universe than we are prepared to see.
Exactly Rachel….just starting to be aware of what our cells are up to is incredible
And when we read about the extraordinary life of our cells, we cannot but remember that … every cell belongs to God
I cannot help but say that it feels like there’s a song in there cjames2012!
I loved coming back to this today and reminding myself that it’s not the outside that matters, but how we are in each moment and bring to it, that dictates how we feel about everything else. My primary responsibility is to not to get in the way of my body’s natural harmonious way of working, and that then supports everything else.
I love the simplicity in which this blog is written, that makes me feel and understand in my own body the interconnection of everything in life.
I love how my body is always communicating with me, whether it is an ache or pain, a feeling of lightness or heaviness, vitality or tiredness, the yes’s and no’s it gives me about choices, my connection with God and divinity.. Amazing for sure.. truly amazing.
We have much more power than we think when it comes to our health and well being…. I love how you have shown this through the ability to live a stress free life where the body and its rhythm are honoured and its functions can remain unimposed upon so to allow its cells to function and respond in kind and not be tainted by the messages that are sent when stress and disharmony are introduced.
Every time I see the title of this blog I have to read it again! Our bodies are profoundly amazing and it makes me ponder on the universal intelligence they express in every single microcosmic moment and how this is within us, part of us and therefore available to us in every single microcosmic moment too.
It is quite remarkable that the body is always working to restore its balance and harmony from the disharmonious way we choose to live, illness and disease being our indicator that how we are living is not harmonious.
This is the second blog I have read that has focused on the study of the cells in our body and how they end up being cancerous. I have found this and the other blog I read absolutely fascinating, I just cannot understand why this is not common knowledge? I mean, if the cancer cell is so scary and damaging, I mean it’s the big bad C after all… then why, when it is surrounded by cells that are harmoniously working in the common order, does it simply revert back to become a normal cell? Is that not enough to bring the world to their collective knees when it comes to this disease? Is that not the answer to cancer? Live harmoniously and in line with the order of the universe and the cells that are a part of nature and God’s grand design will simply know what to do.
You nail it here, what goes on with the cells in our body in a micro form, is what has been going on since the dawn to our time around the world in a micro form. We have been slowly individualising ourselves, looking to be in charge, not releasing that we are the whole, not really understanding that we are the mutated cell on the planet, we are the cancer. I am not saying that in a doom and gloom way but more to shed light on the fact that, we need to align to all that’s on offer, we need to harmonize to truly free ourselves from the fight.
I love that our bodies are connected to the universe through particles and we can align to the divine rhythm and flow of the All through how we live and care for ourselves. Truly Amazing.
A great reminder of how when we work in harmony with ourselves and adhere to our natural rhythm, the body also works in harmony and in rhythm with itself too, as soon as we disrupt that harmony we also disrupt the body’s natural flow too.
The bottom line is that we all need to listen to our bodies and treat them with the gentleness and respect they were designed to be treated in.
Absolutely Kev. Our bodies are as precious as the beings they enhouse.
Thank you Matts for beautifully reminding us how amazing our bodies are, the more we appreciate our body the more we naturally appreciate our planet too.
Yes because they are all made up from the same stuff yes (Particles that is).
Our cells are a microcosm of our bodies which are a microcosm of our planet … everything reflected… within and without.
Matts it certainly is very humbling when you realise how the wisdom and intelligence of the body is always working towards keeping us in balance and harmonious within, down to every cell. I too appreciate so much the messages and signs my body give me and have chosen to take loving care and nurture my body to support it with this, a choice I continue to deepen.
I love that our bodies are made up of particles of the universe. It’s obvious when I write this now because everything within the universe is made up of universal particles! But what I love is that when I let myself connect to this beautiful truth, I feel the space of the universe within me and the potential to live in a truly universal way.
It seems we often are in fight with our own bodies yet if we honoured them in full knowing that they “fight” to restore us to harmony, things might be rather different.
Universal Medicine really does provide an extraordinary overview of what is happening in our bodies… A holistic, complementary, spherical, extraordinarily sagacious understanding of the whole picture not just the individual parts.
The body knows exactly what to do at any given time if we allow it. The key word here is allow!
The body is the most amazing vehicle, and incredible how sensitive it can be when we allow it to be.
Currently I am doing an anatomy and physiology course, it’s the stuff I learnt at school no different. But through the inspiration of Universal Medicine and the reverence and appreciation for the body that it is given, I am doing this course with a far greater sense of humility. Our bodies work tirelessly to maintain and restore harmony and our choices have a huge role and responsibility in supporting or delaying and denying this process and state of being.
I love the reminder here of how incredible the body is to keep functioning and when one area is depleted it borrows from another to keep going. On a practical level we end up with deficiencies and imbalances, but the body is absolutely committed to functioning. The quality of that functioning depends on how we treat it.
The miracle and amazingness of what the body is and represents is in its unwavering alignment to order and harmony, ie the universal laws and cycles it is part of. Thus the body is the marker of truth for how we as a being are in relationship with the universe. Being in disharmony causes a jarring of some sort that will seek correction as e.g. through illness and disease.
Our physical body is a miracle and deserves to be treated lovingly and with respect; after all, we take it everywhere and are not ever in it, as long as we are alive.
This is a healthy state, no doubt, none of struggling or chaos of not supporting our cells “By reading this you can almost feel that in its healthy state, the body is at rest with itself, there is a harmony and rhythm in which the body and its cells cooperate and work in a homeostatic, self-sustaining way.” I love this, I can feel in my bones that this harmony makes sense and needs to be where we are heading in terms of our health and how we approach it.
When we celebrate the magnitude of how amazing we really are and have this as our every day understanding of who we are, every moment from this place has the same opportunity to be the same. Is that not worth living it for, that by living what we know is true inspires others to live this also.
I feel quite humble too after reading about the millions and millions of cells in our body and how they know what to do to keep us in good health, which brings a greater understanding of just how important it is that we are loving and tender in all our movements, including the not so visible movements of our thoughts which can be very harsh and destructive. I can feel that self love and self appreciation is what truly nourishes my cells.
We have dismissed and overlooked how we care for our bodies way too long, not appreciating that the way we hold, care for and carry ourselves in life can contribute to its health and wellbeing.
“Just by becoming more aware of how the body actually works, I have become more humble and am treating my body with the utmost care, since it cares for me every day.” How beautiful Mats and what an inspiring sharing of how we can love and look after our amazing body and all this offers us to live who we truly are.
‘The particles of our body are part of and aligned to the rhythm of the Universe. We are designed to flow in line with the vibration of love that the Universe is made of. It makes sense that when we keep making choices that do not hold that quality our cells and our whole body will suffer.
In understanding why things occur to our bodies we have the opportunity to understand that the quality of energy that we live our lives in all ends up in our bodies.
It’s all in there, ready and waiting to be reflected back out… and that applies to the glory we naturally are and the abuse that we mete out on ourselves.
My question is what makes a cell change? What comes before that? What Serge Benhayon has presented over the years has answered this…it’s the energy we are in which results in the choices that we make and vice versa. “Everything is energy, which means that everything is because of energy” So it makes sense that our cells, our building blocks, respond to this and then act on this. Our bodies really are incredible instruments. It actually does not make sense then to be self critical or self damning of our bodies at all.
Just by recognizing that there is an etheric body before the physical will open up a lot for mainstream medicine I feel. We usually look at the physical body to find the answers, and we can go down on a microscopic level to look at what is going on in the cell but nevertheless there is something happening before that influences the cell to do what it does in front of our eyes. We trust that the scientists do their utmost to find the answers but then we need to put some pressure on them to look outside their imagination of what can cause illness and disease. Serge Benhayon does that very well.
“I find the body absolutely extraordinary in the way it functions. Just this morning I was reminded how amazingly it just keeps on doing what it does, regardless of what we do to it, up until the point that it cannot support us any longer.”
Well said Matts, the body is functioning and mostly as long it functions we are fine with it. I realize that when I use my body in a mere functional way, I miss out and my body does not feel full and vibrant.
The body is remarkable as to how it really does come together and do everything that is designed to be. One thing that I have really been fascinated by is how when we surrender, let go and open up our bodies are extremely responsive to any choice and the quality in how it is going to communicate with you.
Spot on blog that anything that plays out on the outside is the reality of what is going on in the inside. How is that for a call out for responsibility?
I too Matts greatly appreciate what we have all experienced through Universal Medicine courses and really love that I now have in my life all the information I need to do as you share “if I listen and go more gentle with myself, then the cells can bathe in a body that is warm and tender and that feels much more yummy.” To really feel this in the body is so delicious and tangible, it is what we are all craving – love.
Matts this is wonderful. You have made the science of how cancers can start very accessible. You also bring home the message that every one of our cells is important and thus the environment that we keep them in is vital. Taking care of our bodies is then paramount if we want to give our cells the best chance of doing their jobs, and it’s not just about the food and drink we put inside our bodies, but how we think, move and treat ourselves.
The more I appreciate how amazing our bodies are the more I can see the innate intelligence that is within us all – throughout our whole body. Oftentimes we can think of intelligence as being something confined to being in our brain but that just doesn’t make sense to me when you consider the wonder of how our whole body works…
Our body has the potential to hold an order and flow on the inside, much like the order and flow of the stars, planets and solar systems in the night sky.
“Just by becoming more aware of how the body actually works, I have become more humble and am treating my body with the utmost care, since it cares for me every day.” there is no doubt that our bodies are truly amazing, they are there to support us, they are there to allow us to express through them yet until I met Serge I thought my body was my weakness, it would get sick, I could not “push through” all the time. today I appreciate my body as my greatest gift.
What a beautiful understanding of our bodies , our particles we are made of and the universe and how we are all part of this rhythm and flow and the appreciation of this is essential in our lives our health and the universal medicine we all belong to.
Yes to bathing our particles in a warm and tender body, I can feel the spacious and expansion when our bodies are in harmony and following a natural order.
Our cells are like our own little soldiers of health inside our body and they work around the clock to keep everything going. How amazing is this with our cells. Super impressive and totally divine.
Reading this today it felt like the same thing happens in us when we do not express the whole truth, it leads to misunderstandings and complications, it grows a cancer in the world.
I also appreciate myself for being so open and willing to understand life and make changes if there are changes to be made, which make my inner environment even more delicate and tender. And we deeply appreciate your contribution and tenderness Matts. Thank-you.
What is so amazing to feel, is how much better I feel when I bring my full focus to how I take care of my body and act on what it is asking for. The consequences of this simply cannot be denied. Our bodies literally are amazing!
Our bodies are constantly working to maintain a harmony within it regardless of what comes our way in life. I appreciate that the more I follow how my body feels to be in a situation, more and more I feel steady in the flow of life. Our feelings flow with life whereas the mind can drive a very rigid set ideal of what life should be rather than accepting how it is and what needs to be changed / lived in harmony with the moment.
our bodies our magnificent keepers of harmony when we allow them to be so, and support it with the utmost care. It is our responsibility to choose a life of healing instead of polluting our bodies with emotions. The body is a truly beautiful mechanism that is trully intelligent.
Our cells are amazing, the brotherhood and sticking to purpose, in detail, that is expressed by them is amazing and inspiring…no self involved, just get on with life, in this symbiotic flow that offers us much to ponder on about life, including as you have said, how they are affected when the environment is not as it could be, the optimum, that is, when this changes they suffer…this is something we do not get taught, but we should, we would view what we put in our bodies as fuel, be it food or emotions, differently.
I look at the human body and I think it’s literally incredible all the things it can do and all the little details and parts that make us up and make us healthy or unwell.
‘Just by becoming more aware of how the body actually works, I have become more humble and am treating my body with the utmost care, since it cares for me every day.’ How lovely Matts, and how awful and punishing when we don’t.
Wise words here Matts: “I realise that the way life is outside of the cells is paramount to how life plays out inside of the cells.” So what you are saying is that how we are in the world each and every day, will impact on the cells that are living and alive within us. That if we are constantly at ourselves, due to what is going on around us, or impacted by everyone and everything, we are going to be impacted by that inside of us. Makes sense to me.
We prize advanced technology and state of the art science tricks, yet all the time we are walking around with the most advanced system you can find. A super sensitive receiver, hot-wired into the wisdom of the Universe, aligned and constantly able to download messages from God, able to see through the illusions of physical form, to detect disturbances in energy and read the history of the future through the cells of everything. The list goes on! If you read this list of specifications your jaw would drop open yet this amazingness is in fact, right under your nose, in your arms, your heart, your chest. You show us Matts unmistakably, that our body is a vehicle for us to know divinity.
It’s funny how we might think that our mind alone is the seat of intelligence rather than appreciating the incredible intelligence of our whole body and all its intricate and interlinked workings that go on without us having to direct them with our mind!
“…the way life is outside of the cells is paramount to how life plays out inside of the cells…” this is a great tip to remember as the way we live as seen on the outside can reflect how our body is on the inside.
“I realise that the way life is outside of the cells is paramount to how life plays out inside of the cells.”. This makes so much sense because everything in life is interwoven and every choice that we make affects everything. In this way everything that we do, say and think in life is on open display whether we choose to see it or not.
Great question Edurado, do we even stop to appreciate what our bodies even do for us, the foundations it is building, the holding us together, the hard work it goes through to support us everyday in our every movement. There really is lots to think about and ponder on, our bodies do much more than we can even image.
Yes, appreciating how amazing our bodies are and how they naturally know how to keep ourselves safe is awe-inspiring in itself. When the body is not harmonious, has constant stress or is bombarded by an outside poison such as smoking or alcohol, we simply add pressure to a system that naturally knows perfect equilibrium. I am humbled by what our body knows and my arrogance to presume it can cope with some of my ‘suitable-truth’ choices which make it work unecessarily hard just so I can feel a moment of pleasure.
It is pretty amazing how our bodies just know what to do, and how and when to do it. If we left them alone to their own devices they’d be thriving in their own natural equilibrium. It’s just us as in the self, that gets in the way, overrides messages, and wants everything our way, instead of respecting and adhering to the body’s natural harmonious way of being.
From the inside out we can develop a really incredible, respectful relationship with our bodies and I enjoy getting to know my physiology on a cellular level.
I actually feel quite blessed by the magic of the body and how it is forever working to keep itself in an harmonious and balanced state no matter what we choose to put it through. The body really really needs to be deeply valued and honoured and held in the beauty of what it is.
What I find interesting is that when we are faced with a problem like cancer as a human race currently we go more and more into our minds to try and come up with the solution or answer assuming that the body is the problem and the mind will be our salvation, when the truth is the exact opposite.
The sensitivity of the body emerges from a depth of minutiae from our particles and builds from there. The body speaks to us in messages like tension, aches and pains, skin blemishes, cramps, nausea, indigestion, headaches, and the list goes on. There is much to be learned about the wisdom of the body and what it can teach us as a person, and as a race.
“the cells know exactly what to do and how to behave if there is harmony within and around them” the very same can be said of the whole organism as we look at this micro scale as a reflection of our whole body.
There is nothing more amazing than feeling our true source of energy in our body.
It is amazing how the body in its different responses such as cancer shows us that somehow we are not living in its natural rhythm and order. The body, like nature, naturally follows an order that is in harmony most of the time, at other times it is reflecting that we are out of that natural harmony.
We go about our day most of the time completely forgetting about our body and the absolute divine magic that is happening within it all the time .. it seems crazy that we could forget or dismiss something so incredibly intricate, beautifull and magical.
I agree Vicky and I particularly like the word ‘intricate’ in the way it honours the fine detail that is in every cell of our body; the messaging between them and the delicate balance of everything.
I can feel the call of the importance of bringing more love, care and harmony to my body through reading this today, thank you.
It’s so important to have an understanding of how the body works. This for me brings an appreciation of all that it does, which is quite phenomenal and I now have a deeper respect for my body and want to take care of it.
I love this… that respect for your body builds the inspiration to take more and more care. Big picture: the better we care for ourselves the less we require the support of a health care system that is collapsing under the weight of rising illness and disease.
Great reminder that how we take care of ourselves, and indeed anything that we do, has wider implications than just us, always.
Yes, the body is amazing isn’t it, as once we surrender and give the time to observe our momentums (our automatic pilot body habits we go about doing what we do) the body without any harsh berate, exposes the adopted measures we have taken on to get through life.
It makes total sense that the way we live will then affect how our body is. Often we can literally see the effects of people’s choices just in the way their body looks. if someone continually overeats it is obvious. If someone lifts weights in the gym regularly it is obvious. If someone overworks constantly it is obvious. The body reflects our choices. So this cannot but be the same in little ways. Our moods, our emotions, our thoughts, our choices on a daily basis – they all have an effect on the energy and the chemistry of the body. We create our own body. We can destroy it or we can support it to be vital, it is our choice.
‘Universal Medicine is the leading organisation in understanding how the body works in its entirety and also why the body does what it does in terms of breaking down when it develops different forms of illnesses and diseases. From the teachings presented by Serge Benhayon I understand that the body is made up from particles that are also a part of a universe that has a very precise and delicate order. ‘
So true Matts, Serge Benhayon brings it all to light. My relationship with my body and how I can care for myself has been completely revolutionised.
The amazingness of our body and the absolute harmony and flow that we come from and our body responds to is very special and something to really appreciate and see. From this our love and care becomes an ever growing increasing awareness and joy to live and be. And the abuse and disregard we live can be seen and called out and stopped from this place lovingly also, with the potential to change everything.
It appears to me that we human beings have become so arrogant with our belief in the power of our mind when all along there are over 100 million, million cells within us that have an intelligence, that makes what we champion as intelligence look absolutely minuscule. So maybe we have got it all wrong and that it’s the body that has the incredible intelligence and the mind is simply the trickster that loves to lead us all astray; this I have come to know without a shadow of a doubt.
I too am deeply appreciative for being introduced to Universal Medicine and having the openness and willingness to explore the teachings that they have on offer. This has changed my life and the relationship with my body is continually developing and deepening day by day. Seriously a complete turn around to where I used to be and abusing myself in what we call ‘normal’ behaviours.
Thank you Matts… yes we do need to understand SO much more…. When we read what true science writes about the body (when they are being honest) they admit that they understand so little and yet the bizarre holding onto empirical (prove it to me) evidence means they will always be groping in the dark… and yes Universal Medicine is essential for our understanding, experience and evolution as a species.
Medicine and Serge Benhayon: Everything is everything so if we treat ourselves with disregard then of course that is what the cells in our body receive. Our body then has to work hard to keep going under the load of disregard until eventually it gets so much that it comes out in illness and disease.
Our bodies are truly amazing, they continuously strive to keep balance and harmony in the cells, and when we have abused them long enough that this can no longer be, they create pain, illness and disease so that we can no longer ignore the ways in which we disregard it.
Like anything when we impose lovelessness or neediness on it, it can whither and not be its full self. Your blog is very humbling Matts, how much is working to support us to be all of who we are within our bodies and within the universe.
It is amazing how the body responds to us taking more self care, and if we listen and learn from the body we can start to understand the language of the body, and that nothing is ever communicated for no good reason.
This is a great point: there is nothing our body tells us that is that is not being highlighted for good reason. The more we are willing to ‘listen’ the better we get at ‘reading’ the signs. Then we have a true choice about any actions and/or changes required.
“…the body is made up from particles that are also a part of a universe that has a very precise and delicate order…” This gives an expansion and food for thought to the theory of ‘The God Particle’, and our relationship with astronomy, quantum physics and epigenetics – that everything about human existence is related to energy.
caught up in its own complexity, dogma and self-promotion of its established theories, it seems sometimes that science fails to recognise or is completely blinded to the true awe and wonderment of the harmony and order that is playing out before our eyes.
Wow you are right Matts our bodies are amazing, not only can we connect with the universe through them we hold the light of God in every cell.
indeed, there is a wisdom within that we chose to ignore or pretend that we are its victim, rather than a co-creator in this inner world
I don’t feel we do realise how precious, what our bodies can truly offer, and the magic that can come through them, or we would never ever do 99% of the harm we do to them.
Reading this Matts brings a huge appreciation to how utterly remarkable the human body is and what it does every single day, and every single moment of every single day to keep everything working as efficiently and effectively as possible so that we can live our lives. It is quite crazy how we dont give it the due attention and respect that it deserves. Im just wondering how we would treat it if we truly appreciated that it deserves the same deep love, care and attention that we would automatically give to a baby? In truth, it should be no different.
Just love coming back to this article and the appreciation of our bodies, for all those that make it their job to look after them and for ourselves too in making choices that support the body to come back to the truth and love that it holds.
Universal Medicine and conventional medicine make a powerful partnership in the treatment of illness and disease.
I also appreciate dearly what I have learnt from Universal Medicine and look forward to the day the teachings of Serge Benhayon and the Ancient Wisdom are combined with the break throughs of modern medicine so we get a much greater understanding of health and wellbeing.
I agree Kevin it will change the face of medicine and build our understanding of our bodies and how to truly take care of them.
Your blog is great to read as it reminds and confirms to me just how amazing our body is.
A beautiful appreciation for our body and its amazingness that we are not usually party to allowing the care and attention to our selves and others from the beauty and flow within with responsibility and love.
It won’t be too much longer until science catches up with the evidence of Serge Benhayon and the teachings of Universal Medicine. There are hundreds of students that I look at now and see the enormous changes that have taken place.
Thank you Matts for reminding me of the incredible bodies we all have and how to look after it.
“From the teachings presented by Serge Benhayon I understand that the body is made up from particles that are also a part of a universe that has a very precise and delicate order. This means that the particles of our body respond to what is going on in the universe and that we have a rhythm to adhere to, as does everything else in the universe.” When we can understand this, everything else makes so much sense. It’s no wonder that we feel ‘out of sorts’ and things go wrong around us, if we are not living in this natural rhythm with the Universe.
The intelligence of our body is quite hard to be understood by the intelligence of the mind.
When we bump into something hard enough we get a bruise, when we fall we can have a wound, so it makes sense that what we do in life has also impact on our cells. It is invisible, so it is not common knowledge but it deeply makes sense.
Just as water vapour can become ice, so too is the intelligence of our body formlessness becoming form.
Imagine that, we humans live in a body where our cells support us continually but we often live in a way that disturbs and harms our own cells. This says a lot about how disconnected we are from the natural rhythms of life, beginning by being disconnected from the natural rhythms of our body.
This is so true Melinda. How different our lives would be, and as a result how different the world would be if we chose to live from these natural rhythms rather than ignoring and overriding them.
This is a great blog to return to read as it humbles the reader, reminding them about the amazingness of our body. Just reading the blog naturally brings me into a deeper connection with my own body, and in this connection, you can’t help but feel in awe, marvel at and appreciate yourself that bit more. Thank you for sharing!
The intelligence of the body is far beyond what the mind can comprehend. Yet for most people, it is the mind that has dominion.
“Universal Medicine is the leading organisation in understanding how the body works in its entirety and also why the body does what it does in terms of breaking down when it develops different forms of illnesses and diseases.” Universal Medicine presents a practical, lived understanding of how energy works within and through the body – Its a fundamental science that can no longer be reserved for the people in white coats, for it teaches us who we intrinsically are.
It’s incredible what our bodies can do, what they can put up with in the sense of the abuse we can put it through. I know when I was treating it like this, I always knew that I was harming myself and it simply got to a point when I knew I couldn’t continue in such loveless actions. Feeling amazing today and loving the care and attention I give myself on a daily basis.
Beautiful Matts a joy to read and see the difference we can all make to our lives others by taking care and truly appreciating all we are and our amazingness . This allows a harmony flow and natural health and well being and a vibrancy that is infectious and contagious at the same time from within our bodies and the world and the universe an wow an amazing responsibility for us all.
“Universal Medicine is the leading organisation in understanding how the body works in its entirety and also why the body does what it does in terms of breaking down when it develops different forms of illnesses and diseases.”
I agree, it wasn’t until l started my study with Universal Medicine that l began the journey back to appreciating the magnificence of my body and the magic and wisdom within.
Could it be that our cells follow a natural order that is harmonious until we live in disharmony and against that natural flow?
Working in health care and having a rudimentary understanding of our physiology really enhances my relationship with, and respect for, my body. I can ‘see’ everything that is involved for all the movements we make and the more I understand the more I marvel…
Universal Medicine does indeed open the doors of perception to all of us to and understanding and experience of the world from a very different view point, and this revolutionary evolutionary perspective is exactly what we all can benefit from.
It’s not rocket science that how we treat our bodies, either with harshness, or with true self -nurturing and self-care – will have an enormous impact on how we are and express in the world…but how hard is it to truly treat ourselves with that level of respect and care. We wouldn’t treat a 1 yr old baby abusively so why do we do it to ourselves. So it begs the question why do we self-abuse so consistently and comprehensively.
Awesome question Annie, one to be deeply pondered as most of us do not even know we are doing it to ourselves as well as to others.
I think a lot of it has to do with us conforming to a world we really don’t want to conform to but when we have we get resentful and use our own body as a punching bag for our not so wise choice. Not so wise logic there but a lot of us harm ourselves without really knowing why. It’s bizarre isn’t it that it seems harder to really look after ourselves than to trash ourselves?
This blog reminds me of how many different cycles and rhythms in life there are that we are naturally follow, until disharmony appears in the body and we act out of this natural order. From cells multiplying in cancer, to losing periods, overeating past hunger, addictions, bulimia, obsessive compulsive behaviours, talking too much or withdrawing from life. It would appear that there is some disconnection from the natural flow and order in life that occurs and perhaps that is evident in the quality that we live our lives.
Our bodies are incredibly fascinating and what we are capable of doing is miraculous. What is so fascinating is that the way we choose to live and the way we looked after our body is a direct reflection in how our bodies are communicating where we are at.
Ït is so important to see the bigger picture and get to see that all we do has an effect, it is that which brings us to being truly caring for our body.
This is so fascinating how everything is reflected in the body, our behaviours, our thoughts, our emotions and how our way of being with ourselves influences the physiology of our body.
‘from this I realise that how I am with myself is important, because I know that the cells within me will respond accordingly.’ It all comes back to self-responsibility , which is beautiful,
It makes a lot of sense that whatever energy we live with is going to affect our bodies and every particle that we are made up of – what is interesting is that we make choices in life that totally dismiss this obvious fact, as though we are determinded to bring ourselves down.
True, one day we will see that science will find out that everything that happens in the physical body has already happened energetically in our etheric body, the one that precedes the physical one.
This means that how I am with myself actually sends out this information to the universe since the particles I’m made up by are also part of the universe. So I can actually have a conversation with he universe just by the way I am with myself and I can also choose if I would like to contribute to the amazingness that exists out there.
When I consider the unseen world of vibrations and interrelationships of everything to each other, I instantly feel aware that this is the divine wonderment that the world is so missing.
I know, we are love starved. We need that play-full-ness back into our lives. The divine magic at play.
If someone would come up with a machine or technology matching the amazingness of the body and its incredible unfathomable physiology (mechanisms) we would call it a marvel and pay every price, but the body we don´t hesitate to treat like a cheap decommissioned household appliance.
How incredible is the body! An intricate system that works in simplicity and complete harmony when allowed.
It is humbling to think about how amazing the workings of our body is – with all its complexity and yet our cells and all the interactions of our body are innately pulled to be harmonious… And it makes me consider how much do I choose to work with that flow or disregard the body and think doesn’t matter…
Yes, I am humbled and inspired by the amazingness of our bodies and more and more willing to be guided and informed by mine.
What a beautiful sharing of the appreciation and amazingness of our bodies and the way it support us no matter what. The harmony and flow it loves and responds to makes so much difference and this can be really felt by the littlest things of love and caring we do. Honouring this makes all the difference or otherwise illness and disease sets in to cope and manage our way of living that does not honour this in so many ways and simply makes sense.
In my early twenties a close family member died from Motor Neuron Disease. This is a horrible disease where the neurons slowly die. If you want to move your arm it’s the neurons that carry the message to the arm to make the arm move. So as the neurons die, the messages still get sent but the arm doesn’t move. Nor does any other body part. Your mind is not affected as the body shuts itself down. I was amazed and floored at how long the body can keep functioning when things aren’t functioning. With no movement, the muscles die and the skin becomes floppy, eating is not possible, neither is going to the toilet, you can’t sit up straight and have to be in an adjustable wheelchair so that your head can stay back…and so on. Yet the body keeps going until the lungs become too weak to keep breathing. The body really is amazing to keep on doing what it does.
This is something I have pondered on but have not yet been able to grasp. I’ve wondered what the energetic cause of motor neurone disease is and what the significance of going through such torture in the body is all about. The physical side of it was horrific but I’ve not yet had much understanding of the energetic side of it.
It is indeed humbling to feel the intelligence of the body.
“particles in our body responded to what is going on in the universe and that they have a rhythm to adhere to.” this I felt in my body last night, that we have this vastness of intelligence, harmony and order to connect to and be moved by. How we have created a world that ‘forgets’ this is quite remarkable.
Having a natural curiousity to understanding life and our bodies can be a great asset in developing self-care and self-loving choices. First we need to listen and observe and then make choices which are more supportive.
“Just by becoming more aware of how the body actually works, I have become more humble and am treating my body with the utmost care, since it cares for me every day.” I can imagine if we were taught in depth about our body from an early age, not just in a weekly class in secondary school, that the level of care that most of us give to our bodies would skyrocket. Yes it is humbling to begin to understand the magnificence of our body and how it has an innate wisdom that we can connect to anytime we like.
What a beautiful appreciation and understanding of our body and its amazingness Matts and something that I have always marvelled about but never really understood the importance and responsibility of listening to all its messages it has been offering me. It has only been since knowing Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine that I have really started to appreciate my body, who i am and the amazing way it works for us and responds to the beauty honouring and deep care it loves and thrives on and the oneness and love of us all.
“There have to be about half a dozen different mutations before a normal cell turns into a cancer cell…” This is an interesting point to consider as if the body is the marker of truth, and if everything is energy, that indicates there is an ill or disharmonious energy preceding the development of a mutation, which is itself proceeded by ill or disharmonious behaviour patterns, negative thoughts, attitudes or lack of self-caring choices.
The intelligence of the body is amazing – all the more reason to keep it clear, clean and vital, so we can feel the difference and bring more awareness to ourselves when we go off track.
Thank God for science, psychology, philosophy and religion, which give me a greater understanding of how my particles interact with the universe so I can return to the evolutionary path and not be stuck in the past ideals about cell structure and cancer.

How we live is so key to our bodies – wow the fact that we don’t always consider in every moment the amount of work that our bodies are doing and the way our cells are working is almost arrogant. I for one know I have not taken this into my every movement and reading this blog just deeply confirms how important it is to listen and respond to or bodies.
This blog isn’t about creating a sense of self-blame if a person should have cancer at some stage of life, it’s a very common disease experience for people these days, including myself, but it is very worthwhile considering the empowerment that is inherently available to people if we do feel that any illness state is showing us something about how we have been living. If that is true, and I believe it is, then we can accept help while unwell from doctors to treat the condition, but post illness, we must address the lifestyle factors that caused our ill health in the first place. This is far more than just diet and exercise, its also about how we eat, how we deal with emotions, how we allow our relationships to be, how much pressure we put on ourselves, how much we bury what we really feel – all of this impacts the body and how free it is to restore its own order naturally.
A big ahha to our “particles in our body responded to what is going on in the universe and that they have a rhythm to adhere to.” So is it not time to question deeply why it is not normal to live adhering to universal rhythm? Let’s begin to explore that which Serge Benhayon has presented for years, that a mind without connection with the body, is simply a vessel for energy to pass through. That as ridiculous as it sounds, cares not for the body that it lives in, until such time we teach our mind to stop and feel the truth of our body and respond how it is asking for.
Leigh I agree with you, I was again reminded just today when a lovely young lady presented on the subject of Chemistry how the atoms in our body are mostly space and how they leave our body and come back, that’s really cool and what would be even more amazing is if we could use a radioactive isotope to see if they come back to our bodies or go off and reside in other bodies, and we get other peoples atoms coming back as well as our own. Then we would all have to appreciate that we are all the same and that nationalities do not exist we have made them up, just as we have made up borders which separate us from one another and false religions which do exactly the same thing. We would have to re think our connectivity.
I really appreciate the way what causes cancer has been broken down by Matts. If we just hold in our minds for a moment the delicate balance our body works with, can we begin to feel how we may not be suppprting such delicateness. Could our movements, the way we hold our bodies, how we eat and what we eat, how we communicate and be with others to name a small part of how we live our days, all be considered and honestly evaluated? Could we make ever so tender changes in in how we live that brings us back to living on the outside as that on the inside actually requires to maintain harmony? Can we again be delicate? Not weak, but strong, in our natural delicate nature?
“I find the body absolutely extraordinary in the way it functions.” this speaks volumes as it certainly is one of the most amazing things, to appreciate this one has to say things can’t be random, there has to be a purpose to everything and also perhaps we cruise on the fact that the amazingness lets us “get away” with being unloving.
It is amazing how our body is working and reflecting our beliefs and ideals, our thoughts and choices back to us. The main thing that I found which supports the body is concsious presence.
What I love about this cellular look at our bodies is the invitation to marvel at the mechanics of our bodies and therefore have a strong foundation of value from which to honour and take care of mine.
“But my inquisitive mind wants to ask: why do these cell mutations occur?” My mind always sought answers and understanding too. I was always looking for why things are the way they are. Cancerous cells don’t just decide to multiply out of the blue, yet the scientific literature you describe above makes it seem so, that its just a cruel inherently random act of nature which could strike anyone. It’s fascinating that we are not deeply exploring how we all live. I am so aware that this is so different, person to person, yet we don’t really focus our research questions around what type of living produces a body that stays in homeostasis and harmony.
It is interesting to consider the delicacy and tenderness of our bodies and how precise and harmonious all parts of it, up to the tiniest of them which are the cells, do work together. I remember that how we are from within is always reflected to us from the outside so could it be that how we perceive life from the outside can give us an understanding of how we are from the inside? I mean with that, that when we experience for instance disharmonious relationships with people does this tell us something of how our bodies are, that in a way there is disharmony in it too? When this is true we have always a big measure of how we are with our bodies and have a way to work on our health through working on our relationships.
I like this Nico. Highlighting the inextricable link between our external and internal worlds and how both are affected by one another. The thing is that it is only our internal world that we have the opportunity to manage and master – in that we can choose our response to all the external elements over which we have no control. This way I get to understand that my primary role is to develop responsibility for my relationship with myself and therefore how I relate to the world
As you say Matilda, we have only control over ourselves and how we are in life and in that the inner quality defines the outer quality, with other words the way we can handle situations outside of us.
Our bodies are amazing, it is awesome to understand and appreciate this. What you shared about cell mutation Matts, brings a deeper understanding for me about why we have illness and disease. My understanding is that this doesn’t happen randomly, it is our amazing body’s way of communicating to us that our body and the way we live is out of balance and in disharmony.
Matts, I also appreciate all that you appreciate, the body is absolutely extraordinary in the way it functions and how and what it is made up of. It totally blows me away how the body and all its functioning parts start from just a single cell and that we are made up from the same particles as everything else.
When I read this it makes me realise that the body is not here for us to just be in but to actually live in. There is a life that is possible to live through this body and therefore how we look after it determines how much purity of light I can bring through. Basically how much of my soul I can have passing through my physical body. Keep it damp and heavy and the soul cannot have access to it. I feel this is an ancient art that is not new at all. Before they talked about the Kingly Body which I take is the same thing as having a body ready to enhouse the light of our soul.
It is absolutely amazing how the body finds its way back to the light, loving, communicative, caring, divine vehicle it is. But how much it is able to finds its way back depends on the choices we make. Which we call lifestyle choices in our modern society. These choices are either supporting, caring and / or nurturing our body in its process or are actually against it.
“They are like our own little soldiers of health inside our body and they work around the clock to keep everything going.” I love this image Matts and really brings it home just how completely amazing our bodies are. Everything is indeed working away inside us to keep us as healthy as possible, regardless of what we throw at it.
Indeed Sandra, our bodies are amazingly intelligent and focused on harmony and homeostasis and whatever we do to it it will always present to us the repercussions of our behavior on it and its way of restoring the harmony it belongs and is connected to.
Awesome blog, reminding me that every choice we make affects everything, from a cellular level in our body right through to worldly and universal level.
So true Chan, the effect comes from our choice to be connected to our inner-most and to stay connected to the best of our ability without reacting to what is so obviously out of control around us.

Isn’t it fascinating how the cells of a fetus knows how to make the eyes, ears and mouth for example, and how they do this so perfectly, how they know how to switch on and off to make such a miracle as a baby. I find new born babies totally absorbing to look at, how perfectly they have been made, down to their tiny toes and their tiny nails. That’s when I get a glimpse of how incredible is the science of God and what an amazing scientist he truly is.
“I realise that the way life is outside of the cells is paramount to how life plays out inside of the cells.” this is the key part of genetics that we don’t yet embrace in full, because we don’t actually fully understand it. We know the impact in plays but can’t quantify it (yet). It will be a game changing moment when this scientific fact becomes part of our healthcare systems. Yet what I love about Serge and the wisdom he shares, is that we can all connect to the truth today and not wait for science to catch up.
Empirical based research serves its role. However, much like the economist who relies on making unrealistic assumptions about things he can’t control (such as assuming there is unlimited capital), so does science currently assume that there is no such thing as life force in its observations, for obviously out understanding of such a thing is embryonic. And do it is not so much a mistake that we ignore it in our calculations for the moment, but more so that we do not acknowledge that we ignore it. For if we did, it would at least restore some much needed humbleness to the whole process of scientific discovery that at the moment I would suggest is sorely missing in many ways.
A beautiful understanding shared of our body with the flow and harmony of our cells required to live who we are naturally. The love and care for our bodies and all the support needed in listening to its messages and the wisdom it shows us is beautiful and very humbling to read and appreciate thank you.
‘Under the microscope’, or attention to detail, helps me understand the interrelatedness of everything. The broad reach choices we make about how we eat, communicate, move, work etc., ripple both ways: into the physiology and health of our cells and out into the world.
Understanding why things do occur in our bodies is the perfect opportunity for us to explore and relate how the quality that we live in either supports our body or causes it imbalance and harm.
Learning to listen to my body and become aware of what it is communicating to me has been at times a slow process, as I get caught up in and involved in what I am doing or partaking in and lose sight of what it is I am feeling. I have patterns and habits that seem great, but realising that they are not is actually very empowering.
Our body and its particles are truly amazing. It reminds us when we are heading in the wrong direction and nudges us to take more care and love with ourselves. When we ignore it it gives us bigger warning signs and if we continue down that path, then a bigger illness or accident may stop us in our tracks. Will we listen then, or still try to find blame outside of ourselves? Our choice.
From the appreciations you offer Matts, I can feel there are a whole lot of aspects to appreciate when it comes to our well-being. There are the understandings of the knowledge, the wisdom of everyone including our own body’s innate intelligence, and our connectedness to the All of this which includes as you say our particles, which are also connected to the universe. So when one little thing goes a little towards disharmony in our body, isolating it, looking for a quick fix causes separation from the whole this insight is actually communicating. Therefore we are potentially compounding the cause and effect. We are so worth taking a pause moment to connect to what is truly happening, honouring ourselves and the whole we are part of.
Its amazing how our perception or experience of something, like work or being in a family can completely change by the way we hold our body.
How often do we see illness and disease as a bad thing like the body is against us in some way and stopping us from living how we would like to live? From reading and feeling this one can understand that the body is never ever against us, it is simply responding to what we have done to it and hence the disharmony and dis-ease we have been internally living with even if we are not aware of it all the time.
From this blog we can see and understand how it is possible to do our bodies much harm by the way we live. But if this is the case, it is also possible to live in a way that does not harm our bodies and instead supports them to be vital, healthy and glowing. We have much power in our choices.
Our bodies are amazing, just yesterday I was teaching kids about the brain and how our body works and the sheer wonder and amazement that is there to be appreciated is awe inspiring. It fascinates me how these subjects like biology are made so dull and dead considering the subject matter! It is a set up I believe to not appreciate how amazing we are just by breathing!
Brilliant. How can biology be dull when we are working with the marvel that our bodies are?
Learning about the human body and the energetic understanding of the body has brought profound changes in how I live my life. Thank you Matts, I agree that Universal Medicine is the leading organisation in understanding how the body works in its entirety and I am sure one day this will become the foundation that medicine is taught from again.
This is so true Shirley Ann, we don’t like the responsibility for our health that we have to face. I know this from a personal recent episode of low back pain and it brought me quite an ‘ouch’ moment that I had not been caring for myself so well recently. But it is great to learn this because it gives us the opportunity to change our future patterns with the strong messages from the body. It is the best messenger to listen to.
‘I have become more humble and am treating my body with the utmost care, since it cares for me every day’ – Amazing Matts and so true that we should develop a two-way loving relationship with ourselves rather than constantly fighting the reflections on offer and responding to this incredible offering of care with disregard.
I too am incredibly humbled by the body’s ability to do exactly what it needs for optimal harmonious function and the responsibility I have to honour a way of living that does not put my system under undue pressure. An example might be for me to address stress so it doesn’t not deplete my adrenal reserves to the point that when I actually have an immediate crisis I have nothing to respond with and I get sick. Listening to the body is the best medicine we can offer ourselves.
Matts I like how you are presenting that the body is 100% working for us, ordering, repairing, reminding us of the pure and simple potential on offer.
Everything is inextricably connected and at its core is energy – the energy we align to and therefore lives us.
It makes perfect sense that our body is the recipient of our every energetic impulse and will go on to show the result of our each and every energetic choice.
Fascinating read Matt, showing us that everything we do affects our cells so there is no escaping the responsibility we have on the micro level as well with others on the macro level.
The body is truly amazing and what is it going to take until we can fully understand this amazingness and stop filling it with the garbage both physically through food and energetically through emotions. Will we all have to get sick for this to happen?
I agree our bodies are amazing, they function and balances us out so much with out many of us giving them much attention, homeostasis is incredible in its detail and grace, and often it is taken for granted. Do we support this process or do we experience the impact of not doing so…many aliments and diseases we encounter as a population comes from not supporting our homeostasis rather than being suddenly inflected with a mystery illness.
The more i get to know my body, to move it in its natural (un-rushed, de-speeded) flow, the more (space) i get to know my true self and how i am as a Woman in life. The body is amazing as it brings us back to the very depth of us, where we realise that that depth is endless and awe-inspiring in its energetic entirety.
“From the teachings presented by Serge Benhayon I understand that the body is made up from particles that are also a part of a universe that has a very precise and delicate order. This means that the particles of our body respond to what is going on in the universe and that we have a rhythm to adhere to, as does everything else in the universe.” Wow what an amazing responsibility this shows we all have for ourselves and our livingness and health as ultimately we are all one and part of the all.
‘ I realise that the way life is outside of the cells is paramount to how life plays out inside of the cells.’ Thank you Matts, nothing is random, there is always cause and effect. This brings self-responsibility back into the way we live our lives.
It is humbling to consider how amazing the cells and particles of our body are and how they innately work towards harmony, which may at times mean throwing something up for us to see in the form of a lump or disease where the force we have been putting them under is being reflected back to us…
Yes our bodies are absolutely amazing – I was just thinking that yesterday in relation to skin when I was doing the washing up. A utensil was really greasy and hard get the oil off but I got the same oil on my hands and easily removed it. Got me considering the many miracles of our skin and how even when I cut it, it repairs itself. Imagine trying to design something like that.
“Just by becoming more aware of how the body actually works, I have become more humble and am treating my body with the utmost care, since it cares for me every day.” As we strengthen our relationship with our body our lives take on a quality and depth that we can then share with humanity for the better.
I was just discussing the other day how it is almost criminal how the body is taught in biology to be a boring, difficult, dry subject it so easily could be the most interesting and awe inspiring subject. If it was taught this way instead I am sure that many people would take better care of themselves purely from the fact they could have deep appreciation for the magic that lies within.
In fact living life and making choices has its effect on our bodies. It all comes down to the quality of life we choose to live, e.g. do I respect my body for its preciousness in all that I do, or do I tend to forget this and let the worldly events dictate my behaviors instead. Both ways of living have a different effect on my body. One day, sooner or later, my body will tell me that enough is enough and shows to me an ailment or disease as a result of where I am not living in adherence to the natural rhythm and with that lovingly showing me the results of my choices, always leaving it up to me to make another choice and never will be forceful.
I have recently just completed an anatomy and physiology course and am studying for the exam and I find it absolutely fascinating the body. Looking at the micro of this extraordinary body you can’t deny how incredible we are. So brought me to understand even more that how we are, the environment we put the body into determines the way each and every particle is going to respond. We have the power to offer it absolute grace or not.
I love the last sentence of your comment… what an incredible call to honour our bodies.
Cancer can come with a picture and may conjure up lots of our past thoughts and fears or worries and beliefs. When it is possible we can see it as a word, we can unpick that and feel it as the blessing of the healing that an illness can bring and view it completely differently.
When I am connected to the Universal Mind I have access to this same wisdom as our particles all come from the same source.
“In its healthy state, the body is at rest with itself, there is a harmony and rhythm in which the body and its cells cooperate and work in a homeostatic, self-sustaining way. However and contrary to that, in illness and disease you can feel how the body has become out of balance. Something has happened that makes the body act in a way as if it has to defend itself. The former harmony has changed into alert mode and there is a feeling of stress upon the body.” – A disharmony in our environment on any level is disruptive, be this the energetic aspects, the emotional or mental or finally physical aspects. It seems to me there is a trickle down effect and that the physical aspect is the final one where it shows up if we have not paid attention to the earlier levels being affected. And hence this explains too that to reverse it, it really is about working through all the other layers too, and not just removing the symptom picture from the physical.
When I read that ‘Our bodies are made up of more than a hundred million million (100,000,000,000,000) cells’ I could feel all the details and delicacy our bodies hold within and it feels like the more we hold them with respect and treat ourselves with dignity then the more our body will flow at one both within itself and with the Universe. The magic of God inspires wonderment and honouring and the more we feel this depth of regard and esteem that has created our world, the greater will be our ability to return order back to the way we live.
I dare say that emotions which are known to be disturbances in the body would contribute to the disharmony that causes the stress, that causes break down and mutation of the cells in the body. The cells have fine hair like tentacles that if are not damaged are used to communicate to each other. Without this communication I imagine they would mutate quite easily.
It was previously thought that cancer was predominantly caused by malfunctioning genes. However, much research has recently gone into the field known as mitiochondrial epigenetics, which studies how cells are adversley affected by their external environment, and the metabolism of the body. Most fascinating, and a step towards the “hypothesis” presented by Serge Benhayon that the cause of cancer is predominantly energetic in nature.
In other words, let us say you live in permanent drive to get things done, permanently activating your adrenal glands, which in turn affects the chemical composition of the blood, which in turn creates the quality of the environment that surrounds the cells. And prior to that we consider what is propelling the person to live in such a state of drive – be it a picture or ideal they subscribe to. And then we trace that back again – what feeds the thoughts or ideals that give one drive to push their body in such a way? Is it just nurture or nature, as they say? But to limit such an understanding of human nature to two such finite concepts is to ignore the fact of life force, the white elephant in the room when it comes to science, something that is impossible to understand merely by way of due scientific inquiry, and so it is conveniently ignored, for if one is to do so, one has to become immediately philosophical in their musings, and not merely scientific and rational.
And so, whilst we should of course deeply respect the scientist who uses reductionist processes to isolate the physical pathways that are part of the process of illness and disease, equally should we acknowledge the limitations of such methodology, and where the philosopher should be equally respected for pondering on the other side of the coin where science cannot yet go – by being willing to question what lies behind the veil that gives us what we call life, and to not ignore such musings. For there is no doubt that whatever gives us life force – and it has to be energy of some kind – affects everything that we are and do.
And just because we do not yet understand it by way of science does not mean that we should not hypothesise about it, or not live according to the tenets we have found to be true by way of personal experience and observation, just because science has yet to catch up to what is already being lived by some.
My body’s not only always with me, it is through its particles that I am connected to other people, to nature, to life and to Divine communication. Only when I make choices away from that I am given repercussions. Not as a punishment, but rather as a consequence of the choice or choices that I’ve made. Exactly the same as – for example – when I empty a full glass of water above my head, I become wet. And when I hold the glass steady above my head, I stay dry. Our body is amazing! It’s us that might choose to deny or ignore it, this doesn’t take away the fact that it is pure science on its own. Which means that we’re pure science. Every one another piece of science!
It is an interesting thing about cells and how they can behave and be influenced by their environment. and offers a reflection of how we too can influence ourselves and others by the environment we choose and the environment we create – and therein the responsibility we have in our choices.
It helps to understand that our bodies are part of the flow and order of the universe, and that because of this, there’s a wisdom within me that’s beyond the physical.
I love what you have said here Nicole – the particles of our body do indeed belong to the universe and it is like we are custodians of these particles. But how is it that we forget this and don’t actually give the body the care it deserves, and deeper yet, we are the custodians of this amazing body whose particles belong to the universe, this means we also have access (through the body) to an intelligence and wisdom well beyond this world – the question is do we access this and use it and live it in our every day? And if not, why not?
Indeed Nicole, as we begin to re-appreciate our bodies on this cellular level, our bodily awareness expands & once again we know the power of energy and light.
I love this… as a clear sense of our place in the universe and the inspiration to take loving responsible care of our bodies.
My body constantly amazes me with its sensitivity and honesty and understanding of my choices.
I agree – I have noticed that by me sitting in a certain way I can feel more myself than if I sit say slouching. It’s like a peek-a-boo with myself. If I slouch I feel disconnected and not fully “there”, if I sit up straight I feel with it again.
I used to see my body as a functioning vehicle to get things done, only giving it my true attention when I was sick or in pain. It is only through Universal Medicine that I have been able to understand how abusive I have been to my body, driving it to the point of hardness and numbness, not truly connecting to it or appreciating how much it supports me in life.This has changed over the years and I am finding the more I appreciate my body the more I appreciate myself (and vice versa) and this is having an effect on how I am with everyone.
What is also interesting is that the cancers appear in different parts of the body with different people. There are, I am sure, traits in common for all those who get breast cancer and all those who get prostate cancer, for example.
I’m sure there is and we have to not be shy about talking about these things. If not to help us understand why things occur in our bodies and not just talk about chance. Nothing happens by chance, at least not according to my understanding of how things actually work in our universe.
From my experience the marriage of Western Medicine and Universal Medicine is a beautiful union. It works so harmoniously when lived. Thanks for sharing this awareness Matts, it’s important that this is made available to all so others can choose for themselves the way to truly heal.
‘ From the teachings presented by Serge Benhayon I understand that the body is made up from particles that are also a part of a universe that has a very precise and delicate order. This means that the particles of our body respond to what is going on in the universe and that we have a rhythm to adhere to, as does everything else in the universe.’ Beautiful Matts, Universal harmony is in everything, within and without.
Matts I love this “I also appreciate myself for being so open and willing to understand life and make changes if there are changes to be made, which make my inner environment even more delicate and tender.” As it’s the one thing we don’t do enough, deeply appreciate the changes and choices we’ve made in our lives to be where we are, the care I take in how I dress, cook, clean, shower, work are all a few examples. Yet what is more than this is the care I take in my movements and the willingness I have to express truth.
our body is our friend and is an accomplice in expressing our truth.
Yes indeed, Matts. Our bodies do care for us very much by communicating clearly and sometimes very loudly when we make choices that harm us and create disharmony.
I often get the feeling that I have not fully grasped the absolutely wonderful vehicle our body is. Very few people honour the body in the way that it needs to be honoured.
We have so much to learn from our bodies starting especially to appreciate how they follow a natural order and each body system is interdependent relying on each other to remain in harmony.
So the fact that our body is functioning to a high degree is in itself something to deeply appreciate. Cells are constantly mutating and almost all our lives this is going very well. So aren’t we quite stubborn to not appreciate our body and (ab)use it for everything we decide to go through. Why not marry again our body and let the decisions come from the unity between the two?
A question worth repeating and pondering on: why not choosing a marriage between our body and mind and let all our decisions come from the unity between the two?
I have been watching a film about the universe and how Galaxies tend to cluster together into what the scientists have called a super cluster and our galaxy the Milky Way is part of one of these clusters. The scientist say that there is a cosmic web and have shown us a computer generated idea of what it would look like. And I was immediately taken back to the days when I studied Biology at school because it all looked so familiar to me, it was like looking into a plant cell or the structure of the human body. And the space in between the cosmic web scientist are saying is empty but I don’t feel it is, I feel the space is actually filled with an energy (connectivity) that keeps the cosmic web in place and gives it its structure, like the fluid in our bodies give us structure.
Our general tendency is to expect Western Medicine to fix our woes. Universal Medicine puts us back in charge of our health, empowers us to make every day our medicine. With this awareness we can utilise the wonders of Western Medicine while resuming true responsibility for our health and stop leaning on a profession that cannot undo and in deed should not be expected to undo, the consequences of our own irresponsible choices.
“So from this I realise that how I am with myself is important, because I know that the cells within me will respond accordingly. If I am harsh and not listening to the signals I get from my body, then the cells also have to work harder to keep everything going. And on the other hand, if I listen and go more gentle with myself, then the cells can bathe in a body that is warm and tender” – so simple, and so true Matts. I know the more easy I am with myself, loosening that grip or rather investment to life, to attachment, expectation, perfection, ideals, pictures, the more my body feels spacious, supple and moves with flow to include and touch people, in contrast to before where my body moved and felt somewhat robotic, stilted… and even though you could say I was an ‘open friendly person’ and by virtue of my profession [Sales/Recruiting], I kept comfortable distance between people. Opening up to the amazingness of my body has opened me up to people, and a more honest and truly friendly person as a result!
Our body is indeed totally amazing. It tells us exactly what we need to know when we need to know it. If we pay attention to the instant messages it gives us we have everything we need to live a healthy and vital life full of joy. Ignore it and life is one of pain and misery.
If life was reversed and every thing that is designed to take us away from our bodies was actually designed to re-connect us back with our bodies then we would be back to the Unity of God in a trice.
The body is one heck of a feat! The amount of tasks and processes that have to all be in sync just to function let alone perform under the immense pressure we put it under is astounding.
Yes, totally agree Michael, I don’t think we as a humanity have completely realised that our body is actually like having a formula one race car right under our very own nose and yet we treat it like a rusty old banger!
Seems crazy yes, however what better way to remain in our own creations than by cutting our awareness to the Grandness that exists in and around us.
So true Michael, the body is a totally awesome example of God’s engineering, performing all it does with such precision and multi-dimensional interactivity that is streets ahead of anything we could possibly invent. Learning to love, appreciate and cherish my body has made such an immense difference to my health and I had never realised just what a finely turned Rolls Royce of a body I was walking around in.
“our cells know exactly what to do and how to behave if there is harmony within”, how simple our body is if we allow it the grace and space. If we honour and look after our body then our cells will continue to do what it requires for us to have a harmonious flow.
It has been long established that outside influences cause damage to our bodies. They are even named after their cause, like Black Lung disease for coal miners. Why have we repeatedly shut the barn door after the horse has bolted when it comes to knowing what is bad for us and creating fixes for the end result rather than preventing the cause?
There is just so much about our bodies to appreciate, how all the systems work together 24/7 to keep us feeling as best balanced as possible is such a magnitude of care to accept in itself.
The wisdom of our bodies is aligned to a far greater plan than our mere minds could ever imagine and we would do well as a humanity to listen and to follow that wisdom.
Reading this again I am feeling the humbleness of the body and the wisdom it contains. It is so huge and all encompassing and it makes me realise the responsibility I have in really looking after ourselves and treating the body as the awesome vehicle that it is.
The very act of a cell dividing in the first place is a miracle. We take our bodies for granted, yet we are walking around in the most awe inspiring expression of life and the Universe, continually expanding and replenishing itself. Stunning!
Yes, indeed. The miracles constantly taking place within our bodies and the systems that intricately and harmoniously work 24/7, should be appreciated and taught to even young children so they grow up honouring their bodies from day one.
I love this blog, even just the title brings your attention to the fact of how important it is to appreciate our body, something that tends to be a few steps behind the head when there are many distractions and thoughts going on.
When I read in your blog that “Cancer starts with changes in one cell or a small group of cells”, I am reminded that The Ageless Wisdom teaches that everything matters, down to the tiniest detail. So when we learn that cancer can start with one of the hundred million million cells in the body, it makes me look at presence and responsibility ever more closely and respectfully.
Humbleness is what I feel when I understand the magnitude of the amazing intelligence of by body and it’s connection to the universe through particles. For me humbleness is a personal invitation to honour the divine design of who I am and live this in full.
What a gorgeous understanding to have – “I understand that the body is made up from particles that are also a part of a universe that has a very precise and delicate order. This means that the particles of our body respond to what is going on in the universe and that we have a rhythm to adhere to, as does everything else in the universe.”
‘Universal Medicine is the leading organisation in understanding how the body works in its entirety and also why the body does what it does in terms of breaking down when it develops different forms of illnesses and diseases’ Why then is this not a globally accepted source of information, when it holds the key to the good health of all mankind? Is it because there is a resistance to knowing that we ourselves are responsible for the state of our health? Perhaps that combined with mega pharmaceutical interest in the highly profitable health industry.
“Just by becoming more aware of how the body actually works, I have become more humble and am treating my body with the utmost care, since it cares for me every day.” This is really beautiful Matts, and very inspiring. Imagine if we taught this to our children, they would grow up with such a deep understanding of their bodies that it could potentially prevent all sorts of illness and disease in later life.
This is gold
“This means that the cells know exactly what to do and how to behave if there is harmony within and around them, but if there is stress and disharmony they might work for a certain amount of time, but eventually the force that is working against the body makes the cells eventually go out of rhythm and form what we then call, in this case, cancer.”
This makes so much sense to me, how irresponsible we are as a race to think that illness is just a random event that has nothing to do with how we behave. I love how you shed so much light on a subject but with zero judgement, you are proof that intelligence does not come from paying for a degree but from a connection to a source that is equally there for all to access.
I noticed becoming more still and humble when I read “Just by becoming more aware of how the body actually works, I have become more humble and am treating my body with the utmost care, since it cares for me every day.”.
Only one sentence in a whole blog, but the importance of what is shared here is something that I can surrender to more deeply. Why am I not taking care of my own body with the utmost care. I do care for my body, I actually care more for my body than I’ve ever done. Yet, I can feel that it is measured. As if I still want to ‘rule’ over my body. Rather than surrendering to my body and let ‘it’ lead the way. This is quite a stubborn pattern. I am wondering why I choose so. Because I’ve learnt that being negative or judging myself for something doesn’t support me at all. There’s a lot that I feel. Vulnerability, fragility, sadness, loneliness, power, responsibility, feeling victim. There’s much more to feel into, but first and foremost I am to claim that I am worth the utmost care for myself.
Beautiful Doug. To me this means that we’re offered constant growth. Just like everything else in life / nature, we grow naturally. Only by disconnecting from our body we can seemingly resist it / control it. Yet, we’re told that we’re to control life. Yet, we’re not, we’re to flow within life. And allow ourselves the space to feel more and more the beautiful being we are. Our body is science and is connected to the love that we are and of the universe constantly.
But are the cells actually going out of rhythm, or are they in s rhythm that supports us – by bringing us to a stop point through illness and disease.
Every second of every day our bodies are communicating to us where we are, whether we actually want to listen to this and honour what it is saying is the next choice to self love or not.
Now as saddening and devastating as it is, and I am absolutely against it – it also shows the incredible intelligence that we all come from – and that is some elephants are now being born without tusks, some say as a way to deter the unnecessary and brutal slaughter of them for their ivory. Very horrible, but incredible intelligence.
Our body is amazing, it is science, religion, truth, joy and harmony all in one!
Your discretion of how cancer needs to start by needing certain changes to take place… is that not the same as choices we make that result in changes to the way we live and effect all of our cells at the same time?
Thank you Matts for reinforcing the true amazingness of our wonderful bodies!
It is amazing how my body responds when I confirm the love that I am. I’m not used to do so, so everytime I do so, I am amazed of the yumminess that runs through my body at these moments. It is absolutely amazing how our body actually responds to the choices we make. Unfortunately are we so used to destructive choices that we don’t even know / feel the difference between the true us and the so called ‘false’ us. No wonder that our body creates illnesses and diseases as this is the (only) way our body can get rid of all the choices that do not come from the ‘true’ us. Thank you Matts.
This is so very inspiring…”… I understand that the body is made up from particles that are also a part of a universe that has a very precise and delicate order. This means that the particles of our body respond to what is going on in the universe and that we have a rhythm to adhere to, as does everything else in the universe.” By bringing this vast picture, the individuality becomes null and void… we each have a responsibility in the bigger picture as we are a part of a grand plan that involves and evolves everyone, every being, of the universe.
Whereas we may waiver, wander astray, our bodies remain the marker of the perfect limitation we are endowed with by the virtue of being divine. When we are wayward, excessive, and downright harmful, our bodies suffer and we feel the consequences. Conversely, when we cherish ourselves, deeply nurture, our bodies ignite and revitalise with the fire we are made of. Illness and disease is a communication and reflection of the choices we make – to treat our bodies as fodder and mere function instead of for the magnificent physical vessel that enhouses the Son of God so that they can express on an earthly plane.
Ahh I especially liked the feeling of our cells bathing in our tenderness and harmony, no place for inflammation or need for cells multiplying when our natural order and balance is there.
This blog really highlights the importance of a genuine and consistent connection with our own bodies, to not take things for granted and to not dismiss the never ending and often warning signals from our bodies.
Super awesome you share this Matts. I used to think that the way I think, act and be with myself is just a part of my life that has no real relation to my overall physical well being because my physical well being is impacted by what I do physically not emotionally. This is not the case at all, and in fact in many cases our emotional state of being has more impact on our bodies over time than our physical state of being. I know this because I have seen in myself and others, the development of colds, runny noses, warts, pimples and many others to name a few and while these may seem simply things that just happen, when truthfully observed, I have seen a pattern in my life at play that has been there for way longer than the physical symptom itself and feels like while I let it play out, the physical condition has been manifesting there, gradually worsening as I continue to live the way I choose to do.
We can say we are just one person but that one person is made up of over 100,000,000,000,000 cells, and I don’t know how many particles. This doesn’t mean I will start addressing and referring to myself as ‘we’ but when I say ‘I’ or ‘me’ it’s never just 1 single unit but millions of cells working together and then there’s the being part of us that is not human and can go against everything that all our cells are saying No to, like behaviours that damage our genes. How can there be such a thing as individuality when we are made up of so many parts? and that’s not even accounting for the behaviours and ways of life we adopt from other people.
I love this exploration and appreciation of our bodies on a cellular level. Walking in respect of this makes a huge difference in the way I treat my body and others I meet.
This really Does allow Me to appreciate the body in a whole new way. It is so incredible – working for us all the time and yet we take so much for granted. That our cells are our little soldiers making sure everything is running as it should be – is so incredible in itself and makes me ask myself
If I am truly supporting my cells based on how I am living and my choices. Am I eating sleeping moving in ways that are loving?
If the particles that make up our bodies are the same as the particles that make up the Universe, you could say that they are naturally divine and of something very great. Our only job is then to choose what quality these particles are contained in and whether we are choosing to live in accordance to that greatness or against it.
The body never ceases to amaze me, it is a wonder that has been created to give us messages on a subtle, and sometimes not so subtle level, and it does a great job. It has this incredible innate wisdom I ignored for many years but now really appreciate how hard it works in my favour to give me messages when I get off track. And we can all learn from those messages.
We put up with a lot of aches and pains in our bodies but every small thing is a signal that something is wrong. It could be what we ate, how we walked, stood, spoke, breathed, listened – every aspect of how we live affects our body and it is communicating with us all the time, it is simply our choice whether we listen or not.
If our body works so delicate to do whatever needs to be done in order to be harmonious and vital, how can it be that we actually choose to abuse our body and dismiss its communication? Why do we allow ourselves to make choices such a going to bed late, screaming, drinking coffee, alcohol, using drugs or sugar etc? It’s our own choice? How much do we care about ourselves as well as others? If our body is working magnificently, offering a humble reflection how working in harmony could look like, why don’t we just do whatever is needed to support this harmony?
“If I am harsh and not listening to the signals I get from my body, then the cells also have to work harder to keep everything going. And on the other hand, if I listen and go more gentle with myself, then the cells can bathe in a body that is warm and tender and that feels much more yummy.” Awesome reminder Matts and really it is that simple – we listen to the body we reap rewards, we ignore it and we sow our own demise.
Beautifully said Matts… “…you can almost feel that in its healthy state, the body is at rest with itself, there is a harmony and rhythm in which the body and its cells cooperate and work in a homeostatic, self-sustaining way.” When we are truly connected to our entire body, there is a natural rhythm and flow that is harmonious within our body and with the external world as well.
I am constantly amazed at what medical science is discovering about our bodies. Marry this amazing ability to observe to the most intricate detail what is happening within a cell with the energetic awareness taught by Universal Medicine and we have the most amazing formula for true healing.
I find it very interesting the link between cancer establishing itself in the body and our cells environment, it indicates that self-care and maintaining a flourishing homeostasis is essential for a vital, and healthy life.
‘Just by becoming more aware of how the body actually works, I have become more humble and am treating my body with the utmost care, since it cares for me every day.’ – this is spot on Matts and what I have learnt too through attending Universal Medicine that through self-love and self-care we get to have a relationship with our bodies that are respectful and loving.
The empowerment offered by knowing that the way we choose to live is an essential part of our overall wellbeing cannot be underestimated.
Matts what I love about our body is that when we surrender to it all those cells, all the parts and particles in our body feel like they align together and work as one. Its a great example of what is possible when everything works together as the body is amazing. When you add in illness and disease, cancer and how that comes about we see the body simply works to clear the ill ways we live even though at the same time it provides our connection to the Universe and when we listen to it we are provided the wisdom of the universe.
We have many experts and specialists in medicine offering excellent service when we are sick and need support. Yet by far the most profound insights and understanding about what is facing us is always reached when we are also willing to listen to and learn from the responses of our own bodies.
Matts, I enjoy the simple wonderment you express in this blog and how, with this deep appreciation of the amazingness of the body, you are now living in a way that honours your body. It is inspiring -thank you for sharing this with us.
Our bodies are constantly communicating – to ourselves and to all.
Thanks Matts. I enjoyed reading how much appreciation you have for yourself in being open and willing to learn more about your body, and deepen in your care and honouring of every cell.
Yes I love the magic of the body, simple and yet so intricate, cells of many, working in harmony, it is a wonderful example of co-existence and it is great to ponder what it is that unbalances this harmony…it is evidence that environmental factors are hugely significant to the health of our cells.
I agree Matts our bodies are amazing and they are naturally very harmonious and balanced when left to be in their natural state. I feel knowing this, is a great step forward in our understanding of illness and disease and healing.
Rather than treat our bodies as the absolute amazingness that they are, most of us have reduced our bodies to absolute rubble.
This is a great blog and it goes to show that our environment that we are choosing to live in has an enormous affect on how the body is going to respond. For example we live in a stressful and demanding life and every movement and thought comes from this place then you body is left in a state of abuse because it is working in the opposite way it is designed to be. A harmonious state of being comes down to every choice we make.
Our bodies are truly amazing. With what we put into them and how we treat them every day, expecting them to support us regardless and yet for the most part they do an amazing clean up job. The fact we all have cancer cells in our body yet without our doing anything our body deals with them, on the whole. Lifestyle medicine is gradually becoming acknowledged in the wider world. When our body says enough and brings forth illness or disease if we look deeper into its causation and seek healing we also have to play our part and make lifestyle changes. If we don’t it’s hardly surprising that secondary issues can arise.
Our bodies are incredible Matts. I’m always blown always by the complete order our bodies have, down to every cell. It is continuously moving and changing to support us in all we do.
It is great what you share, how cancer begins in 1 cell in our body which is unbalanced or unhealthy, it is only that one cell out of the million that then spreads causing a tumour. So in truth if we isolate that one cell and understand how to stop it from spreading by different life choices, then we have the power within ourselves to ensure that the damaged cell does not become the cancerous tumour.
‘I realise that the way life is outside of the cells is paramount to how life plays out inside of the cells.’ – This statement is super important and should be at the top list of any family, educational institution or work place – our bodies becomes the choices we make and the way we live.
Understanding how a disease like cancer forms is crucial as the rates of cancer are on the increase. If we can understand this then finding a cure isn’t necessary because we can look to the causes and work on preventative health rather than treating disease.
Through Serge Benhayon I learned of multi-dimensional human beings, never to play small but live connected to the vast, precise, universal and divine order we’re intricately part of.
‘I understand that the body is made up from particles that are also a part of a universe that has a very precise and delicate order. This means that the particles of our body respond to what is going on in the universe and that we have a rhythm to adhere to, as does everything else in the universe. We are much grander than we think we are and our bodies precious vessels worthy of true self care and love.
A brilliant point of inspiration to willingly embrace responsibility – attending to and caring for our bodies as integral pieces of a huge jigsaw.
The people of the Earth have become one enormous collective cancerous growth in the body of the Universe.
Beautiful blog that I can attest to with my own experience of my body. I’m uncovering layers and layers of degrees to which I am harsh with myself from realising how I’ve looked to others for approval to feeling a sense of I wasn’t enough beneath that and so on. The drive to be liked and approved of has taken a toil on my body. I’ve uncovered a constant critique of myself and it’s like the cells of my body have been attacking me so I can feel my face is inflamed. Rather than panic I’m being firm and saying no more negative self-critique, no more attacking myself. I refuse to go to war on myself any longer and though it’s early days the protection and defense is reducing and I know my body will respond with love if I allow it.
Our bodies are truly amazing and we need to truly appreciate what it requires to continue in good health and wellbeing.
In essence, we are all amazing and to not live and accept this is an attack on our bodies that can eventually result in illnesses such as cancer, accepting who we are and living in full appreciation is the way forth in enjoying harmony and vitality within.
I love the way Matts explains to us in such a simple, understandable way how cancerous cells are able to ‘overrule’ our otherwise harmonious state of being. If this is for cancer, I’d love to know how this works for all other illnesses and diseases. How’s our lifestyle actually contributing to either a more harmonious way of living or creating a form of disharmony in the body. Our cells certainly carry a wisdom that I’ve forgotten to pay a lot of attention to. My body’s not just flesh and bones, but actually a living science factory. How different is this from everything that has been told to me during biology classes or in any book. Feeling life, feeling our body is a great way to discover what lives inside of us.
If we choose to allow outside influences to affect us and make us stressed we either hold our breath or breathe in a rhythm that is not our own, then there is lack of harmony, and a dis-ease in all the cells in our bodies. The outside influences are our own thoughts too, that take us away from the body and into our minds so that we are not connected with ourselves, .so could it be that the Gentle Breath Meditation as taught by Serge Benhayon can start to build a rhythm and bring harmony to our stressed cells again, as it is the bridge to our connection with the Soul.
‘There are extraordinary experts in knowing how to deal with something once it has occurred’ Many organisations and scientists are looking at ‘cures’ when there are many aspects of prevention that can be explored, such as lifestyle, which doctors are slowly beginning to come round to, but the emphasis in pharmaceuticals is this greater because there is profit in it.
As I read Matts’ description of how cells work communicate and sometimes go berserk I keep picturing humans in place of cells and I see that when our environment is harmonious and respectful of our needs all is well but when our environment gets too harsh or toxic for us for too long… individuals begin to “lose it’.
If some people in society are “losing it” and exhibiting harmful behaviors it is a symptom that something in society is not working harmoniously for all of us… and if cells in our body are “losing it” and bringing about disease than this surely is a SYMPTOM that something in how we run our body is not working harmoniously for all of of the systems, organs and cells within us.
It seems common sense to me that our cells require a harmonious environment in order to sustain their natural qualities just like babies, children and people of all ages also require a harmonious environment to sustain optimal health & well-being.
I love this, it makes me appreciate my body even more!
So we’re to live in a way that is loving towards our body because only when the ‘harmony’ is disturbed, we’re actually creating cancerous cells. So the fact that we have cancerous cells blossoming inside of us means that our body is communicating to us that we’re living in a way that in one or more ways isn’t loving. Thank you Matts for writing from such a curiosity, love, interest and humbleness. It is much appreciated.
I woke up thinking about your blog, what happens to our cells and the intricate details of our bodies when we do something as simple as overeat? What happens to the cells in our heart when we shut our heart down? You said, “Some genes get damaged every day,” I am wondering how many genes a day do we damage, gosh every moment seems so precious when you look at it this way.
Thanks Matts you really bring home the amazingness of our body and even understanding this just a little shows us that we are responsible in every way of how we treat this amazing piece of engineering.
“….how I am with myself is important, because I know that the cells within me will respond accordingly.” So true – it can be the smallest change that can make all the difference to how our bodies respond and consequently to how we feel. Every moment and every movement matters.
I am constantly amazed by the body’s innate ability to repair itself especially in the power of nominating what we have taken on that works counter to its natural harmony and letting it go. In my experience this healing can be almost instant!
Beautiful Matts, ‘ the particles of our body respond to what is going on in the universe and that we have a rhythm to adhere to, as does everything else in the universe.’ I can feel how true this is and that the way I am being either feels harmonious and in rhythm or it feels jarring and out of natural rhythm, it is great to be reminded Matts how important it is for us to live in rhythm and how it affects detrimentally our health when we do not.
Matts such a great blog and I too am deeply thankful to have the understanding I do now from being inspired by Serge Benhayon and the teachings of Universal Medicine. This line was one that jumped out for me -‘the particles of our body respond to what is going on in the universe and that we have a rhythm to adhere to, as does everything else in the universe.’ – I feel I am only started to accept this and be open to these rhythms and adjust a way of living that has not considered and worked against this.
I love this article and its attention to detail.
‘This means that the cells know exactly what to do and how to behave if there is harmony within and around them, but if there is stress and disharmony they might work for a certain amount of time, but eventually the force that is working against the body makes the cells eventually go out of rhythm and form what we then call, in this case, cancer.’ It is so amazing that, when we are in absolute harmony, our cells know what to do and therefore our body is in complete harmony and rhythm. It is our responsibility to work towards that harmony in ourselves, eliminating all stress, which means no emotional reactions to anything and not to overdo anything physical.
‘All cancers begin in cells. Our bodies are made up of more than a hundred million million (100,000,000,000,000) cells. Cancer starts with changes in one cell or a small group of cells.’ Although this explains the ‘practical’ reason of just how cancer starts I feel it does not explain the energetic reason as something has to be disharmonious in our lives be it the relationship we have with ourselves and how we are caring for ourselves (or not!) for this to happen in the first place. So, as you have said, it is really important to realise how we are with ourselves continually on a daily basis affects our health ‘So from this I realise that how I am with myself is important, because I know that the cells within me will respond accordingly.’ This also shows how many chances we are given to take care of ourself on a deeper level in order to get back to absolute homeostasis within the body ‘There have to be about half a dozen different mutations before a normal cell turns into a cancer cell.” And I 150% (and more) concur with what you have expressed here ‘Universal Medicine is the leading organisation in understanding how the body works in its entirety and also why the body does what it does in terms of breaking down when it develops different forms of illnesses and diseases.’ It would be great to have some true studies of how the relationship and care we have for ourselves affects literally affects our health and well-being.
I have gone against the natural flow of my body for most of my life, by choosing stress, anxiousness and drive. What an amazing healing process it has been (and continues to be), thanks to Universal Medicine, to re-learn what it truly means to ‘go with the flow’ and give my body a chance to recover and restore its natural way of being.
Despite so much research, there is much more to learn about the body. We can understand more when we connect to our bodies through the particles in the cells knowing that this affects the order and growth of the cells. And the understanding this is a part of the bigger picture of the divine order of the Universe all linking together makes complete sense.
It is so humbling to consider that the particles in our body are a part of our ever expanding universe. How could we possibly feel we are separate or alone when we recognise the perpetual cycles and flow we belong to?
The cell has a microscopic wall that contains it. If you scale up the body and all the cells together, is there not the same tiny wall between us and everyone in the world! When we feel a magnetic pull or a repulsion, is that not the same affects cells have with their surroundings. We just need to listen
Perhaps our biggest flaw is when we disconnect from the wonder of the body, and see it instead as functional, like when we get frustrated if our body breaks down, as I used to when playing sport. Rather than seeing it as a signal to take it more gentle in my movements. There is a belief that extreme activities require us to ignore or override the body, but perhaps this is the least intelligent thing we can do, and something that will always throw our body out of wellbeing, no matter how fit we believe we have become.
It is remarkable to consider how: “the body is made up from particles that are also a part of a universe that has a very precise and delicate order. This means that the particles of our body respond to what is going on in the universe and that we have a rhythm to adhere to, as does everything else in the universe”. I love how this brings our attention from just the self centred view of ‘me’ and ‘ mine’ to the bigger picture of ‘the whole Universe’ and ‘All of us’.
Universal Medicine Therapies has always worked complementary to conventional medicine, knowing that to truly cover the complete area of health and wellbeing, the two can greatly benefit from each other.
Understanding this offers a grander view about life “…the body is made up from particles that are also a part of a universe that has a very precise and delicate order. This means that the particles of our body respond to what is going on in the universe and that we have a rhythm to adhere to, as does everything else in the universe…”
Beautiful quote to highlight Johannebrown17. Our bodies are immutably connected to a grandeur we remain wilfully ignorant of. When science and medical science start to regard us as being made up of particles that belong to a huge universal soup, we may begin to unlock some of these currently unfathomable questions as to why we get sick.
To study the wonders of our bodies with humbleness is something we could all hugely benefit from.
The intelligence within the body and it’s workings seems infinite reading this.. and we walk in this amazing vessel every single day.
n have always found it astounding how much the body can withstand when it comes to what we put it through. It was only once I understood our multi-dimensional nature that I began to make sense of how and why it can ‘handle’ so much. Self-care and treating it (and therefore ourselves) with utmost love is imperative if we are to realise the potential of what the body can support. There is so much more to us than flesh and blood.
Well said, Jenny. There is a different way of being that honours the wisdom inherent within, and restores a natural harmony in our bodies.
Yes absolutely Janet, it is quite a revelation actually to know that wisdom comes from the body, and not from the mind. In that sense what we eat, drink and how we choose to take care of ourselves in every sense therefore has an impact on the depth of wisdom we will have access to. The fact and significance of this has been very lost on us as a human race.
“And on the other hand, if I listen and go more gentle with myself, then the cells can bathe in a body that is warm and tender and that feels much more yummy.”
This sentence is to me the everything in body care. I lived with great care of the foods I ate, being sure they would support my body. Which is also very necessary, however my body did not respond to supportive food choices alone, it has only been since a tender care and understanding for myself has been practiced that my body is responding, basking in and appreciating the beauty that has always lain within, a beauty I am now sharing widely with others.
It makes sense that the way life is outside the cell affects life inside the cell, and so the cells ‘ know exactly what to do and how to behave if there is harmony within and around them, but if there is stress and disharmony they might work for a certain amount of time, but eventually the force that is working against the body makes the cells eventually go out of rhythm and form what we then call, in this case, cancer,’ confirming the damaging effects of stress, and how important harmony is for our health.
A very lovely and simple look at ourselves at the microscopic level. So easy to charge forth into life with no connection or understanding about ourselves to this degree, If we did this more we might as you say take more tender care of our bodies knowing that delicacy requires and begets delicacy. Far from being a ‘woosy’ or soft thing to do it is probably the most essential thing we could be doing to remain healthy and to actually recognise something is going wrong before it goes very very wrong.
I too have always been fascinated by the body – its intricate workings and generally its ability to keep harmony no matter what we throw at it. I have also come to learn that I can treat my body in two ways – either to support this harmony and the body’s natural pull to be in balance and healthy, or I can actively work against it and be shown loud and clear by my body that it is having to work harder to come back to balance.
When we start to consider illness and disease as a way for the body to clear a person from a harm it has accumulated due to one´s harmful behaviour and past choices the way we will explore and understand the causes of any condition will be much more holistic.
Doing a training in the moment concerning anatomy and physiology, it amazes me how the different parts and organs of the body have a delicate harmony in where they can work in their best way. Is this harmony not reflected by the way we are living sooner or later there will be disturbances in our lives concerning our wellbeing and health.
Reading your words Matts I am touched by how we focus on the events and circumstances that occur to us in life and say ‘that was a bad day today’, when in actual fact it’s the state of being we choose to be in that does all the damage or harmony.
Cancer charities or research groups talk about ‘fighting cancer’. Why would you fight a message of truth from your body?
When I read this I imagine each and every single little cell and am very sure that not one single one of them actually wants to mutate and become cancerous. This may sound silly to ‘personalise’ each cell…but what I mean is that it is absolutely not their natural path, thus what is happening that forces them to ‘commit suicide’ ?! And that is where I begin to understand how my life choices affect my body and its in-built design and desire to flow in its true harmony. I am responsible for parenting and supporting each one of God’s particles that make up my body.
The body is fascinating and incredibly remarkable in how it naturally functions and operates but at the end of the day the person driving the body can influence and impose the cells to work out of their natural design. So the environment is a huge important part to the whole and how your body is going to respond. So the questions is what are we choosing to create dis-harmony in our bodies?
I’ve never considered my cells before and how they respond to my choices and the world around me on a daily basis – how enlightening. It makes perfect sense that they can only mutate so many times before the damage is irreversible – it really makes you sit up straight and ponder our responsibility towards these amazing bodies we have.
“Something has happened that makes the body act in a way as if it has to defend itself.” And then the big question is what and we can invent so many answers, but the more we look internally at our own attitudes towards our selves and our bodies, we may see that the first thing our body feels it has to defend itself against is us. It might sound a bit alarming, but so much can change when we begin to love our selves and our bodies instead of ignoring, berating or abusing our selves.
I love the sense of your ‘inner environment’ being ‘even more delicate and tender’. What a beautiful way to consider life, our bodies and our movements.
Science is making great strides in what it can observe, but the most accurate instrument we have is the human body – and no mechanical or electronic instruments can match what we are capable of feeling and knowing through our body.
How can we blame our bodies for getting sick, illness and disease, when a) our cells = ourselves! and b) our body so sensitively responds to the way in which WE choose to live…. There is no ‘Player 2’ trying to trick us out in the game we like to play with our body; how much can I get away with before I trip up, only the constant pull to take responsibility and look after ourselves greater which we can choose to obey or ignore.
A great reminder of the importance of self care and true nurturing for our amazing body to support true well-being and healing.
I am constantly amazed by the workings of the body – most of us generally do what we want, eat what we want and basically do not look after our bodies yet the body keeps going, working as best as possible to sustain us, eventually yes it does break down as it can only take so much. What is great here is how the body whilst working to keep us going also constantly gives us signs that we are not living in harmony – the question is whether or not we choose to listen! Like bloating after eating too much or something that does not agree with us, diarrhoea when say you eat gluten, mucous when say you eat dairy, raciness when you eat sugar, stubbing your toe when you are not paying attention etc. etc. It can only do so much; the rest is up to us.
Isn’t our body Wise? How amazing would it be if we would live in a world where our bodies actually lead the way? That we’re living life from the inside out. And that we would support each other in living from our body? What if… What if this would be THE answer to all our woes, questions and illnesses and diseases? What if?
Great points, Floris… living from the inside out and continuously deepening our connection to the all-encompassing knowing that resides within each and every one of us, is surely the way to go.
The below sentence shows the extraordinary intelligence that is operating in the body and gives us a huge clue as to why we get ill – “This means that the cells know exactly what to do and how to behave if there is harmony within and around them, but if there is stress and disharmony they might work for a certain amount of time, but eventually the force that is working against the body makes the cells eventually go out of rhythm and form what we then call, in this case, cancer.” When we become ill it is a stop moment where we are being asked very lovingly by the body to look at how we are living and to change it.
Absolutely. It’s strange isn’t it – what we are prepared to do for others in their time of need, or for our ailing relatives or friends…and yet when our own bodies ask for us to step up or change the way we are living, we so often ride rough-shod over the super loud and clear alarm bells. Could it be that by helping others it makes us feel good about ourselves, but if were to listen to our own bodies we’d actually have to take responsibility for some of the choices that we have made.
The body is always trying to restore itself back to its natural universal harmony. It registers everything and is wondrous and amazing how it works in this way. When we have ventured off track, the body offers a correction to release anything that is not of that universal order. Our body is the grandest teacher, we just need to listen and adhere to its wisdom.
The physiology of the body reflects the order and harmony at work provided by the energetic and universal principles that govern all things. Nevertheless we are free to make choices that are in opposite to such order and harmony, but even that is part of the supreme principles we are held by and so are the consequences as a means for us to learn coming back recognising, choosing and be obedient to who we are as part of the greater whole.
“Universal Medicine is the leading organisation in understanding how the body works in its entirety and also why the body does what it does in terms of breaking down when it develops different forms of illnesses and diseases.” Having been a complementary therapist for many years prior to encountering Universal Medicine I had never encountered anything with the fullness and depth of understanding that Universal Medicine does and can truly say that this statement is absolutely true.
“There are extraordinary experts in knowing how to deal with something once it has occurred, but the bigger struggle is still trying to understand why things occur.” I am constantly amazed at what western medicine and science is discovering about out bodies, yet we still struggle to understand why we get sick. Enter Universal Medicine and the clear awareness of and profound teachings on the energetic cause of disease. When we marry these two approaches, the power of true healing is restored to us once more.
The body is truly an amazing piece of work and in fact so is all of nature and absolutely everything, I can’t help knowing God when I think and feel it. This all definitely didn’t just happen by chance.
This comment got me to stop and just open and close my fists and watch and feel and ponder the incredibleness within just that one movement. A brilliant way to connect to God. Thanks.
It is amazing how, when we get emotional about something, a situation, a person, something someone did or said or didn’t do, how our minds can play such tricks on us with our thoughts that go round and round and convince us we are hurt, and how that creates huge amounts of tension in our bodies. If we do that every day, getting upset about life, then all we are doing is making ourselves ill.
A great article Matts, when I read about our bodies at a cellular level I am always reminded of their immense delicateness and sensitivity, everything works in order and harmony, and this also makes me consider if we live in ways which over-ride this.
Have we become our own beasts of our own burdens? Everything has a tipping point from elephants to our cells. I viewed a clip of a working elephant that had enough, and went on a rampage, why should our cells at some point not do the same?
Yes there is great intelligence shown by our body. Interesting that we can make a so-called scientific claim that “mutation can happen by chance” simply because as yet we have not found a pattern. But nothing in the universe happens by chance. We are part of a very precise order which is forever reflecting a greater levels of connection, interactivity and responsibility.
If human biology and physiology was taught in full consideration of the energetic functions of the body then we would learn how to access an intelligence far beyond that we consider our own.
We bludgeon our bodies in the same way that seal cubs are bludgeoned for their fur. Millions of us voluntarily bludgeon ourselves to death.
Reading this I can feel how much love there is in the design of the body. We can do almost anything to the body and it will do it’s best to return us to a state of harmony. Without judgement it is always working in our best interest and for harmony. We may view cancer and other illness and disease as a bad thing but what if it is the body’s way of healing? The body is tuned to a divine wisdom that very few of us choose to access all or any of the time.
It seems to make sense to me that if I am out of control – i.e. acting in a way that is not respectful to the natural flow of life then I mustn’t be surprised if my genes also begin to be out of control in the way that they organise themselves. It feels like we often blame something exterior to us for what is taking place in our body when we have pain or discomfort, when the truth is that we are avoiding living in a way that is responsible and respectful to our own body and to the greater body that we know as our Universe.
Our environment, both internally and externally makes a big difference to our health.
“I realise that the way life is outside of the cells is paramount to how life plays out inside of the cells.” This makes so much sense…what we choose on the outside will affect what is on the inside.
Rachel exactly, when we accept this most basic but incredibly important fact, it will change our lives and with that change the way humanity approaches our health.
Your sharing is beautifully presented Matts. I love the gentle way you share our need to treat our bodies with tenderness and love.
Wow, great to read how responsive our cells are to our choices.
“I feel quite humble, as you get to know that the cells obviously know exactly what to do to give us optimal health.” Every cell in our body hums with activity and purpose, mini universes achieving the most incredible tasks. Our liver cells for example, are so multi-functional that medical science is unable to identify every thing they do, but the last estimate I read was that they have over 250 different functions! What awesome things our bodies are, I am so appreciative of meeting Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, because thanks to Serge’s deeply wise presentations and embodied example, I am at long last appreciating mine and attempting to live in harmony with the vibrancy and purpose so innate in every cell in my body.
This is a very self loving approach Matts, where there is everything to gain and nothing to lose “I also appreciate myself for being so open and willing to understand life and make changes if there are changes to be made, which make my inner environment even more delicate and tender.”
The more tender and delicate we are on the outside, the more in harmony we are on the inside
Matts indeed our body is amazing , and it’s only when i really truly started a loving relationship with my body that i got to know [and continue this today] who i was in the world, and what things prevented the ease of the real-me from being/living. When you feel it in the body, either the tightness, restriction, or the ease and suppleness of expanse, you realise the wonder of our body’s communication, and it being entirely everything to look after and treasure for the truth it holds, and also reflects.
Matts, as I read through your description of how the body works I could not help but feel the absolute divine precision of it all. It is obvious that the way the body works in harmony and co-operation goes far beyond anything we have been able to achieve by human intelligence.
‘…particles that are also a part of a universe that has a very precise and delicate order.’ I love the precision of these words ‘precise and delicate order’. A precise and delicate order in balance, it is illness and disease that that shows out of balance and disorder.
In terms of prevention this piece of writing is absolutely GOLD. As this explains how important it is to learn to listen and respond to our body’s communication to us. Life is in fact impulsed to us, through our body. From the inside out, yet at school and work we’ve learnt to act the way the teacher or the boss / manager wants us to act (behave). Of course this is quite damaging to us. At first we might hardly notice, but after a while the messages will become clearer and clearer. It depends on our willingness to act on the signals that come from the inside.
Matts, I love the simplicity of this: “So from this I realise that how I am with myself is important, because I know that the cells within me will respond accordingly. If I am harsh and not listening to the signals I get from my body, then the cells also have to work harder to keep everything going. And on the other hand, if I listen and go more gentle with myself, then the cells can bathe in a body that is warm and tender and that feels much more yummy.” – something we can all put into practice and support ourselves with.
How we are with ourselves is also how we are with everybody else and also how we are with God. All illness and disease says something about one and therefore all of these relationships.
The ‘why’ question is interesting when it comes to the body. Asking a succession of ‘why’ eventually leads to a ‘why’ that is at the moment unanswerable. Why do we have breast cancer? Because cells mutate uncontrollably. Why do they mutate? Because the DNA repair mechanism breaks down and the resulting cell avoids being killed. Why does it break down and avoid being killed while other cells don’t? From here on the answers get more speculative until we get to an “I don’t know” point.
With the growing number of lifestyle diseases globally, it seems to me that we as a human race do not appreciate just how amazing our human body is…
Exactly we focus on what is wrong or not right when we push our body, demanding it does all that we ask without nurturing and caring for it, for us and for humanity deeply.
Thanks, Matts…here’s to not making our cells work any harder than they have to! A great way to approach self-care and responsibility.
‘So from this I realise that how I am with myself is important, because I know that the cells within me will respond accordingly’ – and there is not a more accurate communication and response than our cells and the body with our observations reflecting the truth-full outcome.This has been a fantastic read, so simple and makes so much sense.
Thanks Matts, you bring such simplicity to this whole subject, that it makes you wonder why we do not consider this more.
I can feel how much we can take for granted how hard the body works for us when we are fit and well. It is easy to be complacent and we may be supporting ourselves with a nutritious diet and regular gentle exercise, but reading what happens inside the body on a cellular level is quite remarkable Matts. It has definitely been created to bring us back to harmony and true vitality in health.
We like to forget that we have a two-way relationship with our body; depending on how we look after and treat it, our cells will respond and do their bit. We can’t (rightly so) get away with being careless, aloof or stressed!
I often find it a surprising and interesting observation how impatient and frustrated we can get with our bodies when we get ill, not fully understanding how tolerant and understanding they actually are and perhaps how much we have really abused them to get to that point.
How very poignant it feels that we can choose to either live in harmony with the rhythm of the Universe – or not. Is it possible that the choice for disharmony and for an ‘alternative’ rhythm creates dissonance and the one-song that is our uni-verse is hence disrupted?
Understanding the biological functioning of our bodies along with the universal and energetic aspects as presented by Universal Medicine through Serge Benhayon brings a deep respect for our body and exposes our previous arrogance in overriding them to do whatever we choose in our minds.
It interests me that so many of us dismiss the body and take it for granted. When we take a much closer look at it, it is so perfectly designed and so intricate with its billions of cells, neurones, particles and then muscles, connective tissue, bones, blood, veins, nerves and so much more and yet it all works so beautifully that we forget about it and then override what it is telling us about our choices, and even when we make those harming choices the body continues to work 24/7 to repair itself! When considered in this light it seems a bit nuts to say that we don’t get support or that life sucks!
Well said Michelle, we do really get support around the clock, from the body itself – never ever does the body hold it against us when we make non-loving choices for ourselves.
As I read this blog I get a feeling everything is energy, so I ponder on what energy causes cells that have been dividing normally to suddenly become cancerous? Maybe the energetic cause of all illness as presented by Serge Benhayon is worth consideration especially seeing all types of diseases have become a problem for younger and younger people in all walks of society. As Serge Benhayon has presented from day one of his teaching ‘everything is energy therefore everything is because of energy’ so the energetic cause of any illness should be considered as the first thing that need to be looked into so that conventional medicine can do their bit.
“Just by becoming more aware of how the body actually works, I have become more humble and am treating my body with the utmost care, since it cares for me every day.” Wow Matts, if we all brought this level of awareness and care to our bodies, the potential change to what our health care systems have to deal with would potentially be enormous!
I agree that Universal Medicine is the first and only organisation that I have come across to date that encompasses the whole entirety of the body and works at healing the root cause of any illness, disease, contraction or stagnation in the body. Through the actual healing modalities and the willingness of the client to look at the choices they are making and be honest to what is going on, then true healing does occur. I have seen hundreds of lives change before my very eyes and from my own experience I have never felt so amazing in my life.
“I realise that how I am with myself is important, because I know that the cells within me will respond accordingly.” This is a huge realisation Matts and one that in time we will fully accept for the truth it is. The way we treat our selves, from the physical, the mental and emotional states to the energy we choose to impulse us, effects every single cell in our bodies. It’s a responsibility that at first can be too enormous to accept, but if we truly choose to take it on board and start to make loving choices, gradually over time we can completely transform our health and quality of well being, as we allow our cells to return to their true expression.
This blog I will read over and over again. It feels like the body gives us the truths about life 24/7. We look for the answers to so many things and yet the answers are right there with us all of the time.
Your humility for how the body works and the love and care you now offer it is deeply felt and an inspiration for all others . Thank you
It’s beautiful, the curious way you have unpacked this Matts. What I received reading your words was the vision of us all and how we consider that we are split apart and divided by barriers and walls. You show how that’s not the case at all, but how our every cell is linked in and listening to everything we do and say and all that’s happening around us. Our body really is all ears and ever so responsive.
Recently I have been learning more about the digestive system and have gained a whole new appreciation for what the body does, and what occurred to me was that we can choose to stay ignorant about the processes of the body so that we do not have to take responsibility and look at our behaviour.
Our bodies are just amazing creations, in the way they function autonomously with all parts working in harmony! Then, the thing between our ears tries to improve something that doesn’t require any help and or ignores what the body is telling us, throws a spanner in our works!
How many people are able to say that their bodies feel amazing? As children our bodies felt amazing and life felt amazing being in our bodies. Gradually over time we slowly poisoned them with all manner of substances and activities until eventually they felt like crap. The remarkable thing is that we are able to nurture our bodies back to full health and by doing so we reinstate the seat of the soul in our lives.
I love this, Alexis – “…we are able to nurture our bodies back to full health and by doing so we reinstate the seat of the soul in our lives.” I too am finding that it is never too late to bring our bodies back to harmony and health.
Indeed, Universal Medicine is a leading organisation in understanding how the body works. I hadn’t realised that previously, however there are no other organisations to my knowledge that bring such great understanding of the body.
What a great blog Matts. Often people who are considered physically healthy get cancer and then there is the question why? They don’t smoke, they eat well and they exercise. But your article explains the why. If the body is not in harmony or if the cells gets damaged and have to replace themselves at a faster rate that normal, they are more likely to mutate. Tension in the body is something that doesn’t fare well with harmony. When I go into drive or anxiety I can feel what a stress that puts on my body and that I am not moving in harmony. My body has to cope with this.
I agree – the stress is very harmful and it is interesting to notice how much damage even a few minutes cause to us, let alone extended periods.
‘the cells obviously know exactly what to do to give us optimal health. They are like our own little soldiers of health inside our body and they work around the clock to keep everything going.’ a great visual here Matts. And bringing it home about our responsibility to love and care for our amazing body.
Great article Matts. I love the body and the understanding of its work more and more. It works in utmost harmony, care and response. Every part reflects life back to me, so looking inside gives me a rhythm, whereas searching outside brings me out of rhythm.
So what happens to the cells with other illnesses too Matts? They are obviously disrupted when someone breaks a leg, or sprains an ankle, and then of course the inflammatory system works to repair the cells, I find the body absolutely extraordinary too the way it continually works to return us to a state of harmony.
‘in illness and disease you can feel how the body has become out of balance. Something has happened that makes the body act in a way as if it has to defend itself. The former harmony has changed into alert mode and there is a feeling of stress upon the body.’ – Because the body has an amazing ability to keep functioning even when something is out of balance, I have over time learnt that rather than dismissing what I feel and overriding my body’s signals, that truly caring for myself and my body in my everyday living makes all the difference and how that really supports my body to stay healthy and harmonious.
‘Our bodies are made up of more than a hundred million million (100,000,000,000,000) cells.’ That’s a lot of different cells to care for and be responsible for, yet how often do we even consider what we are doing to those cells when we live every day? Do we get caught up in doing things that need to be done but are not as important as we make them to be and override the care needed for our bodies? If we lived our day first knowing that we need to care for our bodies first and then approach what was needed our movements would be different, less harsh and more gentle.
It does seem crazy that we are given this amazing body that takes care of us, transports us around, does everything for us that we want it to do, and we just trash it! We do not appreciate what we have. It makes sense that after years of abuse the body will break down. If our inner environment has become toxic then it has no choice.
‘I realise that the way life is outside of the cells is paramount to how life plays out inside of the cells.’ Just my simple choices and reactions to moments are enough to harden my body and in doing this over time I am undoubtedly causing issues for my cells. How amazing is it therefore that my body’s natural capacity to heal has meant that I haven’t suffered from any disease yet given that I have been reacting to life for a very long time!
It is a responsibility to live in a way that is in sync with the universe, a purpose which makes absolute sense to me after pondering for most my life the reason as to why I was here. I feel so blessed to have come across Universe Medicine who are reflecting to me how this way of being can be lived.
“For a cancer to start, certain changes take place within the genes of a cell or a group of cells”. When we start to move away from who we truly are and the love we know ourselves to be, we create disharmony in the body. If we are emotional in any way the body can feel this and while we may not realise this, we are changing the natural flow in our body. Through the teachings of Universal Medicine I am learning to catch this a lot quicker and I can feel when I am not totally with myself because there is a vibration in my body that is letting me know I have moved away from the harmony my body was in previously. This becomes my marker to look at how I have been, rather than wait for an illness or dis-ease.
“So from reading this, I realise that the way life is outside of the cells is paramount to how life plays out inside of the cells.” A huge step forward in the realisation that we are not at the mercy of our bodies, in fact it’s so often the other way round, our bodies are very much at the mercy of what we choose to put them through.
” Mutations can happen by chance when a cell is dividing” I get the feeling that nothing at all happens by chance, we live in a world that is governed by the most elaborate and intricate order imaginable. I take that back, it’s not imaginable.
Matts your line here’ But there is obviously something that can happen that makes the cells behave in a way that is not their usual way, or you could say that they lose their natural rhythm and flow in how to behave’, could illness and disease simply be a reflection that we have lost our natural rhythm and flow, could it be that simple?
Yes it definitely could Alexis
“I realise that the way life is outside of the cells is paramount to how life plays out inside the cells.” I agree the body’s intelligence is truly amazing and in understanding this, then importance we have for our choices and the responsibility we also have of honouring and truly self-caring for our bodies.
Our bodies are our best friends when we consider that they are constantly rebalancing and compensating so much of the time for the choices that we make that aren’t as loving or harmonious as they might be. I know that my body feels so different when I play my part in that relationship to make loving choices towards its natural balance.
The amazing thing about the cell is they are all the same simplistically, but every one has a specific purpose… just like us!
“From the teachings presented by Serge Benhayon I understand that the body is made up from particles that are also a part of a universe that has a very precise and delicate order. This means that the particles of our body respond to what is going on in the universe and that we have a rhythm to adhere to, as does everything else in the universe” – incredible Matts, totally, and imagine if we grew up in the understanding and knowing of this?! That we and the way/quality we live is an integral part of the universes’s grand order.
It really is incredible to consider that from the tiniest cells and particles within, our bodies have the intelligence to know exactly what to do and when to do it.
This is magnified when looking out to the universe and all that is natural in between. And here we are being pretty casual about the whole magnificence of the wonder and divine design; we might eat, drink and abuse ourselves with an ‘it doesn’t matter’ approach. However our bodies are communicating that everything matters, we are part of a system and to break away only means destruction and not a ‘get off scot-free card’ just because we choose not to belong.
Understanding the body and the impact of our choices upon every cell within it brings a much greater sense of responsibility in the way we live – as custodians essentially.
Our inner environment reflects all of our outer choices. I know this to be true with every part of my being. It’s great that science is starting to catch up with this wisdom we all hold within, but we don’t need science to prove it to know it to be true.
The body is amazing in the way it responds to our lifestyle – the foods we eat can affect our mood which then affects our physiology and we can end up in a cycle of self-abuse without really realising what’s going on. As we refine our diet, we can become more aware of the subtle changes and can make different choices that allow for greater harmony.
I found it fascinating to read that it takes half a dozen mutations to occur before we get a cancer cell. So the body gives us 6 chances to change whatever is causing the disharmony in the body and cells, before it creates cancer. I feel this early warning system is very similar to all disease. If only we stopped and listened to our body earlier, we would not be so unwell these days. To actually get sick, we have needed to ignore a lot of signs from the body that things are not in harmony.
How we are with ourselves, makes a huge difference.
Our body and thus cells is a great reflection of the order of what’s next in our evolution showing us our commitment to our part in the plan in expanding our love from within and to how we live with the same quality on the outside. This also reflects how important communication and our expression is. Does it come from the order within or do we interfere with the output?
“So from this I realise that how I am with myself is important, because I know that the cells within me will respond accordingly.” And as Matts suggests how important is it to listen and be consciously present with the body so what is already in there can be honoured. Our bodies are amazing!
How hard do all these cells have to work to keep us fit and well? It is very humbling Matts to know all this information, and how the cells do know how to work together because of the information passed between each of them. The teachings of Universal Medicine show me the importance of supporting myself to be in harmony and rhythm, to support the cells work more easily.
‘Just by becoming more aware of how the body actually works, I have become more humble and am treating my body with the utmost care, since it cares for me every day.’ – I agree, awareness is key – we can miss out on many significant messages from our bodies by dismissing or overriding what we feel. When we start to truly care for our bodies we naturally build awareness.
I remember when I studied Anatomy and Physiology being in awe of the ability of our cells to rejuvenate and support all of the different systems in the body and it made me stop and really think about the effect I have on my cells and their ability to do so. How wonderful to have this connection and so I wonder why I have not made that link before and why education does not include the understanding that our bodies react and respond to how we are with them. How we treat them and our entire body and what a wonderful start in life if we grew up having the wisdom, knowing our own wellbeing is truly in our hands.
I find it hugely supportive to remind myself of just that Matts – that my body belongs to the order of the universe, and that because of this, there’s a wisdom within me that’s beyond the physical or the education we currently have about our bodies.
A simple truth, Matts, that brings ultimate responsibility back to each and every one of us for how we choose to live, as the single most contributing factor with regards to our state of health and wellbeing – “the way life is outside of the cells is paramount to how life plays out inside of the cells.”
When we break it down like this, seeing the body’s intelligence is quite remarkable!
Lovely to feel your openness and appreciation for all the hard work of your cells and your commitment to living in a way that supports them to do their job and for there to be harmony in and around you. What a gorgeous reflection in a world where there is so much disharmony both within our cells and in the world around us.
From your blog I can’t help but feel that the macrocosm of how we live in our day to day life has an impact and is reflected back at us in the microcosm of the cells of our body. So if the first is stressed and tensed it makes sense the cells can’t be harmonious either. Something worth to consider in daily life.
From what you have written so beautifully it is obvious that within our bodies nothing happens by chance; there is always a cause and effect; a consequence from the choices we make. Coming to understand this makes me realise that I am totally responsible for the health and well-being of my body so there is no one to blame when something becomes out of balance, it is simply my amazing body offering me a very important message.
If I have learnt anything about the body through years of studying it, it’s that nothing happens by accident, every thing in the body has a very precise purpose, even disease. Our common approach in this era is view cancer and other genetic ‘mutations’ as an out of control state, but what if the mutation in the cell is a deliberate choice by the body to clear itself of something that it can no longer contain or endure?
Once we start to recognise the relationship we have with our body – that it communicates back in response to what we put in it or what we do to it, e.g., if we over-eat, under-eat, put it in stressful or dangerous situations, get sunburnt, put toxic drugs in (alcohol, smoking, illicit drugs), we eventually recognise there is a cause and effect response that we have totally governance over. I wonder if we really realise just how amazing our body is with all that we put it through? So how more amazing would it be if we paid more attention to it and introduced self-care and self-nurture?
The more we build a relationship with our bodies, the more amazing things we find out about it – ignore it and we will not be interested until something goes wrong.
Thank you Matts, I truly appreciate people such as yourself who are interested and inquisitive and prepared to share your findings with others so that we too may be in the livingness of this important knowledge.
The body is absolutely fascinating and how it has a complete order, flow and each cell knows exactly what it is doing, why and when. The harmonious state that the body is design to be is a master piece until so foreign influence start to change this and create the illness and disease. We need to start to take responsibility for our actions, thoughts and words because this all has a ripple effect not only for ourselves but every thing in the Universe as well. The micro to the macro.
There have to be about half a dozen different mutations before a normal cell turns into a cancer cell – would this then indicate that we are relentless at ignoring our bodies’ signals if any one cell has to mutate 6 or so different times before it becomes a cancer cell?
I feel the more we are able to connect to how amazing our bodies are the more we will take care of them. Most of us are oblivious to the wonders of our bodies workings and some how biology at school is taught without appreciation of the wonder and magic we are living inside! A tragic misdirect of the loveless mind.
We have developed a quite sophisticated science to investigate phenomena on the physical level. What we are still missing out on is the energetic dimension that works behind the scenes as presented by Universal Medicine.
Thank you so much Matts for your beautiful blog that brings science, common sense and allows us to feel how tender and loving we can be with ourselves when we allow the wisdom of the Universe to show us the way. You bring all the parts together so wonderfully – and that is how life can be lived when we do allow our connection to each other and the greater universe to come together in power and harmony.
Thank you for sharing the intelligence of the cells in our body in the context of ourselves in the Universe as well. We have a responsibility to support our body in the best way we can to run in harmony within. That is our role as custodians of this amazing piece of equipment that has such smarts it knows exactly how to keep us healthy!
Very interesting to read your research on cells and genes Matts, it confirms and increases my awe of the bodies intelligence and our connection with the universe from particles. I particularly like this sentence .. ‘ if I listen and go more gentle with myself, then the cells can bathe in a body that is warm and tender ‘
‘Just by becoming more aware of how the body actually works, I have become more humble and am treating my body with the utmost care, since it cares for me every day.’ There is a beauty to the simplicity of this, for how many of us bash our bodies around taking little care with how we move it or feed it?
I am often blown away by the body – how it maintains balance and keeps up going day in and day out. I remember learning about respiration and how much work goes into producing the energy we need to function, or the progress of muscles moving which is happening all the time but which we take for granted. The body works tirelessly for us, perhaps it deserves a little more love
True Matts, the harmony of the body and how all of the minute cells work together in perfect order is extraordinary, and when things get out of balance e.g. a mutation occurs it is a great reflection for us to stop and consider whether WE have been living in the same quality of divine order.
We can harm our bodies in a physical way that is obvious, such as breaking a leg, but the way we think about ourselves affects our body too – how we are with ourselves can create harmony or tension, it is a choice we make in every moment.
Appreciating the intelligence of our body is truly humbling, it makes me appreciate the innate intelligence we have throughout our body, and how it is connected with everything and constantly working to bring us back to harmony.
I agree, the body is amazing, a forever responsive organism that constantly communicates, brings us understanding and shows us the next thing.
I love this description of our cells and their activity, Matts – “They are like our own little soldiers of health inside our body and they work around the clock to keep everything going”. When I connect to the truth of what is happening inside me, it inspires me to take better care of my body and not increase the little soldiers’ workload!
It is curious that science seems to have the knowledge of what is physically going on in our bodies, down to the last cell – so how come we are not adhering to that information in our personal lives, why are we not taught from young age and at school, that how we behave, how we move and how our food and drinks choices etc. affect our bodies, also down to the last cell. It is as if we haven’t yet connected these dots, or at least we seem to live as if we haven’t and end up in shock when we get illness or disease.
Thank you for explaining how cells respond in our bodies. This is just amazing and continues to humble me in just how grand the body is – and it is so much more than what we see on the outside. The outside is simply a reflection of the inside.
It makes so much sense that our bodies are simply a reflection of the way we live. Why would they not be. They experience first hand everything that we do. It’s crazy to have a mind set that separates the two. If we all fully understood this our lives and the whole world of health would be very different.
Matts, this is super interesting to read, ‘the body is made up from particles that are also a part of a universe that has a very precise and delicate order. This means that the particles of our body respond to what is going on in the universe and that we have a rhythm to adhere to’, this is so beautiful and helps me understand the root cause of illness and disease – us being out of rhythm and not living in our natural way, I can fee how if I make harsh movements, am not gentle and loving to myself how harmful this.
I am continually amazed by what our bodies reflect back to us. The perfect timing of cells knowing when to grow, divide and when to die is an awesome example of the rhythm of life, a perpetual cycle of motion and repose. What you have shared here Matts enables me to see that when this cycle becomes distorted by the cells not going into repose, it can be a reflection of how we are living our lives, in constant motion, taking no time to properly stop, rest, nurture and consolidate before going into motion again.
We are coming to understand more and more that our choices and environment are big factors in causing cancer but we are still a long way off truly taking this seriously to a cellular level.
I am always very humbled if I allow myself to feel my body and within my particles and through this – feeling the whole universe and the connection with the All.
Our body certain is a marvellous lab of biochemistry, physics, and biology in movement. Being aware of this and not taking it for granted, you can’t help but self nurture and self care and be inspired by the vibrancy it brings when you live with this appreciation.
So true. I found as well that I can give myself a hard time by living against my body and its sharing & calls, or I can go with the flow and surrender to ‘what it is’.
Simply choosing to observe the workings of any part of the body shows the most exquisite intelligence runs through and fuels every part of us 24/7. Even when there is a manifestation which is inconsistent to the natural harmony of the whole body such as cancer or any illness, disease or injury, there is still a definite flow and order in the unfolding of events in accordance of our own choices and the way we live. It is a clear reflection that are never separate or devoid of this divine order.
Great to know that someone who is studying Behavioural Science is in awe and deep appreciation of our physical body and its amazingness. All too often, the body is just regarded as a mere functioning unit and treated worse than some people’s cars. Your perspective will be different and very refreshing, if not (r)evolutionary.
The truth is that our every movement affects every cell in our body and every cell in the world. Considering this shows us the level of responsibility that we all need to step to.
Thank you, Matts. I always get inspired reading and learning about the intelligence of the body and how this spectacular divine order is naturally within us and all around us.
It is marvellous that you, as a behavioural science student, Matts, can pursue this interest in a scientific way because of your obvious passion in the subject. I wait to read the research project of your PhD about the epigenetics showing the cause of the cells mutating can be from the way we have been living.
Same here Gill its a key part of life, medicine and our bodies that is not often spoken about let alone understood or presented in a way that society can grasp.
Cells are amazing and for me it is like they represent the microcosm within the macrocosm of the body, and this again is an analogy of us as people, each representing the microcosm within a family, and a family representing a microcosm, of the macrocosm, of community etc etc. And so in the end it is about harmony on all levels, starting from the smallest scale and working our way up and back down again – this offers us the growth and the learning to naturally have environments that foster harmony within and without.
What you have shared here is very inspiring and offers an invitation to honour the amazing design of our bodies. As opposed to the glazed-over effect that scientific/medical information can impart i.e. a sense of separateness in the way the intelligence is applied, that is taking a position of powerlessness on our health because we don’t understand the true meaning and interconnectedness of all we do matters down to every cell and particle. This article offers a joy and humbleness to be an active participant in our entire well-being and not leaving it to science to clean up after ‘ill’ choices.
It can be a real stop moment if we choose, to know that all the millions of cells in our bodies are influenced by our movements, by the actions we take. It isn’t chance but choice, and something as seemingly innocent as the tone of voice we use to talk to another will influence our cellular structure. I feel it is worth us deeply understanding this as it may influence how we view our own role in illness and disease and provide a reflection to us in how we act, and that effect of every little detail of how we live.
Matts, I enjoyed your true logic and enquiry which does indeed reveal the amazingness of the body and the intelligence that is within that ensures that harmony prevails. As you say, if we allow stress and harmony to affect us the cells may eventually ‘go out of rhythm’ but if we have a consistent rhythm of nurturing ourselves this will tend to offset the effect of any intermittent stress. The other factor is that, since something like cancer brews for a long time in the body before manifesting as a tumour, it may emerge once we have this self-loving rhythm in place but then it will be an opportunity for us to clear out the old disregard and be free of it so long as we do not create more by allowing disharmonious behaviour. As you say, ‘we have a rhythm to adhere to, as does everything else in the universe’ and if we are not obedient to this we will eventually incur a correction in some form or another.
A great article Matts – 100,000,000,000,000 cells working around the clock… there is no doubt that true intelligence is NOT found in our minds, but in our amazing bodies.
Ancient medicine, medicine at its roots was encompassing of the whole body with not one single part separated and treated away from the whole body or indeed the whole of life. As our medicine has advanced, we lost touch with this whole body approach and in doing so have lost the ability to see how life is connected and therefore so are the illnesses we experience
I love how you have shared that Universal Medicine is the only organisation that has the full understanding of how the body systems all impact each other together.
i agree that this understanding is key to why UM is able to support people with a range of health conditions to attain a far greater quality of life and a deep insight into the underlying causes of ill health conditions. Other clinics or modalities have not been able to offer the full package and as such the human being is left without knowing the needed whole story as to what has occurred and why.
The body is out of this world in its design and worth appreciating to the bone.. thank you for writing this blog.
The body is a symbol of our livingness – its particles do not lie.
It is very humbling when we look at how amazing our bodies are and how little we actually know. This piece of writing emphasises the importance of how we treat ourselves as there are so many factors to our wellbeing, but if we are able to connect to ourselves it is just a matter of listening to those cells within.
Matts, thank you – you bring a great appreciation of the simplicity and awareness of the Universal order that is inherent in our cells and particles and thus there is always a magnetic pull towards our true way of being, however many u-turns and blind alleyways we take along the way.
It is interesting to ponder what natural order do our cells and particles respond to past our DNA and why would our cells multiply outside the body’s normal pattern of generation?
I feel we need to completely change the way we view illness and disease and healing because sometimes perhaps we do need to get ill for the body to clear something that we have accumulated in order for it to return to a more harmonious state?
Our bodies do have an amazing ability to heal and return back to a harmonious state if we support them to do so. Healing for me is not about fixing or solving but about creating the most supportive environment for our bodies to do what they do naturally.
How patient is our body with us when we are misusing, not working with the body but against it. I say this as I read in your writing ‘There have to be about half a dozen different mutations before a normal cell turns into a cancer cell.” It made me aware that I can appreciate my body and its origin so much more than I do now, so thank you Matts for pointing this out.
My son has just shared with me that the small intestine is the same length as 3 double decker buses in a row! This has given me a stop moment to ponder on the miracle of the human body and how perfectly designed it is. Factor in that our particles are the same as the particles in the universe and that they respond to those particles and the natural cycles and rhythms of the planet and we can pretty much see a divine plan working out.. It would make complete sense that if we live in way that is out of sync with all of this, then our cells would start to communicate it!
The question I have for myself today is ‘how can I support the cells in my body to repair and do their thing?’ It is no wonder I’m so exhausted if I constantly dismiss the work my body needs to do to rid itself of what I load it with throughout the day. Simple things like drinking enough water, staying with my body, taking a break from work when I’m tired and not pushing through have a huge impact on whether I feel tired or not at the end of the day. I have days when I honour these things and days when I don’t, letting work be the priority over my body, but we need our bodies in order to work, so it’s crazy not to honour what they are telling us and allow our heads to rule the show.
When we are provided with a body that perfectly knows how to work by an order and harmony that is in tune with the order that governs everything in the universe, who then is the ‘I’ that can make choices that are in disharmony and misalignment with such universal principles? How is it that what we call or know ‘I’ to be an entity on its own, can either choose to be in harmony or disharmony with its body and the greater order of nature? What these questions simply bring to awareness is that we are not the body but are living in and expressing through a body, that there is a being inside that has free will and responsibility.
Matts I love the simplicity and strength in your sharing that comes down to how we treat ourself, how we take care of ourself is key to life, as our cells and our body respond to everything around us as well as the care we take in how we live. What an amazing reflection to have our bodies showing us and supporting us to evolve.
At work I regularly meet a nurse that has just come off a long weekend night shift in A&E and she is struggling to cope with the intense pressure she is constantly under, She becomes anxious as Friday approaches and she starts her shift again, she said she never used to feel this but the job has changed so much. We all complain about the state of our National Health Service and the pressure the nurses and doctors are under but we are all responsible for this, and until we are willing to acknowledge that we are not only responsible for our health, but the way we live is the cause of our ill health, nothing will change and only get worse. So I too “greatly appreciate what I have learned through Universal Medicine and also deeply value the gorgeous medical staff that are working patiently in the hospitals to look after us when we need their assistance.” Absolutely Matts.
It is often the case that when we begin to truly understand the workings of the human body, then we can come to know of God, the Universe and how every part and particle holds together. This is the blessing of true science for those who know not of God first. For others who know the exact nature of the divinity we each in essence are, there is a continual awe at the majesty and precision in which this great body of love, our Father, holds all within his sphere and that within our every particle (the tiny spheres or sparks of God) is found the vast universal intelligence and order of which we are all born from. Living true to this is the key to life.
Beautiful Matts, this is a lovely sharing and completely makes sense, reading it makes me want to to care for and be gentle with my body so that it is in its naturally, harmonious state, I can feel with my achy legs at the moment that my body is not feeling so harmonious and that this is something to look at and work on.
“… the way life is outside of the cells is paramount to how life plays out inside of the cells. This means that the cells know exactly what to do and how to behave if there is harmony within and around them, but if there is stress and disharmony they might work for a certain amount of time, but eventually the force that is working against the body makes the cells eventually go out of rhythm and form what we then call, in this case, cancer…” Our body truly is a marker of how well we truly are!
‘… if I listen and go more gentle with myself, then the cells can bathe in a body that is warm and tender and that feels much more yummy.’ Beautiful Matts. Understanding that how we move affects trillions of tiny cells within, certainly confirms the intricacy of our relationship with our body.
The extraordinariness of the human body is amazing, yet it is just a tiny aspect of the awesomeness of God.
The direct connection of environment and lifestyle choices has been known for years, and by changing aspects of our life, there is a higher rate of success of undoing what we have done to our body! So, why do we still look for the quick fix?
“For a cancer to start, certain changes take place within the genes of a cell or a group of cells.” What if this is not a random event in the body, but a definite choice by the cell to expose an ill? The more I study anatomy & physiology, the more I appreciate that nothing in the body happens by accident, it all has immense purpose.
Like absolutely everything else in life nothing happens without reason.
It makes so much sense to me that the way we live on a day to day basis will affect how our cells operate. There is a harmonious way where everything flows the way it should, and then there are the numerous opposites. Even simply holding tension in a part of the body makes me realise that the tightening of the muscles in that area means the blood flow is restricted, so the correct amount of oxygen doesn’t get to where its needed, nor the right amount of nutrients. This is just one small example.
The science of the cell is quite amazing. Each time I hear about another thing that they do and the amazing way they work together I am more in awe of these small units that make up us human beings.
‘This means that the particles of our body respond to what is going on in the universe and that we have a rhythm to adhere to, as does everything else in the universe.’ Particle Physics only looks at the particles in a laboratory setting – it needs to expand its remit to include the physics of the body – in fact all our sciences need to combine, medicine, psychology, physics, chemistry.
“……as you get to know that the cells obviously know exactly what to do to give us optimal health. They are like our own little soldiers of health inside our body and they work around the clock to keep everything going.” I love this analogy that you give of our cells Matts. I now have an image of thousands of tiny soldiers marching around inside my body keeping everything in order, doing it wihtout any fuss and bother because that is simply what is there to be done. What a great lesson we can learn from the cells of our bodies, a beautiful reflection of how we can live our lives in harmony with everyone and everything around us.
Being in awe and respect of our physiology is a great way to bring our attention to self care – and this article cannot but inspire me to honour the amazingness of our bodies.
What jumped out at me in reading this Matts, is the statement that mutations in cells can occur ‘by chance’… What if, as Serge Benhayon has been presenting for many years now, “everything is because of energy”? That all that occurs is by virtue of a choice and expression of energy… If we take ‘chance’ out of the equation, we are asked to look far more deeply at what our bodies are relaying to us, when mutations occur.
We have so very much to learn about the true causative factors with cancer, for example, and the role our bodies play in dealing with what is not in harmonious rhythm both within and without. What an amazing service our bodies actually offer us…
The end result of a body that loses its homeostasis and connection to the natural rhythm and flow it functions in, due to our ability to disregard it and disrupt the flow, is quite extraordinary. The responsibility we therefore have to honour the body and treat it accordingly for our own health is immense… and should never be left for medicine to try to rectify or fix the repercussions of our choices.
“the body is made up from particles that are also a part of a universe that has a very precise and delicate order” – this line alone is worth to ponder on for a while…makes me humble and calls me into my responsibility. My body is part of the Universe and so it has an effect on it, as the Universe has an effect on my body too. With this knowing and realization in mind my next self-abusive choice – be it food or how I treat myself hard – gets a different dimension!
I love how you went from cells in the body to the wider picture of particles in the Universe. Well the cells in the body are the particles of the Universe! I too have learnt (and continue to learn) so much from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. What I could feel while reading this is how I have been not necessarily fighting my body, actually yes if I am honest that is what it feels like I have been doing being in ‘doing’ mode, which is going to affect the cells, as this is not in line with the harmony they truly carry. Thank you.
It is through our bodies that we come to know our own amazingness. If our amazingness comes from a thought and not from our body then it has come from outside of us and will disappear with the slightest puff of wind, as opposed to the solidity of the amazingness that comes from the body.
Thank you for sharing the details of cells and genes and how they work in harmony or disharmony. It is reflective of our external choices – in that we always have a choice that is either harming or healing in the body and the buck does not stop there. We have to be aware that there are consequences to our choices and these are felt within the inner systems of the body. So the body reflects back to us the sum and quality of our choices. Amazing.
Thank you Matts, as I was reading I realised that the cells that behave abnormally (or that science may see as faulty) that cause cancer may in fact have a known purpose and be dealing with an issue exactly how they are supposed to. The fact that we see cancer as abnormal and a fault of the body may be the very way of thinking that prevents us from understanding why cancer is actually occurring. Also if we isolate the cancer to relating to one part of the body, or to the physical and not the whole being, to this time and not the way life has been lived and experienced previously, to human life alone and not the whole universe we are part of, then we may never understand it’s cause and purpose.
Thank you for presenting these details on how a tumour develops, in easy to understand terms. I find it quite amazing and also humbling that about half a dozen mutations have to occur before a tumour develops. Our bodies are infinitely patient and cooperative, always there to support – is what I take from that information.
Yes the body is masterful in how it works to bring back the divine harmonious rhythm and order within… and without. Therefore Cancer or in fact any illness and disease need never be seen as a failure in the sense it is a correction or can be an immense healing if it has returned us to once again to live in harmony and truth that we are. Perhaps this is why many refer to cancer as a blessing. True understanding supports us all.
We are never taught to appreciate the incredible wisdom our bodies hold. We are taught about function and body parts but there is never appreciation for how utterly incredible it is that cells can repair themselves and this is supported by the choices we make. What would the NHS look like if this was taught in schools?
I too have been noticing the amazingness of my body. But we humans have a tendency to do our own thing in our own way without bothering to consider the divine order and rhythm we are part of.
The beauty of it is that such a grand order and harmony can not be broken. Any push against it simply sets in motion corrective cycles to pull everything back to the natural harmony. It is fascinating witnessing this in action in the workings of our bodies even when it manifests in the corrective cycles of illness and disease.
It is interesting reading the medical descriptions of how cancers occur, but they fall short of answering the question why. What I love about your presentation here Matts is the appreciation of the truly harmonious nature of the body and the responsibility we all have in taking loving care of it. Greater responsibility for our own wellbeing can only be a good thing and can help alleviate the intense pressure on the Health and Social Care services across the world.
Matts, thank you for this wonderful article reminding us that how we are on a day to day basis has an impact on the cell and how it functions. I have heard of the cell being referred to as the ‘Hidden Kingdom” – I find this a beautiful analogy in that each cell is like a beautiful little space that contains the castle (the nucleus) and all the surrounding houses and factories (mitochondria, golgi apparatus etc) needed to keep things working harmoniously. However, there is a deeper more power “Hidden Kingdom” that is the powerhouse for all these cells, and this is what I feel you are talking about – it is the connection and then the lived power of this deeper Hidden Kingdom within ourselves (in essence our Soul) that then feeds the cells to live in harmony. However, when we disconnect from this essence, we in effect choose to work in ways that are not natural and not harmonious to our inner essence, and hence this can throw the cells off and lead to disobedient growths, tumors, cancers, illness and disease. Though science and medicine are paramount in supporting us when this has happened, the key to returning to harmony lies in the return to, the connection and the lived power of the deeper Hidden Kingdom that lies within us all.
I love the ‘Hidden Kingdom’ analogy Henrietta, When we connect to our Soul we move differently: harmoniously, tender, loving and we live simple, ordered, and purposeful lives. Our cells respond according to how we live.
When I move with my body, rather than I ask (tell) my body to follow me, I feel very alive and flowing. As if with every step I’m confirming to all those cells in my body how beautiful, delicate, tender and loving I am (and so much more). If I’m not with my body, there’s no flow, no joy, no lightness etc. It sounds pretty obvious to me that not being with our body over a period of time cannot but lead to cells that are not in their natural order. Leading to illness and disease. What I miss personally miss in the description of lots of illness and disease is the importance of the flow of energy. As if ‘energy’ has nothing to do with the flow inside of our body, which to me is strange (to say the least) as all the days of our life we’ll have a certain flow of energy running through us. Where does this energy resonate, how does it enter and do we have a say / choice in it?
Our bodies are indeed walking miracles. Every cell can feel how we are living and responds in kind. How amazing.
‘… if I listen and go more gentle with myself, then the cells can bathe in a body that is warm and tender and that feels much more yummy.’ I love this Matts, and yes, warmth and tenderness with and within ourselves is surely the key to a more harmonious way of being internally, and externally.
Treating our bodies with tenderness and respect is the beginning of stepping responsibly into the part we play in the bigger picture – being caring and responsible for our health and well being as well as being alert and aware so that we can support and serve others.
I particularly love what you have presented on particles to add to the bodily equation Matts, I feel that the more universal laws of harmony my body and particles align to the more my body feels complete.
Our own body is like one big cell amongst many other cells (people) on this planet we live on. Because everything is connected, if we are living disharmoniously in our life, then this has an energetic effect on a macro and micro level. How we live affects the all i.e. everyone, and it affects the cells of our own body. So, we may not have cancer in our own body, but if the way we live causes disharmony – does this create a cancer like energy on our planet?
Science is very aware how stress generated by activities like smoking can be instrumental in these mutations but it gets controversial when we are looking at mutations caused by attitudes and emotions as there does not seem to be a persuasive causal mechanism. That understanding may be some time away.
This simple teaching of choosing to be caring, nurturing and supportive with who we are is everything when it comes to our health and wellbeing.
Matts the way you have shared the wonders of how our bodies are designed to naturally work is brilliant, and would serve greatly to be read by all sectors of the science and medical fields. When we get back to the simplicity of the facts, that our bodies are constellated particles of light, held in a divine order that all things in this universe are equally held in, we will then know the power that comes from our surrender to the truth in our bodies, through which we can freely live the light of our Soul with the harmony intended. In this we will sense and understand why and where the disharmony comes from, and accordingly have the awareness to correct it. As from here we will truly begin to live the amazingness we are.
The body responds to life – to the life we choose to live and it is our responsibility to love deeply ourselves, our body our movements because then the cells can do their job. Thanks Matts
It makes so much sense that if there is harmony within our bodies then cell life will be harmonious, and if there is disharmony within our bodies then cell life will be disharmonious also.
When I read this article I am definitely given more awareness on what is going on inside my body and around me. When I was reading about the cells within our body and mutations and how they effect the other cells around them I thought of people. How there are so many of us as well and how we only think we operate in separation to each other. It could be possible that just like how cells are in communication with each other that people are the same. It’s not a walking talking communication like we may picture but more on an energy levels. This is the image that came to me when I was reading about the cells in this article, that so many things are so closely linked. It’s just that we live a different way and in that way we consider people are just people and cells are only a function in the body and for some strange reason they just do what they do, when in fact everything is connected we just may need to change the way we move.
Considering ourselves down to our cells and particles in this way, we are not only honouring ourselves responsibly but everyone equally. What a pressure we release the over subscribed health care workers and health systems from when we simply don’t turn up saying “I have no idea what happened but now I need fixing”.
Lovely writing Matts, the breakdown of cell is not often considered when we hear about cancer, but it is a strong link between our patterns of behaviour and the function of a cell, or on a micro level, the spaciousness or denseness of our particles. Maybe we could go through our daily life asking that question, am I making choices that support healthy cells and spacious particles. That could be considered deeply caring.
I am not 100% sure why, but I was moved to tears reading your blog today. As I write this it feels around the amazingness of our bodies and how we instinctively know harmony and it is how we are best suited to work and to live in connection to the universe around us – and how incredible it is that we know this and a certain sadness around that we are so far from living it at this moment in time.
I felt sadness too as I hold a lack of appreciation for the amazingness that takes place within our bodies on a daily basis as our cells have no day off or lack of commitment.
“Then the cells can bathe in a body that is warm and tender”. This alone reminds us that the cells in our body require a very particular environment to work at optimum, and that we are totally responsible for providing this.
Reading this I thought about work situations, if there is chaos all around often I can feel it impact on the team and the inner workings of the staff who are like the cells. If the environment around us is calm then so are the ‘staff cells’. What is beautiful about Universal Medicine is that as you’ve shared Matts, when we look after ourselves and support our own cells to work together harmoniously then that one body contributes to the outer environment surrounding other bodies. Our inner quality can affect the quality of other people, as if each person was one big cell.
When I read this blog I feel a deep sense of divinity and pristine order that is far far greater than the mere function of the body alone. Appreciating this is a great start to feeling how divinely amazing we all must be.
WE often hear the phrase that life is precious but do not consider ourselves part of that preciousness and that preciousness exists in the body and it is nothing to be afraid of or shy away from.
Matts I love how your curiosity of the workings of the body has led you to research and understand how a disease such as cancer develops, and your understanding and deep appreciation of the physical body and how sensitive and innately supportive it obviously is to every environment that we submit it to.
Thanks for bringing home how amazing our bodies are and all the details in which it supports us everyday. Isn’t it astonishing how we have more than a hundred million million cells working harmoniously in our bodies in every moment, but when we detour from working together then a small group show the affects of the separation. Isn’t this a microcosmic look at what happens in the world? Instead of humanity all working, living and evolving as one harmoniously, we have extremists, hate, comparison, manipulation, corruption, femicide etc. all working against coming together as one… and this divide slowly but surely festers and exposes itself in due time.
So true Aimee, and this reflects our interconnectivity, that everything affects everything. This is empowering when we realise that our every choice and movement in life can be one in harmony or in opposition to our nature.
What an incredible miracle the body is, I had never appreciated how many cells we had and how they work so hard together to keep us well and balanced in homeostasis. The scientists can look into the details of how and what goes wrong, but we can also feel into it ourselves when we are unwell, how we have being living out of balance before the illness developed to cause a change at cellular level.
It is truly amazing how all the different organs and cells in our body communicate and have an innate pull to harmony and it’s great to appreciate this and to be wiling to see how we can support our body to be harmonious rather than to fight it.
I appreciate that you have taken the time to discover and share more of what is going on in this body of ours. The care in the way this article is written, is felt in every word, my body sings at the quality you have written this in, so for that I am grateful to you.
Thanks Matts. We have more say and control over our wellness or our illness than is currently accepted in medicine and in society.
Our body is very intelligent. More intelligent than we realise. Even having studied about the body for a number of years, I have to say that a more true understanding and deep appreciation of the body has come from my studies with Universal Medicine.
Personally there was a point where I realised that I carry my body, so that it in turn can hold me. This awareness has meant a much greater level of responsibility in how I care for and live in my body bringing me to an understanding of the untapped grandness of the intelligence our body lives with. With out this intelligence we would be much more ill than we are.
My body is appreciating your appreciation Matts, thank you, and I am inspired to consider the miracle that our bodies are.
This is a beautiful blog Matts allowing a simple understanding of the amazingness of our bodies and the harmony our cells love innately living in. How cells mutate and caner starts to happen and the possible reasons why explained here for us to look at lovingly. You offer responsibility for our livingness and true health with a humbleness and awe of the body and all we are part of in our divine constellation. Very inspiring.
If more of us considered the truly amazing process our body is living everyday and realised the tenderness and delicateness of this process we would definitely not be treating our bodies with the disrespect and contempt that is now an accepted normal in the world in which we live in.
Yes there is a huge amount to appreciate and respect about our body. Sometimes we get cancer or other conditions because our body is giving us a message to change our ways, and sometimes when we are doing very well we get it as a form of great clearing and healing. Whichever is the case it is always a healing and it is always a very personal message to each person and never something to judge.
This is a beautiful and deeply powerful way to look at what illness and disease are offering us on so many levels Nicola. We as a whole don’t often look at the healing or blessing opportunity our bodies present for us to change or evolve from.
Yes, it is quite a surprising message to hear – getting ill because we are doing so well but that could easily be true.
This is true Nicola, and brings a greater understanding of the divine order at play. As you say an illness or disease like cancer will be a personal message for each person. We are yet to appreciate the true healing that is possible through illness. Thank you.
Yes I completely agree – we do tend to only see a tiny part of the big picture and often miss the true grandness and magnificence on offer as it does not fit our little picture.
Thanks, Matts. I love hearing about the ‘precise and delicate order’ of our bodies and also in the entire universe, and to feel how we are intrinsically a part of a greater organism.
The body works tirelessly to maintain ta healthy balanced state in the body, allowing us to live and do all that we want to do – but that is where the problem can occur. The body has a certain level of resilience to actions, behaviours, choices that are actually harmful – sometimes it can continue to function for many years and we can get used to the limitations and issues that can arise, ignoring them or patching them up while we continue to live in the way we want, seemingly free of consequences. Eventually however, the body reaches a limit and begins to break down in ways we cannot ignore. Is it possible that the stress we often put our bodies under simply because we can have more of an effect than we like to think?
It makes so much sense that the environment out side of our bodies, and how we treat our bodies would affect the internal body at a cellular level, and when we observe the amount of stress and abuse we put our bodies through, is it easy to see why the body buckles under the weight of those choices.
“treating my body with the utmost care, since it cares for me every day.” – Such a great statement that really called me to appreciate my relationship with my body and to be in it as I would with any other respectful and loving relationship with another. This really highlights that the loving quality of relationship I have with myself is the quality I will take to my relationships with others.
Matts what a great topic to write about, our body is truly amazing and when we heard about illness and disease we often think this is a bad thing, something about the body not being amazing instead of appreciating how amazing the body is as it shows us all exactly how loving or unloving we have or have not been, both on an individual level and as a wider humanity. Even though it may not be what we like to hear/receive it certainly is amazing in every detail.
Matts, this is a powerful blog, which leaves me also deeply humbled by how finely tuned the body is to keep itself in a state of balance and harmony. How exposing this is of the affect of our ill choices of food, quality of rest and self-care that distress and cause disharmony in the body from the outside inwards. A moment to pause, stop and reflect upon daily choices that are unsupportive to this delicate homeostasis throughout our cells and particles.
Yeah it really hits home when you start to examine the body on such a micro level. If you’re talking about particles or the mutation of cells, it’s so out of our grasp it can be easy to ignore – but when you understand that this is the area where cancer starts, it does make you sit up and think about how you’re living a little more. Thanks for shedding light on this, Matts.
I agree Matts Universal Medicine is leading the way in understanding the body in it’s entirety and how it works. From the presentations by Serge Benhayon I have a much deeper understanding of how behaviours, emotional disturbances and childhood patterns all put stress on our bodies and contribute to illness and disease. Learning that a cold is not just a cold, but that we have let our body go in someway that has caused the cold. Collectively as humanity we are still not willing to take responsibility for our own health and wellbeing, we still see illness as something that randomly happens, but as you show Matts it is a gradual process of cells changing until such time that that they can no longer cope and start to mutate with the end result being cancer or heart disease or some life threatening illness. If we were to see illnesses as stages and degrees and that when we ignore one type of illness the body has to speak louder with another type of illness which may look at the time to be totally unrelated yet has its roots in the first illness.
The greatest form of medicine we can take to establish, maintain and improve our health is constant loving self-care.
Interesting question you pose here Matts – does cancer really start by chance or genetic lottery or do we have more influence on our cells than we care to admit with our daily lifestyle choices?
Thank you Matts, I too appreciate the immense care that all the staff delivers in our hospitals and doctors’ surgeries to care for us when we are sick, and the immense wisdom imparted through the Universal Medicine teachings that support us to take responsibility for our health. I know now through these teachings that we affect the quality of our genes through the quality of our thoughts, choices and actions, things that can either enhance or damage the delicate nature of our bodies. This sentence “There have to be about half a dozen different mutations before a normal cell turns into a cancer cell” makes me ponder on the possibility that what if behind these genetic mutations lie about half a dozen re-interpretations and complications that we have invented in our lives that keep us away from simply nurturing our body.
‘So from this I realise that how I am with myself is important, because I know that the cells within me will respond accordingly.’ This makes total sense to me. When I am gentle with myself giving myself the time and space just for me before my day starts I am supporting myself to stay connected to my body – to keep everything aligned and harmonious – a space it generated for the whole day and my body certainly appreciates this!
I too find the body fascinating and the way it is constantly 24/7 regulating and balancing itself from the moment of fertilisation. It is no wonder then when we choose to put substances, and this includes emotions and stress, into our bodies, which all cause a chemical reaction of some kind, how our body over time becomes dis-eased. It is designed to work in a particular order as is the world we live in and when either or both are out of sync very lovingly we are shown through what we call illness, disease, accidents etc. a correction and a way back to the harmony and true essence of our being and body.
There is nothing that happens by chance in our body or our life – everything happens as a result of the energy we are choosing to live in – love or not love – everything there after is a given.
Is it the cells dividing that lead to cancer or is it actually how we live our life? Not in the fullness of who we are? Is it our lack of expression, living truth, speaking our truth, lack of self nurturing etc that is the route cause of cancer?
Our bodies are amazing but the harmony or lack of it that we choose to live in is crucial for maintaining optimal health. This is something that I am only now appreciating having spent many years pushing my body relentlessly and then getting frustrated when it let me down. Thanks to Universal Medicine for supporting us to feel how we are in our bodies and how that impacts every aspect of how we are living.
If our cells are affected by conditions outside ourselves, such as tobacco, pollution etc, to make us sick, it stands to reason that the way we treat our body – conditions within us so to speak – also how we do what we do – will equally affect our health. As you mention Universal Meducine is the forerunner in this field, in understanding how the body and its organs work, not just functionally but also energetically. We know that ‘everything is energy’ – Einstein. Serge Benhayon presents that ‘everything is because of energy’ also. Slowly the scientific community is also telling us that epigenetics – lifestyle – is important in disease prevention.
Awesome blog Matts, I too deeply appreciate how amazing our bodies are. This is so interesting to read and inspires me to honour and embrace the natural rhythm and order of my body, and therefore the natural rhythm and order of the universe. It makes total sense why this is so important and I am beginning to understand that illness and disease is our body’s way of telling us we are not living in harmony with the universal rhythm and order on all levels, as a result our cells are simply reflecting our choices.
It is very beautiful to consider that how we are with our bodies in life will have an impact on our tissues and cell and their environment. It is the utmost motivator of committing to deeply caring for my body as it is very delicate and intricate in how it works – instead of just taking it for granted.
Thank you Matts, great observations on the ‘Whys?’ of the cells in our body. It reveals our responsibility in that as our particles are part of the Universe which effects the particles of our body then how we care for our particles in the way we live will equally have an effect on the order of the Universe.
Matts, I love the way you have expressed this: science is meaningful when presented in a way that brings understanding as to why and how illness and disease happens. Through you we learn the importance of gently caring for our amazing bodies. If we want it to work for us, we have to work for it. It is a partnership.
We all have Body clocks or circadian rhythms. The particles we are all made of are just reacting to the cycles of the universe we live in. So, why do we think the abuse we do to our bodies has no effect?
Some things in life may appear to be happening ‘by chance’ and we sometimes wash our hands off saying ‘it’s a miracle/accident/good or bad luck’ but when we take responsibility for the part we play as everything is everything and nothing is ever nothing, we are claiming our magnificance/humbleness in this grandest scheme of things at the same time.
Having read your great blog Matts I can get a strong sense of how very different our health and the quality of our well-being would be if we were taught what you have shared from an early age. As I was reading I was trying to recall how much of this I was taught in high school and the answer is probably very little. I can though remember a teacher saying that 1 in 4 of us would most likely get cancer in our lives, a very sobering thought, but what I can’t remember is anyone presenting to us that how we live our life would have a huge effect on the quality of our health; that teaching would definitely be a life changer.
What you describe here Matts, about the delicateness of our bodies, makes me humble as I can now connect to the enormity of cells my body that when taken care for will prosper and grow in rhythm with a grander order, the rhythm of the universe where it they are part of and to which everything has to adhere to. When I ignore this fact and create my own way of living, in fact I am introducing stress to my body, to each of the hundred million million cells it is made of and then it is just a matter of time when illness and disease will wake me up to tell me that something is not okay, that I am out of rhythm with the grander whole we are all part of.
This is a lovely blog reminding is to take tender care of our bodies ‘in its healthy state, the body is at rest with itself, there is a harmony and rhythm in which the body and its cells cooperate and work in a homeostatic, self-sustaining way.’ It is up to us how much stress we choose to live with and our bodies are affected accordingly.
A simple account of what is the basic structure of the cell form and how we play a pivotal role in how it functions to support us daily. It is so easy to brush off our behaviours as being okay and ignoring all the simple aches and pains as just part of getting old or how the body can be sometimes be but this blog shows that anything that is not harmony is felt and expressed from the body whether we like it or not. Each action is a call for responsibility of the choices we make in every moment. Our body clocks it all even thought we may pretend not to.
It makes sense that we need to consider the whole, our bodies, our lifestyle, the context that we live in and most of all the energetic quality that we live our lives in. For what is out of balance or in disharmony that our bodies that are so intricate and respond to a natural order goes out of control in mutating cells? What if there is no chance in mutations merely a cause and effect dynamic in life?
Thank you for sharing your insight with us Matts. This has given me a much better understanding of the way and the why of cancer.
I love the open curiosity of this blog and how absolutely amazing our bodies are – they are designed to be in harmony and once out of harmony then mutations, so in fact those mutations are a tell that we are out of harmony or rhythm with ourselves. Again our bodies are truly amazing.
Matts the way that you have married the traditional medical text with your deep understanding of the body is nothing short of masterful.
How we are with ourselves is the utmost foundation we build with ourselves. It is never about perfection, but how we are with ourselves in every moment in life. What is the most amazing, warm, delicate, tender, loving in life begins with these moments with ourselves.
These days we freak out and lose our minds when we read that a TV screen or mobile phone has a lot of pixels. ‘Wowee!’ we say excitedly ‘that seems a lot to me’. Yet all the time we are sitting, living with a work of art in hi-tech engineering – our body. The only fault you could pick is it’s often too efficent for its own good. It suffers all kinds of abuse and still always finds the most supportive way for us to get through the day. Just imagine what disorder we have to choose in order for it to sound the alarm loud. Thank you Matts for your tribute to the body here.
The body is remarkable and miraculous and that is just in its day to day functioning, let alone when it needs healing. Part of the process back to living in full understanding of our divinity is to really feel and know how amazing our actual bodies are, there are 100 billion neurons in our brain ! That is just beyond comprehension! But you can see the harmony of the earth and nature we are made up of the same stuff the same particles, chemicals and there is a rhythm that supports and we often live in opposition to this harmony.
