A Practitioner’s Perspective – ‘I Knew Something was Missing!’

by Jenny Ellis, Brisbane, Australia.

I speak from the perspective of a practitioner of 25 years experience, well regarded and successful in my practice in Brisbane and from a base of having always worked closely with members of the medical profession, for many years working directly alongside them in integrative health practices.

As a Naturopath, Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist, I had access to an enormous bank of information about what was needed to be healthy and I was a dedicated student and practitioner who practised what I preached. So I lived the sort of lifestyle that was considered super healthy.

But I still personally woke each morning with hay fever that lasted a couple of hours (every day from age 9 or 10), I got a bad headache every month before a period, suffered eczema in patches on my arms and legs (from age 3), I still had lower back soreness regularly and occasional episodes where I felt down or sad for no good reason. I was better off than the majority of clients that I saw though and I accepted that constantly taking things and getting treatment for these ailments was normal. And what’s more relevant, that this had nothing to do with my ability to help another. Continue reading “A Practitioner’s Perspective – ‘I Knew Something was Missing!’” →

Simple Truths: Food & Health – ‘the body knows’

by Anna Karam

As the owner of a health food store and an active student of Universal Medicine, I would like to respond to the recent articles regarding Serge Benhayon and the suggestions he is ‘leading a cult’ in which members are supposedly asked or forced to make drastic changes to their diets.

In all my years of studying nutrition, never have I seen a food philosophy that is so freeing and yet so loving and supportive to the body as that which Universal Medicine offers. It is a philosophy that allows one to feel for themselves a way to be with food that brings more harmony to the body. Call me crazy, but isn’t this something we all truly want?

Mum & Me: She can See the Sparkle in my Eyes

Simply put, without exception or exclusion, my relationships with people have developed a quality of openness, honesty and love that I express from within me. Prior to attending some of the workshops and presentations by Serge Benhayon, I was sometimes cold and calculating. Even my own mother would agree with this. This just meant that I was protective of myself and had hardened myself against ‘life’ and some of its hurtful experiences.

The work of Serge Benhayon is not some “follow the guru to salvation”, but a presentation of information about how I can begin to honestly look at myself, very deeply, and continue to do so, even when things seemed to be going well in my life. There is a level of responsibility that I have taken for myself, my actions and relationships, and an honesty that I am able to express, that was simply not present before. I was choosing to hide behind a wall or a mask that to most people looked pretty good. But all along I felt the sadness, the lack of connection and the loneliness that I was creating.

I was Searching for Something More… but I Didn’t Know What

by K. James (60), London, UK

When I look back at my life I can see now what I couldn’t see then: I had no love for myself, was searching for something more (but did not know what) and was directionless.

I met Serge Benhayon eight years ago and attended his first UK workshop and felt immediately who he is. What he presented was different from anything else I had ever experienced before. He was authentic, honest, clear and loving. I have been a friend and student of Universal Medicine ever since.

Through workshops and sessions with practitioners I learned about gentleness and how important it was to be gentle first with myself, before I could be gentle with others. Continue reading “I was Searching for Something More… but I Didn’t Know What” →

True Love – I Found my Own Way

by Mary Adler

I first listened to a presentation by Serge Benhayon in June 2006. I attended with considerable reluctance as I thought “this just wasn’t me”. During the presentation I felt almost immediately that this was what I had unwittingly been searching for all my life. I was hearing the truth and it just made sense. I wrestled with the awareness that I had wasted so much of this life and made so many un-loving choices. I had always striven to please others, be a good daughter, wife, mother, friend, work colleague, member of the community, etc. So why the constant dissatisfaction with myself and my life? Surely, there was something more? What was life all for?

The continuing presentations by Serge Benhayon and others in Universal Medicine answered, and continue to answer, all my questions. Here was the truth that I felt I had always known. It awakened my connection to my inner love and truth. I am now working to deepen my connection to this awesome love. Gone are the dissatisfaction, the doubts and deep sadness that pervaded my existence. Continue reading “True Love – I Found my Own Way” →

A Couple Share their Story – ‘Making Love is Easy’

by Rod Harvey and Sue Kira

Rod’s Story

Sue and I met about eight years ago and bonded instantly (actually, the physical bonding was enjoyed a little later). Since that time we’ve been inseparable and have had a wonderful relationship based on mutual respect and admiration and a deep love for each other. During this time we have never had an argument (who needs arguments when a discussion will sort out differing points of view).

We also both enjoyed salsa dancing and played in a samba carnival drumming group. Life together has been marvellous and we’ve had lots of fun times and adventures while supporting each other through the stuff of life.

About two and a half years into our relationship we began to attend presentations by Serge Benhayon from Universal Medicine. From Serge’s presentations and workshops we developed a deeper understanding of ourselves and humanity. While the dynamics of our relationship did not vary greatly on a surface level, as time moved on the depth of our love changed – there was more tenderness and making love took over from sex.
