When I first attended a lecture given by Serge Benhayon in London 7 years ago, I sat there as a University educated, self-confessed logical thinker, sensibly questioning and intelligent person, who had been pursuing a lifelong interest in the improvement of people’s well-being through education, employment opportunities, along with emotional and physical healing practices. I had worked for public and private enterprise, for government, companies and for myself. I subsequently reacted to the limitations in conventional medicine by establishing a 13 year career in Shiatsu and healing practices steeped in Asian philosophy, Buddhism, Yoga and meditation, that encompassed training and practice in Australia, Japan and finally the UK.
Along the way I used my considerable drive and willpower on my body to explore a large number of the ‘alternative’ health practices on offer, so that by the time I sat at this lecture, I sat proudly with my toned personal trainer type body, fresh off my bicycle, feeling somewhat ‘holier than thou’ on my raw food diet and alienated stance against conventional medical practices and pharmaceuticals. I also sat there with more than a healthy scepticism, as I was acutely cautious of anyone masquerading as a teacher but who was in truth a hidden guru, for I had sat at the foot of such a one for 5 years in Japan and was not about to be fooled again.
So why was I interested in this lecture, given I clearly had a certain arrogance about what I thought I knew to be true? Well, there were still too many unexplained conditions in clients I treated and limitations in the healing modalities I practiced. I had reached a state of physical health and fitness that many admired but never satiated the need for betterment, in fact its pursuit seemed to feed it. But most of all, of all the presenters, teachers and false gurus I had listened to, followed, sat with and even taught under, I had yet to meet one that walked their talk; not one who truly lived ‘consistently’ what they presented and this eventually exposed the holes in their presentations and the limitations in their ‘teachings’.
It was not human perfection I was looking for but the integrity of truth in living. And for the next 7 years, as I diligently observed for my own peace of mind, this is all I ever witnessed in Serge Benhayon: an unwavering commitment to truth both in public and private life, in the clinic room and with his family, he lives the truth of what he presents, nothing more and nothing less. An area of Universal Medicine that bears the representation of this so masterfully is the Esoteric Practitioners Association’s (EPA)* Code of Ethics for all Universal Medicine accredited practitioners, a document that reflects the living integrity of its practitioners to a level of integrity none of my previous educational institutions, both conventional and alternative have ever come close to in their written codes, let alone their living commitment to uphold. It is testament to the integrity of Serge and Universal Medicine that such a code is not something enforced upon the general student body, it is something chosen by the few who choose to practice esoteric healing as a vocation and as a voluntary support guide for those in whom it inspires a call to take more responsibility for their actions in life generally.
It was only after attending Serge’s presentations that I for the first time began to even consider that the rare recreational drugs I took when nightclubbing, the occasional alcohol, or emotional disagreement with my partner may have an impact on my clinical work and beyond. That an unresolved issue that I carried the thoughts of outside the clinic room door, did not disappear once I entered the clinic room and closed the door behind me, no matter how white and neatly pressed my uniform was, nor how professional the setting and congenial my smile.
I have some understanding for those that react and sometimes bolt and lash back at Serge or Universal Medicine, because it can be hard to face the realisations that some of the things we do that we believe are harmless or even socially encouraged as good for us, may in fact be hurting us. I struggled too, I kicked backed too and I bolted too. But I returned, of my own volition, not to ‘join’ a club, a clique, a cult, but to face the truth and deal with that which I had buried, that which I could feel stood in the way of me living something that felt extra-ordinary when compared to what was on offer around me. It is a life of love and joy that arises from the commitment to living in truth, that I have now come to make my ‘normal’.
It is ironic, given the unsubstantiated accusations towards Serge Benhayon and the certified practitioners of Universal Medicine as being anti-conventional medicine, that I stand as a practitioner of Esoteric Healing modalities today, after 7 years of association with Universal Medicine, with a deeper appreciation of what conventional medicine today can offer. Today, numerous clients arrive at the clinic disillusioned, scared and reacting at times to the disease arising in their body and I encourage them to overcome their often vehement rejection of medical care and see it as a necessary part of their healing, an important step in their taking responsibility for their healing choices, given the stage of the condition.
We now have a medicine that extends a person’s responsibility beyond just taking medicine, beyond what food we eat and fluid we drink, to now consider the consequences of every choice we make and how this affects not just our mood, our physical health, or even our motivation for living, but that of everyone around us. For a society that is only just accepting as normal the legislation on non-smoking in public places, it is not surprising there is a backlash against taking responsibility for many more of our tangible and not so tangible choices in support of an honouring of ourselves and our fellow human race. Whether humanity as a whole is ready for this is not the point, some are and Universal Medicine represents the heeding of support for the call from those that are and never imposes on those that call not.

* The EPA (Esoteric Practitioners Association) is the internal accreditation arm of Universal Medicine. It was instigated by Universal Medicine to monitor and accredit the modalities that were founded by Universal Medicine.
The Truth about Serge Benhayon 
I could not agree more with this statement, ‘an unwavering commitment to truth both in public and private life, in the clinic room and with his family, he lives the truth of what he presents, nothing more and nothing less’. Serge Benhayon presents himself the same as he presents himself the day before. In other words he does not falter because of the weather. His life is always about energy first, human second.
We have a lot to learn and yes we can continue searching, like many others. But I know I now feel that settlement I have been yearning for a long time, since Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine came into my life.
Sara I agree we search many modalities thinking that this is it, and we find ourselves realising that we know more when we meet another presenter. I possessed this arrogance, when I first met Serge Benhayon. I thought I would have this additional knowing than him, and as I attended more and more of his presentations, I found that he didn’t impose, he treated everyone equally and made no judgments.
Walking their talk is worth pondering over more than we realise, it makes a large difference to the quality they emanate, which by the way, can actually be felt .
And I agree, we all have a personal responsibility in every choice we make. This ripple effects not just us, but the many we meet, work. live, etc with, so the responsibility is certainly beyond imagination – it has a far reach.
Funny that how we can kick up a stink when we are simply asked to take responsibility for what is originally ours to deal with anyways…I am certainly familiar with this and yet once the responsibility is embraced, then the joy that comes is unparalleled.
That stink is every where. Responsibility is everyone’s responsibility and many reject it as they see it as someone else’s responsibility. An arrogance that sits within many. I much prefer the joy and place the emphasis on that than the paper cut.
There is an arrogance that I too held onto with my yoga practices and my ‘healthy eating’ and how ‘fit’ I was and yet behind the scenes I felt deeply saddened and lost in life and my relationship with myself was not very loving and I struggled in my relationship with my partner. But once I encountered Universal Medicine and began to understand some of the responsibility I had been denying and was begrudgingly beginning to accept, my life began to change and my relationships began to improve dramatically. There was much I held onto that had to be let go of, and like Yoda from Star Wars says – I had to un-learn what I had learned, so that I could embrace a more true life and a life with so much more love. And I feel this process is un-ending in a beautiful way.
I agree Henrietta, we have a tantrum when we have to be responsible for our actions. We get fined for speeding, or loose our licences for drink driving and so forth, but there is a far more depth of harm to living just everyday recklessness, that can’t be fined, and it is about energy. We cannot deny this…
Sara, thank you for your sharing, a sharing I too can relate to in terms of being very anti-conventional medicine prior to encountering Universal Medicine, Serge Benhayon and his teachings. Thankfully with the support of Universal Medicine I too have come to accept and work along side and with conventional medicine and I see how powerful the combination is in offering us a full healing and support in whatever we are going through.
The EPA Code of Ethics and Conduct is a very powerful document, it establishes very clearly what energetic integrity and energetic responsibility are, and how important these are not just for practitioner work, but for being out in life in whatever industry we work in and for living these qualities across our whole day. We often think about responsibility as something we have to do, but energetic integrity and energetic responsibility are actually the natural way of our true being.
I am so fed up with the lies and corruption in our world, I await the day that truth prevails on our planet. One man leads the way with truth, no matter what lies and falsehoods are thrown at him he remains a shining example and inspiration to all of us, ‘It was not human perfection I was looking for but the integrity of truth in living. And for the next 7 years, as I diligently observed for my own peace of mind, this is all I ever witnessed in Serge Benhayon: an unwavering commitment to truth both in public and private life, in the clinic room and with his family, he lives the truth of what he presents, nothing more and nothing less.’
This jumped out at me today
“Along the way I used my considerable drive and willpower on my body”
I witness this every day, everywhere I go, because we are all exhausted by the way we drive our ourselves to get things done and to get through our day we then rely on caffeine and other stimulants to support us to cope. But if we read the health statistic around the world this way of life is actually killing us. So how intelligent are we as a race of human-beings when we are driving ourselves to death? How much worse does out health have to get before we stop and ask some simple questions, such as why are we doing this to ourselves, what is it achieving?
As someone who likewise explored many other areas of life similar to what Sara discussed in this blog, over a period of 20 plus years; I can equally say that no one, or nothing ever felt true, there was always something that I saw through or questioned, even if it took a few weeks in some instances. ‘But most of all, of all the presenters, teachers and false gurus I had listened to, followed, sat with and even taught under, I had yet to meet one that walked their talk; not one who truly lived ‘consistently’ what they presented and this eventually exposed the holes in their presentations and the limitations in their ‘teachings’.’
When we go to the doctor because we don’t feel well we do not consider that actually the doctor is living under exactly the same stresses of life that we are. We do not think that they may have unresolved issues as they sit opposite us in their surgery. We just want them to fix what ever the problem is we have gone in to see them with. How many of us go in and admit that we haven’t been taking care of ourselves and so that is why we are sitting there? And how many of us stop to consider that actually the doctor may be sicker than we are; but they put on a professional countenance to mask how they may be truly feeling.
Coming to understand that everything we put into our body, whether it be food, drink or other substances, every move we make and every word we speak, all have a consequence in our body, brings the responsibility for our life right back into our hands. But this is a responsibility that many are not ready to take up, preferring to hand their health care and quality of life over to another, and in the process missing out on the knowing that this responsibility is actually a joy, a joy when lived, very quickly permeates every aspect of our lives, and the lives of others.
Well said Ingrid – every choice we make has a consequence and we are the ones to live with it.
Since changing my diet and not drinking alcohol anymore my health and vitality have changed big time and this was due to becoming more aware of what these things were doing to my body and the influence they were having on my choices. I wanted to be in direct relationship with myself and others and not have to navigate the altered states and the tiredness that I was having to deal with. I know that we can keep refining what we choose to consume and that goes for music and books, in fact anything we use to entertain ourselves. By being honest with ourselves we know what is supporting us or not and what it is supporting is how much we can be of service – true service – to others. This is our responsibility.
Serge Benhayon’s teachings on energetic integrity and energetic responsibility are the foundations upon which a society free of abuse can be lived.
The only true teacher is the one who walks their talk. Serge Benhayon is definitely that.
Absolutely wholeheartedly agree Elizabeth.
The utter transparency of Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon and his family belies the lies and fabricated stories of those who cannot stomach this level of reflection, no more and no less.
Sara I love this…”Today, numerous clients arrive at the clinic disillusioned, scared and reacting at times to the disease arising in their body and I encourage them to overcome their often vehement rejection of medical care and see it as a necessary part of their healing, an important step in their taking responsibility for their healing choices, given the stage of the condition.”
You don’t always here this from a complementary heath practitioner, but it shows a deep understanding and respect of the person, the body and what healing truly is. It also shows a deep respect for the work of medicine and how it can hold us through our journey of being sick.
Beautiful to read this again Sara, to see your journey from one of the arrogance of knowing it all and being ‘better’ to the humility of realising that we are part of a bigger plan and life is so much more than the temporal day by day existence that so many of us focus in on.
The arrogance of believing we know it all, that our way is the one and only way, is the biggest road block to “realising that we are part of a bigger plan”, and the knowing that our part in the plan is just as important as everyone else’s. Taking off those glasses tinted with arrogance will offer us a whole new way of viewing the world and just may have us stepping into the glory of who we actually are, a glory that is not just for us but for all.
“… to face the truth and deal with that which I had buried, that which I could feel stood in the way of me living something that felt extra-ordinary.” A warm welcome awaits those who are ready to step through Universal Medicine’s doors and embrace all the wisdom, compassion and powerful self helps tools that are laid before us. And for those who are not ready, they can simply walk on by free to make their own decisions based on the quality of life preferred.
The presentations by Serge Benhayon have inspired many practitioners to provide a deeper care for their patients. To dig underneath the surface and truly support healing in their clients. Now, there are thousands of people around the world benefiting from these practices all because of the ripples of Serge Benhayon.
To consider the consequences of our everyday choices is a huge step forward, because it means we have to take responsibility for our very choice.
For me it has always been Serge Benhayon’s “unwavering commitment to truth both in public and private life, in the clinic room and with his family,” that has inspired me deeply. When you observe a man who lives with such integrity, who accepts all as his equal and who does not hold back the truth humanity is desperately looking for, you cannot help but want to know more, even though at times the answers can leave you squirming. But I have found that once the squirming has subsided the truth I have been looking for is right there in front of me along with the choice to say yes to it, or not.
And what a powerful reflection to have from someone – the steadfastness, the humility and the backing of what one knows to be true in a world where so many un-truths are accepted as normal.
Great observations personally and of humanity. We have many of ways of reacting to what we feel is not true in life, whether it is withdrawal or betterment, but to heal is always about our willingness to be honest with ourselves and be open to what feels true and although this will at times be exposing and raw, it gently sets us back on the true path.
“It was not human perfection I was looking for but the integrity of truth in living.” Integrity of truth in living is exactly what we see and experience with Serge Benhayon.
Having worked in complementary health and in nursing and never quite being able to see how they would work together, even though I knew that they could, I can see very clearly the magnificence of the partnership between Esoteric & Conventional Medicine.
Sara, I love your approach of observing whoever might be presenting in front of you to feel if they walk their talk. This is the only true way of checking who is authentic and who is not.
‘We now have a medicine that extends a person’s responsibility beyond just taking medicine, beyond what food we eat and fluid we drink, to now consider the consequences of every choice we make and how this affects not just our mood, our physical health, or even our motivation for living, but that of everyone around us. ‘ A living Medicine that is accessible and empowering for all.
There are so many so called false ‘Guru’s out there in the world that when a true master comes along and exposes the way that we have been living is actually unloving to ourselves and all others it takes a level of honesty within ourselves to accept this as the truth. Some people can feel the truth in their bodies and slowly make the changes to their lives and reap the benefits of the vitality and joy that this brings to them naturally so. And some people do not feel the truth of what is presented and I personally feel it is the ones that don’t want to feel the truth go into resistance because they feel uncomfortable in the exposure of not wanting to take responsibility for their lives. And they will defend their way of life because they see it as under threat. It seems to be part of human nature that when we feel threatened we attack in defense.
I remember you then, fresh off your bicycle and strongly challenging a lot of what Serge Benhayon had to say. Awesome it is, several years later, to see you present and role model to us a way of energetic integrity that comes from a purity of love and compassion and, with the strength, a tenderness and delicateness that was so hidden in the strong hard woman of years ago,
When we encounter something the body feels to the last bone it is true, the foundations of our seeming ‘solidness’ get exposed for what they are. Not a sweet moment and what a sweet moment!
There is a bit of a way between focusing on oneself only to realising every move we make affects the all. The irony is that whilst we focus on our own lives and security without regard to the all we constantly affect we may still in fact be living in disregard and neglect of ourselves. As we build self care and self love into our lives it’s a natural progressive step to then become more aware of and care for the all we are a part of. Taking care of number one and truly taking loving care of ourselves are two very different things, each though having a strong impact on the whole of humanity.
Stunning testimony Sara and this is not the first testimony that I have read from an experienced practitioner that despite the continual training and studying they have done they still felt unable to support their clients completely and that something was missing and through meeting Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine they found the missing link. Personally I too have found the same thing, not from a practitioner side but from someone who knew and could feel we are all missing something very big with regards to general health and wellbeing and well, life. And you are right it is not easy to ‘face the truth and deal with that which we bury’ but it is essential for true healing for how can we be all that we are when we carry or have buried hurts, anger, blame, resentment, frustration, anxiety, misery … the list goes on. It is impossible. Only when we start to truly address this can it then start to clear from the body. Not only this, Serge Benhayon is completely transparent in all he does and absolutely walks his talk, nothing is hidden as there is nothing to hide.
I agree Vicky – it is quite a testament when so many people at the top of their game, and masters in their field, both recognise that that particular modality is not it and can feel the deep, solid and full integrity of everything that Universal Medicine has to offer.
When we realise that everything we choose in our life affects everything around us, we understand the responsibility we carry with our choices. We can embrace this fact or react to it, but nothing changes. What is Truth remains untouched, no matter who speaks or negates it, but living consequently from that truth, bringing integrty to our life, really empowers us and makes the difference. Thanks to Serge Benhayon and everyone who lives in this way for being a living example of that.
I’m glad that you got off your bike that day and had the openess to listen as you have been an inspiration to many with the choices you have made to bring out and live more of you.
I couldn’t agree more!
Sara your blog has reminded me how open, honest and discerning we need to always be regarding what health modalities we use on our body.
The daily medicine Serge Benhayon ‘subscribes’ is how to love ones self so much that we take care of every inch of our body and being, and take responsibility for everything we do – a big dose of Love and Truth – pretty simple really!
An articulate testimony to the work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. I have known Serge Benhayon for over 11 years now (what a blessing) and also absolutely agree that in all of this time I have known him he has ‘an unwavering commitment to truth both in public and private life, in the clinic room and with his family, he lives the truth of what he presents, nothing more and nothing less.’ In fact how he lives continues to blow me away the more I think of it yet he shows us all this is possible, to live with such integrity is not hard .. just taking absolute responsibility in all that we say and do; for when we are truly connected to our innate essence this responsibility is a joy not a burden and something I am still, and will forever be, discovering.
Facing the truth of how we are living can be very challenging but it needs to be done if we are to evolve.
I love your commitment Sara to exploring from the deep honesty of your body and the movements that in turn led you to understand your behaviours and choices and how we can inevitably shift the paradigm of our daily lives by committing to more loving honesty. A very cool blog indeed.
Saying yes to what Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon presents, is to say yes to the honesty and willingness to be responsible and to reconnect and live by the truth known within, and no one becomes a follower of anyone or anything outside themselves.
Thank you Sara, reading this again today what stood out was the example of banning smoking in public and the basic consideration of others rights to not inhale second hand smoke, to then consider the level of responsibility offered by Universal Medicine one can realise that it could stir up a lot for people, especially if the self has been the main focus. In regards to our responsibility to the all, Universal Medicine is miles ahead of what our current laws reflect. Truly though, caring for oneself as part of a greater community is a beautiful way to live. We should not hesitate to leave the selfish “self” behind, the self that enjoys individualism with disregard to the all, because it’s such a narrow and joyless existence compared to brotherhood.
It is a truly wonderful thing to meet someone who has the integrity of a life lived with so much consistency and grace. this is life-changing in itself and there needs be nothing more for inspiration to take place, because that level of constancy, of grace and authority is available to us all, without exception.
I love this far reaching definition of medicine – “We now have a medicine that extends a person’s responsibility beyond just taking medicine, beyond what food we eat and fluid we drink, to now consider the consequences of every choice we make and how this affects not just our mood, our physical health, or even our motivation for living, but that of everyone around us.” This is medicine, as it ought to be practiced.
‘It was not human perfection I was looking for but the integrity of truth in living.’ I had come to a similar place and realised that if `i were to open a Retreat Centre which was what I had intended back in the nineties i would want very high calibre professionals working there…..and as I looked around I did not see any near me that came close to my standards. Of course, at the time I did not consider my partaking of a glass of wine here and there and other actions that I would now deem as disregarding to be a problem although something didn’t feel right. It took me a while to understand the energetics at play and now I still at times go against what I know is true but this is happening less and I am able to have more true integrity myself, an integrity that is deeper than I had thought was possible to live before. Serge Benhayon and his family model a life lived that supersedes the integrity that I had experienced in anyone before and shows that it is possible to live with this unparalleled commitment to truth
Great sharing Sara, that’s the thing we all face that in our constant searching there is always another mountain to climb so to speak, it is never enough and indeed it feeds itself, the search and we are left no wiser but going on to the next thing. And then there is Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine who present something very different, presented without imposition and left for you to discern and feel for yourself, and always with an invitation to know that it’s all in you, and to connect to that and allow it out, to address any hurts that get in the way; and to observe and see someone who absolutely lives this has been the rock and trust which has supported me to look at how I am, how I live and how I can live in a way that is honest, real and true.
Now more then ever we always need to ‘do our homework’ when it comes to what is being said or written in the world. These days anyone can pretty much say anything without any recourse of action. Even as simply as having a conversation about someone you know really well, how readily do we make a judgement before we actually speak to the person about it? No matter how small it is the best course of action is always to understand what is being said to you on a deeper level and listen carefully so we don’t jump to conclusions. Remember the game ‘Chinese whispers’? What started off as one thing very quickly turned into something completely different and when you went back to the source you saw the whole picture of what had happened and usually laugh. This same game is being played out in real life, where one thing is said and another is interrupted and repeated.
Very well said Sara, shared from such deep wisdom and now a living way that you choose to walk in – that served beyond image, to what you have learned for all those years to see and bring. The fact that Universal Medicine offers people to go beyond what their eyes can see, shows me the limitless of truth and so we know when there is limitlessness there is an universality beyond our humanity (dis)order.
Thank you Sara. This is a very profound blog that says it just how it is, straight down the line. Universal Medicine may not be everyone choice at the moment but it is for everyone without ever imposing as it is based on the Ageless Wisdom which is and has always been Universal.
I suppose the difference between all those teachers, false teachers (gurus), presenters and Serge Benhayon as a teacher/presenter is that there are those striving to become something or someone or Serge who is actually just being who we all are equally in truth. His consistent and unwavering integrity is most definitely a choice, but it’s also because he chooses to live the truth of who we all are – love. We might think that integrity involves will power but when we are connected to and living from love everything and everyone is held equally. There is no room for a lack of integrity when love is present. He is definitely the real deal, living and walking his talk. There is no on/off button or show, it’s just who he is and he is reflecting who we all are.
As I read this I feel the huge appreciation for Universal Medicine and all those practitioners like you who have heeded the call for quite literally the call for universal medicine, inspiring those who also feel this call to also bring it forth in all aspects of our lives.
Taking responsibility for our own health and accepting that all our choices both tangible and intangible accumulate is something we should all be aware of.
What I too have witnessed in Serge over the many years I have known him, is that his dedication to living what he presents – to walking the talk, is unparalleled and this inspiration has been huge for me. I began to see the fact that there is only one life – there is no delineation between my home and work, my personal friends and professional relationships – everything is one and something I do in one area (seemingly disconnected from all other areas) is actually having an impact – as you say, my issues, dramas and choices up to the moment I walk into work or meet someone cannot be put down and picked back up – I carry them with me always and therefore my responsibility comes in what I choose to carry.
I love what you share here Sara, yes we all need to step up in responsibility, ‘We now have a medicine that extends a person’s responsibility beyond just taking medicine, beyond what food we eat and fluid we drink, to now consider the consequences of every choice we make and how this affects not just our mood, our physical health, or even our motivation for living, but that of everyone around us.’ Absolutely.
Discovering someone who truly ‘walks their talk’, i.e. Serge Benhayon, was and is a huge blessing not only for myself but in fact for the whole of humanity. As through him he has set a foundation upon which to build trust and love in and for a purpose to life. This is not by relying or following him but his example is a marker to develop trust in oneself to discern truth and to walk one’s own talk.
Wow what a story. Your words powerfully convey how discerning you have been in your search for the truth. Once the truth is found all the lies that came before it are exposed. Yes it’s not for everyone but the answer to every question you have ever had is available to you if you are willing to to be open and accept the truth you already know.
Having been a full-time practicing kinesiology therapist for 15 years and engaged with many other complimentary therapies prior to encountering Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine I completely confirm that the EPA Code of Ethics is without parallel in integrity.
I love that when truth is delivered it is felt in the body…… Here is my truth. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer I resisted medical treatment for 6 weeks as I was in so much anger, confusion, uncertainty and fear. I booked a session with an esoteric practitioner and through that session I calmed down and got to see that in fact I needed medical treatment in order to survive… but the biggest healing came for me when I got honest with myself in how I had been living and took responsibility for all my unloving choices. After this not only did more choices and support became available it was so much easier to ‘make the different choices’.
Beautiful sharing Sara, no matter what title or paper we have so proudly gained, if we are not living the truth within our bodies we are missing the fundamental part of true healing that we can offer.
Another wonderful example of how truth always prevails.
Sara this I am sure is a familiar story for some of us, I can very much relate with what you share here. I had almost given up on finding truth, integrity and love in those who presented, yes they may portray ‘that’ for the world to see when on show, but never was it lived 24/7, to me this mattered a lot. Whereas with Serge Benhayon finally here was someone who had ‘an unwavering commitment to truth both in public and private life, in the clinic room and with his family, he lives the truth of what he presents, nothing more and nothing less.’
It is absolutely has been a great big sigh of finally someone who walks what he talks and lives what he teaches when I met Serge Benhayon. It was only then that I realised how exhausting it is to live in a world where we are saying all kind of things but never stick to the truth of the words and struggling with consistency.
Dear Sara, I wanna thank you for what you have shared here with us of where you have gone through and what you have chosen now to life. Not just in conventional medicine only, but as a person, one of great inspiration and lived experience. To see and feel from what you have written the truth and that you have chosen that truth over all that was not that – even though that meant letting go of certain aspects that might have had your preference (attachments). Great path, great choices to become aware of and claim a deeper responsibility that lays within.
Yes. I agree Danna. Thank you Sara for being the inspiration you are and the love you share.
A commitment to truth does open up deeper levels of understanding, appreciation and so expression of who we are…”It is a life of love and joy that arises from the commitment to living in truth, that I have now come to make my ‘norm”. I can feel whenever I hang on to an old hurt for the sake of saving face or keeping things comfortable, I feel smaller, less expressive and curtailed to some degree, when I am honest, say how I feel, speak my truth I expand, open up and enjoy life so much more. Universal Medicine have been deeply inspiring in this area of self development.
Thank you Sara, it shows us that: we are in our own authority in life when we make choices, and hence we can life by and with an integrity or lack of integrity that comes from our Soul. One of respect, adoration to what we know is truth. Therefore we can choose to stand in power or in the opposite which can be also called force. As the force clearly presents us a push, somewhere to or away from (our essence, our power).
In a world that is pandered to and where irresponsibility is encouraged as a normal (because someone makes a profit out of it, like alcohol or junk food), then hearing the truth that Serge consistently presents will see a lot of reaction because it’s so unusual. The world is very comfort seeking, and it’s very corrupt as a result, so Serge’s presence speaking the truth and allowing people to be uncomfortable in that is sorely needed globally.
‘I had reached a state of physical health and fitness that many admired but never satiated the need for betterment, in fact its pursuit seemed to feed it.’ Such a valid point this is, there are so many things in life we pursue in the search of happiness and yet we never find it or only for a short peak moment to then needing to search again or finding other things to still the yearning deep within. And this is what the teachings of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine bring us, that turning towards ourself and deeply caring for and loving ourself ceases the yearning for more as what we are missing is ourselves and the love that we are and deserve. So it starts with how we are and thus how we are with ourselves that brings us the fullness in life we are craving and nothing in the world is an equal substitute to what we can give ourselves.
Inspiring story Sara, I love this line ” It was not human perfection I was looking for but the integrity of truth in living.” This is what Serge Benhayon lives consistently and inspires others to do the same.
Such a great account of ‘before and after’ Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon. I can relate to when you write ” I had yet to meet one that walked their talk”. The landscape is full of people who peddle this or that modality, technique or craft and once the stories come out of how they truly live behind the scenes and when, supposedly, nobody is looking, the dressed up and polished outer picture quickly disappears.
Serge is the master of One Life, everything being deserving of his full and true quality. Like you say Sara, his commitment to truth is in and around every facet of life. Through my own observations, Serge doesn’t have an on/off switch. This guy doesn’t fall part when he gets off stage and returns to real life or reality. What he presents on stage is reality, is his lived way, and that’s why I, as well as many, have found the tools so powerful.
Conventional Medicine is dearly needed in today’s society as is the complimentary aspect that Universal Medicine brings, and together they have the potential to work wonders.
I agree wholeheartedly Matts. Conventional Medicine simply cannot offer what The Universal Medicine Therapies and approach to living life offers. Likewise the complementary healing modalities of Universal Medicine cannot replace (and does even attempt to) the science skill and know how of conventional medicine. But they are a magnificent partnership and time will show the truth of this.
Fine piece of writing Sara Williams. Aspiring and inspiring. Universal Medicine is a way of living that produces what is felt and expressed exponentially through your words. You are a role model to all women evident by what you have experienced has not worked and the depth to which you live now.
To meet Serge Benhayon and to attend my first workshop presented by him was one of those moments when you know life will never be the same again, and that I was more than ready for. To find someone who was presenting me the answers to so many unanswered questions was the gold at the end of the rainbow I had been searching for, for so very long. Now 12 years on the list of things that I love and appreciate about Serge grows endlessly, but right at the top of the list, probably in equal first position with many other ‘loves” is that fact of his “unwavering commitment to truth both in public and private life”; this is a man who unequivocally and unreservedly, walks his talk in every moment, and with every step inspires so many.
I love reading your clear expression Sara. A wonderful testimony of the way Serge Benhayon presents and lives the truth of The Way of The Livingness and your own journey that is an inspiration too.
Sara, in knowing you for nearly 10 years now it is an absolute joy to see how you continuously unfold to be the loving, open, tender, committed, playful and inspiration woman you are. Likewise with many many other people I know, including myself, from putting into practice what Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine live and present. That is ultimately how we live and is our medicine from choices to movements throughout the day and so much more. There never comes a point where we ‘know it all’ it is a constant learning and unfolding. I deeply appreciate Serge for teaching the truth with regards to energy in a world that is very lost … what he lives, reflects and teaches is very much needed. It is also an absolute joy to see Serge continually evolve, more than 10 years on and Serge Benhayon is still ‘an unwavering commitment to truth both in public and private life, in the clinic room and with his family, he lives the truth of what he presents, nothing more and nothing less.’
This has been true for me as well – since coming to Universal Medicine I have ben embracing conventional medicine for the support and blessings it brings. Together with Esoteric Medicine, the two are unbeatable and the future of mankind, especially in view of the ever escalating illness and disease rates.
I loved reading and feeling this blog. It is clear to me that we all have a choice about how we live. We all have a choice about what we accept into our lives. I feel very blessed that I have Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon in my life. The truth that Serge presents has brought such joy into my life and an enormous clarity which has led to a greater understanding of everyone.
“the integrity of truth in living.” Why is this so rare?! I am so pleased to have been blessed to have met someone who inspired many others to walk their talk.
So well said Sara, there is so much in what you have shared and stated here. There is so much that Serge Benhayon brings, his integrity, responsibility, his love for humanity is amazing, something to be inspired by and learn from his reflection.
This is an epic blog, thank you for sharing your story, I never knew all of that about you. The writing is so engaging, I felt like I was watching a movie!
It is amazing how much we think we can get away with things, that it’s ok to do this or that because no one will see or it won’t affect anyone. But what if it does affect others? What if those little check out moments, or indulgent moments actually affect others? In my experience they do effect others and not just from the obvious. Every time I choose to check out or have something that is counter evolutionary I then offer that energy out to the world and humanity and give more weight to that choice rather than to choosing to evolve. And then with those I see afterwards, what state is my body left in? Am I then fully able to be with them or am I lesser, not fully on and present because of the say the sugar I ate is now affecting my body? Everything is everything and everything has consequences – all my life I have tried my best to avoid consequences but they do catch up with you and it is far better to deal with them at the time than try to suppress them as they only get bigger and more extreme – not as a form of punishment but rather as a form of love – a teaching for us to learn from our choices.
What you present here is what Universal Medicine is all about, living with integrity and love for ourself and humanity. It is a way that supports us to live in a harmonious way, and that we all have the responsibility to choose this as our way, or not.
Universal Medicine offers a life-style that is well described above as ‘the integrity of truth in living’. This is by far the most healthy, fulfilling and sound way of life I have come across. A life style that does not only support the individual to better health and well-being, but supports humanity as a whole in our life together on this planet.
There is nothing more challenging than being prepared to look at and address what we have chosen for ourselves that has harmed us and commit to making loving and responsible choices even when they go against the norm…. yet at the same time there is nothing more rewarding…. When that time is however, is different for everyone and a deeply personal journey that one must choose for themselves.
This is what’s great with Serge and Universal Medicine – they present, no more no less and it’s up to the listener to make a choice. When I say “no more” it’s not actually fully true because they provide you with all the tools you will ever need to turn your life around but the initiating call has to come from you.
“It was not human perfection I was looking for but the integrity of truth in living.”
Such is the path of a true Student of Life, living a medicine that is truly Universal.
Serge Benhayon is truly an inspiration and living walking breathing embodiment of all that truth stands for
I have had some similar experiences over the years with various presenters and a false guru. Serge Benhayon definitely walks his talk in full without anyone being made to feel lesser. He is the total antithesis of any sort of guru status, treating all with ease, grace and equal-ness.
“But most of all, of all the presenters, teachers and false gurus I had listened to, followed, sat with and even taught under, I had yet to meet one that walked their talk; not one who truly lived ‘consistently’ what they presented and this eventually exposed the holes in their presentations and the limitations in their ‘teachings’.”
The power and authority in your words Sara are felt deeply in my body as a solidness, strength and joy. I love the clarity and wisdom you bring and deeply appreciate the glorious and true role model you are for both men and women around the globe. Thank you for your continued dedication and commitment consistently reflected in your living way. You are a great inspiration.
Over the past 8 years of attending presentations by Serge Benhayon, it has been both amazing and challenging. Amazing to feel the truth of his words resonating throughout my body and very challenging having to face my own attachment to ideals and beliefs that supported the irresponsibility in the way I was living with past hurts well buried and thus closing down on my expression. As I continue to work with the seemingly endless pit of ‘buried stuff’ there is a knowingness and re-connection to of an infinite joy, harmony, love, stillness that is the truth of who I am in essence.
“But I returned, of my own volition, not to ‘join’ a club, a clique, a cult, but to face the truth and deal with that which I had buried, that which I could feel stood in the way of me living something that felt extra-ordinary when compared to what was on offer around me”.
This statement is an absolute confirmation of that which I have observed myself over the past few years as to the truth about Serge Benhayon. He readily admits he is not perfect but continues to be committed to serving humanity in the way he consistently lives his life across the board at home, in business and working life with people with an integrity and transparency that is beyond compare.
“It was not human perfection I was looking for but the integrity of truth in living. And for the next 7 years, as I diligently observed for my own peace of mind, this is all I ever witnessed in Serge Benhayon: an unwavering commitment to truth both in public and private life, in the clinic room and with his family, he lives the truth of what he presents, nothing more and nothing less”.
The code of ethics of the Esoteric Practitioner Association is testament to the integrity that Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon present and bring. I haven’t seen anything like it in this world. It calls one into full responsibility in every area of one’s life.
Thank you Sara. I can relate to so much of what you have said here. With the support of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine my understanding of responsibility has changed a lot too and ideas that I have always held and believed in but never lived I am beginning to embrace and embody in my life. This changes everything. It takes an inner strength to do this and this is a strength we build daily as we more and more choose to do what we know is true.
Re-reading this again after some years sits me up in my chair. I have said ‘I am inspired’ so many times, but this is an account by someone who is truly inspired by and has dedicated her life to the very same inspiration breathed forth by God – there is something very solid when the word ‘commitment’ is uttered by these people.
Universal Medicine presents us with the fact that true medicine is the way we live every moment and the quality of being we choose; this is so simple but as you have shared Sara, it can be confronting for many as it requires a level of responsibility and honesty many are not ready to go to and instead rely on comfort to manage hte turmoil in their lives.
The truth always prevails and when we are ready to feel and accept what is true and to live with a greater degree of self responsibility, then the changes in our lives and in those around us are magnificent. Thank you Sara for sharing your story which illustrates this beautifully.
“So why was I interested in this lecture, given I clearly had a certain arrogance about what I thought I knew to be true?”
This is a great question that I could ask myself too as I entered the workshops and courses offered by Serge Benhayon with that same attitude, thinking I had it made and my life was perfect… but for the emptiness I felt inside and the moments of feeling utterly alone whilst surrounded by friends and family that I could not always ignore and distract myself from, which showed me clearly that some aspect was missing from my life. It was only through Serge that I realized this aspect was ME, the connection and relationship with myself and God, my divine source.
‘…it is not surprising there is a backlash against taking responsibility for many more of our tangible and not so tangible choices in support of an honouring of ourselves and our fellow human race.’ True Sara, it is unfortunate, but not surprising that there is resistance to greater responsibility when it is presented.
“We now have a medicine that extends a person’s responsibility beyond just taking medicine, beyond what food we eat and fluid we drink, to now consider the consequences of every choice we make and how this affects not just our mood, our physical health, or even our motivation for living, but that of everyone around us.” A game-changer of a statement Sara, i thank-you for returning to face the truth and consistently standing by the immensity of everything you have observed & felt, indeed this is the missing link, a medicine that empowers each and everyone to a realise our truly magnificent potential.
Sara, I had a similar experience with gurus and presenters, ‘I had yet to meet one that walked their talk; not one who truly lived ‘consistently’ what they presented’. I would listen to gurus or teachers talk about love and discipline and living in a certain way and yet I often felt in their bodies that they were not living what they were teaching – it was very obvious, I remember trying to justify this in my head and make excuses for them, but I was always left feeling like something was not true.
For me this says it all ‘Whether humanity as a whole is ready for this is not the point, some are and Universal Medicine represents the heeding of support for the call from those that are and never imposes on those that call not.’ Every single person has a responsibility of how we live and that how we live is in fact true medicine. Not just with what we eat and drink but how we care for ourselves, our choices, actions and thoughts have equally an affect on others as a direct affect on ourselves. For years I followed the ‘healthy’ path but nothing NOTHING I have found is more practicle, simple and true as what Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine present and live. There is no magic pill and nothing to reach for outside of ourselves, everything we need for the path of our return lays within.
Sara you too are a living reflection of truth,having known you for many years you too have been inspired by Serge and now share that truth too. Thank you for your commitment and amazing reflection.
This has absolutely been the key for me Sarah, “We now have a medicine that extends a person’s responsibility beyond just taking medicine, beyond what food we eat and fluid we drink, to now consider the consequences of every choice we make and how this affects not just our mood, our physical health, or even our motivation for living, but that of everyone around us.” As a result, the body I take to the doctor is ready for an honest conversation and some physical support. I don’t abdicate my healing to them and load them with pressure, I appreciate the support they offer me and take responsibility for my part in my healing process.
The more we take responsibility for the way we live the more inspired other people will also be to take responsibility for their lives. Our whole notion of ‘well being’ and ‘good health’ has steadily declined. Now as long as I can get out of bed and get to work I am seemingly doing ok, even though I may be exhausted, feeling miserable and needed a couple of shots of coffee to get me out of bed!
It’s true, health and wellbeing has lowered its bar but we can certainly show where the bar could be by being that marker, just as we have been given a reflection of that marker in our lives to the point of inspiring us to come back to it ourselves.
“I had reached a state of physical health and fitness that many admired but never satiated the need for betterment, in fact its pursuit seemed to feed it.” I can completely relate to this, it feel like a never ending cycle of need, like a drug, it only gives a glimpse and that glimpse is merely a relief.
Its interesting how we often think we are the ones to ‘have’ it, often feeling better then another. simple truth comes from our livingness- and in this we are all the same.
Majority of humanity deep down feel that they are capable of living a life that holds so so much more than what we currently are or see around us. Yet there are not many people who are willing to do the work and take the responsibility to actually claim and live this. I love this line in the article “face the truth and deal with that which I had buried, that which I could feel stood in the way of me living something that felt extra-ordinary” and it reminds me of how committed and hard working anyone is who connects to and chooses to live the a Teachings of Universal Medicine and the Way of the Livingness.
Stunning Sara, an unwavering stance to the truth that Universal Medicine consistently presents and inspires us all with.
Hi Sara, I love this blog it really says it all. I was particularly amused by your past of . . . ” . . feeling somewhat ‘holier than thou’ on my raw food diet and alienated stance against conventional medical practices and pharmaceuticals.”. . . as this was also me . I too have come a long way with this attitude as now I regularly visit my GP for checkups and anything that needs attention as well as having regular sessions with Esoteric modality Practitioners; all as a part of my ongoing self-care.
Very rarely are you asked to live by a way of conduct in your personal life in order to carry out your day job. Your life outside work is your life – yes? You can be a bank accountant by day and a thief by night. Who is to know? Yet that is not the central tenet of Universal Medicine, which says that all of your life affects all of your life. There is no aspect you can keep to yourself that does not affect the other. You cannot love your wife, and be aggressive at work etc. Thus why the EPA holds such stringent guidelines for its practitioners. If you are going to present a modality based on self care and love, how can you do so if you are not loving and taking care of yourself?
The code of ethics from the Esoteric Practitioner Association (EPA) sets the standards with the highest level of integrity for all practitioners to simply live with a level of responsibility that takes everyone into consideration and not just the self.
Sara,
We can ignore if we like the truth Serge Benhayon presents, however ignoring it never takes away the truth, or the fact that many of us have never lived holding ourselves responsible for how our lives have been. Very real truths that through sharing articles such as this, those that are ready will come across, and just possibly, change their lives.
“We now have a medicine that extends a person’s responsibility beyond just taking medicine, beyond what food we eat and fluid we drink, to now consider the consequences of every choice we make and how this affects not just our mood, our physical health, or even our motivation for living, but that of everyone around us.” Yes, this is every day medicine whether we choose to take it or not. Every move we make either contributes to our well-being and everybody else’s or adds to the dis-ease and illness that we experience. It might be a big pill to swallow to accept this truth of responsibility but in the end it is not so hard as it might look as our bodies will thank us enormously and will guide us back to our natural rhythm they know and abide to.
A most profound statement saying it how it is. For those who are willing to look beneath the ugly rumours, there is a truly inspiring story to tell about Universal Medicine. But in order to see it, you need to be willing to honest – not with others – but with yourself.
Truth is the new normal – bringing a life of love and joy that arises from the commitment to living in truth. Love it.
Could the greatest medicine of all be to empower people by helping us to understand that we are not victims of illness and disease, that it does not randomly strike but is a result of the way we have been and are choosing to live and be with our bodies. It’s the ultimate responsibility and as you say Sara – Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine do not impose this on anyone but only those who make the call to being more aware.
The Livingness of oneself encapsulates every moment, we are kidding ourselves if we think our Livingness can be of different qualities from one room to the next, or with one person to the next. I enjoyed reading your article very much Sara, thank you.
Serge Benhayon has never imposed any way of living on me but he has consistently inspired me to take responsibility for my own choices in the way I live, with others and with myself. He has inspired me to take a deep look at all the ideals and beliefs that I had absorbed and to free myself to feel what is truth.
Sara, l feel in your words how you mastered the arrogance of the spirit in your journey to self discovery and how at first you were wrapped up in yourself but were unravelled to be reborn so to speak to the true you, that was there all along. You just needed the right conditions to take seed and grow in this new way of life that is so much more, for yourself and everyone else. lt’s a humbling yet necessary journey we all must finally take if we are to find true joy and service to humanity.
It all comes down to our choices moment to moment. That I can listen to Serge Benhayon and the amazing wisdom he brings is one of those choices, challenging as that can be. We live in a community that holds the freedom to make choices as something of value. We also respect the choices of others and their freedom to choose.
Sara beautifully expressed, I have had first hand experience of how Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon are pro conventional medicine and how we have a choice to take responsibility for our own health and care. Serge’s commitment to love has never wavered and he is equal with everyone, his truth and love are deeply inspiring, as yours is too.
Truth does not need belief in it to be, it simply is and cannot not be felt. Sure it can be denied, ignored, or suppressed, yet resides just the same. To be shown unparalleled commitment to living in honour of Truth, as we have in Serge Benhayon, is an answer to the call that could not not be asked. I thank God it was.
It is the realisation that no matter what we have striven for, what we have achieved, what we have earned, what crazy aventures we have just been on, none of it really makes sense or brings true contentment, rather a temporary satiation, before the next yearning comes. Once we realise that the yearning will never be fulfilled with anything this world has to offer, we can stop expending all our energy on these distractions. All it takes is to start to understand we have the true joy and contentment waiting inside for us to connect to – seemingly difficult at first as we have to go back through layers of falsness that we loaded upon ourselves.. but once connected to, taking the journey back is worth more than anything in this world.
I agree Annie, All that the world externally offers is so temporary in its delivery of momentary happiness that leaves one often seeking again and again. Unaware of the emptiness that is calling us to look within, I myself have reached externally for numerous ways to dull the pain and discomfort of not loving myself and feeling the connection from within.
Choosing to embrace the healing within that has been inspired and supported by Serge Benhayon and Universal medicine has allowed me to “go back through the layers of falseness that I loaded upon myself” and begin once again to feel the connection with who I am.
I continue to feel the deep support and appreciation Universal Medicine healing modalities offer me on this journey home.
I agree Annie, there’s nothing in the external world that compares to the beauty and joy of what lies within each of us and as long as we seek to find fulfilment from the outside that yearning will never cease.
I too am a practitioner and was a practitioner long before I met anyone who did the therapies from Universal Medicine. I loved giving massages and worked whenever I could, only stopping for a short while to have a baby! I was exhausted, driven and not walking my talk at all. The love and deep care that I have connected to through developing myself as a practitioner of Universal Medicine Therapies is inspiring for practitioners everywhere. To understand there is a responsibility for how we are as practitioners and that how we live does not stop at the door as you say is, if we choose to take full responsibility for ourselves as practitioners, a game changer. There is no way to be a practitioner without developing a relationship with self care and self love. That may mean not working as a practitioner for a bit while you nurture yourself back to full vitality as I did, but I am a much more responsible practitioner as a result. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Universal Medicine has so much integrity in all its work.
I’ve read the code of ethics for the EPA and can I say it is indeed upheld. I recently attended an esoteric massage course and the amount of care to cover and honour a woman’s body appears to me to be unparalleled. An example was creating a towel tent for people to turn over in privacy and dignity. Some may call it unnecessary. However this only highlights the high integrity in all work with which Universal Medicine is involved. Providing a new standard in providing complementary medicine.
Thank you Sara, for sharing how even with all the knowledge you had previous to attending Universal Medicine presentations, you knew that there was more. Perhaps you came with an edge of arrogance, but clearly you were open to learning more about who you were and were prepared to unzip the ‘read’ knowledge suit, and expose yourself for who you truly are, offering everyone around you a reflection that they too do not need to hide behind a suit of armour and equally have so much to offer.
The striving actually holds us back from doing more, the stress and tension in the body while living this way is actually harming us. When we are not striving for perfection and let go, I find the perfection as such appears all around.
Thank you Sara, brilliantly said. Choice is always ours to make – lovingly or not, to feel and have on offer the extraordinary support that Universal Medicine embodies is nothing short of heaven sent.
Thank you for sharing your journey Sara. There is much for us all to learn from what you express, and I admire that you made your own mind up about the truth of Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon when you clearly had studied many forms of healing and experienced a great variety of situations that left you unfulfilled. Even though you say you “bolted” too , as others had ,but you followed your innermost and returned to the truth of The Way of The Livingness.
Sara when you say here ‘ I had reached a state of physical health and fitness that many admired but never satiated the need for betterment, in fact its pursuit seemed to feed it.’ – this stops me in my tracks as it is a very familiar mentality. We can absolutely strive and almost become addicted to the perfect, when in fact it is borne from societies standards of perfection. In pondering perfection, the reality is that it is something we can never ever achieve. And thank goodness for that, as my understanding, since being inspired by Universal Medicine, is that if we were all to reach perfection, then we would have no reason whatsoever to question life as we know it. We would not evolve any further than a level of perfect and therefore never come to the realisation that perhaps we were never meant to be here in the first place, and that we are part of a universe that is far bigger than just the physical.
Wow, your sharing Sara has so much to offer on how arrogant we are about our “normalized” lifestyles and how far away we live from truth. Hilarious how you describe the ‘holier than thou’ arrogance, I can very much relate to it, though not the holier, but this arrogance of having it all sorted out and the hardness that sits with this, the protection and defense.
I love how you describe with the code of ethics from the EPA the quality that has changed, that it “is something chosen by the few who choose to practice esoteric healing as a vocation and as a voluntary support guide for those in whom it inspires a call to take more responsibility for their actions in life generally.” It so beautifully shows that love is responsibility.
Sara I can certainly relate to: “I had yet to meet one that walked their talk; not one who truly lived ‘consistently’ what they presented and this eventually exposed the holes in their presentations and the limitations in their ‘teachings’.” Although I did not dive into the guru or new age world much at all, I did check out one guru properly and a few others glancingly eg. by going to one talk – that was enough for me to know they didn’t have the answers and I wasn’t interested in them! Plus I knew they did not walk their talk in their own lives out of the lecture hall or ashram. And I did check out various new age modalities when I suffered a chronic, debilitating illness that modern medicine was unable to help with – again, they provided no lasting change and I dropped them. The only thing that worked for me up to that point was top-quality nutritional supplementation, which makes scientific sense to me and supports the physical body to do what it knows to do. But beyond the physical, the landscape looked pretty illusory and I was still looking. It’s been Serge Benhayon who’s shone above it all as being the one who does walk his talk with utter integrity in every moment of his life, and he brings that quality to Universal Medicine and also to the Esoteric Practitioner’s Association, now my go-to people for all therapies complementary to my modern medical regime. Although the world hasn’t caught up yet and may not be ready, Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine are indeed pioneering the new way which is the original way, living the Ageless Wisdom.
Stunner article Sara! I relate to how it can be difficult to give up things that are socially acceptable and a ‘good normal thing to do’ but we know is totally bad for us. It is very empowering to have an honest look at life and make choices which work for us, but in the true sense of what is truly good for us.
I can relate to much of what you have shared here Sara.. except for the part where you spent 5 years in Japan at the feet of a guru. While you were doing that I was caught up in my own devices..sex, drugs and gangsta rap. Not once have I ever felt imposed upon by Serge Benhayon and the presentations and workshops of Universal Medicine. My choice to heal came from me and I have found the deepest levels of support from Universal Medicine. I get that healing may not be everyones cup of tea and that’s ok too.
This is beautifully written Sara. For me it takes courage to really face up to taking personal responsibility for our choices in life, and to look at the beliefs that we have carried all our lives as something that may not have been true from the outset. For me Universal Medicine offered steady loving support, but never pandered to me. I was the one to take responsibility, and I was offered the ever expansive truth about life. As a student of Universal Medicine I am always free to work with whatever feels true for me. As you said at the end of your blog, Universal Medicine is there for those that feel the call, and there is no imposition in any way shape or form.
There’s a very powerful lesson in what you’ve written here Sara for anyone who is committed to finding truth in their life.
Your statement ‘I had reached a state of physical health and fitness that many admired but never satiated the need for betterment, in fact its pursuit seemed to feed it.’ demonstrates the insatiable beast that ‘better’ represents. it took me so long to stop trying to better myself, my life, other people …and begin to surrender to a grandness from within that cannot be matched in the outside world.
It has been through the unwavering reflection of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine that I have found that this better lives right here in me!
Absolutely Amanda. It is only when we ignore our responsibility that we get into trouble and thus suffer the consequences.
The presentations by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine are complementary to Medicine. These teachings have never been held separate to, removed from or alternative to conventional medicine. I have personally experienced the support of Conventional Medicine paired with various healing modalities from Universal Medicine which has supported the healing of a major injury that I received from a Car accident a few years ago.
I can remember the dread I had when I began to realise the enormity of the level of responsibility that was possible and then to look back at the irresponsibility of my past non choices that are choices whether I like it or not.
The awesome thing I discovered is that by taking responsibility for my choices, and this is in very small steps, my level of joy in my day to day living increases. So responsibility is not the heavy burden that it’s portrayed to be but an amazing way to a lightness of being.
Well said Sara. I was particularly struck by this “Whether humanity as a whole is ready for this is not the point, some are and Universal Medicine represents the heeding of support for the call from those that are and never imposes on those that call not.” The support was there for me when I asked and it is a simple support to be there for others when they are.
Sara your personal account is a powerful testimonial to why Serge Benahyon, his family and Universal Medicine are successful. Serge walks his talk and is a living testament of what is possible.
It is true, Serge Benhayon and his entire family walk their talk in truth, and they are all living testaments to life being lived with love, grace and simplicity.
A very well expressed article covering the facts about Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. I especially liked the comment that Universal Medicine is their for people who are ready to take responsibility for their life and not imposing on people who arent.
“We now have a medicine that extends a person’s responsibility beyond just taking medicine, beyond what food we eat and fluid we drink, to now consider the consequences of every choice we make and how this affects not just our mood, our physical health, or even our motivation for living”
ohh thats deep “our very motivation for living”
That hits home for me.
The level of real humbleness and disarming truthfulness in this blog is deeply inspiring and very refreshing, thank you Sara.
Thank you Sara and Helen, absolutely true, every aspect brings a high level of truth. Hear! Hear!
Well said Sara, there is a level of personal responsibility that is a part of the Universal Medicine presentations that relates to our every choice, and an upholding of integrity that I have never seen before in any organisation – or government. I feel the expectations of society in their personal responsibility is very low, your line about people reacting to not being able to smoke in public places highlights this. I have to wonder, if we didn’t have laws, how much would people try to get away with because all they cared about was themselves? As a society I feel we are too focused on self, what Serge Benhayon has taught me is that my choices affect everyone and my every choice can be for everyone equally. A foundation of the integrity that Universal Medicine offers could completely transform for the better our society and its many social and other problems.
Its so true, before coming across Universal medicine I never met anyone who lived what they taught consistently and in all areas of their life, and yet at the same time totally accept all of humanity and truly allow everyone on to make their own choices no matter what they are. This kind of loving way is stunning to encounter.
“We now have a medicine that extends a person’s responsibility beyond just taking medicine, beyond what food we eat and fluid we drink, to now consider the consequences of every choice we make and how this affects not just our mood, our physical health, or even our motivation for living, but that of everyone around us”. This is a great definition of what Universal Medicine stands for and offers. As you say, Sara, it is there to support those who choose and does not impose upon those who do not.
Awesome Sarah a declaration of Truth signed and delivered. Living Truth is the best.!
I aspire now myself to be at least as Honest as I am when I’m in something, if not Truth-full about it to be able to discard it. Living my feelings and expressing my Truth creates for me a way of life where there is more that can be lived each day. My day is not boring.. There are more feelings to feel, and more Truth to unravel even though your day is the similar to the last. Your dreams become a reality. That ultimate feeling of truth comes from you with no effort and no point to reach – just truth.
What a brilliant article this is.
So thorough in its description. So spot on!
Thank you Sara, you inspire me to read it over and again. You and your words are living proof and testimony to what Serge truly offers to humanity.
It is powerfully clear from your words the immeasurable and profound impact that Serge and Universal Medicine has had in your life.
Awesomely written Sarah, I felt very held by your livingness as I read this blog, and this is the true strength that comes from all you have presented here – the actual living of the work presented by Universal Medicine and not the knowledge taken to be something that we can “use”. Along with enormous support received from all esoteric practitioners trained by Serge Benhayon, introducing conventional medicine back into my life after studying with Universal Medicine has also assisted me along my path to great health and vitality.
Thankyou Sara for sharing your experience in such a simple, succinct and honest way. It is inspiring to read and to know that because of their own choices many are reaping the benefits of what Universal Medicine has been presenting.
Sara I love your honesty, to be able to look at your life and see that even though you were highly trained in Shiatsu and other alternative modalities that when presented with the truth through Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon there was something here you could not ignore. You struggled, kicked back and bolted, but in the end the truth was too strong for you to ignore. To be willing to walk away from everything you had become and start again is testament to the amazing practitioner you are today.
Hi Sara, it’s amazing to find another blog by such an experienced practitioner of alternative medicine and a surprise that there are so few comments.
That you trained and practiced Shiatsu for thirteen years and then turned to Universal Medicine is indeed a mighty testament to the integrity of Serge Benhayon and the Esoteric Practitioners Association’s. I like your simple words and your clear writing, Thank you.
Beautifully said Sara, Serge Benhayon is a living example of someone deeply dedicated to truth and love for all not just himself and this I find is eternally inspiring.
Great example Sara of just how complementary Universal Medicine is to conventional medicine. That someone such as yourself, who was firmly anti-conventional medicine, has now reversed this position and can now embrace conventional medicine as a result of the inspiration of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, is amazing.
Beautifully expressed Sara. What Universal Medicine presents and their healing modalities are truly complementary to Conventional Medicine. Conventional Medicine in this day and age is an essential component to the healing process for the human body for any illness or disease and if any alternative therapy tells you otherwise they are not being honest or truly supporting the human body.
Sara, having known you, Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine for over 6 years now, I can certainly attest to the absolute love, integrity and dedication that is present in every interaction. This way of life is certainly not imposing but simply exposes the gap where responsibility has been lacking – and something I have been deeply inspired by.
The integrity of truth as lived by Serge Benhayon has also inspired me to fully commit to take responsibility of my life,I no longer live my life as victim of abuse identifying with struggle and pain but can truly say there is much joy, and love in my own body which i cherish and share with others. Thank you Sara, you too are a such an inspiration to others.
Dear Sara, you write with such clarity and power that is truly inspiring. Like you, the example of the way that Serge Benhayon integrates all the aspects of his life into a ‘livingness’ is awesome and inspires many to connect to the path of their own unfolding.
It is divine Sara how Serge’s level of commitment and integrity inspires others. Throughout your words I could feel and appreciate your own continual choice to return to truth.
“We now have a medicine that extends a person’s responsibility beyond just taking medicine, beyond what food we eat and fluid we drink, to now consider the consequences of every choice we make and how this affects not just our mood, our physical health, or even our motivation for living, but that of everyone around us.” – Universal Medicine encompasses everyone, it is unifying and all inclusive.
Thank you fiona55 for pointing out the beautiful consequences of taking responsibility, not just taking medicine or what we eat and drink, but to feel and be aware of every choice we make and how this affects not only our mood, our physical health but even our motivation for living but also the mood, physical health and motivation for living for everyone around us. “Universal Medicine encompasses everyone, it is unifying and all inclusive”.
Sara, I too loved how clearly you have presented that Universal Medicine provides support for those of us in society who are ready and choosing to take responsibility, without imposing on those who are not!
Beautiful Article Sara. Why do we fight the truth when we know what we are being presented with resonates inside us? I know I did, it was because I knew that I had to make a change and that I had been invested in creating a life that was just starting to work out for me but never fulfilled me, it was in fact such a relief to let go of a lot of things I thought were me but were not me at all!
I have no previous relation with anything like alternative health modalities, nor interest on these matters. Yet, there are some interesting parallelisms: the “healthy scepticism”; the fact that “I sat there as a University educated, self-confessed logical thinker, sensibly questioning and intelligent person” and the fact that I kept returning for my own volition. Unlike you, I was not looking for “integrity of truth in living”. This was off my radar. But, I found it in Serge Benhayon. At the beginning I thought that Serge lived in a different planet. Over time, I have realised that it was me who lived in a different planet, not him.
I have a similar story too Emfeldman. I was not looking for “integrity of truth in living,” just something to fix my angst. However I did find integrity and truth in Serge Benhayon. His workshops presented the fact that I already know truth and that the answers I was looking for were already within me.
I love what you both bring here,” integrity of truth in living” is a big ask when what you really want is your angst or your chronic pain to go away. What you find in Universal Medicine is not a plaster, relief or a cover up but an introduction to a way of living. A way of living that has, at its foundation integrity and truth and the role model for walking his talk is Serge Benhayon. Sara has applied those principles to her own way of living without copying and is a wonderful role model for us all.
Your words are so eloquent Sara and this blog is so rich with inspiration! For me today your words about the EPA Code of Ethics stood out: “…it is something chosen by the few who choose to practice esoteric healing as a vocation and as a voluntary support guide for those in whom it inspires a call to take more responsibility for their actions in life generally.”
I can so deeply feel your immense love for humanity and the understanding for people and their behaviour that you have because of that.
Beautiful to read Sara, sometimes it seems like we cannot really fathom the fact that we have the power to heal naturally.
And you reflect this unimposing, yet unwaveringly committed way to walk your Love and Truth for Humanity, Sarah. It’s such a beautiful experience, to see Serge Benhayon inspire one after the other to be who they truly are.
What a powerful sharing Sara, to read your personal journey from your ‘holier than thou’ arrogance to love is deeply inspiring.
“It is a life of love and joy that arises from the commitment to living in truth, that I have now come to make my ‘normal’.” Beautifully expressed and appreciated.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this article, your deep appreciation and respect for Universal Medicine and what they have offered you was clearly felt and mirrors how I too feel for them and everything they represent. Your last line just beautifully sums up the foundation on which they stand, unequivocally so. Thank you for your gorgeous and powerful expression.
Powerful writing Sara, I was struck by your words that described how you returned, “not to a cult” but to “face the truth”. Universal Medicine can for sure help us see some challenging behaviours we have not addressed and I can also understand why some people would not like what is presented. What I have found is that within the difficulties encountered it is so worthwhile to address problems that before I might have buried by living a life full of distractions. As you say there is a medicine available now that allows us to recognise the power in all the choices we make, taking healthcare beyond the obvious model we know.
It’s interesting to ponder on one of the points you mentioned about Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine being anti-conventional medicine. The thing that I find interesting here is how many practitioners of various moralities including medicine and nursing have, through their contact with Universal Medicine fully embraced their roles. I know I have. How can someone be doing everything possible to leave nursing, even establishing a business to then within a short period of time, re-embracing nursing practice to only work in nursing? I know I am not the only one. I have never known any other complementary health organisation to support and then build a true relationship between complementary and conventional approaches.
I agree Jennifer and I have known quite a few medical professionals who were ready to walk away from the profession, burnt out and disillusioned till then learnt the importance of true self care which included an energetic aspect as well as a physical. You absolutely cannot do one without first paying attention to the other. Energy first every time.
It is very interesting to read of the journey you have taken, to unveil the amazing women you are today. Sara, you are a true role model….thank you.
Thank you for sharing the truth about Serge Benhayon, Sara. To say that Serge Benhayon is anything but pro-medicine is an easy lie to expose. Serge is on record and encourages all (as you and many others have shared) to have any necessary medical treatment when required, and to also take responsibility for our ailments and choices – that healing cannot truly occur unless you address both the illness and the cause. Not only does he teach this but he does the same in his own life.
I love this part “Universal Medicine represents the heeding of support for the call from those that are and never imposes on those that call not.” The truth is that Universal Medicine offers something unique that nobody else offers. Instead of trying to shut them down for offering something different, we should be celebrating the fact, that they’re willing to stand up and bring something different.
This bit…”For a society that is only just accepting as normal the legislation on non-smoking in public places, it is not surprising there is a backlash against taking responsibility for many more of our tangible and not so tangible choices in support of an honouring of ourselves and our fellow human race. “… says it very clearly. It can be quite overwhelming to accept that the way we live that seems innocent could actually be hurting ourselves and others. I have found taking responsibility for my way of being to be very challenging, but I am often reminded that if it is done with love, it actually feels very natural.
Yes Jinya, another great point that Sara made. we are only just taking responsibility for accepting as normal, non-smoking in public places. What will be next, non-drinking. No wonder some people are feeling nervous.
Hear, hear Sara as to the unwavering truth and integrity that Serge Benhayon lives and stands for, consistently and absolutely so. I have known Serge for nearly 14 years now, and can most surely attest to the same – having also first attended sessions and workshops with him, with a strong ‘radar’ for someone who didn’t walk their talk. In all this time, I’ve never seen an inconsistency, never seen a trait that would lead me to doubt the fact that this man not only presents pure gold in terms of relatable wisdom for living for us all, but that he can do so because he indeed lives every bit of it himself.
What I have learnt from Serge, and I share this unreservedly, for I have witnessed this in no other to this degree, is that true and unwavering commitment to a loving way of life that is founded upon service to humanity (the real thing), IS actually possible. This man is the living, breathing exemplifier of such a way.
Knowing him, has sparked my own path and dedication to live such a way also – a life of purpose and meaning, as I can feel in every word of your blog here Sara. Countless numbers of people, so deeply inspired… this is nothing short of being truly miraculous, in a world seemingly so given up to living with full integrity and dedication to purpose, in a world so driven by self, i.e. ‘looking after one’s own patch’, first and foremost.
Yes – living a loving, purposeful life is something that we all actually want, but also takes an incredible amount of commitment. Serge Benhayon has been a great role model in that regard.
As Serge Benhayon you are a true role model when it comes to walking the talk. The love and consistency you reflect is a great inspiration.
Beautiful said Katinka and I agree in full.
Reading your blog Sara I can feel your love and your absolute commitment to truth.
Faced with the absolutely unavoidable truth that every single intention, thought and action of mine has an effect on all of life (and vice versa) has been an incredible two-fold experience for me. On the one hand it presented a daunting level of self-responsibility that I might do anything to avoid accepting and yet at the same time the energetic responsibility for my entire life affording me the ultimate freedom. True freedom is so precious and I am eternally grateful to Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and the Esoteric Practitioners Association for exactly as Sara says – an unparalleled commitment to truth.
This needs to be on the front page of a news paper!! A wonderful account of someone who had built up a life that the world would look to and say…..yes! – Successful ambitious, healthy, driven, contributing to the community, both business and for people. Yet you could feel that this wasn’t true – which so many people feel, but do not know why or how to make it different. Just lovely sharing, thank you Sara.
It’s great to read this blog because I can feel the absolute sincerity of your search for a way of living that has an absolute commitment to truly serving people. By sharing your story we get an opportunity to see how and why Serge Benhayon has delivered that – and I know from my own personal experience over the last 10 years that he is consistent, unwavering and very very loving. It is these qualities that have built up an integrity and trust for another human being that I have never experienced before, and has allowed me to learn so much about myself and in particular the service that I too can offer in my work.
Having come to the work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine through Sara Williams, I can say that Sara also lives an unparalleled commitment to Truth. I have watched Sara in personal healing sessions and outside of them be the same committed, deeply loving and compassionate woman. Both Serge Benhayon and Sara Williams now stand as living inspirations for me of who we can be when we let down our guard, let people in and let our Love out.
When I first met Serge Benhayon, I felt everything he said was not only true, but which I already knew deep within, but had not yet integrated into my life as such and so I kept going back. At the same time I stopped searching and seeking for answers outside of myself, that was no longer necessary. My huge fear around western medicine, in particular the treatment (and all the drugs needed) to treat breast cancer, meant that I did not want to (and initially resisted) have treatment when diagnosed with breast cancer. With much support from Serge, I was able to see that actually I needed western medicine and that was the first step in me taking responsibility for my life. The combination of both western and esoteric medicine gave me an entirely different experience of my breast cancer journey than I had expected or firstly imagined, and was such a positive experience that I literally sailed through my treatment. So much gratitude to Serge and all the esoteric practitioners, a heart-felt thank you.
The simplicity and clarity in this article explains precisely why some may find it difficult to accept the teachings of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. I know I was very sceptical but I could not deny what I felt.
It seems that your commitment to truth is quite unparalleled also Sara. According to this piece of writing, you did not let your previous experiences block your vision of what was presented by Serge and by Universal Medicine. The truth in it, as uncomfortable and clashing with previous ideals and beliefs as it may be, is what you and many others are committed to. And I appreciate your understanding and not imposing on the ones that do not choose that path.
“It was not human perfection I was looking for but the integrity of truth in living” – this is exactly what I too was looking for Sara, when I sat and listened to my first Serge Benhayon presentation. The authentic life I wanted to live and had been endeavouring to bring to my family seemed constantly thwarted. and I felt almost resigned to the exhausting struggle of it all until I realised it was my own arrogance getting in the way…..and it was Serge who confirmed what I’d always felt to be true; that it is possible to live naturally and joyfully, and most essentially for me – harmoniously, with all of humanity. There is a way to live that actually brings that to us if only we start with ourselves first. Serge raised the bar for me, which I had thought I had achieved in my own life, and that it was everyone else who had to catch up….Wow, how wrong can one be? Especially when energetic integrity is the benchmark for true authenticity, self-responsibility comes in and I had a lot of work to do! No more waiting for everyone else, they were waiting for me!
Sara, this is amazing, absolute truth through and through, there’s no room for one ounce of doubt or questioning. Thank you
Thank you Sara for such an amazing truly beautiful sharing of the Truth about Serge Benhayon,and your blog and your experiences. The moment I met Serge Benhayon was the first time I heard what I knew inside rather than what I was told to believe. It is truly inspirational and my life has changed ever since with this absolute responsibility ,love ,joy ,commitment, and integrity consistently presented.
Thank you Sara
I love your no nonsense direct approach to what many people find hard to do – to take full responsibility for their choices in life. And as you say to watch Serge Benhayon live and breath integrity is an absolute joy as nobody I have ever met has lived that alignment of all they say and do – it is truly inspirational.
Great points here Sara. I can also understand why there would be reaction and even attack of what Serge Benhayon presents and represents. He could have been a lot more popular and could have made a lot more money if he stuck to presenting what people mostly want to hear. But that would not change or challenge anything. So he has never done this and has always presented the possibility of truth and that maybe just maybe we are all living far away from our natural state of being. Bravo I say to him and Universal Medicine to have the guts to call it and say it how it really is.
Beautiful and clear blog, Sara. I especially love what you write at the end:
“We now have a medicine that extends a person’s responsibility beyond just taking medicine, beyond what food we eat and fluid we drink, to now consider the consequences of every choice we make and how this affects not just our mood, our physical health, or even our motivation for living, but that of everyone around us.’
I agree with you: every choice I make has an effect on myself (my body, my thoughts ect.) and also on everybody around me. A big responsibility, great to have awareness on and to have living examples like Serge Benhayon and yourself who are walking the talk.
This is a great article Sara, I can so relate to what you say. I too, had an arrogance when I first came into contact with Universal Medicine. I thought I knew my Truth. Roll on 4 years…how my life has changed. It is a work in progress for me and what you present there is a way to Live that can Truly support our body and well being.
This article is the perfect antidote to all the falsehoods and half truths about what Universal Medicine is representing. This piece is written by someone who you can clearly feel is living what she expresses and this is something to behold in these hectic, runaway times.
It is great to hear a true experience of what it’s like to meet Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. Some things I found hard to hear initially, but I only have to look at the difference in myself and my life over the past 7 years to know that what he presents is well worth listening to.
Truly inspiring. Thank you, Sara.
Sara, what a beautiful blog – I love how you describe your journey to another level of commitment to yourself and to life and having known you for part of that journey, it’s been a real joy to see and feel the changes which are possible when you truly choose them. Thank you for your continual inspiration.
Beautiful.
This is such a great blog Sara. I relate so much to what you have shared here. I dismissed conventional medicine and trained in a few different alternative therapies only to find that those who were held up to be ‘leading light’s’ in their field lacking in any true responsibility and integrity. Serge Benhayon lives what he shares and I have been inspired consistently over the years with his commitment to living truth. This is such a rare quality and one it seems that many find hard to accept and are threatened by.
You write this with a lived integrity Sara – and reveal the buried importance of medicine being about what choices we make.
The question is – are people ready for more truth in their lives. The choice is our own.
Beautifully written Sara, thank you.
I love the title of this article and how you arrived looking for ‘integrity of truth in living’ which Serge undoubtedly has and demonstrates in the way he chooses to live his life every single day without exception.
That this can be confronting and challenging when we realise that every single choice we make has the potential to harm or heal is understandable but Universal Medicine is offering the opportunity to live differently for those that are ready and does not impose on those that are not. Thank you Sara for expressing this so well and for being such a huge inspiration.
“Of all the presenters, teachers and false gurus I had listened to, followed, sat with and even taught under, I had yet to meet one that walked their talk; not one who truly lived ‘consistently’ what they presented and this eventually exposed the holes in their presentations and the limitations in their ‘teachings’. I too experienced this with over 20 years of spiritual seeking, but continually became disappointed with the inconsistency of the “teachers”. In stark contrast when attending Serge Benhayon’s presentations, I found answers to many questions that resonated with me as truth, and over time have come to witness the amazing consistency of love and truth that he and his family live by.
Thank you Sara, there is very little to add other than the reason Serge Benhayon makes sense is because he lives EVERYTHING he presents. Even though this can be challenging at times, it is why I return. There is a consistent consistency and a love that is there for All, never is anything presented in isolation of another. It has been with the support of Universal Medicine and its practitioners, including Sara Williams, that I have been able to return to and fully embrace western medicine in the treatment of breast cancer. I now would not consider using Esoteric or western medicine without the other. However I have come to learn through the presentations the most valuable medicine I give myself is the choice I make in how I live everyday.
Wow Sara, that’s amazing. Thank you. I met Serge for the first time in November; and having nervously queued to see this amazing man with sparkling eyes and the widest and sincerest of smiles, he gently released me from 32 years of self-imposed guilt! He is the embodiment of integrity and this is reflected through everyone whom I have met through Universal Medicine.
Fully agree with everything you say here, Sara… When I was in Byron Bay on my detox, half the practitioners I was seeing were hungover or on a comedown from the night before… Absolutely not walking the talk. It’s so insincere and clearly codswallop!! What Serge says he does himself – it’s mostly not prescriptive either just to do what you feel to do…. I wish the EPA wrote standards for all companies, that would be so great for humanity!!!
I love how within this example it is so evident that Serge Benhayon does not demand a following or that you adhere to a sterilised set of ideals and beliefs…having met Serge Benhayon also, and having been sceptical, it has been amazing to bear witness to how utterly accommodating the man is on the basis that his entire being is dedicated to all of humanity rather than “something”. His “something” is a commitment to the “everything”. There is no escaping the love and awesomeness that is felt when at a Universal Medicine presentation…it in itself makes you want to go back again and again.
What Serge Benhayon presents has pushed many of my buttons over the past 4 years, and the truth that is presented to me is still at times ignored. Yet I know, and still hang around, because I know that what is presented makes sense to me. There is very little in the world around me outside of what Universal Medicine has presented that makes as much sense as they do.
Thank you Sara, you’ve made it so clear about how when we think we have reached the top of a ladder in one profession and then realise that there is a great emptiness about it, searching for more of the same thing will not fill that hole. Many go from profession to profession and way of life in this way,as I did too, but few have had the opportunity as yet to meet Serge Benhayon and observe and feel a man who is living, walking, and teaching the truth of taking full responsibility for every choice we make that brings a freedom we may have never experienced before. My eyes and heart have been opened, and I am understanding how my whole way of living can change in a way I never even imagined before, and you have confirmed it in your article very clearly.
Brilliant blog Sara. I find it hard to believe that the incredible, surrendered, joyful, playful and graceful woman I know today used to identify with such a protective shell – your transformation is absolutely inspiring. Thank you for sharing how you learnt that to commit to being a practitioner, is to commit full time in all aspects of life, not just in the treatment room.
Sara, your article is truly inspirational. I can just imagine you arriving at your first
Universal Medicine encounter with your honed torso and even more honed arguments,
possibly humming the song “we won’t get fooled again”, and just being swept away
by Serge’s integrity, honesty and simplicity!
Thank you Sara for presenting your appreciation of the true strength of Universal Medicine. The fact that it never imposes on anyone, but will always be there when people feel the call.
Beautiful Sara, I am in total agreement with what you have presented about Serge Benhayon. My engagement with Universal Medicine has also brought about a huge appreciation for Western Medicine, where before I totally disregarded its value to society. It can be tough facing the true consequence of all our issues, but as you so correctly say, Universal Medicine doors are open to everyone who is ready to face their choices, ask questions and go to the next level of responsibility and integrity. The presentations and workshops are delivered by a man who is not simply presenting a theory, but is really living the teachings in all areas of his life, consistently so every day. It is so refreshing and inspiring to meet someone who walks first, talks second and offers us a way forward based on a tried, tested and proven philosophy.
Hi Sara, I love the way you have described that there is a whole other possible level of commitment to life, beyond ticking the boxes. Thank you, it is very inspiring to read.
Serge Benhayon always presents the truth, and never needs us to agree or follow. It is confronting to have to admit that we are responsible for all that happens in our lives. It often takes a while to digest this, but if we take the time to do so, it can’t be denied.
Thank you Sara for such a clear and objective presentation of the integrity of Serge Benhayon. Like you I too attended my first presentation by Serge with a ‘holier than thou’ attitude having been a practicing kinesiologist for 15 years. And like you it was, and is, the fact that Serge ‘walks his talk’ with such integrity that kept me questioning and listening to what he practices and presented that lead me to renounce kinesiology and to practice an Esoteric way of living.
Your commitment to the livingness is an inspiration, gorgeous blog thank you Sara.
This article highlights how Universal Medicine appreciates conventional medicine and how the best outcome for the client is that everyone works together. I have experienced the absolute care and support of medical staff within our health care system when I became gravely ill. I then found Universal Medicine and their absolute love and dedication in supporting me to understand my responsibility with my illness. Taking responsibility is absolutely necessary in the healing process and I am forever grateful that I have learnt to be honest about my own level of responsibility.
What an extraordinarily wonderful article.
Truly beautiful words Sara.
As Sara has said, Serge teaches self love, the heart of which is honesty and taking responsibility for our own choices… This is a beautiful, simple and empowering message. There is no one else to ‘look to’ but yourself. Thank you, Serge for your unwavering integrity.
Sara, your words are an inspiration. I too felt the jar of having what I felt was true, challenged, when I first attending Universal Medicine presentations and workshops. I too had subscribed to and trained in a range of alternative modalities (Accredited, Health Fund approved).
Each time I intellectually tested, prodded, poked what was being presented by Universal Medicine the consistency, steadiness and simplicity of what I saw, heard, felt and ultimately needed to test for myself was compelling and remains a constant source of inspiration.
It was remarkable that although I attended with the mind-set “ok I have studied this stuff before and I know it already, but I’ll give you a go in case you have anything interesting to add” – that I found the same as with both of you, Joel and Sara. I noticed that there was a consistency and steadiness in Serge Benhayon. His love, care, openness, wisdom and integrity in every interaction with myself and with everyone else has been truly inspiring. It is a joy to see hundreds of people be inspired by this level of love and care, and choose to build this same quality in their own lives.
Agreed Golnaz, there is a consistency and steadiness in Serge Benhayon. For me it is always his loving guidance, caring about and knowing each and every one of us. Through Universal Medicine I learned to live again. As Sara says, it is not easy confronting and releasing harmful patterns and habits but once you do, there’s no going back.
Thank you Sara for these words. This here is an open and expressed personal example of truth which only substantiates ‘An Unparalleled Commitment to Truth’ as inspired by Serge and Universal Medicine, and reverses the false and nonsensical allegations and accusations concerning Serge in the recent press. What I find clear about Serge having known him now for 6 years, is the sheer integrity, ethics, code of conduct and absolute quality under which he operates both personally and professionally.
Refreshing to read, this is an amazing example for us in which to be further encouraged.
I have known Serge Benhayon for 8 years and have been to many Universal Medicine presentations over the years. Serge is a man who lives the absoluteness of what he presents with an amazing consistency. I agree with and can relate to so much of what you have written Sara.
Thank you Sara Williams – for the clarity in which you stand. Inspiring on every level. I have come to know Serge Benhayon as an acquaintance through my profession and have been following the development of Universal Medicine over the years. I have always been treated with the highest respect and courtesy and have not once seen anything that would indicate a ‘cult movement’. I am actually very suss’ about the allegations made in the press. Just doesn’t add up at all with what I have come to know.
Awesome words of Truth Sara. I agree wholeheartedly with your article. Taking responsibility for our irresponsibility is not always easy, I know that, but it is the key to true wellbeing, health, vitality and true freedom. Serge is unwavering in his commitment to Truth and Love and is an inspiration.
“Taking responsibility for our irresponsibility is not always easy, I know that, but it is the key to true wellbeing, health, vitality and true freedom.”
I love the fact that you have included “true freedom” here, because so often there is the false assumption that running around doing as we please without considering our responsibility in how our choices impact everyone is ‘freedom’, I certainly used to consider that to be true.
Yet the level of freedom and empowerment I have felt whenever I have embraced taking responsibility after being irresponsible about an issue, has shown me that what I used to consider freedom and power was a mere shadow of the real thing.
Thank for you sharing Eunice and Golnaz – I agree that it is key ‘taking responsibility for our irresponsibility’, even though it may at first seem hard and difficult as it brings up a lot to look at it is most definitely worth it. The ‘true freedom’ as you highlight Golnaz is also something responsibilty brings which is extremely empowering.
Agreed Eunice and well said, taking responsibility is not easy, but it is most definitely the key to true wellbeing, health and vitality which in truth everyone is can crave for.
Awesome.
Absolutely, humanity has a great need to read this article, every word of it rings with truth, love and joy.
