1. As a woman I can say I had no idea that there was a major disconnection between me an my body. My mother was my first reflection of what a woman was as a young child I noticed that she only felt beautiful when she was ‘dressed up’ to go out somewhere. That she did not feel that beauty all the time and of course that sets up a conundrum within me along with other family situations that made it feel unsafe to be a female. I grew up believing that to be a female was to be inferior to a male. I’m sure my experience of growing up is not too dissimilar to other women so we have set up a society based on false ideals and beliefs that is has a distorted version of what it is to be a truly sacred woman.

2. Great list Andy, and may I add the sex slave industry is alive and well with parents even selling there daughters for money to the sex trade.

3. amazing Andy, beautiful to read.

4. I appreciate all you have written Andy as what you have written is from a man’s point of view. You are laying the foundations now so that those men that come after you can now experience something different because you have challenged the consciousness that rules over us and by writing this blog have exposed the deep rooted harm that has been done to women and young girls all over the world for centuries.

5. Exposing the sex trade should be coming from what is in mainstream media but as with so many things that are putting disregard within everyone’s reach it gets very little attention other than Loving blogs like this Andy, so thank you. We can all have more awareness of many issues that get swept under the carpet with some getting the occasional airing to make life look like someone is doing a good thing.

6. Andy this is a brilliant blog, and only yesterday I understood why women’s breasts have been so denigrated it came to me in the shower as is often the case I fully understood that women’s breast are actually where we can feel our power and at the same time fragility, delicateness and stillness. It seems to me that there is a relationship between the womb and breasts more that we are told or taught and when the two align you can feel the power of being a woman it is a very beautiful and delicate place to be.
   But humanity doesn’t want women in their power as this would be a huge game changer for the world and that is why for centuries women have been subjugated and crushed especially by main stream religions because they know that once a woman regains her innate power which is stillness then the spirit that resides in all of us will be exposed in the excessive motion it is choosing. It runs a mile from the stillness because it knows stillness will bring it back into alignment with our soul.

   1. Beautifully said and read Mary.

7. A powerful message and a call for all women to honour the sacredness of their body.

8. This disconnection from sacredness is the very thing that has created the what and how of the world currently is, hence the ridicule and attack against anything that offers an opportunity for true change that would bring a stop to it. And the list here reveals how diseased we are from that, to a point that we as a race don’t even recognize it as such by large.

9. What is shared here as to the ownership of breasts by all except the women that have them points to the reason why some react to the Esoteric Breast Massage modality.

10. All the Esoteric Healing modalities are a guiding compass to what the future holds as you have shared Andy.

11. Beautiful to re-read this – and coming from a man- thankyou Andy. I’m also volunteering on a maternity ward where I support women re feeding their newborns. Lots to ponder on…

12. The list and then the following words show the contrast between how women are treated, by themselves and others, because no one can claim anything if we don’t first give it away. And how it feels when we claim ourselves for ourselves.

13. What a powerful list we have here Andy! Where do women go from here? Thank God for the Esoteric Breast massage to support every woman if they so choose to come back and claim their body.

    1. Absolutely Caroline, with every Esoteric breast massage I receive it is an opportunity to reconnect with myself on a very deep and personal level. Coming back to me is deeply satisfying, I may not always hold the feeling but I know I have a marker in my body as a reference point to come back to.

14. “Universal Medicine is the organisation that dared to go there: the one group that despite ridicule and loathing, identified that major disconnection, then answered the call by presenting the modality (the Esoteric Breast Massage) and training the dedicated female practitioners to begin the process of reconnection and reclamation of the essence of femaleness in form.” Beautifully said Andrew and so very true.

15. Beautiful Andy, your honouring and appreciation of the qualities you daughters and wife now offer the world is evident and heartwarming to read.

16. Thank you Andy for sharing about the imposing beliefs of the woman’s body and in particular of their breasts. By reading the list on the top a deep sadness came up for how disconnected I’ve been of my tenderness and sensitivty as a woman and how I’ve allowed and accepted the restrcitive norms from this society about what I should and shouldn’t be. At this moment I deeply appreciate feeling this sadness and not running away anymore. Feeling deeply supported by the amazing people around me and my practicioner in this process to return to me again, with no pictures, rules and expectations. A choice that brings me joy and the understanding about what this life is about, much more than a ‘veil of tears’ indeed.

    1. Inma as women many of us are disconnected to our tenderness and sensitivity we are using male energy to compete with males which has upset the balance of how we should be living. When I was younger I to felt I had to compete with males in order to be seen and recognised in society. Through the healing modalities of Universal Medicine and in particular Esoteric Breast massage there is an opportunity to reconnect back to the delicateness that is within us all.

17. Beautiful Andy, the love is felt in the words you write, the observation is real and beautiful because it is so appreciative of the enfoldment of a women living from her essence..

    1. I agree with you Danna everyone who reads this blog can feel the love and honouring of a woman by a man it is beautiful to feel.

18. I will be forever appreciative that Universal Medicine “dared to go there” and begin the conversation about women’s breasts and their relationship with them. And then to support women to begin to develop this all-important relationship, presented the world with the Esoteric Breast Massage, which I, among many, have benefited so much from. It seems to me that humanity ought to be welcoming this amazingly supportive modality, not criticising it, as a woman in a true relationship with herself, and her body, including her breasts, brings so much to this world

    1. We have degraded and reduced so much in life including the female form, the Esoteric Breast Massage is simple supporting women to return to their natural sacredness – a true support back to the universality we come from.

    2. Yes, I too am appreciative that Universal Medicine presents the truth, even if some people struggle with truth, ‘ Universal Medicine is the organisation that dared to go there: the one group that despite ridicule and loathing, identified that major disconnection, then answered the call by presenting the modality (the Esoteric Breast Massage) and training the dedicated female practitioners to begin the process of reconnection and reclamation of the essence of femaleness in form.’

       1. We are fed so many lies by the pillars of establishment that we have all had a hand in setting up. When these lies are questioned, we the establishment concoct even more lies to destroy the truth of what is being felt by the few that is rippling out to the many. History will show that Universal Medicine dared as you say Andy to go there to expose the rot we are all living in and the shame-full way we treat ourselves and ridicule others.

19. Agree Brendan, it is great that Andy has started the conversation and exposed the lack of respect and decency many still hold around breasts and women in general.

20. Thank you Andy, you are deeply honouring of your daughters and of all women in this blog. When we are disconnected to our bodies it is easy to allow all levels of disregard and abuse to enter, the EBM modality supported me immensely to reclaim myself as a woman. The EBM modality is deeply healing and powerful and awakened me to my unique qualities and divine essence.

    1. “When we are disconnected to our bodies it is easy to allow all levels of disregard and abuse to enter”, so true Anna, and honouring all our body communicates can transform every part of our lives including our health and self worth.

21. Restoring an honoring relationship with my body has been transformational and empowering to say the least. Inspired and supported by Universal Medicine, The Way of The Livingness and the presentations of Serge Benhayon and Natalie Benhayon I now understand and can feel how objectified and abused we as women have been with our selves and have allowed ourselves to be through our separation to our essence within, the wisdom of our body and the cycles that exist therein. Without our connection to our bodies in its wholeness, we lose sense of the sacredness that we natural are and hold and we are left us with an emptiness and need for identification, acceptance and attention to feel some degree of easing the unsettlement. Yet in truth it is one that can never satiate that which can only be fulfilled through our connection to all that we are.

22. I love the fact that this blog has been written by a man because it shows that men do in fact know the harassment that women experience over their breasts and that they care about it.

    1. I too love that this blog on breasts has been written by a man. Men are very sensitive and tender equally sensitive and tender as women. I also love the appreciation shared and expressed for the women in Andy’s life clearly observing the changes they have made and are making. It is very beautiful.

       1. Caroline I agree this blog also shows that Andy is in touch with his qualities of sensitivity and delicateness otherwise he would not have been able to write so tenderly about his daughters and wife. This shows that men are just as sensitive and delicate as women but are brought up to be the complete opposite of their natural way of being, which leaves society bereft of their true qualities. So we have men and women who are not living their true nature which leaves us all in the constant unsettlement of knowing that there is more to life but not being able to verbalise what that more is, which is the discontent we cannot stop feeling.

23. Thank you Andy, this is very beautiful indeed. A wonderful way to expose the lovelessness of what we are used to and have accepted as normal, yet that is so utterly not ok. We need to set up a standard that comes from the worth we feel that we are. That is based on the true love inside. And then see what we do want and no longer want and accept.

24. “Universal Medicine is the organisation that dared to go there: the one group that despite ridicule and loathing, identified that major disconnection, then answered the call by presenting the modality (the Esoteric Breast Massage) and training the dedicated female practitioners to begin the process of reconnection and reclamation of the essence of femaleness in form. And this they lovingly do. This pioneering modality will one day be available to women everywhere, until such day as it is no longer required. I agree that the Esoteric Breast Massage needs to be available for women all over the world to support them to claim back their body and that includes their breasts.

25. And thank God Universal Medicine did go there – my life will certainly never be the same again and I know it is the same for thousands of other people. I can’t wait for the day when everyone gets to rediscover these facts, and hence the amazing world inside them.

26. The level of respect expressed in this testimonial, is inspiring for women to hold themselves in the same level of honouring.

    1. Great point Jenny – this is a deeply beautiful reflection of the degree of cherishing, honouring and respect we as women need to embrace and claim for ourselves, and equally so as women among each other.

27. It’s beautiful to read a testimonial from a loving father and husband. The love men can have for women is so beautiful, it can make every single cell in our body tingle. Thank you Andy.

28. The fight over breasts is only an indication of how disconnected humanity is as a whole, starting with women. If women were connected to them and could feel the divine connection they represent, there would be no fight.

    1. I agree with what you have written Eduardo but when you are living in mud and all you see is mud, why would you think there was anything different than the mud you are living in? It wasn’t until Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine came along and offered a different perspective that any of us realised how disconnected we are to ourselves while living in the mud as it has a numbing and dulling effect on our senses. Now not only women but men too have been given a different choice and are waking up to the possibilities that they can claim themselves back from the mud of life. Andy is a great role model because he has claimed back his sensitivity and delicateness as a man and in that is cherishing his daughters and wife for all the beauty that they are too.

29. Awesome Andy, very powefully expressed – like only a truly loving man could, honouring women for who they innately are.

30. Andy the absolute respect, love and greatest honour you express for the women in your own family, as well as for women and their female bodies in life is a beautiful healing to receive, thank you.

31. I loved reading the gorgeous blog again Andy, it makes me realise there is so much more for me to claim in the deep nurturing qualities I hold in my body as a woman, and the blessings we have been presented with by having regular Esoteric Breast Massages.

    1. The depth of this quality radiates far deeper than we let ourselves truly feel and know. Thank you for offering us a blog that inspires and truly holds the depth of appreciation that is on offer for us all.

32. What a beautifull blog especially coming from a father of 3 girls and seeing what they have been through and where they are now. You bring a deeper and true understanding for all women and expose the insidiousness we have allowed with regards to women’s bodies and breasts not respecting them but instead using them for a means whether it be an industry or relationship. And yes you are so right Universal Medicine, Serge Benhayon and his family, The Way of the Livingness and students are the future starting to live this true future now.

33. I Love this article, light, loving and straight to the point and from a man who expresses who he is and appreciates women for who they are. It is ground breaking to read this, free from the shackles of stereotypes and illusion, indeed, we as men and women need to reclaim and celebrate who we truly are in relationship with our bodies and each other.

34. Yes it’s true – my breasts are mine and it is up to me to honour and cherish not just my breasts but also my whole body.

35. The imposition on a woman’s body is encouraged by our different cultures in many ways. The challenge women have is that they in many cases seem blind to that imposition. The Esoteric Breast Massage modality reconnects them with the knowing of their body as their body.

    1. The modality offers nothing less than the understanding that our body is a vehicle of honouring and anything less can be felt at that moment.

    2. What you have written Heather is simple and true
       ‘The Esoteric Breast Massage modality reconnects them with the knowing of their body as their body.’
       Can someone please tell me why so much fuss is being made about supporting women to truly reconnect to themselves? It does not make any sense to me that it is causing such an uproar.
       What we should be roaring about is the sex trade, the rampant use of pornography and the fact that we seem to think it’s okay for young children to watch. The abuse of women worldwide, the fact that a woman can go to jail in certain countries if she aborts a foetus that was the result of rape. There are so many injustices against women, there is not enough time or space to include them all and yet what gets the most negative press is an attempt by women to claim themselves back by using a modality called Esoteric Woman’s Breast Massage.

36. This blog highlights just how much we have objectified not only the whole female body, but each one of her body parts in a way that is really demoralising and demeaning to women. Guys even claim that they are ‘a breast man’, ‘a leg man’ or ‘a butt guy when describing which female body part turns them on the most. It’s like all they are focusing on is how to use the female body to relieve themselves of their life’s tensions through sexual fantasies and encounters. But what Esoteric Breast Massage has brought to women is massive, as it allows them to honour and respect themselves once again so deeply that they would never engage in relationships with any man that would objectify them in that way.

37. A woman and her breasts have much more of a story to tell than sex. The Esoteric Breast Massage is the only modality I know of that knows this.

38. When you first start reading this blog, it’s like it’s written by a female… and then when you see at the end it’s written by a man it makes the read and its contents a game-changer. The observation, level and depth you write in Andy and the respect held for the womanly form as well as the healing modality Esoteric Breast Massage is hugely inspiring. Thank you for writing this and highlighting the way both men can be with women’s breasts plus also women themselves too, and the importance of what the breasts hold within – a deeply nurturing quality that is to be held with nothing but love and respect.

39. Reading this list, as a woman, what I could feel is how I have sought validation from others in order to feel enough as a woman and how I had forgone my own relationship with myself and my body. If I don’t claim them, someone/something else will. Simple, really.

40. The Esoteric Breast Modality is a gift for all women, the woman has an opportunity to reconnect back to her true essence and then everyone around her receives this blessing as well.

    1. It sure is a gift for all women Anna and likewise it is for a men as we then get to live with women in society who are more claimed being their natural divine selves without all the effort put into trying to be something they are not. So we all benefit and as a man in no way do I feel left out.

41. Many would proclaim their breasts are their own yet are they truly loved, accepted and not held up to any of the ideals and beliefs that abound in society and were listed up above so well?

42. It is lovely to hear from a father acknowledge his daughters reconnection and appreciation of and to their bodies.

43. Thank you Andy, I love this blog. It is strong, clear, light and very readable .Can we have some more blogs from you please?

44. I love this humerous take on the way the female body, especially the breasts are related to and bringing it back to a true relationship – one of appreciation and honouring. And so beautifully and gracefully expressed by a man. Thank you Andy Baldwin.

45. Graciously powerful Andy, clearly showing us just how much the woman’s breasts are ‘owned’ and imposed upon by so many, many aspects of our society. The Esoteric Breast Massage modality absolutely and totally supports a woman to return back to her own body, supporting her to begin to understand, feel and reacquaint her back to her own nurturing centres within her body, a quality that is instrumental for truly restoring many aspects of Women’s Health.

46. Thank you Andy, we as women have definitely to claim our whole body back in true appreciation, for without all these above comments shared and lived behaviors can exist and will be accepted. It takes all of us as woman to claim back our truth, beauty, strength and power.

47. Wow Andy thank you for such a powerful writing, showing so much love and tenderness coming from you to your daughters and wife, you have described so many many ways our breasts are abused and all of it is what is called normal in society, thank heaven for the heavenly modality that Serge has brought through that connects us to the divine essence of nurturing in our breasts and offers healing of the abuse we have inflicted on our bodies.

48. It’s beautiful how you describe your daughters and wife restoring their relationship with their body, there are many ideals and beliefs that we can pick up and subscribe to that undermine our sense of worth and dismiss the value of our body. Universal Medicine have helped me to rebuild the relationship that I have with my body too and from that have a much greater sense of clarity of what feels true to me in life, something that is continually deepening.

49. Wow Andy, thank you for this powerful and heavenly blog. Deep appreciation to you for writing this and sharing it with the men and women in this world. Your words are like gold dust sprinkled down from heaven to nurture humanity to grow.

50. Amazing Andy, thank you. It is true Universal Medicine has brought out the incredible healing modality Esoteric Breast Massage (EBM), at first I wondered what it was, but once I discovered and felt into its integrity I found there is only absolute love and respect palpable from the EBM modality, its practitioners, and sessions. I have never witnessed such deep integrity put into practice – when receiving an EBM session myself – for the first time and all the sessions thereafter with varying practitioners whom were trained in and with the utmost integrity. I have attended many many other (healing) courses too with Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine and practice (learning) myself, having been trained with the same integrity and professionalism.

51. “Universal Medicine is the organisation that dared to go there:” and offers women the opportunity to reclaim and reconnect to the woman she so beautifully and preciously is.

52. When a woman is connected to her breasts, we can all feel the radiance of that connection. We can also feel that such connection and emanating beauty is an offering for all. There is nothing like it.

53. We sell our body out, like a bad real estate deal, without even moving in and occupying our home. Once we loose our space, we seek other people’s lives and attention to feel whole. But this is no better than squatting. It’s time we reclaimed our body and made it clear it’s not for sale at any price. Thank you Andy.

54. Such a powerful blog would be such a powerful share with the main stream media in busting the myths that often crush a woman into feeling what is the true purpose of this part of the women’s anatomy.

55. What we come to as women is so so so far away from our essential beingness. Hence we need to become more honest with ourselves and support each other with our re-connection to who we are. Our body is precious and so we must treat it, with the care it deserves so deeply.

    1. Danna while women feel they have to compete and in some cases out compete the male then there is no way our bodies will be treated with the care and respect that they deserve. This is the plight of humanity.

56. I appreciate this blog greatly as I’ve taken the amazing relationship I now have with my breasts for granted. I used to find my breasts painful, annoying and attention grabbing and I spent a lot of time trying to work out how to cover them up and look great at the same time. Now I know that my breasts are nurturing centres in my body that can communicate a wealth of information if I choose to feel it.

57. There are a lot of harming beliefs and ideals ready to stake a claim to the purpose of our breasts if we subscribe to them! And some we may even take for granted as just being the way it is… But from within we do know what is and isn’t true for us if we allow ourselves that awareness and permission to honour our sensitivity.

58. Our breasts – just another beautiful part of the body for us to honour and cherish.

59. “If a woman can be alienated from her very breasts, her divinely endowed centres of the nurturing essence, then she is already far down the path of separation from self”. This is the evil that has been imposed on women and we women have accepted over time. Our breasts are none of the things listed in the blog, they are designed to emanate nurturing and a holding love that can heal and restore ‘right relationships’ with ourselves and each other.

60. Re-claiming my breasts back as my own and not putting them out on show for any kind of attention feels amazing. Not that I would a focus but now I can actually feel the quality of my breasts and with the support of the Esoteric Breast Massage I now know the potential to how they can feel and the whole body too for that matter. This quality is deeply powerful yet so sweet and delicate at the same time.

61. So profoundly shared Andy. In an age where we are seemingly considered advanced, we as women are still imprisoned by an ill-consciousness that keep us form living in the power of who we truly are. As such it is a godsend the have a modality available to us that re-ignites and empowers a woman to realise and re-claim her relationship with her body, so she can share with the world the sacredness that we have lost touch with, yet is the true way of being for us all.

62. Awesome blog Andrew. And a great reminder that is up to us, as women, to make the first move and reclaim and honour our bodies in full, setting a new standard of ‘normal’.

63. As a woman being in the presence of men who truly honour you in your entirety (and not just pieces) makes us melt into our innate beauty even more. Thank you for writing this deeply respectful and caring blog Andrew.

64. It’s so standard to walk about with our body in tow, like a badly behaved dog we think we have to drag around. We get up to all sorts and it’s there by default. How different life would be if we embraced and connected to our physique and let it be in the driving seat. Perhaps then we would see that it’s us who are giving away our power. For as you show Andy our body is waiting for us to claim it back and stop being driven by ideals and beliefs.

65. You know everything in nature serves a purpose? Such as tides and trees, bugs and grass, there is not anything that science has not given a greater whole explanation for, even down to feathers on a bird, including their shape size and colour, and the scales on a lizard or the stripes on a zebra. Everything has purpose and our bodies are natural too, they fit within the whole of nature as we know it to be on earth. So it stands to reason that every part of a woman’s body will be in line with true purpose, and this includes her breasts. But I have noticed that science can at times reduce the different parts of nature down to only being about mere function, and taken in to this perspective by science is the human body including woman’s breasts. So what if there was something in science that is missing, something beyond the reductionism, something that complements the facts that it (science) can so brilliantly explain? What if science is missing its true connection with the divine and in that is missing the divine nature of people and of all their body parts?

66. A woman’s breasts must surely be one of the most misunderstood body parts there is. The view that they are purely for sex or breast feeding leaves no room for the woman to appreciate this immensely tender and sensitive part of her body.

67. “To be graced to witness the glorious unfoldment of these women from the emotional straitjackets which bound them to the rollercoaster of life as we knew it, has provided a joy that I had forgotten I was capable of feeling: it is a joy that confirms that the life soulfully lived can rise up and soar out of the mire of despair that characterizes the ‘veil of tears’.” What an honour thank you for sharing Andy.

68. Every time I read this blog my eyes well up – with the love and honouring for all women that this blog expresses from a man and also in what the blog is powerfully exposing – the caging of the woman’s body, by society and by both genders – yes, by women themselves. To let ourselves know what a woman has done unto herself by walking away from the Godliness she holds within her body for the benefit of absolutely everyone around her, is a confronting moment that can bring up a lot of pain. But this is also a glorious moment, because in that realisation we clock what is possible, what we have walked away from and what we can return to.

69. Great contribution by a man, writing on the malappropriation of women’s breasts – everyone and sundry’s trophy and possession at the expense of the woman herself.

70. Thanks Andy, it’s very powerful to read this again, I appreciated this line about the dedication of Universal Medicine to deliver the Esoteric Breast Massage modality, and to train “dedicated female practitioners to begin the process of reconnection and reclamation of the essence of femaleness in form.” It’s such a beautiful line “the essence of femaleness in form”, and it’s really deepened my understanding and awe of what Universal Medicine and the Esoteric Breast Massage can deliver to women, and therefore the whole of humanity.

71. A very powerful blog Andy, and what I love is it is written by a man who has recognised how both men and women have abused the true meaning of women’s breasts to satisfy our own individual needs, without any judgement or criticism, just straight talking as to how it very much is in the world today. Your blog shows how much we have let go of our true meaning of breasts to accommodate the world at the expense of our own bodies.

72. There are many things put in place to stop the sacredness of women being earthed and lived again. This blog allows one to feel the imposing squashing nature of such energy and how we play a part in it. Sacredness is for all and comes from all, do we wish to squash such truth?

73. Thank you, Andy for highlighting what is cleary there for us to see that those are accepted lies, a place taken by the emptiness of us all standing for what truth is – what being a true woman is… It at the same times shows us how we have given up ourselves as women in our world today.. But heh, its never too late to change, not by fighting against society – but simply living what a true woman feels to you.

74. It is an honour to read and feel the respect, decency and absolute adoration you have for your daughters Andy – and no doubt this spreads and reaches many a woman as it has done for me now. I feel very respected reading this.

75. I have heard girls as young as 8 say, I do not want to grow breast because people will make fun of them…you can’t tell me that children don’t listen and feel everything that is happening around them. We in society are responsible for a girl not celebrating turning into a woman. We can be role models to shine the light that it is amazing to mature, if we choose to hold ourselves with love and care. Words can hurt, but denying who we are hurts so much more.

    1. Samantha your comment has helped me understand my relationships with my own developing breasts 30+ years ago, and how the attitudes and images I saw would have caused a rejection in me, instead of a celebration of my breasts.

76. Universal Medicine recognised the call and went there despite ridicule and judgements to present the much needed Esoteric Breast Massage as you say Andy, ‘by presenting the modality (the Esoteric Breast Massage) and training the dedicated female practitioners to begin the process of reconnection and reclamation of the essence of femaleness in form.’

77. Thank you Andy, this is profound.

78. Thank you Andy for bringing this subject to the fore and for the appreciation of Esoteric Breast Massage which has been so key in helping us women connect to our breasts again.

79. Your words here Andrew identify the selfishness that’s at the core of so much that we currently do – everything is focused on being better, stronger and getting more. But in truth our body and its constituent parts are here not for me or you but to align and bring through the universe and live, breathe and work for the all. Its like taking a state of the art super computer that powers the internet and using it to print bar codes off to sell peanuts. Yes it can do it – but boy it’s actually designed to do so much more.

80. It is very simple yet profound for a woman to really live the truth of the fact that her breasts are her own.

81. I love that this blog is written by a man that understands the true essence of a woman appreciating all that a woman is, and not what society has portrayed and put expectations on her to be. I also love the fact Andy, that your appreciation has grown through watching your daughters grow into the powerful women they are today without the trappings and sexual abuse that society so readily offers.

82. It is so good to have a man express about breasts from truth, especially because majority of the people, including very much ourselves as women, speak without respect or true care about breasts, seeing them unfortunately as a function or beauty appeal only. What you bring to the front here Andy, how we have to change the tide – we as woman first need to claim back how we hold ourselves as a woman (yes very much with breasts) and not allow any disrespect in our lives. This for sure will change the tide. And also, as you so well said Andy – we need to have a consent in our society of how we talk about women , including all body parts etc. We have all a big responsibility in treating women with respect and absolute care. And for the women to start walking that respect and care ourselves. No need to fight for it – simply walking what you want and deserve in your life – that is : Love & honouring.

83. It is so simple – we are here to claim and live that which we know is true – with this – we need to
    call out that which we have lived that is not any truth at all.

84. Andy I can feel the respect and appreciation you have for the women in your family. Its very touching.

    1. Agreed Debra – and because Andy has this for the women in his family it cannot be helped that it is to share with every woman he meets. This is the beauty of relationships and the reflection on offer to everyone there after.

85. Well-done Andy, this is a topic that needs some airing or exposure and I feel you are ahead of your times, for we all can be involved in nurturing and feeling how sacred our bodies are.

86. One day we will get over our immaturity, piousness and subjugation of the female form and embrace the opportunity to heal that is available in a modality such as the Esoteric Breast massage and the powerful reflection that will emanate when we embrace the beauty of women acting truly female in the tender,sacred preciousness that femininity actually represents.

87. I’m brought to tears every time I read this, because what is undeniable to feel is the depth of connection and dedication that a man has brought to himself and thus to all others. Hurts and separation between men and women, the unspoken walls of separation that we walk around with melt with this article being on the internet – a man’s voice fully claimed and returned to himself, in absolute honour of his brothers – men and women alike.

88. No matter what I have been told it does not matter, the day I felt my breasts were mine and claimed them back was the day I felt my own preciousness in my being and it was not just a fleeting knowing but a constant confirmation. Then all of my body parts begin to be reclaimed one by one, until I began to start to know what it actually feels like to be a whole and unfragmented person. This is what being a woman means.

89. …’the glorious unfoldment of these women from the emotional straitjackets which bound them to the rollercoaster of life…’ – Your writing is so powerful Andy and these words and acknowledgement have completely undone the knots have tied up the beauty in women that is there. Deeply appreciated.

90. Wonderful observations Andy it is so powerful that you share this as a father and husband. Witnessing the blossoming of the woman around you is something to be marvelled and celebrated. It is such an amazing modality that continues to deepen the level of integrity required to be a practitioner, it’s quite unusual in this current world where qualifications and ethics can be bought on the internet for a few dollars. I am enormously appreciative to those that have dedicated there livingness to this support for woman.

91. I look forward to that day Andy when many women hold themselves and their breasts for the purpose they bring. Ohh, I know what you mean about using the word ‘breasts’. I felt how much ‘breasts’ are abused and I’m trying to hold it in as much integrity as I possibly can? I wouldn’t be the extremely sensitive responsible tender man I am today without those women who are claiming back their breasts for all . . I very much appreciate the modality Esoteric Breast Massage.

92. Andy, incredible, powerful and such clear and real message.
    I am a woman, who has been deeply blessed by Esoteric Women’s Health and its modality Esoteric Breast Massage. Simply I opened up my heart.
    So can I say that the below is absolutely true:
    ‘Universal Medicine is the organisation that dared to go there: the one group that despite ridicule and loathing, identified that major disconnection, then answered the call by presenting the modality (the Esoteric Breast Massage) and training the dedicated female practitioners to begin the process of reconnection and reclamation of the essence of femaleness in form.’
    From my own experience I can say : I am now claiming my true right and voice back as a woman – without Universal Medicine I would not have been able to do that. Simply. True. Magnificent.

93. Woman and their bodies are being abused on a prolific scale it is not always the heinous crimes of rape etc, but also the supposedly less obvious comments about breasts, a look in the eye, a gesture, a word, a photo in a magazine, these are abuses of what is naturally feminine. Woman are not here as commodities, possessions, or parts etc, they are here to live free of these impositions and claim for themselves their bodies and share them as they feel is true.

94. I did not realise before coming to the work of Universal Medicine, just how hard and solidified most woman are in today’s society and how our general sense of beauty has in fact been lessened to just being that of what looks great on the outside but not truly full on the inside. A woman is deeply deeply sacred and should be treasured and held as such.

95. Claiming our body for ourselves seems like a such a huge thing, but it is so necessary, it feels bizarre that we don’t do it and yet we do not, so often we are making ourselves into parts to suit others and giving bits of us away to get recognition. Our breasts as woman are owned if we do challenge it with love, by other needs, wants and demands and also how we use them ourselves, we need to claim back our whole body and make it a whole place of true expression.

96. You only need to look up breasts on the internet to get an understanding of how we currently approach the female bosom, the sexualisation arena or the cancer care arena. Universal Medicine has introduced a whole new perspective to Esoteric Women’s Health through modalities such as Breast Massage, there is an honouring, respect and deep nurture towards the female body that i have not seen or witnessed anywhere else.

    1. Lucindag thank your for this comment, that is very true, breasts are sexualised, treated for cancer, or for babies, but Universal Medicine has introduced the truth that the breasts are much more than a physical part of the body, they represent energetically something quite beautiful, a part of ourselves we may have disconnected to as women. Supporting women to reconnect to their breasts is part of a woman reclaiming her whole true self back in full.

97. Awesome blog Andrew Baldwin . and yes …Universal Medicine is the organisation that dared to go there: the one group that despite ridicule and loathing, identified that major disconnection, then answered the call by presenting the modality (the Esoteric Breast Massage) and training the dedicated female practitioners to begin the process of reconnection and reclamation of the essence of femaleness in form.

98. Yup, my breasts after most definitely mine! This hasn’t always been the case, but thanks to Esoteric Breast Massage I have reconnected to this absolute truth.

99. Thank you Andy for this profound teaching and truth. Our breasts ofcourse are ours.. This shows us how we have turned the truth on its head instead of using it where it is meant for – to life by it, to away from it. When we deeply connect we know lies do not exist as a truth but are only trying cover up the one thing that is real – truth.

100. Every woman including myself now has an opportunity to get to know her breasts again or deeper due to the Esoteric Breast Massage modality. Whether we have experienced it or not does not matter, we are all returning to re-claiming more of who we are as women.

101. Every time I revisit this blog I feel the deep honouring you hold for women Andy and your absolute appreciation of the EBM. Many men I know feel threatened by this modality, as it can expose there lack of true intimacy with their partner.

102. what you are of course referring to is the fact that very rarely is a woman met as a woman as she is without being pre-judged on her appearance first and foremost. As a man, it takes a lot of reflection to stop viewing women this way, even if you do not allow it to stop you from seeing a woman as your equal, or from appreciating everything else about her. It is a strong programme and one I am afraid few men are willing to challenge within themselves beyond ensuring that their behaviour is kept in check. But its not about education and changing behaviour, or having good manners. All those things help, for sure, but none of them seek to unravel the illusion that there is this difference in being between men and women, when the truth is if you get beyond the appearances and hormones, the actual being of both sexes is actually the same.

103. We really miss out when we live disconnected to our breasts and as you have shared so well Andy. When we miss out on enjoying the way we feel in our own skin, everyone misses out.

104. You are so right Andy — Universal Medicine dares to go where no one dared go before, for no other reason but an unending love for humanity that is beyond the comprehension of most. Restore a woman back to her divine essence and the world is held within her nurturing gaze. It is the beholding the world sorely needs to heal its pain and start to return back from the reckless road it is currently on.

     The EBM modality frees the woman from the assault the world imposes on her from a very young age as a result of the lies we have all bought into. Lies that will tell every young girl and woman from every angle that her breasts are a functional commodity to give her recognition at best and terminal illness at worst. That her breasts are the external part of her female body to cherish and honour so so deeply in the understanding that it is through her breasts that God’s nurturing love emanates and beholds, is lost in a world that is has lost itself.

     It is this that inspired the call for Universal Medicine to go there and bring this amazing modality through – a modality that honours every woman and every man and child as well.

     1. This is an amazing comment Katerina, I particularly appreciated the wisdom here that breasts are a “functional commodity to give her recognition at best and terminal illness at worst”. It’s such a reduced view not only of breasts but of women. Beautiful words here “it is through her breasts that God’s nurturing love emanates and beholds.”

105. i am so glad you wrote this, I had never thought of it like this, but you are so right- it seems that anyone but the women themselves get to own these breasts for their own needs. Its time this changed.

106. It’s so interesting and very telling that most, if not all of the messages we receive from society about women’s breasts are designed to disconnect women from this most nurturing of centres in our sacred bodies – with the exception of Universal Medicine who support us to understand and reconnect to these qualities within we so naturally bring as women.

107. Andy thank you. Your initial lines on how breasts are viewed and owned shocked me in it’s starkness and yet I know all you speak of and how as women we can be owned by any or many of these. It was only with finding Universal Medicine and the Esoteric Breast Massage that I developed a healthy and deeply appreciative relationship with my breasts, and have learned to drop many of those impositions you capture so clearly here. It’s gorgeous to feel your appreciation here of the women in your life and all of us in what you share here, very, very beautiful.

108. Love this Andy, not only do you stand for truth of women, you beautifully represent what is is to be a true man.

109. Great blog Andy, and a great expose of how everyone else thinks a woman’s breasts belong to them, with no thought of respecting a woman and her body as part of the whole being.

     1. This blog is a must read for everyone as it reminds us all of how we mask the abuse as an accepted norm.

110. So spot on Andy, the world has been so abusive towards women and their breasts and it seems everywhere has tried to own this. What about women, do they get a say? Do they get to feel comfortable in their own skin without feeling like they will be subjected? Or objectified? Really lovely sharing about your daughters, it’s great to see that true relationships can be fostered and not be hindered by shame, holding back intimacy etc as so many are.

111. This is such beautiful piece of writing and you can feel the deep love and respect for everyone that it holds, I love coming back to read it again. This level of respect and honouring of a women’s body is the way forwards, not because women are better but because the only way to truly unite is if we honour and respect everyone equally for the wonders that we each have the potential to bring to life.

112. As a woman I know what it feels like to be disconnected from my breasts and I also know the opposite, that is what it feels like to have connected to my breasts through the support of the Esoteric Breast Massage. The difference is profound in terms of my health and wellbeing.

113. Those that ridicule that which has been put in place to truly support us all, are those who have dug their heels firmly in and refused the help to get us out of the mess we are all in because, as sad as it may well seem, they are getting something out of such a way of living that has us expressing far less than who we truly are. One glimpse at the health statistics of women for breast cancer alone shows us that we have not yet ‘got it’ in terms of looking after women so that they in turn can do what they are designed to do which is to nurture others in the truest sense. We as a humanity are starved of this nurturing quality so it would serve us well to take heed of what is here presented. Thank you Andy Baldwin.

114. How is it that there is not uproar about all the ways in which women’s breasts are imposed upon, treated, looked at or touched inappropriately, not to mention all of the complications and damage that comes from this as a result. And yet when there is something out there that is truly honouring and based on the level of integrity that women deserve – it is questioned far more than the abuse that goes un-exposed and un-questioned…?

     1. Sadly because we have become more used to the expression of abuse than we are used to the expression of love. It has become far easier for us to criticise each other than it is to truly appreciate the depth of who we are. This is an alarming wake-up call as to where it is we stand as a global society and thus why we are so very, very sick on so many levels.

     2. Great question Kylie, this highlights to me how we as a society have normalised the many forms of abuse on our body, especially around women’s breasts. Perhaps many people feel deeply challenged when truth is presented and how it exposes the abuse that is currently accepted as normal.

115. Wow Andy, you are a father of the future. This is what love and honouring of women is.

     1. Absolutely agree. Healing tears flow when I read this blog and feel the depth of honouring from a man that is tragically very rare in the world today. And yet – this is a tender and powerful all to all men and women, for who cannot but melt to what has been so humbly called out here. Every man within has a tenderness that transcends any rational understanding we can think and limit ourselves with. A tenderness that is waiting to be activated by the reflection of he and she who lives it.

116. Andy you are a true role model for all men and a dear friend to all women just by what you have shared which I can feel the absolute sincerity and genuineness in. This is deeply healing for both men and women showing men how to treat women and raising the bar with respect, love and integrity. I really love the last two paragraphs regarding Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, yes they did dare to go there and yes they are absolutely living the future now.

117. When I go through your above list Andy it is no wonder that women who start to claim their breasts for themselves and free themselves from the claims of other people and industries are attacked. That especially women and especially their female organs are occupied and misused should be studied! What lies in the women’s breasts that they are so under abuse and so are never able to present and express their potential. We like to think that we are so evolved and modern – but in fact how far did we come with the true honor of femaleness? Still we have nearly no awareness as a society what the true purpose of women is. Or have we? I guess we must have it, or if not, we would not be able to inhibit the true purpose of femaleness to come out so ‘successfully’.

118. The difference as a woman between living knowing that your breasts are for sex, babies, men, or illness and living knowing that your breasts represent a nurturing centre, is night and day. Thank goodness Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon have been willing to bring the Esoteric Breast Massage to the world. Without it I would not have the incredible gift of living as a woman who accepts me as I am.

119. Great expose Andy on how we allow separation from ourselves and our breasts. The Esoteric Breast Massage is a wonderful modality that has supported me to be much more connected to my soul. It is very much needed in today’s world.

120. Looking at your list, I could feel myself going into a bit of hardness in reaction to that, that I rather quickly abandoned my essence – and I can feel that is the very thing that has been adding to the energy that wants to crush women and what they are here to bring through their body – women stepping away from their sacredness.

121. What you wrote Andy, shows actually that we as a society are so lost that we even do not understand and appreciate what the real gender qualities can bring to our societies. When the breast of a women are not honoured for what they bring, not only to the women but also to all men we fall short on ourselves personally but also as a community as we are missing an important quality that in fact is the core of our human existence.

122. So important what is being shared here.. The first comments are maybe for some more recognizable than the others, but overall we do know that those comments have been made either personal or lived in general and being accepted. Hence, awareness is our key to change and healing. As this blog reveals. We have the capacity to feel what is wrong and how to change it when we connect simply to our heart and feel what humanily is (meant : integrity and respect for humanity).

123. So great to read this blog again, I get so much from the pure wisdom it offers. Do I remember every day the preciousness of me, my body, breasts and how connecting to my inner essence can bring the most exquisite harmony and order to life?

124. You describe the Esoteric Breast Massage as “the process of reconnection and reclamation of the essence of femaleness in form”. Thank you, this is gold and your appreciation of your daughters and their mother is deeply felt.

125. I love that such a powerful piece is written by a man… exposing the constructions around breasts that women are confronted with and the ability to overcome these through the EBMs and wisdom of Universal Medicine… allowing for an unfolding process that leaves woman able to reconnect, nurture and reclaim the beautiful woman they are.

126. Beautiful Andy – such enrichment to read that we are to claim back what is ours ! Our loving divine expression and for surely our whole body in it. Thank you for being so honest about it and saying it as it is.. Love it!

127. This is such a powerful and true observation Andy and one that offers so much for women of all ages to ponder on: “if a woman can be alienated from her very breasts, her divinely endowed centres of the nurturing essence, then she is already far down the path of separation from self”. Sadly most women will not know that they are actually separated from themselves or their breasts, but with the introduction of the amazing Esoteric Breast Massage here is the most wonderful opportunity for them to reconnect to the naturally beautiful woman that they are.

128. This morning I’ve re-read this article and I’m still sobbing feeling the depth of love and respect that simply oozes out of it. It is the lack of this love and respect in so many women’s lives that is then the major pain point, as a woman chooses to see her body as a tool of function for the reward and recognition she seeks, in absence of the love she deeply misses. The breasts become the tickets for that recognition, they are put on show, used and abused. The woman herself is thus putting herself under the deepest form of abuse, no longer in the sacred union with herself she is so naturally meant to be in.
     The reclaiming of a woman’s body, the reclaiming of a woman’s breasts back to the woman is a reclaiming of the divinity held within every woman and her right to embody her Godliness into form. In so doing, love is returned, a vibration we can all feel, be held by and drop into, and we then, all of us, let go, heal and begin to return.

129. Such beauty in your writing Andy. And truth. Just this morning I read a social media post from someone I know who was sharing that 4 of her high school classmates have died from breast cancer and she is herself now in remission from it. She was asking ‘what’s going on?’ and that’s where Serge Benhayon comes along and says it how it is – the energetic truth that a women’s breasts are first and foremost nurturing centres…all other functions and uses are secondary even when done lovingly.

130. ‘it is a joy that confirms that the life soulfully lived can rise up and soar out of the mire of despair that characterizes the ‘veil of tears’. – beautiful, healing and powerful words Andy – Thank you.

131. So powerfully shared Andy. It is the willingness of Universal Medicine to go there and identify the disconnection and as such then offer the modality, Esoteric Breast massage which presents the opportunity for women to reclaim their connection to their breasts, to nurturing their sacredness, that has inspired many, myself included, to choose to feel this disconnection for themselves and then again choose to return to living in a far more honing and empowering way in connection to their essence within.

132. Thank you Andy, it does feel sometimes that our breasts belong to everyone else, but I have learnt that the more I re-connect to my relationship with them the less I feel the imposition of others affect me. I still feel it but I can see that I do not need to take it on.

133. We have allowed the subordination of women because we as a society have not nurtured the fiery flame of love that lives within our heart. Void of true nurturing we are left to wander alone, forever seeking that which we have turned away from. Your words Andy are a call back to that which we have left but in-truth has never left us – our Soul.

134. Surely the best blog ever written by a man on breasts. When it is presented like this with all the many varying ways that society tries to own breasts it is easy to see how many women may not have as strong and secure a relationship with their body as would be healthy. And it is also plain to see how important it is to know intimately their own bodies, particularly the breasts and not feel a need to identify with the insatiable demand of society to fill a certain role. Kudos indeed to Universal Medicine for bravely going there, in spite of the obvious immature reactionary response that is garnered from detractors.

135. Thank you Andy, your words remind me how we can rent parts of our body out, say one bit is better than the next, see the body as an asset we can use in a game to win favour and fame. Whether this is breasts or some other part it all masks over the power of our whole body when it’s used to feel, sense and connect. This way we are with our body, is how we are with each other and all of life. When we trade and measure only the surface we miss the beauty that lives underneath.

136. Geez Andy, this a powerful piece of writing and I can feel the depth of your conviction as you share the truth about your daughters and how a return to connection with our breasts is symbolic of the limitless power within. Soulful living will emancipate humanity.

137. Dared to go there…..it has…..”Universal Medicine is the organisation that dared to go there….”, Go where…simply put my experience has been it has dared to talk about responsibility, in a world that wants to put the responsibility somewhere else….it dares to make things simple when everything around seeks complication. I Love Universal Medicine.

138. Beautiful article Andy, honouring of all women. EBM, “the process of reconnection and reclamation of the essence of femaleness in form.” beautifully expressed, thankyou.

139. I like the humor used to deliver the truth, thanks Andy

140. What an incredible piece of writing Andy, full of an incredible love that every women should have the honor of feeling from a man. Thank you.

141. The relationship women have with their breasts is crucial to the type of relation they have with the world.

142. Your Breasts… My Breasts… Just whose Breasts are those, Anyway? Love this question….it is one that women need to answer and claim more and more. Our breasts are being sexualised and have been for decades, but never more than today, with the impacts of this getting to younger and younger girls. It is so important that we send a message that a women’s breasts are hers “first” and will always be so.

143. Flowing on from a wonderful meeting on Foundational Breasts Care there is so much awareness to be gained in understanding the attitudes around young girls developing breasts that comes from other children, boys and comparing themselves to the development of other girls. It seems like we simply do not prepare children for the beauty that will unfold for them. Honouring the uniqueness of each person is part of this; there is no competition or timeline, no end result. yet school is full of these attitudes and mind sets, so is it any wonder the same thinking gets applied to the development of children’s physical bodies? I honestly can’t say I have direct experience with how small boys consider these things but it doesn’t take much to feel that the sexualizing of bodies plays a big part in this and these are attitudes they would pick-up from very young. What are we teaching children about themselves either directly or indirectly?

144. There are so many demands placed on a women’s breasts, many you have noted here, it is so very important for a woman to claim her breasts for her, her alone. They do not belong to anyone else, never.

145. My body belongs to me no matter which part, but if I look back over the years and tell you about the abuse I have put my body through, you would think that I was crazy! Thank God for Serge Benhayon for sharing how to love our bodies and what that looks like and feels like? After many years the message of how to be tender and nurture my body is slowly creeping in!

     1. We always have a choice – own or be owned. Our task here is to reclaim our bodies back from being used as vessels of pollution and live within them once more, the fiery light of our divine origins.

146. “for if a woman can be alienated from her very breasts, her divinely endowed centres of the nurturing essence, then she is already far down the path of separation from self, with all the abandonment and strife that surely follows.” Such a beautiful words Andy. The woman body is sacred and divine for sure and knowing this it cannot be but treated like this, by the woman herself and other people in her life. Thank you for sharing this so beautifully.

147. The relationship a woman has with her breasts is often a non-existent relationship, but with breast cancer rates at an all time high, perhaps it is time that changes.

148. Just loved reading this blog again, its very inspirational for us women to truly claim the light we bring and with that walk in this world to emanate this light to humanity through our true essence. As this fire emanates, we women will claim back our honour and respect form society.

149. Whoa! Hang on a second…
     I’m a woman and these breasts are mine…

     “Come on lady! Can’t you see there’s a queue? Get in the line.” – This made me smile as it brings the truth of society, but humorously so. I love the sharing from the perspective of a father of 3 women who are absolutely stunning in every way possible – Thank you Andy

150. Thank you Andy, that is well spoken. As is read,so below. We are the fire torchers and when we connect to our inner fire (energetic light from the Soul), we can then life from this light forth and so walk our light as a fire torch is carried through life. Incredible how we are on the road with this by choice, when we choose to lit up and burn our fire from light within. We got a big choice to make, or to delay, whatever way.

151. I love coming back to read this again – the clarity of calling out all the nonsense that goes on around women’s breasts! And the deep honouring and respect of women from which it is said.

152. The truth spoken so simply – “Universal Medicine is the organisation that dared to go there: the one group that despite ridicule and loathing, identified that major disconnection, then answered the call by presenting the modality (the Esoteric Breast Massage) and training the dedicated female practitioners to begin the process of reconnection and reclamation of the essence of femaleness in form.” Thank God for Universal Medicine is all I can say because the Esoteric Breast Massage has supported me so much to connect with myself as a woman and to learn to cherish and love myself deeply.

153. We speak about every aspect to do with our breasts along the way, but rarely do I hear any woman or man for that matter discuss ‘ the nurturing center ‘ our breasts with the understanding that if all women claimed the nurturing, loving aspect there would be a deeper connection to who we are as women, our role as a balance to the men, a reference point for tenderness and fragility, we hold the power and sacredness, that is our essence and our responsibility.

154. Thank you Andy hearing this from a man is very good as they seemingly observe our struggle and (possible) issues. This is why men are less clumsy with eachother as at times there can be a true loving care towards eachother instead of fight. Lets keep it simple as women and feel that “those breasts are mine”

155. As a woman in this life, it has been interesting, when I reflect on how much I have been willing to be open to what being a woman means for me, “…dedicated female practitioners to begin the process of reconnection and reclamation of the essence of femaleness in form.” I am reconnected with what it means for me to be female, a gentleness and tenderness is returning that I am familiar with and yet I know I have not lived it for some time, I have hardened over the years and sought to protect myself, and yet waiting under the layers is femaleness, sacredness, a tenderness, of feeling all, but always knowing of the stillness that is within and all around us.

156. This is a massively confronting list Andy and there is no doubt I found it hard to read. To have been given the opportunity to see myself and my breasts for more than that list has been a true blessing in this life. I am deeply grateful to Serge and to the dedication of the Esoteric Breast Massage practitioners for what they have shared with me.

157. The ‘breast line’ only occurs because women live in separation from their own breasts.

158. Thank you Andy for a really beautiful article, I can feel the love you have for your daughters and your wife and the amazing regard you hold for women in general. I have started having Esoteric Breast Massages on a regular basis lately, which have been so powerful in healing and clearing the hardness that has been held by my rejection of my breasts.

159. “Universal Medicine is the organisation that dared to go there” So true Andy. Serge Benhayon saw the plight of women disconnect from the breasts and tenderly presents that as women our breasts are our nurturing centres to be honoured first and foremost as an essential part of being a woman.

160. I love the idea that we are repairing our relationship to our bodies when we are connecting back to the sacredness of our breasts.As our nurturing centres our breasts are the gateway to our bodies and so this reconnection is essential to truly feel the truth of what our bodies are expressing. A beautiful sharing, Andy.

161. Andy it is an awesome article you have written and shows your deep respect, love and care for women. Thank you for sharing and showing what a real man is.

162. A beautiful confirmation and love for the women in your life and all women in the world. Thank you Andy reading this melted my heart.

163. Just in case any person is unsure whose breasts they are – everyone should read this list. This sort of information should be posted in public where people can be reminded that the human form is to be nourished and honoured. Replacing page 3 with this list would be a brilliant choice.

164. Thank you Andy, I agree and can feel everything you have shared. Would I have found the return to my sacredness, to the holding and nurturing of my body and particularly my breasts if Universal Medicine had not exposed the level of disregard we as women and all of Humanity are living in? Today I am celebrating and appreciating more of me and the outcome of this is that there is more love in action in the world. If all men were to nurture and celebrate the sacredness of the women in their life – wow, they and the world would really be on fire.

165. A song of praise, appreciation and celebration Andy and I felt right there singing along with you. Every woman who reclaims herself makes it a little easier for all women and as you have clearly identified, for all men as well.

166. Thank you Andy for sharing your appreciation here, in fact for every woman and for the pioneering modality Esoteric Breast Massage, Universal Medicine and all its Students of the Livingness and yesI am with you, we are the future now!

167. I’d say everything you have described here Andy is the future now 🙂 I can never get enough of how much absolute respect, love and appreciation you express towards your daughters here.

168. It’s interesting that you make mention of the fact that this pioneering modality will be available to women everywhere UNTIL THE DAY IT IS NO LONGER REQUIRED thereby meaning that there will come a time where girls are raised knowing innately who they are and will know to honour the stillness within.

169. This is beautiful to again read Andy and to feel the joy that can be felt in you in having the women in your life reconnected to their nurturing centres having reclaimed themselves as the powerful women they are.

170. Andy, this is gold – absolute Gold. What you have written here should be our full , everyone’s, future , as one day it will be. It is the essence of us, Our Soul, that let’s us be free from the emprisonment and self-prophet spirit that we drive forth. As by it only takes one relfection of truth to change ones life . . And so this incredible organisation Esoteric Women’s Health , shows by virtue of the Modality Esoteric Breast Massage – a reflection of truth to every women who chooses to have a breast message. And for the men , this equals a session by any other modality by Universal Medicine.. And guess what, it is not only by the modality or session, but the choice within mankind to change themselves – not for something ‘better’, but actually to life in a truthfull way with themselves and another.

171. What are the chances of society being completely different if this was what we were actually taught in health education at school? It most certainly would not be such a foreign concept to me now, in my mid 30’s, And I would have not wasted all those years feeling so self conscious of the things that hang off my chest that I found to be a nuisance for sport and an attraction to those I did not want to attract. Had my relationship with my breasts been better, or if I had any relationship at all with them, I would feel very differently about my body today. Instead I’ve seen them as a separate object to the rest of my body, like a lego piece that I’ve wanted to unclick. Thankfully I’ve been presented with another way, and an opportunity to reconnect to a part of my body that I’ve long neglected.

172. AH-MAZING. For this to come from a man in today’s society, what an absolute blessing you are Andy! Thank you for your deep respect. Whilst I still contemplate my own breasts and what they mean to me, what you’ve written here encourages me to feel more deeply how I have disregarded them, how I’ve completely and utterly neglected them. Thank you.

173. Beautifully written Andy, to read from a man about a woman’s breasts in such a way is a rarity in the world today but a stance that is growing thanks to the work of Universal Medicine and Esoteric Women’s Health. Not only does the Esoteric Breast Massage allow the woman to feel for herself that she is worthy of be treated with a deep level of care and love from herself but that also it is how others can relate to her and the female form equally so. Men don’t have to hide behind the rough, tough, demeaning and disrespectful ways of relating to women or but can equally share a level of tenderness towards themselves and others.

174. It is indeed true that women find it difficult to form a true relationship with this part of their body, given that all that the world imposes upon them. We need to move beyond the juvenile approach of seeing a woman’s breasts as merely a symbol of sexual pleasure and reproductive organ if we are to truly understand what they mean to a woman. And as a society, and especially as men, we need to work on dropping our own impositions and allow women the freedom to explore this question unhindered.

175. Andy – a great blog to revisit and appreciate that a woman’s body is her own and it is our responsibility to claim that in full – for only when we give our power away do we get tarnished with the bush of society owning us rather than ourselves.

176. The honouring of women is up to woman. We teach men how to treat us by the way we treat ourselves and allow and often encourage others to disregard our bodies. By re-connecting with our deeply sacred, delicate and fragile essence and loving, nurturing and appreciating ourselves as women we reflect to the world our true beauty and the level of respect we will accept from others.

177. With the release of foundationalbreastcare.com we finally have a website and organisation dedicated to breast care, and the understanding that breasts are much more than for sex, babies, or a source of illness. There is much to be re-imprinted about what the purpose of breasts is.

178. It is very healing when a father honours, respects and appreciates their daughter/s for who they truly are and how they are unfolding and this is what I felt here. It is incredibly beautifull. They are blessed to have you as a father. It is also a great expose on how the female body, particularly the breasts has been and still is currently perceived. Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine did dare to go there through seeing how so many women are disconnected to their bodies, particularly the breasts, and the rise in breasts cancers. The Esoteric Breasts Massage modality is deeply healing, through having sessions I have reconnected to my breasts, body and relationship with myself as a woman at a far deeper level than I ever would have done. Holding far less protection and hardness towards others around my chest now. This made me really laugh ‘we own the whole woman, who is inferior because god told us so, and he made her out of a spare rib.’ then I realised, this is what has actually been taught!!!!!! Gosh we have a lot of incidious bastardised conciousnesses, ideals and beliefs to undo. I deeply appreciate what you have shared.

179. Ridiculous but true – a woman’s breasts in our society are not really hers, they are first and foremost everybody and everything else’s objects to do with as they please, as you so well describe in your article.

180. Thank you Andy for lovingly highlighting the way we sell out and give away our body like unwanted real estate – it is really devastating to our health. When this pattern becomes ‘normal’ it is what we grow up in, we can forget there is another way. For our body is not just bricks and mortar, a block we carry around but the main instrument we have for us to heal. All we need do is re-learn how to hold and produce harmony with it just like we would a violin.

181. I deeply appreciate what you have expressed here, Andy. It is hard to know which is the chicken or the egg. Has the world not appreciated the sacredness of women and our bodies because we as women have not done this or have we not appreciated our own sacredness because we have never been shown this in a true way.

182. Universal Medicine did dare to go there and release the Esoteric Breast Massage modality. When very few people in the world would even speak about breasts without it being sexual, mothering or illness, here is an organisation who talks about breast care, breast health, and the undeniable fact that breasts are an important part of woman’s body that must be included in the path of health.

183. Cyber abusers routinely lie about anything to do with Universal Medicine- its tiresome and predictable, but nothing they say can take away how awesome I feel as a direct result of everything i feel from my time with universal medicine.

184. As it stands there are a bunch of cyber abusers who are attacking Universal Medicine for any and every lie they can make up, so of course anything with the word “breast” in it has them rolling around on the floor and congratulating themselves for all their sick and ridiculous comments and lies and of course this is also something that appeals to the gutter press. Thank God for Serge Benhayon who had the courage and integrity to bring through Esoteric Breast Massage, a very powerful and much needed modality. A modality that for the record has only ever been practised by highly trained and extremely respectful women and never by Serge or any man.

185. It is so true how you write Universal Medicine “dared to go there”. It is almost impossible to mention breasts without people sniggering and making jokes and innuendos, a very sorry reflection of the state of humanity these days and how disconnected we are from our bodies and in this case our nurturing centres.

186. Super gorgeous Andy – thank you!

187. I have witnessed very directly the absolutely profound effect that the Esoteric Breast Massage has had on women. And would take it further. It has also had a profound effect on me (indirectly – I have never received this massage!) in that through women close to me connecting so much deeper to their innate fragility, strength and nurturing qualities, it has opened the door wide open for me to see and feel so much more of those same qualities and the tenderness that I am.

188. I love what you say about Universal Medicine ‘daring to go there’. No matter what is being thrown at him, not matter whose cage it might rattle, no matter how hard it might be to accept, Serge Benhayon is committed to delivering absolute truth for the sole purpose of supporting humanity in getting out of the deep quagmire in which it is currently drowning.

189. A fabulous blog that says it like it is… A woman’s breasts are her own and a beautiful part of her whole divine body. How far have we strayed from this? Thanks Andy for guiding us back.

190. The depth of honouring that is felt in reading this blog written by a man is striking — sadly a rarity these days. This is the marker though that has been set for us, reading and feeling how Andy has expressed here.

191. This is such a stunning and amazing piece of writing Andy, thank you enormously for all you have said here. An amazing healing for everyone who reads this.

192. Andy it is amazing quite how much tension, emotion etc.. that surrounds breasts. Yet they are a deeply sacred part of a woman’s body. Somehow they have been turned into this men’s fantasy and women’s want to be perfect. I have loved how my wife has benefited hugely from the Esoteric Womens Breast Massages – she has not only started to love her breasts but has also developed into the glorious woman she is today.

193. Well said Andy. Spoken with the utmost of respect and honoring truth, that only a loving man can. A tribute to the mother of his children, the love and appreciation for his gorgeous daughters. And half of the population of this world. Thank you Andy.

194. Thank you for sharing your appreciation and joy at witnessing the women in your life claim back their femininity and breasts through the support of the Esoteric Breast Massage modality and committing to reconnecting to their true essence. This is so inspiring for the majority of women who are faced with all the pressures that you list as well as the self-imposed pressure of trying to live up to some outside unattainable ideal of how a woman should be. EBMs have supported me to trust that the answers are within and the more I connect to my breasts the more I am supported to develop a relationship with them and explore what it truly means to live as a woman today.

195. Andrew I could feel the love you have for your wife and daughters, it just spilled off the screen. And from that love and honouring you have for them (and for women), you can see so clearly what is in the world that is so dishonouring of women. When we return to love and honour (of ourselves and others) we can see much more clearly what is not – and with strength – call it out.

196. This is seriously highlighting and exposing the way we are currently living. How harming is it for a women to be brought up in a world that holds all these expectations and judgments on her breasts. Your blog Andrew shouts loud and clear that the way society is currently imposing on women is deeply harming, it is so harming in fact that many of us ignore the obvious, feeling it is too painful to go there. What your three daughters and wife did was go there and in doing so broke the mould inspiring and showing all women there is another way, another way that is not owned by energy imposed by others.

197. This is a great in your face blog Andrew. Over the years I have come to the conclusion that the objectification of the woman’s breast is somewhat akin to the comfort ‘blankie; or dummy that a small child is obsessed by due to the fact that it is the very first comfort that is on offer to an incoming spirit to this plane of life . . . or alternatively if bottle fed the breasts become the fantasy of the ultimate comfort denied. Therefore is it possible that this ongoing obsession and ownership of a woman’s breasts has something to do with not wanting to grow up and face our responsibilities in the world?

198. The subject of women’s breasts has been a fascination for men for a long time. I love that this blog takes it back to the fact that a woman’s breasts are her own and not anyone else’s. The fact that they have been made into sexual objects is something that we all need to address because it is ridiculous to objectify any part of the human body. Imagine if we decided that the liver was the new sexy? Seriously, what are we allowing?

199. Most humorously and straight to the point described how we use and misuse breast. It is interesting how much we think we own things, even other people or people’s body parts. With that however we very much miss out on the beauty and wisdom that is there in every moment of life and in every person there is.

200. Great blog Andy, hopefully the whole world will get to read your blog!

201. Thank you Andy, I was touched by the deep consideration and care for all women that you show here. And thank goodness indeed that Universal Medicine has brought through the Esoteric Breast Massage, with the utmost integrity that they hold in all they offer.

202. Andy – what you share is so beautiful coming from a father of three women who you now see really appreciate themselves through the esoteric breast massage. I too have really felt this to support me to connect to who I am as a woman, and in turn, appreciate every part of me and start to appreciate other women as well.

203. Since receiving Esoteric Breast Massages I have learned my breast are indeed mine, and not only that they represent the woman I am without question. Perhaps a strange comment, but the experience of the EBM is unique and leaves many women feeling more of the woman they are.

204. Great article Andy and very powerful. How far we women have gone from living the truth and claiming ourselves. When we women start to claim who we are as women, by starting to self respect and honour ourselves only then can there be a change for others to do the same. As long as we allow it, it will just carry on.

205. Cool article Andy, and a great point you have raised – just how much have women’s bodies been objectified, used and abused, and taken advantage of in every way…and for what reason ? And how do we bring back true honouring and respect for women? It starts with women bringing that honour and respect to themselves and for every parent to bring this to their children so they grow up knowing who they are in full – and then they would know and be able to choose never to allow any form of disrespect towards them as a woman. wouldn’t that change a few things in our world!

206. ‘This pioneering modality will one day be available to women everywhere, until such day as it is no longer required.’ So true what you say here about esoteric breast massage. Currently it is the only modality available that truly supports women to find their way back to an appreciation and knowing of their ‘nurturing essence’. Bring on the day when it is no longer needed as that will mean women are no longer living in separation from their true selves and their breasts will no longer be considered mere objects of function or disease.

207. Thank you too for going there Andy and calling out what is at play around, underneath and with women’s breasts. You have given clear examples that offer everyone reading this an opportunity to ponder on what they have chosen and allowed and been a part of. I would also add another one how some mothers can impose where they have given up on owning their breasts onto their daughters when their breasts are starting to blossom. Or the boys and even other girls at school that feel it is okay to tease girls at this stage of growing because of the disregard they see from men and women around them.

208. Wow Andy, this is a real wake up call to both men and women alike bringing how we look at breasts and women into the 21st century. I have also seen great changes in the women I know, as they reconnect with themselves through the help of The EBM.

209. Do we really own our body, or do we let sections out to rent, to lease, and let other parts just lay dormant derelict? If there was a survey of your body just like land, what would your report say? Are you a resident and occupier of each square foot, or are you a temporary tourist momentarily visiting this destination every other day? Thank you Andy for making us aware of the deeper way to truly love ourselves and reclaim our body.

     1. Wow great questions Joseph! There is so much here to look at and ponder. Could we say that we even rent out our legs or arms to sports selectors to prove ourselves too or at the whim of our lack of self worth? Lease out parts of our bodies to be grouped and ogled at, because we haven’t claiming them as precious. Becoming aware of all the little pockets that we leave dormant supports reclaiming our whole body. It lets go of blame because we are then seeing that we have not chosen to take up residence in parts of our bodies. So if someone was to go that part of your body is mine, instead of reacting about the other person, we could ask the question ‘well how do I feel or am with that part?’.

     2. Thank you Joseph for your view on life and our bodies and I can tell you that I prefer to be a resident occupier of every cubic inch of my body and will get rid of the tourist that carelessly is wondering around.

210. The world needs to wake up to the fact that a woman’s breasts are her own and do not belong to all and sundry.

211. Just love this powerful article Andy Baldwin. A must read for everyone . Thank you!

212. The appreciation for the women in your life, Universal Medicine and the Esoteric Breast Massage modality is tangible Andy. It’s not often the easiest path to take to re-claim ones breasts and divinity but that is due to as you’ve so brilliantly mentioned it as a ‘mire of despair’. The despair of having chosen to separate from ourselves can at times appear so thick and yet Universal Medicine is there for the whole journey, sharing that it is all one big illusion and that our choices are more powerful than the world would have us believe, entertain and much less claim and live.

213. All women have a preciousness, a sacredness that dwells deep within us all equally. Claiming our breasts and bodies back as our own is the first step to reconnecting back to this sacredness and from there we are back onto the pathway of truth and unfoldment of our true livingness and grace as a woman. Great blog Andrew.

214. Speaking as one of Andy’s daughters, I am so moved by this blog and appreciative of what he has shared about the vast changes he has observed happen to all the woman in his life.

     I would like to share a snippet of my experience of Esoteric Breast Massage and the support it has offered me over the years.
     Only three months after having my first child, I fell pregnant again, I was very badly sleep deprived, anxious and run down (as you can imagine) plus did not know I was pregnant again!
     My hand was held through all of this by EBM practitioners, including recovering and being treated for painful mastitis when I was breast feeding. The EBMs helped me to experience breast feeding and actually enjoy sharing this with my baby, even though it brought up enormous stuff for me. These incredible women offered me endless council on parenting and self care and the importance of not losing myself in mothering. This helped me see that it was okay to give a baby a bottle to take care of my health and that I had not failed in doing this.

     The very professional modality is only ever performed by woman that are highly trained, as Andrew highlights in this blog, even though some irresponsible media publications have claimed otherwise.

     EBM’s have changed my relationship with my cycles and ovulation, through this awareness my periods have improved immensely. Now realising that they are not random but that we can live in a certain way, that alters the quality of our periods, even the time of the month they arrive!! Now even though I work super long hours my period actually lands consistently on my days off work and I enjoy the down time it brings. No pain, just a great clearing out and moment of repose to regroup.

     Esoteric Woman’s Health also brought me back to loving my body, I now love what I see when I look in the mirror, I think whoa, I am beautiful.

     I can say confidently that these breasts are now mine!!
     Thanks Dad for being aware and brave enough to publicly support this very worthy misunderstood modality that is needed greatly in our society!!

215. Always a joy to return to your sharing with us Andy. I sit here in deep appreciation for the fact that Universal Medicine did ‘dare go there’ and bring about this amazing healing modality the Esoteric Breast Massage. Its so true to say after receiving treatments my relationship with my body has completely changed, as has my life. From self neglect to self nurturing – even after the very first session a flickering light became a lot brighter.

216. This is one amazing article and I can attest to the truth of this statement “….for if a woman can be alienated from her very breasts, her divinely endowed centres of the nurturing essence, then she is already far down the path of separation from self, with all the abandonment and strife that surely follows…” From my late teens to my early 30s I had a terrible relationship with my breasts and this was a reflection of the relationship I had with myself. The support offered by Esoteric Breast Massage has enabled me to turn this around completely. This modality is greatly needed.

217. I love the claiming back of the true purpose of breasts in this blog and it is even better that it is being done by a man!.

218. Your words here made me stop and consider Andy just how a part or aspect of the body can become so separate from who we actually are. I love the tender way you shared your appreciation for the women in your life, and how the way they nurture and care for their whole self is what is truly deeply felt. This situation of breasts being a trading stock, weapon or commodity is a telling indicator of how we have focussed for so long on the outer parts and ignored our inner beauty.

     1. Beautifully said Joseph. A women’s breasts are not objects or merchandise that can be sold traded or depreciated in any way. For far too long we have separated women into parts by comparing, rating and becoming overly focused on ‘the outer parts and ignored our inner beauty’. In doing this we have also totally ignored and underestimated the inner beauty and tenderness of men too. What a cruel game we have all been playing.

219. Andy your sharing feels so powerful yet gentle at the same time and to read and feel a man expressing so clearly, openly as you have is so inspirational and a joy. Thank you.

220. Thank you Andy for offering a profound healing for us all.

     There is so much to appreciate about Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon not least for bringing through the Esoteric Breast Massage which is assisting women to reclaim their breasts and themselves in full (self included).

221. A man with true respect for women – I never get tired of this blog.

222. Such a beautiful, interesting and enjoyable read Andy. The message you present is so powerful and a gift for, not only the female readers, but for all.
     What a truely gorgeous and inspirational father you are.
     I love and totally concur with your last sentence;
     “Serge Benhayon, his family, the Way of the Livingness, and the Students one and all, you are the pointers to the future, for you are the future now”.

223. Great blog Andy – not only do you clearly show the sense behind the Esoteric Breast Massage but with such understanding and sensitivity. I have to admit I was surprised when I read the words ‘I write now, as the father…’ as was expecting the author to be a woman. Awesome that you are sharing your understanding of this issue and showing the way for men to be aware and truly feel what women have been subjected to.

224. Such an amazing blog to be written by clearly an amazing man. As a woman who is at the beginning of the process of reclaiming my breasts as my own, I can relate so much to what you have said Andy. It is strange how one can feel so disconnected from such an essential part of the body, yet the more I feel them, the more I realise how much I wasn’t owning them. But through the amazing modality of the breast massage, which has showed me a feeling of being nurtured and respected in a way that I have never felt before, the relationship between me and breasts is growing, as I unfold into the woman that I truly am.

225. So profund, I felt to cherish these words amongst two inverted commas ” for if a woman can be alienated from her very breasts, her divinely endowed centres of the nurturing essence, then she is already far down the path of separation from self, ” I have found this to be true in my life, having an EBM brought me to feel strikingly and yet loving how far away I was from being connected with my own body. And I chose to begin a path of return.

226. Woohoo..I am rising up, words of such grace “… it is a joy that confirms that the life soulfully lived can rise up and soar out of the mire of despair that characterises the ‘veil of tears’.” I have felt joy, a pure unadulterated joy of true connection, appreciation and purpose, and it is known through my body. that we are divine and soul-full beings.

227. 
     Andy you have nailed this sharing from realistically pointing out how it is in society in general in regards to breasts. I have to admit the list made me cringe . . . And then you finely described the beauty of your three daughters and their mother from the inside. What an inspiring family! Esoteric Breast Massage is a blessing. Thank you to Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon for living the future now so we can also do the same.

228. The Esoteric Breast Massage is indeed is a revolutionary modality that is transforming women’s lives world wide. Not only does it support the women them selves but also their partners , kids and all those the come into relationship with them that are open to the reflection they are receiving from the woman.

229. This is a great blog and so refreshing to hear a man speak so honoring of women’s breasts and with such understanding of women… so powerful and healing for women to know that this is the type of dialogue we can engage in with a man, as often we put up with less.

230. Its brilliant the way you show Andy how our body becomes divided up against us when we see it all as separate bits. Then the battle begins to possess or own bits that we decide are greater. How ironic and fitting, that a woman’s breasts truly symbolise the nurturing qualities we all can bring when we live life as one joined up totality.

231. I so enjoyed reading this blog again Andy. “for if a woman can be alienated from her very breasts, her divinely endowed centres of the nurturing essence, then she is already far down the path of separation from self,” sad yet true. Re-claiming herself as a woman starts with connecting back with all the individualised parts, the breasts being one of those parts. The Esoteric Breast Massage is an awesome support for all women in connecting them once again to their sacredness.

232. Reading this beautiful blog I could feel how much attention there is around breasts and so many people, businesses, media and more all have their part in it, but yes what about me the woman myself? I can feel how this turmoil around breasts definitely affected my relationship with my breasts, simply reading this feels very healing, thank you Andy.

233. This is a brilliant blog Andy, and would be so beneficial for teenagers to read this.

234. Reading this again today I feel such power and love and a huge appreciation for Universal Medicine. The amazing modality that is Esoteric Breast Massage continues to support the unfoldment of us as true women in a world that has all but forgotten what that is and what it feels like.

235. A great conversation and that it is written by a man who understands – We choose who can touch, and how they are to be touched and treated.

     1. Truly a conversation we must have Nicole.
        How about “We choose who can touch, and how WE are to be touched and treated”?

236. “This pioneering modality will one day be available to women everywhere, until such day as it is no longer required.” Andy thank-you for sharing the miracle of esoteric breast massage, indeed stillness returns us all and as you say one day this will simply be our lived expression here on earth.

237. A powerful, much needed statement of truth made even more so by the fact it is written by a man. The Esoteric Breast Massage modality is indeed pioneering, in the sense that it addresses ‘the process of reconnection and reclamation of the essence of femaleness in form’, away from the limiting association of breasts with fashion, function, sex and disease, to the essential role breasts have in a woman’s reconnection to her abiding worth.

238. It is so beautiful to read such a statement from a father of 3 girls. I deeply appreciate that! Your girls are truly lucky to have you as a father in their lives- a person that really sees them and is open to reflect his life and his choices and as a result can read the world and what goes wrong in it.

239. Wow, reading you blog Andy I felt this powerful, honest and direct hit – of true love. No mincing of words, only the truth being said without any apologies for exposing what needed to be exposed. The clear and deeply felt valuing of women, of your daughters and its delivery is a Blessing – a healing for us all. Thank you.

     1. I agree this blog is a marker for us to expect this level value of women that Andy expresses for his daughters and wife … we all deserve this.

240. When you list them out like this Andy, wow – how many ways ideologies and beliefs try to own our bodies if we let them. It’s inspiring to see with the support of Esoteric Breast Massage modality so many women claiming their body and self-care back. To see past the ideas of what women’s breasts have come to mean for men in our society and connect back and admire their true meaning as you do is also beautiful to see.

241. Andy in revisiting this Blog, I am blown away by your openness and depth of honouring you have for you family. Your love for your family is absolutely beautiful and healing for me to read. Thank you for sharing your perspective on this very important topic of Breast in such a clean and loving way. There are many women out there who would benefit from hearing a man speak so openly about love, respect and breast.

242. Thank you Andy. This is a beautiful blog that is very honouring of every woman. It demystifies the Esoteric Breast Massage and shows how important it is and this is very powerful as it is written by a father of 3 daughters who has witnessed his 3 daughters re-claim their own bodies and lives back with the support of the Esoteric Breast Massage.

243. Andy your blog is inspiring. It is abslolutely shocking to realise how much we women have ‘put up with’ simply because we have breasts. As you say it is because of the outstanding work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine that women all over the world are now beginning to deeply appreciate themselves and their bodies, as a result of the Esoteric Breast Massage modality. The way you have honoured your wife and daughters is absolutely beautiful and is a testament to them and yourself and the commitment you have all made to live your lives in a way that is so deeply honouring of each other.

244. I have been meaning to start a series of Esoteric Breast Massage (EBM) sessions with one of the highly trained and integral female practitioners – this blog is now the motivator to stop thinking about this course of healing and put it into action. I know the importance of my breasts and am very much looking forward to reclaiming a relationship with the power and essence they hold.

     1. It will be the BEST thing you ever do!

     2. The Esoteric Breast Massage is primarily a lymphatic and heart massage which includes the breast tissue itself. Anything ill we think of ourselves through out our life is stored in our breasts, as well, all the ways we have treated ourselves. If we have been a ‘doer’ all our life and have pushed through, not stopping when our body was obviously tired then this energy of disregard is also held in the breasts. The purpose of the EBM is to support women to re- connected with their breasts as well as their body and develop a relationship with both and to be able to let go of any imprints stored in the breasts so they can return to their natural nurturing energy.

245. Wow Andy! For you to have more understanding, appreciation and empowerment for women’s breasts than most women do (including myself) says something big is missing from society. We as a humanity are missing out big time with women not being in connection to their innate nurturing centres. We ourselves use and abuse them and see them off to companies for marketing and such – like you have detailed here Andy.
     Much healing is to be done and YES Universal Medicine is stepping out of comfort and the ‘norm’ of how we see our bodies and presenting another way.

246. The appreciation and understanding you share concerning the women in your family and all women is awesome to feel and read “To be graced to witness the glorious unfoldment of these women from the emotional straitjackets which bound them to the rollercoaster of life as we knew it, has provided a joy that I had forgotten I was capable of feeling: it is a joy that confirms that the life soulfully lived can rise up and soar out of the mire of despair that characterises the ‘veil of tears’.” It is so powerful to read these words written by a man. I can say for me that my reconnection with my breasts and my body has deeply healed and empowered my relationship with myself. I live with care and love, I no longer seek self sabotage and pain in life.

247. Andy it took me more than a moment to come back to my breathing in horror of what is felt from the truth you have presented in the opening of this blog. As women with a woman’s body we feel all of the abuse and disrespect expressed towards our gender and body parts, and as women, we also have allowed ourselves to first live this abuse and disrespect towards ourselves, and none of that feels true to the deeply precious and beautiful human beings that we are. This far stretch from truth is what is horrifying to feel, but how far we have come to actually feel this and to express back to truth and to just live it.

248. Your words clearly show here the beliefs around women’s breast and I would say for the greater part women are also buying into this perception of what breasts are for – is it any wonder we do not see the value in having breasts. It is so easy to see why breasts are seen as objects and have no use other than to breast feed and have the potential to get cancer, which is something we fear.
     I used to be one of those women who would ignore her breasts and only check now and again to see if any lumps had appeared, but since having some Esoteric Breast Massage treatments I have a whole new relationship with my breasts, a relationship which is continuing to grow.
     I also would like to say that I could feel how you celebrate the women in your life, as it comes through in your words. Thank you.

249. It’s amazing how many possessions society has placed on women’s breasts. If that isn’t enough society also has names for our breasts like boobs and others I don’t wish to write. It’s very easy to disconnect from your breasts when they are seen as objects and so women confirm the disillusioned by using them as sex objects or a form of recognition and this begins at a very young age. Thankfully Universal Medicine offers a modality that allows women to reconnect with their breasts. It’s a beautiful tender modality that reveals so much for the woman.

250. Andy, you have so eloquently described what we as women feel about our breasts and also what we have given over or brought into as well. It is with great respect and love that i have began reconnecting with my breasts and the essence they hold, thanks very much to the esoteric breast massage and modalities.

     1. I agree Raegancairney, I was so disconnected from my breasts, only ever viewing them as objects or for sex and a tool for attraction. Its been so healing for me to begin that process of reconnecting back to my breast through the Esoteric Breast Massage. The warmth I now feel with my breasts expands throughout my whole body, and makes a big difference to all of my male and female relationships. Its a feeling that is rejuvenating and allows me to be so much more open with everyone. Very, very beautiful.

        1. Yes Donna, I totally agree with what you say. I too had no connection to my breasts whatsoever until I experienced the Esoteric Breast Massage. This was a massive revelation for me, as I too had only ever seen my breasts as a part of my body that were for sex or feeding my babies. I would keep them well covered and would often wear loose and baggy clothes so as not to draw attention to them. Thanks to this amazing modality, I now have a connection with my breasts that feels gorgeous, and that feeling then emanates throughout my body and beyond, enabling much more loving and deepening relationships with everyone I meet.

251. Such a great blog Andy, thank you. Whilst you made me smile, I also grimaced at the truth of what you have shared, how we have somewhat allowed and handed over our breasts as women to everyone else. It is time to reclaim them and in turn reclaim the woman that I am.

252. Andy, thank you for exposing what is imposed on women in relation to their breasts, as well as the disconnection women generally have to their breasts. Before I came to Universal Medicine I had no idea that my breasts held my nurturing essence, to me they had become just a functional part of my body for breastfeeding. Now I am re-connecting to self-nurturing and love for myself as a woman, and am ever grateful to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.

253. Well said Andy thank you for this honest appraisal of just whose in fact these breasts are. Even as women I know for myself and so many I know, our breasts purpose were not understood by us, reflective of how little care we held for ourselves. Today I do know them as the nurturing centres they are, thanks to the wisdom shared and presented by Universal Medicine.

254. Your shared words today Andy really resonated within me. What a beautiful gift to all women the introduction of the healing modality Esoteric Breast Massage. So supportive, healing and for me introduced self care and real self worth back into my life.

255. Such wisdom Andy your words are truly healing. You have exposed the energetics behind what is really going on with women’s breasts and how for eons now they have been used as anything other then divine. The Esoteric Breast Massage is indeed a pioneering modality that offers women the opportunity to reclaim her breasts as her own.

     1. Indeed Samanthaengland – I feel as though I’ve just had an Esoteric Breast Massage session from reading the intimate and wise words of Andy’s blog. For a man and father to speak out about the issue women face in being disconnected from there own bodies is absolutely a game changer.

256. Thank you so much Andy for your beautiful blog. Your lovely words touched me and I wished my father would have said such words to me. It filled my heart with joy to know that I am now, through Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, on my way back to this sacred place which resides in me. Before I was not aware that this place even existed!

257. Serge Benhayon has long presented about how we have separated from our true selves, and you show us Andy how this choice plays out on an energetic level. How powerful that women and all people are starting to claim back their whole body. Gorgeous to read this observation and deep appreciation from another tender man.

258. Such a tender loving blog, it made me teary as I felt the love in your words. How magnificent is it that we have true support with Universal Medicine Therapies offering a way back for women to re-claim their breasts and their truly emanating quality – this is a gift for all.

259. Andy it is very powerful and healing for me as a woman to read this from a mans perspective. Society has our breasts belonging to everyone one else but to the women they actually belong to. It is only through the modality of the Esoteric Breast Massage that women are now claiming their breast back and with that self care and self worth.

260. Men, me included, have lazed women and their breasts with so much burdening, denigrating and dismissive stuff that it is long overdue to not only bring awareness and hence change to those who are guilty of doing so, but also to offer women a truly supportive, deeply healing and utmost appreciative healing modality that empowers them to heal and restore themselves as the gorgeous women that they innately are – and so does the Esoteric Breast Massage!

     1. Alex it is so beautiful to hear a man speak the way you do – in love and support of women healing and returning to their innate expression. Thank you for sharing. I had at one point given up on men ever knowing, truly, what women go through so your words are like silk, gracing us all.

     2. It is so healing to read such a statement like yours as a woman. If men take responsibility of the energy they used whilst being in contact with breasts it is really a glorious feeling. Thank you Alex, you are a true role model for men who respect themselves and women equally.

     3. Alex, thankyou for your beautiful words. Women are so often the ‘butt’ of a man’s comment or joke about their bodies, and it is so deeply hurtful and can and does scar a woman for life. To read you comment is so very healing, and to know that men such as yourself are paving a new way for men to tenderly support women to come back to themselves through this incredible modality of the Esoteric Breast Massage.

        1. Yes it is a beautiful thing to read a man – both Alex and this stunning blog by Andy -truly supporting the return for women to their innate divine ways and to recognise that men (and women) have played their role in keeping women away from this essence.

     4. Beautiful Alex, men feeling and appreciating women for their true sacredness and innate precious qualities not only empowers women but equally supports men to appreciate themselves and their own power, tenderness and grace. How much more effective would true appreciation go to disintegrating the battle of the sexes and to dispel the illusion that both men and womens innate qualities do not inherently complement each other.

        1. Appreciation between men and women is the antidote to rejection and lack of self-worth, the two key hurts that keep us caught in emotional dynamics and avoidance of intimacy.

261. Andy what you write here is gold and so ludicrous at the same time, being that everything you point out is so how it is but we all go around ignoring the fact. Indeed the introduction of the Esoteric Breast Massage will and has changed the tide in how one considers and treats this sacred part of their body.

262. Thank you Andy, It is so beautiful to read, that as a father and husband, the love and honouring you have for your daughters and wife and all women in general. They all are indeed beautiful. Your deep love and respect brought tears to my eyes.

263. Andy, I expected a woman’s name under this blog.. and the first sentence of the postscript I had to read 3 times.. And it made me cry, it made me cry that you have named the pain and the hurt we carry as women, in such a respectful and beautiful piece of writing as a man. Thank you for honoring us, thank you for the gorgeous father and husband you are. And yes it is true: EBM ‘This pioneering modality will one day be available to women everywhere, until such day as it is no longer required.’

264. I have just reread this for maybe the 5th or 6th time. It is one of my favourite pieces of writing. Not only does it capture the variety of ‘uses’ breasts are known for… and the fact that they are actually a womans… but the way you speak of your daughters and your wife, the respect, care and love you have for them is so deeply touching.

     1. I so agree Brooke. To hear a man speak with this level of deep tenderness and love for his family and all woman is very heartfelt and touching.

265. Andy, this is an awesome blog. Thank you for observing, respecting, appreciating and encouraging women to reclaim their true beauty and power in full. Thank you for so clearly exposing the various ways women can fall prey to the outside drive for ownership of women’s breasts. And thank you for pointing out that in connecting back to our nurturing centres and claiming them as truly our own, experiencing ourselves as whole women, we have the opportunity to not only heal ourselves but share our radiance with all those we come in contact with. And most of all, thank you for doing this form the perspective of a father, husband, son, uncle, friend, colleague and true man.

266. With many women having experienced the health benefits of an Esoteric Breast Massage, it demonstrates what a vital modality this is for all women. For this pioneering modality to be available to women everywhere, would be the cornerstone for change in women health and consequently, a pivotal and historic shift in the whole public health system. Women’s health is most definitely a determinant in the health and welfare of family and communities, so true health improvement for a woman is true health for a community.

267. “This pioneering modality will one day be available to women everywhere, until such day as it is no longer required.” What a wonderful statement about the possibility of what our future will bring. As you say Andy, our future is here now with this life changing modality that is the Esoteric Breast
     Massage.

268. Wow Andy, this is a powerful blog. To list the industries who pose a claim on breasts is incredible when you list it like that. It just shows how much ‘stuff’ there is around women’s breasts that can have impact unconsciously on women that come between her and her sense of self, connection of being woman.

269. Andy thank you for this powerful blog – your expressed respect and acknowledgement of women is very touching and empowering. It feels truly amazing to hear a man speak this way.

270. Andy, I gained so much insight on so many different levels reading this blog. Your expression is extremely powerful and absolutely exquisite. The exquisiteness I wish to express is the dawning of a realisation that I have never heard in this lifetime a man speak with so much awareness, tenderness, respect and understanding of a woman and her breasts – more so than I have attained for myself. To have a man bring this deeper awareness to me has taught me so much and made me realise I still have trust issues with men. Enormous Andy – you are divine. Thank you and with love.

271. Thank you Andy, this is indeed a ‘pioneering modality that will one day be available to women everywhere’ The EBM offers the very foundation of true Breast Care where caring for our breasts is encompassing of the whole woman and a way to re-connect back to the inner qualities that allow us to be all of who we truly are.

272. It is no wonder that Serge Benhayon gets let down by those who choose to stay in illusion. If you are in illusion – who would you most like to bring down? – The very one who offers the truth! And the truth is, what is being offered by Serge, as he delivered the modality of Esoteric Breast Massage, and other modalities, books, talks and his very every day way of being.

273. Andy, Thank you so much for your voice on this subject. You inspire me to express and claim my own breasts. I feel how foolish I have been going about this subject and how I have let the world live and own my breasts – literally. Wow! Big sneeze while typing this! I am really up front in the que, actually I am first in line. It is my turn – they are mine – they are my breasts.

274. This is so powerful to read, “it is a joy that confirms that the life soulfully lived can rise up and soar out of the mire of despair that characterizes the ‘veil of tears’.” The understanding and appreciation that you express is healing. Through reading this I appreciate once more, that I have been ‘soaring’, I feel a confirmation of the quality expansion and lightness that I live everyday, more and more through connecting once again with my body.

275. Very powerfully written Andy and showing that not all men see women as objects or reduce them into bodyparts.

276. Thanks Andy, re-reading this blog again I can feel the deep appreciation and respect you have for women in general.
     Thank God for Serge Benhayon for introducing the Esoteric Breast Massage and the true support that it offers women to be the amazingness that they are.

277. Andy, I love reading this blog. It is the advertisement for EBMs and written by a man.

278. Just beautifully written Andy… To read a father speak in such tenderly, respectful and loving appreciation of his daughters and wife as the amazing women they are, brought a tear to my eye. Gorgeous and powerful.

279. This blog makes a really amazing point: there is a war around breasts. This makes life very difficult for women and almost guarantees that they will not nurture themselves and so they may not help humanity to restore balance between stillness and action. We cannot be thankful enough to Universal Medicine which has released the Esoteric Breast Massage for women.

280. Andy, How could I not have discovered this amazing and insightful blog before? As you say “if a woman can be alienated from her very breasts, her divinely endowed centres of the nurturing essence, then she is already far down the path of separation from self, with all the abandonment and strife that surely follows”, as it did in my case and with many others. Fortunately as did your daughters, I came across the teachings of Universal Medicine and had many Esoteric Breast Massages which supported me to unfold ‘from the emotional straitjacket’ which bound me to the rollercoaster of life. Like you, I have discovered a joy that I had forgotten; a joy as you say, ‘confirms that the life soulfully lived can rise up and soar out of the mire of despair’.

281. Andy the respect and love you have for your daughters and wife’s breasts and for them in general is beautiful and it is so inspiring to hear you express it openly in this blog. It is not common to read a blog by a man who is so honouring of women. Thank you.

282. Exactly Andy. A woman’s body is her own. There has been So much dis-graceful behaviour in society relating to this.

283. They are God’s breasts.

284. Wow Andy, you have shown us how many of us do not own our breasts or our bodies as women, for so many reasons. Thank God (literally) that Serge Benhayon cares so much for men and women to teach the profound modality Esoteric Breasts Massage.

285. Thank you Andy, for this very open statement about the Esoteric Breast Massage, and women’s relationships with their breasts. It is indeed a very important relationship and one that is yet to be fully appreciated and explored widely in terms of what this relationship means and impacts for women today. You opening up this discussion is a beautiful point of reflection, for many women and men alike.

     1. I like that Amelia Stephens, we can say that as women we are indeed not connected to our breast generally speaking, I love how this open statement is shared. If a man , as you can Andy, can feel this, this tells us then a lot about how we actually cover it up as women. We are craving to be in connection with ourselves, and we definitely feel that our breasts are there to be loved, honored and nurtured. I love how we are speaking and discussing this beautiful point, as this opens up the possibility to come back to our absolute connection to ourselves and breasts again.

        1. Connection to our breasts is indeed a foreign concept by and large! How awesome that this can be a natural way of living – it makes complete sense. Why would we connect to one part of our body and not another?

        2. I was just feeling the same yesterday. Why would we not love any part of us? As it is us and we actually have our own shape, form and treasure of body:)

286. It sounds silly but if we don’t claim what is ours as ours, others are only too happy to claim it for themselves. This is very obvious in the case women’s breasts but the key point may be that we need to claim it ourselves. All these industries and organisations rely on us letting them make and enforce their claims.

     1. Claiming ourselves by taking responsibility will change the game: from chess pieces on our game board of live to the amazing, powerful and free wonders that we all are.

        1. Beautiful comment michaelkremer2212. Like Christoph also said it is all about claiming ourselves and also taking responsibility for what happens if we don’t.

     2. You make a really great point Christoph – it’s true, it’s our responsibility to claim what is ours and not expect another to do it for us or as you say we then leave an opening for them to claim it for themselves.

287. Andy, what an awesome presentation on love and respect for women. I can feel the love and tenderness you have for your wife and daughters as you describe what they have had to cope with on their journey to womanhood. Great sharing.

     1. I agree Anne. You can really feel the respect Andy has for the women in his life and in the world for that matter. It makes so much sense when he lays out the absurdity of how the world treat women and their breast.

        1. Its quite powerful that these deeply respectful writings and conversations are being had by men in honour of woman and their breasts. There is not an ounce of sleaziness, just pure appreciation and respect. I am very blessed to have Andrew as my father and to know so many men of this caliber, as Universal Medicine seems infectious with its deep care for woman and people.

        2. Its it true Sarah, I would have to say the respect for me was tokenistic compared to what I have come to understand respect to be through my involvement with Universal Medicine

        3. Universal Medicine truly is starting a quite revolution, to educate and empower the opposite sex about how important and special we all are. Rather than promote a culture of what we can get out of each other i.e.;sex or money.

        4. It is the reality of there being a one unified truth, that can be lived in a practical way…

288. Thank you Andy for writing such a powerful and tender article about how you have enjoyed the blossoming of your wife and daughters reconnect to the beauty of the woman within and at the same time it comes across so clearly how you have come to express the tenderness and beauty of the man that you are.

289. I love that this is written by a man – not just any man but a man that truly understands! I have learned a lot from this blog and I’m deeply celebrating this contribution. I had not truly understood the connection between a woman’s alienation from her breasts and her separation from herself until I read your words. It makes so much sense, and also why there is such an unholy focus on abusing breasts in our society.

     1. I to Melinda was going wow… look at all the ideas and pictures of what breasts are for.. wow…. when do they get to be mine? very insightful Andy, it’s great to know where we have come to as men and women to have these pictures.

     2. True Melinda, the way breasts are traded off is obscene, it is high time for each and every woman to claim her breasts back and Esoteric Breast Massage supports women to do this in the most nurturing, supportive and loving way.

290. So true. It is quite a list of owners and in a way absurd that the ‘true owner’ was not on the list. It shows me we have projected quite some ideals and beliefs on those breasts. Just the fact in itself that breasts are seen as a separate ‘object’, whilst they are part of a body. And that body happens to be a woman. It makes me realize that what Andy exposes here is much bigger. Many other parts of a woman suffer the same owner-confusion. Actually a woman herself has so many ideals and beliefs projected to her that it is time for us women to stand up in full with our breasts pointed forward to re-claim ourselves. That we are loving and tender beings and nothing less or different than that!

291. This is truly evolutionairy. Wow! I was blown away by all the organisations, people, things that seemingly try to own breasts or claim the word or as a product. To be honest, I was shocked. But now that this has been highlighted I can feel the importance of what you are writing here Andy. It is so important for us all, yes men too, to become aware of the fact that breasts belong to the woman herself and so she is to take care of herself in a very tender and loving way – so that her breasts are the future of love towards herself and so all others. It is so important to highlight the fact that this is all set as a foundation by Universal Medicine and all its associated practitioners. Women who have set the future of taking nurturing care of themselves and honor having breasts and treating them in the greatest way they can. A woman belongs to herself, no one else. This is very important for all to realize and to no longer fight against. True love, the breasts are one of the most gorgeous nurturing places within a women’s body – and this is to be treasured.

292. This is a truly ground breaking blog written by an obviously adoring husband and father. It is so wonderful to know that at last, through Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine practitioners, there are men who are understanding what it feels like to be a woman whom everyone wants a piece of. As women we are naturally nurturing but sometimes this comes at the expense of who we are ourselves, we the person gets lost and it is so lovely to be honoured and respected for who we are at last. Much thanks Andy.

293. I love this article so much and I love the fact that it is written by a man and a father of women. The Esoteric Breast Massage has supported me enormously to reclaim my breasts and indeed my body as my own.

     1. Yes, I would love to read more by Andy Baldwin, especially as a father of three daughters.

294. Breasts sell papers, cars, beer, movie tickets, books … and so the list goes on. Another commodity that we so readily sacrifice on the altar of ‘normal’, commerce and greed. Thank God for Esoteric Women’s Health and the Esoteric Breast Massage.

     1. Agreed Gabriele. Through Esoteric Breast Massage women are learning to re-claim their breasts, not in a righteous kind of way, but in the most tender and loving way where they honour who they are and don’t allow anything less.

     2. Hear, hear Gabriele.

     3. You raise a good point Gabriele, breasts are a commodity used to sell so many things. We really should be ashamed of ourselves for accepting this selling out. There is such a lack of respect by both men and women of the female form. We seem to forget their is a divine being inside that body. Objectify a woman’s breasts as something to get off on and by (buy) is something that will stick around until all women claim their breasts back … Thank God for the Esoteric Breast Massage!

     4. Thank god indeed, and ourselves who dare to go there, women reclaiming their breast as being the Divine nurturing centers. This is something completely different then where we come from, a place where breast are owned and claimed by others but not by the women themselves.

     5. HERE HERE Gabrielle! that is so true… it’s sad knowing we have come to this point in the world where our breasts are something to sell rather then nurture and cherish.

     6. Exactly Gabriele, breasts have been turned into commodites in the commercial world we live in. The Esoteric Breast Massage is key to connecting back to our breasts as a sacred part of our bodies and is revolutionising how woman feel about themselves. It will be glorious times when woman are no longer prepared to bare their breasts for a pay check, their self-worth allowing them the freedom to be celebrated for who they are, not what their breasts can sell.

     7. Hear hear Gabriele. I was in a newsagency yesterday and wandered through the magazines and saw how many ‘breasts were for sale’ and it was saddening. And then today to read such a beautiful blog from a man calling this out for what it is and exposing that they are not for sale nor for anyone else and talk about the true divine emanating essence that they are, was lovely to read.

295. A truly lovely article.

296. Andy this is a wonderful blog. I, like many others, first thought the author was a woman. It was a beautiful surprise to discover a man had written it. It’s a shame we don’t expect such tenderly expressed feelings from men about the women in their lives. Nevertheless you are paving the way and an inspiration to all of us.

297. This is my second read of this tender, very inspiring and powerful article. The Esoteric Breast Massage is an amazing support for all women in reconnecting back to all that she truly is.

298. I was surprised and delighted when I realised that this bog was being written by a man. Thank you Andy for such a beautiful sharing. This is not the kind of awareness that I have generally met with in my life nor do I feel that this is the prevalent way of appreciation that we have in our society today. It is true that The Esoteric Breast Masage has allowed probably hundreds of women to change their feelings about themselves and to become more empowered and joyful in their lives. Thanks again for writing this for all of us. It is very inspiring indeed.

299. This is beautiful Andy and feels so very supportive and confirming of women. Our breasts are indeed our own yet the world will tell us otherwise. Thank you for such a magic piece of writing.

300. Andy – I cried reading your beautiful blog – your tenderness towards your wife and 3 daughters is palpable and so contagious! And I love how you as a man can have such immense appreciation of women! Thank you so much for your sharing!

     1. Yes Henrietta, I was deeply touched by this as well and it made me want to sing and dance to hear a man talking with such a deep appreciation and love for the women in his life and for all of us women. And to hear a man talking about breasts in their true nature was quite something.

301. Beautiful Andy – our breasts and our bodies are our own. And this needs to be brought back to the attention of all those who perceive or try to claim some kind of rights over us. Even the medical profession sometimes forget the fact that we have ultimate choice and decision over our breasts (and body). We choose who can touch, and how they are to be touched and treated. To have witnessed in your amazing daughters and so many women the reclaiming of a true connection with their bodies, and the grace, power and beauty that emanates from them now, is a joy to behold.

     1. This s a stunning blog by Andy, and it’s true Annie, it is a joy to behold women who have reclaimed a true connection with their bodies and the absolute beauty they emanate is undeniable. It goes so much deeper than the physical beauty presented on the outside and it can be tangibly felt by all. This is the power of the Esoteric Breast Massage modality.

        1. I echo your words here Jo – so, so beautiful and powerful!

     2. Our breasts and our bodies are our own and re-claiming that ownership is vital for the true vitality of all women – beautifully said Annie C.

302. So many hurdles to overcome and so worth it! The freedom gained to be the joy-filled, loving beings we truly are. Thank you Andy for a tender blog sharing your deep love with us.

303. Thank you Andy for writing this. It carries an extra weight written by a male person, father and husband. “Universal Medicine is the organisation that dared to go there: the one group that despite ridicule and loathing, identified that major disconnection, then answered the call by presenting the modality (Esoteric Breast Massage)” is so true and the world will start to acknowledge and thank for their (Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and the practitioners) dedication, contribution and the Love that they tirelessly bring through.

     1. That’s what also makes this blog so powerful as it’s coming from a man.. a father… a husband, someone who has been around women but does not at all take advantage anymore. It’s beautiful Andy to feel a man has so much respect for women and their breasts.

        1. It certainly does carry so much weight given its written by a man who has born witness to the changes in the women around him, and is able to celebrate this instead of feeling threatened or like he has lost something.

     2. Well said Ryoko! Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon were the ones who dared to bring through the unthinkable. Without it many Women would still be lost and disconnected from their true nurturing ways. This modality is one of the most amazing modalities today for women and as I see it will only become more accepted as the changes in women continue.

304. What an accurate observation about our society -sad, but true, as it is. The work of Serge Benhayon regarding women and their bodies is obviously having a marked positive effect on the women he works with and evidently the men too. Something to write home about.

305. Thank you Andy! It is so lovely to feel the deep understanding you have for women and all the issues with her breasts she might have to encounter when wanting to gain back a deeper connection with her body.

     1. I absolutely agree Judith this blog is very powerful in that way.. woman are allowed to claim back their breasts. It’s so important to have it clear and out there all of the ‘ideals’ people have about women breast when women’s breast are THEIRS.

     2. What lucky girls they are to have such a respectful, loving and understanding father.

306. Andy, as a women reading this blog it is so beautiful to feel your deep respect and love for women. Through the work of Serge Benhayon I have noticed that more and more men are allowing themselves to express in this tender way and it is very healing.

     1. Yes it certainly is, I feel very optimistic in the future of where men are headed after reading what Andy has to say.

307. Life without the emotional straight jackets sure is a hell of a lot free-er

308. Andy, the joy and the love with which you wrote about your daughters and their mother was so very heart-warming. In fact I could feel your love and respect for all women. Thank you for such a beautiful article.

     1. I totally agree ingridward15, Andy’s way of expressing is deeply powerful and holds all women equally. What a testament to the way he lives his life, it is men like Andy that will change the world forever.

     2. A Deeply heart warming love for his daughters and their mother . His love literally jumped off the page and I too could feel his respect and care for all women.

     3. So beautiful reading the deep love and respect Andy has for his daughters and their mother and for all women by connecting with what is going on and expressing this in a blog. I’m finding that more men are speaking up about the amazing qualities they see in women that we sometimes do not see in ourselves. For me, it gives me an opportunity to check in with how I feel and know myself to be, and do I claim that part or quality about myself. It’s such a powerful healing opportunity for everyone….the one expressing what they see and appreciate in another and the one receiving it and taking it deeper.

309. Andy, what you have grounded by writing this article is deeply profound. The Esoteric Breast Massage Modality has changed many lives greatly, and as you said, Universal Medicine was prepared to ‘go there’ – strongly taken up by many women who had been missing a true relationship with their bodies for so long. Articles like this one opens further doors for men and woman everywhere in a loving and practical way. Truly showing us what extraordinary is. Thank you.

310. Andy, this was such insightful and beautiful expression. I could feel such honouring of all women throughout this article. And I agree, I feel deep gratitude to Serge Benhayon for bringing through the deeply healing modality of Esoteric Breast Massage and training the most amazing women practitioners of this modality that lovingly help us reconnect to our breasts – our nurturing centres.

311. I feel seen, cared for and honoured as a woman by this article. It feels very healing that it is written so tenderly and delicately by a man who also openly appreciates and adores the his wife and daughters. Thank you Andy.

312. Huge Andy, so much focus, fuss attention, power struggle over one part of one genders anatomy. It made me think about what they truly represent that makes us as a society find so many ways to change and manipulate our relationship to them.

313. Thank you Andy for this powerful article. It cannot be said often enough that the breasts and the body of a woman only belong to herself and nobody else.

314. So funny but true. It is ludicrous how we see breasts as a commodity rather than just part of the body and to be respected as such. As a man, I can relate to having seen women’s breasts as an object rather than part of a person – horrible to admit but true. Like most men, I have over time been responsible for looking at women as mere sex objects. We can say this is natural, and to a certain extent it is fine to admire a woman’s body – of course – but the problem is that we do this without ever truly acknowledging or seeing that a woman is far more than just how she looks.

     1. Beautifully said Adam. Women’s breasts are so widely objectified through so many different mediums. This culture is shaping women as they grow up and as they live in the world as grown women and it needs to change.

        At the same time, the answer isn’t to go too far the other way, as we can tend to do when trying to ‘right a wrong.’ It is ok, for men to appreciate a woman’s body, as it is ok for women to claim their sexiness and express that.

        Where we need to get to is a place of deep respect and appreciation for women. When these 2 qualities are embodied, it isn’t possible to look at a woman as an object.

315. So very true. I loved reading “…for if a woman can be alienated from her very breasts, her divinely endowed centres of the nurturing essence, then she is already far down the path of separation from self, with all the abandonment and strife that surely follows.” This has certainly been my experience and the joy I feel having returned so much to claiming this nurturing essence through my breasts is amazing. The Esoteric Breast Massage has been an integral part of this for me. Thank you Andy, your expression here is so very needed and warmly welcomed.

316. “To be graced to witness the glorious unfoldment of these women from the emotional straitjackets which bound them to the roller coaster of life as we knew it” This is so well put Andrew… It certainly was a roller coaster… thank God for the inspiration of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
     I was also graced to witness your glorious unfoldment and that of our son, as you both claimed the beautiful, tender, clairsentient men you truly are, demonstrated so clearly in your written word.
     Families are a microcosm of life showing us the huge effect that we have on each other; it takes the women to arrest their emotional output for the men to no longer feel the need to shutdown. It is evident that men cannot handle emotions so it is not uncommon for women, who confuse emotions with feelings, to view men as unfeeling when it is quite the opposite; it is the emotions that we woman so freely play with that not only keep us “in the straight jacket binding us to the roller coaster of life” but also bulldoze the man into shutting down; This bulldozing, I have come to understand, is not only a form of control but is also felt deeply by our men to be a rejection of who they truly are; such is the true sensitivity of men.

317. Andy this is a beautiful article thank you for sharing.

318. Wow!
     This piece does not contain an ounce of reservation. Andy has given voice to a subject that many women brush under the carpet and many men are awkward in giving an opinion on.

     Andy’s solidness in expressing on this uncomfortable topic is so powerful.

     Thank you Andy!

319. I love this line: “it is a joy that confirms that the life soulfully lived can rise up and soar out of the mire of despair that characterizes the ‘veil of tears’.”

320. You list so many perceptions about breasts, some of which I personally know and some I had forgotten. And then I liked how you switch it up to “your wonderment and respect” for the women in your life. How they have “flowered into gorgeous, loving, nurturing women”. This is very beautiful to read. When I mention or speak of Esoteric Breast Massage to friends it is often met with sniggers or suspicions and few questions. Esoteric Breast Massage is a truly deeply healing modality. I embrace the day when, as you say, this modality is available for ALL women, until such day it is no longer required.

321. Gorgeous blog, Andy, thank you for sharing. Recently we spoke with a group of women about the relationship with our breasts and none of the women (me included) liked their breasts as a teenager. From there it makes a lot of sense that women don’t take care of their breasts and don’t claim in full they are theirs.

322. The world needs more expression like what you have shared here Andy. The respect of women in which you write can be felt as I re-read this blog once again. Women in whole or any part do not have to be held and bound and owned by others and nor do men have to follow the game of ‘we have to / it is acceptable to treat women in this way’ and equally claim what they actually feel about women and even other men.

323. A humorous yet shocking unveiling of the set-up in society that allows a woman to disconnect from her innate Divinity. Three cheers for men like you Andy – saying it how it is.

324. Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine have exposed everything – nothing is being left behind. It scares people because so much of our world is hidden and underhand. Words have been re-interpreted, so when an incredible modality such as Esoteric Breast Massage is released by Universal Medicine, it brings up the fears and hidden agendas of men and women alike. We have to go there and pull back the covers and clear out the rubbish to let our natural light shine. And Andy, thank you for taking us there, great blog.

325. Thank you Andy for the “Come on lady! Can’t you see there’s a queue? Get in the line.” -It is indeed a very sad point that I have to join a line if I say: “my breasts belong to me, and just to me, they are mine. This is my body, my expression of humanity this life. My body and all parts of it should not be used by anyone” – but it is. So, how to claim my breasts and my body back? Best way to do so seems to me to start to honour my body, see that it is loaded with influences from others, which I did – aloud, clear, and very carefully, and then…CELEBRATE me, my body and my breasts. Every day. Thanks to Universal Medicine, Serge Benhayon and all the Universal Medicine Practitioners for supporting me by celebrating me and my body!

     1. Yes Sandra, I agree to reclaim ourselves all we have to do is honour and celebrate our selves and our body because we are so worth celebrating.

326. The title of this blog made me laugh and caused me to be intrigued as to what was going to be said. Wow! what a powerful blog Andy. It is even more powerful being written by a man. No wonder women have lost their connection with themselves especially their breasts. Too many people make claim to them. The second half of this blog made me cry as it brought up my stuff of not being admired and truly loved as a woman. I am greatly responsible for this as I was not connected to the womanly part of me but through my unfoldment can now feel the beautiful tender woman I am. I could also feel the great love in your words about the women in your life and the changes they have made. I thank you for this loving blog as it has been a healing for me.

327. Awesome Andy, and thanks for being ‘man enough’ to speak about breasts with utmost respect and as they are divinely intended to be – not anyone’s object or possession to be used (and abused) but as parts and possessions of the essential woman herself for her expression of love.

328. Thank you, Andy. To read this from a man feels so beautiful and reaffirming.

329. Beautifully detailed how women’s breasts are used in our society….and a woman’s healing is claiming back her breasts, connecting and feeling their true beauty, the essence of nurturing….this is an enormous healing of coming back as a whole woman and not allowing one part, not even a minute part of her, to be sold out to outside of her.

330. Thanks Andy – it is one thing as a woman to reclaim our breasts and reconnect with them. But to see men doing the same thing is another. When both men and women change their relationship with breasts… well that will be something amazing.

331. Andy, a brilliant blog. Your deeply touching honouring of your daughters and their mother brought tears to my eyes. What a difference it would make in the world if all men allowed themselves to adore their daughters in such a way – it would turn around completely the way we relate to each other as genders, and it would bring understanding and true healing to relationships, as we would not enter into it with the need for recognition and the hurts from not being seen. Such a woman would know and respect herself in a way that she would never allow herself to be exposed to any of the abusive and non loving acts that you have listed above.

332. Wow andy this was amazing to read.

333. So true Andy, as women we have so many different outlets using our bodies and breasts for entertainment, advertisement, fantasy, to shut us down and more – and often if you stand up to it you can be called a prude, uptight or told that it’s no big deal and to worry about something more important. Our breasts ARE important to us and here’s to claiming them back!

334. Thank you Andy for pointing this out, loud and clear. My breasts are mine, have always been and will always be mine. What is going on in society now just shows the lack of a relationship we as women have with our own breasts. When we re-claim the true woman that we are and accept every beautiful part of our bodies and start having a relationship with ourselves AND our breasts, this would bring a huge change in the world.

335. Wow. Thank you Andy for sharing this. It is so powerful coming from a father of three beautiful women. The absolute love and care can be felt in the words. This is inspirational for men and women alike.

336. The true power of this blog comes from the fact that it is written by a man whom undoubtedly like myself has realised just how far away from knowing myself as a man playing the wolf whistle game allowed me to fall. Sexist separation does nothing to support the oneness we ought to foster and enjoy and indeed depriving women of their innate connection to their ability to truly nurture themselves and therefore all of humanity equally is not something I am proud of ‘having a hand in’ in my past.

     1. Well said Greg, and so very touching to read how you have felt your part in this downward spiral of how society relates to women’s breasts. It really shows just one aspect of how far away we really are as a society to feeling and experiencing the true essence of a woman’s breasts. Thank you for sharing this very powerful contribution with us.

337. Wow Andy I could feel myself squirm as I was reading as I could feel the truth in what you are sharing. And it’s not what I would call comfortable. Breast are certainly the most coveted part of the woman’s body, owned by everyone other than the women herself and how sneaky and unconscious this can be. For a man to be able to share this is extraordinary, for I can feel how important it is now for all women to know how our whole body is ours first and foremost, not owned by anyone – ever. How gorgeous for you that you have been able to witness the vast changes with the women in your own family and then share these very astute and valuable observations for everyone to begin to also see. A true tender, loving and caring man.

338. Andy, thanks for being so honest here because everything you say is true. We have in the past lived as if our breasts were not our own, we gave our power away and fell into a life of consiousness or unconscious self-loathing ultimately affecting everything about our lives simply because of our disconnection. And yes thank God for Universal Medicines unwavering dedication to truth and love, no fear there! We as woman have been shown our way back to ourselves, out of the rot, to once again reclaim our naturally nurturing ways.

339. Yes Andy, Universal Medicine is the organisation that dared to go there and address the disconnect that was going on for women from a part of their body. I have felt for years a relationship with my breasts really based on how the world around me responded or what was demanded of me. I had no concept that my breasts were nurturing centers of my body. Since I began to develop an understanding of what this means, I have enjoyed my sense of being a woman in a deeply profound way, and have never looked back.

     1. “…the effects of which are deeply far reaching…” This is absolutely spot on Shirley-Ann. When a woman begins to re-connect and re-claim her breasts it is felt far and wide by all those around her. A very profound process for ALL.

340. Thank-you Andy for this great article which exposes the many different ways that woman and her breasts are viewed as objects for others satisfaction and that our breasts are ours and are actually a part of our bodies to be cared and nurtured for just as much as any other part of us.

341. I was very touched by this blog Andy. I would love to read more blogs by you as a father and as a true philosopher.

     1. I agree Rebecca, this is pure gold.

342. I am only allowed to like this post once so I felt to write again how power-full this blog is, especially coming from a man, husband, father and grand-father. This blog brings tears to my eyes.

343. This was the last thing I ever envisioned: a man writing about women and their breasts! Wow! And written from observation with understanding and sensitivity. Amazing, Andy.

344. It is wonderful to read an article on breasts written by a man who has an amazing respect for a woman and her body and is so tender and humbling when speaking about the beautiful women in his family. Powerful and a healing to many – thank you.

345. Amazing piece of writing, and a powerful statement of fact. The actual true purpose of Esoteric Breast Massage is clearly presented here for us all to know. I can now see how this modality is for the benefit of all of humanity, you’ve given me a much greater appreciation of what is going on here. Thank you so much Andy.

     1. Right on Paul.
        This is not just for the women, but as ‘everything is everything, all of the time’, this modality spreads to all of humanity spherically.
        It’s a new form of vaccination in a way, to complement the traditional type.

346. Wow, this is so true. And in the end it’s not only about breasts, it’s about our whole bodies, men’s and women’s, that is owned by everything outside of us, if we let it so happen.

     1. Yes Felix and Shirley-Ann, isn’t it strange that we often do not even consider that it is OUR body we are living in?
        We judge it and want to form it or dump a lot of our stuff on it, instead of appreciating it as it is and lovingly supporting it in every way that we can.

     2. So true Felix, that many men sell their bodies to their work for a few pennies and end up broken and unable to carry on.
        Change must surely come, and we are that change, here, now!

347. Andy this is a beautiful article written from love, thank you for sharing.

     1. Lynda, your appreciation magnifies what is said here. Thank you.

348. Love this article Andy. And love that it is a man and a father who wrote it. How beautiful is that!

     1. I agree Anne, such a joy to read this from a man and father — Andy, you’re a role model for men, fathers everywhere. You’re truly leading the way here.

349. What a beautiful and honouring writing about breasts. Thank you Andy it made it so clear for me how very much everyone and everything wants to own a woman’s breasts and what a blessing it is for society to have women who are deeply connected to their breasts and do not lend their ownership to anyone or anything.

     1. Well said Esther. The Esoteric Breast Massage introduced by Universal Medicine has gone where no modality has gone before for women. It’s very sacredness brings women back to the sacredness that resides in their own bodies, and this is not just a huge blessing for the woman, it is also a huge blessing for everyone this woman comes into contact and interacts with.

        1. ‘…where no modality has gone before for women’. Indeed Katerina, and hasn’t that excited some interest and knee-jerk contempt from the few who think that everything’s fine the way it is?
           With women in their place… and the whole world in pain.
           Bondage. I for one am sick of it.

350. This was a great read as it really nailed so many notions of how breasts are owned. Even though everyone knows it, having it stated like this, still offered a shock about how much life imposes on women to place nurturing of herself and others last. We are all the victims in this sense, because we all suffer from missing out on the true power of women.

     1. Beautifully said Simon. I agree wholeheartedly. Andy has nailed it, as in, “like, hellooo…” just how are we viewing women’s bodies – even ‘just’ this part of the body (the breasts)? This affects all of us – women, men, children…
        And I can attest also, to the importance of the modality of Esoteric Breast Massage and work of Universal Medicine, in this regard. It has brought me back in touch with my own breasts and my own body as a woman – something which is an ongoing process, to deepen and nurture this relationship I have with ‘me’ and my own body. The impositions on the woman’s body have been so enormous…

     2. Well that’s all changing now Simon, the true power is at hand, and evident: and though I once doubted I could stand the heat, I’m loving it. Fire it up!!

351. Andy your love for the women in your life has really touched me, I can feel your love and deep respect for all women. You know as well as I do, the profound impact the Esoteric Breast Massage modality has on a woman letting go of all that she is not, and embracing all that she is. Stunning.

     1. I do know Kate, I have seen it to be so and even more felt it in my being – and I will say it so to anyone who cares to know because it’s simply wonderful.

352. You are so right Andy – worldwide breasts are treated as a ‘commodity’ by both men and women. No wonder so many women are disconnected from a true sense of breasts as a wonderful part of themselves that is symbolic of nurturing and caring.

     1. A ‘commodity’ is right Helen. Male and female alike, most of us start out at the breast and draw nourishment but also great comfort there.
        And then we switch seamlessly to the cow’s breast, the udder, and just carry on like it’s normal or something. More comfort.
        And then we mix the cow’s milk with sugar and cocoa and… more comfort, and still a commodity. Or mixed with coffee, yet more commodified comfort. YIKES!!!
        If cows could think they’d know that we’re mad!

353. Thank you Andy, what an amazing read, so much to relate to and heal. The beautiful man that you and other Universal Medicine students have developed into are ” pointers to the future,” as you so aptly portray.

354. I also liked this article.

355. What an absolutely gorgeous article to read.

356. Andy, I love it, how clearly you’ve called out all the ownership and denial around breasts – they have to have a function for people out there, for others, but not for the woman herself. It’s been a real joy for me to develop a relationship with my breasts as I’ve had Esoteric Breast Massages – it’s been a revelation, and allowed me to more deeply connect to my body, and enjoy being in it, just as me.

     1. Getting back in your body is a great start to the journey home Monica. Disconnection leaves us marooned in a sea of self-pity or giddy in a whirlpool of confusion and alienation. Reconnecting reveals that the journey back is not a journey at all – the connection itself is the way home.
        As you say… “and enjoy being in it, just as me”.

        1. Andy I love your words, they just make me smile and appreciate you and all of us, how we can inspire each other. ‘The connection itself is the way home’ – I will take this into my day – thank you.

357. So beautifully expressed Andy and a joy to read – As I started to read I too thought it was a woman expressing but, no, a gentle man who has such respect/tenderness not just for his own beautiful family but for all women. Thank you.

358. At any time you can claim yourself back. What heavy judgement was laid upon breasts. No wonder so many women disconnected from themselves. The burden was so heavy. It is with so much love that Universal Medicine has a healing modality that heals that disconnection. This has led to so many beautiful women truly shining. How wonderful Andy, that you have been able to witness this and shine along with your (very shiney) family.

     1. ‘At any time you can claim yourself back.’ And there’s no time like now… which becomes the future as the choice is made to live by love alone.
        About time for us all, wouldn’t you think Amanda?

359. Well written and an interesting look at the gorgeousness and privileges that women bring with them

360. Imagine the time when all men express themselves this way about woman’s breasts. Spoken with such understanding and respect for women, awesome to read and feel.

361. Gosh this is awesome – at first reading I was thinking… wow, when does the woman get to own her breasts? So well written Andy, so well exposed and straight to the point.

362. The title itself says so much… It is crazy to feel we have gotten to a place in our society where we even have to ask that question. It should be our normal that a woman’s breasts belong to her – yet it isn’t. And as you say, we have been so blessed to have the Esoteric Breast Massage which has been my personal way of claiming my breasts back as belonging solely and wholly to me.

     1. Somehow we’re not far above the bottom of the evolutionary arc… but armed with the realisation of what evolution really is, we’re on our way back!! And this modality is a big player in that return.

363. Awesome article, Andy and an important message for women to re-connect and re-claim the inherent sacredness that they are, which starts with our bodies.
     I feel the sacred, nurturing essence of women. Men and women both lose out in a major way when we sexualize women and girls and not see them for the precious sacred beings they are, and the importance of what that brings for humanity.

     1. Indeed, seeing women – and ourselves – in our sacredness is a missing ingredient that allows our humanity to be. Without it, we are less than the beasts.

364. Andy, thank you for such a powerful blog, I can really feel the deep respect and appreciation you hold for women, and the beauty that they all are.

     1. Francisco, their beauty ever so gently reminds me of the beauty you and I are, as well.

365. It is very touching Andy, to hear you speak with such love and honouring for your daughters and all women. This article is a joy to read, thank you.

     1. And it is deeply touching to be surrounded by angels, Victoria.

366. Andy your eloquence and understanding when writing about womens breasts is the future for men now.

     1. Embracing the future, every minute, every day.

367. This is really beautiful Andy, so inspiring hearing this from such a gentle and tender man. Thank you for expressing this, to also be an inspiration to others to view women in a more loving way.

     1. The Adoration Express. . . . . All ABOARD!!!

368. An amazing revelation into how far removed we are from the truth of the relationship between women and their breasts. Thank you Andy for informing us of the true divine aspect.

     1. Perhaps ‘reminding you’ rather than ‘informing you’, would more accurately describe it Andrew.
        When we stop still we can strongly feel the divine aspect to be so.

369. Beautiful and warm is your deep honouring of women! Reading this from a man confirms for me, men´s internal living tenderness and adoration.

     1. Andrea, I had forgotten it was in me until true women reflected it back to me.
        Yes, it is warm, thank you.

370. I can’t wait for the day when all fathers speak of their daughters and wives with such genuine tenderness. Thanks Andy.

     1. Cultivating tenderness is my full-time hobby now. A gardener of sorts.
        My old hobby of fostering disconnection is fading fast… it proved to be arid.

371. Absolutely brilliant blog Andy, loved reading every word. Very powerful, inspiring and deeply honouring.

372. A friend recently asked about the modality ‘Esoteric Breast Massage’ and if it might be something that may help her and what was my experience…I immediately responded ‘It is life changing’ and continues to deepen my connection with my whole body as a woman. This is what Andy so eloquently writes about, the transformation of his wife and daughters.

     1. I have yet to meet someone who was not fundamentally changed by this modality – even those who walk away can never be quite the same again. A game changer.

373. Andy that was a really powerful blog and even more so coming from a man. That was beautiful reading how you feel about your daughters and what joy you have received watching them grow into amazing women.

     1. Kim, if you knew the half of it!! Amazing is an understatement…
        As for the joy, it is as if I have become it, rather than receiving it.
        A blessing indeed.

374. Andy you are amazing. I thought a woman was writing this post and the shear joy of discovering you are not a woman but as a man can still make such truthful observations brings me to tears. The high regard in which you hold your wife and daughters is an inspiration to men and women everywhere. Thank you so much.

     1. Wattleblossum, there will be a day when we are so in tune with each other it will frequently be very difficult to tell the gender of who is expressing.
        I welcome that day, and I am honoured by your tears of joy.

375. Wow Andy, what an amazing blog you have written. The Esoteric Breast Massage is truly a gift to humanity in assisting women to reconnect to their amazing, nurturing self. Having had breast cancer and being very disconnected with my breasts before the cancer, the Esoteric Breast Massage has helped me to heal what I feel is the underlying cause of my breast cancer, lack of self-nurturing. My feeling and understanding of the breasts as our nurturing centres now makes absolute sense to me.

     1. Donna it is humbling to read your words considering the enormously confronting issues you have faced, and navigated.
        Healing the energetic basis of a disease is a great feat, one that is yet unappreciated in many disciplines.
        We will change that.

376. The Esoteric Breast Massage does indeed support women to ‘repair(ed) their relationship with their own bodies’. So refreshing Andy, to hear from a man who ‘sees’ the true beauty of women and by expressing this, other men and women may be inspired to reconnect with what they know is true rather than allowing themselves to be seduced by glamour and imposed belief.

     1. Those ‘glamour-glasses’ have a lot to answer for. A most powerful and superb weapon for distraction and keeping one away from one’s true self.
        Now ain’t that a crime!!

        1. Seeing and truly appreciating any women’s true power, sacredness and preciousness involves the removal of not only our ‘glamour glasses’ but also our ‘illusion glasses’ too. Its definitely a crime not to do this Andy.

377. A very touching and beautiful blog Andy to feel how tenderly you speak of your daughters and their mother (all of whom are incredibly beautiful).

     1. It’s true they are… and so are we all, beyond description.

378. Hang -ups are one of my favourite forms of separation: I’ve employed them extensively to keep myself small.
     Thanks for reminding me, Katie. Eternal vigilance required!

379. Thank you Andrew for speaking of women in such terms. Sadly I have never thought of my breasts as anything more than a way of feeding my children, then hiding them even from myself. I have only a brief acquaintance with Esoteric Breast Massage but I will explore it further. Reading all the posts and your lovely responses is so liberating. Thank you!

     1. Patricia, do it! The unexplored frontiers of the self is the great adventure awaiting us who have limited ourselves to what we see in front of us.
        It is an adventure unparalleled in the narrow world of conquest and slavery that has been so dominant for so long, both within and without.

380. Really enjoyed this blog Andy. It is great to hear a man expressing in this way and feel the respect you have for your wife and daughters.

     1. For me Cindy, this respect extends to all women, not just those close to me.
        The women I have observed changing profoundly through this modality have been the catalyst for a huge increase in my appreciation of what women bring, especially when their true nature is allowed to shine through.
        It is simply a revelation.

        1. This is true – i feel it every time I see Andy. He’s an inspiration.

381. Wow Andy, what you’ve written here is so powerful. I had to stop at the end and feel what you’d delivered to all women in what you’d written. I particularly love how you talk of your daughters and your wife. It is with the utmost respect and love and it’s not normal for me to hear men talk of women this way. Why is that? Seems crazy if we know it’s true. Reading this, I feel deeply honoured for who I truly am. Thank you.

     1. Candida, it’s a strange world we’ve created: what is totally crazy is portrayed as sane, and what is perfectly natural and sane is resisted and rejected vehemently.
        We are agents to help right this topsy-turvy world through our purpose and steadiness – and through cultivating the ability to consciously feel as you have been able to do: this is an ability that we all are re-establishing in ourselves in our everyday lives.

382. That’s very beautiful Katie. Acceptance and full awareness is a quantum shift . . . a new way of being.

383. Great blog, Andrew. It is the second time I have visited your blog and enjoyed the re-read. You are so right with where the world is at with breasts. To see women, through the modalities such as Esoteric Breast Massage that Universal Medicine offers, nurturing themselves and claiming back their bodies, to allow who they are to shine through for all the world to witness, is a joy and an honour to behold.

     1. For sure, it is all that Paul. . . and in its simplicity, a veritable miracle.

384. The Esoteric Breast Massage modality as being taught by Universal Medicine is so precious to women because it gives them the opportunity to reconnect to themselves, to their true essence of love and tenderness. It is so beautiful to have women around that have re-established the connection with their natural state of being. It brings joy to my life to see and feel that the connection to the truth they show me, is equally in me. Thank you all for being yourselves, to show me how to live my own soulful beauty on earth.

     1. The Reconnection Express – a train ride to everywhere, and everything!

385. Thank you Andy. The fact that a man can so lovingly appreciate where the women in his life have come to – especially in relation to their breasts – shows the complete respect and honour you have for your daughters and their mother in how they choose to live and how they have chosen to reclaim their nurturing essence. Beautifully said.

     1. The esoteric breast massage is indeed a powerful healing technique. It has allowed me to be able to reconnect with my own innate nurturing essence and connect with a part of my body that was sadly ignored and neglected as a powerful nurturing aspect.

        1. Totally Jenny, from what I’ve seen it’s an absolute life changer, and in the profoundest way.

     2. Amelia, I am finding that this respect easily extends to ALL women, young and old and middling, whether they have had Esoteric Breast Massage (EBM) or not, just for the exquisite beings they are. The EBM tends to hasten and highlight that exquisiteness.
        Wide and far may it spread!!

386. Andy what a gorgeous man you are. Your playful wit and cheeky expression, mixed with Divine awareness, is delightful and this delivers your message with a packed fiery punch.
     ‘the process of reconnection and reclamation of the essence of femaleness in form’ has begun.
     Keeping a breast ahead…. may all the women of the world claim that yes indeed ‘I’m a woman and these breasts are mine’.

     1. True Kathryn, a modality that is really ‘abreast of the times’. There are so many yearning for something different, something that works.
        Definitely up to us to get the word around… the sooner the better.

387. Not only for women to remember the fact of who they are as ‘women’ but also for the entire world.

388. After re reading this blog and some comments I do believe as Maryline said the time is nigh for Women to really change the world by the nurturing aspect of themselves being honoured. And the Esoteric Breast Massages are amazing, as witnessed by the many men seeing and feeling the differences in their partners and friends who have transformed themselves into deeper more loving versions of woman.

     1. A huge transformation indeed, and for sure Greg, we have achieved much. . . but if we are ‘to really change the world’ (the world that is US), we have much, much more to do. And so we will.

389. When I was going through this list of people and institutions which are all insistant in owning my breasts for their interest, I felt a lot of pressure. It seems to me like I am in a pin-ball machine…as long I take my place as a pin-ball. I really have to step out of this “game” and that is not so easy because it’s everywhere – as you pointed out so very well Andy. I am so thankful for everyone who supports me and to all women in being who they are… and by stepping out of this pin-ball- or better: ‘pin-up’ game. And everyone can/has to step out of it – not just the women. Thanks to you Andy and thanks to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine to support us all in that.

     1. Sandra, as you say, it’s EVERYwhere – but as we are supported we are then able to offer that support to others….
        Beautiful really.

390. Wow Andy,
     I don’t know what to say,
     My body is just singing with JOY.
     You have expressed with such love and tenderness.

     1. As you are singing with JOY we can’t help but join the chorus; no further words are needed.

391. Andy I love the way you express your love, it is infectious, so warm and so dear. Thank you for being such a strong voice of truth standing beside what the Esoteric Breast Massage represents for all women.

     1. And thanks to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine for unlocking and encouraging our expression.
        The embodiment of expression as a reality, rather than an ideal, is – like the Esoteric Breast Massage – another great step to facilitate the rediscovery of that divinity which we wilfully gave up long ago.

392. Wow, wow, wow, Andy, what you have shared exposes the many ways women’s breasts have been used by others – which we woman have allowed. It was not until I met Serge Benhayon did I even stop to question my relationship to my breasts. Having Esoteric Breast Massages have greatly supported reclaiming by breasts and is what I refer to as ‘a modality that every woman needs to experience at least once as they are simply divine!’

     1. ‘which we woman have allowed’…. and at times, through emptiness, even encouraged.
        At a time when randomly presenting women in swimming costumes or less is portrayed as ’empowerment of women’, it is a great responsibility to present a real alternative to this massive disrespect.
        As you rightly say Sharon, this modality is an essential gift to assist in the uncovering of the divinity that has been so deeply buried.

393. Thank you Andy for your exquisite blog and sharing of your relationship with your daughters and observations and healing you have been through with them. Equally commenting on the amazing modality the Esoteric Breast Massage, that is truly the most amazing experience a woman can have to assist her in claiming her breasts and the woman she already is.

     1. And heartfelt thanks to you Reagan, for becoming you.
        Plus more plaudits for Universal Medicine who have shown me that as we are in ourselves expressions, so in turn must we express in alignment with our true nature.

394. Andy the deep honouring I can feel from you for your daughters and your wife is exquisite and all women deserve this from men universally.

     1. All women do deserve this, Mary Louise – if only more women knew it. The Esoteric Breast Massage supports women to rebuild honour for themselves: as this takes hold there will be a tsunami of honouring of women by men. Get ready for the flood!

395. As I re-read your article and the beautiful and powerful replies on every comment we make I am deeply touched by your dedication and your love coming through, thank you so much Andy. It feels you hold us all in your amazing love, so honoring of the true women we are.

     1. As I am equally honoured by your deep appreciation Annelies.
        Love. . is love. . . is love. . . our birthright, and true intelligence.

396. Thank you Andy for having the courage to say what almost all men and women alike will not. A woman’s breasts are indeed to be honoured and they do belong to her. The Esoteric Breast Massage supports women all over the world to see their breasts as more than appendages, and instead feel them to be an important part of their body. Thank God for Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon for bringing us this cherished modality.

     1. Heather, for me courage is a by-product of connection – the profound connection the Esoteric Breast Massage is assisting to re-establish in those who receive and embody the healing it offers. Without connection, courage devolves to bravado, a confected courage that is highly difficult to maintain and, particularly in the case of young men, sometimes quite a dangerous and potentially lethal place to be.

397. As I re-read your amazing blog this morning Andy, I feel that we women have real power to change the world into a place of nurturing instead of the place of hate that we can see around us. This is so brave and deeply caring from Universal Medicine to present such an amazing and ground shaking modality as the Esoteric Breast Massage.

     1. ‘A ground shaking modality’. . . 11 on the Richter scale and that scale only goes to 10.
        In these times fear stalks the earth without real challenge (but plenty of lip service and ‘faux’ change that leaves everything the same or worse).
        True courage is essential now; Universal Medicine shows the way to all who have ‘had a gutful’ of the way things are – and like yourself, are willing to go there.

        1. Andy your comment ‘In these times fear stalks the earth without real challenge’ is striking to read. I can feel how I have bought into this fear, and the pressing need for truth to be expressed, for us all.
           I also deeply appreciated your observations about how various industries and formal religions create the mis-truth that a woman is less. I can feel how I have simply accepted some of these messages, and in doing so have allowed myself to be less than all I am.
           Your article presents very clearly that there IS another way. And now when I feel less or another treats me as less, I am comitted to questioning where this is truly coming from and to no longer merely accept mediocrity. Thank you.

398. What a great article, I’ve never considered the ‘ownership’ of breasts like this. With Esoteric Women’s Health and the Esoteric Breast Massage I have been able to feel how disconnected to my breasts I actually was, they were just a body part that I didn’t even give any special attention to, in fact they felt quite numb, but I thought this was just normal and didn’t consider that we could actually feel anything in our breasts. With articles such as this, and Esoteric Women’s health I’ve been deepening my relationship with my breasts, to feel that they are actually a part of my body that I can cherish and nurture, and feel warmth, and an essence of me as a woman. The more I embrace this, the more I am embracing myself as a woman, and allowing others to feel this essence in me also.

     1. Thanks Danielle, yes it’s shocking how many are disconnected without even knowing it.
        But now, here it is. . . the essential you.
        The world has been waiting. . . and for me too.

399. Thank you Andy for writing this, it is so lovely to hear such appreciation, understanding and love for women so tenderly expressed. Yes, it is weird and sinister that anyone would be trying to shut this amazing modality down, but not so strange when you consider that the EBM is truly a modality that empowers women by supporting them to connect to their essence and as you describe it is indeed transformational, something that can be seen as very threatening to the status quo.

     1. Empowerment of women? Can’t have that now, can we!
        Unless we turn ’em into men first… that might be just acceptable!
        But true equality through self realisation and full awareness – too revolutionary for many it seems.

400. wow, how gorgeous this is, a man (and a father) writing this blog. There is indeed this idea that all men are the same and have this sexualized image of women. This is not true. It is something that we assume, yet there are so many men out there who don’t look at women that way. As for the women, it is up to us to live in a way that embraces our breasts and that yes indeed, my breasts are mine! And yours are yours. Let’s claim it!

     1. You’re right Mariette… it is possible to see women as sexy without sexualising them.
        It’s called respect. True respect. And it goes the other way too.

401. I just read this again, Andy and I have such a warm and open feeling in my body and that feels super-supported to be all that I am as Woman. Thank you, your tenderness and deep respect for Women is incredibly powerful.

     1. I agree Natalie – it is super powerful and lovely to read something like this, especially since it is written from a man’s perspective – it seems that often women (including myself) just assume that men only sexualise women’s bodies, but this blog shows that is not the case.

        1. Yes Jessica, so lovely and honouring to read such an article written from a mans perspective, thank you Andy.

     2. Natalie… All of you for all of us.
        This is going to be BIG!!

402. A beautiful tender blog that speaks to all women of their innate beauty. Thank you so much Andy – I felt such a healing in your words.

     1. A healing for you… and a healing for me, as it is with expression. Truly a win-win, Jane.

403. To hear a man speak of breasts in this way is deeply inspiring Andy.
     I too am eternally grateful to Universal Medicine for introducing a modality that has offered me the opportunity to blossom, to begin to truly embody what it is to be a woman, reconnect to my breasts and reclaim the power and stillness within.
     Men expressing with such equality and tenderness have the power to turn the tide. Your celebration and appreciation of women can be felt by us all.

     1. Lucinda, the whole world sings with joy at the appearance of another delicate blossom.
        Doubly so, as this is the flower of true evolution and expansion.

        1. Andy, that comment is so beautiful, I had to stop and really feel it. What a gorgeous dad you are!

404. A very powerful article. Indeed, Universal Medicine has dared to go where they knew they would likely receive strong reaction from some quarters, and certainly, there was some. Fortunately, Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon have recognised that the need for the modality to support women is much greater than any negative sort of personal reaction that may flow his and Universal Medicine’s way.

     1. Yes Stephen, this stand to lay the foundation for TRUE equality is bound to cause quite some ruckus in the hallowed halls of the status quo, but then again, that has never yet deterred Serge Benhayon, he is simply not for the bending.
        Ever may that continue!!

     2. Thank you Stephen. Men like you and Andy make me feel the true woman that I am as your words are so tender and inspirational. Thank you.

405. ‘It is a joy that confirms that the life soulfully lived can rise up and soar out of the mire of despair that characterizes the ‘veil of tears’.’ wow that is one amazing piece of expression Andy! The tender way you hold your daughters is palpable and is healing for all that read this.

     1. Still a ‘work in progress’ Vanessa. . . but nevertheless a profound shift from my earlier ways, and such a relief. That hardness I once carried was extremely high maintenance!!

406. Thank you for such a powerful blog. It is one of which I really appreciated reading as it shows me that the saying ‘Everything is within us’ is so power-full when accepted and lived. Truly inspirational.

     1. Thanks Leigh for the timely reminder to look within, where it all lies, rather than without, where it’s all lies.

407. I agree, Andy. Women bare their breasts for porn, ‘glamour’ shots, theatre and films and art, but how many bare their breats simply for themselves, to reflect on their beauty and tenderness?

     1. Very few I would agree. It’s just not the way we were brought up, but now we’re breaking the mould, big time.

408. Every EBM I have had so far has taught me to listen to the wisdom of my body, by connecting with my breasts I have been able to connect to my essence and to feel the power in my tenderness and preciousness.

     1. Isn’t it strange that there is a force attempting to block this precious reconnection?
        Few women would not want what you have experienced and described here, Annelies.
        Truly a modality for the times.

409. Andy I can feel the love and tenderness you hold the women in your life on reading your blog. Very inspiring to hear/read a man express in this way. And very apt that the call to stop the abuse and mistreatment and misinterpretation of women’s breasts, has come from a man. After all us men have a lot to take responsibility for, in the way we have tried to control women through ownership of the female breast. I agree that it is time that this stops and women be given the space and grace to claim back their breasts and their bodies and their divine presence. We have so much to gain and nothing to lose if they do this.

     1. Your words are appreciated Andrew.
        For myself, I have tried to control women through my fear of rejection and their power to ‘hurt’ me.
        Their depth and stillness reminds me of what I am not; of what I have allowed to control ME…
        As the women reclaim their glory we as men have more to gain than all the riches in the world.
        And as you say, nothing really to lose.

410. Great article Andy, the respect for the women you have in your life shines through in your writing.
     As a woman, I am hardly surprised breasts have become objects to be used in whatever fashion society sees fit, as it seems to me and is my personal experience, that women are disconnected to their breasts and tend to ignore them.
     I am glad to say this is changing for me and many others I know, with the help of the Esoteric Breast Massage and with the new awareness, we can have a different relationship with our breasts and see them as something to be embraced and not ignored.

     1. I can also share your view Julie, how with the support of Esoteric Breast Massage I have developed new awareness of myself as a woman, how I express as a woman, and how I live as a woman. I have been so disconnected to my breasts and myself that to reverse this pattern is something I am embracing whole-heartedly, and in feeling the resulting changes, it is nothing short of miraculous.

     2. Thanks Julie.
        Whole women… lots of them… now that really would be something not seen for a long, long time. All that light and fiery truth!
        I’m sweating just thinking about it…. fire it up I say!

411. Andy. A wonderful article, and the way you hold your wife and daughters in the light as beautiful women, and not objects for men to ogle.

     1. Mike, all my life it’s been easy to ‘talk the talk’, but it’s the real deal to walk it on the earth. Still the old ways sometimes rear their head, but the glory of the (age old) new way far surpasses anything in my living memory. Bring it on!!

412. Beautifully expressed Andy. For too long now women’s breasts have been seen as nothing more than a commodity, an easy way to make some money but articles like this, surely but slowly, will certainly help to change that perception.

     1. More so Tim when gentlemen like yourself spread the word through your expression and your beingness…..
        And for all of us males if we can break an entrenched pattern and look every woman straight in the eye rather than lowering our vision (and ourselves) to stare at their chests instead, we’ll be very honoured and graced by what we see.

413. “Universal Medicine is the organisation that dared to go there: the one group that despite ridicule and loathing, identified that major disconnection, then answered the call by presenting the modality (the Esoteric Breast Massage) and training the dedicated female practitioners to begin the process of reconnection and reclamation of the essence of femaleness in form”
     This is such an apt place to bring this up. It is what is so great about Universal Medicine, it responds to what is needed at the time and will ensure that everybody is supported equally through the process. Their work is an inspiration to many and as you say the connection felt wakes up and deepens many.

     1. So true what you say Jenny. In a world ironically enslaved by the cults of individuality and ‘me-tooism’ at the same time, Universal Medicine offers the antidote of connection, first within and then with out… and how deep you go is entirely up to you.

414. I have reclaimed my breasts too. Something I have never said before and it feels so gorgeous. I have learnt to appreciate my breasts as a woman and now feel them as a celebration of me and who I am. Thank you for such a great and powerful and fun blog, Andy. It feels so love​l​y that this is written by a man too. I am so used to talking about these things with women. This is a revolution indeed and a privilege to be walking the Earth on this return.
     ​

     1. Elaine, every single person who reclaims their totality from the meagre crumbs we have been fed for so long makes an enormous difference – to themselves, and so to the whole: this is a difference that I can easily and deeply feel when reading your joy-full annunciation. What a time it is to be a student of this way of being!! And such a joy.

415. Your words are powerful Andy. What a gentle-man you are with deep wisdom. Yes the true woman is back nurturing, beautiful and divine. A great healing indeed.

     1. Maryline, what a privilege it is to be walking the Earth during this return. And the real men are returning too.

        1. This is true, Andy. The return of men and women expressing and communicating from their essence of tenderness, love, openness and honesty is wonderful to feel. To feel this from yourself and other men is divine.

     2. Hear hear Maryline, it’s the beginnings of a truly beautiful revolution.

416. Andy such an incredible and truthful blog. I was one of those women whose breasts belonged to everyone else but me! The Esoteric Breast Massage has enabled me not only to recalim my breasts as mine but to feel deeply the depths of the incredibly beautiful and sacred women I am. It is a modality that has the potiental for women to change completley how they feel about themselves and as a consequence everyone they come into contact with.

     1. Sharon, your words ‘ It is a modality that has the potiental for women to change completely how they feel about themselves and as a consequence everyone they come into contact with’ indicate just how profound and far-reaching this modality is.
        And then when you consider where it came from, it is another everyday miracle from the everyday miracle factory. A great time to be alive really.

417. Great blog Andy! As men we do need to take responsibility in our part of what we created as the norm.

418. Taking the time to read all the comments again has given me the feeling that there is deep healing going on here – not just in myself, or in the men and women who are writing here, but in all women and men world-wide. It feels like a door has been opened for all of us to pass through, into a place where women can feel the need to nurture themselves, appreciate themselves and enjoy their own beauty and tenderness – and where men can feel the same. We are indeed, all equal.

     1. No doubt about it Carmel… everything we do makes a difference to the whole. Everywhere, every time!
        Now that’s a responsibility that is sacred indeed.
        A responsibility that is not a burden, but a joy.

     2. Well expressed, Carmel.

419. Andy your words from a man about a women’s breasts, not related to any on your opening list of what the world has taken as the norm, is ground breaking and long over due. As men we are the ones to stand up and stop what we created as a norm.

     1. “As men we are the ones to stand up and stop what we created as a norm.”… that’s a powerful statement and I am imagining the power of change as more and more men express in the same way as the men here in this blog have done.

     2. So glad that you will stand with me on this. Every extra man who steps up is pure gold: it is fully felt throughout the whole, as well as by the women in particular.

     3. A great point, Steve, it’s not just the outcome here of women losing themselves, it’s a society-wide issue created by both sexes.

420. Awesome,courageous writing Andy, on the way we as society and individuals have allowed women’s bodies to become like a commodity. To use,abuse and sell etc.

     In allowing this we all lose out, men as well, on the sacred-ness and stillness that women hold deep within.
     It’s a relief that someone is standing up and calling it as it is.

     What an inspiration, and amazing role models, Serge Benhayon and his Students truly are.

     1. What beautiful words, Thomas, ‘ . . . the sacred-ness and stillness that women hold deep within.’

     2. Thomas, it is a pleasure to me that you add your gracious voice to this issue.
        Courage in expression was not something that I could deliver only a short time ago: I too draw great inspiration from Serge Benhayon and the other students – more so as I become acutely aware of where everyone has come from, and what they have had to overcome to be where they are today.

421. How truly blessed we are as women to have a man write these words and for all the comments thereafter. Andy, you too are leading the way with this for men. All that you say here is true, and as a woman I can attest to feeling the impact of this on my own relationship with my breasts, and as a woman. Yet I am realising more and more that I have a choice to allow this to affect me or not.

     1. Anna, so many do not realise we have that choice. A great blessing it is!
        When we stay true, much is revealed.

422. Thankyou for your beautiful expression and appreciative honouring of every woman Andy. I also appreciate the comments made by the men here. Your tenderness and love shine through. On each re-reading of this blog I feel a deeper level of love and self-acceptance and yes, sacredness, every time.

     1. So great Sue that you can use the blog to find greater depth in yourself.
        I have a feeling that it’s one very deep pool.

423. “Universal Medicine is the organisation that dared to go there..” and so have you. With deep appreciation for everything you have shared here Andy. I have read your blog several times and the comments that have come from it – I am sitting with it all, allowing all that has been expressed to be deeply felt. As a woman, I feel honoured to the bone. Evil runs its course until someone makes a stand and says ‘no more.’ This blog, and its ripple effects, marks a significant point for both women and men, the beginning of our amazing transformation back to what has always been ours to claim.

     1. Thank you Susan and Naren for your perception and presence… the comments here are like a rose with a thousand petals, each as it reveals engendering another, then another, in a cascade of beautiful self claiming.
        And Susan, ‘the beginning of our amazing transformation back to what has always been ours to claim.’ About time I would think….. certainly for me, about time.

424. This is a beautiful honouring of all women. The love that you feel is felt in each word you have written. Thank you for this, Andy!

425. This blog is amazing and now to come back later and read all the comments, I feel appreciated to a new level and want to thank everyone for their part in what is shared here.

     1. Hear hear Rosie. The comments have transported me into many worlds; places of redemption and purpose, healing and acceptance, new depths of understanding and renunciation. Road trip with a difference!
        Exploring in, not out…. Way to go!!

426. It’s amazing reading this blog and all the replies. Thank you everyone for sharing so honestly. Many, many amazing words. But the one word that I am pondering most deeply is ‘breasts’. For me it’s all in that word. I can feel it as I say it. There are two ways of saying it (actually there are zillions – but I’ll try to keep it simple!).

     If you say it from the space that Andy has so clearly catalogued – all those other people who claim to own a woman’s breasts – then it has such a dead, cold, abusive, factual, (chicken breast) feeling to it. Yet if I connect to the truth, to the power within them, to the beauty that they nurture, to….well…I can’t really do justice to them…then the word has such a power and quality that I almost don’t want to say it, for fear of sullying it….the word becomes like a piece of treasure…a revered and sacred piece of treasure…..just saying it stops me in my tracks and puts me into wonder at the glory of women. One day soon….the word will not be bandied around so openly and freely by all and sundry with zero respect or awareness that they are not talking about a piece of anatomical, anonymous, flesh, but are talking about…..true treasure, a gateway to the GOLD of all women. With deep appreciation of all women.

     1. I love your comment Otto, I can feel how lost we are as society that the so called norm is your first option that is to view breasts merely as a piece of flesh. Once one is in that consciousness one can’t feel the amazingness of a woman, or the amazingness of a man either for that matter.

     2. Otto, I just feel to say thank you. It is rare for women to view their own breasts in this way and so it gives even more beauty and power when a man can stand here and say what every woman truly wants to have understood and recognised of her. All the men that see and feel a woman’s breasts your way and say so, are repairing what all those others have shouted from the scaffolding or planned in the design agency boardrooms etc.

     3. Wow Otto, it feels like you have tuned into the very energy of nurturing, way beyond the physical representation, where very few have yet been.
        Your reverence and awe indicate that this is a magnificent energy indeed….. maybe as old as creation itself. Thanks for the preview into another world that I know will one day be second nature to me.
        And I absolutely share your appreciation.

        1. Otto I love what you’ve shared, wow, you so capture the sacredness that is women in how you describe how we can use the word breasts. I feel absolutely touched and truly honoured by your sharing and your appreciation. And Andy thank you for creating the space for these sharings.

     4. Wow, Otto, I am deeply touched by your words and the awareness they bring, even as a woman I have had difficulty saying ‘breasts’ let alone appreciate my own, you have brought a deeper meaning, a sacredness to the word, thank you.

     5. I feel so deeply honoured by this comment Otto, and I feel I can speak for all women in saying this. What you have expressed so beautifully is something that I have often pondered on. Why I have at times reacted when the word is spoken so loosely or care-lessly. The truth is the breasts are truly sacred as is the word when spoken from a point of love. It is a word that feels full, all encompassing and truly beholden.

        1. Thank you Anna for putting into words exactly what I am feeling so deeply after pondering on Otto’s comment regarding the use of the word ‘breasts’ – As you state ‘It is a word that feels full, all encompassing and truly beholden’.

     6. Wow, Otto what a golden statement to make and a truly, deeply, honouring one for all women everywhere! What a blessing I came across this blog and with all the comments in addition I have found it to be one of the most deeply healing pieces of writing I have yet read! I have acutely felt and been so hurt by the way men, across all countries, generally have spoken about women and treated us. (Yes, as women we need to take some responsibility for this because we allowed it to happen!) But, these comments are like a field of wild flowers restoring balance, harmony and grace between the relations of men and women everywhere. To be so honoured by men in one blog has healed this lifetime in me and the more lives lived of the dishonouring. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing.

     7. Gorgeous comment Otto. Yes we need to re-claim the word ‘breasts’. It has been totally abused, but the true beauty of women’s breasts shine through the word when it is said in an honouring way. Thank you for being a man who deeply honours women.

427. Thank you for writing about this very “hot” subject so honestly, and exposing the beliefs and prejudices of our society, Andy. I feel so loved and understood by a gentle man, it helps me to heal those hurts I felt when my breasts were owned or abused in the past, and encourages me to claim my ownership, and express it!

     1. Joan, feeling your words fully is simply a joy. And who would want more?

428. It’s very humbling to feel the difference as we make changes to the way we now live and think, we can feel a very different future coming to us.

     1. Yes Gill,
        it gives me a different perspective on time altogether – the past, present and future have a totally different relationship to me now. Setting the future by connecting to the present is so cool!

429. And thank you Rebecca. What with the way I used to live and think,…. I definitely owed you all at least that. Now I deeply appreciate your words.

430. It is so gorgeous to hear and feel a man expressing in this way. I can feel your deep honouring of women in your words and it is beauty-full. On behalf of all women – Thank you.

431. Very well written Andy I can feel how smoothly these words flowed out of you. As a father of a daughter it is great to know that there are role models such as your daughters and women of truth for my little girl to observe, and chose for herself the path or influences she allows in.
     There is so much rubbish that we are all bombarded with everyday and the simplicity can at times be missed.

     1. So true Daniel – the unsurpassed beauty of simplicity is commonly overlooked…. and vastly underrated.
        As we live the future now the way becomes luminous for our children to make the clear choice exemplified by these role models we are blessed with.

        1. ‘As we live the future now the way becomes luminous for our children to make the clear choice exemplified by these role models we are blessed with.’ what beautiful words Andy, and a great reminder that we can light the way for future generations by how we live the future now.

432. Fiona, I echo your thanks and appreciation of the commenters, yourself included.
     Integrity – noun. 2. the state of being whole and undivided.
     I’d missed the real meaning of that word until I met those guys and truly felt my fragmentation.
     Now I’ve lost count of the blessings.

433. I have seen in many young girls (who are not yet identified by their breasts) a pure and simple joy in being a girl. There seems to be a natural delicacy and a playfulness within their own bodies. And I have felt and observed for myself that we as women lack the sense of a loving relationship with our own bodies and especially with our breasts.

     I am now finding that by re-learning to cherish myself as a woman first, my body is naturally returning to its own delicacy and a feeling of being whole again –The pure and simple joy of being a woman.

     1. And the joy you feel is there for the whole world to feel too.
        Another woman liberated…. superb, Shami

434. Andy there is something about this blog that just blows me away, I think perhaps because these amazing truths are coming not from a woman, but from a man. The love and respect and deep honouring I can feel you have for your daughters and wife is incredible, but not just for them, the respect you deeply hold for all women to write this – Wow. It is incredible.
     You are right, we have sold out as women, allowed ourselves to be owned by many different things, when ultimately we were never for sale. It’s time to really claim back our own bodies and let out that truly powerful beautiful woman again.

     1. Claimed women AND claimed men.
        Hallelujah!!!
        And we don’t have to imagine it, we ARE it when we let it be.

435. That’s so true Michael there is such a strength in honouring the tenderness in men. It is time that women let go of acting tough and come back to their true essence. Beautiful to feel that this will give permission for men to do the same.

436. I love your comment on ‘the battle of the existingness’, Andy. It was a battle for sure, and we can now get out there and show others a different way by articles like this. It’s so full of truth about the misinterpretations and reinterpretations of our way of feeling what parts of our bodies are for.

     1. A battle all right, and like any battle, a hugely exhausting drain.
        Phew!!!

437. This blog really makes it obvious just how ridiculous society can get, to even be at the point where we are obsessed with a body part such as women’s breasts, and even as a man I have questioned how looking at a certain body part can affect my emotions and ‘turn me on’ in the first place. It’s not like guys get aroused by elbows. Regardless, I have witnessed a similar level of healing and true nurturing that my wife has had as a result of the Esoteric Breast Massage modality offered by Universal Medicine practitioners. I love how you have also claimed how this will one day be available around the world. It’s time women let go of feeling like they need to act tough and hard like men to ‘succeed’ in the world. Then us men can follow suit and realise we too don’t need to walk around with a shield of toughness to protect ourselves from getting hurt, and that there is a strength in honoring our natural tenderness.

     1. Yes Michael, what a world we create when we realise our true strength IS our natural tenderness.
        Elbows? Hmmm… on the right person……

438. This would be an amazing blog if it were written by a woman but for a man to write this beautiful piece is truly inspiring. Thank you Andy

     1. Judy, I feel it needed to be written by a man to acknowledge and renounce our large part in this catastrophe – and that is not too severe a word to describe the setting of half of humanity against the other half, as well as setting women against themselves.

439. Hi Andy I love the way you have written this, a much needed conversation that you have started. The question feels much more powerful coming from a man, and I love that so many men have responded to your call. It is a question that needs to be asked and like you say you have just scratched the surface.

     1. Let the conversation spread far and wide, and penetrate deep below the surface.
        And let many more men join in!!
        We must heal this or we will remain earthbound… out of place and trapped in time.

440. Hi Andy, It’s been ten days since I wrote my last comment on your blog and I have to express the profound healing your blog gave me. I have attended many Women’s groups and have had many EBM’s but there was still always a shut down feeling to accepting myself as a woman. The head said ‘I accept myself as a woman’, but my body didn’t follow by letting go.

     As a girl I shut myself down by the hurt I felt, observing how men interacted with women and how especially as a group they held a prowling, leery energy towards women. I felt the seediness in their interactions. Subconsciously I suppressed my own development as a woman as I did not want to have any part in that. My breasts are small and I still dressed to hide. I didn’t want to be noticed by men as I didn’t want to attract any negative attention.

     The way you have honored your beautiful daughters and your wife and also all women everywhere, including myself by writing your blog, has been the key that has unlocked the acceptance and appreciation of my body and self as a woman. These words do not do justice to the shift in me that they gave. To be so honored by the gentleman that you are, is like you have spoken on behalf of all men to women. I thank you sincerely from the bottom of my heart for your words and for your healing. I can truly say that I now appreciate myself as the beautiful woman that I am… I feel safe to be a woman again and not hide anymore! I can say again that ‘To claim breasts back as our deep nurturing centres and reclaim them as the essence of the female form is extraordinarily powerful’.

     1. Rachel, I have sat with your comment for some days as it has shaken me to my core: I was lost for a reply. A healing process has been instigated by your words that is in many ways parallel to that which you have described in yourself… I feel that your healing has made room for further expansion of awareness within myself.
        For me, the ‘power of expression’ has until now been something that I held ‘in my head’, a concept that I heard many times but did not fully embody….. that is, until I read your astonishingly beautiful claiming of yourself as the glorious woman you are.
        And by this you call me to fully claim the beautiful expressive man that I am.
        So the voice comes in… “watch the footy, eat something comforting – quickly, trawl the internet looking for information, waste time here, there…” Anything to stop me expressing from Who I Am. But now the voice is transparent, and somewhat squeaky, much easier to ignore.
        Thank you deeply.
        PS. Who was that guy who said “Expression is Everything”? He was RIGHT!!!

        1. Wow, Andy! It’s truly amazing isn’t it how the healing and depth continues, ripples and expands. I received the first healing from reading your amazing blog. The second healing was expressing what the healing was! The third now comes from reading your reply, I feel a deeper solidness that has come from my own expression of the first healing! How amazing that you too have received a healing and expansion from my words and have claimed yourself more deeply as a man… Our sharing is true divinity at play and very beautiful! The deepening continues as I can so relate to what you say “watch the footy… (in my case another episode of Frasier!) eat something comforting – quickly, trawl the internet looking for information, waste time here, there…” Anything to stop me expressing from Who I Am. I appreciate your deep thanks and can reply by a deep thanks in return. I don’t know, who was that guy who said “Expression Is Everything”? He is RIGHT isn’t he!

        2. Rachel, your comments have struck a very deep chord in me as has your reply Andy.
           As Rachel says – The way you have honored your beautiful daughters and your wife and also all women everywhere, including myself by writing your blog, has been the key that has unlocked the acceptance and appreciation of my body and self as a woman.
           I too, am experiencing a deep healing from this bringing more acceptance of myself as the beautiful woman I am.
           Heartfelt appreciation.

441. Hi Andy, this is such a great article and causes me to reflect on the beliefs I had about my own breasts being a plaything for others – the words ‘a bit of a grope’ conjure up feelings of total self-loathing but ‘going along with it’ in order to be liked. How beautiful it feels to let go of that and see them now in the light of their warm, nurturing energy, and how great that young women of today have an opportunity to learn a different way of being with their bodies.

     1. Toy girl no more Carmel, true ownership re-established… Bravo!
        So great for ALL women today to have an opportunity to learn a different way of being…..when we don’t hold back, we illuminate the path, as you are doing.

442. Powerful beyond anything we can imagine I suspect. The women are BACK!!!

     1. Yeah to that!

443. A-h-h-h-h-h-h, the breath, such a great place to begin. And there’s no doubting the simple equation you propose… bankrupt citizens = bankrupt society. Light the way Amina.

444. Ryan, the conversation is a pleasure, and the gifts are deeply appreciated daily.
     And I’m amazed too – every day I’m astounded by something or other….. the gift that keeps on giving. . . .

445. What an amazing article Andy, and to be written with such understanding from a man is truly healing and honouring! The words that jumped out at me were “alienated” and “abandoned”. How we as women we have become so alienated from our breasts that the consideration isn’t there that they belong to each individual woman. We have cut ourselves off from our true expression as women. To claim breasts back as our deep nurturing centres and reclaim them as the essence of the female form is extraordinarily powerful.

446. Awesome article, well written.

     1. Thank you – the simple pleasure of expression has come as a revelation

        1. Yes for me too Andy – the joy in expressing truth has absolutely been a revelation.

447. Thank you Andy for this truly beautiful article with so much love and appreciation and respect for women and their natural essence and the deep appreciation of your amazing family. Really touching and a joy to know and read.
     A deep thank you also to Universal Medicine for the Esoteric Breast massage modality which has helped myself and so many other women and is available for every woman to support reconnection to their natural essence and breasts, truly and deeply.

     1. Universal Medicine… not a bitter pill at all but a Way of Living that supersedes any remedy known to man.

     2. I agree Tricia. This article is a joy to read. Women also need to reconnect to feeling their breasts as a natural part of of their essence and expression. This will stop men, politicians, the media etc from misinterpreting the true beauty of a woman’s breasts.

448. Very well written article Andy you covered so much and addressed a lot of issues. As men we obviously have a lot to answer for in these matters and this is a great lead to inspire the way forward.

     1. Kev, we do have a lot to answer for, but that’s just the beginning. . . . . so much to do, and so much fun to have while doing it.

     2. … and as women Kevin we have a lot to answer for too as we have allowed it to happen and have not claimed our sacredness loud enough. Thank you for your comment prompting me to express this.

449. What’s really fascinating about this well written blog about a women’s sacred relationship (or lack of) with their breasts, is that I feel it extends in many ways to every part of a woman’s body and every part of a man’s body. Gentlemanly and direct, great job Andy in stirring awareness in all who’ve read.

     1. So right Oliver, the disconnection is total as the disregard is all-pervasive. The best part is, as we find our way back, our light paves the way for others to return. Very cool!

450. I love your expression Andy, thank you for your light touch…very much appreciated.
     When I was 15 with my boyfriend and his friend, he told me to ‘stand up, look down and see if I could see my feet. With my small breasts my feet were clearly visible. The boys roared with laughter and I didn’t grasp the ‘joke’ mentally, but I did take it on emotionally.
     After becoming a student of Universal Medicine and having the Esoteric Breast Massage I began to re-connect with love and in tenderness to my own breasts.

     1. Jacky, these casually cruel putdowns are just a ‘normal’ way of being in the ‘existingness’ – as you know too well. Your courage to share this event is deeply felt by me, as is my joy at your reconnection to your love and tenderness.

451. I love it Andy and I LOVE my breasts too. Recently I have been giving myself esoteric breast massages with esoteric breast massage cream most nights. It’s beautiful to feel myself going to sleep in this way, feeling the softness of my skin and my breasts and the warmth they emanate. As a result they are starting to change shape and even a recent lump is reducing. I couldn’t have started to reconnect with this beautiful part of my body without the support of Esoteric Breast Massage Practitioners – Sara Williams and Mary-Louise Myers. Truly amazing!

     1. Miraculous in fact! Energy. . . we haven’t even scratched the surface. . .

452. This blog is so beautifully composed out of “normal” context. I truly love the fact it has been put together by a gentleman supporting all women, an awesome example of the reality of humanity…there are no barriers just temporal impositions. I am inspired…

     1. Phill, isn’t it fun demolishing the ‘temporal impositions’? Sure beats an old pastime of mine… ‘getting wasted’ What an utter waste that was!

     2. A very loving gentle man, with a deep connection to himself to be able to write such an inspiring blog.

453. The article was beautiful and extremely powerful for women and men. This shows how breasts have been mis-treated from husbands, to politicians, to religions. A great exposure of how we as a society, largely have had no or little respect for women. Thank you for your deep honesty.

     1. Ben, no true respect for ourselves and then no respect for women…. or anything else for that matter. Injustice, war, poverty and planetary rape abound, but the marginalisation and abuse of half the population – the female half – surely is the most pressing issue to address: it is Universal Medicine that lights the way in the restoration of TRUE equality.

     2. Well said Ben – great point about how women’s breasts have been mistreated in every aspect of life. It’s not just in areas that are commonly seen that they are taken advantage of, such as in magazines/newspapers like The Sun.

        1. Surely true Jess… and my list was a mere starting point.

     3. A mouth full of sawdust!?! I’m choking on that one just thinking about how I used to be… and way in agreement with what you say about connection.

454. Absolutely amazing Andy, we have lost our way as a society when it comes to a woman’s breasts! Breasts have become a commodity and what you have written brings the truth right back at us. This is ground breaking as it is showing us that our “norm” is not true, that it is huge disservice to the woman. Thank you for putting this into perspective.

     1. Samantha, I feel it is no coincidence that a loss of connection with and abuse of the nurturing centre is rampant, as nurturing is an indispensable facet of our lives. Without it, any form of depredation is possible. We have been given the tools of healing and now the reclaimed women such as yourself are the ‘new normal’.

        1. Thank you, Andy. It is important for us all to consider what you say here, that there is an intelligence behind why our nurturing centres have been objectified to this extreme – to de-nature us from living and expressing the quality which would naturally turn the world around and bring us all back to love. Thank goodness that Universal Medicine has dared to say – ‘no more’.

     2. Samantha I completely agree.

     3. Amazingly well said Sam, I agree, this is ground-breaking. Our normal as a society is definitely not normal.

     4. Agree 100%. Our ‘normal’ is not true. Our ‘normal’ needs to be totally and utterly redefined. This blog, this conversation, the work of Universal Medicine and all the amazing practitioners who are offering the Esoteric Breast Massage and ALL the AMAZING women who are receiving it and reclaiming their breasts and their innate beauty are doing exactly that…..redefining ‘normal’. My deepest appreciation of all of you. You are an inspiration to me and to the whole world.

        1. Absolutely Otto and Meg. Our normal has come to be defined by what commonly occurs rather than any sort of ethical or loving standard. The fact that women are being supported to take true care of their bodies is something that should obviously be welcomed and should also be clearly defined as something that is truly ‘normal’.

     5. Yes Janet….. and that we dare to take up the call and stay with Truth this time.

455. Thank you Andy, for such a loving piece of writing and acknowledgement and appreciation of Universal Medicine, the practitioners and Serge Benhayon.

     1. I share your appreciation Jonathan, and am in awe every day of our blessings.

     2. I agree, Jonathan. And, beautifully put Heather.

456. This is such a wonderful exposing article about the way society thinks and I have allowed and accepted to be, especially because it’s written by a man. It brings up all the past beliefs I also had about my own breasts that are now so precious and nurturing to me.

     1. Beliefs that I feel you are happy to consign to the dustbin of history… relics of ‘The Battle of the Existingness’.

        Bring on ‘The Way of the Livingness’ and let it roll…..

     2. Yes Gill, me too. Societies attitudes to women and their breasts have been so deeply degrading for so long and this just reflects the disregard we have held for ourselves, equally as long.
        Thank you Andy for this beautiful blog of appreciation, and to Universal Medicine and practitioners for guiding us back to the truth.

        1. Heather, your statement that “this just reflects the disregard we have held for ourselves, equally as long.” is the healing ingredient…. the honesty that is required to make real and lasting change by letting go of what we are not. Absolutely awesome!!

        2. Totally Andy – letting go and re-claiming our true beauty and divinity which has always been there! 🙂

457. Wow Andy this is a joy to read. You beautifully expose as Monica says, the ridiculousness of what we have allowed to be. How crazy that the most beautiful and nurturing part of our bodies has become commodified in such contrast to the tenderness that they naturally emanate. Thank you.

     1. Emanate…. now there’s a word that is a continent in itself.

        I would agree, but say ‘a most beautiful and nurturing part’…. in case your other bits get jealous. You are undoubtably all beautiful Anne Marie.

        1. I agree Andy, beautifully said 🙂

458. Dear Andy, I am so moved by your words…(tears). It is so powerful, feeling you as a man, who is clear enough to understand the world’s harshness on women’s breasts and to respect the true beauty and nurturing qualities of your partner and daughters… wow. That alone is like an earthquake in my body that shakes loose all the hurt of not having felt that for so long. Your words bring a sharp awareness of what I have felt my whole life (lives) in disconnection and all the dis-empowerment and pain that I have allowed… all from the perspective of my breasts! How I’ve treated them, thought about them, allowed others to treat them and the bad feelings I’ve taken in from being too contracted not to allow the world to judge and use them in a wrong side out way. Reading your words I can feel the joy and beauty of the women in your life unfurling and the grace they radiate with the power of women’s naturally nurturing essence. I have had two Esoteric Breast Massages and I know how supportive and healing they are. I now feel so motivated to get to England soon and receive a series of them to assist me on my path to recovering back to my fullness as a woman! Thank you.

     1. Jo, your heart-opening comment reveals your rediscovered but profound appreciation that the body, so long abused and ignored, can indeed be “a Temple of the Soul”, a vehicle which can express a beauty beyond our wildest imaginings.

        And as you have so accurately stated, the Esoteric Breast Massage modality is there and is applied as a means for You to heal Yourself, as it does when Your choice makes it so. Such a contrast to many allopathic and ‘alternative’ techniques, which purport to ‘cure’ you, whether you like it or not. This is not to criticise the brilliance of triage and restorative medicine, but it clearly shows that these methods leave intact the underlying energy that caused the symptom, or more deeply buries it, inevitably to rise again in more pernicious forms.

        As Serge Benhayon has stated many times – this will bankrupt the Health Care (Sickness Management) Systems of many countries and also reveal the utter irresponsibility of the patients who rely on such systems to heal them, in spite of their actions and way of living.

        Women like you cast a light on the folly of that way.

459. This blog was such a joy to read. Truly awesome – thank you.

460. Very beautifully expressed Andy. The power of women loving themselves as they are, and pouring love into every part of the body is truly profound. There are so many factors in life telling women that they are not enough, not pretty enough, not the right body, breasts too small, too big, not the right shape… everything designed to reduce self worth and make women strive to live up to an ideal. And yet there is the most profound beauty, right below the surface, in every woman (no matter of age or physical appearance) and it just needs to be fostered. The Esoteric Breast Massage has been such a beautiful support for women to discard the outer ideals and begin to love themselves for who they are. As men we are blessed and get to celebrate the self-worth, confidence, power, vitality and grace of these amazing women in our lives. It is a beautiful reflection to be in the presence of a woman who loves herself deeply. It confirms our knowing as men that we are these strong and tender loving qualities equally so.

     1. Jonathan and all the men commenting on this blog, so cool to have you share how amazing the Esoteric Breast Massage has supported to re-connect to your equal tenderness and beauty. True joy.

        1. I totally agree with your words, Natalie!

     2. Jonathan, I can but echo your breathtakingly beautiful and respect-full words… you have shared a comment that is a blog in itself. I so embrace this conversation! To be graced with the company of such men as yourself, who can appreciate the scope of what is here offered and live it daily, is an abiding joy that rides unruffled beyond the ups and downs of everyday life. Breath-making indeed.

461. Amazing blog Andy. It’s all the more powerful for having been written by a man. Thank you for expressing truth so beautifully.

     1. Lucy, it is a joy to be empowered to express in this way, thanks to ‘the work’ we do.

        As for the ‘man’ bit – well, I was born like that, but I’m gradually getting used to it.

462. Thanks Andy, so beautiful to feel the way you speak about your daughters – you are an absolutely inspiring example of a loving man and Dad: here’s to one day all Dads being like you! Having had Esoteric Breast Massage myself, it was a fantastic marker of how I lived my life 100% in my head and neglected my body. However that said it was beautiful and loving which is in stark contrast to when I had an Ayurvedic massage where I was told I had to be naked (after my insistence of this not being ok I finally got some paper knickers to wear!) and the whole time I was contracting feeling like I had just paid someone a lot of money to grope me! The EBM was just 100% nurturing, performed by a lady and I was not naked – an all round supportive, honouring and deeply loving experience, one which I will build on with more EBMs to come.

     1. Hello Rachael; if I’d been that dad when my girls were young, things may not have been so out of control. I can’t change the past but I can be ‘present and future dad’ now – by staying true – and in that I enjoy the great support of all of you, as you have mine.

        Your comment graphically highlights the incomparable integrity of the Universal Medicine practitioners and modalities – an integrity that will one day be base level in practices worldwide. As for the 100% head trip… say no more, say no more. Self imprisonment alas!

        1. What Andy presents here is huge. For a long time he was in the sadness and misery of the choices to not be the tender, loving and engaged in life/family man that he knew himself to be. This would then lead to an underlying anxiousness, a reliance on being in the head to get by and a consistent reliance on alcohol as he laid out in the article The L-o-o-o-o-n-g Weekend (Is Universal Medicine a Good Investment? You Bet!). But even after he had given up the drink he was still very much in the depression and sadness of the previous choices to not allow the wonderful man that he is, out. Andy is not perfect today, nor does he claim to be, but he is no longer in the regret of the past; rather he is a living example that it is never too late to turn our lives around by starting to bring out our true loving qualities. And now not only does our family get to experience Andy’s tenderness, wisdom, warmth and steadiness, it is everyone who he comes into contact with in his day, and everyone who is graced by reading the blogs he writes or the songs he sings. With the choices he has made I know that he inspires many.

463. Thank you Andy for a very powerful, revealing and much needed blog.

464. Thanks Andy, what a lovely blog and to feel how crazy ridiculous and very real those ownership claims are. And best of all to feel the tenderness in you as you write this and speak of how your daughters and wife have overcome these. Brilliant.

     1. Monica, I feel privileged to express this way, from having been so confused and self-isolated. But I must point out that we are all ‘works in progress’, and I for one have not fully “overcome” anything: though I cannot speak for the women, there is much to do… and if we don’t do it, who will?

        1. Of course Andy, we are indeed all works in progress and allowing more and more love as we go and absolutely as you say if we don’t do it who will – what a privilege.

465. The tenderness you speak of your daughters and women is so beautiful.

466. Thank you Andy for a beautiful article.

467. Andy, thank you for your blog. I was amused by the list of crazy claims to ownership of breasts and was nodding away and then I read “I write now, as the father…”! I quickly scrawled down to the name of the writer for proof that this was written by a man! Wow thank you again. This is so healing – not only a gorgeous acknowledgement and honouring, but to have the tenderness of a man in relation to this area. I feel so blessed to have first met Serge Benhayon, then the other male members of his family Michael Benhayon and Curtis Benhayon, who have all been so completely honouring and supportive with absolute love from day one. And now I am finding that more and more men in the Universal Medicine student body are expressing the same, and I am so moved. It is deeply confirming of the amazingness that we, the whole of humanity, are in our essence. I cried when I read your blog. Thank you!

     1. Love your work Golnaz. What is blowing me away is feeling the STRENGTH in the tenderness that the Universal men are developing by their daily Livingness. The “strength” of physical or intellectual dominance that we once relied on, pales in comparison as these are revealed as one dimensional imitations of the immense foundation that tenderness establishes as a means to ever greater connection and harmony: our work parallels that of the women regaining their true essence and makes for a joyous reunion.

468. Great blog – so true, everyone owns breasts except the woman.

     1. Unless you are a Universal Woman, or a very exceptional woman, or both. This is the beginning of reclaiming the birthright.

469. Wow – I love your openness in sharing this article and can really feel the appreciation and respect you have for your wife and daughters in the changes they have made in their lives. Truly Beautiful to read – Thank you!

     1. Thanks Julie, it already feels natural to have and hold that respect, and so naturally honouring. The reactive and learned behaviour that I presented for most of my life has faded fast as my fear of rejection and need for recognition no longer dominates… and my view of women as the ‘different other’ has become simply a relic of past ill-choices.

470. What an extraordinary, powerful and uplifting blog. It was a joy to read.

471. Wow, thank you, it is amazing to hear a man speak openly about the mistreatment of women’s breasts. It is inspiring to read your words.

472. Tony, when I was growing up I think it was the law that a woman must submit or it was grounds for annulment of marriage. The woman as a chattel.

     How would it be if every time we wished to make love we treated it as if it were the first time… the only time… and NEVER took it for granted or as a right. Now that would be honouring.

473. Yes thank you Andy for clearly articulating how far both women and us men with Universal Medicine have come to understand how owned we have been by what was fed to us all about breasts and women in general, – the enslaving energy and how it is used, that the world offers, is a tragedy to say the least. To witness the ongoing unfoldment of Universal Medicine women through Esoteric Breast Massage and how that has opened their bodies and lives to a lightness of being and the change in our relationships has been nothing short of a loving miracle. Evolution at play.

     1. So well said Paul… a loving miracle. True evolution, as opposed to involution, is the key to arresting the ‘bashing one’s head against a brick wall’ syndrome that humanity seems so masochistically determined to continue, despite the ‘wall’ being caked in the blood and flesh of our predecessors.

        Let’s keep calling it loud as we know it to be until Love is The Way.

474. Thank you Andy for a great expression and sharing the love and transformation with us all. It has been awesome to witness this transformation in you, your family and other women from this deeply healing modality. We are surely blessed.

     1. You’re right Greg, I haven’t seen anything like it in all my born days… blessed we are! And so much more to come…

475. This is such an inspired piece of writing. Humanity has been called on the way women and their breasts have been discounted and abused throughout the ages. Now, thanks to the female practitioners of Esoteric Breast Massage around the world, women have a way of being supported to reclaim the wondrous whole beings they are.

     However, there is also another side to this coin – the woman’s part in it all. Yes, females have been suppressed, denigrated and abused throughout history and still are in all, and most probably more ways than those outlined in this article, but it can’t all be laid at the feet of men. They say it takes ‘two to tango’ when talking about making love, so does it take two to tango when it is not of love. Women, too, have disconnected from their awesomeness and, in doing so, have let themselves be ‘silenced’ by it all…. but no more, thanks to Serge Benhayon and the student body of Universal Medicine showing us there is a truer way to be with each other in this world.

     1. So true Judith, by ‘vacating the space’ the inevitability of that space being invaded is set in place. Here’s to that truer way, the Way of the Livingness.

476. Abssolutely amazing, thank you Andy a beauty-full piece of work. Full of the respect and honour you have for your family and women everywhere. Truly refreshing to read.

477. Such a joy to read your blog Andy and the conversation that unfolds. So unlike what we see and hear about breasts in the world. This is groundbreaking and so very very healing especially it being expressed by a man. Thank you. I very much agree and can speak from my own experience, Esoteric Breast Massage is a revolutionary modality for women to re-connect with their breasts and with that with their whole bodies. A very special and honouring treatment to receive.

     1. Thanks Esther, it is truly a pleasure to engage in this conversation… and all the more blessed to hear the testament of women who have regained their bodies and their lives…

478. Thank you Andy for the tender and honouring way in which you speak about your daughters, your lovely wife and all women. Your revelations about how we as a society have used breasts for our own ends without any regard to the great impact this was having on our bodies, our planet and the universe. How self-abuse has become an indulgence to keep us away from who we truly are and the sacredness that we hold within.

     1. An indulgence it is… and when relinquished, our natural state – harmony – prevails. We don’t work for it… it is for us to be, or not to be (heard that somewhere)

        But how miserably tenacious we can be, to hang on to these scraps of identification in the face of our glory, and therein lies the work that we must do. AND LOVING IT!!

479. Andy, What another absolute cracker – again as with your last blog (The L-o-o-o-o-n-g Weekend (Is Universal Medicine a Good Investment? You Bet!)), I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry! You have such a practical style of writing that keeps these topics very, very real while at the same time exposing the consciousnesses held around strong held beliefs and ideals. Thank you for expressing on behalf of us all in the beautiful way that you do, and giving us all a moment to reflect on what we have bought into, and what we now have the opportunity to reclaim, and also to appreciate what we are now reflecting is possible to others. Thank you deeply.

     1. Connection… connection… connection. The Real Person’s guide to the future….

        Your comment has encapsulated a loving, concise view of our plight and what we do to rise above it by way of action and natural reflection.

480. I love to see how daughters can create this wonderful metamorphosis in men. Great post.

     1. Catherine, metamorphosis is a beautiful word to describe it. Just as the women are reclaiming themselves, I am gradually overcoming the emasculation that life has dealt me, and that I have embraced in order to be ‘accepted’. This emasculation leads to a hostility towards the world, women, and oneself… a recipe for conflict on every level. Through rediscovering my feeling side, the indispensable missing ingredient, the corrosive cynicism has fallen away and the butterfly of my true self is revealed. Universal Medicine rocks!!

        1. Could it be that this emasculation is the answer to much of the hostility and conflict we see around the world, especially where women are being abused so horrifically, and that by appreciating ourselves and each other we can create true harmony?

481. A wonderful piece of writing Andy. Women are surely beautiful when they reconnect to that innate essence and no one should be deprived of that.

     Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon are at the forefront when it comes to health and wellbeing for both men and women and truly inspire you to look after yourself in a sound and very practical loving way.

     1. That’s the key – a sound and very practical loving way… and SIMPLE!

482. Awesome Andy. How beautiful to feel your experience of the unfolding of the beautiful women around you. Thank you for sharing.

483. The RePo women are on the move!! Taking back what is theirs…

484. So amazing to read this honouring piece about women’s breasts and the modality Esoteric Breast Massage, which is truly life changing as I was able to experience myself. Even more amazing to discover at the end that this was written by you Andy!

     What a joy to feel this absolute honoring towards women from a man!

     The world is truly changing, there is a revolution going on a fundamental change to the way things were unnoticed by many but announced loudly by a few.

     1. Very true Judith. So honouring to find it was a man writing this piece, and for the honouring of your amazing daughters and women everywhere.

     2. That’s true Judith – despite all the wacko things happening in the world we can feel the impulse for REAL change… a TRUE revolution.

485. W O W, W O W, W O W. What a MAGNIFICENT piece of writing from a man. Are breasts (women, our own partner, mother, sisters, friends) to be made fun of, are to be used for own gain, are there to be owned by another… Or do they simply belong to the woman who’s simply living inside the body. Could it be that so many men don’t really know how to relate to women’s breasts. The beauty and stillness they truly represent is not wanted (in fact: chosen) to be felt, because that will bring up too (in fact: so) much hurt. And because it appears that no man chooses to truly feel how we as men relate / feel about women’s breasts, we choose to stay closed. Why not having the honesty and willingness to own up as men that we so love and adore women, but that we don’t know how to express that. And that we find it really difficult to open up because of the buried hurts. And by (continuously) closing off our hearts, words come out of our mouths without any truth about how we truly feel about women. Let’s start sharing and expressing. Thank you Andy for raising such an important subject.

     1. This blows the whole thing open and so clearly states why breasts are treated as they are by the majority of men in their attempts to avoid feeling their buried hurts. It’s no wonder women have forgotten, on the whole, what they bring to the table unless they are truly cherished and adored by the men they have in their lives.

     2. Well that pretty well sums up my life before my liberal dose of Universal Medicine. A deep seated fear of women (of their power to hurt me) that manifested in a variety of unsavoury behaviours, mainly ‘humorous’ derogations through bawdy songs and jokes, none of which brought me closer to women, or to my marooned self. Brilliantly expressed, thank you Floris.

486. Awesome article Andy, thank you!

487. Thank you Andy for presenting a man’s perspective and deep understanding of the impact Esoteric Breast Massages’s have on not only the women who commit to these sessions but on those who come into contact with their infectious joy. As a woman who has embraced this modality for its true healing I can certainly agree… we are the future now!

     1. … and what a future it is – in contrast to that which we have known….

488. Wonderful article for men and women everywhere. Powerful writing – and written by a man. Breasts belong to no one but their owner. Thank you for this Andy.

489. WOW Andy Baldwin, what an insightful, powerful and utterly illuminating account of what has indeed been made possible through the Universal Medicine taught Esoteric Breast Massage.

     The Esoteric Breast Massage (EBM) is a life-changing modality as you so eloquently and respectfully describe in relation to your daughters and I speak as one who delivers such a service to women. The integrity with which every aspect of training, practise and ongoing professional development takes place is exceptional by any standard, and is part of what ensures all women are graced with its proffered potential for healing and reclaiming the true beauty and divine essence inside every one of us.

     Thank you for this incredible account, all the more powerful expressed from the perspective of a man for his daughters… territory rarely trodden, let alone with such reverence and honour of what you have been witness to. Not to mention a damn good piece of writing which is a joy to read in itself!

     1. Jenny, you are the perfect match for the peerless professional integrity exhibited in this training and practice. Shine on!

490. Thank you Andy. Yes I have experienced the Esoteric Breast Massage many times. It has brought me a relationship with my breasts where I can feel their shape and roundedness and any changes. They have grown in size and are more or less the same size, whereas five years ago (before Esoteric Breast Massage) I was completely disconnected from my breasts, ignored that they were there and my left breast was noticeably smaller than my right breast. I thank Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine from the bottom of my heart for this gift sent from heaven. Without this modality I would never have come to know the woman I am today.

     1. All without surgery, but with Sergery (by those beautiful practitioners). Another miracle!

491. Thank you Andy. I feel the strength and power in your words… beautiful too for you, as a man, to be writing this way. This has a potential healing on many levels for those that care to read it.

492. Andy this is awesome for you to share. For all those claiming whose breasts they are this has a relentless imposition that you are bombarded with daily. I have been having the EBM’s regularly and have re-claimed back my breasts and the precious Woman that I Am – WOW what an experience – true Love for myself is forever my focus.

     1. Good for you Natalie. The bombardment goes on but you are impervious.

493. Great exposing article Andy, I fully agree with you. Breasts have been seen as objects, external to the woman, something that can be manipulated to get what she wants – either desire from another or to hide away. All the time cutting the woman off from herself. It is no wonder breast cancer rates are soo staggeringly high – in the UK alone in 2011 – ‘49,936 women and 349 men in the UK were diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in 2011’ – Cancer Research UK.

     1. James, how much worse can those numbers get before the penny drops?

        1. They keep getting higher every year, yet all that is championed is the increases in 5-year survival rates, one of the measures for success. Predominantly all the research is based on restoring the body back to a functioning state free of cancer rather than to a truly harmonious state. By focusing on function, far too often the cause of the cancer, the imbalance in the body which 1st led to it is overlooked, neglected and ignored.

494. Beautiful Andy – a list of all the ‘ownership’ of breasts and the female body, all the ‘for sale’ signs. Followed by such tender appreciation of your incredible, inspiring daughters as well as the consciousness dispelling love-in-action of Universal Medicine practitioners – all inspired by Serge Benhayon. It is no wonder that some are unable to deal with the awful reality of their vested interests or the depth of hurt they carry – Esoteric Breast Massage is truly an overturning of the money lender’s tables on one level and a pure reflection to all of us on another.

     1. And now the ‘Jamais Vendu’ signs are up… those who choose to reclaim their birthright through this modality light the way.

        And thanks, I never twigged what ‘turning the tables’ related to before.

495. Andy, you are awesome! I love how you share this so openly.

496. This is very powerful. This message should be essential reading for all girls and boys as they start secondary school.

497. It is gorgeous to feel the love and care and respect and appreciation from this man for his family and for all women.

498. What a call! After reading this, I felt it read like a call to arms or should I say “breasts”, to return to the natural nurturing woman, we as women, all long to be, live and express. Thanks Andy, and Hear, Hear!

499. Superb article Andy, every word carries weight and truth. As women we have allowed ourselves to be owned by many things in the world and thanks to Universal Medicine, we have been provided with a clear path back to re-claiming our truly nurturing and amazing selves. And it is truly joyful to witness. Thank you.

500. Andy, it is indeed joyful to hear you as a father have a true appreciation and acknowledgement of the beauty of your daughters in full – in every aspect and emanation. I agree that the modality of the Esoteric Breast Massage has a huge part in us as women being able to unfold what’s been hidden and shut away inside. A part of us that we have withheld for as long as it has been that man/society holds these views of our breasts and we believe what they say.

     1. Universal women… absolutely Awesome!!

501. It is beautiful to hear a father being able to see the joy in his daughters’ lives and I love how you refer to the roller coaster of life, which many see as normal. The esoteric breast massage modality has started a revolution, desperately needed by women, to help find our way out, and back to steady joyfulness that really is the true normal.

     You’re right – Serge Benhayon has had the guts to ‘go there’, simply because he knew women are in need, for that I will be forever appreciative of.

     1. Yes Suzanne…. a revolution that will change the world.

502. Amazing Andy. Thank you deeply – all men and women need to read this.

503. Andy, this is an absolutely beautiful expression of you and the love that you hold for your daughters and all women. Thank you for this piece, it will live long and support totally what you have shared about Esoteric Breast Massage and Serge Benhayon’s inspirational modalities being the future now.

504. What a great blog by the father of three beautiful women who have truly made changes in their lives. Many women have grown up treating their breasts as aliens, there for everybody else, but not as a precious part of themselves. Thanks to the treatments offered to women by the female practitioners at Universal Medicine clinics worldwide, these women are able to appreciate themselves in all their glory.

     1. Yes Carmel, the transformation is glorious indeed.

505. A brilliant piece Andy to expose the abnormal focus that society places on women’s breasts, And accolades to Universal Medicine for the foresight and wisdom to show women how to reclaim and lovingly reconnect to their bodies in full.

     1. And the energy palpably shifts with every reconnection. More accolades for Universal Medicine!

506. Beautifully said Andy! I can so feel your appreciation and your truth about this. We are on our way back to true beauty and true relationships now that the women are re-connecting to their nurturing essence… and now that there are men like you who are willing to go there too.

     1. Lyndy, there’s nothing that can stop us now.

507. Thanks for sharing this Andy. It’s great to hear from a man who appreciates the true connection women can have with our bodies and breasts.

     1. Jean, it’s a blessing to know women who have reconnected.

508. Wow Andy. Hearing a man nominate and express the many ways in which women have allowed themselves to be imposed upon, in relation to their breasts, is so powerful and healing. The Esoteric Breast Massage, as taught by Universal Medicine, has supported me to have a true relationship with my breasts and my body. Those many impositions that I allowed to contribute to my disconnection as a woman no longer have any influence on me or my relationship with my breasts. Thanks for writing your observations on the power and healing benefits of the Esoteric Breast Massage to your daughters and their mother (and I know to many other women around the world).

     1. Penny, so great that you have unshackled those impositions. Yes, this is written for all women – let’s spread the word.
