An Educator Speaks: The Ripple Effect of Care & Wellbeing in our Education System

by NB (40) – Early Years Classroom Teacher and Beginning Teachers Mentor

I am writing in response to the current news coverage and portrayal of Universal Medicine. Having worked in education over the past twenty years in a number of classrooms, administration and leadership roles, I felt very disheartened in the way the system was changing not only through the current transition into the National Curriculum but the general level of wellbeing of myself and my colleagues. The rate of illness, exhaustion and overall lack of staff morale is staggering.

Experiencing some health issues I became aware of the workshops provided by Universal Medicine, and attended some workshops and private sessions at the clinic. The work of the clinicians was conducted with the utmost respect and I was lovingly supported through each session and the choices that I had made. Through the teachings I was able to recognise the need for me to bring balance back into my life by developing a healthy level of self-care and regard which naturally had a rippling effect in my work life.

Humanity is Not in Great Shape

by Matilda Clark

Pondering our current situation it is not hard to see that humanity is not in great shape… disease, corruption, war and social dysfunction are ever present all over the world. Looking back at history the cycles go on repeating and we do not learn or choose to change. There is no sense of unity: whilst we talk about caring for all mankind, we keep ourselves separate and distant from one another with adherence to one or another particular religion, a passion for upholding nationality or retaining some culture over and above another, whether it serves everyone well or not. We have a habit of placing one group of people in a position of higher importance than another, whether that is family, old school friends, club members, church goers, neighbours as opposed to foreigners, people with different beliefs, young people, old people etc etc. Continue reading “Humanity is Not in Great Shape” →

My Body has Never led me Astray

by Naren Duffy, Australia

I was invited to have a listen to a series of recorded talks given by Serge Benhayon. Upon listening to the first of the recordings I could immediately feel that there was something different being presented here. Some of it did not quite ‘work’ with what I had been reading or doing until then, but the question that was being posed to me, not by Serge, but by myself was, “what has actually been working in your life up to this point?”.

I had dallied with different spiritual teachings and read loads of spiritual books, done psychedelic and recreational drugs, studied Reiki, massage, etc. etc. etc. All of these had varying, though temporary levels of making me feel good for a while. But eventually the underlying discontent with the way my life was would creep back in and the search for the next thing to ‘add to my tool belt’ would begin again.

It’s in the Way I Walk

by Joseph Barker, Australia

Three years ago a friend gave me a CD of a presentation given by Serge Benhayon. In this presentation Serge asked: “Is it possible that the energy we choose in every moment of our lives, creates life as we know it to be?”

This simple question gave me an opportunity to be honest about the energy I was living in every day. I came to see that my body was not here to betray me or let me down, but had been trying to tell me the truth every day, in its own way. When I ate something that was not for me, my stomach hurt. When I didn’t speak honestly, I got sore, stiff and hunched. When I got stressed and racy, my body felt drained of energy. The body really speaks loudly, when you let it.

I no Longer Worry if Someone Thinks I’m Odd for Caring for & Nurturing Myself

I spent about 20 years of my life drinking, partying, trying to be one of the lads and having a complete lack of self-worth. I got really ill as a teenager from over-drinking alcohol, but just carried on as it was what I felt gave me confidence and was what all young people did, I didn’t know another way of being. It came to the point where I got so sick, I wasn’t digesting food properly and I had constant diarrhoea.

I decided to seek help, I was advised by a nutritionist to stop eating gluten and dairy and to cut down on my alcohol consumption. Over the next couple of years I started to feel better and decided to stop drinking alcohol altogether as I noticed how sick it made me. The problem was that this alienated my friends, all of a sudden I didn’t have a social life and my friends thought I was weird for not drinking. So even though my body was feeling better, my lack of self-worth was still there and especially now I felt like the odd one out.
