Serge Benhayon: ‘The Truths he Spoke of Felt to me Absolute’

by LM, Canada

Over four years ago a great friend introduced me to Serge Benhayon and his audio presentations. After listening to many of them I made the choice to go to a workshop and meet this person for myself. The truths he spoke of felt to me to be absolute.

My life has changed in many wonderful ways since – in that I have made the choice to be totally aware of what I put in my mouth so I know what bloats me, what causes me to feel very heavy, and what makes me very tired – therefore, I am taking much better care of my body and being responsible for me and my feelings. 

Since making the choice for myself to not eat gluten / wheat and sugars, I am feeling healthier than I have ever felt.  At a very young age I decided not to drink milk or eat dairy because I found that when I did it affected my lungs very deeply, leaving me feeling asthmatic.

My awareness of my body’s functions is becoming amazingly sharp, I pay attention to me for me, and I feel more alive because of this.

Thanks to my choice to attend workshops and presentations by Serge Benhayon, I am making changes that reflect the true love that Serge and Universal Medicine stand for – for all equally.

  1. Feeling sharp and clear is the most amazing feeling and now a foundation in my life. I sometimes make choices which take me away from this feeling but I always come back to it because nothing else can compare to this feeling of being alive.

  2. I love reading this blog because it reminds me of how much I have changed since attending workshops and presentations by Serge Benhayon. Some people don’t like these changes because they do not think it normal to not drink alcohol, eat bread and chips, drink coffee or fizzy drinks and go out partying and be as careless as I used to be. For me I feel so much more vital and healthy and am also so much more accepting not only of myself but of others too. I have become more deeply caring and loving. This is a work in progress as I have often been under attack and sometimes not known how to respond to the lies and allegations that have been directed my way. I am gradually feeling stronger within myself and living from that place of inner knowing.

  3. The simplicity of listening and caring for our body is also an absolute and powerful foundation for living the truth of who we truly are.

  4. I love the word absolute and it fits Serge Benhayon and what he presents very well. Where there is truth there can only be absoluteness.

  5. And this is my most favourite quality about Truth: absoluteness – an unreserved holding of the All, for all equally.

  6. ” I have made the choice to be totally aware of what I put in my mouth ” This is so beautiful and how you describe your awareness of what to put in your mouth comes from your body’s reactions to what is not good for your body . Something you had understood as a young person but now bringing it to a deeper level.
    ” I pay attention to me for me ” what a simplicity .

  7. ” my life has changed in many wonderful ways ” is it not amazing how our life changes when we make choices for ourselves and not from what the world wants us to do , and how this can be simply inspired by another having done the same for themselves, thank you LM for sharing and Serge Benhayon.

  8. The truths that are absolute, well they are hard to come by in our society which has become so focussed on knowledge and I formation – nothing really that is mainstream carries what is lived as true – it is all pandering in one way or another.

  9. The tools that have been offered through the amazing presentations of Serge Benhayon are simple and challenging at times, yet a constant point of pondering and are deeply respecting resources to return to time and time again.

  10. There is an old saying about how the truth will set us free and the fact is that it does. The moment we connect to the truth of something the freer we become.

  11. I have found one of the things the Universal Medicine Sacred Esoteric Healing courses help to support … among many many things, is change of diet. For example for years I knew drinking alcohol did not feel good but never found the will power to give this up. After attending a few Universal Medicine Sacred Esoteric Healing courses I was given the love and space to feel more of me, to discard things I was holding onto or had been carrying that was not me and connect/feel my essence. Without even trying alcohol just naturally fell away and I no longer drink which has been for 11 years. As well as this many many other things have changed for me. I feel more me and more connected to me than I ever have done before.

    1. It was the lack of trying that I also found how simple it was that things were just falling away from me Vicky. The more I was supported by attending Sacred Esoteric Healing courses run by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, and also having one to one sessions wiht practitioners of the Univerals Medicine modalities, I have become so much more in touch with my body and what it wants and doesn’t want, resulting in a very simple transition when it comes to giving up anything. A day comes when I just know that something I may have been addicted to for years, and I realise that I simply not just no longer want it, but that there is no longer a need for it.

  12. ‘My awareness of my body’s functions is becoming amazingly sharp, I pay attention to me for me, and I feel more alive because of this.’ Now what an amazing statement in and of itself. Awareness = aliveness. It says that by paying attention to our bodies, we can return to a state of vitality. That alone has wonderful implications for our self-care and, ultimately, our health care system as this is simple self-responsibility: no trip to the doctor required.

  13. Our lives cannot but change when we begin to bring awareness to how we are living and surrender to the truth we feel, allowing our inner-truth to guide us. Not only do we come to realise that love is who we are, as such we begin to honor ourselves more, but we also we are bringing to life the much needed quality of love that this world is screaming out for. The vibration of love is sure to enrich our lives to no end.

  14. I love the confidence and power you share your choices with. It’s great to be confident to listen to our body in a world where the feelings of our body are not considered much.

  15. The choices can be surprisingly simple too with the more care and nurturing that we show ourselves.

  16. My body is sensitive to food it always has been it has just been prepared to accept that I feel a million times better emotionally and physically when i honour this.

  17. The other day I was having a conversation with someone .. or rather they were having a conversation with me! About how changing diet, like taking gluten and diary etc out does not have an affect at all and that there is no proof. The truth is forget what publications and reports have been done on diet, we (everyone) are the true and living proof with regards to diet. We are our own science experiment and like you I have noticed many positive changes within my body, health and well-being since taking things like gluten and diary out of my diet like not feeling absolutely exhausted with no energy the whole time. And how by not drinking alcohol I am more connected with my inner heart. Also I am learning this does not stay static but is forever unfolding and evolving for instance today my tummy told me I can no longer eat chewing gum like I have been doing!

  18. If we want to value ourselves more, this means all of us which includes our digestive systems.

  19. Awesome LM to see and feel the positive effects of eliminating the substances that were doing you harm. Listening to our bodies in this way opens the door to so much more – to our whole-body intelligence as Serge Benhayon has described it – and to a deeper connection to ourselves.

  20. The simplicity shared here is the foundation we all need, especially if we wish to enjoy our lives and our bodies. We are constantly affected by our choices and this we don’t realise until we make the choice to feel first what that choice will bring.

  21. it is when we bring honesty into the equation that we can then truly reveal and discard the ill-behaviours that serve to keep us less than and unknowing of the truth of who we are.

  22. I love the fact that Serge does not tell people what to do, but rather presents his understanding and experience for which we can choose to explore and decide for ourselves. empowering each one to discern for themselves what is true for them and what is not.

  23. To me it is a wise thing to let our bodies tell us what we can eat or not and if everybody would be able to do that, many of the illness and diseases we are burdened with will cease to exist.

  24. Our bodies are so very sensitive and we often do not appreciate this fact. As a young person I used to feel how my lungs and chest would get affected when I had dairy yet it never occurred to me to stop having it because of my desire for cheese. The desire overrode what my body was telling me. Sooner or later the body has to give us louder and louder signals to let us know that what we are doing is not supporting us and interestingly enough that is when we often complain the most and blame the body for being a nuisance. Having a respectful relationship with our body is vital for great health and wellbeing

  25. Such simple awareness that can come to us when we choose to tune into the way that certain foods affect us. The catch 22 is that we often cannot feel what the food is doing to us until such time that we actually eliminate it from our diets, and sometimes this may require more time than we realise because of the residual effect of some foods that can last for up to 9 months or more. Great sharing LM, thank you!

  26. What I find amazing is just how attuned our bodies can be too disturbances I have itchy eyes today because of something I ate yesterday in the past I would have not even really registered the itchy eyes and never linked what I ate to the symptom. When we ignore, we override and then end up not seeing the signs our body signals.

  27. I love that with saying yes to the absoluteness of truth there is room for each and every individual to express in full. Absoluteness is different to dogma and rules, there is a completeness that supports all equally.

  28. Serge Benhayon is presenting a way of living to us that not only brings us a better life, health and vitality but with that also a reconnection with that grander whole we are part of and have a role to play in and with that make us to resurrect to who we truly are, divine beings, and Sons of God.

  29. So simply put. You choose to listen to your body, and your body speaks to you….it really is as simple as that.

  30. When Serge Benhayon presents I often realise that what he is saying is a truth that I already knew but was not choosing for myself.

  31. I am so grateful that we have Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine to reflect and remind us that true love is the only way.

  32. What Serge presents is really just common sense and it feel like we know it already at some level, all we are doing is choosing to make simple choices to be more supportive of ourselves.

  33. ‘Thanks to my choice to attend workshops and presentations by Serge Benhayon, I am making changes that reflect the true love that Serge and Universal Medicine stand for – for all equally.’ Thanks LM. I realise as I read this that it has been the same for me. I have had all sorts of stories and lies told about me and those I hold dear yet I feel no malice or ill will toward the perpetrators whatsoever. The love that I feel is not a construct or an idea in my head it is real and can be felt in my body. It is not absolute all of the time for I recognise here and there a little trigger that can still get activated and this I am working on through deepening the love I have for myself, fostering my awareness and cherishing my connection.

  34. It was the feeling of absoluteness when Serge Benhayon spoke at the first workshop I ever attended that left me knowing that the decision to meet this man was indeed absolutely true. In fact it was even before he spoke that I could feel it as I watched him walk into the room and begin to write some beautiful words on the white board. At that moment I knew I was in the ‘right’ place and that place felt like home.

  35. It makes sense that as we grow and develop and change that what we put into our diets may need to change overtime. There are many things that we are not taught and if we step back and look at the trajectory of humanity one may ask why we are not teaching some of the basic things that help us to function as balanced happy healthy and productive humans beings.

  36. Simple adjustments are profound adjustments when we are listening to what our body has been asking for all along.

  37. It is amazing that make a few changes to your diet can be so life changing, I know this has been my experience as well and I am forever grateful for Serge Benhayon always presenting the energetic truth without holding back for it has been very supportive and powerful for countless students worldwide.

  38. “I pay attention to me for me, and I feel more alive because of this.” I love what you share here. So simple, yet so power-full. When we look to others to pay attention to us, it leaves us at their mercy – sometimes elated when we get it, and somewhat deflated when we don’t. When we pay attention to ourselves, for ourselves, it is constant and does make you feel more alive. It is always our choice.

  39. A truthful sharing LM and one I can relate to in many ways! Asthma was rife in some of my family of origin and milk on looking back was considered a staple in our diets. I feel milk has much to answer for and is not the mainstay building block of good health it was considered to be!

  40. You say: “The truths he spoke of felt to me to be absolute.” That says it in a nutshell because truth is absolute and Serge Benhayon speaks the absolute truth

  41. Showing us that it is simply a re-discovering of what we already know, have known and come back to.Serge Benhayon his works are simply reminding us of all of that. So actually it is an energy that gets reflected back to us that we belong to something even if we have separated from it for some time. Because we know the truth, it is simply a matter of coming back and acknowledging all that is there step by step..

  42. Awesome to read about the changes you’ve made LM. Prior to me fully understanding how our food choices can affect us and our health, I never thought I could give up comfort foods like sugar, diary and gluten. When I started to listen to my body there was no doubt or hesitation in cutting them out. Now I feel so different, so much more energy, clarity, feeling vital and joyful. Our food choices affect us in more ways than we like to acknowledge, knowing this supports me to make wiser and more loving food choices.

  43. It is great to hear you were already listening to your body early in your life when you gave up dairy! If we could all trust ourselves enough to do the same what a healthy society we could have, and the medical system would not be so weighed down by the amount of sickness in our world today.

  44. LM, I am also feeling healthier than ever before since giving up gluten, dairy and sugar. I used to get bad hay fever several times a year and also when flying and giving up these foods and living a more self-loving life-style has marked the end of the dripping nose and sneezes that used to make me feel so miserable. ‘Paying attention to me for me’ brings us back to listening to our bodies which always let us know when we have made a bad move, or even if we are about to.

    1. Same here Vanessa. If I eat gluten, dairy or sugar now, I would feel awful and sick, and there is no way I would go back to eating in a way that hurts my body.

  45. I spent years dabbling with spiritulaity. Searching for something that was Not True. When I came across Serge Benhayon 6 years ago my life changed. I have made changes to my life with food, the way I react, how I connect with people the list is endless. And so it continues.

  46. “I pay attention to me for me, and I feel more alive because of this.” And by paying attention to ourselves for ourselves we then find we are doing for everyone else as well.

  47. LM, I was introduced to Universal Medicine by a friend too. Before this I had been feeling and knew what I was eating was not supporting my body’s general health and well-being. I never thought I could give up gluten, dairy or sugar. I knew how these foods made me feel, heavy, lethargic, grumpy and not myself, but I felt it was going to be impossible to not eat them. But what I discovered was once I started taking more care of my body, honour and love it like never before, these foods just simply dropped away and I have been feeling amazing since. Making that same choice to listen to my body and choose to eat foods that nourish my body, instead of falling for the taste sensations and numbing effects, I am now feeling more myself and enegrised. Thanks to the inspiration from people I met at Universal Medicine, my life has changed dramatically, from feeling exhaustion to now feeling full of vitality, steadiness and joy.

  48. When I read this blog, and maybe equally for others, I get this feeling/sense that it makes simply so much sense to listen to our body when it is giving us signs.. Yet also, how I have stepped over that, and said: well what my mind says is more important and crucial! Oh oops, that is a little arrogant, since we are more body than brain/mind. So everything you share, and taking in that our responsibility is from and with energy, this ; listening to your body, is well understood.

  49. I find it quite fascinating that we live in our bodies, 24/7, but we pay very little attention to our bodies or build a relationship with our bodies. Until now. Serge Benhayon is leading the way and showing us how you can live in connection with your body and build an appreciation for it and honour it. And miracle, after miracle, like you and your asthma, are occuring.

  50. The simple truth we all know deep in essence can be the truth we all live if we are willing to bring it up to the surface and express it forth into the world. In this way humanity will arrest the waywardness that has otherwise sought to stifle this expression and seen us live far less than what we are truly capable of living when we give voice to such simple truth.

  51. There is a certain irony that the body is the key back home to the divinity we withdrew from when we started to pursue a life through form. Our physical particles belong to the Universal Order we can never stop being a part of, even if we choose to live in separation to this.

  52. “Thanks to my choice to attend workshops and presentations by Serge Benhayon, I am making changes that reflect the true love that Serge and Universal Medicine stand for – for all equally.” That is so beautiful about the presentations by Serge Benhayon they are not just for the person attending and are shared through people starting to live what he presents as well.

  53. “My awareness of my body’s functions is becoming amazingly sharp, I pay attention to me for me, and I feel more alive because of this.” It’s one of the defining moments for me since attending Universal Medicine – the acknowledgment and choosing to feel everything that is going on around me and in me. Because for so long I had not, there was a path I had to return to and walk – the return is heaven!

  54. I appreciate the simplicity of this article, and what you have presented LM I also agree with.

  55. We read a lot about great diets, and the changes that you mention LM can help it’s true. But this is small fry compared to the choice to take responsibility for us, our body and how we feel. It’s this that transforms life and opens up our heart just as your story and Serge Benhayon show.

  56. When we pay attention to the details that care for ourselves it definitely brings an aliveness to all that we do, see and feel.

  57. There are so many asthmatics who could benefit from dropping Gluten and dairy from their diets! If this information were more regularly published in mainstream news what a difference it could make.

  58. When I started to ‘team up with my body’ and work in sync with it I started to feel things that I had not been aware of before and the contentment, warmth and sweetness I can feel within myself today is in stark contrast to the exhaustion, emptiness and neediness I used to feel.

  59. My life totally changed when I started to attend the workshops and presentations by Serge Benhayon, I too am now making changes that are more loving, I am learning to respond rather then react and I have learnt to listen to my body and not override it. Such simple yet deeply profound changes.

  60. It is amazing how these simple choices around food can make such a difference in how you feel. There are many diets around that often focus on loosing weight and being healthy but not on how we feel – that is how foods feel in our body, how we feel after eating and thus making it about truly eating foods that make us feel great in every way.

  61. “I pay attention to me for me, and I feel more alive because of this” Bam and the truth is told. We look to others to pay attention to ourselves and man o man that is exhausting because you rarely get it and when you get it, you analyse the living be-jeez-us out of it because it did not come as you wanted it! Much better to bring it to and for yourself.

  62. Having clarity and understanding of the choices we make is the best road make to anyone’s life.

  63. Clarity in the body is something we all have, we just may choose to block that clarity with our choices.

  64. Yes our body is truly our temple in which we live and experience life. Clog it up and it will not provide the fullness it’s capable of. Just like a musical instrument – you wouldn’t put a lot of stuff in it because you know it needs the space to deliver its tunes.

  65. Inspiration is a ripple, it isn’t too long when the person being inspired starts to begin to inspire others. This is the real act and science of supporting people.

  66. “I pay attention to me for me, and I feel more alive because of this.”
    Hear Hear LM, I could never have imagined how confirming it is to truly honour oneself and how richly this feeds you back and in turn the world.

  67. Very simple and straightforward, thank you.It is amazing when we finally find something that really makes sense and never stops making sense. It actually just gets better.

  68. What a Beaty-full account of how a resonance of the truth can lead to such a massive change in one’s (and all those around them) lives

  69. Reading your blog and the comments this morning, it is clear that there is much power in making simple changes in your life that can have massive long-lasting changes. As a fellow student of The Way of the Livingness, I can attest to this as well. Over the years, prior to meeting Serge Benhayon, I made lots of changes but they were big deals, and often fads and driven from the thinking that I am less and need to fix myself – they never lasted. But making simple, everyday choices to support myself, to let go of what does not support me, is a whole new ball game. The changes last and effects are massive.

  70. One day, in our not to distant future, it will be known and accepted by all how harming gluten, dairy and sugar are to our system.

  71. ‘Since making the choice for myself to not eat gluten / wheat and sugars, I am feeling healthier than I have ever felt.’ Despite the predominance of sugar, gluten and dairy in food today, more and more people are becoming aware of the impact of these substances on the body.

  72. I tried for years through my teens to stop eating gluten, I knew it didn’t feel good in my body but that wasn’t enough for me to listen. After understanding more about the energetic quality of gluten and how I was using it to dull my awareness and ability to feel life I have had more to think about when a craving for bread or something comes up. It’s amazing how much sense life makes since I’ve been attending Universal Medicine presentations and how my life has changed – this is just one example among the many.

  73. Life can become really enjoyable when we team up with our body and build a relationship based on honesty, communication and honouring. We can make life a real struggle when we fight against what our body needs and treat it in a way that overrides it’s symptoms and side effects of the way we live.

  74. Amazing to read how aware you were of your body and listening to it with regards to not eating dairy. I too felt awful after eating dairy but overrode what my body was telling me because I was told it was good for me. Listening to our body is so important because no one knows better about your body than your own body. It then makes sense to listen to it carefully and honour the messages we receive to support and keep it in harmony.

  75. Thank you LM – this is wonderful that you knew to cut out on the milk and dairy to support your lungs. So many people are not aware that such a simple thing can make such a huge difference in someone’s life. And then there are also those who have more subtle changes from eliminating dairy, which in many ways are also so extraordinary to experience – more clarity, more energy a ‘lift’ etc and not just the unclogged nose and sinuses or cleaner breathing or reduced colds and flues. Food plays such a huge role in how we feel and how our body responds to life.

  76. We do really begin to feel more alive and purpose filled when we take heed of the communication from the body.

  77. LM I only can agree to what you have shared in your honest blog. To be aware what I put into my body is the best thing I ever did. It helped me to get rid of my asthma. Question: “why should I eat gluten and dairy if I knew that made me ill????

  78. Thank you LM for sharing your experiences and your wisdom; the simplicity in which you have expressed in this blog is very powerful and true.

  79. Serge Benhayon offered me the opportunity of true awareness in a way that had never been presented to me before. The way my life has unfolded since then is a huge departure from the path that I was on and could not seem to get off of no matter how much I wanted to. By building my awareness of myself and how I feel, I have been able to turn around a life that was truly going nowhere into one that is being lived.

  80. It really is that simple isn’t it LM. Just paying attention to the choices we are making and why we are making them. Taking a step back and considering there is energy involved offers us a key which unlocks a whole world of potential.

  81. I have also felt the powerful and liberating feeling gained from attending presentations of Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon. What has made the difference is my choosing to change the way I have been doing things and being open to learning a whole new other way that truly supports my vitality, awareness and commitment to living in the world. A way that has increased my love and compassion not only for myself but for the whole of humanity. My attitude to my own participation in the world holds within it more responsibility and I am enjoying life in a more solid and steady way without the roller -coaster ups and downs that can have such a toll on our bodies and minds.

  82. Simple choices. Massive changes. When I look back on my life over the last ten years since I started attending the Way of the Livingness presentations it is almost unfathomable how radically it has changed. Yet whenI examine it closely, it really is nothing more complicated than a series of very simple choices. Simple choices. Massive changes.

    1. Beautifully said Otto: “Simple choices. Massive changes”. When we make a choice to remove the complication from our lives and are left with simplicity we have created a space for change to take place. Complication has us walking around in circles, but simplicity allows us to take one step at a time, a step back to us, as presented so clearly by The Way of The Livingness; a very simple and common sense filled way of living.

      1. We create the complication because we want to walk around in circles. That is important to accept – that we are creating it, that we are responsible.

  83. Thankyou LM, what you have shared about your awareness of your body and your diet in your line “I pay attention to me for me” is beautiful, and that is exactly it! It’s not about following someone or guidelines, it’s simply about paying attention to our own body, and making changes because of the love we feel for ourselves.

  84. Thanks LM. When I first heard presentations from Serge Benhayon they confirmed what I already knew in my body and what felt true. Everything is a choice and when you choose what is truly loving first the body responds.

  85. What I Love about the presentations from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine is that they are just such common sense. It is in getting back to simplicity that we truly heal.

  86. LM,
    I too know the Benifits of stopping eating gluten, dairy and sugars. My body responded by loosing weight and no asthma, which had been a constant in my life since 21. The greatest miracle though has been the solid still feeling I have now in my body. Anxiety was my constant companion for most of my life, one that had me dealing with thyroid issues from the age of 2 until my late teens, then again in my 40’s. The teachings of Serge Benhayon have been the catalyst to knowing this anxiety, accepting that it is there, but not normal and so therefore letting it go. My body has responded to this approach by showing great improvement to my thyroid function.

  87. So well and simply said – when we take care of ourselves and listen to what our body needs we become more aware, more vibrant and more alive. I also have Serge Benhayon to thank for inspiring me to take more notice of what my body was actually saying rather than overriding with my mind that always wants the quick fix and no responsibility.

  88. I agree LM that Serge Benhayon makes so much sense, so much more sense than anyone else that I have heard speak . Therefore so many lives have been changed including my own, and taking full responsibility for the choices I make every day is just one of those changes.

  89. I thank God constantly for sending Serge Benhayon, for his strength, absolute divinity and dedication to Humanity. We are deeply blessed to have the ‘All in One’ with us, leading the way, inspiring us to return to our equal grandness.

  90. My life too is completely opposite to how it was when i came to Universal Medicine and met Serge Benhayon 11 years ago. I am healthier, more loving, have deeper sincere friendships, more committed than ever and purposeful in life, my diet is nourishing and supportive and mostly i am ME – no longer a picture, a role or what the world has suggested i am or can be, but breathing my own breath deep into my lungs, deeply connected to life and to God and absolutely free in every way. I am now forever fully equipped to live whatever comes my way.

  91. Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine are inspiring Humanity across the globe in every which way.
    To live the love we are, to reconnect to our known truth and to live in harmony with our natural rhythm and all others is True Living – this is for certain.

  92. So amazing that such simple steps can have such a profound effect. This is what I love about this blog. So often the way of a healthier, more joyful and more connected life gets wrapped up in all kinds of ultra complicated paths – the traditional religions being the most potent and pertinent example of this. And yet, because we have God inside us already, as this article suggests, is it possible that a few super simple steps that enable us to connect to ourselves and our body will in fact take us closer to God than any number of visits to the world’s great cathedrals or monasteries?

  93. It is a true blessing to have audio presentations of what Serge Benhayon presents and teaches, they are as you say of absolute truth and game and life changers once listened to. Also this goes to show just how our diet does affect our body and from making loving choices with what we eat and drink can change our health immediately.

  94. I really appreciate those moments where through observing my body and my choices I understand something that is not right for me. It’s a very empowering moment to connect the dots and let go of a food or behaviour. There is a lot of information about nutrition but there is nothing so powerful as a direct communication from my body.

  95. Thank you LM. for sharing your experience, and the subsequent healing of your asthma. There are so many people, a large number of children that have been afflicted by asthma and are taking some pretty heavy medication for it which of course causes many unpleasant side effects. So you are a living example
    of the way our food and drink are harming our bodies.

  96. It is quite beautiful how when we start to care for the body by looking at what we put into it the body immediately responds, it is as if our bodies are just waiting for us to pay loving attention to it.

  97. Paying attention to yourself, for yourself is a truly fantastic way to live. It means we end up feeling authentic and loving.

  98. It’s incredible to read this article and all the feed back and realise in the years since writing the rise in ‘ nut milks’ bread alternatives made from gluten free grains, and sugar free products made from cactus, stevia, rice malt syrup have all come on the market and into our supermarkets. Whilst these are a step in the right direction, have we actually asked ourselves and our bodies … Do we really need to eat these foods at all?

  99. Serge Benhayon presents what he knows is truth from his own body and it is each persons choice to experiment for themselves whether this is also true for them. From listening to presentations by Serge I did not like or drink milk but had something of an addiction to cheese and thought it would be difficult to give it up. I decided to try giving up all dairy products and was surprised how much healthier I felt with almost constant and repeated colds disappearing. I no longer crave something that makes me feel unwell.

  100. It is a joy to feel (and listen) to the changes that happens with our bodies when we take back responsibility for what we put into it. Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon coming into my life enabled me to ‘open my eyes’ to the truth of how I was existing and not living life. Like you LM I really appreciate and love the changes that have taken place and continue to do so.

  101. Esoteric yoga is a great technique for marking a level of tenderness or stillness in the body, a quality we can then take with us out into the day. and with that comes a greater awareness and understanding of how we live.. It’s an awesome modality for helping us to arrest the ill=patterns we run with every day by bringing that awareness into all that we do.

  102. Same for me Alexandre, cutting down sugar is the hardest thing, but the more I become aware that it has more to do with how I run my day, in nervous energy, anxious or stressed, and the exhaustion that comes with that, that then results in seeking sugar to prop me up. The down side is that the sugar artificially spins the body keeping it going in those destructive and draining energies, so a self-defeating cycle. Looking honestly at what I’m reacting to and how I’m living is more effective and more healing than imposing a discipline, that usually fails anyway 🙂

  103. I agree Alison, when I make true choices on what to eat, the results of how I feel are spectacular. For years I thought it was normal to feel unwell after eating, every time, so to discover it was possible to feel great and energised instead of bloated and sick, was something of a revelation – how crazy is that. Where has the sense gone in how we present food, instead of as true nourishment but rather all the other reasons we use it for, to medicate, numb, stimulate, reward, comfort, or obliterate ourselves. The body knows what it needs if we just let it say.

  104. That’s true Alexandre, and sometimes what we eat one day is exactly what the body needs, so you feel amazing afterwards, but if you try to eat the same thing the following day, because of yesterday’s results, it doesn’t work – because that is not what the body was asking for that time. A great learning to trust with what you feel is right for each moment and not go with a mental approach, but rather commit to staying aware and listening to the body’s messages.

  105. I love being gluten/dairy and sugar free. It is so great to not feel bloated all day and have sinus issues. It was through the presentations by Serge Benhayon that I realized that I had a responsibility as to what I put into my body and that my body knows what works for it and what doesn’t.

  106. At first it may seem like a simple action to take care of yourself. However from this point many opportunities open up that will compliment the new change within.

    I.e. with more energy more work, possibly more capacity? All steaming from self-care. And from there it continues to develop.

  107. Agreed Joe and none of what Universal Medicine presented was a rule, or an instruction. That is what made it easy to go and experiment, to learn what supported my body depending on what demands were on it.

  108. I love the simplicity of this blog, it is simply as it is… I got…what I eat affects how I feel. I have made choices to feel that and make choices about what I eat accordingly. Thanks LM, great wisdom.

  109. It’s true Esther, that people do know what is beneficial or not for the body, but they are not always prepared to take responsibility for their health. You often hear people say that they know they shouldn’t have certain foods or drinks but they indulge anyway with a certain guilty pleasure. But once you allow yourself to truly feel the feedback from the body without overriding it, it is then easier to give up foods that are not supportive.

  110. Thank you LM. for talking to us about your experience. It really is all about us honestly listening to and feeling what our bodies are talking to us about and following through on this. Self nurture and self responsibility are so important.

  111. Universal Medicine have offered me the opportunity to make changes to my life, which have really supported me to find the true me. Work in progress as there is always more to unfold. I am very grateful for all that Universal Medicine has presented as it has changed my life completely.

  112. “I have made the choice to be totally aware of what I put in my mouth” such a simple statement but one that can carry life changing consequences as you have shown here. With the World Health statistics being what they are with Diabetes hugely on the rise as well as many other diseases we would be doing the world a huge service if we were all to become more aware of this simple fact and look to what foods truly support us in life.

    1. The strange fact remains that most people only listen or act to support their bodies when forced to, faced with a crisis or when clinically diagnosed with serious illness. Someone close to me, obese and struggling to walk for years, has just been diagnosed with diabetes. It took this diagnosis to propel her to take responsibility for her health: she now watches what she eats and works out three times a week. with a personal trainer. Instead of ‘ ‘I’ll wait unitil Im ill’ approach to health, Serge Benhayon has revolutionised attitudes to true health and raised awareness of the root causes of illness and disease. He teaches us that ‘life is medicine’ that we can make daily life style choices that support our bodies to stay vital and energised and prevent or reduce the onset of illness and disease. And should we become ill, our bodies are better equipped to repair and heal. Prevention is alway better than cure. Self love and self care is the only way.

      1. Absolutely kehinde2012, I have experienced the same thing – why wait for a life changing diagnosis to bring in changes that support our bodies to function properly! Note I say function, I didn’t even mention feeling good or even great. I have lived function and less than function and can tell the difference with what I now live. When I get sick my body knows exactly how to rebalance itself, I simply have to listen and get the support needed in order to facilitate that healing. Sometimes that is rest, other times it is over-the-counter medicine, other times it needs blood tests and a bit more investigation. The openness to work with our bodies and be engaged with our health is an empowering privilege and I would now say my duty. Why abdicate my health to someone else…it is fully my responsibility to look after myself and get support where necessary.

  113. This is a beautiful quote “Thanks to my choice to attend workshops and presentations by Serge Benhayon, I am making changes that reflect the true love that Serge and Universal Medicine stand for – for all equally.” What I particularly picked up on is ‘you make choices’, it is about self responsibility, no more no less, no one can tell you or do it for you. Universal Medicine for me, stands for ‘expressing love equally with all, for the all’, this is something I now learning to live, with self responsibility and it is empowering. There is no follower here I am inspired and I will continue to be, but I am responsible for how I live my life.

  114. “My awareness of my body’s functions is becoming amazingly sharp”…I love this and love reading other comments/blogs and seeing how many other people are doing the same. Tuning in to our bodies absolute wisdom. When I go to eat something my body doesn’t want, the subtlest tension in my head arises – I can then choose to override it and eat anyway or step away. But prior to Universal Medicine, I would never have tuned in to those more subtle signs my body is continually sharing.

  115. ‘The truths he spoke of felt to me to be absolute.’ I do not have to add anything to this sentence as it says all about Serge Benhayon.

  116. Self-honour, self love and self-grace is what I sense in reading your words. Isn’t it amazing what our bodies are constantly telling us when we become aware and open to listening? The trick is we have devalued this relationship with our bodies and instead have put focus on getting answers from the many avenues outside of this relationship.

  117. When I dropped gluten and dairy from my diet it made a huge difference to my health, my body found its correct weight, and I no longer had that sluggish bloated feeling, I felt much more vibrant too, and from there my body started telling me what to eat to support it, and what was off the menu, as it no longer supported me my body began to react to certain foods in order to get the message across.

  118. Thank you LM for this simple, straightforward, matter of fact blog.
    ‘The Truths he Spoke of Felt to me Absolute’, this is how it has been for me too.

  119. Yes Alison it is amazing how when we start to eliminate foods that we know cause bloating, headaches, raciness etc we become more aware and from what the body tells from this new awareness we can refine further what we eat.

  120. What a gorgeous sentence “My awareness of my body’s functions is becoming amazingly sharp, I pay attention to me for me, and I feel more alive because of this.” I have had this experience, honouring what I feel has meant that I have this vitality and joy building from within it is an awesome activity and experience.

  121. We can be our own scientific experiment, what better understanding of science can we have that one that we live through our own bodies, hypothesis, testing, observation, and results! Universal Medicine brings a true quality back to Science – one that I searched in vain for in all those years at University.

    1. I absolutely agree Annie, we are living science, we just have to observe ourselves, our bodies, our actions and thoughts with honesty and stop what is clearly not working and deepen what truly supports us.

    2. ‘We can be our own scientific experiment, what better understanding of science can we have that one that we live through our own bodies, hypothesis, testing, observation, and results!’ Just reading all these blogs and comments tells us that Serge Benhayon definitely knows what he is talking about.

      1. Yes, there are so many people living with far greater health and vitality than they have for most of their lives, not just visibly and subjectively so, but confirmed by their medical results. Others are finding it easier to manage chronic long term conditions, by testing for themselves what life choices work to support them, and what does not work. Not rocket science, put powerfully effective none-the-less.

  122. LM you made a simple choice to eat foods that support rather than dull or numb you. My life changed enormously for the better too after I made the choice to stop gluten, dairy and sugars (over a period of several years) to one in which I began to feel more and more clearly what was going on in my body, the best ways to support it and stop doing things that put it in jeopardy. The lightness and distinct lack of bloating are just welcome side effects and the greater awareness has been the greatest gift.

    1. Jeanette I have also found the greater awareness to be the greatest gift that has come from making different food choices. Until we make the change we just don’t know what we are missing out on.

  123. My life has changed so much since first meeting Serge Benhayon attending his presentations and having sessions with Esoteric practitioners. Serges suggestion connect to my body and listen to what it is telling me, feel how different foods affect my health and well-being and from that discern what is right for me to eat has deepened my connection to my body and improved health and wellbeing.

  124. To feel that “absoluteness ” in the body is a connection to all of me and to the all I am. No doubt or confusion just clarity, fullness and a surety that is known and recognised in my body and it feels so solid and steady. It’s also a marker I have in my body that can steady me if I am feeling a bit out of sorts.

  125. When something feels absolute in our body we are feeling Truth – and this has a universal quality that is beyond the mental experience of ‘certainty’ or being ‘right’ – it is known from the inside of our being and from it comes no push or trying or convincing or justifying – simply a glorious solidness that when felt and expressed offers a healing for all.

  126. Listening to and honouring that your body does know best is one of the simple, yet life changing things that Serge Benhayon has presented consistently over the 15 years I have known him. This has completely changed the way I live. It is the thing that I most share with other people who are still stuck (as I was) in trying to follow the latest fad, scientific advice etc. If we were all aware of this and understood the implications, perhaps our health and healthcare systems would not be in the mess they are in.

    1. I completely agree Fiona. It is one of the most simple yet most challenging things Serge has presented for me as well. I remember once coming home from a debauched weekend away and saying to my body – oh I am so sorry as I could feel what I (the head) had put it through. But yet it so lovingly still chooses to operate for me when I am like that BUT it has to spend time processing the ills as opposed to supporting me and the showing me the innate wisdom it contains. I am very grateful to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine who have shown me very simple and practical ways to listen and honour the body so it can now spend more time doing what it is naturally meant to do than processing my debauched weekends. And how lovely is it to spend time with your body.

      1. This is great how you describe this sarahflenley, of exactly how much our bodies still work for us even when we are not always making supportive choices. It offers us the possibility to consider that by listening to, and working ‘with’ our bodies, how much more we can support ourselves and create a relationship where we can support it to do what it is naturally there to do…. This just gives me a deeper appreciation of our bodies and how much and how consistently they are talking to us all the time, even when we don’t want to or choose not to listen…

  127. Universal Medicine offers an opportunity to fall back in love with ourselves, to really honour our bodies and our feelings, this is the sweet sweet music that the world is crying out for.

  128. Absolutely, I would say that whenever I was at any presentation, that Serge was speaking my language, as he awoken what I had known for a very long time, the language of the heart as the heart ‘knows’ and speaks to us equally. It makes complete sense. It is up to us and what we do with it that makes all the difference. Thank you LM for I love the simplicity of your sharing.

  129. These are powerful words LM, ‘‘my awareness of my body’s functions is becoming amazingly sharp, I pay attention to me for me, and I feel more alive because of this.”
    I have connected to my body deeply, that offered me to actually feel what certain foods, choices and behaviors are doing with me, I noticed that I could actually observe myself more instead of absorbing basically everything that I came across. I feel that I am finally feeling and loving my body again – as it did not made sense to me before to not feel any connection with myself or truly with others. I had been floating around (without legs so the speak) and now I am more standing on earth (with full legs) then ever before. I feel my body and it is so great to feel it!

  130. Making very clear choices around what we put in our body is a very simple yet powerful choice which we can make in our lives. It has consequences for our well-being and overall awareness of our feelings and our body. It is great to have an experience of absoluteness or inner-knowing – which you described in listening to the audios and meeting Serge. When we have an experience of this deep knowing, we can be encouraged to bring this quality to all areas of our lives from the food we eat to the quality of our relationships. If we are guided by our inner-knowing and have had an experience of what this feels like, we can choose a course that is true for us – no formulas or ideals, simply true choices one step at a time.

  131. The effects of deeply caring for the body are profound. The next step could be to look at the emotions we all put into our body and see if removing them makes a difference.

    1. Yes suzanne anderssen. Eating when we are emotionally upset is a definite recipe for mal digestion and the correct absorption of nutrients to the body. Like wise if we cook when we are upset and then eat the food that is tainted with our, or others, emotionally-charged energy whether that be excitement, sadness, anger, frustration, resentment, that will have a deleterious affect on our bodies and sense of well being. Let’s face it, emotions are bad news, they disturb the potential for harmony, and stillness in the body.

  132. I enjoy the freshness and joy expressed in this blog. It feels amazing to make these changes and see this commitment to health and true self care flourish and support daily life. I know this has also been true for me.

  133. LM thank you for sharing your experience of Universal Medicine. You are not alone as many many other people have embraced these amazing teachings and have transformed their lives.

  134. Yes, I too am forever grateful to Serge Benhayon and the truth he brings re living a healthier and more vital, joyous lifestyle, for all of humanity to benefit from.
    Great to see L.M. that you have benefitted from removing gluten, dairy and sugar from your diet and your health is greatly improved.

  135. Beautiful LM. Serge certainly does present another way, a way that leads us to truth, health and wellbeing, vitality, and better choices in our life. I appreciate all that he shares with us all, as you say, equally.

  136. It’s not surprising that what we take in becomes who we are. This has been known for ages yet we ignore this and even create substances that take us further away from ourselves, as in mind and behavioural altering recreational drugs and alcohol and cigarettes. It is great that you discovered the harm that dairy products were causing you, and gluten and sugars too and what’s more you listened to your own wisdom and made your life so much better by leaving them behind. I find this sensitivity to foods and the continual adjustment of ones diet a huge support to my well-being. The difference between feeling alive, vital and centred in myself to being forgetful, confused, distracted and feeling less motivated and able to enjoy myself.

  137. Yes Deborah, after all it’s our own body we are abusing and pushing to the limits till our body has to give us a sign to stop… It’s then and only then are we willing to pay attention and heed the messages our body so loudly delivers.

  138. It’s easy to look back on my previous diet and wonder why I enjoyed so many things that I knew innately were best not suited to my body, and I was eating and getting fatter every year. Yet I went along with the old idea as you get older this happens … Right! Well no … I am back to my ideal weight and that’s been chosen by my body. I eat according to my bodies feelings and choices and putting on weight just doesn’t happen anymore. And bonus my asthma has gone completely!

  139. I agree LM, when I first meet Serge Benhayon it was obvious to me the truth he lived and presented was Absolute as well. Through making simple self-loving choices I now have more energy and vitality than I did 20 years ago, listening to my body has been key to these changes.

  140. It really is simple, as you say LM, making the choices that feel good to our body has got to be better than all the others. ‘Paying attention to me for me’ – responsibility in action!

  141. When we actually take the time to listen to our body it brings an amazing awareness, of what feels supportive, what blows it up and what you eat to fuel it, but actually drains it. My own health improved enormously when I gave up dairy and gluten along with alcohol.

  142. Interesting Adam! I used to get bronchitis every year as well! When I stopped having dairy this pattern stopped.

  143. Interesting that you felt how deeply dairy effected your lungs as a child. I remember having this awareness as well. We were so in touch with our bodies, we knew instantly what isn’t right for us. This has been coming back as I have started to listen more carefully to what my body is telling me and starting to honour whatever it is feeling.

  144. LM, what you share about your experiences with food supports the fact that food is definitely medicine, or its not.

  145. Yes I have had similar experiences. My health, vitality and well-being has improved out of sight – crazy that I ate food that hurt my body and made me feel yukky for so long.

  146. I am sure just how one day they found out the world is not flat they will indeed find out how actually harming foods like dairy and gluten are to the body.

    1. I often think this exact same thing samanthaengland. How our children and children’s children will look back in amazement at what we were doing to our bodies. Smoking is one such example which proves that humanity is craving the truth and that once they accept it, things change very quickly.

      1. Yes Ottobathurst, it was really not that long ago it was taught that the world was flat. Time will indeed tell that Gluten and Dairy are in-fact harmful to the body.

      2. Absolutely Ottobathurts, smoking is a smoking hot example, for in the future this would be sugar too i reckon. This is just only food. There are so many more examples that do wear us down and harm us – also for example : the way we walk, possibly emotions.. So many things we can look at and feel how it is affecting us. Being reflected by Universal Medicine , my responsibility in life , i know this is a reflection for us all to look deeper our eyes might see.

      3. Absolutely samanthaengland and ottobathurst, history has proven to us many times that a lot of things about unhealthy foods and other unhealthy habits were known to us, but a majority of people chose to stay in ignorance and the minority who spoke up were dismissed because people just did not want to give up their habits, or “tasty” foods.

    2. What an experiment this would be Lucinda. I can imagine quite an uproar and disturbance to begin with, and given time, the incredible shift in people’s health and wellbeing would be undeniable.

  147. I always thought of myself as ‘healthy’ despite the daily bloating.
    I didn’t realsie these were a consequence of eating Gluten. I was comparing my eating to others and not listening to my body that was very clearly sending me severe pain messages. I now realise I didn’t want to give up on the comforting foods and connect the dots. Now gluten has gone, looking for comfort in food has gone and I’m back pain free and feeling the vitality and clarity to read the messages my body sends me.

    1. Awesome Merrileepettinato! It wasn’t until I cut gluten out that I understood what bloating actually was. I never really clocked that I had any pain after eating, only overeating perhaps, but it’s so interesting how much we put up with because we think it’s normal. It’s not until we actually experience our bodies functioning properly before we really learn what normal feels like.

  148. We have this slogan here in Holland saying ‘Milk is good for everybody’. How important it is to not listen to these kind of marketing words and to really listen to our own bodies. The marketing department from the milk company does not know my body, I only do.

    1. This sounds horrible Annie C, when milk, not to mention the times it had gone off, is forced upon children. But that is exactly what is going on as you share: “People are not recognizing that tremendous amount of money are at stake for these industries and so they will fight for their survival and their profits and may be blinded to what is really going on.” It is not about people’s health or wellbeing but about money.

    2. I had to smile when I read your comment Mariette, but it is an absolute truth that all people should be aware of. All the glamorous advertising might seem real and look like they care for your health, but the only true message is the one your body is showing you.

    3. That’s just wrong on so many levels Annie, thank you for sharing this with us all. We are being ‘fed’ so much (literally and metaphorically) by corporations who want to make money of us and the government allows it because they are also making money out of it and often it is being hailed as what is good for us. The legacy of being forced fed dairy and the marketing campaign that dairy is an essential part of your diet, will take a long time to unravel. People need to rain it back in and start looking at their bodies about what is right for THEM and not what is being told.sold to them.

  149. Thanks LM – I have found the same thing, that the body can let you know far better than any medical test what is true for it to eat and what doesn’t work. As one who was undiagnosed coeliac for more than 20 years before it was confirmed, but my body was plain as day telling me not to eat gluten. Had I heard the presentations of Serge Benhayon then, I might have figured it out earlier and saved myself 20 years of being unwell. I now have vitality not dreamt of in decades – imagine how life could have been all this time.

  150. Short and sweet and to the point LM. More and more we see on the news and in the papers how important a healthy diet is, but what they are all missing is the vital point that we have to truly feel and do what is right for our own bodies. By cutting out dairy my wife no longer gets asthma. How much of a message is that? By me cutting out dairy and gluten, cigarettes and alcohol I no longer suffer from horrendous heart burn.

    1. Great article, and great further confirmation kevmchardy. There are countless examples out there like this. My daughter has had asthma and is learning the absolute direct correlation between her asthma and her level of self care. It’s a undeniable relationship that she (and us) have seen play out so many times, and it is a huge blessing to her (and us, and her brothers) to be so aware of this at such a young age.

    2. Same here Kevmchardy, cutting out dairy and gluten as an experiment turned my life around, and enjoyed a return to health i had not experienced for over 35 years.

      1. Yes diana1975 there is no such thing as a diet book. Listening to my body and making simple changes has been key for me: to not eat wheat as it had me retain fluid, dairy bloated me, sugar fattened me up and my life choices contributed to my asthma. Overtime I eliminated the foods that were harming me and sought the support of a Universal Medicine practitioner to clear my hurts and sadness – and the asthma stopped! I now listen to my body and it supports me to have a life I was doubting was possible for me as nothing I had tried previously had worked. Our body knows what supports us – listening to mine has been life changing.

      2. I agree 100% Diana. I am so glad that I am free of all the diet plans/books/fads (and I have tried many) and decided that my body knows best and when I care for it (to the best of my ability and with no perfection) that it is THE most powerful guideline at all. And since I decided to do that, I have lost 20 kilos and kept it off with no issues at all. I tried for about 20 years to lose 5 kilos and never worked!

      3. That is amazing Sarah and it proves that loosing weight is so much more than a case of dieting, but reclaiming and re-establishing the connection with ourselves

      4. It’s the reconnection to ourselves and the loving attention we pay our body that brings about these profound positive changes to our health and wellbeing. That is exactly why so many of the Universal Medicine students are experiencing amazing changes with their health and wellbeing. It’s simple and it works.

  151. Thank you LM for this blog. I totally concur with all that you have said. Since meeting Serge Benhayon and attending Universal Medicine workshops I have a new marker of true wellbeing in my body.

  152. It’s amazing how a simple choice to listen to our body can bring about the changes that impact our entire life. What Serge Banheyon presents is very simple and makes a lot of sense, and many agree and are inspired to make the same choice. What really stands out for me is how consistent and steady he continues to be, and that paves the way for what is also available to us.

  153. there is a constant search for miracle cures and sustained weight loss. What you present is such a simple way to make amazing changes in our health, bodies & lives – thank you.

  154. What a confirmation of the amazing effects that choosing to make loving choices and caring for oneself can do, thank you for sharing your experiences LM.
    Serge Benhayon and Universal medicine have been an inspiration for me and many others, to make these choices.

  155. It is all about choices, what we put in our mouths is one of them. And if it truly supports our body…? Just wait and feel.

  156. Thank you LM. Before coming into contact with Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine I believed I had no choices. The way my body was the way it was: tired, bloated, overweight, numbed out to life and there was no other way. Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon showed me another way, that there is such a thing as choices and that I can choose how I am in my life. This my body deeply appreciates for its wellness and aliveness.

  157. You had the awareness as a child to link the food you ate to how your body felt afterwards. We all have this awareness but choose to override it. It’s wonderful that you have returned to this and now feel to honour and respect how your body feels.
    Thank you LM.

  158. Thank you – I really enjoyed this blog. I particularly loved this sentence: ‘I pay attention to me for me, and I feel more alive because of this.’ I find the same, the more I pay attention to myself and my body and respond accordingly, almost the richer and more lovely life gets.

  159. Universal Medicine has helped me greatly in appreciating myself and becoming more connected to my body. There is much work to do yet and as a student I am keen to discover all that I can be thanks to the readings and workshops offered.

  160. The Universal Medicine presentations have offered me the opportunity to connect to and feel absolute truth within myself and listening to this has changed my life profoundly.

  161. I love the way you declare “I pay attention to me for me”. This self awareness is clearly contributing to the way you share how you are feeling more alive. The loving choices you made reflect the simple but powerful presentations that Serge Benhayon offers.

  162. Thank you Lm for sharing your story, what Serge Benhayon presents is so simple and so true , I have experienced a greater quality of life with more energy and more joy, by making more self loving choices , why, because I am worth it.

  163. The presentations and teaching of Serge Behayon and Universal Medicine are second to none; this man is the first person that made concrete sense to me and lives what he speaks about. Thank you LM for sharing the loving changes you were able to make through the teachings of Serge.

  164. Over 13 years ago I met Serge Benhayon for the first time. Even though I wasn’t aware I was looking for that absoluteness, I knew at that point I had found the real deal. The love and support I have been given over these years has never stopped or lessened and has also seen the way I am with food change enormously. Just one mouthful of a food that doesn’t agree with my body is felt. Listening to my body has become part of my every day and has helped me to heal in so many different areas of my life.

  165. The fact that presentations by Serge Benhayon make a lot of sense is an understatement. It is Truth and the choices I have made afterwards have changed my life and health beyond measure. Thank you LM for an inspiring blog.

  166. ‘Listening to your body’ is such a simple and naturally common sense idea, however is given so little credence in the modern medical paradigm. After years of ill-health with an undiagnosed gluten allergy, I finally made the choice to give up gluten (just before diagnosis) through listening to Serge’s presentations and having to admit to myself that I actually knew deep down it was affecting me. Health-wise I have never looked back, but I could have saved myself years of ‘suffering’ by the simple choice to honour what my body was telling me.

  167. I know that if I never attended another presentation again, I would never return to my old way of living and eating. My choices now with discerning how and what I eat make me feel so much healthier. I don’t always get it right, but I can feel so much more when this is happening now. Why would I ever choose differently?

    1. I totally agree Gill, if I never attended another presentation I would never go back to my old choices, and complete disregard of myself and others around me. Taking responsibility and choosing a love that is always deepening is too important to ever walk away from.

  168. Serge Benhayon and the love he lives, which is felt in his presentations, resonates strongly in my body. I can deeply feel the truth of it. Since I started to make changes myself and learn to listen to what my body is telling me I feel healthy and vibrant.

  169. Hi LM, the beautiful thing about the presentation is that it all makes sense, but by truly living what is presented it becomes your truth.

    1. So true Diana, by living in such a way where I honour my body and feelings in my choices, I can feel the truth of things so much more clearly.

  170. “I am making changes that reflect the true love that Serge and Universal Medicine stand for – for all equally.” ‘For all equally’ – this is the game changer for me – it is what makes the difference. Until you feel it, is is hard to describe – and when you feel it you realise how rare it is in our world. Now I understand that feeling when I do come across it, as there are amazing human beings out there in our world – and I make sure I appreciate it.

  171. Yes LM, the changes I have made in my life really improved my health and my awareness of the interconnectedness of everything we do.

  172. LM your awareness of your body is truly amazing and it just shows that if you are really ready to listen to what your body is telling you, it will tell you exactly what it does and doesn’t need. Pretty cool.

  173. LM we have, as a society over complicated things on a grand scale. In fact we are often drawn to things that are more complicated in the false belief that it must hold more of whatever it’s promising us ! How simple is it, as you say, to ask the body’s opinion and then follow it ! Bingo !

  174. Yes, I also felt that I knew what Serge Benhayon was presenting and that it felt so true inside me also. I also experienced many benefits since removing gluten and dairy from my diet, including a reduction of my asthma.

  175. That is the beauty of the teachings presented by Serge Benhayon; when you start to live them you will find out for yourself that they are true and this has been my way too. I sensed what he was presenting was true but through living it, I really experienced what he talked about and I can now say what Serge Benhayon presents is the truth.

  176. I know what you mean L.M. those audio presentations are so solid, the truth is absolute, there is no grey area.

  177. Thank you LM how amazing is it that when we take care of what we put into our mouths we ultimately feel better. I know so many people who have sinus and asthma difficulties and the few who have given up dairy are no longer affected. It seems to me very obvious that dairy congests the body, I know when I used to eat it I would feel bunged up for days making me feel like I could not breath properly.

  178. Such simplicity in this sharing and how listening to the body supports our wellbeing, because the body knows….I had chronic asthma at a very young age until my twenties and it gradually improved yet I was totally dependent on medication, without it I could’ve died….now I am medication free, I have not had asthma for the past 10 years, not even a minute attack. I can laugh without bringing on an asthma attack…I know this is attributed to connecting to my body, listening and caring for my body, working on my deep grief and pain from old hurts…and over time whoola – wellbeing and a joyful laugh without heavy breathing. In appreciation to Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and the practitioners whose love and care has supported me.

  179. I can agree totally to your comment, ‘…My awareness of my body’s functions is becoming amazingly sharp…’ I love feeling exactly what my body is telling me and why I am feeling that way. With this clarity, it feels like I have a sixth sense as I can feel much more clearly what people really mean – deciphering what it is they are meaning when they don’t actually say the words. Food has the tendency to numb this ability so it is awesome to have an awareness or understanding about food and what sits right in me.

  180. Thank you LM. Yes I love the emphasis you have on the word choice, because this is what Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon offer to the world. They offer wisdom and perspective on so many subjects, from self-care to self-image, from weight-loss to how to eat to live an optimum life, on expression and music, so many aspects of life and living that, when we are more informed, allow our choices to be much more self-empowering, and one is never told what to do, it is always a choice.

  181. I am keenly aware that Serge Benhayon only ever presents what he has tried and tested and works for his body. That’s why he has so much integrity – because he doesn’t just take someone else’s word for it no matter who they are.

  182. “My awareness of my body’s functions is becoming amazingly sharp, I pay attention to me for me, and I feel more alive because of this.” I am with you there, I know my body so much better than I ever have and it supports me to listen to it. Life is more full and I am much more present then I have ever been and this is through paying more attention to my body.

  183. When we hear something that someone says that resonates deeply within us as truth, we know that that something has always been within us – it is just the person reminding us of this knowing, that naturally is within us all.

  184. Doesn’t the body speak clearly – well listened LM, goodbye dairy for many = goodbye asthma. Dairy left me feeling acidic, devitalised, heavy, clogged up and with a constant postnasal drip – very glad to have left it behind. What was interesting for me was that whilst having dairy my calcium count was so low and the acidity in my body was found to be stripping my bones of needed minerals to counter the acidity – and now without dairy, and having more easily bioavailable calcium sources like seaweed, it is back up and stable. There seems to be a bit of a lie we are being sold by the dairy industry and goverments who are so invested in the industry profits. Makes me stop and wonder where we went of track when life is not about people anymore.

  185. In my old life, I felt that doing what everyone else does was normal and I didn’t question the food I ate, didn’t question the bloating and weight that I put on, the lack of a restful nights sleep – the list could go on. We have much to appreciate about ourselves that had us go to a Serge Benhayon presentation and what we took away from that presentation that had us look at ourselves in a completely different way: that there is a different to live life!

  186. I fully agree with “my awareness of my body’s functions is becoming amazingly sharp”. Thank you LM in Canada for writing this.

  187. It was like this for me too. It was like Serge was presenting things in such a simple and down-to-earth way. It was like he was saying the things I have felt for ages but never honoured. So very empowering to take this away and feel inspired to re-claim my true truth in my every day life.

  188. It is strange isn’t it how we eat foods that are not good for us, know they are not good for us, eventually stop eating them and then look back and wonder how we ever used to eat those foods because we feel so much more alive now.

    1. Totally agree Elizabeth, it’s quite absurd what we do to our bodies having very clear knowledge about the possible harm that it is causing. And not only the knowledge we feel it so clearly in our bodies and just decide to override it. And yes the vitality that I feel today by living from my body and not off my body is absolute!!!

    2. Great observation Elizabeth. It just seems to be an ongoing process of mind verses body. I continually ‘talk myself into’ making it okay to eat food that my body doesn’t really want. But we do slowly get there, step by step.

    3. Wow! Spot on Elizabeth, the things I used to put into my body and the feelings that allowed me to do that are no longer part of who I am thanks to the presentations of Serge Benhayon. As a simple examples if I now smell cigarette smoke it makes me feel sick, and even a hint of sugar or sweetener in food smash me, which is very similar to a hang over.

  189. It took me awhile to make the commitment to change my old habits that were holding me back. Once I did, my awareness to how much food affects me was heightened. I am now making changes according to what my body needs. I am learning to make more loving choices everyday.

  190. What an awesome feeling – to feel alive. So many people don’t feel like this and have to drag themselves through the day. It is easy when we work with our body rather than against it

  191. This has also been my experience. The first workshop I attended I walked out saying ‘that man is speaking my language!’. How amazingly true that statement was as 7 years on I feel more like myself than I have in a very, very long time. The ‘language’ Serge Benhayon speaks is the language of the heart and it speaks to all equally. It is what we do with it after we have heard it that makes all the difference. Thank you for this blog, it is very simple and so very powerful.

    1. Totally – when I attended my first presentation by Serge I remember thinking – thank god finally something that makes sense, and finally someone is saying everything I’ve always felt.

      1. Yes, Meg, I find that every presentation I attend with Serge Benhayon always makes complete sense and expands my understanding of life in so many different ways.

  192. The truth Serge Benhayon presents is equally in us and that is the beauty with him, that he helps us to remind and reconnect to the same source he is connected to. He shares his connection with this truth with us because we have forgotten and lost our connection with this a long time ago.

  193. I follow many comments before me and most likely many more after me….Serge is the real deal and speaks the truth. How do I know that? Because my whole body nods when he talks. I have lost count of all the a-ha moments in listening to this great man. He just makes great sense of all the complexities that we as the human race have made life out to be.

    1. ‘…my whole body nods when he talks” – I love that! And so does mine. And you’re equally correct about Serge Benhayon making sense of all the complexities of life we’ve created. I’ve never understood so much about so much!

  194. I had a similar experience to you LM. It was a revelation for me to hear simple common sense spoken from the heart. Though I didn’t ‘get’ a lot of it at the time, I sensed it was true and continued to listen to what he had to say. I am so glad I did today. It is gorgeous to see so many people, like you here, beginning speaking from the heart too. Serge Benhayon is the real deal and an amazing role model for us all.

  195. How easy it is to make changes for the better! And it was not before I got in contact with Universal Medicine, that I really had proof of this ease. With Hatha-Yoga, Sweat-Lodges and many other things I tried they always said “It was easy”, but the experience for my body was hard.

  196. When I first listened to Serge Benhayon and what he presented it changed my life. I know it’s the truth and although it can be challenging at times, I learnt to take responsibility for all my choices I made, including the food I eat and how my body is feeling – something that is certainly work in progress for me.

  197. I too found when I attended my first workshop with Universal Medicine, and heard Serge Benhayon present, that I felt the truth in what he was saying. It took me a few years to truly allow myself to feel the absoluteness of the Truth I was hearing and feeling, but now 8 years later, I know, without a doubt know that what is presented by Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon is the Absolute Truth and my life has changed insurmountably because I have allowed myself to re-connect to this absolute truth within me. The changes I have made have come from this re-connection and the support of Universal Medicine, Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine practitioners and the ‘student body’.

  198. I used to have asthma too, but since making changes to my food choices and giving up diary completely, along with healing old issues that were probably the trigger and part of the whole bigger picture, asthma is a thing of the past.

  199. Serge Benhayon has inspired me to make many changes in my life, listening to my body and what I feel is my guide for this and with my food choices.

  200. LM it’s great to see and read what the effects are when you listen to your body and eat what feels to support you instead of something that gives the quick fix to the exhaustion so many of us live with. I also felt the difference what I put in my mouth makes to how I feel after the meal and for quite a long time after that. It’s these simple and practical actions that change how we feel in and about life.

  201. My contact with Serge Benahyon through listening to audio, watching webcasts and attending Universal Medicine workshops, has supported me with many life choices that have brought a genuine quality of divineness to my life that I had been seeking. Sometimes it has taken me a while to understand what has been presented, but I love the moments when the ‘penny drops’ and I get to feel the expansion and lightness in my body. The next step in my work then awaits me in an never ending unfolding process.

  202. Thank you LM for the simplicity of how we can have a profound impact on our health and wellbeing by listening to our body’s little messages and follow its loving guidance.

  203. Eliminating dairy was the most wonderful thing I could have ever done for my body.
    As a child I loathed milk, but lived in a family for whom “dairy is good for you” was a mantra. So I drank lots of milk (urgh) and ate lots of cheese (yum!). I also suffered constant sinusitis, post nasal drip and asthma that had me hospitalised on many occasions. Fast forward to 2007 and meeting Serge Benhayon. I started to acknowledge that what I was eating was not working so well for me. A hearty goodbye was said to all things dairy – including the cheese.
    With no intention to fix the breathing I noticed over the next 6 months that the sinuses cleared, the dripping ceased and the asthma that has required me to always carry a puffer had gone…yes completely gone. My gut cramps had stopped – in fact I had not noticed how bad they were until they went away.
    Asthma free for 7+ years.
    And now for the gluten…….

    1. Wow Rachel,
      The same happened for me. A life time of sinus and ear infections from a very early age. I can remember going regularly to have my ears syringed and loved it, because I could then hear again. Then I contracted asthma at the age of 21. All of this disappeared when I eliminated gluten and dairy from my life. One little difference growing up my Grandma milked three cows a day keeping my family, my uncles family and her and grandad in milk. Three cows a day, milk was laid on in our home and I loved it. I must say I don’t miss it now, the thought of drinking a glass makes my tummy turn. What I do love is breathing.

      1. Hey leighstrack – love your: ‘What I do love is breathing’.
        I also had have Asthma and it is gone after 2 years of attending Universal Medicine courses and changing my lifestyle- and food-choices.
        I do love breathing too (yum!).

  204. I had a similar experience from listening to audio presentations by Universal Medicine. I gave up drinking alcohol 3 years ago after listening to the talks. It was such a natural step to do so, as having considered it before, it wasn’t until I heard these common sense presentations, that I became more aware of my body and made the choice to stop drinking.

  205. I pay attention to me for me, and I feel more alive because of this. A loving thing to do, with a great outcome … my body is always giving guidance.

  206. I too find that the awareness of my body is becoming sharper, and this has the added benefit of making me more aware of what is affecting my body – be that people, places, things, or decisions. I am developing a radar for what feels right, and what I need to stop allowing.

  207. A great comment Victoria – I too have felt ‘more alive’ as I am getting older, and the reason is that slowly but surely I am relearning how to look after my body, to honour it in a way that I feel better, not worse, the next day. It almost feels like I’m getting younger!

    1. Undoubtedly, there are now many people who can attest to the same ‘aliveness’, the deeper we go in truly knowing how to love ourselves, and all others. Reading this blog again today, and the comment I’d made in 2012, I realise today, more of the beauty that is offered to our children – simply in us being this way.
      And that the generations are indeed changing before our eyes!

  208. I found also that giving up gluten, dairy and sugar (which I did a few years before I met Universal Medicine because I knew they were affecting my body in damaging ways), benefited my body and health. I have also found, since becoming a student of Universal Medicine and beginning to feel the love inside me that expands and heals, the more I learn to listen to myself and my body I am shown how other foods may also be damaging to me; and that some of them cause asthma like symptoms – and then I know I no longer need them. It is like a personal refining process on all levels.

  209. Thank you LM for sharing the positive changes you have experienced since hearing Serge Benhayon present. I can really relate to ‘I am taking much better care of my body and being responsible for me and my feelings’ not only do I now live with a much healthier and more vital body but I am also taking responsibility for me and my feelings rather than feeling a victim of life and blaming other people for this.

  210. Thank you LM. Since coming to Universal Medicine my awareness has also sharpened. I am now listening much more to the messages from body; my food intake has changed a lot from this as I really allow my body to be my guide with what food is supporting me and what isn’t.

  211. Thank you LM for sharing, I also had asthma and was using an inhaler for years off and on but since attending Universal Medicine workshops and presentations, and by making more supportive choices for my body and health, I no longer need the inhaler or to keep one around just in case.

  212. Hello LM, it’s beautiful to read how just one choice to attend a presentation by Serge Benhayon,changed your life and resulted in all the wonderful benefitical choices you are now making that support your wellbeing.

  213. Lovely blog, a great expression and statement of how you have felt supported and inspired by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. I have had a similar experience. Thank you.

  214. Hi LM, it’s very true that with a change in diet it has allowed me to also be much more in touch with how my body is feeling rather than the regular feeling of being bloated and lethargic.

  215. Thanks LM. When I used to drink milk it used to glug around in my stomach. I also used to have sinusitis, rhinitis, winter hay fever and snore horrendously. Since listening to my body more after being inspired to do so by Serge Benhayon, I no longer suffer with these ailments.

  216. That is very inspiring and empowering. It puts simply and clearly that it is what we choose that makes the difference. We can choose to buy and eat food and drink that doesn’t make us feel good or we can choose food and drink that represents what our body chooses and feels right for us. It is our choice the whole time. Thank you for sharing.

  217. This so well expressed, Rachel. Our bodies are such amazing barometers of our state of being if we would only listen. Society would be in such a different, more harmonious place if we were supported and acknowledged in this when young, because that is what children do naturally.

    1. Yes, it is important that we give children the space to communicate with words what is happening for them and their bodies and honour what they are telling us. Children are aware of what is happening in their bodies but if they are not encouraged to acknowledge it or to regard it, then they quickly learn their bodies are of no value, they are of no value and so begins the same cycle with the next generation living in disregard ignoring the often loud messages the body is communicating.

  218. LM your article makes so much sense, our bodies always tell the truth and, if we listen to it, knows what food supports us and what food harms us. My relationship with food is still very much a work in progress as I listen more and more to what it says to me. Thanks for sharing.

  219. So simply and powerfully put. In that we always have a choice, and if we listen to our bodies before our cravings, it offers huge support.
    Its so common to indulge in food, drink, staying out late. But living in a way that simply lets us listen to our bodies and make choices from that – is a game-changer.

  220. It’s interesting how so often people look at food allergies or intolerance as a burden, when it could simply be a blessing because our bodies are trying to tell us not to eat something that is harming it. When I used to eat dairy, and ice cream in particular, I would get awful digestive problems and feel like a balloon was in my stomach. But I over-rode that just for the momentary numbing or comfort of it that never lasted, hence the need for more later. So it’s cool that you felt how dairy affected you early on LM, and made the loving choice to change your diet accordingly.

    1. I agree Michael. It seems crazy that we would try to continue eating something when it so obviously doesn’t feel good after eating it. My body gives me these messages all the time. Thank you for such a simple blog LM.

  221. I love the simplicity of your blog – our food choices can really be that simple if we are willing to be aware and honest about their effects on our body.

  222. It is great that you were able to feel for yourself that dairy left you feeling asthmatic and affected your lungs, and even better that you decided to cut them out. There is a lot of evidence out there to show that dairy effects the respiratory system, and yet it is still very common to continue to consume it at our bodies expense. Sharing your experience is a great inspiration for others to experiment with making this change too.

  223. I have felt this too Victoria, “feeling more alive”, I also feel more naturally, and consistently joyful, and I agree how amazing and supportive that we can say to our children, ‘that loving oneself in one’s choice can result in a deeper, richer, more consistent and joyful living of life’.

  224. Thank you for sharing LM and what you say makes so much sense.
    I was always bloated and called it a ‘bread belly’. The power of choice is amazing and I had no idea that I was responsible for how I felt until I came across the teachings of Serge Benhayon.
    Like you the awareness of my body has become amazingly sharp and now I cannot ignore it and I finally have what I call a true relationship with my body. For me it is the number one relationship in my life as it is with me in every moment until the day I die and my job is to ensure I take deep care of it and love it to the bone!

  225. Thank you LM. This is just what I needed today….a powerful reminder to be super aware of what I choose to put into my body knowing that it will mean a light and vital me…or not.

  226. This is so true. Building awareness to our body is life changing. It does not lie but speaks loud and clear when we are willing to listen. It is a wonderful conversation that brings awareness care and love to our daily lives.

  227. Yes I too, like so many others, have found listening to my body’s responses so beneficial and feel so much more in harmony with myself. To that I owe deep appreciation to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.

  228. Lovely to read how “I am taking much better care of my body”, I have found how powerful these simple changes in diet can be, if I eat something that’s too sweet or if I eat too much my body instantly feels tired and dull, and If I don’t override the feeling that I have had enough food or that something is too sweet for me then my body also feels “more alive”.

  229. I too have seen dramatic benefits to my health since making choices to look after myself, including no longer suffering from asthma, sinusitis, hay fever! Which I have to say is so awesome and completely inspired by Serge Benhayon’s simple presentations of how loving your body and listening to your body can bring about loving changes.

  230. It seems so simple when I read it in your blog – to become aware of what we are eating and how it makes us feel. And like you, I’ve experienced how that simple choice, day by day, has a profound effect on how I feel.
