When I first met Serge Benhayon, I felt tired, frumpy and fat. At the time I considered myself to be a life-long student, practitioner and teacher of kinesiology, and ran a very successful kinesiology clinic with my partner. However, we were also both overweight, consumed too much alcohol, chocolate and coffee, worked too hard and argued a lot. Added to this I was pre-diabetic, had endometriosis, suffered from migraines, depression, had a slipped disc and underlying exhaustion. In short, I wasn’t very well.
I had, like plenty of other people in the world, a professional persona and a private one, and at times they were greatly at odds with one another. I knew that drinking alcohol wasn’t a great thing to do and would often vow to cut down on my intake, but every Friday night my partner and I would slump exhausted onto the sofa and out would come the wine and chocolate. It felt like a treat at the end of a long week.
In April 2006 a friend and colleague invited us to join a workshop given by a “very interesting man”. He shared a few pieces of intriguing information that seemed radically at odds with our current philosophies. We were interested in discovering more and signed up to go on a Sacred Esoteric Healing Level 1 course.
As the course unfolded there appeared to be a few fundamental points that create the platform for true healing. On the basis that everything in the world is made of energy, there are in fact two types of energy: one is the energy of love, and the other is an energy that is not love. We were introduced to a beautifully simple breathing technique that enabled us to connect with the energy of love within us, and then taken through some practical exercises that allowed us to feel the tangible difference between these two energies. It was like choosing between a warm bath and a cold shower. This was very new to me, but from now on I was suddenly very sure about which energy I wanted to start choosing.
The second point built on the first. If everything is energy, then there is no magic boundary between the professional persona and the private one. I realised that, like it or not, everything that I did privately had been joining in with my professional work. It didn’t matter how qualified I might be, all those emotional dumping, wine swigging, chocolate scoffing, coffee guzzling little moments had been accompanying me into my clinic room and mingling with my healing sessions. Oh my God, why hasn’t someone said this before?
The next profound point was that in every other healing modality, alternative and orthodox, the focus is always on the client and their body. As practitioners, we never pay attention to what is happening in our own bodies, and hence are not caring for ourselves as we might. If we are serious about healing, then we need to be focussing on connecting to love and creating a loving way of life, so that when we step into the clinic room we bring with us all the love we have been living. Healing is about love first and foremost, not knowledge or formulae, and if we truly want to heal, then we truly need to immerse ourselves in love first!
During the course, the firm focus was on connecting to and feeling a delicious and divine energy of love in our own bodies, and to stay with it using the breathing technique. Using this as the fundamental principle we paired up and began some guided ‘hands on’ sessions. We put our hands on the other person’s body, all the while focussing on our breath and letting the other person’s body get on with the healing. As I lay on the couch, memories of past traumas, of which there have been many, began evaporating out of my body. Ten years of kinesiology had never done that.
The morning after the course we both had a healing session with Serge Benhayon, and this time I could fully appreciate and feel all of the truth of what he had spent the last two days presenting. Serge was simply the most astute, honourable and trustworthy man I have ever had the privilege to meet, and this session the most direct healing I had ever experienced. Serge simply felt astonishingly transparent. It was very evident, (and still is today) that there were no dual personas with this man; he walked his talk in every conceivable way possible. We never spoke about alcohol or drinking in my session – just focussed on my depression. However, from that day forward, wine, no matter how splendid the vintage or grape, just smells of vinegar and is rather off-putting. Going teetotal is one of the most natural things I have ever done.
In over 26 years of combined experience in the field of alternative medicine, neither my partner nor I had ever been introduced to such an easy way to discern energy, or such a commonsense approach to health and healing. When we attended this course, it was with the firm expectation of going home with some brand new tools under our belt to offer our clients. What we ended up with was a completely new healing paradigm and an awful lot of questions. It was very evident to us that whatever we had spent the last ten years plus doing, it wasn’t healing – and subsequently put into question all of our long held business plans. Over the ensuing months we began to cut our ties with kinesiology and transform not only our working practice but also our day-to-day living, and six years on we are very different people enjoying a very different relationship.
The task of building a ‘body of love’ with which to work soon became a path of just naturally discovering what supported me and us and what didn’t. I began to feel that all the things I had considered to be ‘treats’ – staying up late to watch a movie, coffee with cream, ice cream, cakes and chocolate – in fact made me really ill. Compared to this delicious warm energy I could feel inside me, I began to know what the word ‘treat’ really meant. It is a ‘treat’ to feel well, and so I continued the process of finding out what heals me and what harms me and the beauty of it is, it’s my call… not some imposed dictate. All Serge had done and continues to do to this day, is gracefully reflect how to love ourselves. One of the main things he encourages us to do is feel for ourselves. If we discern the world on an energetic basis first and trust our own feelings, we can never be fooled.
Over six years my blood sugar level has returned to normal and I have lost weight without trying, in fact I feel like I have got a slow puncture. My endometriosis has almost entirely cleared up and my periods are becoming, wait for it, joyful! My slipped disc slipped back and my migraines are now mi-gones. That ever so constant and underlying depression and exhaustion vanished, and my relationship with my beautiful husband is playful, honest, supportive and yes, loving. Learning to love and nurture myself is still a process of trial and error, but now I am a lifelong student of Me and my day-to-day living. There is no qualification at the end, and by its very nature this journey will always be on-going.
I stepped back from treating. I have issues to heal and I was pretending to be the perfect practitioner – never a good thing – particularly as it is an impossibility. I had to learn to make loving choices just for me, not because I was an esoteric practitioner. Throughout the entire process all I have ever experienced is love and support from Serge Benhayon and the Universal Medicine team. Love after all is not about what I do, what I know or pertain to be. Love is who I am and that applies to every one of us in equal measure. I know now that healing comes from me choosing love and permeates everything I do. It does not come from affirmations, tapping points, the latest modality or prescribed formulas. Healing is about taking responsibility for the choice of energy behind my behaviour, thoughts and emotions, nurturing my body and living each day with grace, ready and willing to do whatever is required.
Thank you Serge Benhayon, for so solidly and consistently reflecting with such loving regard for all humanity, that there is a true way to live on this planet – a way full of grace, tenderness and harmony – a way that makes the ordinary life extraordinary to live.
I haven’t met anyone like Serge Benhayon or his family, for me they represent a different way of living which is to build a body of love as you say Rowena and simply see if that makes a difference to the way we are currently living.
.
I loved the analogy of “choosing between a warm bath and a cold shower”, and I agree with you I much prefer the warm bath. Sometimes I don’t always feel it, but the thought of a cold shower makes my goosebumps stand up.
There is so much of life that we do not understand or realise about until Serge Benhayon speaks of it. Then life makes sense only if you choose to allow it to make sense. At the end of the day, we all have upon us the will and the responsibility to make the choice, which one is dependent on the individual and not Serge Benhayon.
I know which choice I have made and often make. From time to time I take a cold shower and that’s ok, as I am far from perfect but I continue on till one day, there will only be warm baths.
Rowena you have nailed it here – anyone of us can be the healer when we so choose to do so: “Healing is about taking responsibility for the choice of energy behind my behaviour, thoughts and emotions, nurturing my body and living each day with grace, ready and willing to do whatever is required.”
Years ago I hadn’t’t realised the healer needed integrity and responsibility to the service provided. And yet I felt it deep down inside that something wasn’t right and this was it, the responsibility behind everything we do. It is that simple, take care of yourself first, then the responsibility becomes more and more refined. The only thing is we get in the way but it will always be there, ready to work with you from that service of love, it is that simple.
I love how this blog presents the importance of the practitioner and client as being fully equal. This is rarely something we see in society be this in the medical field or in the complementary therapies, but in the end this is the simple truth that we all need to learn to live and practice whether we are clients or practitioners.
It is such a common thing to have different ‘hats’ or personas that we ‘wear’ when we are at work or at home or with certain people and yet this is a completely false way to live. What an awful feeling to expose oneself when we do this and yet it is the greatest way to heal and learn to live a truth.
Rowena thank you for being so honest and raising this extremely important point that we all over look
“If everything is energy, then there is no magic boundary between the professional persona and the private one. I realised that, like it or not, everything that I did privately had been joining in with my professional work. It didn’t matter how qualified I might be, all those emotional dumping, wine swigging, chocolate scoffing, coffee guzzling little moments had been accompanying me into my clinic room and mingling with my healing sessions. Oh my God, why hasn’t someone said this before?”
And worse if the practitioner is into drugs, or pornography what’s the energy coming through them that we then get affected by? If we were to read energy first a lot of people who work in the ‘health industry’ would be out of work because no one would go to visit them for a treatment. How many of us get fooled by a lovely quiet waiting room and a professional looking member of staff. I can put both hands up and say I did.
Serge Benhayon does walk his talk, is transparent, and has the most integrity in anyone I have ever come across, ‘Serge was simply the most astute, honourable and trustworthy man I have ever had the privilege to meet, and this session the most direct healing I had ever experienced. Serge simply felt astonishingly transparent. It was very evident, (and still is today) that there were no dual personas with this man; he walked his talk in every conceivable way possible.’
It’s really life changing discerning the two different sources of energy we can draw from and feeling their qualities in our body. It brings an absoluteness of truth to any situation because words can sound good and the surface of things can look good but how they actually feel uncovers the truth and what can’t truly be hidden.
I love reading the stories of how people used to live their lives before meeting Serge Benhayon and then the changes that happen after. It is inspiring to see how easy a lifestyle change can really be.
This is such an amazing read, thank you Rowena. “If we are serious about healing, then we need to be focussing on connecting to love and creating a loving way of life, so that when we step into the clinic room we bring with us all the love we have been living.” I feel this is true for every job and part of life because the potential for healing in all of our relationships is really great when we live from love. The whole world is our clinic room when we allow ourselves to be the love we are.
“I had, like plenty of other people in the world, a professional persona and a private one, and at times they were greatly at odds with one another” – I think this is quite common, and we can even be complacent and say ‘No one is perfect’ and accept this kind of way of being as normal. But we all know living in the constant state of lying is a recipe for dis-ease.
It is simple, our living way determines our well-being and even science has proved it but we stubbornly hold onto what we want to do. Serge Benhayon lives what he knows is true and does not waver from it, a way of living that is sorely missing in this world and the answer to all our woes.
With you on thanking Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine for reflecting that there is another way to live and be true to yourself. And yes we may have stuff to heal and clear from our bodies, and when we begin this process we are creating space for more love to flow through our bodies.
‘Healing is about love first and foremost, not knowledge or formulae, and if we truly want to heal, then we truly need to immerse ourselves in love first!’ Yes we do, and the best place to start if we have lost our path or direction is to be honest with ourselves with all we have been choosing and creating.
I used to be one of your husbands clients since I was 7. The difference between the feeling of Kinesiology and Sacred Esoteric Healing is like chalk and cheese. With Esoteric healing I felt more alive and inspired to make loving choices in my life. Kinesiology buried things so that I could carry on and function.
Simply the fact of energetic responsibility that Serge Benhayon has presented for many years now and that a practitioner’s private life affects their clinical life is a game changer for all healing and medicine in the world.
To me it’s now a clear matter of common sense, but 7 years ago I was seeing ‘energy healers’ using reiki and other modalities for self-help by practitioners that looked and felt in a worse off state than I was myself! How can someone be offering ‘healing’ if they themselves are not dealing with or healing themselves in the process. I never understood it and it always felt strange that I was going to people for help that could not help themselves.
I have also reconsidered my definition of a treat- interesting that I used to say I was ‘spoiling myself’ when I ate or drank something unhealthy but now I still say I am ‘spoiling’ myself knowing that the truth is that these foods and drinks may seem like treats but they are actually toxins compared to the love I know in my body and they spoil my ability to connect with that essence of love inside me.
Andrew I liked your take on “spoiling myself” really meaning “spoiling my ability to connect with that essence of love inside me.”
Well said Andrew – and how funny would it sound if we spoke the truth and said “What a huge working week now I need to go home and abuse my body with some alcohol etc”…
There is no one else that I have ever encountered who presents the way that Serge Benhayon does on the importance of energetic integrity.
Healing is about love first and foremost, but when you have spend years resisting and blocking the flow, it takes one to stop ( or mostly life presents situations that provide a big stop moment), and get honest with how one is living and what is not working… Thus healing begins with breaking old patterns and momentums that were not loving and actually self-abusive, and from this space, it becomes easier to make choices that are self-caring, self-nurturing and loving and the more we do, the more love we access and allow.
Love to read this blog today on the real meaning of healing. What I have learned is that in order to let go of the past ( old behaviours, patterns, habits that do not serve my growth or my future), you need to change the energy. As is shared in this awesome blog, healing is about taking responsibility for all our choices, including the choice of energy that we have aligned and of which there are two; either the energy of love, (Soul) or the energy of everything that is not love (spirit). When we align to love we are able to make truly nurturing and caring choices which allows us to access love, grace and all the magic that life holds.
Hats off to you for being so honest while you were a healer in the past, as only with true honesty can we see beyond the illusion and touch upon the true truth we deserve and miss all our lives.
It’s a big realisation to come to – when you realise that the personal/private time effects work. People can talk about work life balance, but whats the balance? How can their be balance when work is in life and life is about work? Getting to the point of it being all the same is a huge relief because then your not chasing the holidays or dreading work.
Beautifully shared Rachael – we constantly chase a dream and a holiday when we do not realise that it is the energy (or how we are with something) we are trying to escape rather than the work itself. Allowing ourselves to be with each activity gives it back its power to regenerate us.
To come back to knowing what love in your body, to understand that there is no public and private, there is just us everywhere and that each choice matters, and that the next choice can be different … we are a body of love living in a body of love, it’s for us to choose to live it.
A treat is the best way to preserve the status quo. The status quo gets the treat of us stuck where we are.
To repeatedly treat ourselves is a re-treat away from who we are. 🙂
In is interesting to read that there are only two ways, or two energies to choose, love and not love, and that in both ways there is an understanding of healing. Point is however is that in choosing for love, the healing that comes with it is from love too and will support us in the letting go of all that is not love we have taken on while when we choose for not love the healing will be from not love too and brings harm instead.
There is much resistance to that what Serge Benhayon presents because of the investment most people tend to have in the creation life is. The people that come to his presentations and healing session however, are ready to let go of their investment in this creation and come to Serge as from a magnetic pull, because they are ready for it. That is the magic of true healing too, that when one is ready for true healing that you will be led to the place where you will be able to receive and reconnect to this.
Ditto!! From day one Serge Benhayon has been so consistent and unwavering in his deep love for everyone.
The simplicity of the choices we can make that bring true joy and healing to our lives disarms very beautifully all our beliefs and patterns that have got us in the complication and mess we are in.
Beautiful testimony of the magic of Universal Medicine. When we learn to discern energy, nothing in this life can fool us – we can smell the lie, taste the deceit and read the pretend.
And see the Truth by receiving the image of what is True rather than projecting what think we see.
Indeed Viktoria, our senses will serve to their true nature in pointing our way in the world of energy we live in.
‘Thank you Serge Benhayon, for so solidly and consistently reflecting with such loving regard for all humanity, that there is a true way to live on this planet – a way full of grace, tenderness and harmony – a way that makes the ordinary life extraordinary to live.” I cannot second that enough 🙂 It is a great blessing to humanity and one day it will be know for what it was and is: the way out of this negative spiral we as a humanity have gotten ourselves hopelessly lost in.
Yes and Serge Benhayon will be known for the world teacher and philosopher that he is.
The difference between the private and professional persona is well known to many people I’m sure. I remember way back when it was even thought in business school that this was normal. But if we live from love and from our bodies all of life becomes one, one and the same quality in all that we do.
Nowhere do you read or hear of transformations like this occurring and if you do they are not sustainable, or the upkeep involves a lot of willpower. I know from the stories that I have heard within the student body of Universal Medicine that there are many who have experienced similar improvements to their health, weight loss and relationships.
WOW! like a lot has changed for you and this (well your whole blog speaks volumes) but this really says something about the Sacred Esoteric Healing and Esoteric Healing modalities ‘As I lay on the couch, memories of past traumas, of which there have been many, began evaporating out of my body. Ten years of kinesiology had never done that.’
Wrote this 6 years ago. Reading it again I realise that everything shared is still incredibly valid and the depth of love in my body and throughout all aspects of my life continues to deepen. Meeting Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon has proven to be the most all encompassing, powerfully transmutational experience of my life and one that keeps joyfully expanding.
I can so relate to what you write here, Rowena. There is a before and after Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon and the after list of benefits is so long that I feel humble and grateful to the bone every time I allow myself to be aware of it.
Rowena it would be great to have a follow up blog.
I remember on a healing course (not Universal Medicine) many years ago we were requested not to drink alcohol the night before treating clients. The more I learn about healing is that we cant separate our personal life out form our professional one – in whatever capacity. We take the whole of us with us wherever we go – we cant compartmentalise. Its a 24/7 task that involves responsibility. Are we healing or harming?
“Healing is about love first and foremost, not knowledge or formulae, and if we truly want to heal, then we truly need to immerse ourselves in love first!” This is beautiful – and so true. If we don’t love ourselves, how can we love and support others?
I love your sharing of a real treat to feel the body in its aliveness and warmth whereas our traditional treats create the opposite effect in the body.
Really awesome to read Rowena, the transparency and the simplicity of what Serge presents is what makes it so irrefutable. The 360 degree changes 1000 of people have made to their lives the lived evidence.
The energetic integrity that Serge Benhayon introduced made me reconsider many of the things I thought were true and were harmless for myself and others. But every detail matters and every thought and action has an impact on our own body and on others. My body knew instantly I had to let go of a lot of things I was doing and I never doubted it since then.
So beautifully shared Rowena, how amazing and gorgeous the changes to your lives by connecting to your inner heart with the gentle breath, bringing true love and healing to your every day living.
It highlights the simplicity of healing, that it’s not about fancy healing techniques, superfoods, fad diets or intense exercise, it’s simply about reconnecting to the love within and living from that love.
I could clearly feel the last few months how everything in our life is connected and actually one. And it goes 2 ways: stagnations or problems in one area overflow into other parts of my life, but also the solidness in a certain part supported the other areas of my life.
The reality that life is absolutely interconnected is to me irrefutable.
A beautiful transformation with love and true healing and all that comes with this amazing process in our lives with the truest value of loving and connecting to ourselves honestly.Inspirational !
It must be at least 12 years ago now since Rowena and Johnathan first introduced me to Serge Benhayons first book but what stood out for me on that day was how different they were. Something had happened to them which really got my attention as they had moved away from the Kinesiology and were enthusiastic about Esoteric Healing – it was the change in them that made me think there was something in this to look at and so I did, and I found the Truth.
Seeing and feeling the change in another can be just the inspiration we need to find truth ourselves.
I agree Monika, there is much in this world that pretends to be ‘it’ the answer and in the end we see little true change. To see someone not only change but live this consistently thereafter is a great inspiration and offers trust that there truly is another way.
I had a similar experience Julie, someone I knew from the spiritual New Age became a practitioner of Universal Medicine therapies, I could feel this person was living love, they were consistently loving with me in sessions and I felt the consistency of love within this person. It was indisputable. Despite what was being said in the media about Serge Benhayon back then in 2012 the way this person was living communicated all I needed to know.
“I realised that, like it or not, everything that I did privately had been joining in with my professional work.” Realising one cannot compartmentalise one’s life brings simplicity, honesty and truth.
At times it is confronting to our paradigms, ideals and beliefs we hold when we meet Serge Benhayon. As these then apparently become of no value as life in truth seems to be 180º the other way.
I agree Nico, and at this moment it takes a lot to be willing and able to let go of the immense investments we have in admitting it to be of no value and turn into a new direction. But as Rowena’s story shows, it may be challenging but the outcome is oh so worth it.
Indeed Carolien any investment in life has actually no value, it is more to do how free that we are in choosing our next step to take. And to my experience this is most free if I let go of any investment to an outcome that would interfere with the free impulse that otherwise could be followed.
Yes true and I am finding more and more that if I have no pictures things simply come to me and it is often much better or more suiting then what I otherwise would have thought of for myself.
As you say Rowena, being the perfect practitioner is an illusion as there is no end qualification, only a never ending expansion and deepening of the quality of our livingness that in turn is being expressed in being a practitioner of life.
We need no treats from outside ,when we feel well on the inside that is our treat without any side effects unless you would call building self love a side effect.
Rowena this is so cute….”Over six years my blood sugar level has returned to normal and I have lost weight without trying, in fact I feel like I have got a slow puncture. My endometriosis has almost entirely cleared up and my periods are becoming, wait for it, joyful! My slipped disc slipped back and my migraines are now mi-gones.” The process of feeling joy in our bodies is all about the work we do on the inside, its never about our achievements on the outside and it certain is very possible to feel as its just written all over this article,

‘The next profound point was that in every other healing modality, alternative and orthodox, the focus is always on the client and their body.’ Great point Rowena, because we have to ask if we as clients are discerning enough to realise that what every practitioner does in their own time is energetically passed to us, we have to either allow our body space to deal with it, or it stays in the body until it gets cleared, or eventually comes out as some form of illness.
Beautiful to read your transformation and how lovingly you honoured yourself by restoring the natural flow of love and self-care within your own body, a great realisation of the true responsibility you have to yourself and clients.
Rowena I very much love what you say about healing…”I know now that healing comes from me choosing love and permeates everything I do. It does not come from affirmations, tapping points, the latest modality or prescribed formulas.” I know I have been caught up in various healing modalities having the so called latests techniques. Being caught up in the ‘modality is healing’ way of thinking, leaves us constantly searching for more though. That was me. Looking for more that would add to my practice. What was missing was my connection to me and the acknowledgment of how I was choosing to live and the influence this has on my own life.
I was exactly the same Jennifer constantly searching for the next new age course or treatment. Every time thinking I had found it but always going to the next thing and the next, unfulfilled and never enough. This all has changed since I started to do the Gentle Breath Meditation and reading the first book ‘The Way It Is’ and it made so much sense that it completely turned my life around.
Whether it is Western Medicine, alternative medicine, or complementary medicine, there is a pervasive belief that someone else fixes us, instead of it being about the way we live and the quality of energy we are in – love or not love.
It is truly important to really understand the depth of what the Word healing truly means. It is about re-introducing a higher level of vibration into a body that been operating in a ‘lower frequency’, as a result of which is truly disordered inside.
It is now 12 years since we attended that first healing course with Serge Benhayon and the healing still continues and the appreciation of Serge and what he presents deepens with every day.
I do recognise that to Jonathan, the healing is continuous and for ever deepening, layer after layer and in the end, after many lives we too will discard the human vehicle, the human body as that no longer fits to the vibration we originally belong to and are returning to.
Same here, Jonathan, it has been 10 years since I met Serge Benhayon and did the first Healing course and the healing and discarding of what is not love still continues. The love keeps deepening and although Serge can say things again it is never the same as he always offers more.
As well as saying more it is also as my awareness expands and my understanding deepens so my understanding of what Serge presents is more rather than it being more.
Great summary of the life changing changes that Sacred Esoteric Healing offers us – and as you say, no magic formulas, no special potions, no spells; just plain and simple common sense when it comes to lifestyle choices and the wherewithal to be honest and take responsibility for our choices in life.
We can’t be hard on ourselves in building a body of love. As Love is already us, anything other than love cannot bring us to love. And building a body Love comes from this Love deepening naturally rather than enforcing.
This is a brilliant sharing and exposes so much of what healing is not by claiming exactly what healing and quality of energy is. Rowena you blow me away by the changes you have made in such a simple and loving way… it was beautiful to read. I had studied kinesiology and reiki and had not once heard about how I live in all areas of my life are with me always. This should be the very first thing learnt with any form of healing.
The purpose of building a body of love is not for our self or personal life being better but it can have these results, but it is because only through a body of love can love be lived unreservedly in reflection for this pretty sick world of ours to feel the that there is without doubt another way.
Treats can make us dependent on an external source of reward that will have us constantly looking outside of ourselves instead of building the confirmation of our qualities and thus intrinsic value from within.
I really love how you talk about building a body of love. It feels so clear to me that that is not about trying to attain something we do not have, but it is about listening to and adhere to what is natural and innate to us so that that essence, what is true, come to the forefront and not masked or buried by what does not belong.
It’s such a powerful discernment and exposes many therapies, the needs of the practitioner to be ‘the healer’, and for the client to need to have it all done for them. Yes we can be supported but the basis for healing comes from our equality as souls and the free will we have to heal and take responsibility for ourselves or not.
This is really an extraordinary blog, your whole way of viewing the world, viewing healing, and your way of life changed. Kudos for honouring the truth you felt and deconstructing your life and career to honour this – amazing. The quality of love you now live means your clinic is every moment of everyday everywhere, as you are now sharing your love with the whole of humanity – surely the most healing thing we can each experience from another.
Like you got your insight about healing and was ready to be honest about it you knew you had to let go of alot.
And this counts for all people who are ready to be honest about there parts in life where they keep lies.
And the good thing is that when we wake up about certain areas in our life all life gets a new level of awareness.
It’s amazing to consider how many modalities make it all about the client, and for the practitioner it’s look and be professional but beyond that, nothing in how the practitioner lives and is, is considered a part of it. And yet it is, and this in fact applies to all work, all situations … we vainly cling to the idea that we can have our own private idahos’ but this is not true and there is a responsibility for all of us here to consider in all we do, have we chose the energy of love or not?
A very important point Monica, I have been through other modalities before and never was there any talk about our quality and integrity beyond the treatment room. We seem to think we can cut life into compartments and that we can contain the energy we choose within these compartments but energy is not contained by walls, locations or even time. What we choose is what we are.
Your blog is like a case study Rowena – a study of the power of choosing to be love in your life. Awesome, thank you, for choosing to be love is what truly makes a difference in our lives.
It was awesome to read about what Rowena and her husband let go of so they could make room for love and truth.
It’s just that is it not, to let go of all that is not love and truth so that the love and truth we already have inside us can expand back into its natural expression. I sometimes compare it to a stressball, it becomes smaller and deformed when we put pressure on it but when we let go it naturally finds it full shape again.
This article is one of great wisdom, delivered not from what one knows, but directly from a body in which a different way of living was offered.
“Oh my God, why hasn’t someone said this before?” But have we said it to ourselves? If you visit a GP who is overweight and smokes, will you listen to advice that you should lose weight and stop smoking? And with Serge Benhayon it is the truth of the way he lives in every moment that we feel and inspires us to come to this same truth.
Rowena, everyone working in healing should read this, it’s not something that’s given consideration that healing is to live it yourself first and that what you live is always with you, and not left at your clinic door. I love this line ‘Healing is about taking responsibility for the choice of energy behind my behaviour, thoughts and emotions, nurturing my body and living each day with grace, ready and willing to do whatever is required.’ That’s it in a nutshell, and I really appreciate your honesty here, thank you.
I agree Monica, Rowena’s comment should be 101 in any healing manual!
I do know that too, that lovely warm feeling inside from me connecting to love instead of the not love I used to live for a long time. Once I felt this love and registered in my body I will not accept anything less, only looking for ways of healing to allow that connection to that love to deepen and in that I can say that I have made this my way of living.
I love how you have turned around your health and life, what Serge Benhayon presents makes so much sense, and yes more love is needed both for self and the world, ‘we need to be focusing on connecting to love and creating a loving way of life, so that when we step into the clinic room we bring with us all the love we have been living.’
Reconnecting to who we are, love, and living in that connection feels amazing, ‘ Love is who I am and that applies to every one of us in equal measure.’
There is nothing more joyfull than connecting to the love we are inside. Knowing and understanding life from the principals of The way of the livingness is a true joy.
Hi Benkt, and the joy you are talking about is not to compare with happiness, it is more profound and felt in the body as a vibrancy inside while the body is in stillness. When we compare this with happiness that is more external and brings excitement to the body instead I can say I prefer to have joy and let happiness aside.
There is definitely no treat in the world that comes even close to the joy and power of reconnecting to our “body of love” for it is only then we truly know God.
It was so lovely to come back to your beautiful blog today Rowena, such a great reminder of how far I too have come since my first ever workshop with Serge Benhayon 12 years ago. And I too had so many “Oh my God, why hasn’t someone said this before?” moments as Serge began to present that day, and I am still having them as he continues to present the Ageless Wisdom to the world. I have come to realise though that I have always had this wisdom deep within me, I just didn’t have the ‘key’ to open this door. When Serge presented me with this ‘key’ I grabbed it with both hands with the knowing that this is what I had been seeking outside of myself for so very long.
