1. “The way they lived just inspired me”, is absolutely spot on. The students are far from being perfect but then again, who’s perfection are we living from?

   Every student I have met, there is something inspiring and a take away for my own learning. And it is a quality that is the inspiration. That is the reflection that Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and their practitioners present. I much rather be met with that quality than the life you presented when you lived a different quality of life.

2. This statement inspired me, ‘I have not suddenly “got it” and am not perfect, I am constantly willing to work on myself and be honest and gentle with my own personal development. I now realise that first we have to make the changes in ourselves, to love ourselves first’. It reveals to me that there is no perfection and when we match it to being perfect then we have used an image to compare ourselves with or a parameter that has been set by someone/something else.

   Serge Benhayon inspires and has zero judgment on anyone who continues with their behaviours, addictions, whatever you want to call them. He simply present the truth and loves no matter. The key is how we receive this that makes the difference to how we either react or respond – it is that simple.

   1. Ah that word perfection! Yes it is something that ruins many as with perfection, there is always an image that needs to be met. When that image isn’t met, then disappointment steps into our lives and then devastation, annihilation and so the cycle continues.

      The choice? Allow it to continue or you wake up and realise that this isn’t it and we still have that choice to choose another way of living.

3. There is great power in living lovingly – this does not require one to be perfect nor to never have made any ‘mistakes’ – but rather if we have lived something that has been a ‘mistake’ or perhaps even ‘disastrous’ the strength that we can draw from this is to not do it again and hence we set a role model in living and saying ‘I have been there and done that and would never do it again’. This is true power.

   1. We get attached to that word, perfect and from there we are the ones who become the end product, victims or rag dolls constantly being used and abused. But often, we are offered a learning and when we don’t get it, then life simply offers it to us again, later down the track.

4. When we make a choice to change and lovingly so, proof is in the pudding – in other words when our intent for loving change is true and steady there is no denying the love that we then can allow in our lives and for all to see.

5. It’s inspiring to read how what was presented from your practitioner, Serge Benhayon and the other esoteric students was taken on board if it felt right for the author. Especially, as often we go along with things without fully discerning what we are letting ourselves in for and then later on find out that we let ourselves be influenced in a harmful way – such as getting into smoking weed.

6. What an incredible story, this is a true miracle.

7. ‘The taking responsibility part was hard because I had always preferred to blame someone else and not deal with anything.’ So inspiring that you did, because in reality I don’t think many of us really do take responsibility for our hurts and can hold on to blame our entire lives.

8. This is truly incredible wow, wow, and wow.

   What a transformation and a true testament to the wonderful work of universal medicine and Serge Benhayon.

9. “The point is, I did not like how life was and the only way I enjoyed life was if I was stoned and numb.” I can relate to this, I don’t do drugs, but I still have the feeling of wanting to numb myself in other ways, maybe with food or emotions, because life as it is feels intense. There are so many things going on in the world that are not true, even when something looks good on the surface it might be rotten underneath. In one way it confirms how much we do know to be the truth, but the other side is learning to observe it all, and to handle ourselves gently and lovingly when we are unsettled.

10. What a massive turn around of your life, so inspiring, ‘I had to take responsibility and realise, that the only person that could change things now was me. As an adult there was no point in blaming my parents or past relationships. The taking responsibility part was hard because I had always preferred to blame someone else and not deal with anything.’

    1. I agree Lorraine, it’s a very inspiring story and the quote you have selected highlights beautifully that our power to change our lives lies in our taking responsibility.

11. What an amazing turnaround, I must say that I had a similar experience and people are usually blown away. Because in many cases, drug habits are hard to let go of as well as the lifestyle that goes with it.

12. 100’s of people who meet Serge Benhayon have had major life changes since meeting him, this man is literally a God Send!

13. A very inspiring story. I can feel how you have empowered yourself and claimed a life that supports you and supposedly your child. It reminds me too of a time when I was drinking alcohol and very occasionally taking recreational drugs and did not consider the energetic harm that these substances could cause, the consequences of which could be passed on, as a health practitioner, to my clients. When I came to Universal Medicine I was still drinking alcohol but becoming more aware of its effects energetically. I have since dropped this habit. I can say that it is one of the best things I have done for myself all round.

14. The changes seem to happen when we make that decision to love ourselves first by being honest about our choices and being gentle rather than being ‘tough’
    For many of us this is not easy because of the way we have been conditioned as we grow up. It’s like we go into survival mode when young just to get by in life and this then impacts every choice we make from then on.

15. “I smoked cigarettes too and thought they were bad for me but the weed was okay. ” This is the crazy illusion we are under. We make choices that suit our life and then make them our reality rather than feeling the truth, that taking or smoking any substance that dulls or pacifies us or take us away form being our amazing selves, is showing us that something in our life is not right. Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon are our wake up call. Serge has such a depth of understanding of life that by presenting the truth and the Way it truly is we are able to see through the illusionary ways we choose to cope with life.

16. True and lasting change is not always that easy to make in life. Most of the time, we make choices and think we are making changes, but really it is not a true change for the better. A bit like watching some of our neighbours being inspired to rip out all the plants in their front yard and re-landscape it as it was so messy and disjointed looking – but then the re-planted almost the same things in there again. It makes me wonder why they did what they did? When we are caught up in certain things it can be hard to see beyond these things and be truly free to make a change that actually supports us out of that rutt we are stuck in. Serge Benhayon is a master magician in that he supports you to understand what is going on as an energetic game that wants to keep you in the rutt rather than being free of it and being free to express all of you naturally so – this is why he is so inspiring, because with each change that is true, it is there to support you but also calls you to a deeper responsibility in life and hence allows the growth and the evolution in the true sense of the word. Why we are here.

17. So beautiful to read how you have changed your life around Anonymous – and this is testament to the inspiration that Serge Benhayon and the Universal Medicine therapies bring to everyone. If we want our lives to change we cannot sit there like ducks waiting for it to happen, we need to actively take part in making those changes – and the key in this is the choices we make in life. You were open and willing to have the right support to help you change things, but in the end it was your choice and your choices that allowed you to be where you are today. And hence amazingly inspire others including me endlessly. Thank you and keep it up!

    1. These changes in Anonymous’s way of living, and being, are testament to Serge Benhayon and the Universal Medicine therapies, as well as Anonymous’s commitment to self and making new loving choices; very inspiring.

18. What an amazing story. So many incredible, true changes. Many of us seek to ‘change’ our life but really, often it’s the details that look different, but the texture remains the same so we keep seeking. What feels so beautiful in your story is how you recognized something, a quality, in your friend and started to take baby steps just as and when you were ready. No imposing, no pushing, but genuine yearning to return to who you are.

19. The article describes a huge change in 3 1/2 years. Most of us struggle to let go of our coping mechanisms, yet if your body is healing and you are letting go of the past there is no longer the need for band-aids.

    1. Agreed Fiona – massive changes in only 3 years and a bit – enough for most people in a lfe-time to say ‘enough’ and yet here she is asking for more. Very inspiring indeed.

20. It is a cracker to realise this – “that the only person that could change things now was me.”

    1. Thank you Sarah – it certainly is a funny situation when we realise that we are the creators of our own mess so to speak, and that it really is up to us to make the change.

21. I have done a Chakra-puncture detox program and it are totally life transforming in that you get an opportunity to feel and know on a very deep level who you are and from there you start to naturally want to make more loving choices for yourself.

    1. Yes, I have just finished a Chakra Puncture Detox Programme too – over the weeks I have been slowly changing the way I live – it’s like I am detoxing my house and my environs, I am bringing order and harmony where there was much less before. I have lost al little of my excess weight and I feel clearer and have more energy. I also feel steadier in my self and am appreciating myself more.

22. What I love about Serge Benhayon is that he has no investment in changing people –never telling anyone what to do, only sharing the energetic effects of every choice we make for us to reflect upon if we choose to. This has supported me to bring a stop to the old way of constantly numbing myself out with dire food choices and developed the awareness to really feel the constant communication from the body, that reveals what is not serving it.
    “I am not part of a cult. I make my own choices. I do not take on everything that Serge Benhayon presents, I do what feels right for me”.

23. Attending presentations and courses by Serge Benhayon has offered the opportunity to stop running away from the pain of past hurts that I did not want to feel. The wisest choice ever made, was to continue attending these events and enjoying the deep changes that continue to bring more honesty, understanding, awareness and responsible living every day.
    “But this time I decided not to run, not to be ashamed of my past, but to be honest and open to the possibility that there was a lot there for me to learn from”.

24. The power of reflection is the best mentorship we could ever want for; it leaves the recipient free to say yes or no according to where they are at and does not come with any attachments or sticky stuff.

    1. Words of Gold Gabriele and ones that I will take in with me for the day: “The power of reflection is the best mentorship we could ever want for; it leaves the recipient free to say yes or no according to where they are at and does not come with any attachments or sticky stuff.”

25. Such a refreshingly honest blog about how we can evolve if we take responsibility for our choices and deal with our hurts.

26. When we go down, we have to make sure that there is no detail left that could help us to change gears. Everything has to resonate deeply with where do we wish to go so when we get there, we can stay.

27. True change is inspired by us seeing someone who has done it, realizing that it is possible even when it may be challenging, that there is a different way we may not know how to walk yet but when someone else can do it so I can I. No one can make anyone do anything, not really, and it is free will and acceptance that gives us space to not feel imposed, controlled or manipulated but invited to consider other options. Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine are offering ‘options’ by presenting a living way, never ever do they impose or expect anything but always asking and supporting everyone to make their own choices.

28. ‘The taking responsibility part was hard because I had always preferred to blame someone else and not deal with anything.’ This seems to be our first human response to life doesn’t it? It’s much easier to blame someone else rather than take responsibility for our own choices and reactions. I know, for myself getting really honest is something that I avoid as I don’t wan’t to feel the deep discomfort of the truth.

29. You cannot tell someone changes like this are a lie or without evidence. When our life turns around and is transformed we know without doubt.

    1. And it is there for all to see, whether it makes others uncomfortable or not. And it is only from that discomfort and ensuing reaction that the lies and innuendo can pour out.

30. Like you I used to be able to defend marijuana as the healthier option than smoking cigarettes, and yet if I look at the mental health problems that a number of my friends suffered as a result of their paranoia and many of the other side effects I was blindly ignoring at the time, I can see how delusional I was. The way I justified it… well that is simply because I did not want to look at it, but it is a major cause for concern that there are so many people (and science too) who champion it, suggest there are medical benefits etc, all of which help it to become more normal, to become decriminalised, to become legal even. Absolutely crazy – like have cigarettes (which we know will kill you) being legal!

31. It is not easy to find modalities and practitioners that do support you to truly heal (release) unnecessary tension held in the body.

    1. And when you do, not even the worlds greatest healer can free you completely from something you are not yet ready or completely willing to release. Step by step you can be supported and immensely inspired to step out of cycles of abuse.

32. ‘I now realise that first we have to make the changes in ourselves, to love ourselves first.’ It all starts with this otherwise we are constantly seeking love from outside and others which never works. It ultimately all begins with us and the choice we make to choose love, without perfection, in each and every moment. And the more we do this the more the love supports us to be more love. Then everything else changes.

33. It is so beautiful to read how you were inspired by the quality of another’s living and now you equally are an inspiration by living more fully who you truly are.

34. This to me is the kind of story that the media ought to be reporting on, a story where someone completely turns their life around as it is deeply inspiring.

35. Anonymous, your post is awe-inspiring and I love feeling your power and strength in how you now live your life given your felt-appreciation of Universal Medicine, and all those esoteric practitioners and other people you have met along the way that have been pivotal in your transformation. As the saying goes, the horse can be taken to the water but it itself must be the one that takes the first sip to experience the refreshing aftertaste.

36. I would never have believed that my life could change in the way that it has thanks to Universal Medicine, Serge Benhayon and all the practitioners who practice these modalities. It is extraordinary what is possible when we are offered, and then choose to take the opportunity to look at the way that we have been living and realise that we are not going anywhere, but instead change the direction of our path to one of true purpose, committment to life, and to love.

37. How inspiring to hear how you’ve turned your life around and I love your deep honesty and practicality in how you note that this has been a process not an instant fix but how if we’re willing to look and take responsibility there is so much that can unfold for us and those changes, small ones too cause a huge ripple effect well beyond what we often expect.

    1. Step by step, with no short cuts, we can return to who we are no matter how far we have strayed.

38. “I am a follower – a follower of love wherever that leads – and by love I mean love in the true meaning of the word”. I love this Nicola, as love is worth following.

39. The power of Esoteric Chakra-puncture is immense, and I look forward to seeing this powerful modality available everywhere.

40. It is a miracle the changes you have made in life yet it is something we can all equally do the more we claim and live the love that we are. Most of us as we age go in the reverse slowly take on more and become decrepid whereas it has been the opposite for yourself as it has been with so many other students of Universal Medicine who have chosen to recommit in full to life and living the love that they are. There is no comparison to how life used to be and is now – it is like chalk and cheese and great to expose quite how entrenched so many of us were, have been and are.

41. What a great testimonial to the author and the teachings of Universal Medicine. When you think we spend a lifetime trashing ourselves and within three and a half years in this person’s life, so many changes have been made.

42. What a fantastic turnaround. Our bodies are so generous – it is amazing just how much we can abuse them and then come back and out of it. Choosing love is so much more powerful than choosing to harm.

43. We so often override the truth that we know that when we are presented with truth it is difficult to take it in, yet the more truth we hear the easier it becomes, because we start to feel the difference in our body, and then know we can settle for nothing less than truth.

44. Great to share your experiences, Universal Medicine is at the forefront of true health and well-being. I have not found another organisation like it. The courses are amazing and I learn so much and it is practical and simple to put into every day life with real changes to support me.

45. A testimonial of Universal Medicine right there. Many changes that are permanent. That was written back in 2012. So much changes as a committed Universal Medicine student in a year these days. I am testimony to that too. Maybe an update in a comment Anonymous. Flying from A to B these days Anonymous HaHa !

46. Very inspirational blog, it’s a huge thing to turn ones life around like you have, and I noted the support the Universal Medicine Therapy Chakra-Puncture gave you, it is a truly amazing modality. I have also recently had my first Chakra-Puncture detox program and it has been a transformational and a very enjoyable experience.

47. One of the key tenets of the teachings of Universal Medicine is we all continue to evolve, and that evolution is in no way a bad or critical thing, but the path of walking back to living as the essence of who we truly are.

48. Humans have a unique fascinating capacity to construct a sense of ‘normal and fine’ that justifies itself in the name of what is not part of my choices but does turn a blind eye regarding what is the core of what I choose that is neither normal nor fine.

49. I have found Esoteric Chakra-puncture to be a powerful support when willing to make changes in my own life. It supports and strengthens that inner conviction thereby making further change is possible, whilst revitalising the physical body, enhancing and strengthening a feeling of well-being.

50. It is amazing, this sliding scale of what is considered alright because it is not cocaine or heroin. It highlights a way of thinking that is measured and reduces the truth in to suitable nuggets that can be tossed around and placed wherever we please, so long as they fit the picture of what we are trying to achieve.

51. No matter our background, abuse, drug use, lack of care etc, there comes a point where all this is still an experience that can support us IF we can turn our lives around and be a role model for others. And this is what you have done Anon, in terms of making true and lasting change in your life. Because you have lived this change and can say ‘this is where I have come from’, it gives true power and authority showing that change is possible and can be appreciated deeply. Well done once again, and this time for being the role model that so many in society are very much in need of, by now living an open, honest life that is caring and true.

52. Gorgeous sharing Anon, and it shows that we can indeed turn our lives around completely no matter how much we have been through. The support was there, but this is also because you were ready and willing to begin to make a change in your life. A real inspiration to read – thank you!

53. ‘I have not suddenly “got it” and am not perfect, I am constantly willing to work on myself and be honest and gentle with my own personal development. I now realise that first we have to make the changes in ourselves, to love ourselves first. ‘ This is so key for all of us to realise, accept and appreciate within ourselves – otherwise we are constantly trying to get somewhere and so can get caught up in the struggle and the pictures of how things could or should be rather than appreciating and seeing that we have it all with us and before us we just need to surrender to it and claim it.

    1. Well said James! We can be so governed by pictures or images of how it should or should not be, and in that we get lost to the blessing that actually presents. Appreciation of who we are and all about us is key, as is the willingess to see outside the box so to speak and hence be open to change. The truth lies within us all, but sometimes we forget this or have trouble feeling this, so it is great to be reminded of it!

       1. Beautiful Henrietta – ‘The truth lies within us all’ lest we not ever forget this immutable truth and put stop to the eternal outward seeking.

54. Wow what a turn around from taking drugs to living a life with full responsibility! – of course you are an inspiration and it is wonderful to read how you are magnetically pull your friends and family around you to change their lives as well without being imposing or try to change them. To let oneself be and also the others without judgment is really worth it to bring into our lives in every second.

55. When we recommend or are recommended to make changes or live a healthier life by someone who isn’t actually living that themselves then it’s like we’re just hearing empty words as opposed to the truly inspiring reflection of someone who is making steps along the path back to who they truly are, to deepening the care they bring to their body, life and relationships, which gives us a real reflection of the words in action.

56. When truth is presented and received, great changes can be done in our life

57. Amazing sharing Anonymous- so many people will relate to what you have shared. The use of drugs, food, technology or whatever else one may use to numb is something familiar to most human beings. To take steps away from this and towards truth is something that is worth celebrating and sharing.

58. A wonderful and inspiring story how fulfilment in life comes from connecting, accepting and living from one’s truth no matter what one has done or how one lived in the past.

59. ” I go to bed early and wake every day with energy and excitement of the new day ” This is so wonderful and so beautiful to read thank you.

60. A story well worth telling.

61. What a turnaround Anonymous. “After 18 years of being a vegetarian, I have felt that it is better for my body to have a small amount of meat” – listening to the body in what nourishment it needs (over a mind ideal) is listening to love.

62. What I love about Universal Medicine is that they never impose anything onto anyone but because of what the teachings are that are presented many people resurrect themselves out of very difficult situations by their own choice because they are inspired to know they are able to do so. Like you stopping smoking and getting a job by you own choice is super inspiring – when you inspire people that there is a greater way to live by living that yourself you don’t need to preach other to change.

    1. So true, Lieke, the greatest form of teaching than by example.

63. Chakra-puncture is a super supportive modality – the way it helps us to reconnect with an innate vitality and harmonious flow that gives us a marker for everything in our life to calibrate with and see if what we’re choosing is really true for us, so harming behaviours can stand out more and be naturally easier to let go of.

64. Yes rules imposed on us from outside feel constrictive where as learning to live from the wisdom of your body and experience and observation is a very different and very liberating thing.

65. What a transformation you have made in your life anonymous – from living off the benefit or system to completely committing to healing yourself and all that holds you back from living your potential. Go you.

66. Brilliant sharing Anonymous, how many people do you know who tell other people to be a certain way but continue to do what they recommend against themselves each day? Aside from the dropping of serious drug addictions, the ceasing of this hypocritical lecturing is a massive shift that we can all benefit from. Wow, Chakra Puncture is amazing to support us to make such a huge change.

67. “I had to take responsibility and realise, that the only person that could change things now was me.” Seeing that we play the major role in our lives and the choices we make brings us back to honesty and we begin to see where our patterns, beliefs, hurts and ideals lie and how we are the ones that can inevitably shift the paradigm and return to the simplicity of our bodies wisdom and learn to live connected to them and not in reacting to what they are truly revealing. A super inspiring blog Anonymous thank you.

68. This is incredible, to see the scale of which drugs like marijuana can affect you but also how at any point life can be transformed/turned around through dedication, commitment and support. The transformation you’ve described is absolutely inspiring.

69. I wonder how many people can genuinely say that they enjoy their life in this day, on this planet. We all seem to have something to get us through our days – be it coffee, alcohol, drug, sweets, sports, hobbies many things we claim that we love and we try very hard to find a balancing sport in all that trying to convince ourselves that our life is ok. Allowing ourselves to feel and admit what is truly going on is a big, humbling step, and I find Esoteric healing modalities great support in that process, as it allows us to connect to the fundamental truth of us as love so that our honesty is just that, no judgment, guilt or shame.

70. The way I have changed since my first Universal Medicine workshop is just huge, today I sit here in contempt, feeling steady and much, much more secure in myself than I have ever been. I am not numb to the anxiousness that runs through my body, but I am able to work on it and dissolve it when I feel it rising up. I know who I am, I know there is more to life than what we may perceive and I know that through studying the precious teachings presented by Serge Benhayon I will develop this knowing deeper and deeper. Universal Medicine is anything but a cult, it’s a health and well-being organisation like no other, it brings vitality, joy, magic, and love in the lives of ordinary people.

71. Wow what a difference in you committing to life and wanting to be part of it rather than withdrawing. As you have shared, there are so many solutions for us to check out from life- and it is very easy to do – but the question comes back to how are we willing to live and at what quality or cost.

72. It’s very beautiful to be held in such simple love and acceptance with complete understanding by another. It can feel like a miracle when the walls of protection and fear start to fall away simply by being held in love and equalness.

73. Absolutely, starting to be loving and caring with self are important first steps, ‘I am constantly willing to work on myself and be honest and gentle with my own personal development. I now realise that first we have to make the changes in ourselves, to love ourselves first.’

74. “the only way I enjoyed life was if I was stoned and numb”, this could be said of any substance that can take us out, numb life away, or fool us into thinking that we enjoy life when we have it – when in fact we are not enjoying life, we are desperately seeking to not know life, trying to kill the awareness of what we actually know to be true, and what we know to be complete lies.

75. It really stood out to me from your blog just how easily we can justify our ill behaviour, for example smoking marijuana. We can justify anything and everything with our mind, which ultimately is cold and heartless whereas if we use our body to inform us we can feel just how harming something like marijuana is.

76. I used to think I was ok because I have never used drugs and never wanted to. But I did drink alcohol, fairly heavily in my twenties and overate on a daily basis. I had my ways of numbing myself to life so I didn’t have to feel too. With the support of Serge Benhayon and his presentations and courses, I have come to understand myself and life so much more truly and now, rather than avoid those so-called ‘bad’ feelings, I see that there is something to be understood and opened up to, a new level of awareness to embrace. It is a wonderful way to live and be in life and means that there is opportunity in every day.

77. When I met someone who was an esoteric student I was really intrigued as I had a quite a love for the philosophy of life and deconstructing why things don’t make sense in our human life – then I was blown away to learn about all the esoteric offered me, that indeed the freedom, absoluteness and unhindered joy for life still existed underneath all of the layers we take on when we go through school and generally growing up, it brought all of the aspects into one, philosophy, healing, medicine, religion and science.

78. From reading this article I feel the true grace in loving another and allowing each person to come to their own healing.

79. Your changes are truly inspirational and many can take heart from your lived example!

80. Living a life that is fundamentally from being connected to yourself is a daily way, and it is only through that daily application of choices inspired from within that a new way evolves.

81. Very inspirational blog Anonymous, it takes enormous commitment and dedication to turn your life around like you have and then to keep deepening and developing like you are, continually saying what’s next. Many people change and then rest on their laurels but not you, you just keep on deepening your connection with the all.

82. Of much inspiration from this article, today what has touched me is the ‘being honest and gentle’ with ourselves as we endlessly learn… it is from here that I have the humility and respect for myself to be open to all that is on offer.

    1. That is the thing, we don’t ever just get it and have it all…. we are always learning, every moment, and its okay if it takes a little longer at times, we wouldn’t get mad at a child while they are learning, and we need to bring that level of care to ourselves too and to others.

83. I spent yesterday checking out, not really wanting to be bothered by much, and not bothering much. An old school day term, I ‘bludged my day through’ as I did the bare minimum. You are right, it does not feel very nice, my body feels heavy and lethargic today. Compared to the days when I am on purpose and checked right in, and my body feels vital and engaged. It is all a choice isn’t it?

    1. I so know what you mean. I tried to hang out with some friends the other day, and after watching one movie and doing nothing for most of the day as well as eating snacks that didn’t support me, I felt so lethargic and realised that for me, I need purpose, connection and sitting in front of a screen, watching a movie that doesn’t teach me anything just doesn’t do it for me.

84. What I love about your honesty Anonymous is that every choice you made to bring a deeper understanding and clarity around how you lived your life prior to finding Universal Medicine was all found from the connection to your body. That is so very inspiring and shows that our bodies will never give up, they will patiently wait for us to listen intently to what is being shared and we can move in rhythm with our bodies to deepen that relationship as we move with life. Thank you for sharing this is beautiful.

85. With openness and honesty we can move mountains, well I cant physically but I have healed so much because I stopped playing dumb and stopped pretending and just go real honest and REAL.

86. This is something that so few practitioners consider – how they are living their own lives and the energy that is therefore being passed on to their clients. We can hardly expect healing for another when we are yet to heal such issues in ourselves. The Esoteric Practitioners Association is leading the way, globally in energetic integrity with ethics of a divine order.

87. When I go to the local hospital to volunteer I chat to the patients and they tell me their life stories for the most part and I get to feel just how abusive we are towards our bodies, not just me but really everyone. I realise that we have been educated in a way from young to not take any notice of our bodies but instead concentrate on the mind, the mind becomes everything. I have discovered the mind does not care about the body at all and complains bitterly when it breaks down, so if feels what I’m saying is that we live in parts and not as a whole, and may be if we listened more to our bodies we wouldn’t abuse it in the way we currently do by using it as a rubbish bin for whatever we feel we need or want at the time, we just expect the body to cope with it. Wow how selfish is that?

88. Wow, Anon, this is absolutely amazing to read how you have changed things completely in your life! This is a huge turnaround that you have made and is to be celebrated in all its ways! Thank you also for taking the time to share your story, because it shows that no matter how challenged we can feel, there is support for us should we choose to embrace it – and in your case you embraced true support and showed a willingness to work your way out from many constraints that you were in! Amazing!

89. There is a distinct lack of judgement or self criticism in this piece of writing, which is an absolute joy to read.

90. Another miracle of a fellow brother returning to themselves and returning to us all.

91. A amazing story of your life the enormous changes you have made getting to the simple and beautiful understanding of being love and living this from our innermost and everything else makes sense without perfection but with a true joy.

92. The support that is offered with the Chakra Puncture Program is one of great healing and the potential to live and learn from what is not longer supporting the body. Thank you for sharing your story and for giving others the opportunity to connect to their own. A humbly and inspiring read.

93. Yes, it is true…. we get caught up in old patterns of behaviours… we think this is who we are and we are at times, we are so blind that we cannot see… but with Chakra-Puncture it is as if a spot light is shining on everything so that you can clearly see all that is at play and realise that it is not you but a pattern of behaviour that you have gotten so stuck in that you didn’t even realise.

94. Thank you for your honesty ! What a huge turnaround you have made to now being an example to others and an inspiration to all.

95. hahaha you made me laugh reading this! Maybe part of being stoned and numb was so that I just didn’t have to feel everything that was part of living on the boat. I never got seasick as we lived on the boat from when I was 6 months old, so that was my normal. That is where I learnt to walk.

96. Wow, this is incredible. This should be front page news.

97. This is such a beautiful story of the self discovery and self healing that can occur when we re-connect with our true nature. The teachings of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine have supported this for thousands of people since 1999, myself included. The teachings are simple in that from the very start we are presented with the fact that we are divine and that no matter what we have done in life this does not change who we are in essence. Once we re-connect with our divine nature we naturally want to stay connected and this supports us to want to discard anything that is not divine in the way that we live and be in life.

    1. It is true Elizabeth, we are all divine, even if at times we have lost our way and have gotten caught up in all kinds of stuff. It is just that, stuff and not who we really are, and the beautiful thing is, we can all return to that beautiful soul within whenever we are ready, no matter how far away we have strayed.

98. Images of a good life are a killer. It is way too easy to fall for them. Yet, falling for them guarantees a miserable life.

    1. That is so true. We fall for an image, and in that falling, we are guaranteed a tough time as its not real if it based on images. We so get caught in illusions and its so distracting!

99. Yes I agree when you meet someone who walks their talk you know they are the real deal and Serge Benhayon is a man who does just that.

100. I find it fascinating that we (myself included) exist through life and carry on with things like holding down a job, raising a family etc while being numb and checked out. I did not do drugs, but my chosen numbing substances were alcohol and food. Allowing ourselves to feel and deal with our issues is a big step in healing the hurts that drove us to the numbing behaviour in the first place. Then we find we no longer need to numb and those habits simply fall away. Thanks for sharing how you turned your life around Anonymous.

     1. So cool. Rather than focussing on the behaviours we can build an attentive, respectful and caring relationship with ourselves from which we can explore what it is that we are trying to numb and I have found that when the ‘issue’ is revealed it is so dealable with… it is like all the behaviours over the top (for me food, alcohol and shopping) veil the issue, making it seem big, when actually it often isn’t.

101. Chakra-puncture consistently brings me back to a lightness and stillness – an amazing marker that I can then choose to hold, instead of entering back into the fray of emotions and energetic entanglements that otherwise rule my life. Each time I hold the stillness, the forces at play to keep the illusion ‘real’ get exposed in their mischievous ways, and the more clearly I can see and feel them, the greater freedom i have embraced to choose truly once more.

     1. For me, words just cannot describe how amazing Chakra-Puncture is. It really is such a powerful modality and one it day will be known worldwide for its incredible healing support that it is.

102. It is fascinating how we can fool ourselves in our harming ways. Since it can be always ‘worse’ we settle for our own way of harming ourselves without much remorse.

     1. That is the thing, if we compare, there is always someone doing something worse and with that mindset, we kind of make whatever we are doing as okay…. but when we let go of that comparison, and feel, we know what is right for us. There is no denying it.. just a choice to bury it.

103. I love this simple well written account of a life reclaimed. Very inspiring anonymous and so many people can relate to your life path. So great you have now taken the path less traveled, and where a life you enjoy.

104. Anonymous’s story is just one of many similar stories I have heard from students of the esoteric – and not a million miles away from my own. The common sense presentations Serge Benhayon offers have given hundreds of people the choice to take the bull by the horns if they so choose.

     1. Very true, I have heard stories from people’s past that would shock some, then I have heard stories from doctors, nurses, policemen, cleaners, housewives, sailors, …. in other words, people from all different walks of life and they have all had such support from the presentations by Serge Benhayon.

105. Thank you for what you have shared Anonymous, it goes to show that trying to struggle against unwanted behaviours and harming patterns is self-defeating and doomed from the outset as unless we get to the root of the problem, we will merely substitute one behaviour for another. So rather than damage control each outbreak, we can start by returning to the fact and the knowing of who we truly are, and from that confirmation, it is possible then to discard all that keeps us away from the truth – thus we learn to set ourselves free.

106. It’s important for us to appreciate the choice to move out of that slumped lifestyle and build on it to expand ever greater and inspire many more to make the same choice.

     1. I so appreciate the choices I have made and all the loving support that I have had along the way.

107. We will find any way to justify something that serves the need we have to numb, distract, bury or dull down what it is we don’t want to feel, whether in ourselves or around us. Thanks for your honesty Anonymous, what you share is very powerful for others to understand some of what may underlie these sort of choices.

108. Its a wonderful connection when we realise we don’t need be perfect and that part of living fully is making mistakes. But the key message is in the application of living in such a way that we can make mistakes and can constantly learn, but do so with a care and consideration of everyone and a willingness to look at the how’s and why’s. Within such a tenet how can we really go wrong.

     1. This is beautiful Stephen because making mistakes is part of learning. When we look deeper, go to the why and work it all out rather than just turn a blind eye, that is when evolution happens. Where true change occurs!

109. Me too – I have been a member of some professional organisations before, and have never seen anything like EPA. When I first read their ethics and conducts I just cried. The love with and in which it was written was just so palpable and huge, it was the biggest, most amazing love letter I have ever read, and I also felt what I am being asked of by making a choice to be a part of that. It was a very beautiful, expansive moment.

     1. Yes, it is a big commitment to say yes to the code of ethics, and yet it is a great honour to myself and to my clients to agree and stick by it.

110. That is all we need – appreciation of who we are, what we choose that raises love and awareness , and what truly supports us to grow and know ourselves. There are no rules, just a way of living that is true for you and empowers you to truly connect you to who you are on the inside deeply so.

111. The honesty, openness and straight talk in this article is refreshing and much needed in our world today where many forms of addiction are used to check out from life. But with what is presented here, checking out from life doesn’t bring the rewards we think it does. Only full commitment to life can again build our confidence and acceptance of the strength we have always had within.

     1. There is absolutely nothing to gain from checking out because eventually we all have to return and re visit or walk through whatever mess it is we have made. It is just how it is…. so rather than ignore this fact, it is far more loving to be responsible and be aware and present and it feels so good too!

112. It’s incredible what we will justify as ‘healthy or natural’ in order to get away with a fix of some sort. ‘Organic’ wine and organic sugar are part of this ‘natural’ movement – which has nothing to do with connection to the body and it’s communication, but everything to do with attaining a form of relief, escape or reward.

     1. As I read your comment Kylie, I thought yes, how silly… how can the word organic suddenly make sugar or alcohol ‘good’ or ‘healthy’ for you!

        1. Or ‘organic chocolate’. I certainly used that one to make it okay for me to eat.

        2. Its crazy isn’t it really, when you think that one word can be used and then so many will eat it thinking it is healthy. I now know lots of products that have organic on the label that really are full of ingredients that are far from healthy!
           And on the note of chocolate, I had a friend who would convince herself it was healthy as it was mint chocolate so it had mint in it!!!!

        3. People use the word ‘organic’ like a stamp of health, not only is this not true but as well, do we take into consideration the energy that the organic product has been grown with or packaged in etc.
           I myself would rather eat a few chemicals then try and digest ‘organic’ food that is grown by a dope smoker. What is the energetic quality of the product if this is the case?

        4. So true, some of the spiritually laden organic produce is a lot more toxic on an energetic level than any pesticide that is for sure.

113. We are forever learning Anonymous as you say, ‘I have not suddenly “got it” and am not perfect, I am constantly willing to work on myself and be honest and gentle with my own personal development. I now realise that first we have to make the changes in ourselves, to love ourselves first.’

114. I’ve tried to bury my head in the sand all of my life believing I could never cope with how brutal or nonsensical the world can appear at times to be. Universal Medicine, the practitioners, the students and the modalities have shown me that it is possible to see everything in the world with a depth of clarity I barely thought was possible, and remain un-scarred. As I slowly face the world without flinching I am being supported to stand on my own two feet. There have been times I wanted to hand over to other’s to take responsibility for me but that has never happened. I am always supported to connect with my own authority and all the amazing healing and resolving of issues has actually been my own doing.

115. Universal Medicine and the modalities it shares, inspires self empowerment, not following. I have never been to self assertive and sure of what is true for me, my body and life….the antithesis of a follower…

     1. Beautifully stated Samantha. I have become much stronger in myself and more empowered since I came across Universal Medicine, not less so!

     2. I am a follower – a follower of love wherever that leads – and by love I mean love in the true meaning of the word as shared at Unimedpedia Love: http://www.unimedliving.com/unimedpedia/word-index/unimedpedia-love.html

116. So true Natalliya, ‘the life we are living isn’t all that great when we choose a smorgasbord of ways to relieve.’
     It’s so easy to think life is great, but take out all the sugar, coffee, stimulants, alcohol & drugs, entertainment and ‘holidays’ and what are we left with. Most would throw up their hands, as I would have 10 years ago too, in protest that these are the things that make life good… but what if these are the things that mask the fact that life is NOT so good, and the shockingly unhealthy and unwell state of our collective bodies is surely testament to that.

117. An incredible story Anonymous thank you, it is very clear the choices you have made were your own, and as a practitioner of Chakra-puncture I can attest to the power of it to support the ability to make these choices and sustain them. Prior to practising this modality I would see people who desperately wanted to change, but struggled to maintain the changes for very long. You have clearly gone from strength to strength as the difference in your life now is something that takes a lot of sustained changes to bring about.. well done, you are very inspiring.

     1. A modality that brings us the choices to make powerful changes is the gold of Chakra-puncture. Having had a number of sessions myself I have found that the levels of release in the body is truly incredible when we ask for support. Like you have shared Jenny Ellis it is maintaining the changes that comes from exposing the root cause. This comes with time and layers of letting go. An inspiring blog and a great example of what is truly here to support us when we start to ponder that the life we are living isn’t all that great when we choose a smorgasbord of ways to relieve.

118. What a wonderful inspirational story Anonymous; I love how you took responsibility for your choices and over time became more self loving, thank you;
     “I had to take responsibility and realise, that the only person that could change things now was me”.

119. A very inspiring share, what a turn around of your life, and yes it starts with self, ‘we have to make the changes in ourselves, to love ourselves first.’

120. This is an amazing testimony. You show just how possible it is to turn our lives around with true support and a willingness to commit to change and to healing.

121. I am hugely inspired every time I read your amazing story – a testimony to the power of The Way of The Livingness and to the fact that it is never ever too late to turn our lives around.

122. This is an incredible story, and should be published in magazines, books and other online articles so that those who are stuck in similar patterns to how you lived, who are right in the thick of a struggle-based lifestyle, can get to see what it’s like to make different choices and really look after your body and life. It doesn’t mean anyone has to go down the exact path that you did, but there are certainly practical ways to build a more respectful and loving relationship to yourself.

123. Kicking a drug habit as intense as the one you had takes a genuine willingness to embrace feeling everything one has been running from – this is very inspiring.

124. The beauty of power this blog resembles. If you are able to quiet drugs and stop abusive patterns in our own life – we are capable of anything by choice.

125. A truly inspiring account of how life-chnaging and extraordinary chakra-puncture and the esoteric healing modalities are. They simply return you to the full and amazing you.

126. What really is extraordinary is the quality of the practitioner’s lives who practice this modality… There is a deep and profound understanding that the way practitioner lives is directly reflected in the quality of their treatments, and the effect on their clients health and well-being… this is energetic responsibility taken to a new level.

127. What a beautiful marker you have in your life now chosen. One of something different than the behaviors you have described from the past. How you were able to heal them and see that there was more. More love towards yourself and so to others. A beautiful journey to become aware that life is more then our physical acts and that our energetic being is a the core of everything, hence we should treat it with all the love and care we know to be true.

128. “I studied to be a Massage therapist and a Medical Herbalist and I had every reason under the sun to justify my weed smoking habits. (It’s natural, it’s a herb, it relaxes me, it helps give me an appetite etc).” I have met quite a few alternative therapists that advocate marijuana as being helpful in getting people to unwind and relax and they take it themselves on a regular basis. This didn’t feel right to me and now looking back I can see that their energies were quite imposing and forceful, but I was looking to get fixed so I was willing to accept what in truth I knew not to be true.

129. A true and real shift of change, you came from such way of feeling so lost of a way of connection and simplicity. I mean , wow, that is huge.. You decided to go from a life of numbness to a life of wanting to feel and be aware of what is going on. That is a huge effort and change that not many people are prepared to choose, but what a healthy one!

130. I have really enjoyed re-reading this blog because it shows so strongly how our choices can make such a difference to our lives, and as a result our relationships change with those around us, and we look at the world differently.

131. What a powerful blog in realising that the first steps come with being honesty about the life you were living that was not supporting you. It is when we get honesty that we can then move to more layers of realness that leads to our truth.

132. “I had to take responsibility and realise, that the only person that could change things now was me.” What follows in your description of your changes; how you feel vital and engaged in each day, your connection to people and relationships, and your lifestyle choices, are amazing reflections of what responsibility feels and looks like.

133. Coming to the ‘work’ after a heavy life of self-abuse too it was refreshing to have new friends who were Universal Medicine students with similar intentions of being gentle and self-nurturing. Many friendships have blossomed with a new way of what friendship means and to honour who you are. It is a blessing the beautiful people I now know and have a relationship with and I can contact for love and true support.

134. It’s been amazing to read your blog again Anonymous, your transformation is inspirational. I have also found Esoteric Chackra-puncture an enormous support as I have made changes in my life also.

135. “I had to take responsibility and realise, that the only person that could change things now was me.” – a great realisation to have and one that truly empowers us to commit to life.

136. Your story is quite incredible Anonymous. It is clear to me that you were given the opportunity to choose a new way of living. The whole world now benefits from a woman living more of her true potential as a result.

137. The Esoteric modalities including Chakra-puncture are nothing short of life changing, if the client is willing to work with them.

138. Students of Universal Medicine that have used drugs are the only people I know that have truly healed addiction, they would never go back to taking drugs even in their darkest days, all others I know are ‘recovering addicts’ and when things go wrong they often turn back to their addiction

     1. That is a really good point and observation, because I know for sure that I will never ever go back to drugs and there is not a single part of me that wants or craves it. In fact, I think back and can’t believe I used to do the things I did. Feels as if it was another lifetime, and I know that is the same for quite a few friends of mine.

139. I feel like this, it has been awesome to not try and get it all right or be perfect….”I have not suddenly “got it” and am not perfect, I am constantly willing to work on myself and be honest and gentle with my own personal development.” One thing I can deeply appreciate about myself is that I am open to learning and being more consistent with how I care for myself and the responsibility. I have been deeply inspired by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine to make life about the choices I make not chance, and fate…

140. When we get high and out of it on drugs or numbed with alcohol this simply allows us to avoid what we don’t want to feel or don’t want to be responsible for. And in a society where alcohol is definitely seen as an acceptable past time and by many illicit drugs are too this can make them incredibly challenging habits to stop.

141. It is amazing how we cannot ‘try’ to give up stuff, being disinclined and not doing something, is not sustainable. We need to build a quality of lived appreciation of ourselves to feel that we are worth it, the stopping, as your example smoking shows. Esoteric Modalities and Practitioners support healing and connection. However it is always equally our choices as a client that allows us to heal and develop this self appreciation.

142. You’re not a living exception, but yet another example of someone who has changed their lives by taking responsibility for – and saying ‘yes’ to – themselves.

143. A gorgeous example of what happens when we begin to take responsibility, but also an amazing example of the power of Universal Medicine Therapies, particularly of Chakra-puncture. Having worked as a practitioner for nearly 30 years I have never seen anything support and facilitate lasting change more effectively than this modality.

144. I love the commitment you made to you and as a result the way your life transformed highlighting the incredible power of your dedication to you and to making loving choices. Very cool.

145. It is fascinating how we construct a feeling of being fine by comparing ourselves witht he worst case scenarios. We are masters in fooling ourselves big time about how we truly are doing.

146. The EPA code of ethics is like no other in the world – it asks us to take responsibility for every aspect of our life rather than donning a ‘professional’ front whilst things are falling apart behind the scenes.

147. “I used to see clients and suggest a healthy lifestyle to them, and encourage them to stop smoking, yet I continued to abuse my body.” When I was a masseur and kinesiologist I used to advise people on their health yet I, too, continued to smoke cigarettes and used to say, ‘Do as I say, not what I do.’ What a cop-out! That is part of what is amazing about ALL practitioner members of the Esoteric Practitioner’s Association is that they ‘walk their talk’

148. What you share with us is a showcase in how the choices we make in life are the building blocks as to who we feel we are. As you share you do not feel like the person arriving in Byron Bay back then but back then I guess you felt that that was you at that time. I find this a fascinating thing and this is also inspired by what Serge Benhayon has presented. What he shares is beyond words relevant for everyone, at least in my opinion. We look for the answers in life and we sometimes or quite often struggle to make life bearable but what I have always felt and known is there is another way to be and live in life. The difficulties in having this, Serge is a master at presenting and he provides tools that are super simple and very practical.

149. Having been a student of Universal Medicine for many years, I deeply appreciate that you’ve shared here anonymous, that there are ‘no rules’. Especially in the context of critics of Universal Medicine seeking to say otherwise.
     Never once have I heard Serge Benhayon tell me what I should do, or how I should live my life. This is a man who leads – as we all are equally capable of doing – by true inspiration. He holds back nought in exposing what hinders a full and deeply connected, joyful life, yet never once tells anyone what they should ‘do’ (any such notion, is quite honestly, plain ridiculous…).
     When we embrace our own love, making lifestyle choices is an inevitable and natural follow-on. This deserves to be shared and understood more fully, so thank-you so much for sharing your story here. It is absolute gold.

150. Years of numbing with pot and the rest – to living a life that clearly has purpose, meaning, and deep inspiration – this is truly amazing ‘anonymous’. We must never discount such miracles, for so many remain almost entirely given up on the possibility of reconnecting to life in such a way as you have described.
     Wow…

151. “I used to see clients and suggest a healthy lifestyle to them, and encourage them to stop smoking, yet I continued to abuse my body.” This happens so much around the world, we tell people to stop X or do more of Y or less of Z, but because we are not living it ourselves, it is such empty words which is why we keep up the illusion that it is too hard and too difficult to make lasting change. But this is simply not true as the Benhayon’s are showing us – you can live it and then naturally inspire other people to do it Your blog is a great testament to that. Anonymous, you are a living miracle.

152. Esoteric Chakra Puncture is a modality worth its weight in gold.

153. What an amazing life change around and story to share it is so inspiring and simply beautiful to see and feel the changes we can make and the way we can live our lives and the effects of this through being presented the truth by Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon and the Way of the Livingness.

154. How beautiful! I love how real your expression is, there’s no exaggeration, no forcefulness, just your experience and what you feel – amazing!

155. If I told my story here it would be very different on the surface – but underneath, the same fundamental principles would be there. A transformation based on self-love, leading to the choices to care for myself better and accept responsibility for myself and my life. This shift away from blaming others for the way our lives are is a big one. Blame just leaves us feeling like we are a victim of life and hence powerless. Dropping blame and choosing responsibility is a truly empowering thing to do. Thank you anonymous for sharing your story here – it is very inspiring.

156. A great example of how one step at a time leads to huge changes over time.

157. This is quite a transformation to make, and just shows that change is possible and sustainable when it is coming from a place of true healing, and not simply a bandaid solution.

158. The evil of marijuana is that we can think its not that harmful as its natural, but lets get real, it dulls you to the point you are completely checked out of life. That is not a way to live.

     1. Yes, and reality is… they say its not addictive but when you try giving it up you will know for sure that it is no easy thing to do. And the part that I miss the least is the paranoia, the emotional up and downs, and the waking up feeling so groggy. And best of all.. I don’t waste thousands of dollars each year smoking myself into oblivion.

159. an amazing story, how you were able to begin to deal with life once you removed the haze of the drugs that was numbing everything down.

160. Sounded like a very miserable life! I love when you write about not taking on everything Serge Benhayon says, as this is never something anyone should do… All that is presented for us is to feel and to consider – never to enforce

161. The Esoteric Practitioners Association code of ethics really is groundbreaking and truly raises the standard when it comes to Integrity.

162. Not only have you learnt from Serge and other esoteric students, we have learnt from you. It is incredible that you have been able to turn your normal of smoking dope every day around. Not giving up on life but engaging and giving back. That is huge and inspirational to me and I am sure to others who cannot believe it is possible to break habits that have been our coping mechanism and our normal for so many years.

163. This blog – specially at the end – beams out the energy of SELF-EMPOWERMENT! What a joy to read this claiming back and enjoying life again. It is possible. And it is great.

164. This testimonial to both Universal Medicine and yourself is nothing short of a miracle. Its time this was made available to the world, so thank you for sharing it so others can understand there is another way of living, one that is full of joy, health and vitality.

165. Thank you, Anonymous, for sharing your story, there are many of us who developed hardness as a way of survival and have used various numbing tactics to avoid feeling what’s truly going on, including alcohol, drugs, overeating, and some going into their intelligence to escape. What you are showing is that how, by taking a few small steps towards loving your own body more, you have not only changed your life around but have inspired and continue to inspire many others to do the same.

166. “I used to see clients and suggest a healthy lifestyle to them, and encourage them to stop smoking, yet I continued to abuse my body.” – I too have done this, and have experienced it as a client. People feel the lack of integrity in this way of working and its the ‘do as I say, not as I do’. That’s the difference with Universal Medicine trained practitioners, they walk their talk and live with a high level of energetic integrity. Without the livingness of what is being presented, it is empty words and just a theory of how you could live.

167. What an amazing story – such a transformation from drug taking and drinking to living a clean life. Very inspiring thank you.

168. Thank you Anon, this is a very inspiring blog as you really did completely turn your life around. It shows people that it is possible to break with old patterns and behaviours and choose another way.

169. Esoteric Chakrapuncture has the most amazing quality of preparing the ground… by that I mean that it is still very much our own choice as to how we live, but the modality is able to highlight what is and what is not truly us, and that can absolutely support the choices.

170. An amazing personal story of transformation. There is much to be said for being committed to life and how this transforms us and the life that we live.

171. What an incredible transformation, I love the realness you share here, true change is not always easy, it can be tough and takes massive commitment but it’s one billion percent worth it.

172. ‘ I now realise that first we have to make the changes in ourselves, to love ourselves first.” This was a great realisation that for things to change in my life I to first work on myself, by making loving choices and not being hard on myself. With small steps and a commitment my life has turned around, I now wake up with more energy, I love my life an my work and everyday I have joyful moments which Is constantly evolving.

173. The guidance, support and truth that Universal Medicine offers has been instrumental in changing many peoples lives for the better. Thanks anonymous for illustrating that fact

174. Love this story, I took it upon myself to believe that I should try every drug available to take to ‘learn’ what they do. Now that was a HUGE distraction to reality and a great way to numb from the world that made no sense to me. I attended a retreat 3+ years ago – met Serge Benhayon and the rest is history. I’m not perfect don’t necessarily aspire to be but know that I can make loving choices that are about connecting to me that is far greater than any drug and best of all it is free and available to all. That love and god stuff is pretty strong if you let it in! Change is part of life and we can all be part of the change we want to see. The esoteric modalities are awesome – Chakra Puncture is gentle and really allows me to feel my body at depth that is like a returning to where I can be with absolute truth. Thanks for this blog

     1. Awesome to read about your past and where you are today Andrew, it would be great to read a before and after Universal Medicine. I have read some on http://www.unimedliving.com/before-and-after and they are super inspiring.

175. An amazing turnaround from someone who blamed others and life to a woman who has taken responsibility and embarked on healing her hurts and not be defined and manipulated by her past.

176. Blame is a big poison to let go… and something I have been working on for many years. It is exhausting to hold on to something that is not true or real in the first place. The beautiful thing about the Esoteric Modalities including Esoteric Chakra Puncture is that you are given the space to feel the effects of what any emotion, feeling, reaction, food, relationship, work etc. has on your body. I have had the most amazing Esoteric Chakra Puncture sessions and have always left feeling a lot clearer and more focused after being able to surrender to what is there. I haven’t had the pleasure of a chakra detox yet but from many accounts including yours, it sounds amazing and life changing.

     1. Truth is, not all Chakra- Puncture sessions are amazing, in fact some are quite uncomfortable you could say because they allow you to feel the choices you have made in the past, and instead of just blissing out, you actually are lying there feeling it all.

177. This is unfortunately very common, that practitioners promoting a healthy loving lifestyle are living anything but that. What is it for us though, that don’t hold ourselves with regard that seeks out these practitioners… knowing really that no true change is possible. I remember going to a Reiki Master/Bowen therapist who could hardly walk and was one of the most unhealthy women I knew. Now, respecting that everyone has free choice of how they live, I would not though consult any practitioner that is not walking their talk. To no perfection but being discerning of what is needed for our wellbeing and evolution.

     1. I can relate, having seen stoned Reiki masters, aggresive chanting buddhists, and drunken naturopaths… to name jus a few, I am quite discerning these days in regards to who do I listen and take advice from, and most of all, live and practise what they advise.

        1. What I love and respect about Serge Benhayon is that he has always said to discern and feel if it is right and true for you… in no way he has ever promoted following. He holds everyone in the knowing that they are everything already.

178. I love how much Esoteric Chakra Puncture has helped support so many people. For me it enables me to go deeper within myself and seek more clarity. I then can take this quality back out with me into the world. It is a simple non-invasive technique that is powerful beyond words.

179. This is a hugely powerful testimonial as to the incredible changes that can be made when we stop blaming the world around us for how we feel and take responsibility for our choices – lovingly so. The presentations by Universal Medicine have been fundamental in the way I have changed my life too. I am healthier, more vital, more committed to life than I have ever been due to the inspiration I have felt from Serge Benhayon.

     1. Yes yes yes, let go of the blame for it is just an excuse to take responsibility and change your life.

180. Universal Medicine presents a way of being that is unique in the way we treat our bodies with love and care, as it is through our bodies that we get to understand and feel our true essence as the sons of God.

181. Thankyou for sharing your story so honestly and fully, it’s a very inspiring read. Your life now is quite incredible as you are actually free of the addictions, but more than that you are reconnected to yourself and back expressing all that you are. It’s amazing that we feel we are our history, our wounds, yet you have shown clearly that not only is overcoming that possible, but that going past the healing of those things to feel fully restored in yourself is also achievable. I also appreciated reading about how your outer life reflected this with your finances, car, work and relationships. It’s one thing to say we are healed and it’s another to live our life in a way that shows how healed/restored we are. Another true success story thanks to Universal Medicine.

182. Dear Anonymous, thank you for sharing your life thus far. I found it to be very inspiring and love how you turned things around with support and began to understand that we can take responsibility in every moment for our hurts. I too have been deeply supported by the Esoteric Healing Modalities and especially love Chakra-puncture as it is such a deeply stilling and rejuvenating treatment for my body. The Esoteric Healing Modalities are like nothing else that I have tried – the way they support my body and give me more understanding on life has been profound. I have so much appreciation for Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine for making these modalities available to all. The Esoteric Healing Modalities are GOLD 🙂

183. What I love about the Universal Medicine modalities is that they plain and simply work. It does not matter what background you come from, how far away from your own truth you were the modalities work. I too deeply appreciate Serge Benhayon for bringing through these life changing modalities at a time in our history when the rates of illness and disease are enormous despite the advancements in medicine that have occurred. Universal Medicine therapies are much needed indeed.

184. Everyone has a story to tell, and this one anonymous delivers the powerful message, that no matter where we have been or what we have chosen, we have the power to change and reconnect to what we have disconnected to; our inner heart, where all our wisdom, light and love resides – where everything is possible.

185. What a transformational story, what you have been able to overcome is really amazing, a credit to you, the practitioners involved and your own dedication to you. These are the stories that need to be splashed over bill boards and news articles. It is truly amazing!!

     1. I agree, and I encourage more people to write and share all the little things that have changed since attending the workshops because when you start to write it down you realise how much there is to appreciate. We change our ways, and the new ways become our normal and we seem to forget that it was not that long ago that we were quite lost or wayward.

186. Congratulations on such a huge turnaround in your way of living Anonymous! .Such a deep and personal sharing and confirmation of the wonderful difference Serge Benhayons Presentations and some amazing students have made to your life!

187. We can talk about Love, the truth and making caring choices, but the beauty of the Esoteric modalities and Chakra-puncture in particular is it’s physicality. It is like someone momentarily stops life, and your body is finally able to speak. What it has to say may not always be easy or comfortable to hear, but this way of connecting to what is really going on underneath is in my experience, where true healing occurs. For these sessions support you in such a profound way as you say Anonymous. That said it is still up to us to take what our body tells us and choose a new way. This is remarkable in itself, for Esoteric Chakra Puncture doesn’t fix anything – this is all down to you.

     1. Yes Joseph, you can have all the sessions you want, but if you don’t want to make the changes, or deal with your issues, that is fine, it is simply a choice. Your choice and has nothing to do with the modality at all.

188. Amazing transformation Anonymous which I loved reading all about – how amazing that you went back to your friend after a few months because there was something inside of you pulling you back and then you were able to make all those great changes in your life – thank you for sharing!

189. Liked your personal sharing anonymous, its an awesome example of how by making more responsible choices anybody can turn their life around

     1. Yes, if I can do it, so can you or anyone else…. and in fact, I have heard some pretty astounding stories from students of Universal Medicine over the last years and to me who needs proof when it is staring at you in human form.

190. Really interesting the sense I got reading this blog – how the writer was writing as an outsider to Universal Medicine and its students, who progressively got involved and changed her life in her own unique way. Then I realised, this is true for all who are involved with Universal Medicine – we are all outsiders and what has made us outsiders is how people live in the world in such exclusive ways. Yet at Universal Medicine you are never treated as an insider, as someone special, You are treated as a human being, part of an inclusive whole which excludes no one and totally allows people to feel and think of themselves as outsiders, because it is not Universal Medicine that has made them feel that way, it is the way mankind has turned out.

     1. Yes, there are no special ones, we are all the ones… whether you come to a Universal Medicine event or not. It really makes no difference.

191. Thank you for sharing your life choices with us, and present the way you changed completely it is beautiful to read, and see that changes like this are possible for everyone.

192. “I had to take responsibility and realise, that the only person that could change things now was me.” This is the best realisation that a person can have because without it we are constantly trying to look for all the answers on the outside, or we get sucked into the blame game. We are all responsible for where we are at, and therefore also responsible for getting out of the patterns and behaviours that keep us there. The only one that can save us is ourselves.

     1. ‘The only one that can save us is ourselves.’ This is so true. This does not exclude us from asking for support though and the esoteric healing modalities as presented and taught by Serge Benhayon are an enormous help in this regard; Chakra Puncture being a particularly powerful and potentially life changing modality.

        1. Asking for support was very hard for me, as I have always prided myself on being able to do it on my own.. and in that I was seriously missing out because when we open up to support… oh my, things really change and it feels amazing.

193. “It’s beautiful to see the people around me be inspired by the way I live and the choices I make.” Absolutely! And shows that there is no need to tell people what to do to become healthier as all that is needed is the inspiration of it being lived by someone else to which people can choose to act on or not.

194. When we are stuck in old patterns such a smoking pot everyday, or in my case, binge drinking every weekend, we find every reason to justify it or convince ourselves that what we are doing is normal, not a big deal and not that bad for really because there are other people out there who are doing much worse things. Yet deep down inside we know we are just conning ourselves, which we are so good at doing. The great thing about the Gentle Breath Meditation is that it starts to connect to the part of ourselves that does not try and con us, and faces us with the reality of the the disharmony we are living in.

195. I agree that the Code of Ethics for the EPA is one of the most amazing documents I have ever read. There is such integrity and love within the words that every time I revisit it, it is a blessing.

196. Such an amazing testimony to how much a life can be turned around by changing the rhythm in which one lives in and choices that one constantly makes throughout a day. Here’s to the loving way of living and appreciating how much you life has evolved from that.

     1. I agree Eleanor, and this rhythm forms a powerful foundation when the body feels and lives from ‘Truth’. Honesty is the key to a lasting foundation as it allows you to begin to open your heart to loving yourself first and then others. What I can feel so clearly is that there is no more ‘addiction’ or need to bury or numb oneself once the Divine essence within is connected to.

197. Self acceptance is the key to taking responsibility for ourselves and our lives. Being honest and aware of our choices opens the path to learning and that’s a pretty cool way to be.

198. ‘I thought I was fine, because I wasn’t doing cocaine or heroin.’ Isn’t it fascinating how we can find ways to delude ourselves about the truth of how we’re living when clearly all is not right. We seek out a higher benchmark from which to measure how ‘not bad’ we’re doing by comparison to something more extreme rather than feeling the truth of our current choices in our bodies.

199. ‘I am a member of the National Herbalist of Australia Association and Massage Australia and never in my life have I seen a code of ethics like the EPA.’ This speaks volumes about not only the standards of absolute integrity that the EPA requires of its practitioners but also the level of responsibility expected of each practitioner in relation to the quality of being that they take to every client session.

200. I love how you share anonymous that you have not ‘suddenly got it’ nor are you perfect for I too am finding more and more that it is actually my imperfections which are the blessings that help guide me to identify the patterns that I need to let go of that are not loving nor supporting me in my everyday living.

     1. Very true Suse, there is a lot to learn from our own imperfections and those of others as I find that they lead the way to unravelling so much more.

201. Anonymous your before and after Unimed clearly illustrates to us all what hidden potential can be unleashed when we commit to being honest about how we are living our everyday in a manner that does not support, nourish or build us in any way as opposed to how living responsibly with the intention to heal ourselves can change everything.

     1. Yes Suse, what a huge difference responsibility makes

202. What a transformation Anonymous, all I can say is you must have recognised the truth in what you were hearing when you first came across the teachings of Serge Benhayon and your Esoteric Student friend. It’s amazing how simple the teachings are and yet so effective.

203. What an incredible U-turn on your life Anonymous. To go from a life with drugs to no drugs, no sugar and no caffeine in that short time is remarkable. It just shows how supportive the chakra puncture detox program is, when someone is trying to stop unhealthy habits. A massive commitment to yourself…Congratulations! Awesome work!

     1. Having experienced the Chakra-Puncture detox and many other treatments myself and seeing the proof live and direct, I have gone on and completed a diploma in this modality and it really is so beautiful to have practised and seen so many changes on my clients. It really is my favourite modality of all times.

204. So beautiful Anonymous to read your story. From where you used to be to where you are now is huge. What a celebration and an opportunity to deeply appreciate all that you have taken responsibility for and changed in your life. There is so much to be said for what Serge Benhayon brings, shares and reflects to us all.

205. Linda, what you have written is so true, the changes I have made since attending Universal Medicine have been lasting and are forever developing. I have tried many spiritual pursuits, massage, raw food diets, detox’s etc., and none of them have ever addressed the route course of my ailments, I only ever got temporary relief but with the work of Universal Medicine I am constantly feeling changes as I address new areas of my life that do not feel right and as I do I feel an expansion in the way I live which is quite frankly delicious.

     1. I know of many who have tried so many different spirtitual this or thats with absolutely no real change, a change perhaps on the outside, but underneath it all… its just the same. Its quite different with Universal Medicine.

206. I love how some of my friends have started to change their lifestyle on their own accord without any word of suggestion or encouragement from me simply because they have been inspired by what they have felt. It’s gorgeous and reminds me of the responsibility I have to live with integrity in all that I do as each and every action I make impacts another.

     1. Yes, I notice this too… its like what and how we are living is having a ripple effect on those around us.

207. Thank you for your story anonymous. I too have come across people who think that Serge Benhayon is out to make money. Like many businesses, when the motivation is true and the standard of high quality is maintained, the reputation precedes it. Of course there are some who are jealous and try to destroy what has been built, however no one can destroy the essence of this work however hard they try. It will live on forever for it is the truth that lives in all our hearts.

     1. I agree elainearthey. The work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine will live on forever simply because the work does not belong to Serge Benhayon but to all of us because it lives within us.

        1. So true! it is for everyone and you don’t need anything except a willingness and openess to look more into life than we have in the past.

208. Universal Medicine definitely offers everyone an opportunity to heal and connect back to the awesomeness we all are

209. This is a beautiful story, it is so clear that making loving choices and commiting to ourself can have a great effect on our life. It brings true change.

     1. Super simple and super profound. The more we develop and honour a relationship with ourselves the more we can transform ill habits and patterns of behaviour. There is a beautiful responsibility here.

210. Numbing ourselves in one way or another is so prevalent in the world today. Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine has inspired me to take responsibility for my choices in the way I live with myself and with others. There is no one and nothing to blame but an opportunity to be honest with ourselves and to make choices that support us in feeling the love of who we truly are.

211. Thank you for your sharing, what s journey it was for you. Taking responsibility is the key and as we start taking responsibility we cam start to see clearly what is in front of us. No matter how far we are away from our truth, when we start connecting to it, there is lots of support for us to find our way back to who we truly are. The Esoteric modalities are really supportive to get rid of what we are not and bring out who we are.

     1. I agree Amita taking responsibility and accepting we are where we are because of our past choices. With this awareness each individual has the ability to change their situation just by making more self caring choices

212. Appreciation is what I can feel when I read your story Anonymous! When we feel and hear truth, though we may reject it at first, it resonates in our bodies in a way that we cannot deny. I love the way you expressed this in your story. You went ‘back’ because you knew you felt truth and from my own experience, this is magnetic and cannot be denied. Your sharing will go far and is greatly appreciated because it also shows how much change is possible when we are open to it.

     1. Yes, sometimes we deny what we feel …. and we have to use such force to do so but eventually you can’t fight it when it is so clear and strong in your body. The best things is to trust and surrender. And seriously, if what you have been doing works then thats all good, but in my case…. nothing was working so change was what was needed without a doubt.

213. Thankyou for sharing your amazing story and turn-round. Also for your humility – “I have not suddenly “got it” and am not perfect, I am constantly willing to work on myself and be honest and gentle with my own personal development. I now realise that first we have to make the changes in ourselves, to love ourselves first.” By making changes in ourselves we can then inspire others – without imposing.

214. “I used to see clients and suggest a healthy lifestyle to them, and encourage them to stop smoking, yet I continued to abuse my body.” This sentence stood out for me today as I have seen so many therapists, as a client and as a colleague (and i too was one) who advise people about healthy living, yet continue to live an exceedingly unhealthy life. The Esoteric Practitioners Association is unique in that every practitioner is energetically assessed and commits to living a healthy life-style. Would that other organisations follow in the EPA’s footsteps.

215. What an absolutely amazing account of how you changed your life around, this is a true testament to the work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. How awesome you were able to see how harming the way you were living was and made choices to completely change. I too have a similar story where I ran for years not taking responsibility, feeling like life was hard, I have now committed back to life and it feels amazing to be back re- connecting to me – watch out world -the true me is here!

     1. So true Samantha the world will not know what to do when you un lease your full power

216. Amazing Anonymous, and to think that this story could be repeated a zillion times over with more and more people coming to feel for themselves what is needed to turn their lives around through the simple inspiration from Universal Medicine, Serge Benhayon and/or the practitioners offering such powerful modalities.

217. You are an inspiration Anon, and I can feel your inner strength was there all the time but you chose the wrong direction. Once you had reconnected with the true inner heart of you there was no stopping you from leaving the old behind and embracing the new. the Chakra-puncture is an amazing modality, as it opens up the way for us to feel the fire inside of us that we have smothered. Once felt, then all else follows naturally.

218. Amazing Anonymous, gosh those choices are so powerful and strong! I bet it took a lot of strength to stay with what you felt. I am inspired by you, how you have made changes that actually could reconnect you to the pain of previous hurts and choices. I too am very inspired by the openness you have written from, it dares something in me, to start writing about my own change in life, and how this occurred because of Universal Medicine.

     1. Hi Dannah, I have only just started reading these comments as I had forgotten about this blog entirely.
        So its 7 months since you wrote your comment…. and I want to know.. where is your writing? I would love to hear your story too. We all have so much to share.

219. This is a blog so many could be inspired by if it were posted in all reliable social media sites. To re read and take in just how much you changed your life is inspirational!

     1. Feel free to share it around. If I were to do that, it would be quite obvious who I am, and the only reason I chose to be anonymous is so that it doesn’t affect work as some people really judge people on their past.

220. What an incredible story you have shared here, Anonymous. Deeply inspirational by following you all the way from not wanting to feel anything, to the decision to reconnect to your feelings and taking responsibility. The turnaround, you have managed is amazing – so important for everyone to read, who is also “addicted to avoid feeling” in what ever obvious or hidden way this may is practiced. In another blog I read about the “hidden addiction for recognition”. And isn’t it at the end all the same, more or less accepted in society or even rewarded, but super important to become aware and start to feel what is underneath, as you did! I am just becoming aware of my obvious and also more the hidden addictions to also change my choices and become more self-loving and responsible. A work in progress.

221. Great sharing Anon much for us to be inspired by. It is a testimony to your commitment to yourself to not only give up drugs and alcohol but as well, to deal with the underlying reasons of why you indulged in them in the first place. The fact you do not see yourself as a recovering drug addict is a great role model to much of society who label themselves this for their entire life, much to their detriment.

     1. That is amazing really isn’t it because the drug that harms so much, everyone thinks is so safe, its natural and is non addictive but that is what the users say. Ask anyone who has gone through the highs and lows when giving up and the amounts of attempts and it is a whole other story.

222. Thank you for sharing your story, which is another great testimony to the presentations by Serge Benhayon and if applied can and will change your life beyond measure. Having been involved with Universal Medicine now for 9 years plus, I know my life wouldn’t be a fraction it is now without the help I have received from Serge Benhayon and his team.

223. Great sharing of your own transformation, and the way you found your way back to true healing and health thanks to Universal Medicine.

224. Many people in society are under the illusion that heroin is the worst drug and if you are taking other drugs and not heroin then it is not so bad. This is so not true and why do I know this? From my own experience as a big drug taker, heroin was the easiest drug to stop taking and the one that harmed me the least. I have talked to many others and they all say the same thing.

225. Thank you for sharing your story. These extraordinary stories of the changes students have made for themselves as a result of being reminded of the love they are, are news worthy. I too am one of the many and like yourself, through the support of Universal Medicine discovered I am worthy of holding myself in true care, in fact anything less than love simply does not stand up anymore.

226. What a wonderful piece to read. To honour yourself and appreciate how far you have come and to acknowledge that there is no perfection but an openness to allowing yourself to learn and grow is inspiring. It feels like your baby steps are bigger than you realise.

227. Thank you for your story, an inspirational transformation which shows that this is possible with true support. It is interesting how you share how you thought you were fine because you weren’t doing heroin or cocaine, but yet using other drugs. I can relate this to myself in terms of comparing to another to justify my behaviour, and irresponsibility, because it is not as bad as anothers!

228. Great honest sharing Anonymous. Making such a life style change is huge and a result of you taking responsibility for your choices and the support you received through the presentations of Serge Benhayon and Universal practitioners. My journey has been similar to yours and I have found along with constant commitment to work on myself while learning to be gentle and honest with myself, not expecting perfection is a big one for me, learning to feel and connect with my body and being aware when I go into old patterns. I have found it important to appreciate and celebrate myself every moment I make consistent change in my life.

229. This is so inspirational, wow what a journey and thankfully one where you are now heading back home. Very awesome you were able to recognise what was true and from there start to deal with your past momentums.

230. A very down to earth and honest blog Anonymous, having had friends who were heavily into the drugs and alcohol, its easy to see how much you have changed your life around by being committed to working and your daughter – drugs and alcohol rob us of so much and sometimes it is too late, if we are not careful.

     1. Yes Julie many people I know never heal from drug addiction as they do not want to deal with their hurts, they often go on to taking Methadone a drug that is prescribed to them legally. Some take this for the rest of their life, others just continue on with their pot smoking or what ever drug of choice. Others stop the drug itself but do not deal with the underlying reason they took it in the first place so no true healing . Very sad but a definite choice being made.

        1. Having had some close friends who were addicted to heroin and then go onto Methadone, I was under the impression that they were on the road to recovery and that after it they would go on to have a more healthier lifestyle, without being dependent on a drug, but what I saw was another 12 years of Methadone taking and now lasting ill health. This one particular person is unable to work, not only finds it difficult to get a job but now has been diagnosed with mental illness. Looking at it, it would have been so much easier to deal with the hurt – it just goes to show to what lengths we will go to to avoid dealing with our deep hurts. Like you have stated Marylgouisemyers “very sad but a definite choice being made”.

        2. I often wonder what the cost is to the government and tax payers for all the methadone that is prescribed because reality is, it happens a lot and it is all around us all of the time. We have a problem in our society, and the only answer that is being given is more drugs. Something is not quite right…. and time shows that it really doesn’t bring success or change for the user, its just substituting one drug with another but underneath it all, the user is a mess.

231. It seems like having no rules to break is the most rebellious act you can do nowadays. Everything is built around rules and regulation (a set of standards to live by). Rarely have I heard anyone present on listening to your innate inner quality to feel what is right for you in every aspect of your life.

     The true rebels are the ones who live their way, until such a time everyone lives their own way and not to a standard of beliefs and ideals.

     1. Whoaza, I love this quote Luke: The true rebels are the ones who live their way, until such a time everyone lives their own way and not to a standard of beliefs and ideals.

232. Quite a story Anonymous. The choice you have made to start feeling again after a life time of numbing yourself is truly inspirational. It goes to show that it doesn’t matter where we have been and what we have done, every day we have the opportunity to make a different choice and turn our life around.

233. Thank you for your honesty and openess anonymous. You are a living example of the changes only we ourselves can decide to make for our own wellbeing and that of others.

234. This is an amazing turnaround for someone who has had addictions to so many drugs and didn’t care about her life or herself very much at all. All I can say is I congratulate you for listening to your innermost voice and accepting the support you were offered by your esoteric acquaintance!.

235. Reading this I think wow! what an amazing story. But then that was me too, smoking pot and drinking everyday, and like yours my life now is so much different. It really highlights to me the fact of how much we need to appreciate ourselves when we make these awesome, life changing choices.

     1. Yes, there are many students who have had similar stories, and it is so worth appreciating because we are not recovering addicts or half functioning citizens, drugged up on another drug to help us cope. We are inspirational, committed to life and there is not one part of us that is caught up in that old pattern of wasted behaviour.

236. Thank you for your honest writing, i can really feel the honesty and truth that you now bring to yourself and the beauty is plain to see and feel.
     There is nothing gushing in your writing just a lived expression which is a joy to read.

237. This is an amazing story because if we are truthful we know how hard it can be to change habits of a lifetime. Yet with the support of Esoteric Chakra Puncture and the practitioners, the choices come so naturally and the body aligns to what is true for it to be healthy.
     I have received many sessions of Esoteric Chakra Puncture and can say that it is so supportive. I felt the waves of what was not me falling away and I could feel myself in a deep connection with the truth of who I am. Afterwards it was so simple to stay connected to that and to make the choices I wanted to make rather than making choices then finding myself contradicting them by my behaviours a short time later, which often happened before. Esoteric Chakra Puncture works in ever deepening ways.

238. I love these real life stories as they inspire us all to make changes. On some level we can all relate to lifestyles and choices that we know weren’t good for us. Yet these stories simply remind us that regardless of our past we can make the choice to stop hiding and let ourselves be seen for who we truly are.

239. Wow this is an incredibly honest and inspiring blog. It is amazing to read how you have changed your life around and even though the loving choice you made seem tough but it was very loving. You inspire so many people from what you shared to know that they too can make loving choice to not abuse their body with alcohol or drugs. No matter how long these old habit have been entrenched when love is present anything is possible.

240. A true inspiration Anno, I love your honesty of looking at your addiction as real and not pretend it wasn’t an issue because you were not using heroin or any other extreme substance. You are testament of someone who chooses loving choices in their lives.
     Thank you

241. You have made amazing changes in your life and by the sound of it, the ripple effect is in action. Thank you for sharing your story with us.

     1. I agree Heidi, I too can feel the ripple effect and it is extremely inspiring.

242. What I see offered by Universal Medicine presentations / Serge Benhayon’s presentations, is an all encompassing possibility of what life can be. Serge doesn’t present on one topic only; he’s not all about diet, or all about health or work, or all about religion. He presents there is a way to be in every single moment of life, never with a day off to sink back into old patterns or habits; that the joy and wellbeing felt is amazing when one can live one’s life free from outer influences that mar what’s inside of us coming out. I can see this has been your experience too in your Story, where everything about your life became a service! It is all encompassing and leaves nothing out, if prepared to be honest and responsible.

243. The power of true support. Thanks for sharing.

244. You have completely changed your life… No one has done this for you, but you had and continue to have a willingness to work through your issues, be honest and not go into blaming yourself or others. This is a credit to you and the responsible choices you have made. Thank you for sharing your incredible story with us. It is truly inspirational.

245. This is really inspiring to see that the power was always in you. You just needed a reflection of what was really inside of you, to feel it for yourself and make the choice to re-connect. Deeply appreciate you sharing your story and being a living example that everyone always has a choice in life.

246. You are a living miracle and your story is one that will inspire thousands. Thank you for your honesty, much of what you shared I can relate to and reminds me to appreciate the steps I too have taken to turn my life around with great thanks and appreciation to the teachings of Universal Medicine

247. I love this blog, it’s raw and honest and relatable. I started smoking weed when I was very young and did it consistently until I was in my twenties and I did it to numb myself from feeling, I related to many parts of your tale. Awesome sharing, loved it.

     1. Geez Sarahraynebaldwin, knowing you as I do know, I would never have known this to be the case without you telling me. I lost many friends to the fog of dope. It is inspiring to meet people such as yourself who have been able not just to remove such addictive behaviour from their life, but actually re-connect to the vibrancy of all that life can be.

        1. Yes Adam, that’s what’s so amazing about the healing offered by Universal Medicine. Anybody that knows or meets the vibrant and successful business owner, mother of 5, smoking hot woman I am today cannot believe my past. And boy was there a past, I literally trashed myself, first bong at 11 years old, by 13 I was drinking every weekend heavily, then acid and everything else you could imagine, cocaine, speed, and lots of ecstasy, ice, all mixed into a weed cocktail and topped up with a pack of ciggies day!
           I have had lots of old friends I know that were parting hard like me but they choose rehab or just keep going with the parting. The rehab results seemed to be most commonly either reverted back to drugs or just generally still having that druggie vibe, chain smoking and living on coffee but ‘recovered’ of course, they were the success story…. Out of those that kept up the parting about 4 friends have died and one has gone to prison and then died shortly after. Then there are the friends that are just slowly loosing their zest and generally seem a little stunted and brain damaged. Universal Medicine saved my life, it is the best rehab ever, has you to not identify with being an addict, you are not ever told what to do or given rules or prayers on things to repeat over an over, you just get love and the constant reminder of how amazing you are, the drugs simply don’t have that hold on you anymore, the drugs mean nothing, I never tried to abstain, never missed them again, there was just no longer any desire to harm myself.

        2. Seeing people like Sarah and knowing their story is just so refreshing because it really doesn’t matter how caught up in drugs you were, there is a way out and one where your life can be full and vibrant. I love what Sarah mentions about its better than any drug rehab. I agree completely.

248. It’s interesting, you stopped lighting up the fire of your smoking and started lighting yourself up with you. Great story.

     1. Yes, and now I am on fire more than ever before!

249. I’ve found the esoteric chakra-puncture to be such a huge support as well. It’s really helped me to see behaviours and things I was doing that were harming and be able to genuinely change and let them go.

250. This is a great example of how Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine inspire people to change their lives in their own time, in their own way, and no matter what we choose we are accepted completely.

251. Everything you’ve shared here is amazing, but what stands out for me is how completely your life came back together. You didn’t just do one thing, like give up marijuana, or eat more healthily, your entire life from the ground up changed. Your work, fiances, relationships, attitude etc, it was a whole package. Now that is wholistic healing if I ever heard it! And you did it yourself with the right kind of support. So many experts nowadays tell us how to improve certain aspects of our lives, yet many don’t even live this themselves. The people around you were living this way themselves and just sharing.

252. What an inspiration you are. Thank you for sharing this with the world. It shows that everything is possible, if we make the choice, become honest and connect with ourselves.

253. Thank you for your beautiful story you are sharing. I am always amazed how easy the body can adjust, after such a long time of abuse. If you change the energy and deal and face your hurts, it is magical how fast the body adjust to the truth and supports you to live your true potential.

254. I was very interested to hear of the slow unfoldment that occurred here. There is a part of me that has always been impatient, expecting myself to ‘get it’, and that that would be that – easy sailing from there on in my life. Another part of me expects everything to be really hard going and like I am going through a type of punishment for all the poor choices I have made in the past. This sounds ridiculous even as I type it! But it just goes to show that there are many old beliefs and patterns that need to be unravelled as we move into living a more joyful, connected, vital life.

     1. I used to think that every thing had to be a hard flog, or complicated and in fact I would doubt it if it was too simple or easy but now that is a thing of the past because simple is awesome and struggle was just something I got stuck in and could then identify in… as in, oh poor me, its oh so hard for me… Yuk!

255. Your story is amazing and a huge credit to you and Universal Medicine. There are many other stories like this in these blogs where people’s lives have totally transformed through encountering Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon. With most of the world having semi-bankrupt health systems and all the drug taking, depression, checking out, abuse and illness and disease we have in the world – why are people not investigating Universal Medicine to find out what is going on here? At Unimed Living there are also before and after photos,again showing the same story – imagine the billions or gazillions governments could save if more people came across Universal Medicine – not to mention the savings in terms of human suffering.

     1. I agree Nicola, governments could be turning the health crisis around and saving so much money $$$ with what has been presented by Serge Benhayon, and the best thing about it, is it is actually totally do-able and easy.

        1. I supposed the question is how much suffering is needed before we (humanity) decide to stop all the nonsense and accept the love and healing that has always been there and is always available. Love does not cost $$$ but it does come with responsibility.

256. When I read your article I considered the massive changes that you have made to the way that you are living and to how you feel. I then considered how that has affected your father and daughter directly and then I pondered on the fact that you are inspiring those that know you to bring change into their lives and then I thought about how the changes are affecting everybody else because we are all interconnected ! Quite astounding really.

     1. Yes, the ripple goes out far and wide and people are affected without even realising. I love it!

257. Thank you for sharing.. Truly is an inspirational story of how anyone can change their life if they want to. Having the support and someone willing to see life a different way helps tremendously.

     1. And this is the key Emily, that making different choices to live a different way is something that is available to everyone. Anon’s story is a living example that these choices are possible even when there are long term addictions, and just how powerful the choice is to introduce self care and self love.

        1. Spot on Angela. Our patterns of behaviour can change if we make choices that are more loving and build levels of respect and love for ourselves. Taking the first steps without perfection like anonymous is always a great place to start.

        2. Absolutely anyone one can change their lives if they choose too, there is plenty of support. When one makes that true connection and willingness to change the support is their. Taking slow steps builds a true foundation of change. One can feel and see it in their body as they introduce self care and self love into their lives.

258. An amazing story which so much in it! I can totally relate to the rebellious nature here. Universal Medicine has always only ever presented the possibility of what happens when we apply choice.
     So no one was going to help me – it was I who would help myself.
     That has made such a difference – and the main reason that after so many years I am still just as blown away each time I attend an event. Because my body and how I feel about myself and the level of responsibility I have is forever changing. So the power is all in my hands.

259. Wow, your story is inspirational, Anonymous. It’s incredible the changes you have made to your life! To be able to actively engage in life from a point of not wanting to be part of it is something to share. Your story needs to be shared for all those who feel stuck and to know its possible to live a different way.

260. This is a great story anonymous, I also shudder to think of all the rubbish I put in my body thinking it was Ok because I wasn’t as bad as some people I knew, and I still managed to hold down a job. With Universal Medicines help it never really felt like I had to give anything up, things like smoking, drinking etc just fell away as the more I started to be aware and take care of myself, stopping the abuse was a natural progression

     1. Kevmchardy you are right on the money. It’s always been our choice to give up dairy, gluten, drugs and alcohol. Never has Universal Medicine said “you have to”. By choosing to connect with ourselves and start caring for ourselves on a more deeper level some vices just fall away like you said.

     2. Excellent point kevmchardy – even with the abuse we still function – says a lot about how we have all allowed the world to get to a point of disregard that one more person ‘off the Richter scale’ on drugs and alcohol does not really matter…

     3. I look back now and amazed at how I held a job or drove a car. Scary to think of really!

261. Beautiful to read how your journey has unfolded and continues to do so as you make loving choices to support yourself and truly turn your life around. Thank you for sharing and being such an inspiration.

262. Hi Anonymous, It is an amazing journey you have made from daily drug addiction to loving and nurturing yourself and being drug free. One to be celebrated as you live a life filled with you.

263. An absolutely incredible story Anon! It is unheard of to be able to let go of drug addiction like yours in this way where you are so vital and not a ‘recovering addict’- you’re a fully claimed fiery ball of love!

     1. Absolutely Vanessa – in our society letting go of drug addiction in this way is extremely rare however in this community it is not. I too attempted to deal with life in the same way until my early thirties when I started to look for the true answers behind my behaviour. I now feel that it is impossible for me to even contemplate any of the things I used to do.

     2. Thanks! There definitely is no recovering here. Drugs and me are a thing of the past and they have no power over me and there is not one part of me that would go back there.

264. Thanks for sharing your story, and what an amazing example of taking full responsibility for your life’s choices and making appropriate changes where needed.

265. What a journey you have travelled and what an inspiration you are.

266. Wow really powerful changes you have made here and your raw honesty is a refreshing read as you say “I have not suddenly “got it” and am not perfect, I am constantly willing to work on myself and be honest and gentle with my own personal development. I now realise that first we have to make the changes in ourselves, to love ourselves first”. Awesome thanks anonymous.

267. Wow Anonymous. What an awesome testimonial to Universal Medicine and how its presentations and modalities allowed, inspired and supported you to completely turn around your life and resuscitate you from the world of numb you were living to one where, as you share, ‘I am constantly willing to work on myself and be honest and gentle with my own personal development. I now realise that first we have to make the changes in ourselves, to love ourselves first, to lay the foundations for the changes we want to happen and know in our hearts need to happen.’ The dedication and commitment you have made to yourself to re-learning how to take care, nourish and appreciate you is an absolute inspiration for anyone who reads this testimonial. Thankyou for sharing your story so honestly.

268. This is an awesome story to reflect to everyone….true commitment to yourself…making the choice to live life and not to just exist in life everyday….

269. Your story will inspire many People. It clearly shows us all, that their was no judging, no trying to change you in the way you were living, by Janene or Universal Medicine. As you spend time with Janene, you could feel how she was living… was so true. There was something in you that knew, that kept drawing you back to her, “I need to know more about this” and you did….you felt your own truth from within. In the end, you came home to you…thank you for sharing your story. There is so much strength and power in turning your life around like you have…you are an inspiration…

270. What an amazing story and life turnaround you have shared here all because of the love, understanding and inspiration of another human being (who was inspired in turn by another human being) who saw you for who you are and connected with you.

271. What a phenomenal change from dependence and anger to joy and self sufficiency. That’s amazing.

     1. I agree Fiona, it is amazing and definitely a story worth telling. People need to hear about these kinds of transformations that have occurred for hundreds, if not thousands, of people through the work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.

        1. Yes Elizabeth, the stories from Universal Medicine students are phenomenal and as you say there are many, many stories where people had ‘given up’ on life, who since taking on board the teachings of Universal Medicine have transformed their lives, to being healthy vital and fulfilled. These stories need to be heard.

272. Thank you Anon for sharing the honesty of the life once lived and how with self-loving choices, one is able to completely turn their life around.

273. WOW, what a change in 3 years. I’m imagining what it would have been like being treated by you as a herbalist back then, compared to now. It seems that just working and being around you is enough to inspire others to make healthy choices…

274. You have made incredible, inspirational changes in your life through choosing self-love and responsibility. On this site I have read of many similar stories, of people making healing and loving changes in their lives. To label you and your fellow writers as members of a cult is pure evil because it impedes others from finding the truth they are all searching for.

275. Beautifully shared, Anonymous. How great are the changes in us when we take responsibility for our past choices in life, and instead bring self care and self love into our lives? The changes are nothing short of amazing.

276. A beautiful blog on the transformation that is possible when we choose to take responsibility for our lives.

277. Wow, thank you for sharing this. Marijuana is in truth deeply de-habilitating, although like with any drug, I know those that use it (and I know quite a few) will defend it until the cows come home, which is fine. I do not see Marijuana as the problem here, but rather the fact that we have so lost connection to ourselves and the joy of life that we need to find solace in such a mind numbing drug. I have lost many a potentially true friend to its devices. If only they knew their own true worth as you have re-discovered.

     1. Thank you ‘A’ and Adam. I agree marijuana is so much a numbing substance. I too was totally lost on the drug’s path. Then on 31st December 1992 I stopped all drugs. At this point I was still lost, fooled by thinking I had stopped harming myself but I still had a deep emptiness. So I replaced drugs by filling myself with foods, new age investments, beliefs, ignorance and arrogance. When I truly started to heal was when I started making self-loving choices as presented by Serge Benhayon.

     2. I can relate to what you say here Adam, thank you for saying it.

     3. Same Adam, I know those that defend it, way too many in fact and I get it as I was one of them too once upon a time. I see them for who they are and accept their choices, but like you think if only they knew their own true worth. If only they could come out of the haze.

278. What a wonderful transformation. It is also a truly great example of the power of the esoteric modalities and the work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine in supporting true change for people.

279. These personal stories are always so inspiring. To see and feel these changes in people I know and even those I don’t know, makes me feel how everyone one day will be making these changes. How fast or slow is completely up to us.

280. Dear Anonymous reading your story is very inspiring. You have lovingly made many choices and changes In your life for you that are a ripple effect on others. Thank you for your sharing.

281. An amazing story and I thank you for sharing with such honesty. Committing to yourself Anon with the dedication to making choices that are supporting and loving is truly inspiring.

282. I agree with what many of the other comments say: You ARE Amazing! The changes you have made are huge and it’s no wonder people around you feel inspired to change also! Well done Xx

283. Wow what massive choices you have made, your right they are massive, it is hard to make one or two of these changes over a lifetime yet you have made them and many more over a few years, WOW, WOW, WOW. You rock!

284. and I agree, there is something about the teachings of Universal Medicine that call you to look inside and really adress your relationship with yourself, this was un-denyable when I started to go to Universal Medicine events and workshops.

     1. I also agree Harry, one is called to look inside at your relationship with yourself, and it is true that sometimes it can be difficult, but my experience is that it is also the most amazing process. The feeling of knowing the uncomfortable truths about yourself is actually the most liberating, satisfying and love filled thing I have ever done. Highly recommended.

     2. I love getting to the truth and honesty of it all.. and yes it can be quite painful to realise how much of a lie we have been caught in, and there is often shame about it. I remember feeling like such an idiot for being sucked into these ideals and beliefs around buddhism and some other spiritual practises that I invested in, and then how I had shared those lies with friends of mine and the realisation that I could not, no matter what continue to live in that lie.. so all had to be exposed no matter what.
        Over the years I have become an expert at exposing the lies and not having any shame for my past. I messed up. So be it but where I am now is amazing.

285. Amazing story. so beautiful to hear that you decided to stop hiding from the truth in your life and start paying attention to what your body was telling you. This I feel is the hard part about accepting we havent been truthful, its that we then become very vulnerable and fragile and admitting this takes quite some honesty. thankyou for sharing your amazing story, im sure many people have been inspired by you no doubt.

     1. Yes Harry, I feel deep sadness when I realise how far I have been living from what is possible, choosing comfort over responsibility. This is such an honest account of facing our past choices and doing so lovingly and without judgment which has allowed you the space to appreciate.

286. What a HUGE turn-a-round in your life in such a short amount of time. Truly inspirational!

287. Great blog that looks at a lot of issues that impact on society, health, drugs, nutrition, parenting, and emotional instability, to name a few. Thank you for sharing your experience of Universal Medicine and how you have made choices to live a more full and healthy life. I love the truth, power and simplicity of this quote “I am not part of a cult. I make my own choices.” Who could question the personal authority with which you make this statement.

288. Anon, your story of total transformation is very powerful and inspiring. At every moment we are presented with choice, and that choice can lead to a life lived in truth and love no matter what the odds may seem like initially. Thanks for sharing.

289. It was an honour to hear your story as you allowed us to walk beside you through your transformation from choosing the numbed haze of your past to the responsibility you now embrace. I loved what you wrote about constantly being willing to work on yourself and being honest and gentle with your own personal development – super inspirational. Thank you so much for sharing this.

290. Thank you for a truly beautiful story. It’s amazing to read how the changes you made in your life inspired others around you to make changes in their lives. Wonderful.

     1. I agree Peter it is awesome to read and see that when we make changes in our lives, those around us are also given the opportunity and inspired to make changes in their lives. I love it how we each can reflect so much to each other.

        1. I so love this part, and could write a blog just about the ripple effect we have on those around us… and what are our ripples actually doing? Are we inspiring change or self harm because really there is only one or the other.

        2. It is amazing how when I stop and go ok I know this is not the best thing to do for my body yet still do it but as soon as I bring in other people into the equation and what ripples will I then be sending out – means the self harming thing I was going to do no longer has as much enticing energy and choice to be love gains strength.

291. What an amazing transformation Anon. I love how you describe your step by step changes so we learn about your gradual and ongoing unfoldment, all at your own pace and in your own way.

     1. Had to be at my own pace and my own way as I don’t like rules and regulations much, in fact I usually react to them. I don’t like being put in a box or being a follower either and that is what I love about The Way of the Livingness and what Serge Benhayon presents because there is none of that.

292. What an AMAZING and beauty-full transformation AND with no rules to abide by.. just personal choices that come from the truth of your own body. I love the simple wide open honesty in sharing your truly inspirational unfoldment Anonymous.

293. Thank you Anonymous, it is no small thing to give up a daily marijuana habit, let alone the rest you describe… it is clear from what you write that even though the support you received through Universal Medicine practitioners and the presentations of Serge Benhayon were instrumental, that your own commitment to the choices needed played an equally important part. A very inspiring story.

     1. True, you can have all the support and inspiration in the world, but if you are not willing to roll your sleeves up, do the work, take responsibility,, make the changes, feel the hurts, cry, express and work through it, no one can do that part for you.

        1. Exactly… and in the end it is you who does the healing, of yourself, which is how you end up so empowered and with such wisdom.

294. This is such a common paradox: “I used to see clients and suggest a healthy lifestyle to them, and encourage them to stop smoking, yet I continued to abuse my body.” Thanks Anonymous for spelling out just how far from self-love someone can be, and can justify it in every way and go on the same, and yet still choose the way back to healthy choices (with a little help and inspiration from friends).

295. “I had to take responsibility and realise, that the only person that could change things now was me.” – this is such a fundamental point for us all, thank you anonymous. I know for myself when I’m struggling with something and I bring it back to this, I cannot but feel empowered.

296. This is so inspiring for the simple fact that so many of us struggle with addictions, be they drugs, alcohol, over work, self critical thoughts….these struggles can feel like insurmountable mountains when we try to let go of them. The fact that you stopped such a deeply entrenched drug habit – well that is something to sing from the roof tops. Everyone needs to hear this. It is a testament to the modalities, the practitioners and to you – equally.
     The teachings of Serge Benhayon have supported so many people in so many ways. I am another person who can say that meeting Serge Benhayon and wonderful esoteric practitioners changed my life forever.

     1. I do sing out loud in my car, and I dance around the house and I have so much joy like never before. Before it was anger, emotional outbreaks, frustration and sadness. Luckily I only experience dribs and drabs of that now if I get too caught up in things or I eat too much sugar. Yes, sugar makes me go mad! I have tried it time and time again and always get the same result! Shame, as that sweet taste is so addictive. And all of this, I know I would not have been able to get too, without the teachings presented by Serge Benhayon, his family and all my friends and practitioners.

297. Anonymous – You are amazing and your honesty is humbling!

298. This is a beautiful personal story, I am sure there must have been some tough times along the way but what you describe is a wonderful transition to healthier choices that have clearly impacted hugely on the quality of your life and that of those around you. The EPA code of ethics is indeed like no other code in its dedication to practicing to the highest standards of care from and through self care.

     1. Hi Stephen, yes there were tough times, times where all I wanted to do was roll another joint and not feel a thing but there were also other times where I felt so alive and so supported and loved that I knew that I wanted more of that feeling so I just kept going for it. It was only after about a month of not smoking pot that I realised how stuck in it I was, and how it controlled my life so much and with that realisation, I never ever wanted to do it again. Funny enough, now 7 years later, I have just supported an old friend of mine to give up, and it has taken her a few attempts, weeks of crying, anger, frustration and now about 6 weeks weed free and she is on top of the moon and also feels like a big cloud has lifted. It is so empowering when you are no longer controlled by a drug.

        1. Brilliant that you were able to support another, it just shows the ripple effect of looking after our own health, and how that then travels out to support others too. And who better to support someone in such a situation than one who have lived through the same experience and come out the other side.

299. Beautifully shared Anonymous, amazing the changes that can happen when we choose to love who we truly are.

300. What a journey Anonymous. So many changes and the commitment to make those changes shows how timely the connection to Universal Medicine was for you. I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been to turn your life around so completely but I congratulate you!

301. “I now realise that first we have to make the changes in ourselves, to love ourselves first.” I am realising everyday a greater depth of what it truly means to love yourself first. Sometimes I get a little tricked into thinking someone else can do it for me but in the end that never works. What works is loving myself first as I am around all of the time.

302. An astonishing personal account of how its possible to turn ones life around and pull themselves out of a situation that was not working, into an amazing life.
     The difference here from the stories one usually hears about is its not something from the outside that’s been taken on as a new regime or discipline, that then cannot be sustained. It is building connection to oneself, and from that inner connection then choosing things that are more loving and supportive in ones life.
     Thank you for sharing your amazing story.

303. I am inspired by the power of true love on consistency. Not only through the choices you made but how you were inspired through the true relationships you shared to make such changes in the first place.

304. This is beautiful and I take my hat off to you because of your commitment to following your feelings and honouring yourself, after all those years of dishonouring with the smoking. I also was able to give up smoking when I really understood just how bad it was from one of the presentations by Serge Benhayon. He is truly such a inspiration that man, with such a vast wealth of knowledge and wisdom.

305. Your story really does show how open and accessable Universal Medicine is. And how going at your own pace in your own way is so fully accepted by UM. Because there is no pressure, no rules and no expectations, we are all incredibly free to engage as much as we like to, and this actually can really encourage us to take the steps for ourselves – so empowering, as you, anonymous have proved.

306. Wow anonymous, you are the living example for the amazing changes everyone can bring to their life and the lives of so many more by simply choosing responsibility and love.
     Thank you for sharing. :o)

307. Truly inspiring. It really is exactly as you described Anonymous. It’s about making the right choices for our bodies and taking responsibility for them too. Expressed with such honesty thank you.

308. What a journey Anonymous! What your story makes clear (and inspires) is how easy it is to let go practices that harm us and were central in our lives, as truth gets embodied and accepted.

309. Thank you Anonymous, this sentence is gold: “I have not suddenly ‘got it’ and am not perfect, I am constantly willing to work on myself and be honest and gentle with my own personal development.”
     I love that about your blog as it brings across exactly that, how you developed yourself with a consistency and continue to do so and how it is not about trying to be someone you are not and therefore there is no judgement. I can feel the appreciation and love you have for yourself and the joy in your own personal development. Very inspiring!

     1. I agree Judith…. there is no single flash of insight…just a moment by moment development…that is ever deepening.

        1. Yes and it is almost 5 years later, and my life has changed even more and you could say, I am living it up, living the dream which I am… but I am still developing, still make mistakes and I am still working on myself, bringing more awareness, taking more steps… and loving the whole process.

     2. Judith an important sentence to highlight. For many years I would be looking to “get it” the thing that would change everything instantly. Yet what I found in the presentations of Serge Benhayon is life changing – world changing – yet is something that in practice is built a step at a time without perfection. It’s a very inspiring blog to see what changes Anonymous has made to their life – a true transformation.

     3. Yes Judith a great point… it is our dedication in a daily commitment to ourselves that develops consistency, and in this there is no perfection. It takes away the ‘on the wagon’, ‘off the wagon’ type mentality that has us think we are failing every time we have an off day. To understand it is a development changes that completely.

        1. Jenny, reading you comment on an ‘off day’ has reminded me that I have not failed and that tomorrow is another day to learn and do things differently. Thank you

        2. Sometimes I fall off the wagon big time, I react, I get emotional but I love it as I can then see clearly what I have done, what choices I have made and the path in front of me is up to me…

        3. Yes Anon, and you are a beautiful example of our imperfection, and the perfection of that when we choose to learn and grow from what we are confronted with.

     4. Absolutely agree Judith… this sentence is gold and the joy that you bring with this blog is very inspiring. It shows it doesn’t matter where we come from we can always choose differently and live from love and not abuse.

        1. That’s right Rachel, and as this blog shows, it we make choices based on our own loving sense then the changes that can happen are truly amazing. This is an amazing true account of one persons life, all based on lovingly choosing another way.

        2. So true Rachel we have a choice in every moment, the more we choose to live from love the more consistency we build which supports our next choices.

     5. I so agree Judith – there is an honesty and steadiness that feels so inspiring. Like you I felt the truth of the sentence “I have not suddenly ‘got it’ and am not perfect, I am constantly willing to work on myself and be honest and gentle with my own personal development” as it is the consistency and commitment that supports us and not the instant hit that then dissipates.

        I also felt the intimacy in the way the story unfolded as the blog was told in a way that was not to attract but a genuine sharing from the heart.

310. You present a great example of how we are able to change things around that can seem too hard to change. It seems like we need examples like these to really see that the power of change lies within us, we just have to realise it and you are a living proof of that, thank you.

311. Thanks Anon for your honest and open blog. No matter the choices we make in our lives, there is always the true essence of you waiting to be seen, felt and heard. Life brings the offer to connect in different ways and when everything constellates, change happen. A Beautiful Healing time which is continuing.

312. Thank you for your honest sharing. Beautiful to feel how you have embraced each step of your transformation, and your renewed commitment to your life.

313. I enjoyed reading your story anonymous. Such huge changes you have made in your life. WOW! I appreciate your honesty, your lack of shame and willingness to choose what works for you without recourse to anyone else but yourself.

314. What an amazing story! You have a true gift for writing with such honesty, and in making your story very relatable and accessible. It’s truly amazing what you have done and very inspiring. You have really highlighted something quite common in humanity – that we all have things we don’t want to feel and we make choices to numb or distract ourselves to these things, completely to our detriment. Taking responsibility is the way back to harmony and health. Brilliant blog, thank you.

315. This is exactly the experience of so many other people, although maybe not the sailing around the world part:)

     I love that one of the main things that helped turn your life around was your regular chakra-puncture sessions, made possible by the FREE sessions offered by chakra puncture students completing their practice hours.

     1. The free sessions offered by students was such a support for me because back then, I had no money, or self worth so even if I had the money, I would have spent it on anything but self care or ME.
        I have done over 250 practise hours myself now and love that I have been able to support others, just the way I was supported when I needed it most.

316. It’s lovely to hear how you realised you no longer needed to be ashamed of your past, and now feel free without any imposing rules to deepen your discovery of just how amazing you are!

317. How great to read about your difficult and inspiring journey. When I read stories like yours I am amazed at the courage and strength with which you have faced your problems and beaten them. I loved the phrase “I have not suddenly ‘got it’ and am not perfect but am constantly willing to work on myself”. That is something of which we should remind ourselves often.

318. So beautiful anonymous. How awesome that you had someone like Janene around you to inspire you, and how now you are that inspiration to so many others. There can be no underestimation of the light and beauty you are.

319. Wow anon, I have read this before – but the transformation you share is so tangible and total that it has again knocked my socks off. I can relate all too well to the normalised excused ingrained numbing of pot use to take the edge off life and not feel. I love the feel of the steps you transitioned through, and where you are at now is literally a world away – the commitment you have to life and living and feeling and work and people — total transformation – and thank God for that – for your body and for all who know you and now get to enjoy the open loving lady you have returned to. Super lovely to read.

320. So true, we have to become honest with ourselves first before we can make any changes in life and can choose to love ourselves first. It is inspiring to read your story and how you were met in your fullness by Janene, who simply presented the truth to you by her way of being and, that she did not force or push you to become anything in any way at all. How powerful is the truth, that lives in us all, if we allow that to be our guide in life.

321. It is not always easy to make more loving choices and change your life, but you showcase that it is possible anyway and for everyone. That is what we can fall in love with easily and be inspired by – the love someone has for themselves, radiates, shares and expresses. Pure joy to read your story.

322. It can be confronting to hear truth being spoken because then we can’t blame other people for our choices.
     I too found my first introduction to Serge Benhayon (at a Livingness One presentation) pretty challenging. I reacted to seeing so many genuinely joy-full people in one room. At the end I just wanted to run (and I did, very briefly – I drove down the road and thought shall I go back for Livingness Two tomorrow or just drive home?) but I knew if I drove away I would only want to come straight back again! It was the best decision not to run from these confronting feelings but instead choose to feel what was actually going on. Now I realise I reacted to joyfull people because I was not joyfull and therefore I had to ask myself what are these people doing to allow this? and what am I doing to not be this?

     1. Ha ha ha, your comment made me laugh as I can relate. I have done it myself, react to people who have their lives together, be jealous of how joyfull they are and I have watched and observed as others have done so too. It is confronting when you would like it but know you haven’t lived it, but what you can do is that rather than react to it, use these people as a road map, as an inspiration and learn from them rather than walk away from them.

323. I love what you have written and can relate to it well. The numbing choices we have made and the immense changes when being supported to feel the difference. The work of Serge Banhayon and family provides a new sense of freedom with clear responsibility. It is wonderfully simple, practical and loving. ‘Oops’still occur – but no judgement, just the opportunity to feel and step back to the path – many thanks for your blog it reminded me of sailing club days which were pretty thirsty times! oops!

     1. I just had a thought of why is it that sailors often drink so much and I wonder is it because life on the sea is tough and to numb the toughness, to not feel how tired their bodies are, the solution is another drink? They often don’t drink at sea but the minute they hit land, and they have to connect with people again, the only way they feel safe to do so is under the influence. Interesting.

324. Wow, a very honest account of your story thus far. There are many many people who will read this and will relate to your story, as do I. The drugs, partying, feeling angry, being irresponsible, rebellious…. and that, little by little, you have been able to change your life to one you are enjoying so much more. I love your honesty in saying that it is not always easy. Great sharing.

325. Your blog is so relatable for me and I’m sure many others, the alcohol, drugs, not taking responsibility and pretending everything was fine but on the inside in complete devastation and emptiness. It is amazing the level of self abuse we will inflict on our bodies and yet ‘think’ that it is okay. Fortunately I too was inspired and continue to be to this very day by everything that has been presented to me from Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon. But it is more than what is presented, it is to see and feel another living their full potential, with love and integrity and I see that in the Benhayon family, within you, within myself and in many of the Esoteric students. Not in perfection, but as students of a true living way.

326. As I was reading your blog, I could so relate to feeling “not sure this is for me” particularly at the start of my reawakening journey as a friend loaned me one of Serge Benhayon’s books. It stayed on a shelf for a very long time till one day I picked it up and read the first page – put it down for a few more days – then one rainy day a client had not turned up for her appointment – the rest is history I could not put the book down I felt it was speaking directly to me. Your journey is amazing, thank you for sharing.

327. What an amazing turn around! You are a true inspiration. I could really feel how much you haven’t allowed perfection to get in the way of you building your true self back up. I’m sure the early stages were not easy, but you persevered, knowing you were more than what you were settling for. Pretty Awesome!

     1. This is so true Elodie. The teachings presented by Universal Medicine encourage and inspire us to feel just how beautiful and worthy we are, so much more than what we often settle for in life. Truly inspiring.

328. This is what I would call a ‘true’ healing. It reminds me of a story my mother used to read to me when I was a little boy about a ‘lost son’. Back then as also now – reading your story – I feel the joy when a member of the family comes home after a long journey.

329. ” I am constantly willing to work on myself and be honest and gentle with my own personal development. I now realise that first we have to make the changes in ourselves, to love ourselves first. This has not been easy for me as I was always so tough but slowly, with baby-like steps, I am able to make changes…” A beautiful read, thank you for the sharing of how your life has changed. For me too, baby steps are the way forward – just being me.

330. What a beautiful woman you are anonymous and so inspirational. I loved reading about your self loving choices and the amazing changes that occurred because of them.

331. I love the honesty – in what you have expressed in the blog but also with yourself. It’s definitely not an easy step to be brutally honest with ourselves, nor to take full responsibility for life. I have found that once I take that first step the path I step onto is so incredible.

332. It amazes me when I read stories like yours. Your life is so different now to what it use to be and there are so many more people like you, including me, who can testify to the massive changes that have happened in their lives since attending Universal Medicine events. Your story is amazingly inspirational, thank you for sharing it so openly and honestly.

333. The transformation you describe here brings me tears of Joy.
     I find it tremendously encouraging to see how a person can go from consistently choosing not to feel or deal with what is shaping her life to choosing to make loving changes and do the work of getting honest and aware. Anybody can make this shift!
     You are truly an inspiring role model now!

334. Yep I am with all of the above…WOW. You are a very inspiring, anonymous! Thank you.

335. Wow, that’s a massive change. Inspirational is an understatement.

336. Wow, how far you have come and how inspiring is it to read about all the choices you have made in your life! Life is all about choices and taking responsibility, as you have shared, in how we live. What is offered by Universal Medicine presentations, workshops and amazing healing modalities provides a true way to support us to make sustainable changes which I am personally forever grateful for.

337. Thank you for your honesty and openness. I too have been on a similar path of smoking marijuana for twenty years and had I not met Serge Benhayon, I would be still traveling in that lost direction. It was not easy to turn my life around as it requires self-responsibility and to make self-loving choices but Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon are there to support you every step of the way back. I am forever grateful for their support.

338. I love what you have shared. You have expressed in such a real way, a way that is so relatable and honest.

339. Amazing to re-visit this blog. An incredible transformation to living a life so full and truly taking responsibility for your life and your choices.

340. Truly inspiring! The line ‘I had to take responsibility and realise, that the only person that could change things now was me’ is very empowering. To realise that you are not at the mercy of anyone or anything else and that you have the power to change your life is a life changing moment.

341. Goodness, it was such a pleasure to read your blog. What you shared was a great key to supporting someone with a long term addiction and it was simply to let them see there is another way. You say that you blamed everyone for where you were in life but now you share that you have a solid and supportive lifestyle from being really gentle and tender with yourself and letting yourself heal those hurts – that really inspires me.

342. I can completely relate to making massive changes to what I was totally down with as normal! I was also 3 stone heavier, had asthma and hay fever, etc. etc., but those are just side benefits. If I had stayed the same weight etc. I would still be living inspired by what Universal Medicine presents because it is how I feel on the inside that has changed profoundly. I have a greater ease and love of myself and others that was not present even after 7 years of therapy and training to be a psychotherapist.

343. I love how you have written how you’re not perfect but working on things and being gentle on yourself. This really rang accord for me, as I know that when I am gentle with myself and recognise when the old ways are not working the change happens with a steady and loving pace. When I am hard on myself, doubt stops me from getting through. Your transformation is remarkable

     1. Doubt can be crippling and we really have to learn to feel it when it pops its head up and not invite it into our thoughts as it serves no one.

344. Thank you for your beautiful and honest account. Knowing you today, your radiance, your will, your beauty, your commitment to life, who would of thought that what you described here was your life before Universal Medicine? The changes that you have made to your life are inspirational to all – keep on shining girl.

345. Yes, anonymous ‘I had to take responsibility and realise, that the only person that could change things now was me.’ – This is a turning point for many of us. The trap is if you think you are being responsible, as I did, – and yes indeed I was, in the world of doing things – but since being with Universal Medicine, I have uncovered many areas where I am not taking full responsibility and where I make myself a victim of circumstances which means that I withdraw and hold back from expressing. This means that I am not taking responsibility to be the woman I know I can be. While it is painful to see this, it is also a relief because the old way no longer seems comfortable and I can now see areas where I can ‘develop and grow’ and unfold back to being naturally Me.

     1. Being a victim of circumstance is a choice, not something that happens to us. We really need to get this and understand it because true freedom is knowing that absolutely every situation you find yourself in, is a consequence of your choices.

346. Thank you for sharing such an amazing transformation and it is very lovely to see you shinning your light, very inspiring.

347. This is beautiful to read your story and experiences and your determination in where you have got to with the inspiration from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. It Shows the power of your choices that we can all have, the changes we can all make in our lives and the ever evolving journey to more love.

348. Hi, I have got to know you over the last few months and found you to be a particularly awesome, dynamic, honest, gorgeous and motivated person. It is amazing to read your blog and hear about your past – you are indeed a living miracle. It is also stunning to witness how many other such miracles happen around Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. Now I think about it, my life turnaround has also been nothing short of miraculous!

349. You are a shining light! Your turn around is nothing short of a living miracle and I loved reading your story with all its honesty and lack of judgement. Your dedication and commitment to enhancing your own well being is clear when you write. I love this: ‘ I have not suddenly “got it” and am not perfect, I am constantly willing to work on myself and be honest and gentle with my own personal development. I now realise that first we have to make the changes in ourselves, to love ourselves first.’

350. What an incredible journey, you have so clearly explained the real help and healing offered to us by Universal Medicine, Chakra-puncture and Serge Benhayon and shown us just how much this can support us to address our issues and change the way we live each day. And this sentence is very important “I loved the fact that it was not like a religion, here everyone was accepted no matter what they did or didn’t do” as it is true. No-one is ever judged for how they chose to live. We are given a reflection, a marker of true love and then it is up to us how much we chose to align to that marker. It is about true choice, true empowerment, not living by rules and regulations. Thank you for sharing your life so honestly and showing us all that we can address and heal deeply painful experiences and re-claim our own dignity, love and self respect.

     1. Well said Rowena. People are loved and accepted as they are. It is the reflection that inspires change and the seeing what is possible. This blog is a fantastic example of what is possible.

351. What an amazing turnaround, thank you for sharing so clearly your transformation. Truly inspiring is the way that you have been committed to change “…I am constantly willing to work on myself and be honest and gentle with my own personal development.”

352. I love how your blog exemplifies the freedom to choose that is inherent in everything about Universal Medicine – that we and we alone decide what is right for us, when and how.

     1. Exactly Cathy it is totally down to us what we chose I for a case in point have not attended any healing courses for 2+ years and I am not treated any differently to someone who attends everything, that is remarkable and unique!

     2. Yes I agree Cathy, it is up to us to choose and live with the consequences. Whether that is not taking care of ourselves by smoking, drinking alcohol and going to bed late or do the opposite. And the same for Universal Medicine only I decide what I do take on from the presentations and when and where I will attend.

353. Hi, thank you for your blog, I always find it amazing to read the story of other students, how we make all those changes in our lives on one point or another. How we are taking more responsibility for our own choices made in past and are aware what those choices have lead us to. Just like you my life has changed enormously with listening to audio’s and reading the books of Serge Benhayon and then meeting Serge and his family in person and doing the Universal Medicine courses. But the most important part is that I started to love myself and am able to make different choices which supports me to live a vital and joyful life everyday.

     1. When we start to really love ourselves, everything changes and it is so simple yet not so common. It seems that it is normal to talk harshly of ourselves, find all our faults yet the confirming, loving and appreciating is less accepted and less practised. I feel so different when I love myself up and everyone around me gets a dose just as a side effect. Its a win win for everyone.

354. This experience was true for me too ‘I loved the fact that there were no rules, because rules have always made me rebel’. Had there been rules, I would not have stuck around but there are none, only a confirmation to feel what is true.

355. Great blog, it is great to read how you (and countless others) have changed your life so dramatically with the support of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine practitioners and students to make new choices. Very inspiring to read – thank you.

356. Wow. Amazing to read how you have turned your life around. So beautiful to feel how no one told you what to do or not do but you yourself were inspired by a quality of living and loving choices that you were seeing and feeling in others.

357. The transformation in your life, feels huge – and to go from one extreme (drug-use, out of work, taking your emotional issues out on your family) to the other extreme of living a life of true health and quality, whereby you are inspiring others around you, is nothing short of a lived miracle! (Which is not to discount or discredit the fact that this is all of your doing – but rather, you have yourself enacted this miracle). And in such a short space of time. May you continue to grow and inspire the world!

358. Like Gill, I also really enjoyed reading the huge turnaround you have had and made in your life. It is Awesome to read and very inspiring. Thank you for sharing your story.

359. I really enjoyed reading the huge turnaround you have been through in your life. My journey was not so outwardly extreme but it was similar because I have also been very passive when I have failed to take responsibility for myself and my decisions. And I used to be very quick to blame others when anything went wrong, but now I am learning it’s down to me and my choices.

360. It’s a very inspiring story, thank you for sharing here so honestly.

361. “And to me, that was normal and I was “fine”. I would go out with friends, drink alcohol, go to festivals and take ecstasy, magic mushrooms and a few other drugs. I thought I was fine, because I wasn’t doing cocaine or heroin.”
     How often do we kid ourselves into thinking we’re not doing anything wrong because we compare ourselves to what else more brutal, more savage, is going on around us? Too often…in this comparison and judgement we lose sight of what is really going on within and around us. It is often only when we see there are others on the opposite side of the scale, living a far more loving and supportive way that we get to see how far we have fallen.

362. You make an interesting point, about thinking you were doing ok because you weren’t on harder drugs. I guess that is a reflection for us all, we can feel we are “doing ok” but how much more fully could we be living? Universal Medicine and it’s practitioners have given me a reflection of a way of living with energy and vitality that is way beyond what I believed was possible before.

363. Hi, you are a true inspiration.

364. Just reread this inspiring story again after quite some time and still love it as much. Your honesty and practicality is beautiful, so down to earth.Thanks again for sharing. I too had a bit of a rough road before Universal Medicine and at times its still not as smooth as I would like but like you I am forever learning and I am definitely in this for ever and ever Amen.

     1. Like how you say you are in this for ever, because for me it feels the same. To me, there is no other way than The Way of The Livingness and I am committed 100% and more because I have tried and tested and it works that is for sure.

365. what an amazing story, thank you so much for your honesty. What a journey, it is amazing to read about the changes and commitment it must take to make them. Very inspiring, thank you.

366. Thank you for sharing your amazing story of self re-dicovery. You are like Cinderella but in the end it is not the prince you live happily ever after with…it is yourself, you have found the lovely person you have always been and you and every one around you lives happily ever after.

     1. Great way to put it Steve, I agree fully and a very inspiring story that also shows the amazing support that Chakra-puncture can offer in helping support the choices we make.

     2. Beautifully said. The blog shows us that we can all find our “inner prince charming” and live happily ever after.

        1. Thanks everyone, I am definitely Cinderella, and living happier than ever before, loving life and everything that is unfolding for me. I realise now that the more and more I let go of control, the more amazing things unfold so the concept of needing things to be a certain way actually just gets in the way of what miracles can occur.

367. wow that is one major turn around of a way of living life of essentially abuse to another way of living life that supports you to be your amazing self. Very inspiring!

     1. Yes, I do feel like I have had 2 lives this lifetime. The old one, in a haze and with drugs and checked out, in poverty and constant struggle to now, vital, vibrant, abundant, aware, joyfull and loving life!

368. This was lovely to read, and great to share how with the loving support of those around you, you were able to address issues that were running through your life. That is what is awesome about Universal Medicine and the network it brings as there is support and love there for us all, always.

369. Very powerful.

370. This is absolutely beautiful. The changes you have made are profound. For me too, Esoteric Chakra-puncture and the Esoteric Chakra-puncture Detox were the turning points. How blessed we all are to have this and the other Esoteric Healing modalities to support us to return to who we truly are.

     1. This is true, Shevon and it is great to have articles such as these that show us that no matter how far we have stepped away, we can always come back to being ourselves.

371. A great blog. Your honesty is clear and powerful as you express the simple changes you have made that have had such a huge affect on your life. A true inspiration for many.

372. Thank you for being so honest and open about your life. It just goes to show how we can turn our lives around and choose to make more self loving choices and reap the benefits.

373. What is really inspiring about this blog is that anyone, regardless of background or past choices can make the choice to stop, change and reverse all of it into a more self-loving life.

374. What an amazing story, so honest and inspiring. It proves that we can turn our life round by choice at any time. I suppose that can be called a miracle.

375. Amazing to read your story. What a turn around.

376. An honest account of how many people convince themselves that drugs and smoking do not affect the way you live. It is inspiring to read how it is possible to come to see this for what it is and choose to make changes that bring joy back into your life.

     1. Yes Mary, I have known people who smoked dope and would convince themselves that it is natural, that it is fine to smoke that- that it is not doing any harm, and that they do not have an addiction. Yet, they were unable to stop the habit and feel life from outside that illusion. Your life now has turned around and is truly amazing.

377. A very inspiring story and I can really resonate with this. It is great to feel how amazing your changes have been and how much you are enjoying life now.

378. I really enjoyed reading this again after two years. It is a marvellous example of the effect honesty can have in changing our lives. Chakra Puncture is an amazing modality but I feel it was the embracing of honesty that turned life around for you. It is a great and inspiring story.

     1. Yes agree, honesty is a wonderful tool that many are afraid to use, because you have to see it all as it really is but it leads to healing and without the honesty it takes a long hard thog of trying to understand and unravel all the hidden things we have when we are not honest.

379. Great article, I really like how honest you have been.

380. Thank you for sharing your story and giving me and others a deep insight into your life before and after meeting and being inspired by Serge Benhayon. The marijuana brownies made me laugh and I love your style of writing.
     It is hard to believe that you studied nutrition and as a medical herbalist with your abusive way of living.
     I work in the well being industry and the one thing I always say is that how can anyone present well-being if they do not live in that way everyday. One example I use is that if I was exhausted and drank coffee then how can I tell anyone to stop caffeine. It is that simple and I present only what I live and it makes sense and definitely has results.

     1. Yes Bina, I too find it unbelievable that people can present and even offer “healings” on well being but do not live that. It is such a head based knowledge. There is no backing behind these presentations or healings. The power that comes when someone lives in a wholesome and responsible way is unavoidable, they don’t even need to present or heal in order to offer it to others.

        1. I love what you say here Nikki and I know it is true. The person who lives their talk, doesn’t even need to talk it as it is there by the way the live and even if you don’t have a session with them, you get a healing just by seeing them, watching them or reading their blog. You feel their essence, you feel who they are and that alone can be very inspiring.

     2. This is great that you only practise what you preach Bina, but unfortunately that is not the case with a lot of natural therapy practitioners and doctors around the world.

381. It is totally inspiring that you have let go of so many old behaviours in such a short time, wow from me.

382. Thanks for sharing this, I bet your family and old friends can’t believe the difference between the old and the new you. Sometimes I bump into some of my old drinking, smoking and drug taking buddies they look ten years older bloated and look like they have high blood pressure, and me? I’ve never looked or felt so good, thanks to the positive changes I have made due to the inspiration of Serge Benhayon and all the other evolving people I have met through Universal Medicine

     1. I agree Kevin McHardy – you really do look amazing and I remember you when you were still drinking and looking a bit rough. Today you are a super cool dude in my books and I know you were the man who inspired my husband to have a look at what Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine were presenting. Today he too is a Superman Clarke Kent in the world, just like you.

     2. Yes Kevin, I get told that I look great, and the truth is I feel great. I have friends and family that still react to how well I am doing, because it brings things up for them, but that is okay, that is their choice and is mostly because they are just jealous that I have sorted my life out, have a car, a house and a job and am healthier and more vibrant than ever before.

383. Wow, what a story: heartfelt and inspiring. Thank you for sharing with honesty as you are a living example that we can change our lives to regain control of it rather than by it.

384. Your loveliness shines through this post, thank you

385. Thank you for sharing so honestly your life before you met Serge Benhayon and the changes you have and are now experiencing due to your choices. It is very inspiring to read how you have changed your life around.

386. Thank you for sharing and being so honest, it is amazing how far we can change once we make that choice. Your blog is an inspiration for those that want to change their lives, you have shown it is possible.

387. Thank you, for sharing such an inspirational story of change through the choices of truth and love. Like for many of us in the student body the work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine has allowed for much transformation and change for the better, and this also has a huge ripple effect through the greater community. The positive, caring and responsibly awesome person you are today reflects a lot to others.

388. Thanks, this is an awesome story — you are an inspiration.

389. Amazing, thank you for sharing this.

390. Thank you for sharing with us your experiences. It is lovely to hear how you turned your life around by taking more responsibility for your own choices. So inspiring to read how powerful we are when we feel what is true, and combine this with a persistence and a dedication to making it happen.

391. Inspiring stuff. By opening your heart to yourself you have been able to make changes that would appear incomprehensible to most people. Now that is a miracle!

392. Thank you for sharing your story. Wow. That’s pretty much all I can say… Wow!

393. What changes! who could be but inspired. Thank you.

394. Thank you, that is wonderful to read.

395. Geez, so much for the usual 12 step program to recovery from drugs, eh? What an awesome story of finding yourself so quickly after such a long period of numbing via drugs, etc. It brought up for me how in the past I’ve used things like intellectual pursuits (reading, researching various spiritual topics, science, etc. ) and sports to check out and bury my issues. How inspiring of a story your’s is for us all. Thank you for your openness!

     1. yeah well, I did go to one Alcoholic Anonymous group once or twice and what I learnt from that experience was that they had to keep going, with the same sad stories and read the same things again and again as if they were doomed and stuck in their predicament and that change was not possible. That was not an option for me!

396. Wow, your story is very inspiring!

397. Thank you, your honesty and openness are very inspiring.

398. Wow – from back and forth resistance and then commitment towards love you had always felt – truly inspiring to read your story of personal development that is, and as you write an ongoing and amazing process of change, transformation and growth. Thank you.

399. The power of knowing it is never too late to be true to yourself and that in fact it is the only way, is an inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing that.

400. The changes you have made to your life are extraordinary.

     Like you, many Universal Medicine students have embraced self-responsibility and simplicity to unravel more joy, energy and fulfillment, to the point where these awesome transformations are becoming quite commonplace.

     But what is more amazing, as you have shared, is the inspirational affect that those changes are having on other people.

     1. Self-responsibility and simplicity – they’re not such complicated things yet it’s amazing that we avoid them. It’s also amazing what happens when we no longer avoid them as is the case with this blog.

401. Thank you, that was truly amazing and inspiring.

402. It is very touching how honestly and simply you have presented your story. In a way many of us have the same story (from losing ourselves to reconnecting).
     I love your sentence about Serge’s talks “They are not always easy to listen to because there is so much truth in them, and as I was so good at avoiding truth, it brought up lots of issues for me.”
     I know what you mean, it can be very confronting but goodness how amazingly worthwhile it is as your story so beautifully shows.

     1. Well said Nicola, its very inspiring to see the amazing and loving changes of so many and the incredible stories from what Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine present.

        1. I Agree David, it is beautiful to see the loving changes that many have made and how they have turned their lives around after attending presentations from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. Very inspiring.

     2. Very true Nicola, truth can really rock the boat and one needs to be very loving towards themselves to see without judgement what is really going on.

403. Thank you – really appreciate your honesty and loved hearing about your journey and all the changes along the way – AWESOME !

404. In reading your story I can feel the power and strength you have along with so much beauty and grace, to simply allow yourself to be responsible and make loving choices.

     1. So true Sally, it’s amazing to see what the power and strength of a person can achieve.

405. Your story was inspiring to read – so honest and beautiful – thank you. I especially loved your comment; “I have not suddenly “got it” and am not perfect, I am constantly willing to work on myself and be honest and gentle with my own personal development. I now realize that first we have to make the changes in ourselves, to love ourselves first.” So simple, and so true!

     1. I have found that making changes to love myself (and then others), is one of the first steps forward. It’s amazing how just this alone causes changes in our lives. The key thing I have experienced is to remember to bring it back to the self, be gentle and work on changes, by being honest with myself and how I’m feeling.

406. Wow what an amazing story. Such drastic changes in just 3 years, of habits over 15 years old. It is so inspiring to hear everyone’s stories, how people can change their life completely, from discovering another way of connecting and being with themselves, and seeing that they have the power to take responsibility and make different choices from here. I too have experienced this within myself, it’s like another power from within. This is the story that the media should be writing about! and the truth will eventually come out, about the amazing life changes that are happening here, it will be a remembered point in time that people will look back to and go wow they were amazing times… and eventually people will start to stop and look in amazement at what is truly going on. I have never seen a program in our current health care system or government organisations that can inspire and bring about such changes as this in such a short period of time, in so many people. Thank God for the esoteric way of living, and for Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine for sharing this with us so we can remember.

     1. Well Said Danielle and Mary – It is truly inspiring how anonymous and many others, myself included, have turned our lives around after attending presentations by Universal Medicine and being inspired to make loving choices.

     2. Hear Hear Danielle this is what the press and health bodies should be lining up to study and share — begs the question why they aren’t….

407. Goodness, Gracious, your story – my tears 🙂
     How utterly inspiring, most illuminating and immensely moving your journey and your experience with Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon is.
     I am at a loss for words – but what I do have is: THANK YOU. Dragana.

408. Very inspiring and beautifully expressed, thanks.

409. What an awesome story! So cool how you got back to feeling things for yourself and the simplicity unfolded from there. Awesome!
