I have suffered from depression for years and since I have been attending the Universal Medicine workshops, courses and retreat I can feel the hurt and sadness slowly and gently lifting. The support and love shown me by practitioners and fellow students has provided me with a safe and nurturing environment to open up to past hurts and let go of the ongoing influences these have had on my life.
I am now in the process of gently building a body and life of love, allowing myself to be me without any expectations of how that should be. I am finding that as I am opening up to myself I am also opening up to others, connecting with the people in my life in a more loving, generous and fulfilling way.
The physical symptoms I suffered along with depression, such as gum disease and low blood pressure, have been treated by the relevant health practitioners: Dentist, Periodontist, GP and Cardiologist.
The support of my being, and the process of clearing the underlying causes of my illnesses, have come from Universal Medicine, its students and, of course, me.
Thank you for everything.
The Truth about Universal Medicine 
The combination of mainstream medicine and Universal Medicine is a very good combo indeed.
Everything matters, and the support that Universal Medicine modalities offer, really makes the difference.
Conventional and Universal Medicine work hand in hand, because Universal Medicine supports us to use the wisdom we know deep down that in turn supports our body, when we are willing to let go of the what is not.
“I am finding that as I am opening up to myself I am also opening up to others, connecting with the people in my life in a more loving, generous and fulfilling way” – I agree. So often we look at our problems and try to fix them one by one and it feels like a never ending process, but if we can start from connecting with ourselves first, it becomes easier to understand why things are the way things are, and life starts to look more simple and we feel more capable of being in the world.
We certainly are more than our physicality alone and in taking this into account when we are looking to heal we soon discover that behind every ailment or illness is an energy that we have aligned to that is the cause. With Conventional Medicine alongside Universal Medicine modalities I have also experienced incredible and sustaining changes to my health and well-being. It is amazing to witness the transformation that follows when we choose love to be the quality of energy that moves us, and bring our awareness to what quality we are being moved by throughout our day.
The shadow of depression is like a wound and if we keep it covered it festers. But if we allow those hurts to come up to the light they can no longer control us and can be let go.
That in itself prove that depression to talk about one condition is a condition and not a disease that is unalterable and unchangeable. If we look at it that way it’s way easier to change things around and not be caught under the banner of being struck by something unchangeable. And this also takes us back to us actually having a say in what occurs in our lives as well.
More and more people have depression now more than ever before, even children as young as six are being diagnosed with depression! Something to tell us how we are currently living is very very ‘wrong’ and what I have noticed over the last few months is the different levels of depression that are there .. where people may not look or seem depressed however on the inside (within) they are. Therefore it is truly awesome to hear how with the support of conventional and Universal Medicine you have turned this around for yourself, a story definitely worth sharing so others know it is absolutely possible to completely heal depression.
Thank you, GW. It is good to share and to let people in at every level because this grows us all as we live and learn with each other. No one must be left behind as we all go deeper into the awareness that is on offer to us now. You have let people in which means that you have chosen brotherhood. This is very precious.
I love the title of this blog, it says it all for me, ‘conventional meets universal’.
What ever medicine it is, I feel the ultimate decision lies with the individual to heal themselves of their past hurts, the support is fully there from all medicines. And when we make that decision we then take the responsibility to not only heal ourselves but also how we come to harm ourselves.
Thank you GW, although your blog was short I was deeply touched by it, especially this line “I am finding that as I am opening up to myself I am also opening up to others, connecting with the people in my life in a more loving, generous and fulfilling way.” That to me is actually a miracle, today so many people are shut down, they are no longer open to others and living this way is quite joyless – we are naturally meant to connect to one another. Universal Medicine has also supported me in the same way, and their strong stance on the benefits of seeking medical support has as well.
There seems to be more depression around then any other time I remember. It’s not that I am that old but I just don’t remember so so many people being affected by this when I was younger. Some may say it’s because we are more aware of it and that maybe partly true but why is it here so great now regardless. They say we have more health practitioners with us then any other time in history and yet we have things like depression continuing to climb. It has to hit to our approach, how are we looking at things like depression and how are we living that would bring us such a debilitating condition?
Thank you GW for sharing your experience of the support you received from Universal Medicine and Conventional Medicine and the choices you made to heal your hurts.
Universal Medicine supports us while we look at our hurts and problems and realise that they are holding us back from being all that we truly are.
It takes honesty and a willingness to let go of that which is not true in order to heal, and Universal Medicine offers us all the resources we will ever need in order to keep up with our own evolution.
Universal Medicine is the self-prescribed and self-administered medicine of true love that we infuse into our way of living every day to release and heal the hurts we have taken on.
Awesome GW, choosing to heal on a deeper level and accept the support you have around you inspires people who may be going through similar illness and symptoms to know that they too can heal. Our healing process/journey starts with us being open and willing to take responsibility for our choices and embrace true healing and the support available to us.
I know of hundreds of people who have made choices to totally change their lives after being inspired by Serge Benhayon – it is incredible to observe the changes that have been made by so many people – I have never seen anything else like it – not just quick fixes but sustained true changes where the quality of their life and relationships is much more solid and loving.
I only can agree as it is my own experience as well – that Conventional and Universal Medicine and also my own responsibility for my body and health has made myself so much more healthier.
It’s absolutely amazing when I let go of expectations and pictures of how I think I should be and simply accept who I am and where I am at. Having no expectations means there is no disappointment and if there is no disappointment there is no judgement. So it’s simple really – expectations leads to judgement which are awful to feel whether they are directed inwards or outwards.
I agree Lucy, if I am envisioning where I need to be, or should be, then I miss out on the joy of appreciating myself exactly where I am right now. This is a great line, so simple and clear “Having no expectations means there is no disappointment and if there is no disappointment there is no judgement.”
“I am now in the process of gently building a body and life of love, allowing myself to be me without any expectations of how that should be.” Imagine getting to know yourself by an expression that is already there within, it is just you saying yes to it? We just have to say yes to the magnificence that we already are.
This is a beautiful sharing GW on the power of Universal Medicine teachings to transform and support us to deeply heal any issues that maybe holding us back from being all of who we truly are.
“I am finding that as I am opening up to myself I am also opening up to others, connecting with the people in my life in a more loving, generous and fulfilling way.” – how great is this – truly Universal Medicine!
A very beautiful testimony GW. Not necessarily an easy task to look at and letting go of our hurts, but always worthwhile when we consider how it can change our life.
That is so true GW, never before in my life have I supported myself and my body as I do now. I have regular health checks with my GP and I am much more aware in how I personally care for my body on a daily basis. I would have never taken these steps without first choosing to be a student of Universal Medicine.
Over the last 11 years I have personally experienced the wonderful healing that can come from the union of conventional medicine and Universal Medicine, and have also witnessed the same for many others. This union honours the amazing tools that conventional medicine provides and the huge commitment of the many allied health professionals, as well as the support that Universal Medicine offers us to understand what has lead us to the place where we find ourselves suffering from illness or disease. This is one union that has the power to change medicine as we know it.
There is always a root cause of why people feel depressed and at the core of this is always unresolved hurt and sadness. To truly heal ourselves we need the support of others to help us let go of all this hurt and sadness we have accumulated over our lives. As we commit to this healing and letting go process we begin to open just like a flower does to the sunlight and rebuild our trust and relationship not only with ourselves, but all others equally.
Beautifully said Suse. As I was reading your comment I realised that the deepest form of healing requires us to accept the loving support from people around us. Allowing people into our lives for support and building our trust in people again is a key part to our healing process.
Thank you Suse for your stunning comment, beautifully expressed. Your words make so much sense. I have also noticed how much more I can trust and be open with others now because I have had such loving support from Universal Medicine to heal the hurts I had accumulated, and also to reconnect to the true essence of me again and begin to blossom from there.
GW I can relate to the feeling of love you experienced from Universal Medicine and its practitioners, and the profound effects this has on your healing. It’s amazing that the world seems to be based on anything but love, but coming to Universal Medicine I have come to clearly understand this is why the world is not currently working. Love works.
A profound and stunning testimony as to the healing power of committing to building a life of love based on the principles and loving support of Universal Medicine.
It’s beautiful to feel your appreciation GW. Indeed Universal Medicine provides a safe and nurturing environment where, if we are prepared to take responsibility and deal with our hurts as you obviously are, we can begin to let down the guards that we have so seemingly successfully placed to the outside world for healing to occur.
The biggest mistake modern medicine has made is separating the body from the being. Treating them as one would progress the medical industry much.
At this point our practice on treating the body is amazing, yet without the being we are only fixing a leaky radiator yet not removing the fluid that corroded it in the first place.
I agree GW, Conventional Medicine and Universal Medicine work beautifully together providing us with true support to let go of old patterns and hurts and to begin to truly heal.
‘The support and love shown me by practitioners and fellow students has provided me with a safe and nurturing environment to open up to past hurts and let go of the ongoing influences these have had on my life.’ It is very beautiful when we are able to open up without being compared or judged, as it gives us the freedom to be who we are.
Absolutely Sally this is so essential for true healing to occur: to know without a doubt that we are held in true love, the kind that has no judgements or expectations, no sympathy, empathy or investment, a love that allows us to be all that we are in every moment.
Beautiful point Felix and so true ‘there is no area of my life that is not supported by Universal Medicine’s philosophy, science and religion’.
There is no area of my daily life that is not supported by Universal Medicine’s philosophy, science or religion. It’s all-emcompassing.
I have seen quite some miracles when Universal Medicine complements conventional medicine. And the best thing about it: it is not a secret science, it is simply a loving way to live your daily life!
Having conventional medicine as part of support to healing allows me to make an informed decision, rather than the one coming out of ideals and beliefs held by bias and reaction.
The love and care shown by Universal Medicine and it’s practitioners is beautiful and allows us to truly heal. Thank you GW for sharing your amazing return to health and well being with the support of Universal Medicine and Conventional Medicine.
The beauty of combining conventional medicine with Universal Medicine is – to my mind – the answer to true healing. Both aspects are needed very often. In the conventional model we often – at best – just fix symptoms and don’t find a root cause. This was what led me away from conventional medicine – as a nurse – and down a path of searching for true healing. Not until I came across Universal Medicine have I stopped and said – ‘yes , this is it.’
Thank you for sharing GW. It’s amazing the healing true support can bring about. I have had a similar experience.
Thank you GW for sharing your words and the process you have entered into with the support of Universal Medicine and Conventional Medicine to deal with the underlying causes of illness in your body .
That is a great example of why and how conventional medicine and universal medicine complement each other so that healing is all-encompassing and no longer patchwork like in dividing body and being, giving the pieces to the specialized profession and wondering that in the end we don´t feel being a whole anymore.
I love the simplicity of your blog GW as it reflects the fact that you are now making choices that support you, utilising both conventional medicine to heal the illness within your body and esoteric modalities to heal the underlying cause of those issues. It feels like a marriage made in heaven, a true holistic approach to healing.
Awesome sharing GW, depression can be very hard to shift with the patient’s behaviour often reinforcing the condition, and making them unwilling to be around new people. How wonderful that you were open to receiving the support of Universal Medicine and the community that surrounds it.
The depth of support from practitioners and the student body is one of a kind, never before have I experienced or witnessed this from a large global group
As a student of Universal Medicine and my own body and soul, this is a wonderful but not uncommon story. Whereas as a health practitioner, this is a miracle. In my experience, few people once diagnosed with an illness actually heal themselves. At best most of us learn to manage and control symptoms.
I could feel the gentle way you are now holding yourself GW as I read your blog. This is really such an essential ingredient for health and wellbeing. What a difference it would make if people could be taught this as a basis for resolving depression or any other illness.
The process you have described of gently letting hurts go and building a body and life of love, without expectations is deeply beautiful to read and such a gorgeous way to heal.
“I am now in the process of gently building a body and life of love, allowing myself to be me without any expectations of how that should be.”
That is so true GW, no expectations of how being me should feel or look like. Re-connecting to and re-discovering myself and my true expression.
Opening up to life and everyone in it sure does turn the tables around making life so much more then what were lead to believe.
I love the simplicity of this GW. It is powerful when we choose to take responsibility of our lives and the choices that we make, it not only creates more harmony and love in our bodies but also rubs off on to others around us. Thank you.
Thank you for your heartfelt sharing GW. Whilst I don’t feel I have suffered from depression, except maybe after the birth of my children, I feel that since I have been allowing people in more and sharing more of myself with others, I have so much more joy in my life. I feel more alive and relaxed with far fewer expectations (I’d like to say none – work in progress!).
I too ‘am finding that as I am opening up to myself I am also opening up to others’.
This is simple science of energy, but one that is not lived, nor taught enough in the world. Thank You Universal Medicine!
Absolutely GW what your blog is absolutely about support at every level. The combination of conventional medicine and Universal Medicine is the way to go for true healing. True healing can only occur when we take responsibility for all the choices we have made and start living from what we feel in our body.
I love the simplicity and practicality of this blog – it says it how it is and does not become complicated. It feels so amazing when I can look back and feel how far I have come over the last few years since finding the support of Universal Medicine, and how my willingness has allowed me to let go of many debilitating ways that I used to live my life. It feels now as though I chose depression as a way to avoid living life fully, although that would have been hard at the beginning.
“Support at every level” – that’s a big statement! I feel like sitting down and really tasting it. Support at every level? Where do I really get this? I can say from my experience during the last 2 years: It’s true support from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
Thank you for sharing your experience with how your life was with depression and you asking for help by both the Universal Medicine and the conventional medicine. Together supporting you to health.
Awesome sharing GM. I love how you say you are ‘gently building a body and life of love, allowing myself to be me without any expectations of how that should be. I am finding that as I am opening up to myself I am also opening up to others, connecting with the people in my life in a more loving, generous and fulfilling way’. I can totally relate to what you are saying because that is exactly what I myself and I see many others who attend Universal Medicine presentations and workshops doing also. To be able to do it together and support each other through the challenges and curve balls that come our way each and every day and to know you are not doing it alone is a true gift and makes the process even more amazing.
How awesome is to find a set of people and practitioners that can naturally help you out from a state of depression and a set of teachings that can help you to build your own path out of it! Universal Medicine and the people associated with it are a true blessing.
This is a lovely sharing of how Universal Medicine supports conventional medicine. It’s not about having either only complimentary therapy or only conventional medicine, this will never support the person as a whole. The way forward for humanity is to have both types of practices, and to allow people the free will to choose what support they need and how they need it. Some people may only want conventional medicine and nothing to do with complimentary therapies such as modalities offered by Universal Medicine, and this is super fine also. But if there are others who want both then this should equally be allowed.
The move being made by some health care activists to try and shut down complimentary therapies is only delaying the inevitable, and it confuses me as to what is their driving cause to this? I’m also sure that such health care activists are not 100% aware of the consequences of shutting down access to many complimentary therapies such as Universal Medicine. My feeling is there will be a back lash from society, at one point or another, and possibly some people refusing conventional treatment, which is not the answer either. It will be interesting and some what sad to watch it all unfold.
This is a good point you are making here Danielle. The medical system is already heading into bankruptcy and doctors and hospital staff are exhausted. If the support of complementary medicine, such as Universal Medicine, should be falling away, how will they be able to cope? We need people to take more responsibility for their health and GWs story is a wonderful example how this can be done.
Yes you’re right Judith, it feels that the way the medical system is heading eventually the patients will have no other option but taking change and responsibility for their own health. This may be many years away yet.
Thank you GW, Danielle and Judith, I agree we all should take total responsibility for our own health first, then be open to complementary therapies such as Universal Medicine which is complementary to Conventional Medicine. Is it possible that this is the way forward from all our ills and in doing so, saving the medical system from bankruptcy!
Very simply and directly expressed, GW, how the combination of Western and Esoteric Medicine is such an effective mix – the Western the physical symptoms and the Esoteric the underlying causes.
Thank-you for such an honest sharing, GW. In this, it feels that you’ve laid out plainly, just what true healing is about, that being: attending to all that is going on physically with appropriate medical support, and, opening ourselves to love and being loved again, through addressing the places where we may have closed down.
The opening you share feels very precious, and I can absolutely relate to feeling supported in reconnecting to oneself through association with Universal Medicine. Coming back to ourselves, can be ‘steady steps’ at times, and necessarily so, yet blogs such as this are so needed, that others may know how very real a possibility it is, to turn things around, and once again have a sense of oneself that can feel whole, rich and full.
GW for eons we have lived, in self constructed isolation from our brothers. How unnatural to mechanically hold ourselves away from everybody else when WE ARE EACH OTHER ! It’s like a drop of water in the ocean spending all of it’s time upholding the illusion that it is not part of the sea ! What relief that we are now letting ourselves fall into one another and at last uniting in the love that we have always been. Hallelujah and yes, praise the Lord x
I can relate to your blog very well, GM, as I was depressed and given up as well as having low blood pressure and gum disease. Many years of conventional and alternative medicine kept me just about ticking over, until I came to Universal Medicine. That’s when I started to really heal, just like you describe in your blog.
Your words speak for so many of us who are gently finding the way to heal our hurts with the support of Universal Medicine. I have not suffered from diagnosed depression but was often deeply depressed about the state of humanity and this affected how I was with myself. How could I enjoy life while others were suffering such painful existence? With the support of Universal Medicine I am reconnecting to the love within me and learning to share this love and joy with others and in doing so I am healing my own buried hurts.
