I have a professional relationship with Sally and have known her since February 2011, she is the Manager of the service I work in and I am a Team Senior. I am aware that she at times goes to do courses with Universal Medicine and she offers an esoteric meditation every week for those who wish to attend. More recently during our strategic planning day she organised for the team to be introduced to a simple body awareness workshop run by Victoria Carter, which was inspired by the work of Universal Medicine.
So Sally is a student of Universal Medicine and what does this mean for me on a daily basis?
She has a presence in the office that represents calmness amongst chaos, balance against unbalanced, inclusiveness, transparency, she is articulate and expresses honestly, she always has time for us, she understands the intenseness of our roles and is able to provide clear direction to staff that look to her for leadership, she is humble. It is the most supportive, caring and loving work place I have ever been in and this is credited to Sally’s leadership and her way of being in the office. She has integrity and respect for everyone she works with.
I would like to take this opportunity to say that Sally has set a very professional standard at our service, one based on her ability to be aware of how we are being with each other in the office and not purely focused on our outcomes. Sally’s style of management should be closely observed as it has allowed our team to develop with a sense of inclusiveness, open to sharing and learning from each other and has produced a team that appreciates what each other person brings.
So if Universal Medicine has played even the smallest part in supporting Sally to develop into who she is today, then she should definitely continue as a student of its presentations. Our work environment is an amazing place to come into every day and I love coming to work.
The Truth about Universal Medicine 
Sounds awesome Mereti. What you describe is so essential when it comes to having a workplace that truly works. I’m working in a store and know how beneficial it is to be steady when the tempo is high and also be open to what is needed for me in my development as things shift in the workplace and in regards to customers and staff as well.
What I love about working with Universal Medicine students is the purpose they have and we all share. The understanding and care that is felt between each other is papable.
Mereti thank you for your testimonial about Sally and her involvement with Universal Medicine and what that means for your workplace. This for me epitomises what Universal Medicine offers people, the chance to truly heal and reconnect to our true selves, and bring the love and care we naturally are at our core to every part of our lives including our workplaces.
What a great testimony to Sally and to Universal Medicine. Thank you Mereti.
Simply being who we are has a beautiful impact around us. Whatever thing that supports us to fully be ourselves is a treasure that flourishes through our living quality.
This is a great testimonial of that. Thanks for sharing Mereti Te Wao!
It is so important to have someone at work or study who does make it about people and not just about the outcomes, results and goals.
When people are given space and constant confirmation, flowering takes place.
Beautiful to confirm the quality of work another brings to the work place and how inspiring it is. When we see and feel the quality and commitment in another, it automatically encourages us to raise our own quality and explore how they came about the quality they have.
Wow. What a beautiful testimony. I would love to work with someone like that. And if I do, I would definitely want to know how they do what they do.
This so beautifully confirms the quality lived by students of The Way of The Livingness, and how Universal Medicine offers a way of living that enriches not only our lives but all the relationships we engage in. A way of living where love, truth, care, integrity, respect and appreciation are the ‘normal’ foundations throughout every aspect of our living day.
“She has a presence in the office that represents calmness amongst chaos” just that would be worth Gold on the corporate market of treasured values.
By this blog we can see how much we love to see and observe people bring something unique with respect and integrity. And that if we would allow this in everyone to come out, by starting within yourself first of course, it will be a whole different dynamic in the workplace and life. Hence what Universal Medicine teaches – we can all live, in our lives and with each other.
I loved reading this blog there is so much appreciation to what Sally brings to the work environment and knowing that being a student of Universal Medicine we are forever evolving and learning. How amazing your work environment must be – thank you for sharing your appreciation.
Universal Medicine students are a walking blessing. This is a great confirmation.
The fact that for that reason someone is eager to come to work is highly unusual. It has to be fully appreciated.
“Our work environment is an amazing place to come into every day and I love coming to work.” Thank you Mereti for sharing your appreciation of the beautiful reflection Sally brings to everyone at your office, the principles of love in action are profound in their effects.
A beautiful testament to Sally and Universal Medicine.
Yes Lucy and showing what an inspiration Sally is in the workplace, from living connected to who she truly is.
What Universal Medicine offers to all those that choose to be involved is truly life changing. Its beautiful to hear how it extends out the wider community. The fact that you have taken the time to write this is just so sweet, it moves me.
“Our work environment is an amazing place to come into every day and I love coming to work.” We can all be inspired by those who truly care for those they work with and bring this amazingness and love for work into every workplace.
Thank you Mereti for sharing how you and those you work with are inspired by the energetic integrity and love of working with a student of Universal Medicine. When we are inspired by another’s way of being we can be inspired to equally live with this energetic responsibility to ourselves and those around us.
What an incredible testimonial to sally and The Ancient Wisdom presented by Serge Benhayon and Universal medicine. It’s lovely to see how someone has made work about people first. This is what is missing in many workplace, if truth be told lives, homes, relationships, families, across the globe.
Amazing the difference that one person can make when they choose to express the love that they are.
It is beautiful to revisit this blog Mereti. The absolute respect with which you hold Sally and that was known in your workplace when this was written is inspiring in itself. And I am again so deeply heartened to witness someone unreservedly standing up for another’s character – especially when that person and any organisation they affiliate with has been so falsely maligned.
When such transgressions occur, all of our voices matter. Thank-you.
Mereti I would love to work in such a wonderful atmosphere. It is not easy to find such a place of integrity and transparency nowadays in the business area. Thank you for not holding back your experience with working with Sally as it shows very clearly that there is an other more loving and respectful way to be the Manager of the service.
Mereti a beautiful testament of how we can all work together when we live respecting and regarding ourselves. This quality and reflection Sally brings to the workplace is much needed in every work environment. This would definitely cut down sick and stress leave and wanting to escape out the door at the end of the week or desperate for the weekend.
This is beautiful Mereti, to appreciate the qualities that Sally openly shares with you and your team. It sounds like you have a very supportive workplace, that is open to observing and learning from each other. Sally is an inspiration to the staff at your workplace and we definitely need more role models like her.
You have written such a simple but very powerful testimonial for Sally and throughout it I could feel your respect and support for her. To have someone like her in any office offers the staff another way of working and being with others, something that is definitely lacking in most offices I have ever worked in, but something that is absolutely needed, everywhere.
This is an amazing testimony to business and being professional. I have not heard of many if any, workplaces that operate like this. It is worth reading again and inspiring to have that where I work.
What an amazing testimonial to Sally and Universal Medicine. Thank you.
Yes it is amazing Lucy! This shows how the ripple effects of the teachings of Universal Medicine works when it is lived by dedicated students such as Sally. This blog confirms how Sally naturally has a positive and loving impact on people she works with and no doubt also with people she meets every day. This is the beauty of choosing to live in a loving way.
Beautiful to hear Mereti, thanks for sharing!
A very practical testimonial – thank you – and serves to dispel the myths created by the media back in 2012. We always fear what we don’t wish to understand.
It is beautiful to read Mereti your appreciation of Sally and what she brings to your workplace everyday, her openness and loving quality has inspired you in many ways.
My sentiments exactly. Thank you for such a simple testimonial.
I love what you have shared Mereti. This is a beautiful example of being inspired by another.
It is amazing how the presentations offered by Universal Medicine simply remind us of the beauty and love that lives within, your sharing is beautiful in that it is this you see and feel in Sally, and now Mareti, also within your self.
I love this Mareti. What you describe – “She has a presence in the office that represents calmness amongst chaos, balance against unbalanced, inclusiveness, transparency, she is articulate and expresses honestly, she always has time for us, she understands the intenseness of our roles and is able to provide clear direction to staff that look to her for leadership, she is humble” are amazing qualities ! Super lucky to have someone so solid for a manager.
What a great appreciation piece to re-read.
Many workplaces today are intense and chaotic environments that all too often appear to prioritize productivity over quality and appreciation of the staff responsible for that output. To have someone amongst the chaos hold steady and support everyone else to do the same is very inspiring indeed. Great blog Mereti.
If you are ever looking for the simple truth, here it is.
What I love about the blog is the absolutely authority it is written with, there is no trying to convince, because it’s not needed, it’s real and from a real life lived experience of what it is to work with someone who brings so much support to her workplace. Both writer, work colleague and blog very inspiring, confirming, joyful to read and humble.
This blog blows away any uncertainty or untruths written or said about Universal Medicine, it confirms the power of how we live, and how that can support so many people seen and unseen every day.
This is an incredible testimonial and reflection of the power offered in the way someone lives.
Mereti this is a truly stunning testimony. It is such a pleasure to read such heartfelt appreciation of Sally and what she has brought the staff and office. To have any member of staff representing calmness and balance amongst the chaos of a working environment is a blessing to all who work there and a testimony in itself to the power of living the loving principles of Universal Medicine and the profound effect this can have.
Mereti,
What a beautiful way to express your experience and appreciation of Sally. It’s very inspiring to read about another’s observations of someone who chooses self care and awareness to be their foundation at work and the knock on affect that has on an entire workplace.
Thank you Mereti. It’s really encouraging to read of a workplace that is inclusive and where competition is not at the fore and how much one person’s presence can make a difference.
Beautifully said Mary and a great point that this way of being is “medicine for all”. How true this is.
When the chaos seems to envelop us the only quality we can ensure is our own. Thereby holding steady is our only real tool.
Thank you Mereti and Mary, I agree, this is so well expressed by you both. Clearly the workshops and presentations by Serge Benhayon are having a resounding affect on all of society!
Wow Mereti this is a beautiful confirmation of what it means if someone is allowing, in this case, herself to be who she is as this gives all others in the workplace the space to be who they are. It offers you the opportunity to grow all together. How important is it to make work about people and not solely about the outcomes. Thank you writing down your experiences.
Well said Annelies. I find it magical how honouring more, being truly and deeply caring with ourselves, living all we truly are, effortlessly flows out as inspiration and love for all others.
This is a great example of the change we can make if we choose to live love and truth. Then we can uplift our environment instead of letting the environment wear us down.
There is such an aura of beauty and grace around the students of Universal Medicine. They are not perfect, but therein lays the possibility to really connect, it makes each other accessible.
Beautifully expressed Mereti of the amazing qualities that Sally brings to the office everyday and the positive effect this has on everyone around her.
Mereti thank you for sharing the deep appreciation you feel for Sally, so beautifully and graciously, your sentiments are very touching. When love is present we can’t help but respond. Your workplace is a testament to love and equality making the possibility of true harmony and brotherhood a definite reality.
Thank you Meriti for sharing this insightful observation of an amazing women and an amazing way, I love your comment – Sally has set a very professional standard at our service, one based on her ability to be aware of how we are being with each other in the office and not purely focused on our outcomes.- Love it.
Mereti it is lovely to feel your level of appreciation. And I loved reading how Sally’s way of being has offered an opening to all at her workplace to allow this within themselves too. You are just as much part of that Mereti as Sally is. Love is so beautifully infectious, from Sally to you and from you to all around you
Thanks for sharing this Mereti it is inspiring to hear how one person in her livingness can create such a supportive environment for everybody around them.
That is pure joy to read. The appreciation of what you have experienced to really work and create a supportive and enjoyable working environment and therefore know with certainty is confirmation of the truth lived. And it reflects as well that you know the truth in yourself and not only in Sally and have made the choice to re-activate it for yourself.
I love this blog and how you describe Sally, I particularly like this line; ‘calmness amongst chaos, balance against unbalanced’, this is a true description of many of the Universal Medicine students, it feels incredible to be around.
Mereti thank you for sharing your loving appreciation of Sally. It’s a testament to Sally’s commitment to her own healing and love for herself that she then offers everyone she works with. Very Inspiring!
Your work place sounds like a far cry from the offices I have worked in. A care and interest in the relationship with colleagues not just the end target is extremely uncommon and to feel cared for in your environment by someone with honesty and integrity is beautiful to hear. Mereti, do you know of any vacancies coming up, I’d like to apply!
What you are describing Mereti is my dream workplace! It just goes to show the enormous impact one person can have when they reflect the commitment they have made to live their life from a foundation of love, respect, harmony and self responsibility.
Wow, what an incredible testimony to the power and beauty of what Sally brings and to the inspiration she has received from Universal Medicine that supported her in expressing that. Gorgeous.
I love your testimonial Mereti as with this you show us your appreciation to the qualities Sally brings to the workplace and that in a way these qualities are the fundamental basics for decent human relationships we all want to have but rarely find in our nowadays working places.
Thank you for sharing Mereti, it’s beautiful to hear how you appreciate the qualities that Sally brings to your workplace, and how that makes you love going to work!
What a gorgeous testimony to the power of love in the workplace. Thank you Mereti.
Mereti you are a gem. Whilst Sally may be bringing the above qualities, which anyone would be blessed to have in their workplace, you are obviously very special yourself. The fact that you can openly display your affection for Sally and what she brings, means that you are large part of the reason why your workplace is so lovely.
Well said Tony, I completely agree.
Beautifully said tonysteenson and I absolutely agree.
What a amazing testimony Mereti. I can only agree that this way of being that Sally is showing is well worth observing and studying for it goes against the trend of workplaces world wide. I am not surprised to read what you say as Universal Medicine itself displays unparalleled harmony, equality and understanding in the way it runs.
Awesome Mereti. Sounds like an amazing place to work and an awesome support to have Sally in the workplace. I find many people who are students of universal medicine are on the same wave length and are great to be around.
It was lovely to read your blog Mereti. It is so refreshing when most people’s experience of the work place is stress and tension to hear about a different way to do things. I so appreciate having this confirmed as self doubt can often distract me even though I can feel deep down that life doesn’t have to be lived in a way of constant drivenness.
Mereti, this is such a beautiful testimonial, not just about Sally but about all who choose to live in this loving way, including yourself!
Thank You!
Thank you Mereti for the beautiful confirmation of the depth of service and harmony one can offer, not just in the workplace but where ever we bring our light to when we live our life with ‘The Way of The Livingness’.
Wow, thank you Mereti, that is such an awesome sharing about the depth and love that has been introduced into your workplace through Sally. I can only add to this that my workplace has very much changed due to the care and love I bring today in everything I do thanks to the teachings of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
Thank you Sally and Danielle. This is exactly how energy works, no trying, just a livingness that is reflected and felt by others. This is what is bringing positive changes to people all around the world.
Absolutely I agree Greg, and I think this is what many people in health care could potentially react to or get put off about – having to look at and consider the possibility that no matter how hard they try, no matter how much knowledge they have and now matter how amazing a health practitioner they are, if they are not living a self-caring, healthy, vital and truly self-honouring life then the quality of what they can bring to each client and the support they can truly offer is not all that it can be. This is an uncomfortable pill to swallow for many, and it’s easier to attack the people who are reflecting this fact, then face up to the possibility that for 10, 20, 30 or even 40 years there is a key ingredient that has been missing.
Mereti, this is so sweet. I was just asked to quit my job after an attempt to offer free self-care sessions before and after our team’s shifts. The company wasn’t open for love. You and your team are. Great for the world to see.
A great document to share with companies, management teams and managers. Your description of Sally is an example of how a job description should look like.
Mereti thank you for taking the time and care to express your experience of Sally. The positive ripple affect is a confirmation of living what is presented at Universal Medicine. Sally is defiantly walking the talk to have inspired you to comment so openly your experience. Sally is definitely about people first and the business will automatically be taken care of by its people.
Thankyou Mereti for sharing how wonderful it is for all when a workplace actually works together and to show that it can in fact be done. This is inspiring for us all.
Wow Mereti, this is true appreciation!! Thank you for your testimony!! It makes me ask: how many testimonials like yours could be written regarding what people associated with Universal Medicine bring to the work place daily and consistently so!
A gorgeous testament to ‘Sally’ and her commitment in life to taking responsibility and looking after herself, through this she supports others in her life and also of course the consistent support that Universal Medicine offers to society.
Great to share that connection to oneself in the workplace can make such a difference – that work can be a place of being as well as doing – love lee
Thank you Mereti for sharing, through reading your blog I can truly feel what Sally brings and the ripple effect it has on the entire workplace.
A wonderful example of the impact a person can have on those around them if they are connected to themselves and working with energetic integrity and responsibility. Sally provides a beautiful reflection for those around her, and its wonderful that you can feel this.
Thank you Mereti for sharing your experience in the workplace. I feel you too must be an amazing team member because you could not recognise and appreciate such qualities in another if you did not have them in yourself. I am sure Sally feels equally supported to be working with you.
Thank you Mereti for expressing your appreciation and inspiration of the way that Sally has brought the teachings of Universal Medicine into your workplace. You make it very clear that when everyone works together as a team supporting each other then all the energy is available for supporting those you work for.
Amazing work Sally. This is rare in today’s workplaces and no doubt you have deeply inspired all your colleagues.
How lovely to read of your experiences Mereti, that Sally’s connection with Universal medicine has had such a beautiful and powerful impact on your workplace and you. To me this reveals that by truly connecting back to ourselves and living from this space we have the opportunity to bring true integrity and inspiration to wherever we are and whatever we do. Thank you for sharing this beautiful confirming story.
Thanks Mereti, it is lovely to read your account of a Universal Medicine student in the workplace, in particular in a leadership role. Not only do you appreciate where you work and what Sally has contributed you describe a working environment that feels like their is true support, team work and fairness. Credit to Sally and your whole team.
