261 thoughts on “The Strength and Power of Connection”

1. I have been feeling recently the grandness you speak about Denise and it is the most amazing feeling in my body. I had completely forgotten that such grandness was within me just waiting for me to reconnect back to it once again.

2. “It is an absolute connection to everyone and everything beyond me. That is the glorious feeling inside me, my connection to the all.” it is the grandness of our divine love that connect us to all humanity and beyond.

3. ‘When I stop to connect to me, I am connecting to something that is far grander.’ This statement says so much. We forget we are part of the all, that we are all connected, and so to connect to ourselves, means we connect to the universe.

4. How empowering this stop moment was Denise to say no to drugs. Our life can change in a moment from the choices we make to love and support our body or not.
   “It wasn’t just about having a smoke or taking drugs, it was far greater… it was about making a choice that would affect the rest of my life. I was never offered drugs again”.

5. You are indeed a beautiful woman (BW) Denise! I really enjoyed reading this again, it’s amazing to reflect back over my life and see the times I’ve trusted myself and what I knew to be true for me, and also reflect on why other times I did not. I also appreciated what you shared about your powerful walk, this is something I intend to feel into myself over the next few days and how walking in connection feels for me.

6. We are already all that we are. All we need do is reconnect to this.

7. I think these moments are more common than we think, and its a question of whether I’m clear enough in myself to recognise it or slip into the default that has taken me thus far. The more aware I am, the more I realise that everything is a choice.

8. I agree with you the reconnection to ourselves is very powerful and I certainly hadn’t taken any notice of this other part of me that has been there waiting for me to reconnect to it until I met Serge Benhayon. With his support I have come to realise I was ignoring the best part of me.

9. Seeing life as a series of moments and opportunities to connect to ourselves is a great joy to live.

10. Written from the authority of your lived experience – there is not much more powerful evidence than that, and that it is not in fact about going somewhere, trying to reach for something – it is about returning back to the truth within that we have always known.

11. It is through the appreciation of these moments of deep connection that we can make choices to finetune our way of living in order to express more of the awareness within.

12. Thank you Denise for your powerful yet simple reflection of how important it is to following your feelings and listen to your heart. As a sentsitive vulnerable man today that is what I needed to read.

13. Awesome ‘real life’ experiences and examples you give Denise. It is great and in fact essential to appreciate and acknowledge the time that we are connected and know absolutely that this is the true way.

14. When we connect we may tap into the depth of support that is constantly available to us, for we are at one with the flow and rhythm of life and open to the expansiveness of the Universe.

15. ‘When I stop to connect to me, I am connecting to something that is far grander.’ Very true Denise and the more we embrace this the quality of our life expands enormously.

16. The ultimate love is Karma – the opportunity to align to what is true this (and each) time around.

17. And when we do bring that conscious presence to every part of our lives… Every part of us benefits, and then all around us benefit and the ripple effect goes on and on… Conscious presence, true conscious presence is actually service for humanity.

18. Connecting to the grandness of who we truly are is such a precious gift, a gift there for us whenever we choose to accept it. Thank you Denise for sharing your experiences and wisdom.

19. This just shows that we unfold to who we already and truly are rather than become someone.

    1. Beautifully and simply said Jennifer – We don’t have to try and be something or someone because we are everything we will ever be already, it’s just a matter of surrendering and allowing the beauty to of this wisdom to be expressed and lived.

20. Just like you Denise, the instant that I heard Serge Benhayon’s name mentioned I knew I had to meet him and like you I “didn’t know why, but I knew that nothing was going to stop me”. Everything did try to stop me but the deep and utter knowing that I was to meet this man was not able to be ignored and every day for the last 12 years I have celebrated the fact that I followed that huge impulse and made the choice to do so; the best choice ever!

21. What if we lived life consistently in connection to that which is innate to our beingness? things would be very different in the way that we would live from the wisdom of our bodies first in connection to the flow of the universe and we would also understand that the true purpose in life is to return and evolve back to the love and grandness which we came from and not identify with the limitations and struggles of the mind.

22. This is a beautiful contribution, written from the body and its lived experience. You make connection to self and the clarity and simplicity that ensue very tangibly real and relatable.

23. We have a knowing deep within when we are offered that moment of clarity where we feel the power of our decision. There are no moments of hesitation – the doubt of past decisions is no longer with us and we can move forward and claim a truer and more loving way to live life.

24. When we choose to connect to ourselves and our body we naturally know what feels true and supportive.

25. Thank you Denise, that is teaching us all how to be with feelings and trusting them, and especially when they are different as we would imagined them to be or look like. A powerful message to us all..

26. I didn’t know I was disconnected until I reconnected!

27. A beautifully written reminder of our true grandness. Thank you Denise.

28. “These moments that occur in our lives are like signposts along the way. We are given an opportunity to make choices that have the potential to change our lives forever.” The interesting thing about these profound moments is that they can be made from the simplest of decisions in our everyday lives.

29. Love how you shared about the simplicity of lying in the sun and feeling the beauty of life around and that warmth within. It is so true saying that we do make life about everything other than this connection, yet no matter what we have achieved in life the greatest achievement of all is the quality of connection we have within ourselves.

30. I can relate to those many moments of clarity and offering to make a true choice – easy when it came to drugs for example, but there were also many other moments when offered the opportunity to stop an ill-behaviour, and even with the clarity and very clear communication of the harm is was doing to me and others, the choice was still defiance and resistance… so now I am learning the consequences of those choices and just how imprisoning they were as we must step back through and reimprint each of those false choices.

31. Thanks Denise there is much wisdom in this blog, when I look back at my life I guess there have been moments like you had, like not smoking marijuana when I chose the wrong fork in the road and made a conscious decision to dull myself instead of truly feeling what is there to be felt. So all of this is a good reminder not to keep making bad decisions for myself and also to show consistency in the decisions I make concerning my daughter.

32. We are all powerful beings, and it is only through our connection to and appreciation of what is already within that we get to embody and move in a way that reflects heaven on earth.

33. I love the story you told of how you grounded your daughter for 6 months and that you did not back down from that decision. Consistency is so important for children and adults alike as it is a way of seeing love in action.

34. It is amazing when we feel that inner connection – as when we connect to our essence we only need to be and the trying becomes superfluous.

35. When I feel connected to the all I know I am connected to me – it is a great marker as to whether I am connected to my body or not.

36. Your blog reminds me Denise that each choice is simple and it sets up that next choice, and if we stop and truly feel that we can take real stock of what it is we’re choosing in each given moment, and understand more clearly and deeply that everything is linked, and that everything that is done has a ripple effect whether we want to acknowledge it or not, it’s there. And best of all when we do honour those stop moments we develop and build our honesty with and in us – we develop an authority and trust in us, and it’s not just us but that we’re a part of the bigger picture, a grandness that is all around us, and that everything we do impacts on us and on that grandness, both a glory and a responsibility.

37. That was gorgeous to read Denise. Stop moments that remind us that we have always been offered the gift of coming back to our light and love within

38. There are moments in life which keep coming around again, giving us the opportunity to choose differently, and if we are aware enough to recognise when those moments are being presented to us, we can make the most of what is on offer, and change something that has been running us for a very long time.

39. Every moment we are offered an opportunity to say yes or no to the love held within our bodies and the absolute simplicity found in this is amazingly beautiful to feel and be reminded of everyday. There is a lot to appreciate from our connection to our bodies and the choice to commit to the yes or no of living life from love.

40. Years ago in a fleeting moment, I unmistakably felt the connection with all. Through my choice to be a student of The Way Of The Livingness I now feel this connection and know that it is actually the way to live life from. As I write this my heart warms, as does my body in absolute appreciation of what I have chosen.

41. True power is so very inspiring. In that moment that it is being expressed, the whole body is imbued with a quality, an essence that is simply divine.

    1. This should be our ‘normal’.

42. I really enjoyed reading about all your stop moments. It has made me reflect on some of mine where I have made a decision that I know I will not go back on. Then there are the other situations that keep coming around again and again because I have not yet said a definitive ‘no’ to them.

43. …’moments that occur in our lives are like signposts along the way. We are given an opportunity to make choices that have the potential to change our lives forever.’ We never know where these opportunities will take us, being aware, observing every moment.

44. When we connect we are whole as the choice to align our particles (cells) to a universal order is made. The universe is all connected, so are we. So the moment we tap into the universe (simply by connecting to our essence, our beingness) we are all of it again. The strength and power of connection.

45. I find your words are truly inspiring Denise – I have not always had that same strength of purpose and love that you describe and yet there are those moments when I have felt that deep connection within – where I have a sense of knowing of what is true. Since meeting Serge Benhayon I have gradually built a stronger sense of what is true – it’s still a work in progress but I am coming back to my true purpose more readily and steadily.

46. For me connecting to myself, listening to the messages in my body and my feelings brings a lot of care and support not just for me but everyone. Whereas trying to work out how to be in life based on mental pictures, perfected scripts to people or assumptions is pretty miserable.

47. Connection to our selves is paramount, the more connected we are the simpler life is.

48. It is incredible when we connect to ourselves, we also naturally connect to people, to the world and the universe. A beautiful expansion.

49. So true our connection gives us strength and power, it is felt as an absoluteness in our bodies. You like your examples there have been moments I did not waver but overall I chose to follow others, to please and for recognition. Learning the Gentle Breath Meditation was the start of choosing my connection more consistently and by every choice I make it becomes more natural and simple to do so and not to forget living life in such a way becomes joyful and simple too.

50. How wonderful to be able to catch ourselves in moments like these, when we feel our own power, our own sense of connection to ourselves. Now image feeling that all the time. The question is, what’s stopping us from doing just that?

51. “…When I stop to connect to me, I am connecting to something that is far grander…” In a world that encourages constant motion, taking time to stop and feel a part of being connected to something far more grander is deeply healing.

52. I love that in connection there are moments that occur that guide us through life, like never ending gifts, offering us a clarity to make a choice that is founded in love that as a result will offer a healing to ourselves or others when embraced.

53. I also find that if I lose that inner connection with me and therefore am not truly settled and still in my body, then the choices I make are not consistent or accurate, I get indecisive and make mistakes or errors that I would not make when I am connected.

54. The stop moments in life provide us a valuable opportunity to review the quality of our choices and if they are aligned to love or if they are taking us further way from love and therefore harming ourselves and others.

55. This inner connection is huge and not just about what occurs inside “When I stop to connect to me, I am connecting to something that is far grander.”, we have access to a universal flow and wisdom through our inner connection, the outside will not offer us the answers we seek, our own understanding and experience of the universe will offer us so much more…

56. It is in trusting our body to make the choices that are true and serve us the opportunity to grow and evolve, our mind is in most ways based on its own creation and keeping that in shape not letting things come in that can change that, it is our decision to not listen to this and let our heart lead the way.

57. Denise this is great to read and appreciate what life can offer ourselves when we listen to the messages around us and within us. When we honour a deep knowing and it is unshakable. I have come to see how everything has a reason because there is always a message or a learning, and it is our choice on how open and responsive we are to this.

58. What a beautiful blog to read today Denise, it has made me stop and ponder on the many defining choices that I too have made. One such choice was saying no to smoking. All my friends were smoking by 12 years old. They gave me a cigarette which I took home to try, I went to the bathroom, locked the door and took my first puff and started coughing immediately. In the very next moment that cigarette went down the toilet and I remember so clearly saying these are not for me.

59. I can relate to what you’ve shared Denise about a deeper knowing from your body… when I first heard Serge Benhayon’s name something in me knew I HAD to see him, nothing could have stopped me, even ridicule from someone close to me at the time. I can look back and see that even his name was speaking to something in me that was engaged instantly… and has remained so ever since. Life has never been the same again after following that original impulse, and I wouldn’t trade anything in the world for what I have now in my life as a result.

60. It reveals us that we in truth have more strength and power when we connect to our Soul, our inner-heart. And that by choosing this connection there is an openness and real fragility, that would have not appear to be felt when we are in disconnection to our Soul’s inner-heart.

    1. It’s beautiful to read your comment and to realise that we do all have a connection to our Soul and when we use the word it confirms that connection. For so long it seems as though we have all avoided that word and hence diminished our connection to our true self. It is awesome to feel the power within when we are connected to our soul as then there is no pretence just us truly being all of us – and it feels so simple and expansive as we unite with the Universe.

61. “To me this was a confirmation of choosing to trust my feelings.” It is very powerful to trust one’s own feelings, as in the end we can only do what feels true to us, everything else is simply a calculation of the mind that gives us a thousand options and more.

62. Being open to the world around us and in connection to ourselves is our most precious resource and greatest strength.

63. Connection makes us and our love seem bigger, and the issues or problems around that seem way small.

64. Absolutely Michael

65. A clear testament of how very much we know and how powerful we are. There is a knowing deep within us that when tended to and cared for grows in solidness with every breath more.

66. Connection is everything… With ourselves, with our children, with everything around us… With connection everything unfolds… Without it life is a blur.

67. “It felt like I was given another opportunity to stay committed to the choice that I had made.” This is such a wonderful awareness to appreciate – I feel they come up often. Whether I accept them as a confirmation or a temptation/distraction from my truth that either supports and evolves or has me going around again.

68. There is nothing in this world more glorious than being connected with ourselves and therefore God/the universe. It is no wonder that we remember our times of deep connection. The more we join those moments of connection together to make our life just one life of connection the freer we will be.

69. I feel the same way Ruth. It is indeed powerful to make the choice about connection rather than the outside options. Like, instead of looking at whether to eat a certain food or not, making the decision about connecting or not will then make the choice for us by virtue of the energy we have chosen to be aligned to. That’s why stop moments are so important. It’s like a stock take for what energy is running the body and a moment to re-evaluate before continuing on.

70. Living life without connection to the true and Soulful quality of who we are leaves us empty for life to be run by overwhelm, stress, anxiety and control (to name a few). When we choose connection, the fullness of the Universe is with us in our everyday duties. Like you’ve described Denise, it’s a full body knowing and the mind cannot get in the way of that knowing.

71. What a gorgeous blog, remembering us all of the moments we connect with our essence and make the choices that bring true harmony to our life. It is so beautiful to feel the divine workings of our soul, we are woken up at the moments that matter most, the moments we get offered a distraction from who we truly are. It is in deepening the connection that we are making these moments more clear.

72. These moments are great learnings and at times just as important as the confirming ones in life.

73. ‘As a child I remember lying in the sun on our veranda with my eyes closed and feeling this beautiful feeling – a warmth in my body as the sun was shining on me.’ I absolutely love the feeling of the sun warming my face with my eyes closed. It’s always a beautiful stop moment that reminds me of the grandness we are part of and that lays within each and everyone of us.

74. Its incredible to reflect back on stop moments and see how we have been affected by our critical decisions at those moments in time.

75. It is awesome how clearly you felt the option to not drink any wine, and to actually feel and face what is going on for you instead of simply ‘drowning’ your sorrows. I love how strong you were and so clearly able to see what the truth is.

76. My greatest moment of knowing I was hearing truth was at my first presentation with Serge Benhayon. Although so much challenged what I believed, held to be true and lived my life by there was a connection that I could not deny that made me question everything. Within three months of further questioning I had no doubt what he presented was true in a way that I had previously not felt, the result of which I committed to totally change my whole way of being. It is the best decision I have ever made and have never looked back. When we have those moments of knowing and respond to them it is life enhancing.

77. Connecting to the body and feeling the innateness of the quality that lies with in is the only way we, as a humanity, will begin to look at how we live, and how that impacts on our body. Beautiful article Denise.

78. The moments we connect to our inner knowing are divine and such a blessing; the choice is then ours as to how we respond. Thank you Denise for the beautiful confirmation.

    1. And it’s so gorgeous that we are each communicated these stop moments in life in just the way they need to happen for each of us to offer us a true choice. The beauty is the more we recognise that feeling of our divine communication and that we can choose to allow it to be there in every moment then we are able to feel these moments of connection and expansion more regularly.

79. What strikes me is how crystal clear and the detail of remembering of those moments when a choice is presented that can take you in one of two opposite directions… Makes me see just how 1) we are always being presented with choices to make and 2) the connection we have with our body and the knowing this brings is always there, it’s just how much of a relationship do we have with it in order to listen and take heed of its knowing.

80. The Gentle Breath Meditation is the key to reconnect and get to know the true quality of who we are, it allows us to break away form the confines of the mind and embrace the stillness from our soul.

81. As a child I knew I was never alone as I easily felt a connection with something that was much grander than what was going on around me. As I reflect this connection never left me and although it was not as consistent as in my younger days there were profound moments especially in times of distress where I felt held and knew every thing would be ok.

82. If we are willing to look at the signposts, there are many of them. The question is are we willing to pay attention, to read what they offer, and develop in who we are with the opportunities given to us.

83. It’s really simple, everything is about connection. We can go into our heads for hours, days, weeks or even years to find or look for the answer to something, when all this does is create complication.

84. It is so true that the moment you connect to yourself you can feel you are also connected to something much grander and that you play an equal part in that grandness.

85. The Gentle Breath Meditation as presented by Serge Benhayon is a powerful and very simple tool that anyone can use to support them to reconnect.

86. The moments when we connect are so very powerful, like brightly lit windows into a future that we can live now – depending on what choices we make. Your writing is very body centred and comes with utmost clarity and simplicity, a great offering for us all.

87. As you describe so beautifully Denise, we need only to stop for a moment, connect with ourselves to feel our connection to the all.

88. I love how consistently you are choosing connection. This is available to all who choose it.

89. I like the term ‘signpost’ you use here Denise. If I put it into two words – sign and post – it reminds me and deepens my understanding of how we make contracts by choosing which energy we align to, what I am saying YES to, what do I sign. And of course the contracts I sign have a huge effect on life. Brings to awareness which responsibility we have.

    1. Yes Sandra Schneider the directions we choose to take will depend on the previous movement and what ideals and beliefs we choose to carry along the way. The sign posts are clear yet we choose to make them unclear and bombard ourselves with a hundred and one excuses to bring in complication when the simplicity is there to appreciate.

90. So beautiful reading this blog again today. It’s so very confirming of something we all universally feel – our deep inner knowing. We can often feel alone in life yet all along we have this powerful support from within ourselves, an internal compass lovingly guiding us. All we need to do is listen and trust. Very powerful sharing Denise and expressed very simply.

91. I too can remember distinctive stop moments in my life where a choice could have taken me in a very different direction to the one I chose. If we ‘stop’ and consider this, this happens all day every day in the smallest of ways to live more or less love.

92. I also feel blessed by my first time I met Serge Benhayon. What Serge has given me and humanity is turning me and this world on it ear. Serge’s events are life-changing and will be appreciated one day for the absolute truth they are. These presentations are filled with joy and bring a forever deepening clarity about life and who we are. Thank you Mary-Louise, you are another true inspiration.

93. Love what you have shared. This has opened me to feel the first time I was offered drugs and that I accepted even though I thought it was silly and not right. I got lost for many years smoking marijuana and now understand how addictive and energetically abusive drugs are.

94. This is it for me, I have reconnected with me…my expression through the inspirational teachings of Serge Benhayon…”Since then and through Serge’s teachings I have discovered that this powerful feeling that I have is my connection to me, the power-fullness that I have felt comes from stopping and reconnecting with myself.” It powerful to reengage with our own expression, everything I have healed and regained a connection with has been through my choice to do so, empowering does not cover it, it is heaven sent…

95. A consistent thread throughout this great blog is that we all have within us an innate knowing of what is the Truth and what our body truly needs to support it lovingly. It’s just a matter of how much we listen to this inner voice, but as Denise has shown with her examples is how we are always offered these opportunities throughout our lives and even daily, I have noticed. Each one a chance to either evolve or delay the growing of our awareness and love in our lives.

96. How completely different life will unfold if we consistently trust ourselves rather than keep overriding and ignore what we feel.

97. I love your conviction and strength. There are times when I know what is true for me and yet I still go ahead and do the opposite. Ultimately it comes down to how much love I have for myself as to whether I am true to myself or go against myself.

98. ‘knowing deep down that what I felt was about far more than having another glass of wine.’ Let me not discount my choices as trivial (nor irredeemable!) but be honest about what I am choosing and the effects. So feeling what is there for me to evolve – not turning on the TV to numb out; so connecting and dealing with my reactions to the reflections that are around me I find difficult because I’ve invested in some ideal that’s being undermined in some way. letting go of these ideals gives me the space to really be myself with people and connect.

99. I love the authority in which you write and share your experiences.

100. Beautiful Denise, where you have come to in yourself is incredible, that you now say : “When I stop to connect to me, I am connecting to something that is far grander.”
     We have the key to our Soul (connection to our heart) that we can than live from and grow in ourselves through life. To see all as learnings and all happenings to evolve, if we choose to stay open no matter what – that is our responsibility, to feel all that we are and all around us.. Every day, to the best ability we can. Everyday..

101. It strikes me how silly it is to resist true connection with ourselves. Yet I know from personal experience just how much we can and how even the tiniest of choices in how we live can be a form of damping or dulling of this connection to ourselves. I know when I am doing this, it is not me and that I am already disconnected from myself and my body. In those moments it is always a hurt that is coming to the fore or at least being felt in the situation before me. Even if I do not want to feel the hurt, it is super crucial to stay committed to our quality of connection with ourselves, as this is what heals.

102. I am beginning to realise and accept that the choices I have made throughout my life are determined by everything that came before that moment of choice – it’s not just one isolated incident. I am starting to realise that I don’t have to act in the present based on the past as I let go of the past and all the attachments that can hold me in the past. When we can live each day and keep our life current we won’t be hauling around baggage from the past.

103. It is great to remember no matter the turmoil around us and within us, that deeper within there is a part that is never tainted by the dross of emotions, stress, conflict and that part that is pure and untarnished is the true nature of our being. Only through connecting or rather re-connecting to that (which is within us constantly and eternally) can we see clearly what we have chosen that is not of that, and what causes all the strife and misery we experience. And only through seeing it clearly do we than have the choice to let it go and live instead the truth of who we are.

104. I knew the experience I had in Universal Medicine workshops were true because they felt familiar to moments in my life, as Denise described, where I felt grounded and centred and a sense of completeness in my body. Yes these did diminish in frequency as I became older and to now discover I can bring these back to daily life with consistency has been priceless.

105. “When I stop to connect to me, I am connecting to something that is far grander.
     It is an absolute connection to everyone and everything beyond me.That is the glorious feeling inside me, my connection to the all.” Now that’s a reason to reconnect!

106. “With this conscious presence we can bring a quality to everything we do in our lives. I feel it was this quality that I felt as I got out of the car and connected to my body. With this connection I have learnt to love and care for myself and not leave me until last.” Yes with this connection you take responsibility for yourself and you carry you through your day with so much more love and light to share with others. Then life truly feels worth living and the joy of each moment of being with you is immense.

107. The warmth of connection once remembered is worth holding on to. It makes the coldness of separation all the more noticeable.

108. Thank you Denise, I can look back at my life and even in those times that I was lost I can still recall experiences of being connected to my soul and so this has become part of my daily living thanks to Serge Benhayon who has shown me that through connection I am the true me.

109. When I feel connected to my body it is like having the very dearest of friends by my side – an honest, open, sensitive, caring and very patient and understanding companion who always tells me straight when something does not feel right and always has my best interests at heart.

110. The beauty about connection is that it is immediately eternal. There is no end to connection.

111. This real power in this article a joy to read…”I have discovered that this powerful feeling that I have is my connection to me, the power-fullness that I have felt comes from stopping and reconnecting with myself.” in every one of is a power and light that shines bright, no one can give us it, take it away or make us have it, it is who we truly are if we allow ourselves feel it.

112. ‘through Serge’s teachings I have discovered that this powerful feeling that I have is my connection to me, the power-fullness that I have felt comes from stopping and reconnecting with myself. With every choice that I make I have the power to choose different paths in my life.’ Beautifully said Denise. Our bodies tell us everything.

113. When we are connected, there is a rapid flow, an impulse to bring purpose, commitment and our true quality and all that we are to the all.

114. To be connected to my own power is the key to responsibility and to not act on this I understand is comfort. Simple to type here and yet it can trip me up many times a day. Love what you have shared here Denise.

115. ‘By being aware of these moments and this connection in me, I was able to see things differently. I didn’t react to life in the usual way.’ – What you are sharing here Denise, is crucial. It is my experience too that when I stay aware or take the time to stop for a moment in the situations at hand, I do not go into reaction but remain an observer, and from there the decisions I make are very different.

116. ‘When I stop to connect to me, I am connecting to something that is far grander.’ Beautiful Denise and your words are reminding me that it is there for us all.

117. Lately I’ve been feeling a deeper connection with my sacredness and it feels delicious, and consequently I’ve been feeling more connected and at ease with people. Not only is the feeling so lovely for me, it is equally lovely to feel so much more connected with people and to see how much they love it too.

118. It is so amazing to hear someone finally express the truth of all the millions of things we have felt also – all that is not true in this world but that most pretend is ok. Yet we cannot deny the unease and sense that we are very far astray – and knowing this but not knowing what to do with it. Thanks to Serge Benhayon firmly speaking up that truth, the world will finally be reminded that there is a different way, and one we all do know deep down, and one we can now return to.

119. “When I stop to connect to me, I am connecting to something that is far grander.”
     This is so true Denise, and a great confirmation of where we come from and who we are in truth.

120. Thank you Denise when I read your blog I can feel that we can never truly be needy because we hold the key to everything we truly need. Beautiful.

121. Clocking those moments when we feel a sense of strength and power from being with our body is very beautiful and as you reveal … “but now I know that it was about returning to a love that was deep within me.

122. Apart of me wants to fight what you are sharing because it seems too simple, I keep going back to this blog because of the fight I feel inside. In truth, I struggle to stop because I am afraid of the power that will come if I do, so I play a game that says, surely it can’t be as simple as reconnection? In that game, I am just avoiding the stop because if I live to my full potential I am afraid I will leave others behind, the thing I am missing is that if you live to your full potential then if others don’t come too, you wont mind because you have you in full.

123. No matter what happens in life, if I feel connected to myself I can handle anything. I wish I had appreciated this growing up, instead of giving myself away to what I thought was important at the time. Now it is the precious thing to me, because through this connection I can commune with God and the all.

124. the process of stopping and connecting what Denise talks about is absolutely essential for all of us to consider, because it seems that the world has therefore stuck hard to the floor with the accelerator full on, and until we do take these moments to stop and consider then there is an inevitable consequence of what is happening now all around us and everywhere

125. It is great to appreciate the moments of true connection and the expansive awareness on offer – this is a forever marker of our natural way, in alignment with the universe and as such we forever have free Will to remain connected and access this intelligence and wisdom, so grand or to disconnect and run our own show.

126. Reading your comment Leonne, it just occurred to me that walls need a foundation, usually underground. What is flowing in our underground foundations from which we choose to live, Love or Not Love? Without a loving and compassionate foundation we choose to go on building walls to hide behind. With that Love and compassion all the walls can come tumbling down. It is a choice we can make to build a foundation of Love so that no more walls are built.

127. Thanks for sharing these stories of connection to something much greater than what meets the eye. I am so glad that we do really all know, it’s just a matter of choosing to feel the truth in every moment.

128. It is simply lovely building on those moments of connection and to feel the power that can flow through us.

129. There really is an absolute fullness felt when you connect to yourself, where nothing is needed and you feel in sync with the rest of the world.

130. It is so powerful when we observe that moment to stop and make a different choice, because we realise that in this second, we are choosing the old pattern, or stopping it. Then we do know everything is a choice, not something we have always done, because this moment has been recognised. When we feel the power of connection, there is nothing to make us question the truth of who we are and where we are from.

131. This blog is so inspiring Denise. It is a great reminder of how powerful our connection with ourselves can be. If we are connected it gives us a strength to look at choices as they come along and decide yes or no from a true place rather than simply going along with things or making choices out of need.

132. For me when I feel true connection with another person it’s so powerful in that moment it stops any destructive behaviours, self doubt or negative thoughts. We massively underestimate the power of connection, deep connection with both ourselves and others, can literally transform your whole day.

133. “With every choice that I make I have the power to choose different paths in my life. I feel this is what I have felt in the moments that I have stopped and had a clear picture of how my life could be if I made a choice that was not a loving choice.” Thank-you Denise for showing us how this connection is always there for us to return to, Serge Benhayon provides the tools for us to be in tune with this connection and move this energetic lightness through the three dimensional density of life.

134. Our connection is a choice. We can spend our whole lives choosing disconnection but at any moment is is but a choice away to return to our connection.

135. “With every choice that I make I have the power to choose different paths in my life.” Little do we realise the power of our choices and how day-by-day they can either lead us down a path that takes us a long away from our true expression or keep us firmly connected with our vitality and purpose. Paying attention to our inner feelings and the messages from our bodies is so vital, as it is easy to over-ride our deeper feelings in favour of our emotional needs. What is so awesome though is that our inner wisdom never, ever leaves us, even when we don’t pay attention to it, it still keeps sending us the messages.

136. So often in life our internal knowings are overridden or dismissed, and yet they are a message that there is more to us than just our physical bodies, that there is a soul each and every one of us have.

137. There is something so amazing about considering that the clarity of your choice in that moment, aged 15, to say no to drugs meant you were never offered them again. It makes it super simple for me: if I waver, then the temptations of evil keep knocking at the door. This is a huge point of inspiration for me.

138. If we understand that we are so powerful, in control of our own lives and what effect our lives have on others, we would be more distinct in making choices and make them from that inner connection instead out of a need or to fill an emptiness.

139. Confirming my connection and the choices I make from this connection is the key for me because it builds a confidence within to trust what I feel no matter what. And when I don’t, there is always a valuable lesson there.

140. The moments of clear choice we have in life – where we know which ‘way’ is either confirming and nourishing to the truth of our being, or not – are to be deeply confirmed. For we are making choices all of the time, it never stops… Our society seems to run on so many choices being made around ‘following an established norm’ or ‘fitting a mode’ – that it’s seemingly ok to have that extra drink, or puff on a joint, just because so many are doing this. We have normalised so many behaviours that are damaging to our bodies, our psyches, our wellbeing and our relationships. Indeed, I’ve heard of medical professionals (who know well the deleterious consequences of alcohol on the body) actually justify its regular consumption and in quite alarming amounts…
     Yet the inner knowing remains – as does our ability to listen to it and follow its call. In this, it’s never too late either, is it – to follow that which we know to be true. And if it happens to stand us out from the crowd, then so be it.

141. I love the absoluteness in what you’ve shared here Denise. The absoluteness of knowing that need never be questioned. And how deeply beautiful it is, that our awareness of our innate knowing and understanding of what we may have always known within, is something that we can come to actually ‘define’ – as you have done in naming that the glorious feeling you know is your ‘connection to the all’.

142. “When I stop to connect to me, I am connecting to something that is far grander.” Beautiful Denise, as they say we are all made of the the same stuff: love and particles, moving as one.

143. Some times in life we have those moments of absolute knowing about something – but why keep it to just moments? Thanks to the teachings of Serge Benhayon I have tools to build that connection up to be a consistent part of my life.

144. “This moment was so clear and I can feel the power in my choice, knowing deep down that what I felt was about far more than having another glass of wine.” When moments such as this have such clarity, it is impossible to ignore them. Thanks to Serge Benhayon many people now know that these events are simply confirming what we know to be true, whereas in the past it is likely we would have overridden these feelings.

145. “…These moments that occur in our lives are like signposts along the way…” For these moments to be strong signposts, shows the powerful nature reconnection with the body, with stillness, brings to everything.

146. You’ve described these moments where we’re torn between our own feelings and what our head tells us to do as ‘signposts’, which I think is a great way to describe them as our decision and everything that occurs thereon can be looked back on as a marker of what happens and in what state we end up when we trust our heads over our hearts, or vice versa.

147. Denise it’s interesting that you say: “I was never offered drugs again.” It just goes to show how once we truly know what we are doing and make a firm choice, people get the message and circumstances change. So many of us think that life just happens to us without realizing that it is our choices that draw circumstances to us. We emanate energy all the time and people get the message even if they may not be fully aware of it.

148. Grounding your daughter is a great example of ‘tough love’. It may be seem like a punishment to the child but if they can surrender to it as your daughter did, then there is potential for transformation and evolution. Unfortunately today there is not enough such loving discipline and children grow up without much true guidance or self-discipline which makes it hard for them to take responsibility for their lives.

149. Our bodies register every little detail of our lives, and offer us so much wisdom when we choose to truly connect with them.

150. Denise, your blog reminds us that we all have moments when we are connected but often we overlook them as being insignificant because we get distracted by the many things outside ourselves. Once we feel the true quality of this connection we start to value these moments more and more, and the more we confirm them, the more such moments we have. This is in fact our natural way of being and once that becomes the the norm it becomes very obvious when we are not connected and it does not feel good at all.

151. I loved to read this Denise, to hear you describe the feeling of inner divine connection. It is available to every single one of us but it is cosmologically bigger than any individual. By connecting to ourselves we connect to our divine origins where we are all deeply unified.

152. One key is to learn what are true choices, choices that are loving and supportive and that resonate through the years and other choices, choices that are done with a tension and to relieve that tension, choices that are made out of excitement or fear or other emotions. Also to quickly realise when we have made a wrong choice and to then undo it as soon as possible – that realisation may happen within seconds and often there is still time to change the choice – it can just be awkward, like not signing a contract at the last minute.

153. Whether we stay connected or not is always going to be a choice that we each individually have to make in every moment, it is not something that can be gained in a session or via counselling and then it is ‘done’. It is simply about consistency and our everyday choices.

154. What a great blog and a reminder of my own experiences growing up. As a teenager I was never influenced by my peers or in social circles to drink. I ‘thought’ it was because I didn’t like the taste of it and how it made me feel. Now looking back yes these factors were true but having read this blog I can feel that it was a choice that I was making and I knew what was true back then. A great confirmation to appreciate many years later.

155. Following an impulse to share something with my mother on the phone earlier this morning, has led to the most amazing spontaneous release of old hurts in our bodies. From completely different events with an uncanny parallel in the independent stories – it has been rather like watching the same movie with different actresses performing in it. A life changing moment, arresting an old momentum in its tracks.
     “These moments that occur in our lives are like signposts along the way. We are given an opportunity to make choices that have the potential to change our lives forever”.

156. There is no denying the strength and power of connection after reading your examples Denise “These moments that occur in our lives are like signposts along the way. We are given an opportunity to make choices that have the potential to change our lives forever.” When we give ourselves time and space by slowing down and taking the rush out of our day we stand a much better chance of seeing the signposts that pop up along the way.

157. When we have moments of such clarity and knowing, it is great to clock and take notice that this feeling of comes from the whole of our body and not just a thought from the head. This demonstrates just how much power and presence comes with reconnection to our body.

158. The feeling of strength and power we get when we honour what our bodies are telling us is amazing. It is not power over anyone, or strength to lift something heavy, but a certainty of who we truly are and why we are here, based on a strong sense of purpose and a deep knowing.

159. Life transforms when we trust our feelings/knowings rather than our thoughts… Thoughts can be influenced by ideals, beliefs, images and society around us if we let them be, however a knowing of what’s true or needed in a situation can only come from ourselves. It’s up to us to say no to the thoughts that aren’t ours so we can develop a relationship with ourselves where we can recognise and listen to these true knowings.

160. We get many life changing moments and just like sliding doors we get the choice to go with truth or not. We get to say yes to love or yes to abuse and annihilation. Whilst we may think some of our choices are innocent they are not – everything we do effects everyone else whether or not we choose or want to admit it.

161. A great testimony to the immutable fact that we are all, without exception, all-knowing, and that within us we do know what is true, and what is not.

162. These examples show the conviction of something known within is stronger than any social norm that might be trying to knock at your door and persuade you otherwise.

163. Denise what I can really relate to is that going it alone yet being constantly shown I am anything but alone. As you say “When I stop to connect to me, I am connecting to something that is far grander.” that grandness, that strength is something that is and has always been there and what I am starting to really feel is the depth of power that comes with connection.

164. Beautiful, Denise. By not giving into the identification with the hurts, we can stay in touch with what is true for us, no matter what the situation, as your examples show here. And when we can see beyond the small self, our awareness expands out to what is true for all.

165. I had a similar stop moment to your Denise, when I found a calling card about the esoteric modalities of Universal Medicine. I had spent years searching for the truth and on the particular day I was wandering around a Healing Fayre and getting a bit bored and upon leaving I saw the card on the table. Something about it stood out for me and within 24 hours I was doing the Gentle Breath Meditation on-line, had an esoteric facial release and attended discourse (a group gathering reading Serge’s purple books). As soon as I heard Serge Benhayon’s voice on an audio I knew that I had found something so very special, I knew I had finally found the truth. I suppose you could say this was my stop moment, my moment of connection, and what I connected to on that day was a knowing within my body that Serge Benhayon was the man who would bring me back to truth and how much I felt that in my body.

166. This is beautiful Denise and brings such truth and understanding to our life and our choices and the responsibility that comes with this. “These moments that occur in our lives are like signposts along the way. We are given an opportunity to make choices that have the potential to change our lives forever.” This is just the start of another way of living in connection to who we are and the beautifulness we hold inside us all waiting to be felt and claimed in the oneness of humanity and the all.

167. “By being aware of these moments and this connection in me, I was able to see things differently. I didn’t react to life in the usual way.” We all have this ability to take a step back, observe and look at life in a different way, but how often are we truly encouraged to do this. What I value most about the presentations and teachings of Serge Benhayon is that we are constantly reminded of who we are, of our innate wisdom and encouraged to deepen our powers of observation and connection, so that we look deeper into why we have cravings or why we feel out of sorts. Consequently we become empowered to expose the motivation behind the quality of our choices and make fundamental changes that truly support us.

168. It’s a good thing that I have finally taken a few stop moments this time around and have stopped my just going with the flow or being easily led down the wrong path. What I have learnt and keep learning over the past few years is that we always have a choice, in every second of every day.

169. Where we are is all because of past choices, and choices are so much clearer when we have a connection to ourselves

170. I can feel we are all One when I connect to myself for in truth it is not me I am connecting to but God.

171. A beautiful sharing of your journey to connection with yourself on a much deeper level that allows you to now put yourself first Denise.

172. “When I stop to connect to me, I am connecting to something that is far grander.” Essentially we meet the awesome hugeness and immense beauty of God and all of us within. I love how studying with Serge Benhayon has brought me home to God again, Me, God and Everyone, a relationship that I have always known but lay buried for a long time under a big heap of beliefs, protection and ideals.

173. I love the way life presents its lessons to us – gently at first, then repeated, then again and again and again until we eventually get it, whether this lifetime or the next. Sometimes the reflections are less gentle, for example when our bodies bring us to a complete stop. Then we have no choice but to pay attention there and then.

174. Every choice we make is important no matter how big or seemingly small.

175. I love how you say Denise – “…returning to a love that was deep within me.” – this is something that I can relate to, that feeling of returning to a place of connection within that has always been there just we’ve not always chosen to live from it.

176. A powerful blog reminding us that we always know. Deep down we have an inner knowing that is always there. We can choose to listen or ignore but ultimately any decision made outside of this awareness leads to stagnation of our evelotion.

177. Today I became aware of my connection with my body, how much it has actually grown. And how this has affected the relationships with other people as well. I feel much more comfortable around other people, being aware that my relationship with their bodies has grown as well. Today I noticed how much tenderness and innocence I felt in the bodies of other people. Very beautiful, yet no fireworks at all. It actually felt very natural! For me a very new – yet known at the same time – feeling. I’m very grateful for the amazing healing opportunities life is supplying. Each and every day. Supporting to forever deepen the connection with me, my body and with everything and everyone around me.

178. The power of our awareness lies in our connection to our essence from within.

179. All my life that connection to myself has been there, but for many years I didn’t want to feel it, in fact I didn’t want to feel much at all because I was focussed on the pain and hurts. Its interesting how the hurts get so much attention, so easily we can think and wallow in it yet we can at times feel uneasy with the joy, expressing it and living it up in case it upsets someone else.

180. How powerful to look at these stop moments in our lives and truly appreciate what we have been offered that supports us, and all those around us; to look back through our lives and appreciate we have always known truth.

181. We are wiser than we think we are… and that wisdom comes from our bodies and not from our minds!

182. Connection is one of the most beautiful words for me. Connection is magic, when i feel connected to me, everything is there in an instant, values of love and truth, meeting another and an equal, knowing we are the same…and its through connection which forever is deepening that we KNOW what is true and not for us at any given moment. Beautiful sharing Denise, priceless!

183. Those moments you have described here Denise are a beautiful reminder that all along there has been a connection to that inner part of ourselves, a place where there is a known, a truth. Yes, when we listen and act upon these feelings and make choices based on this known truth, then these are our points of evolution that we are saying yes to.

184. The ‘strength and power’ our connection is truly is far more than I have allowed my self to be aware of. I understand how I have chosen this lack of awareness because when I feel it and am reminded of it by the magic that occurs, I know, I know!

185. True – when we connect to ourselves we create space to receive the constant communication from the whole universe.

186. There is only strength in our connection, when we falter from that, we allow all different types of energies in, that do nothing but foster, self doubt, comparison, lack of self worth and the like. So it is super important to foster our connection, that is definitely where our true strength lies.

187. I have noticed that this blog has has received a lot of comments over a relative short period, compared to other blogs. For me this confirms the ‘connection’ we are all aware of and possibly don’t give the time and dedication to nurturing or appreciating this known fact. It also confirms the fact that we have known this for so long, known how it supports and yet have supported a world that walks away from this connection. This blog is a great stop for us all to again look deeply at how, when and why we connect and from there grow once more. This is about a return to something we know and not a learning of something new. In fact we have always known this but just allowed other things to take centre stage, what if life was only about connection or what if you made your life only about connection? That’s where I’m heading with this.

188. “Serge Benhayon has shared The Gentle Breath Meditation™ as a way of reconnecting. With this conscious presence we can bring a quality to everything we do in our lives.” – and in my experience, it is in the simplest and smallest of things that we do when in this quality that make such a big difference. Things like getting in and out of the car, or how I move my body when I’m doing certain tasks – it either builds more love and a feeling of flow in my body, or it makes my body feel hard and stiff.

189. It is about one big choice, connection or not. We might be able to trick our minds with reasons why not but in our hearts and bodies we know when we are selling out or when we are staying with what is true – the most beautiful more than contented feeling there is to have.

190. ‘This moment was so clear and I can feel the power in my choice, knowing deep down that what I felt was about far more than having another glass of wine.’ – Indeed a humbling moment, you connected to something much bigger than yourself. The knowing that we all carry within.

191. “When I stop to connect to me, I am connecting to something that is far grander.” I love what you have said here Denise. We are never alone and all have access to the truth.

192. Every decision we make comes in a package, and we often choose to overlook this and make choices based on our wants or needs in the moment… You’ve given 2 great examples of this; one was the question and offer of marijuana and the other was the wine – on the surface you could have said ‘yes’ in both circumstances based on your need to ‘destress’ or ‘fit in’, but with those decisions comes the effects of putting poison into your body and so much more than just the physical item.

193. I connect deeply to the moments you describe, and the power that they show we have

194. It is a joy reading your account of those moments in life where you noticed a clear connection with a deeper knowing and awareness within yourself. We could all enormously support and empower ourselves if we likewise made note of and appreciated, and then looked to increase the likelihood of such moments in our lives.

195. This is a great sharing Denise. I love how you give so many examples of when you felt these moments present a choice to you.

196. I can relate to all you say here Ariana and also to Denise’s blog. Recently I have been able to also see how opportunities to present me with the same learning that perhaps o once missed, have come around again in my life. I have also been able to see the run on effects from not listening to these pause moments in life and how they actually kept running for years later until I choose to complete that particular choice.

197. I had an experience with being offered marijuana but I did take it only to not like it at all and never really took it again even though I grew up in an area where the use of this was rife. I would still be out with everyone and like you no one would hassle me to have any. Your example shows the clarity of the choice and how that never came your way again, whereas my going along with it meant it was always around me as I hadn’t said no to the drug in full. Amazing how it all works.

198. We live life, as if it was always written, always destined to be this way. When we are, where we are it seems to be inevitable that everything occurred, as it occurred. Yet sometimes we get these windows as you say Denise to see that there is actually an option b. But what if we stopped, stood and imagined what would have happened if we made one different choice. The impact on our path, our friends and those close to us could be quite massive. Imagine this multiplied many times over for all the choices we make every day, then you can see we truly effect everyone in the world in a huge way. The more we appreciate the power of our choices, the more we see we are not a victim at all but an architect of the future of us all.

199. There is nothing greater than feeling in complete connection to or with oneself, and the knowingness that this brings in regards choice.

200. These markers can appear quite small, I know my head can say, it’s only a little thing, it’ll be fine, you can look at it tomorrow. Now I know that everything, every little thing, is connected to another thing and the tiniest thing is as important as the most ginormous thing energetically. There is NO leaving anything that jumps out at me today for tomorrow. It’s all connected.

201. It feels as though I have been aware of stop moments – and they have been revealing and yet at the time I chose to keep running my life in the momentum of struggle. I would feel confronted by the stop moments and then choose to run away, and that continued until I came upon Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine – and then everything clicked into place and I began the path of return. Thank you Denise for such a beautiful and inspiring blog.

     1. That is true. The true choices come from the body – the body feels harmonious and can feel very powerful with those choices while other choices provide relief or increase a tension that is already there.

202. it is a very sobering thing to know that we are given an opportunity to make choices that have the potential to change our lives forever in every single moment.

203. ‘It wasn’t just about having a smoke or taking drugs, it was far greater… it was about making a choice that would affect the rest of my life.’ Our choices no matter how small they seem have a huge momentum and impact on our life. Something I have learnt from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine and am still very much learning. As you so eloquently say ‘These moments that occur in our lives are like signposts along the way. We are given an opportunity to make choices that have the potential to change our lives forever.’

204. Thank you for your comment kevmchardy that makes so much sense and confirms that like you maybe I have been making the wrong choices for many lifetimes. As we begin to understand responsibility at a deeper level we can also feel the deepening of the connection to truth.

205. Yes, there are those choices which change our way and so our world in a profound way. But also I am reminded that every choice I make counts. Say, the choice you
     made to not have another glass of wine, you would have done differently and gone for another glass instead – this choice would have been also important. It would have confirmed the way you were at that time. As I see it, we are made to develop and evolve and so every choice should be made in this way. When we choose to stay where we are, we hold back in evolving. These are also very important choices we should have an eye on, I would say. As I choose to not connect to my true way – what do I then connect to? What do I say ‘yes’ to? As I connect to this realization, I am wondering why I am not always making choices which change the world into a better place, which means more expression of harmony, truth and love….

206. Just stopping for a few seconds mid sentence is sometimes al it needs to have us express in truth. That stop of reconnection is everything.

207. Wow Denise this is beautiful and so clearly showing the amazingness of connection to ourselves and the all. I love it and the way you have shared your life’s moments and the many more consistently you now live thanks to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, a real gift to humanity.

208. I have also had the experience of having access to a universal kind of wisdom which has guided and supported me through life, when I have connected to my body and my inner most.

209. i love how one choice to connect in one moment has the power to change your life forever, and not only that but to clear a long held onto ill momentum. To me that sums up what power is – a loving bulldozer that is ignited in less than a moment!

210. I feel we all have these moments and for me I just ignored them and went in the opposite direction and there was a big part of me that knew I was going against what I was being offered but too be honest I didn’t care I did it to spite myself. My family would say that I would ‘cut off my nose to spite my face’.
     With the support of Universal Medicine I have built much more self love in my body and because of this I am much more aware of the destructive behaviour I can go into to and not allow those thoughts to enter my body.

211. I remember as a child I would make connections about what I observed with an all knowing wisdom inside, that over the years I began to dismiss in favour of subscribing to what others thought…To know that wisdom is constant and its just a question of reconnecting to it is transforming how I feel in life as an adult.

212. Yes, grasping that mentally is straightforward but the real knowing of it does not come until we are living it and that takes practice as we unravel the ingrained patterns of many years.

213. Through the business, drama and complication of our day-to-day lives its easy to get wrapped up in self – Through connecting to ourselves and something far grander – this individualism dissipates and we become aware of our oneness with everything/everyone.

214. “When I stop to connect to me, I am connecting to something that is far grander.” It is amazing to realise that all that we truly desire comes from first connecting with oneself rather to something or someone that outside ourselves.

215. Thank you Denise, powerful blog. As I was reading it, I was reminded of many moments in my life where I had felt this deep connection to my body and to inner heart, very similar to what you’ve shared. I had a very similar experience too with drugs, I was offered many times to take drugs when I was a teenager. Your blog reminded me of how I felt and how my connection to my body supported me to make a very loving choice. I took a moment to consider what I was offered the very first time drugs was presented to me. I remember asking myself how my body would cope with the drugs if I said yes. I got a very clear message and a deep knowing that my body was very delicate, precious and not worth polluting it for something I was not even sure about. So, my answer was always a clear and firm ‘No’ to drugs. I also had a very similar experience with alcohol. Your blog really confirms how incredibly supportive and powerful it is to stay connected to our innate knowing and trusting what we feel.

216. We always have a choice and as you experienced, Denise, our bodies support us to make the choice if we choose to listen.

217. Wonderful confirmation that i do have the power to change my life. I did not realize that I had given up on the idea that I could change the parts of my life I did not like. I did not want to feel the fact that I had given up on myself either.
     With honesty and support from Simple-Living Global and Universal Medicine I am coming back to my power and I will never give up on myself again.

218. When I am truly connected, I am very still in my body. There’s a sense of simplicity and congruency. And yes, that feels super powerful.

219. Absolutely powerful Denise! As you say it is these moments that truly define what our life could be like if we continue along the same trajectory. I love how you have shared that these knowings came from something more, an aspect of us that is more than physical and has a deep wisdom.

220. Denise this is very powerful about your experience with drugs – that every cell in your body said no and so you were not offered them again. I agree that we all have little signposts in our lives, things that happen and we have a choice – yes or no. And if we claim that choice in full then it will rarely come around again. A very inspiring way to look at things – that energy has a big part to play in our choices.

221. Great sharing about the absolute power and beauty of our stop moments – they definitely happen and feel as though offered by grace and truth; it is up to us then to either embrace or reject them.

222. ‘These moments that occur in our lives are like signposts along the way. We are given an opportunity to make choices that have the potential to change our lives forever.’ – Very true Denise, we are all given signposts along the way and deep down we all know that the choice we make will make all the difference. Question is, how often do we override this knowing?

223. There is no denying that when the strength of such a true impulse is felt, life is not just about the physical. It cannot be – how can anything physical explain the accuracy and solidness of such a feeling? There is far far more to life than meets our eyes, paying attention to our choices on this level is crucial.

224. The courage to listen to that inner voice and connection…wonderfully inspirational

225. A powerful, relatable, inspiring and beautiful blog Denise – the choices are always there, but more often than not the tendency can be to ignore the true choice which flashes through first, in favour of following the second choice that follows equally fast :). Thus, in that nano-second moment, we choose to be and live in a state of lesser love and self-abuse.

226. Listening to the presentations of Serge Benhayon was to hear finally one man put words to feelings and experiences that I had had all my life which nothing and no-one else in the world had ever confirmed. It is deeply confirming to hear this one voice that refuses to resign, give up, or to align to anything less than absolute truth, and equally hugely uplifting to know that we hold that same truth within, and can make the same choice to hold steady in our own truth – and thus allow the truth to be heard for all.

227. What becomes very clear is that our every choice influences what comes thereafter, our every choice is more powerful than we think it to be and how important it is then to choose consciously and not let anything happen randomly.

228. I had those choices that you explain so clearly in this blog, I suppose we all had them…I made very different choices to you, committing to drugs and always saying yes when I was offered them. I was sure that my way back to me was through connecting to others and the others I had around me at that time were role modeling drugs as a form of connection. Due to drugs actually doing the opposite to reconnecting you, I was left feeling more alone, disconnected and empty than when I begun my silly experiments.
     Had I not met Serge Benhayon I most probably would have been still caught on my merry go round of addiction and drug indulgence, wasting my nights and days away under the influence of what ever I was offered. Thank fully some part of me knew that an endless party was not the answer and all the presentations I attended made sense. From there, I have been blessed to come come to my power, to me.

229. Your sharing of your personal connection with your body and with God is grand. I can already feel the ripple affect as others read this article, as it connects one deeply to themselves and triggers moments of their own where they too were connected. Clearly indicating a strong platform that many already have, when possibly they have never considered just how true, deep and strong their inner knowing has always been.

230. Dear Denise,
     I absolutely adore your article. I too can clearly remember moments in my life where I felt my connection with myself and the all. It has been this knowing and the feeling of these experiences that has often held me, and brought me back from moments of doubting, disliking and dissing myself. The power of each of them is eternal and enduring, present even in the darkest of times in my life. Never now do I doubt the power of being connected with my body.

231. It is great when we have that knowing and we trust it. It is very revealing when we don’t trust it and we make another choice and the learning is right before our eyes, showing us that all along, we knew.

232. Everyone has an image of self. What is interesting is how this image informs the making of choices that are significant and what this confirms about oneself. The image, the significant choices, the confirmation evolve as we do.

233. Thank you Denise

234. The moment you said no to the 2nd glass of wine – we have these moments, cross-roads, opportunities over and over again in every day of our lives. The switch for me was when I started to look at it as – not what I was saying no to…but what I was saying yes to. That’s the game-changer for me.

     1. Looking at it like a film is actually pin-point accurate. A film is made up of 24 (or 25 in the new digital age!) individual frames/images that flash past our eyes every second. Every single one of these images is in fact an opportunity and as the editor of our own films/lives, we can change the course by making an edit in between any one of these 24 frames and going a different route (or to a different shot). Beautiful analogy. And fun.

     2. Very struck by the tenderness of this Nick. It’s so powerful to hear men say stuff like this.

235. As a child I used to lie in bed at night and connect to this vast, infinite grandness. It was awesome. I didn’t know exactly what it was but it felt incredible. Then for thirty years I never felt that connection again…until I attended a Universal Medicine workshop….My brain can sometimes boggle at it all, but my body knows and so do I.

236. That steadiness and inner knowing and strength you speak of Denise we assume comes and goes with our moods and events of life. But none of that is true. The steadiness, knowing and inner strength is, but everything else we get caught in isn’t and feels nothing like that. Through consistent and loving care to ourself and development of our loving choices, we begin to see that everything is a choice, including how we feel.

237. Learning to love and care for ourselves through our choices, and not leave oneself until last, does lead as you so beautifully put it Denise, to “an absolute connection to everyone and everything beyond me. That is the glorious feeling inside me, my connection to the all.”

238. When I was 12 I was offered a cigarette from my friends. I took it and said I would try it at home. Got home went to the bathroom and locked the door. After a few puffs I started choking and thought this is not for me. Since then I have never been offered or drawn to smoke again . Wow, I can feel the power of that choice. Thank you Denise for writing this wonderful blog.

239. Reading this blog gave me such a powerful confirmation of all the loving choices I am making and the amazing positive impact this is having in my life. My awareness has expanded and as such I am following and trusting my impulses and or feelings. This is a huge shift for me.

240. Denise thank-you for sharing your experiences with that innate knowing within you that has been there all of your life. I think most of us have had at least one experience like this where there is this deep knowing that you may or may not have followed. Such is the feeling, that there is really nothing like it, and we are the ones who can make it come about, and it’s usually when you need it the most.

241. I loved reading this and connecting to the defining moments throughout my own life.Thanks Denise, that connection is always available to us, do we make the choice to stop and connect or not?

242. This should be shared with our younger generation. The choices we make and how they affect us as it is not talked about enough. When I was a teenager I remember getting a really clear message to not take drugs. At the time I never thought I would but later ignored this and took drugs from that point on my life went into a complete downward spiral … it was not good. Through the Sacred Esoteric Healing modalities and knowing Serge Benhayon I have been able to clear a lot from my body, including behaviours, beliefs and momentums that did not support me. My life has completely turned around and I am now starting to live more in line with what is true to me from a place of love.

243. It is incredible just how much we have and are in our connection to ourselves and to the love we are but also that for so many years we have chosen to live in separation to this. I know that I too get caught up in the outside world and forget the connection inside my however have also felt that absolute power in it when I have chosen this. Perhaps it’s the returning to something that we have missed so much that is an issue – becoming close to something again that hurt us so much to separate from by our own choosing previously. It still brings tears to my eyes every time I feel my connection to the all, The Hierarchy and to God.

244. What beautiful examples you share Denise, of your re-connecection and knowing from the body. I have had many similar ones too, they appear small but they are pivotal moments in our lives. And I can also look at the ones I ignored and they altered my life in a negative way for a while too. But there is no criticism from the body, we are given many opportunities when we go down a rabbit hole so we can return and have another go. When we feel the re-connection, we know we are on the right path, returning to who we truly are.

245. Amazing… our inner most connection never leaves us and it is equally in everyone. It’s what makes us all magnificently equal in our unique and divine expression.

246. What a glorious celebration of the power and potential depth of our connection to ourselves if we allow it. I can relate to moments in my life where my knowing of what was the true path e.g. saying No to drugs meant that my life went in a very different direction than it otherwise might have and eventually led to me re-connecting to the teachings of the Ancient Wisdom.

247. It is so true that every event in our lives has way more significance than just random, trivial happenings. If we are connected to ourselves then we can read the energetic meaning in all things and we just know how to respond.

248. It’s so true Denise that our true strength and power is always in connecting with ourselves first and when we do this, we naturally connect with every ‘thing’ and every ‘one’, in other words, as you say “to the all.”

249. Wow what a wonderful confirmation of your connection Denise, and the knowing from your body that the decisions you were making were correct for the situation at that time. I agree there are moments in our lives where we are given a choice to either go this way or that way, and these moments stay with us and feel pretty significant.

250. Denise this is a blog I am sure so many people will be able to relate to, those moments in our lives where we feel our inner strength and appreciate being alive and connected, or no to a fleeting thought or image pulling us away from ourselves. I felt the surrender lying on a beach as a young child, feeling still and absolutely connected to nature, the birds, the breeze and the sun. These feelings of completeness and connection as you say are something very grand beyond our physical existence.

251. Connection one billion precent changes your whole life, imagine if the whole world knew how simple the answer was to all their problems and miseries, and that it all starts with connection. Connection teaches us that we know exactly what to do and who we are.

     1. ‘Every choice has the power to change the rest of our lives.’ I absolutely love what you’re saying here, imagine how powerful this line would be for someone with depression, or struggling with life, the fact that your life can begin to change now, this moment, depending on your next choice.

252. Beautiful Denise. I love the strength and power in this blog, and I love how you have always been so aware of your choice to stay committed to yourself or not.
