1. So true Linda, I am one of the thousands of people that have changed their life around by committing to love and actually listening to my body rather than ignore what it has been trying to tell me for years, that I am love, I come from love and anything outside of this fact hurts my body. The more I develop my inner core the more understanding I can bring to other people which means I do not judge myself or them as I was once in similar circumstances.

2. So many of us can relate to what you are sharing with us all Johanna by writing this blog, we have become a race of human-doings, ticking the boxes while screaming inside that something doesn’t feel right and because we can feel the unsettlement within our bodies we try to numb and distract ourselves from this constant discontent we feel. There is a different way to be and the workshops and studies of Universal Medicine offers that different way to be, so that instead of the unsettlement we can find deep contentment within ourselves, this is my experience.

3. “Serge Benhayon is in the business of love, and the reflection of that love is very inspiring”, is an under statement as he does much more that cannot be put into words. I totally agree with you Johanna, he has touched many lives in so many ways, and half the time it isn’t expressed in blogs/articles, but certainly felt.

   All I can say is thank God for Serge Benhayon and his family who live the talk, walk to live and inspire others along the way. The support they have given is immeasurable and I do not know of anyone on this planet that has done this amount of giving.

   They will continue to inspire me till the day I take my last breath.

   1. We lived in a loveless world until Serge Benhayon came along and simply pointed this out and then gave everyone the tools to reengage with ourselves so that we could feel once again our own love and that of God. We have starved ourselves of the true love of God and we have been blessed to be given that reflection once again.

4. Like you Johanna, I feel blessed to be part of a group that to the best of their ability looks after each other. There is still much more to develop in trusting each other and supporting each other to deepen in their self love which then supports us all to grow because we all do deserve to be seen and met for the absolute love that we are. When we are met in such a way it’s as though we have been given a huge moral and confidence boost. All those ‘negative Nancy’ feelings seem to dissolve to be replaced with a sense that anything is achievable.

5. “… to not expect another person to fill my needs as a compensation for the love that I am not even sharing with myself.” Well, that’s a powerful line about our responsibility! This is something I am still working on, seeing my dependency on people and certain pictures, all of which distract away from the grandness of love within. It’s such a big part of the human condition to want to be loved, which is very different to saying “I want to be love” – which does not involve making others responsible for us or giving our power away, instead it’s living the love we are, and allowing others space to come to that within themselves in their own time.

   1. How true Melinda, your words, Yes it is a very powerful regarding responsibility. Where I need to take more responsibility is in the area of the food that I am eating, as some foods are not at all self loving or self nurturing for my body. This is where I am at the moment, and with renewed responsibility I intend to address this is a very positive way.

   2. Responsibility is lacking in this world and its a no wonder this world is where it is now. If everyone did their part, I wonder where we will be by now? It begins by making the choice that everything matters and from there is evolves. Start somewhere, start by saying, Yes.

   3. I can honestly say that I have expected others to fill my need as a compensation for the love I’m not willing to give myself. And when this so called love is not given I have rallied against them how dare they not give me what I want, with no appreciation that they too are just as loveless as me.

6. Well said Gill, and imagine the ripple effects that Johanna also will have in her life and with those who encounter her and spend time with her. The power of true love and care holds no bounds and holds a deep reach around.

7. Natalie is indeed a young woman who has chosen a very different way of being with herself and is paving the way for many many other women. The level of integrity and care and deep respect for self and others is palpable when you spend time in her presence.

8. Self care might seem like such a basic thing but it is the foundation of so much more hence its importance.

9. Johanna I could not agree more with this sentence: “The care, dedication and integrity from Serge and the Universal Medicine practitioners is unending and enormous” – what an absolute blessing to have encountered this in my life too and allowed myself to be inspired.

10. There is so much in what you are presenting Johanna that Serge Benhayon is the most caring and utterly-endlessly patient person anyone has have ever met – his integrity and dedication towards others is at times incomprehensible. The care, dedication and integrity from Serge and the Universal Medicine practitioners is unending and enormous – in workshops, in treatments/sessions, and in general passing or conversation. That no one has never seen or felt it anywhere else in the world, or with any other group of people. is totally true.
    And what shows the true mark of this man is that in spite of everything that has been thrown at him and you would think from the way he is portrayed in the media that he is he is worse than any of despots currently running countries in the world that Serge would say I’m done that’s it no one is listening and of course many are not listening but he has not thrown in the towel and will never throw it into the ring because he breathes, and lives a life of love that is accessible to everyone and everyone has a given right to this love and he is obedient to his last breath to the embodiment of love that we all so deserve but reject at the same time.

    1. That patience to me is a reflection of the humility Serge Benhayon lives with, that he has no investment in or expectation of people, he is just able to be love with others, and allow people to return to their own love in their own way and time. That patience takes so much pressure off and allows space. I can feel when people place me into time, that is, an expectation of where I should be in the present or future, it feels very imposing and comes with an energy that says that person knows more about me and my life than they truly can. It feels very pushing and with an arrogance, even if it’s subtle. Patience is a beautiful and deeply humble virtue by contrast, love still offers you the truth but there is no timing placed on the person, just space to come to it in your own time.

       1. Melinda I so appreciate what you have shared here with us all, your expression has allowed me to feel those times when I have imposed myself on others, thinking I know better than they did about how they should go about life. I can feel the arrogance of the imposition and how crushing for the other person.

11. Our world does need the impeccable level of integrity and care that Serge Benhayon lives, and brings, ‘Serge is the most caring and utterly-endlessly patient person I have ever met – his integrity and dedication towards others is at times incomprehensible. The care, dedication and integrity from Serge and the Universal Medicine practitioners is unending and enormous – in workshops, in treatments/sessions, and in general passing or conversation. I have never seen or felt it anywhere else in the world, or with any other group of people.’

12. Beautiful blog. I found myself relating to so much of it in terms of how my own life has changed in the last 8 years. “more I simplify it, the grander it feels”

13. For me you have encapsulated the presentations of Serge Benhayon. They are presentations and everyone is left to make up their own minds, to walk away or stay to hear more.
    Those that have been interested enough to stay have discovered that the teachings are extremely helpful in supporting people to develop a relationship firstly with themselves and then all others and from my personal experience this happens naturally as we allow ourselves to deepen into the love that resides within us all without exception.

14. Those people that chose to attend the presentations of Serge Benhayon find that there is more to life than what we see with our eyes and hear with our ears. The missing ingredient is love not emotional love but a deep well of natural love that lies within all of us. When we come back to this connect of natural love then we realise that for many of us we have been living in a way that we expect others to give us the love we refused to give to ourselves and actually no one can do this hence the disharmony we live with. When we connect back to the love that is within each and every one of us there is a deep contentment within and a desire to share with everyone else and that is true brotherhood.

    1. This is so true Mary, many people expect other people to give them love, and yet they are not prepared to give love, and be love with themselves. Connecting back to and deepening this love for self is an important first step in all relationships.

15. What I am finding is that loving and caring for myself takes care of everything else. I don’t have to try loving or caring for others, it simply becomes part of me loving and caring for myself.

    1. Love and care of ourselves is like an extension through to all others – this is beautiful what you have shared Fumiyo and supports us all to look after ourselves knowing that in the process we care for others equally so.

    2. Fumiyo I have found this to be true for my myself too, the more loving and caring I am towards myself the abundance this produces within me then gets shared with everyone else, so everyone gains. This is such a different way to live, as growing up in a Roman Catholic family for the females especially the emphasis was always on what you could do for others first, with no consideration for yourself. If you did want to care for yourself it was taken as an act of selfishness which was not to be encouraged or tolerated.

16. One person can change so much for all of us especially when they are in business of love as Serge Benhayon very surely is.

17. We live in a world of lowering standards; there is a lack of care towards ourselves and other people. So to find a group of people who are prepared to love and look after themselves, to live with integrity and to live in a non-abuse way in my opinion is pure gold. It is a way of living that goes against the tide of the current way of living; that’s okay by me because I know that our current way of living is definitely not working it is a very abusive way to live and I do not want to be a part of this way of life any more. It is so insular and limited in its outlook.

18. What is not said anywhere (except at UniMed) is what chases us everywhere.

19. This will all be seen one day as a modern miracle of Medicine and will be universally accepted because energy is everything and we do need to heal on an energetic level, which all starts as Johanna has shared, through being at-least gentle first on the way to being self loving. Also many thanks to Serge Benhayon as he deeply reflects a Humble-Appreciative-ness as part of our deepening Love and that is also now being reflected by the Students of The Living-ness!

20. There are always other ways to deal with things, and what I am learning is when I bring more love to a situation or a person, its amazing how different everything feels for both myself and the other person, as you just know exactly what to say or do that truly serves the other.

21. Yes, I wonder what it would look like if we all committed in the same way, what would the rates of illness and disease look like, would we even have war and conflict?

22. Its just bonkers that what is presented by Serge and Universal Medicine is not talked about more. Here is an organisation that is willing to take a good look at how humanity is doing, and expose that for all our advances, the way we live is actually of a poorer quality than it was eons ago! So much for our advancement!

23. I have witnessed the same struggles in men around me in my life and I have also struggled to make sense of things and deal with all the pressures and stresses that is the reality of life. Learning to love more, both myself and others has been the key for me to undo this. If I apply the love litmus test to anything I immediately know what needs to shift or change.

24. “I have not had a grand-mal or petit-mal seizure or vacant moments for five years… and the most amazing part is that after consulting with my doctor three and a half years ago, I began to slowly wean off the medication I was taking”. To experience a medical turn around like this is remarkable and testimony to your dedication to heal yourself. This was not something you set our to achieve, but a product of your Livingness.

    1. It shows how amazing the body is to heal itself when we work with it, and how much illness and how many medical conditions happen because of our daily lifestyle choices. When everyone though lives a certain way and is unwell it can look like this is normal, we need people like Johanna to inspire humanity into deeper self care and show what is possible. Even if the body can’t physically heal there is the joy of living connected to our love everyday, and feeling the essence of who we are within.

    2. What you have shared with the world Kehinde2012 is what would be termed a miracle, and to find this miracle here on this web site is actually common place because what is presented by Universal Medicine has all the possibilities of having miracles everyday because the way of living produces the alchemy which allows the union with God to have that reunion with God is the missing link in our evolution back to him. So thank you for sharing and reminding us all of the blessings of God as he showers us with miracles everyday.

25. “For me, women have always been the stronger/foundational gender, the ones who hold everything together” I’ve seen the cost of women holding everything together, they fall apart. This not the answer. The way is for women to first hold themselves together with loving tender care and from this foundation support others to hold themselves equally.

26. What a great question … if we all committed to live the love we are 100% how would the world be … a very different place and definitely a more loving one.

27. I totally get what you are saying here that it is not about any one person but the inspiration of how they live that makes the difference. I have witnessed that Serge Benhayon lives with an enormous commitment to living love and it is this inspiration that reminds others that they are love and can simply live it more too.

    1. Thanks Andrew for your comment, it’s reminded me of how much Serge Benhayon constantly inspires me and shows me there is more, even as I deepen into greater amounts of love his life then shows me how much more there is. To me that has to be the true definition of friend and brother.

       1. Melinda I felt the same recently with a member of the Benhayon family, they constantly inspire me and as you say they show that there is so much more and the more to me has no words it is just the movement and what can be sensed being moved (Energy) is a science in itself. But the greatest gift is to know that we all have this ability, and yet we want to hold onto the physicality of life but there’s so much more to be experienced in the energetics of life which we are all missing out on because of our insistence that life is only physical.

28. Considering just how sick we are as a race of beings the changes you have made in your life Johanna, whilst seemingly minor are massive on the scale of the quality of your life and the enjoyment you have in it.

29. As parents we can place our expectations on our children to fill the emptiness within which I can sense sometimes within myself and around me but for every moment I clock it within me it is worth gold because I know it is an opportunity to go deeper with the love lived for self.

    1. Thank you Caroline Francis, for sharing that this willingness to go deeper is a responsibility we all have for our younger generations to model another way as the current world examples are few and far between.

    2. I have noticed with children that they can sense when we want something from them and can use that sense to manipulate the situation, the reverse of this is when we don’t need anything from them. Then they are so open and transparent because there is no pressure on them to be anything than who they are which is so beautiful to feel and be with.

30. We tend to be extremely generous in sharing ill-being with others. Yet, this is not usually the case with well-being. Serge Benhayon is a great exception to the rule. Because of that and of the quality of the teachings he presents us with, he should be totally appreciated.

31. To have such changes in ones medical condition is too simple to fathom, that such a change can come about through responsibility and self care is the key to many illness we face today. Do we want to use the key in our own lives?

    1. Yes it is really extraordinary and something to be considered as part and parcel of a medical plan. We have to take the pressure of the medical system and step into some personal self-care routines to support our bodies.

32. It is massive to feel the difference in life when the choice to self-love, self-care is made. It changes you, there comes a tenderness in how you live and therefore how you interact with others. No matter how much I thought I was living this way, never did I feel the truth of it until I choose self-love.

33. Having been given the reflection of love by Serge Benhayon and responding by endeavouring to live it, my life has changed so much that I now living in a different world than I was before.

34. Truly incredible Johanna. Simple choices made with love have the power to completely transform life.

35. To hear and know what one man can do with his commitment and love for humanity is amazing and as you ask Johanna, what would happen if all of us committed in this way? And the question itself is revealing for it says we are so much more than we allow.

36. ” Serge Benhayon is in the business of love, and the reflection of that love is very inspiring.” we are here to serve in the business of love, and what more grander purpose can there be. That love was reflected to us by one man’s living way of deep love, integrity and commitment to reflect to all humanity, that we are all love at our very core of being.

37. The simplicity of choosing love with all our expressions in every moment almost seems too easy. Instead, we tend to complicate things as a society and try to manipulate our surroundings through a neediness to fit some picture of what love is. But I have begun to accept this way of living where I simply ask myself “Is this the loving choice?” with everything I do, say, and think, and it really makes a huge difference in all my relationships and simplifies life.

    1. Yes, consistently asking oneself the question, “Is this the loving choice?” is a practical and lovingly supportive way to make love a way of life.

38. Being in the business of love, we work for God.

39. An inspiring sharing that all can take from and integrate into life.

40. Yes, agree Johanna that commitment to life doesn’t mean doing more necessarily, but about committing to love: to loving ourselves deeply, and all others, and bringing that loving quality into everything that we do.

41. Self acceptance is the embodiment of all the qualities that are naturally, innately within and part of us, but yet don’t always see in ourselves. By developing our relationships with others, we get to appreciate their qualities and understand more of our own, through reflection both ways.

42. One very connected man living the truth of who he is and inspiring as he does, beautifully said Johanna, and your sharing on how you’ve turned around your life is deeply inspiring.

43. A very beautiful and inspirational sharing Johanna. What indeed would happen if everyone of us followed the lead of Serge Benhayon and “committed to the rest of Humanity?”

44. When we choose for love and nothing but love, our lives will be never the same anymore bur forever evolving and in that we will get a greater understanding of what not living love has brought to human life on a worldly scale.

45. Exposing and accepting the truth of any matter definitely opens us up to the potential of both change and healing.

46. A flower blossoms with the warm rays of the sun in the same way a child blossoms with the warm rays of love.

47. “Conventional medicine, along with the changes I have made in my life, has been a great support to me in my healing process”. Yes I found this too. When I became ill several years ago, that was the catalyst for making many different lifestyle changes that actually supported me during my illness and afterwards in how I was going to live differently.
    First change I made was to my diet, I just knew I had to give up sugar and I did. That was a biggie, it took time, but I persisted and am now sugar-free. I have more energy and feel more vital and my body shaped changed. I feel lighter and slimmer, but my intention was never to lose weight, that was a by-product of choosing to truly nourish and nurture my body.

48. Great question – What would happen if everyone of us was in the livingness of reflecting true love and harmony to humanity equally as Serge Benhayon lives? This would be the ceasing of all atrocities, greed, corruption, wars and the rest of the ill behaviours that are used when our connection to our own selves is denied.

49. What would happen if every single one of us was as committed to the rest of humanity? Great question, inviting us all to step up and take more responsibility in sharing with others all that we have been blessed with – the transformation of our lives – thanks to meeting Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.

50. Once we begin to truly care deeply and love ourselves or connect to the love that we naturally are in essence then life can never be the same again for in my experience it changes how I am with everything and everyone and this is a change or wisdom that comes from within me, of my own making, it is not something you can be told to do from outside or from anyone else.

51. This is a great line, “to not expect another person to fill my needs as a compensation for the love that I am not even sharing with myself.” It’s transformational for relationships when we can understand we are in essence love, and all the love we could ever want is inside ourselves, and to release others from our demands.

    1. We start with ourselves, and love then naturally flows from there out to everything and everyone else.

52. “I am from an amazing love – and when that love is allowed to be there and is developed in the body, it is automatically expressed and filtered into every aspect of life. How can it not be so?” – so simple, and it is actually very practical. It only gets complicated when we toss this around as a mental concept.

53. The commitment of Serge Benhayon to us is a great reflection for us to feel, how it could be were we to commit to the same extent to our communities. And Natalie Benhayon is an inspiration to all women , we are very blessed to have these examples in our lives.

    1. We are blessed indeed Gill in so many ways, and so we can be that reflection and inspiration for all those we come into contact with, and not only families and friends, but everyone.

54. ‘the business of love’…I like that Johanna. Perhaps love should be everyone’s business.

55. I have certainly been inspired by Natalie Benhayon. I love that she has chosen to give so much and so willingly to humanity. That she is not indulgent or needy but always taking care of herself so she can be of service to others. “She is also the reflection of how a child can grow up to choose for herself when raised with an enormous amount of love, as she was shown by her parents.” Team effort!

56. How amazing that one man can through love, change the world! With every person who finds that love within themselves and then through the ripple effect of this love many others too, we are changing the way humanity sees itself and others. Thank you Johanna.

57. Simplicity, grandness and commitment to the all speaks loud and clear in what you share Johanna, and indeed as you ask what if all of us were committed to being this with everyone? Now that would change the world.

58. The seesaw of ups and downs, of elation and the doldrums is never-ending when we don’t connect to ourselves first.

59. Self-acceptance is a path that opens the heart to understanding the soul that we are within the body.

60. I don’t know what Serge Benhayon’s middle name is, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was ‘Patience’..! That man can repeat revelations that he has said for years and never will he tire of presenting the truth and showing humanity a more loving and natural way of living that is honouring of who we are as energetic beings first. His dedication to humanity is second to none.

61. Hear, hear Johanna, . . . ” Serge Benhayon is in the business of love, and the reflection of that love is very inspiring.” . . . very inspiring indeed. I never quite understood what love was and this became even more evident when I met someone like Serge who did know as what I thought was love turned out to be sympathy, neediness, comfort and indulgence and something that had to give and receive from another when all the time I am love when I am connected I can simply be love.

62. What the world needs now is true genuine love and Universal Medicine is bringing it in bucket-loads.

63. All along what we are really seeking is love and simplicity in life, even though in some instances it may look as though we are searching for anything other – dramas keep repeating, we lack clarity and just can’t seem to be consistent but we are all looking for love and to be held (in eternal love) in one way or another.

    1. Very well said Doug

64. I reckon every relationship issue I have ever had can be broken down to me expecting someone else to bring me the love I will not bring to myself. Learning to live the love we naturally are has got to be one of the greatest things one can do in a lifetime.

65. The business of love indeed that is the business Serge Benhayon is in, and your final question is so pertinent Johanna, what would happen if we all put ourselves out in the world in our respective spheres to reflect and live the love we are … now that would change a thing or two. Now you have me asking how I live the love I am?

66. The choice to choose awareness and love is a beautiful medicine to bring into your life every day. If we all did this consistently the health systems of the world would no longer be teetering on the brink of collapse.

67. When we hear a true truth and our being accepts it as so, expansion is felt and alchemy is made.

68. When truth is presented and lived and I feel it to my bones it is very hard to un-know. It takes a lot more force to ignore what has resonated deep with-in and the very clear realisation that comes is that I don’t want to either. No matter what has come before once the truth is felt what doesn’t match can be released. This can take a little undoing but it is the intention not the time that is true.

69. To accept the love that is within us all is the start of what is possible. The work of Serge Benhayon always leads us back to the simplicity and in this case shows that the body can heal through choosing to build a body of love

70. Huge revelations here Johanna. You shatter the myth that ‘having it all’ is the way to true joy. We do not need to obtain anything outside of ourselves to truly have it all. If we simply connect to the love that we are and have been all along we will see that we have always had it all. I am forever grateful to Serge Benhayon for opening my eyes to this fact.

71. As mentioned Johanna – ‘Simple and true words that then offer a choice’. The world we live in is heavily laden with untruths and we become quite numbed by the pounding we receive but the moment something is shared with us, coming from love and integrity as Serge always does the truth can be felt instantly in the body and we know the choice to make.

72. The love we are and carry within us is huge and through your openness and wisdom you have committed to choices that mean everyone gets to share in this. Your healing and commitment to the choices you have made is inspirational Johanna and a gorgeous reflection for others.

73. I agree how humanity are living is clearly not working, ‘Let’s face it, the way humanity is thinking and acting is clearly not working.’ Why carry on repeating the same when it clearly does not work? What Serge Benhayon presents makes so much sense, with many students of his work having turned their lives around in many gorgeous ways.

74. I would say, in my experience that the level of care and love offered by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine is unprecedented in our present day, ‘Serge is the most caring and utterly-endlessly patient person I have ever met – his integrity and dedication towards others is at times incomprehensible. The care, dedication and integrity from Serge and the Universal Medicine practitioners is unending and enormous – in workshops, in treatments/sessions, and in general passing or conversation.’ The experience of all of this is almost too much to express, it is beyond words.

75. Love is who we are and our natural way. You ask “What would happen if every single one of us was was committed to the rest of humanity?” It is so inspiring and such a deep sense of coming home to meet and observe a truly loving person (Serge Benhayon) who lives this way, it makes it feel even more crazy, sad and absurd that we are not all choosing that way yet.

76. What you’ve shared here Johanna is so true, the world is in desperate need of what Serge Benhayon teaches and presents, as is evidenced by the true and lasting changes you’ve been able to make as a result. I can echo the same, and know hundreds just like me. When you come across true truth, the body responds accordingly. Solutions to our problems are not the key, getting the heart of the matter and making life about true love, definitely is.

77. Serge Benhayon is without doubt the reflection of absolute love, a love that very few if any have grown up with. All the changes and the amazing life I have now, is through understanding love in it’s truest form and then seeing how much of my life was not lived this way. Serge Benhayon’s love for humanity is absolute and it is his reflection that has brought true love back here on Earth again.

78. This is an incredible story of true healing Johanna. I am particularly interested in the way you stopped rushing. This is something I am always working on. I am learning that it is the simplest things that can create the biggest change in my life.

79. For every student of The Way of The Livingness, there is a process of practical application of what start out as self-loving principles which by design assist us to create a body that is capable of connecting to the essence of true love. By way of example, it is obviously self-loving to eat food that honours your body. That in itself however does not ignite true love, but what it does do is assist to create a body that is clear and in itself then capable of igniting the divine energy fire in the body. In order to do that however, still takes a choice, and a particular quality and consistency of movement. One however can live to the core all the principles of self-love and never actually live true love. Thus why you can have the cleanest diet in the world, sleep well, take care of yourself immaculately, be intimate and clear of emotional turmoil and actually still not be in the activity of the true love of your Soul. Having said that, without those things, neither will true love be possible either, and so self-love is critical to allowing us to unfold back to the true love that lies innately within.

80. ‘and when that love is allowed to be there and is developed in the body, it is automatically expressed and filtered into every aspect of life.’ It is developing love in the body that makes all the difference. This is a beautiful journey and Sacred Esoteric Yoga is a modality that allows us to feel this embodiment and supports its development in a very simple way, it let’s us see how we can support ourselves in the way that we move and care for ourselves.

81. Developing self-awareness by being more honest with what I can feel is where making changes has started for me. If I’m not prepared to see what’s really going on in my own body, then I can’t make any changes because I’m totally unaware of what those changes need to be that will support me.

82. Teaching and presenting the fact that love has no emotion and is an energy is a paradigm shift of understanding to that of emotional love, which is the generally accepted version.

83. Thank you Johanna for expressing so well the loving influence that Serge Benhayon’s living example has on so, so many people. I can relate so much to what you have shared and it could be my story.
    “All of this has not been because of individual teachings per se, but from just one – love. Serge has helped me know, to the deepest part of my being, that I am from an amazing love – and when that love is allowed to be there and is developed in the body, it is automatically expressed and filtered into every aspect of life.”
    The teaching of love is without a doubt the cornerstone of all he presents.

84. Without a doubt Serge Benhayon is the truest example possible of love and it is an example we can all be.

85. I agree Serge Benhayon has really redefined what self-love is, not in a theoretical way, but in a real lived way through example and because he has such a strong foundation in self-love himself, he is able to love others deeply and when I have felt that love from him, it has been very healing for I remembered that I am worth that love and can also love myself and others in the same way.

86. The power of simplicity.. when we cut out the drama, the pictures, the complication and the spin, life starts to feel very different – there is space to feel and start to deal with things that we may have been avoiding for a long time – and to feel who we truly are, underneath all the noise.

87. Serge Benhayon is without doubt the most loving human being I have ever been blessed to meet. Meeting Serge has totally transformed my life in the most wonderful way.

    1. and continues to do so

88. An amazing blog and sharing Johanna absolutely beautiful and all about true love and the living of it. Serge Benhayon is the most beautiful gift to humanity and his dedication to us is immense powerful and inspirational. You have shared so much about the changes you have made in your life and the way you live now that is very relatable to and a reflection of the love Serge Benhayon offers us all to be just that also .

89. So much is shared here,
    The changing of our lives and the decision to become more responsible very much simplifies our lives and makes them more enjoyable. What is mabe not truly appreciated is the knock on affect this has with our world at large. Every person we meet, talk to, pass in the street or sit in a cinema with all get to feel us, our beauty, grace and steady love. This is enormous as it brings to the world a true living example of the very real fact that love can be lived.

90. Thank you Johanna – it was beautiful to read what you have shared and I completely agree with what you have written about Serge Benhayon. Through Serge I have had the opportunity to experience what true love is and it is nothing like the emotional so called love that I had previously encountered. True love is unfathomably powerful and transformational and gorgeous beyond words. It can also feel very uncomfortable at times as it exposes all that is not love and there is plenty of that around.

91. “That is what UniMed is truly inspiring in the student body: the true integrity, love and care for others (because all people deserve it). The continually growing student body is a reflection of a rippling-on effect.” Love is responsibility and a greater step than the reinterpretation of the power of good that has not changed anything. There is identification in good of wanting or needing something back. Love provides what is needed not needing .. “and to not expect another person to fill my needs as a compensation for the love that I am not even sharing with myself.”

92. ‘Love has no barriers and does not discriminate.’ Here here Johanna. Equal-ness, holding everyone as an equal in the love and care you feel is our way forward to understanding and feeling the truth of love once more.

93. Allowing plenty of time especially first thIng in the mornings to spend time with your family (if you live with them) is very beautiful and it inspires me to look at and make changes to the choices I am making in the mornings. I go to bed early and get up early but some mornings I can complicate things and indulge taking longer to get ready than what is required. I then end up not spending the time I would like with my family.

94. I don’t know how many more of these stories I can read and not be bemused as to why this hasn’t gone much much bigger. When I read things like this it almost seems normal the way it’s written until you look at how we are all living. Then you can clearly see this is something very very special that would support everyone, every time, everywhere and so how can it still be so quiet? I don’t think there is a one off answer to that but needless to say we need these type of things out there more. People living like this in everyday life, so others can see that they need not withdraw and walk away from all of this.

95. “-but on the inside I was hurting without really knowing how to express it.”
    Could what is shared here be the antidote to living hiding our true inner feelings?

96. It is true Johanna, once one knows what LOVE actually is, and lives from it, everything changes… it is impossible for it not to. It IS love that ‘makes the word go round’, what is missed in this saying is that TRUE LOVE makes the world go round… HARMONIOUSLY!

97. Hear hear, Johanna. I hadn’t thought about it like that – but so true, Natalie Benhayon (and all other Benhayon kids) is a living proof of what it could look like to be brought up with enormous amount of love. And I agree – when we apply love as a principle to live our day, it is a whole package, and it touches everyone around us.

98. It’s awesome yet actually only common sense that if we truly look after our body our body can truly look after us.

99. Thank you Johanna, very inspiring blog and the very last questions stood out for me as it made me realise that we could all choose to be love and commit to sharing this with humanity no matter where we come from or where we have been. We all have the potential to change the world by simply making loving choices and committing to life.

100. Serge Benhayon is the most loving person walking on this planet you can come across. His love does not come with any investment though. He will leave you alone, will never dictate and never ever interfere with your free will. Those who do not know him personally are missing out big time.

101. “Our world drastically needs this integrity and care, the reflection of it, and the knowing that it can be done – and that it must start with self.”
     That is so true! What Universal Medicine offers is very needed in the world and the Benhayon family are exceptional role models for how we can be with each other as a human race and what is possible if we learn to live together in harmony.

102. Waking up early in the morning can literally feel like you add extra hours to your day. It also seems to flow so much better most likely because you feel so much more clearer and prepared.

103. It’s a great question Johanna for if one man has been the guiding light inspiring so many to make choices that have transformed their health and their lives in general, then what is possible if each one of us reflected our love and light like he does, is just beautiful to imagine.

     1. I agree Samantha, I too was very inspired by what Johanna shared. Serge Benhayon shows us that love is accessible by us all and he is a role model of how we can live expressing love and truth consistently, which naturally reflect and inspire people wherever we are, be it at work, at home or out in our community when we fully embrace love.

104. The way humanity is living is not working – so true Johanna. And neither was I, because I was so bound up in my hurts, despite many years of trying to sort them with various alternative and spiritual practices. However when I was introduced to Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon, I began to turn my life around. So much healing and miracles have occurred since then. Introducing self acceptance, appreciation and love into my life has transformed it.

105. Letting go of the thinking that we need to hold everything in perfection is very freeing indeed.

106. Knowing I am deserving of love, from and for myself, has changed everything, thanks to Universal Medicine.

107. “One man has done all this. What would happen if every single one of us was as committed to the rest of humanity?” What a great question, and because of the inspiring reflection that Serge Benhayon has been offering over the years, so many have reconnected to the love within themselves are now choosing to live that. The ripple effect from one choosing to live in truth blesses us all.

108. “Serge Benhayon is in the business of love, and the reflection of that love is very inspiring.” I love this, to be in the business of love, and I concur with you a hundred percent. Serge Benhayon is absolutely in the business of love and it is a great question to ponder on how the world would turn out “if every single one of us was as committed to the rest of humanity?”

     1. Just reading that question again – what would happen if we were all as committed as Serge Benhayon to humanity?’ inspires me to commit more to life, and to purpose – getting on with it, with standing steady in the simple knowing of who I am and reflecting that to others.

109. ‘Serge is the most … utterly-endlessly patient person I have ever met’ – this made me smile when I considered just how many times I have asked him the same or similar question over the years. He does not judge, or brush it off but patiently explains it again usually in a new way that brings yet more light to the subject at hand.

110. I love your sharing Johanna.
     Like you my life has changed, I love the openess and understanding I live with and expand on every day. I especially love the many ways my body has and continues heal. The medicine of love and tenderness is there for all to choose, and it cost not one cent.

111. “So one man, one very connected man, has decided with all of his being to put himself out there to share and reflect our amazingness. Serge Benhayon is in the business of love, and the reflection of that love is very inspiring.” So true, beautifully said Johanna Serge is in the business of love, everything about what he does is to show us that love is the way forward and anything less than this is a step back.This is a forever learning as I find what is love and what is not. We have been sold so many versions of what love should be yet they do not come close to what we know to be true and which is felt strongly from the body. If we let our head run the show then we get all the emotional and needy versions that are not love at all.

112. ‘when I see or hear a true truth that I can feel to my bones, it opens me up for change – a change that I can then choose to work with’. It is so important to not hold truth back and to express what is there to express, as this is how we serve others as Serge serves all he comes into contact with by not holding back truth, in other words, not holding back love and the grandness we all come from.

113. I am one of those people who have also changed my life and benefited by the presentations of Serge and Universal Medicine. I love how simple my life has become as I have let go of so many distractions, struggles and complications and as such I can feel so much more of me. Every day I am learning, observing and reflecting and adjusting to be more present in my body and to allow more love to flow through me. Thank you Johanna for all the learnings you have shared with us for in order to change we first must be open to learning.

114. Thank you Johanna for a truly inspirational sharing. You share that “Love” is the key to a whole of life change”. I couldn’t agree with you more! Serge Benhayon is the inspiration behind the many changes that I and many others have made to our lives through his presentations and his example of being in the livingness of these teachings.

115. “Serge has helped me know, to the deepest part of my being, that I am from an amazing love – and when that love is allowed to be there and is developed in the body, it is automatically expressed and filtered into every aspect of life. How can it not be so? Love has no barriers and does not discriminate.” This is so beautifully described and I have to say I absolutely agree. My life has changed considerably from the incredibly practical teachings shared by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. There is so much more connection,awareness, fulfilment and joy.

116. I agree Johanna that what Serge Benhayon offers through Universal Medicine and the teachings of the Ancient Wisdom is simple truth. When it resonates and we then apply it into our own lives, everything changes. That is probably one of the most outstanding markers for me that shows whether I have founded those new choices on truth or not. If not, I will find myself back where I began (in relation to whatever I am looking to change). When the basis of a different choice is true, the result is different and sustainable.

     1. This is key. We must make it our own truth, our own lives truth otherwise it’s just words and knowledge. And thing is – taking one part of Serges Livingness and applying it your life to feel it for your self will be amazing in itself. That’s how powerful listening to our bodies is.

        1. A great distinction Johanna between telling or sharing with others based on knowledge that comes from ‘theory’ and sharing something known because we’ve lived and experienced it for ourselves. Understanding the end result for the person we are sharing with is key… the former is empty of the necessary ‘inspiring’ factor, a sense of ‘you have done it so therefore I can too’. We don’t have a clear understanding of how this works in psychology yet, but when we do, walking one’s talk will take on a whole new significance.

117. That you no longer experience grand or petit mal seizures is absolutely amazing and goes contra to the received medical knowledge of the day! The rest is also amazing but this part deserves a blog on its own.

     1. Yes true – perhaps a small book. But the thing is it was the self care and gentleness that supported the seizures to stop as I was no longer absorbing others emotions, over indulging in things that were not supportive for my body, had learnt to let go of held tension not bury it, I slept early and woke early – so my body no longer had to shake out the rubbish I was loading it with so to speak. So if someone is not willing to make changes that support them then the old patterns will always dictate the current symptoms. It is quite huge because after I reached 18 and still had grand mal seizures, doctors could no longer say they were adolecent seizures. And along with the grand mals I often had moments in my day of vacancy – eg. Starting sentences and not finishing them. But now nothing and no medication. Building presence, observing life not absorbing and being utterly gentle with myself we’re the greatest supports I offered myself and still do. It is well worth listening to our bodies. And always deep thanks to Serge and all the healing modalities he has brought through.

118. What I feel with Serge Benhayon is that I have a relationship with him and it was so from the start. He brings such love it is easy to trust him and this has not changed in the ten or so years l have known him. The amazing and astounding thing is that he does this with everyone. Imagine if I was to be this open and loving with everyone? This is the change the world needs because we can be love with everyone. We can be all that we are – open hearted.

     1. Totally agree. Just standing next to him initially, I knew I could trust him with every fibre of my being. If that isn’t proof of energy – I don’t know what is.

     2. You are so spot on Amanda. I am in absolute awe of Serge’s ability to truly meet each and every person he interacts with and it is worth considering the fact that he is showing me that I could choose to be this way too.

119. “One man has done all this. What would happen if every single one of us was as committed to the rest of humanity?” Yes the choices we make every moment of our day can have such a huge impact on everyone around us – either it being unloving or loving. Being aware of this is key.

     1. Serge Benhayon goes completely against the idea that one man can’t change anything. Through him changing his life to live all the love he is, many have been inspired to do the same. Now when those many get together to work in harmony, what they can produce is greater than the sum total of what they could all produce individually. A super charge of purpose!

        1. Yes great point there is this belief of ‘What can I do alone?’, but that is as shown by Serge Benhayon we can do a lot by simply living the truth and love we are. As well as the fact that most of the time extreme choices are brought in to action by nobody speaking up when a few make these unloving choices.

120. The results of living with self care and love are incredible and it is so simple. Absolutely great to consider how we all could easily live this way.

121. Johanna, what amazing changes you’ve made, and how you describe it all is very helpful to read – that life can be simple if we choose it and that we can when shown another way live with greater love and care than ever and those simple things change everything. And your line ‘Serge Benhayon is in the business of love, and the reflection of that love is very inspiring’ sums up Serge perfectly and to imagine how the world would be if we all lived this way, it would change absolutely everything.

     1. Yes he is totally, without any self gain in the business of love. His whole life ooozes it and many thousands would attest to that i am sure.

122. This is an awesome blog. I found myself nodding and recognising so much in your life Johanna. Love has no barriers and does not discriminate. This is beautiful and reminds all of us that these amazing changes are possible for all of us when we listen to our bodies and our inner heart that are ultimately very sensible and loving.

     1. Yes I love this too ‘Love has no barriers and does not discriminate.’ if we just lived every aspect of our lives from this one line then an enormous amount of care and love would be lived.

123. When you make your life about love, your whole life can’t help but change – it’s the most amazing change you could ever imagine. I agree if one man can inspire so many people – what if we all made this commitment – what then is possible?

     1. The power of true love is incredible and compared to how we live life on earth it would appear to be magical when in fact it is all very natural and miraculous. Today, four years after writing this blog, in the incredibly loving relationship with my husband and my daughter I am feeling and blessed everyday by the commitment to love we have with ourselves and each other. Something I did not know was possible. We still have tense moments but how we deal with them is from pure love knowing we love each other first and it’s never about right or wrong of a situation. More often than not the tense situations are a blessing offering us an area to go deeper with our love in together – and then ultimately in all other relationships.

        1. Thank you for your beautiful comment. I agree, difficult and tense situations are an opportunity for us to deepen our love and to go somewhere we’ve never been before. Love is absolutely amazing.

124. Thanks for highlighting the power of love, truth and responsibility, qualities that certainly change lives for the better

125. So true Johanna once we feel truth all the cells in our body rejoice and open to it. After that it is up to us whether we act on that truth or override it so as to stay in the comfort of the known.

126. A joy to read your gorgeous blog, thankyou. You have made many points I can completely relate to and also learn from. This line was a stand out for me – “but on the inside I was hurting without really knowing how to express it.” I feel pretty much all of humanity could relate to this. One of the things I truly appreciate from Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon is the understanding I now have of how I feel. The Gentle Breath Meditation and the UM healing modalities have supported me in making a deep connection to myself, which has put me back in touch with myself. The understanding I now have of myself and the confidence I have to truly address how I’m feeling has meant I’ve pretty much become my own best friend and supporter. Beautiful to reflect on this and appreciate the huge changes that UM have contributed to in my overall wellbeing. It is so much better than walking around feeling mixed up all the time.

127. Johanna, wow your blog is deeply touching. Simply astounding the changes you have made and so inspiring to hear. Serge Benhayon certainly is in the business of love. Real un relentless Love.

128. Thank you for sharing this Johanna. The take home reminder for me today is that there is always another way and that we have a choice in every situation to being open to that other way.

129. ‘Serge is the most caring and utterly-endlessly patient person I have ever met – his integrity and dedication towards others is at times incomprehensible’. Johanna I can’t go past this sentence as I am awe of his patience. The more I know him and the more I understand, the greater my appreciation of these qualities that have infinite depth, beyond what I can fully comprehend.

130. It is always a joy and an inspiration Johanna to re-read how you have brought about many changes in your life that, not only support you but, has an effect that touches on all your other relationships.This again highlights that it only takes ‘one’ to offer there is another way to bring about changes which then has a ‘ripple’ effect with others so they too receive an inspirational spark – (here we go again) for another sequence of ‘inspirational choices’ being offered. Awesome.

131. To feel and hear truth when presented it resonates through my whole being and, what you have shared with us all Johanna has done just that. These words really stood out for me as one of the many high expectations I had of others in my life. “to not expect another person to fill my needs as a compensation for the love that I am not even sharing with myself” To recognise that what I was living was a lie basically and until I got to feel that innate love that was hidden behind the many layers of self created illusions did I feel that spark of true love and joy once again start to shine and come out to live and appreciate this gift of life.

132. Johanna, what really stands out for me in this blog is to not expect my feelings of inadequacy to be filled by another as a compensation for the love l am not giving myself. To choose to live like this makes me feel powerless and belittled and l know that is not the truth of who l really am. l can’t expect another to make me feel better about me. This is not taking responsibility for my own loving behaviour. A great tool that l have discovered to assist me to grow more self-loving is regularly appreciating me, through my day. lf this is done, often enough, it alleviates the ‘beat-up’ self talk and l see myself beginning to blossom in a new and brighter light.

133. Serge Benhayon has inspired me to discover what I had been searching for – love. Not emotional love but a deep, forever expanding love that was there within my inner-heart just waiting for me to find the key and connect. This love that is in the inner-heart and the essence of every person on Earth and is the energy of the Universe and God.

134. Amazing what is possible with love leading the way. It has been said countless times by Serge Benhayon that “Everything is because of energy” and it is evident after every article like this one that I read that Love is indeed not an emotion, it is truly a quality of energy we can choose to live each day

135. This is really a beautiful testimony to your life and the work of Universal Medicine – so many changes. The care and love for yourself is evident especially the way you worked with the doctors regarding your health condition, taking one step at a time and being open to receiving their support.

136. “The continually growing student body is a reflection of a rippling-on effect. Our world drastically needs this integrity and care, the reflection of it, and the knowing that it can be done – and that it must start with self.” A great point Johanna. Three years on, the world seems to be in an ever-deepening mess. One day people will cry out for the truth and Universal Medicine is here already presenting it.

     1. So true Sue, we all have a responsibility to take out into the world what Universal Medicine presents

137. Ahhhh Johanna, what a deeply inspiring blog. Your life has changed so much and your joy and appreciation of the changes and for the support you’ve received from Serge Benhayon, Natalie Benhayon and Universal Medicine IS evident. The fact that your seizures have stopped really is a miracle, but a miracle that hasn’t happened out of nowhere but has come from your loving choices in changing your lifestyle, as well as the ever loving and priceless support that you have received from Universal Medicine. Well Done.

138. ‘I am from an amazing love – and when that love is allowed to be there and is developed in the body, it is automatically expressed and filtered into every aspect of life.’ So simply and beautifully put. Your personal journey is an inspiring read and shows the power that can be derived from the triumvirate of conventional and complementary medicine with a nurturing, responsible self-love.

139. Johanna, lovely to read how through the teachings of Universal Medicine you have learnt to self-nurture, and be more self-loving, and how through those choices you have been able to give up the need for your medication.

140. Johanna thank you for sharing with us the transformation in your life. What you show us here is that we have a choice. For me this is perhaps the most important lesson I have learnt for Universal Medicine. We have a choice to leave behind the unhealthy, racy, stressed and competitive way of life we have known for a very long time and replace with the choice to be love.

141. What indeed Johanna would happen to the world if everyone was as committed to humanity as Serge Benhayon is. However, his patience and true love which he holds all humans with is the steadiness and foundation from which the world and all of humanity actually can return to being the love they are and the ensuing Will which comes to only but live in a way to also inspire and support all of humanity to come back to their true loving selves.

142. Thank you for sharing Johanna. Your return to wellness and a vital way of living is truly inspirational. When we start to make self-loving choices and truly bring in self-care wow our body can sure love us back and the beautiful rhythm begins and deepens. This business of love is for us all.

143. This says it all Johanna. “So one man, one very connected man, has decided with all of his being to put himself out there to share and reflect our amazingness. Serge Benhayon is in the business of love… One man has done all this. What would happen if every single one of us was as committed to the rest of humanity?” Thank you Johanna for sharing yourself with all of us.

144. “One man has done all this. What would happen if every single one of us was as committed to the rest of humanity?” whoa Johanna. Good question. It’s not very often that you hear about a single parent feeling lovely and not stressed. How you live your life sounds incredible, there is so much in this blog.

145. A truly beautiful and inspiring sharing , Johanna on your connection to self and Love, in all around you. If we all aspire to connect to humanity the changes would be totally divine, no holding back.

146. ‘So one man, one very connected man, has decided with all of his being to put himself out there to share and reflect our amazingness’. And invites us all to be the same wherever we are.

147. Thank you Johanna for sharing your truly inspirational story that shows the world that we do not have to stay stuck in the old patterns of the life we have created, we can change the way we live and the change comes from the loving choices that we make. I have made those choices and like you: “My days and my life are much simpler now – and the more I simplify it, the grander it feels”.

148. Thank you for sharing so intimately the depth of love you now have for yourself and how this has transformed every area of your life. What shines through is the ease in which you now live with family, work responsibilities, and medical conditions. Universal Medicine offers a way, that when lovingly applied, cuts through the complexities, pressures, enticements and confusions of modern life and enables us to care for ourselves and weave a simple steady and loving daily path. This is truly a gift to humanity.

149. This is a gorgeous sharing to feel all the positive changes you’ve made in your life Johanna, all made with a true love and honouring for yourself. Serge Benhayon inspires us to live as he does, in full, in Love, in service.

150. I’m drawn to this blog so often – Is it a wonder when one person has touched so many with his dedication to present what he lives himself alongside his amazing family. Yes absolutely Johanna “Serge Benhayon is in the business of love” and that reflection of love is so very inspiring. Thank you Johanna.

151. “What would happen if every single one of us was as committed to the rest of humanity?” Wow, wouldn’t that be glorious! One man may have initiated us coming back to love but it’s not a one man show seeking recognition and fame. Serge Benhayon always reflects what is possible by his living way which allows plenty of space for us to live this way too. Since meeting Serge I now know we always have a choice where as before I was trapped in a world that gave us no choice. Such incredible freedom and oh what a blessing to have discovered … Finally!

152. For one man – Serge Benhayon to be such an inspiration to so many, an amazing example of his love and true commitment to humanity, reflects to us that it is so possible for us all to make changes in our lives to live in our fullness. Your sharing along with so many others reflect that through making those self loving choices for ourselves which forever continue to bring forth more joy, better health and vitality, inspiration, honesty, true expression etc the list is endless like the love that we all have once buried deep inside but, now freely able to express in the many ways we choose to share this gift. Thank you Johanna for this beautiful sharing of your journey.

153. I look back on my life since being introduced to Universal Medicine and can notice many subtle changes that have occurred over the years. I know I am on the right track and am learning to slow myself down and let go of expectations and demands I have previously placed on myself and to simply enjoy all that the present moment offers.

154. Thanks Johanna for sharing this great blog , its a big question to ask – What would happen if every single one of us was as committed to the rest of humanity? The world would never be the same again.

155. When we introduce true love into the body, what isn’t love gets gently pushed out, or better said is replaced. Building a body of love has been an incredible journey so far and one that will continue always.

156. The simplicity of the teachings of Universal Medicine are revolutionary. The amazing changes take place when we simply listen to our bodies are no less than awe-inspiring.

157. Yes indeed, the business of love. mmmm count me in. It is the most valuable commodity and is free for all. I love this section most Johanna because as I read I can see why I have had a tendency to override my body’s messages: My days and my life are much simpler now – and the more I simplify it, the grander it feels. The more I feel, the more I realise how much there is to feel, and at times there is a sadness knowing that I have spent much of my life shutting this down to avoid dealing with issues. Also Johanna for me I felt sad sometimes that I have chosen not to feel, I have created issues and have ignored and turned my back on that free resource of love that would have supported me in every situation that I ever considered too hard for me to handle. I felt scared of grandness, yet that feeling of grandness was most likely simply me filling up with love and feeling who I really was underneath the issues I created. Go figure!

158. Every time I read your blog Johanna, I find another gem. Everyone needs to have integrity, love and care and it is this that we feel so strongly at Universal Medicine events and presentations. The integrity love and care of everybody being reflecting back to us all.

159. Hear hear, an amazing blog Johanna, thank you. Goes to show it takes but one to make the choice for love at every step, for then another, and another….and so it goes…

160. If reading this blog for the first time I would so want to search out Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon and experience for myself this amazing opportunity offered. Every search I’d made in the past never felt true, real or something I could bring into my everyday. So thank you Johanna this is an amazing sharing for us all.

161. Yes it does feel ‘very true’ what we are offered by the dedicated work of Serge Benhayon – to all of humanity. Every part of me feels it so. The evidence is very plain to see and feel in those who have decided to change their old patterns of living (existing) to a more self loving way of being – this is constantly changing as we fine tune individually to what is needed for us to move forward in life. Such an amazing sharing Johanna – truly inspiring. Thank you.

162. Wow, Johanna, I am inspired by your commitment to love and the changes you have made since coming to the work of Serge Benhayon. As you share, Serge’s commitment to humanity and to live in a loving way that honours and respects himself and all others, has allowed many people to make incredible changes in their lives.

163. Wow Johanne, I loved this! It’s really highlighted how very practical and applicable to all facets of life Serge Benhayon’s presentations are. And they work! It’s fabulous to read you are medication free now, but to me an even bigger miracle is the way in which your day is with your daughter (as a single mum) and also with the children you teach – that is no mean feat! In this, and as a woman, you are nurturing and connected to yourself, and not just as a solution to coping with your huge day, but in a way that causes you to be able to express and do so joyfully….and continue to deepen your love for yourself and others. This is a really beautiful testimony to what love looks like when it’s lived, and the possibilities it brings, and to the profound but simple nature of Serge Benhayons work with people.

164. Hi Johanna. Thanks for the blog. The chance to nurture myself and blossom has led me to a whole new way of life.

165. ‘Our world drastically needs this integrity and care, the reflection of it, and the knowing that it can be done – and that it must start with self’…. and the more people that claim their own innate integrity and wisdom and share that with others, the more loving and true the world will be. Thankyou Johanna, I loved what you have shared in your blog.

166. I really love your blog Johanna. Just one sentence in the first paragraph stands out.
     All of this has not been because of individual teachings per se, but from just one – love. ONE LOVE

167. It may not be normal in the sense that it is not accepted by the majority of humanity, but it is the most natural way of living that I have come across.

     1. I agree Jinya, It may not be the way of life for humanity but it is a way that has made the most sense. Living from our bodies and the core of love within has brought with it the most clarity, support, understanding and true well-being I have ever experienced, it simply doesn’t compare to how humanity is currently being supported to exist.

     2. Its totally natural

168. ‘I have never seen or felt it anywhere else in the world, or with any other group of people. I am so blessed to be part of this group as we are making a true difference.’
     Hear hear!

169. “One man has done all this. What would happen if every single one of us was as committed to the rest of humanity?” Truly awesome to revisit this blog today Johanna. And I appreciate today, more than ever, these two final sentences you have left us with.
     What WOULD happen if every one of us were so deeply and unequivocally committed – to all? Woah…. this stops me in my tracks.
     And, I am left feeling how much my own commitment has deepened in these past few years, with such scope and a clear way forward for the future – step by step, in the “business of love” ahead. Absolutely on board, and with you Johanna. And deeply humble to the fact that without Serge Benhayon and the absoluteness OF his commitment, I would be hiding away just wanting to look after my ‘own patch’, and likely feeling quite miserable – in utter contrast to the Joy I feel in every single day now.

     1. Agree Victoria, we are all designed to be communities dwelling and being isolated is not natural. As you say “looking after our own patch” feels miserable. Even though it is a big task, the amount of energy that is accessible to support another human being is always there.

        1. Agreed Luke. And the commitment must begin with the deepest commitment and honouring of ourselves, that we may live with the solidness of foundation that actually allows us to truly be committed to others. Serge Benhayon unequivocally leads the way on this, and how it can be very real and possible. Re-reading this today, I am struck by the deepening level of commitment in relation to our own bodies, vitality and quality of life that is required – and the greatness of love that can attend to all of these things, that we may consistently be able to so deeply commit in life.

        2. Agree Victoria what you say rings true. It is true no need to calculate how life is to happen but to be lovingly all that you are. Always deepening…

        3. Great point Luke. There’s no point to life without the interactions with another. Looking after your own patch isn’t nearly as fruitful as sharing with another.

        4. I wouldn’t even call my life a life if I were confined to a cave, with no interaction.
           We are designed to be together in a community. So much so in war time a torture technique is to isolate someone in a dark room for long periods of time.
           What I’m highlighting is that being on our own goes against our essence.

170. Johanna,I love how you have described the changes in the women attending that presentations by Natalie. I too have observed so many women deepen the qualities of gentleness and self-love that has allowed them blossom, grow and transform – yet really only bringing out their true essence, free of the many layers of harmful beliefs they held about themselves and self-destructive patterns. Their lives have also transformed and they radiate a sacredness and inner beauty that ever deepens as they unfold. It is a joy to behold.

     1. Yes it’s wonderful and amazing to see and feel. For me, I know as I keep allowing the layers to peel away, I am constantly touched by the depth I feel my own beauty, wisdom, stillness and connection to be.

171. I Loved the way you expressed that ‘Serge Benhayon is in the business of love’
     Indeed he is! ‘his integrity and dedication towards others is at times incomprehensible.’
     I also enjoyed reading about your changes, and the final question you posed, inviting us all to claim this absolute love and dedication to humanity! Perfect.

172. So many amazing changes, all from one simple choice – to be love. Thank you for sharing, Johanna.

173. I agree wholeheartedly, Johanna. The love Serge Benhayon has supported me since I have known him. The love I feel in your blog shows how you live your life in harmony with yourself and others.

174. Beautiful Johanna. I love the fact that love is the big deal herein what you write. That all of what has changed in your life has come back to love and a deep connection to the fact that you are that love.

175. Awesome Johanna, there is so much in what you shared and the love and honesty with which you wrote was just lovely to feel.

176. I am sure every student can recognise themselves in what you have written here Johanna and the world would indeed be a totally different place to live if everyone were to start to look at self love and the hurts they carry. Changing the way we are and how we look at life does seem to have a knock on effect with every aspect of our lives. Thank you for sharing.

177. Johanna, there is so very much in what you have written, that supports us and offers humanity a very clear way to live that is so different to anything else in this world. And all of it centers around us loving our bodies/ourselves first and foremost. Each day I live presents me with choices to continue to choose my live and to constantly adjust my living ways to do this in full. There is never a moment to rest on my laurels. I have done this a little lately and my body is very clearly telling me that to continue to live without evolving my life to suit the love I am is not ok any more.

178. Great question you raise Johanna Fredericks “What would happen if every single one of us was as committed to the rest of humanity?” For me it feels as something beyond my imagination for now but somewhere I know that this is where we are going to, to a society where everybody is committed to restore love in our lives and into our societies and I know that I am looking out for this time to come and becomes reality.

     1. I agree nvanhasstrecht it does indeed feel like where humanity is going and I too am looking forward to the day when we are not all competing and jostling with each other to be top dog, why would we want to when we can all be equally glorious?

179. Thank you Johanna for a lovely blog, Simple and true words that then offer a choice, in what Serge presents. Wow what an amazing place the world would be if we had the same measure of love in our bodies as Serge has in his for all mankind.

180. “The more I feel, the more I realise how much there is to feel”. True, Johanna, what we can feel when we have a relationship with ourselves just becomes deeper and deeper if we allow it to.

181. I love that thanks to being inspired by Serge Bengayon and Universal Medicine you are now living your life without going nuts! What an awesome way to live.

182. Thank you – Johanna for your beautiful sharing and amazing unfolding. It is a true re-claiming of self. Your words ‘I am from an AMAZING LOVE’ felt so profound as l read them. a reflection l will hold for the rest of my days

183. This was really beautiful to read Johanna. I especially loved what you said about learning to express and say what you are feeling in a loving way with the care and gentleness that others deserve. This is something that most, consumed by themselves, would not even consider. There is no doubt that we all most definitely deserve this and it is lovely to be spoken to with the care and gentleness that you speak of, so it is just gorgeous and absolutely inspirational that you make this part of your expression. A beautiful reminder to us all.

184. My goodness Johanna, your testimony is such a powerful tribute to Serge Benhayon, “one man, one very connected man, [who] has decided with all of his being to put himself out there to share and reflect our amazingness and has inspired you so many wonderful learnings. Your capacity to learn and to incorporate the learnings into your life, have to make you without any doubt an amazing teacher.

185. Truly inspiring , Thank you !

186. I love this blog because you ‘go against the grain’ of what it means to be a single mum. So many people that I have talked with over the years feel that it is almost impossible to raise a child single-handedly. You here show how much you are not only lovingly raising your daughter but how you are also lovingly being presented with all those children you work with within the school where you teach. The power of self love to nourish us to be able to be so much love to others is incredible and very clearly defined in your blog here Johanna.

187. The absolute integrity, love, support and true inspiration that Serge Benhayon and Natalie Benhayon offer in the way that they choose to live is almost incomprehensible. Except they make it normal, because in truth it is normal. We have come so far away from living the love that we innately, that when we see two shining example of absolute heaven on earth we almost can not comprehend it. Amazing isn’t it.

188. A very TRUE HEADING if ever I have seen one…. LOVE – THE KEY TO A WHOLE-OF-LIFE CHANGE…

189. I really enjoyed reading your blog…all the changes you have gone through….to be truly living your life now and not just existing. It blows me away, how this one beautiful man Serge Benhayon started this and has simply inspired so many people all over the world….I’m so glad I got to meet him and be a part of all his incredible presentations and workshops…. they have definitely changed my life too.

190. An absolutely beautiful and inspiring blog! Thank you, Johanna. What a joy to read about the amazing changes you have made in your life. I have also made huge changes and feel better than I ever did. Just my awareness has taken leaps! And, remembering that: “when things feel tricky, there is another way” is key. There really IS another way, like you write, and it starts with the letter L (and ends with “o v e”).

191. You express it in the fulness that it is – the transformation, love, care, responsibility, honouring, joy, forever learning and evolving … – the business of love every day every moment every choice. We can make life a business of love.

192. ‘All of this is because I have, and am learning, a deeper acceptance of myself, a deeper loveliness with myself, and an allowing for what is there to be there.’ So beautiful to read and feel the changes that you have lovingly made in your life and the enormous impact that has had.

193. Thank you Johanna for sharing the loving changes you have made in your life. The world has indeed been blessed by Serge Benhayon in the light of truth that he brings for all humanity and the quality of love that inspires us to find in ourselves that same equal love.

     1. Thank you Johanna and Jill, I agree the world is blessed by Serge Benhayon. What you so amazingly present is a miracle Johanna and if only they took the time to read this blog the world at large would find the divine attitude of the Students of The Livingness such a blessing!

194. Thank you for sharing your awesome transformation, it is such a powerful dedication to Serge Benhayon and what he presents in everything he does. Your identification of how and what he and Universal Medicine present is very profound: “Simple and true words that then offer a choice. The words are there to present a choice”. It is then up to the individual to choose or not – you are a living testament of the power of choosing that choice.

195. Yes I completely agree if one man can make such a difference and we understand the power of compounding – then wow. In fact it is already happening as we now have one man Serge Benhayon, and two women Natalie and Simone Benhayon powerhouses of love in their own right and more and more people igniting including all those that choose love as their way of being.

196. “What would happen if every single one of us was as committed to the rest of humanity?” – a great question indeed Johanna. If all of us went into the ‘business of love’, then perhaps all our lives would change and flow the way yours has so awesomely.

197. Awesome blog Johanna. As I read all the changes that have taken place since you have been connected with Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine I felt the amazing transformations that have taken place in my life also.
     From relationships, to health, from daily choices to a deepening understanding of being a woman.
     We are so blessed to have such an inspirational teacher on earth. I am inspired every single day.

198. Thank you Johanna for sharing your journey back to loving yourself and how Love is the key to it all. Having grown up with a mother who was heavily medicated for her absences (and who felt too ashamed to explain to her children what was going on until we were adults) I find it inspiring that you have been able to become medication free through the changes you have made. My mother made different choices and I was able to accept that and lovingly care for her in her last illness but there is a sadness for me in knowing that she had so much more to give.
     I too love the question at the end and look forward to seeing how this unfolds.

199. That is a great question you pose at the end of your article – what would happen if we were all as committed to humanity. Its part of a great and unfolding experiment to find the answer to this out together.

200. Reading your story, Johanna, is a great confirmation of the fundamental shift I have also made in my life with the inspiration of Serge Benhayon and the love and feeling of such utter equality he shares with us all. He reminds me in this way that ‘I am Love too’.

     It is like Serge puts out a gentle but consistent question to us all, something like “does that feel like love, or abuse?”… and this has made me want to go deeper into self-honesty which helped me SEE that the choices I had been repeatedly making were not based on love, were not loving to ME and were what had depleted me to the point of the suffering and dysfunction I was in four years ago.

     My choices are so much more loving and supportive of me than they ever were and my life continues to feel more and more like mine; more like the life I have always felt in my heart I am here to live & to share.

201. Beautifully shared Johanna thank you. I feel it all for myself as a reflection also. Serge Benhayon is real love inspiration and reflection for humanity in every aspect there is in life.

202. I can relate to so much of what has been shared, thank you Johanna but the part that stands out is:
     “Look at the number of people who have truly changed their lives, benefitted from what he has reflected in his way of living and in his presentations. One man has done all this. What would happen if every single one of us was as committed to the rest of humanity?”

     Great question..What could happen..? Love 🙂 ?

203. Simple, clear and feels truly loving.

204. A beautiful inspiring expression on the power of love, and how when we embody love a whole new world opens up for us. Thank you for sharing your journey Johanna.

205. A beautiful sharing thank you Johanna. I can really relate with this, ‘ I am more aware and have developed the self-awareness to question why certain things happen the way they do – and to know that there are other possible ways to deal with things. I have changed and continue to work with my love and the quality I am in with myself and others’. Yes, I too like to bring understanding to what is behind the initial ‘thing that is happening’, i.e., why am I really upset here? And our quality we choose to be in is so important, with consequences for everyone.

206. Your blog has touched my heart Johanna.
     Hearing about your journey of learnings and blessings.
     We are free to choose whether to accept or reject the truth/s presented by Serge Benhayon, for me, accepting them has been life changing.
     I long for the day when we can answer your final question !

207. Business of Love is EVERYONE’S business!
     I felt very deeply moved by your expression Johanna – thank you.

208. Thank you – yes – bring on the day when we are all engaged in the business of love, no matter what else we are doing!

209. “The business of love”… fantastic.

210. Johanna, this is a really wonderful article, I so enjoyed reading.

211. I loved reading your article Johanna. Thank you for sharing.

212. I can feel the rhythm of your life in your writing and it is beautiful. And a big YES to the final question… what if we were all committed to love and humanity in the same way… heaven on earth one might suggest.

     1. Absolutely Joel!

213. Awesome Johanna! You typify the changes that so many students have made to their lives as a result of making loving choices. Throughout there has been a common denominator… Serge Benhayon’s consistent love.

214. Beautifully said. Thank you.

215. Self awareness is such a beautiful thing and in developing it there are so many facets of our lives that can benefit.

216. Johanna – thank you for sharing. It is so true that there ‘is’ another way to live that does not involve or rely on stimulation (via food, alcohol etc.) or stress as its driver, and that learning to live with love in and for the body can bring about a beautiful simple and more joyful way of living. I too am deeply grateful for the work that Serge, his family and Universal Medicine present, and the inspiration they offer by simply living the way they live and reflecting love. Your last comment resonated deeply with me “What would happen if every single one of us was as committed to the rest of humanity?”, and made me aware of the responsibility we all have in relation to our choices and the way we live, and how powerful and inspiring the change can be when we choose love as our way of living.

     1. Yes I also love this sentence Angela.

     2. This sentence stood out for me too Angela as it is such a pertinent question given the results of one single man’s expression of all the love he is. It would be a very very very different world if this was expression of love was expressed by all

     3. Choosing love as our way of living – awesome sentence that reminds me that no ‘thing’ that I do, no rhythm or routine outside of me, can match how I feel when I truly love and look after myself – and how that then in turn supports all that I do, and everyone else in my life.

217. Johanna, you are indeed “amazing love”. Thank-you for sharing how you make this love real, i.e. how you live it in simplicity – to the best of your ability – every single day. Truly inspiring, truly amazing, and truly committed.

     1. Thank you Victoria for the pure beauty expressed in your comment. It’s amazing today to see many many many women claim their true beauty and live from their heart.

218. Thank you Johanna, this is so simply and clearly written – I love the expression you bring. It is very inspiring to me on my own path of return.

     1. Thank you for your appreciation Stephanie. I have found . . . Often the truest things are the simplest.
