The teachings and presentations of Serge Benhayon have helped me in every aspect of my life: in my work, my home, at school, with food, exercise, physical health and, most importantly, in the way I am with myself and people, and the relationships I have with them. 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. How can it not be so? Love has no barriers and does not discriminate.
I was introduced to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine (UniMed) five years ago, through a friend and a Gentle Meditation group. 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.
I am so blessed to be part of this group as we are making a true difference. 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. 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.
I was initially drawn to do the Sacred Esoteric Healing Level 1 course, and from there realised there were reasons behind what was going on for me. I heard and felt simple and true words. I became aware that there was much more than I allowed myself to feel about myself. I learnt, and am still very much learning (as we all are – including Serge himself), to be more aware of my body, to be nurturing and caring towards myself and others, and to not expect another person to fill my needs as a compensation for the love that I am not even sharing with myself.
Most of all I am learning to allow and to know that I deserve the loveliness of feeling myself as a woman, especially since the amazing presentations and reflection that Natalie Benhayon shares with all the other women, who have also chosen to nurture themselves and blossom. Natalie is simply a woman who has chosen a very different way of being with herself, and others, a way that completely stems from love – and girl – does it show! 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. She is a true inspiration to me.
Yes, in many cases what may be presented by Serge (and lived) is not said anywhere else, but the reason so many are drawn to it, know it and choose to be inspired by it, is because it is simply truth. Simple and true words that then offer a choice. The words are there to present a choice. In my experience women, in most cases, are the ones that tend to hold things together no matter how dysfunctional things are or hard-going life has been for them (and I am sure if you ask your mothers, your grandmothers and great-grandmothers, their stories/experiences will highlight this too). For me, women have always been the stronger/foundational gender, the ones who hold everything together.
Something very true has been presented to us all, to choose or reject (and either choice is fine); but for me, 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.
Let’s face it, the way humanity is thinking and acting is clearly not working.
The way I live, the way I am at work, the way I feel at work and during any other day, feels mostly great. I can see that people are exhausted, tired, driving their bodies and generally not coping with life, and this is very sad. There have been moments of struggle for me, as I have chosen to make my life more simple and learn to feel how things are for me, however, these moments are nothing compared to what I feel in my body now.
I enjoy being at work, I enjoy being at home on my own, and I enjoy being with my daughter or with friends or family. 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. To make the changes in my daily life that support my body, not destroy it or hinder me. I am constantly learning and committing to the connection to and with myself, to my love and to the love of God. With this comes a knowing from my body – that that is somewhere within each and every one of us (especially if I can feel it, relative to the way I used to treat myself and others).
I have learned and developed many things in my day for myself. I have learned to honour when I am tired, to go to sleep when my body is telling me so. Going to bed earlier has allowed me to wake up earlier, to wake up refreshed with energy, to get myself ready with plenty of time in a way that I enjoy and have fun with, to get bags packed with the lunches that I have caringly prepared the night before, and breakfast prepared all before I wake my daughter up, to then help her to get ready before we go to school and work for the day. And to really be there for her, as well as with the kids I teach when I am at work.
Before I began to self-care, I would have moments of being quite racy and elated to moments of feeling quite low; I exercised to be thin and felt unhappy with how I looked; I over-ate (especially chocolate) to deal with life; I over re-acted when things didn’t go the way I expected them to, and at times I manipulated others to make things as I wanted them; I used to cry myself to sleep many nights; and was generally trying to tick all the boxes life was throwing at me… and all of this while I was studying, or working or being with friends and family. I am sure it all looked fine from the outside as I had a good job, owned a few houses, had a husband and a baby – but on the inside I was hurting without really knowing how to express it.
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.
I have learnt to prepare for the day, to prepare supportive, nurturing, nutritional food that I really enjoy making. I have learned to give my body the exercise it needs. I have learned to stop, to feel, to give myself time, to sit down in the day to eat, to have a break (or a nap), to have a cuppa or just to rest and have time-out for me. I have learned that racing around just gets you exhausted and debilitated and that I can actually do more now, with a lot more energy and in a more caring and loving way, without needing caffeine, sugar, alcohol or heavy foods that lack nourishment.
I have learned to eat what my body needs, to feel how food is sitting in my body. I am learning to let go of the foods, etc that I have felt alter my body in any way – whether it be racing it up or making me tired. I have learnt, and am still learning, to express/say what I am feeling in a loving way, with the care and gentleness others deserve. I am learning to share the appreciation I feel, to be more understanding of others, to be less reactive, and even how to take things less personally (all of which just causes stress and a very irritated and tired body, so who needs it?).
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. Thank you to Serge and his presentations – I now know that I always have a choice in this.
The benefits of all of this (which was all inspired by the reflections and presentations from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine) is that I am raising my daughter on my own six out of seven days with openness, working as a teacher at the same time, without going nuts. Bringing all of myself – when being with and teaching the kids – playfully and joyfully, knowing that when things feel tricky, there is another way. The simplicity of my day and honouring what I feel from my body has supported this. My relationships with others feel more open. I am 34 years old, a single, working mum who is enjoying the simplicity of daily life and who has a deep contentment within herself.
One of my biggest physical blessings (and there have been many) is what my body has shown me from my changing the way I am with it: 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. I did this over a three month period while my doctor monitored me and my levels with blood tests and so on. I felt that I was getting enough rest, was looking after myself well enough, I was no longer drinking alcohol or smoking cigarettes, and I had learned to not take on so much and become stressed (these were all triggers for me). I have been medication-free for three and a half years now. Whilst these lifestyle and medication changes have worked for me thus far, I want to be clear that every case is different and no one should stop or reduce medication without consulting their doctor. Conventional medicine, along with the changes I have made in my life, has been a great support to me in my healing process.
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. 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?
By Johanna Smith, Perth, Western Australia
The Truth about Serge Benhayon 
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.
‘the business of love’…I like that Johanna. Perhaps love should be everyone’s business.
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!
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.
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.
The seesaw of ups and downs, of elation and the doldrums is never-ending when we don’t connect to ourselves first.
Self-acceptance is a path that opens the heart to understanding the soul that we are within the body.
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.
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.
Very well said Doug
What the world needs now is true genuine love and Universal Medicine is bringing it in bucket-loads.
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.
When we hear a true truth and our being accepts it as so, expansion is felt and alchemy is made.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
‘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.
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.
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.
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.
Without a doubt Serge Benhayon is the truest example possible of love and it is an example we can all be.
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.
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.
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.
and continues to do so
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 .
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.
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.
“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.”
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.
“-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?
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
“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.
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.
Knowing I am deserving of love, from and for myself, has changed everything, thanks to Universal Medicine.
“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.
“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?”
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.
‘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.
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.
‘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.
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.
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.
“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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
“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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
Thanks for highlighting the power of love, truth and responsibility, qualities that certainly change lives for the better
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.
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.
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.
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.
‘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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
Its totally natural
“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.
So true Sue, we all have a responsibility to take out into the world what Universal Medicine presents
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.
‘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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
“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.
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.
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.
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.
“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!
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.
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…
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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…
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.
So many amazing changes, all from one simple choice – to be love. Thank you for sharing, Johanna.
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.
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.
Awesome Johanna, there is so much in what you shared and the love and honesty with which you wrote was just lovely to feel.
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.
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.
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.
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?
“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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Truly inspiring , Thank you !
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.
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.
A very TRUE HEADING if ever I have seen one…. LOVE – THE KEY TO A WHOLE-OF-LIFE CHANGE…
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.
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”).
‘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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
“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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 🙂 ?
Simple, clear and feels truly loving.
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.
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.
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 !
