Since attending my first Universal Medicine retreat in the UK in May I have been inspired to go for a daily walk first thing in the morning, whatever the weather. It is a time I enjoy to be with myself, in the fresh morning air, feeling the opportunities a new day brings… to start afresh.
I enjoy walking ‘with my heart’, feeling how my body is. I enjoy the journey of coming back to the true me, and taking the time to reconnect to my heart. It’s just one of a few healthy changes I have made, including eating more healthy foods, and going to bed earlier, which I have done gradually and from the feeling that my body appreciates those changes. It feels more self-loving, whereas before I would often disregard how I was feeling. Now I am learning to tune into those feelings more, as it feels right.
I have been attending the amazing healing courses and presentations at Universal Medicine for the three years since 2009. Since then, I have slowly discovered that I have within me everything I need to live harmoniously. It is just a simple matter of reconnecting to the love within. It was often easier said than done, only because initially I resisted this simple truth and didn’t want to face myself, warts and all!
In my earlier years I worked as a professional dancer, and also taught ballet/jazz dance/aerobics to children and adults. I lived in many different countries – Europe, USA, South America, the Middle East and Far East, travelling with work, and later on with my husband’s work. I never felt that I truly belonged anywhere. The dance work was very hard on my body, and it was easy to get injuries. I craved recognition and acceptance – that really was the nature of the work. It was about glamour, and how you looked on the outside. Now I know that the answers are not found on the outside, but only by connecting to myself from within.
We returned to the UK in 1995 so we could put down some roots for us, a family of four. I decided to retrain and practise aromatherapy massage. I worked in a complementary health clinic in Ascot, later in Richmond and central London. I also attended many complementary health courses – always searching for that elusive better health for myself and my clients. My health wasn’t that great, and usually with some symptom or another presenting itself I never felt truly well. I constantly looked outside of myself for answers to my confidence issues and often suffered with anxiousness, stomach problems and cystitis. I was really searching for the answer to my health issues, but trying to help others at the same time. I knew I had to get myself right before really being able to help others, but nothing gave me the full picture.
Through a good friend I eventually found myself at my first Universal Medicine course, Heart Chakra 1. At that first presentation I felt very welcome and very inspired by Serge Benhayon and the teachings. I learnt a simple breathing meditation called the ‘Gentle Breath’, which really helped me to reconnect to myself. I was introduced to many other tools to help me live harmoniously; one being the lovely eye pillows for self healing. I continued to attend more healing courses and presentations, and after each one could feel in my body how different I felt. It was an amazing feeling, one I had never felt before in the same way. It is great also to have some practical inspiration for living a healthy life with exercise, diet, sleep etc. (simple things that anyone can do.) It’s not rocket science nor a set of “do’s and don’ts” – they just make total sense. Of course I can often feel the resistance in me to this level of self-love, but it is a work in progress, and one I intend to follow, as I haven’t felt this level of vitality, or of being so centred, before.
I am very thankful to Serge Benhayon and his team for all the love and support they have given and continue to give.
Here are a few things I have learnt along the way that I am working with:
- Don’t beat myself up, focus on the positive.
- Feel, don’t think, that way I honour myself. Let myself feel what is in my body and not override it. Trust it.
- Don’t give my power away, there is a choice… but at the same time, don’t hold back.
- Be present (conscious presence); check back in with myself by closing my eyes.
- Just Be.
- Be gentle, walk gently.
- It’s not what I do, but the way I am (energetic quality).
- Don’t compare myself with others, breathe my own breath.
- Give myself more time, don’t rush, and build a momentum of gentleness.
- Don’t try and impose my views on others!
- Self expression is everything.
- Time for me… to reconnect to my inner heart (the love within).

The Truth about Universal Medicine 
‘ … the answers are not found on the outside but connecting to myself from within.’ So true Sue. Only by connecting to this love within can we truly heal.
No such thing as coincidence that “a good friend” always turns up at just the right moment offering us a choice to change our pathway in life to then find ourselves at the doorway of Universal Medicine. Saying yes to that invitation is a life changer on a grand scale and, as you so openly share Sue it is “just a simple matter of reconnecting to the love within”, a major pivotal point in anyone’s life.
We can express in so many ways, we are expressing in the way we iron your clothes, the way we write, the way we keep our desks at work – our expression is a lot more than just words.
One of the most damaging things we can do to ourselves is to beat ourselves up if we make a mistake…and yet life is not perfect and we will make mistakes so why be hard on yourself? Mistakes are going to happen but if we can use these as opportunities for learning and will do our utmost to not repeat them, then they are not really mistakes are they?
Everything we need for this life journey we have right inside – and we access our innermost through our hearts.
Thank you Sue, what I felt inspired by reading today were your words about walking with your heart to bring you back to you. Each morning I have a self care and self nurturing routine I go through, including massaging my body, and I find this time essential to bringing me back to me. Until we can learn to live the love we are all day long, we need these activities and spaces to reconnect back to ourselves, and to nurture our love to expand.
Thank you Sue, the 12 simple points you give at the end of your blog are so profound and to me, a doorway to heaven ready there for us to choose from if we are ready to take this path.
Your list of things that you “have learnt along the way” is a great prescription for a healthy life.
Thank you Sue, I agree Serge presents good common sense, the most basic of which is to connect to the body, listen to it, feel your way and honour what it shares. That in itself can be life changing for health and wellbeing – and it certainly has been for me. Some of my other favourite basics from Serge are to ‘be you’ and to ‘be love’ and the support that the Gentle Breath Meditation has given me to reconnect to the true essence of me (including the love) within.
‘It’s not rocket science nor a set of “do’s and don’ts” – they just make total sense.’ As simple as feeling what is good or not for us. No lists, just the clarity of knowing by ourselves what supports us when we give space for it to be revealed by our own body
Sure Amparo, the answer is in our bodies. We only have to connect to it and from then on the body will lead the way, the true way compared to the way our mind wants us to take, a way that only brings us further away from the truth that is simply waiting in our inner hearts
‘Don’t beat myself up, focus on the positive’ this is so important, the more we focus on the positive the more we learn from our mistakes, rather than beating ourselves up over them.
One of the greatest downfalls of humanity is that we learn to live in disconnection to our bodies, which is no coincidence. For when we begin to develop a relationship with our bodies, we begin to develop a relationship with truth and love through which we can begin to live the power of who we are in essence, guided by our innate knowing from within, the light of our Soul.
Life is really practical and simple. As you say, it is no rocket science, but it needs us in it, being committed to the part we play. It is when we refuse to take that responsibility it starts to become complicated.
I can still fall into the trap of doing, but it is not long before my body lets me know that I cannot sustain this way of being. My mind can think it is in the driving seat listening to others because of the pictures I have in my head, but the more I see what is being played out and my part in it, the less I am giving it power. It is work in progress but ultimately it is my willingness to see when and what takes me out from the connection to myself, and to build on this with consistency and immediacy.
‘Don’t beat myself up, focus on the positive.’ – It’s amazing how we can totally shift our perspective of ourselves and life by moving in a way that is actually honouring of who we are. It’s difficult to think our way out of a thought trail – but moving our way out can have pretty instant results, thus is the power of walking.
Walking with your heart – what a fabulous start to the day!
I absolutely love the list of simple tips at the end Sue – so simple, and yet so incredibly practical and easy to take on board. Thank you so much for presenting it like this, and giving me a reminder of what to come back to as a foundation when things feels rocky!
“I knew I had to get myself right before really being able to help others, but nothing gave me the full picture.” – this is a really wise comment…So often we seek to help others without first being in a position to actually offer true help to another because we have not been caring for ourselves enough and hence we have not build a foundation to support ourselves, let alone another. Of course it is not about perfection, but very much the intent.
“I have slowly discovered that I have within me everything I need to live harmoniously. It is just a simple matter of reconnecting to the love within.” – Beautifully said Sue, though of course, as you have said, this is easier said than done. We allow so much to distract us and keep us searching on the outside, and yet, all we need is on the inside. How often do we stop to feel this?
Interesting what you share about the resistance to the self-love Sue. It’s a curious one though, because being loving with ourselves is surely a very natural thing to choose and do. This resistance reveals that there is in fact something quite unnatural in the way we live at present, if self-love is a struggle.
Its inspiring to hear you speak of the freshness and newness of a morning walk. Incredible how something so simple can change your entire life.
‘It’s not what I do, but the way I am (energetic quality).’ Spot on Sue, too often we get caught in the ‘doing’ and ‘busyness’ of life and forget about the importance of bringing quality in everything we do.
What is so very profound in this article is that it is about the way we live and not what we do as we live. As those who choose this responsibility carry it for all others to see, feel and one day choose for themselves.
Beautiful tips Sue for those who are choosing to walk back to love. It’s laying a new foundation with rewards that are heavenly.
It’s quite surprising how taking basic care of ourselves can have such a huge effect on our health and well being and how we feel about ourselves and others. Not rocket science as you say Sue, but a practical wisdom we so often avoid when we’re so busy concentrating on trying to make true the pictures of how we think life should be.
One area for me to choose to deepen my conscious presence is not choosing multi tasking. This is an insidious activity, one that I’m realising comes with the hallmarks of addiction. If these seem like strong words they are because of the extent this systemic virus can take hold of ones mind and potentially lead to dementia.
Love what you have shared Sue thank you, so simple and so true the steps you outlined of coming back to feel the love you are are , just plain common sense, but oh so powerful to change our lives into living and being the love that we are.
You have covered it beautifully Sue – even if we were to take on board one thing from your list our lives would transform. Imagine if we mastered all of them, what our lives could be together?
Amazing blog Sue, it is one of those that you keep coming back too. It confirms how close we are all the time to just ‘tune in’ to our bodies at any given moment and connect to something so magical. Our bodies act like a barometer of truth – how we truly live life. How the simplicity of going for a walk is often the antidote to ease our bodies back into its gentle rhythm once more. As you share your appreciation Sue, Serge Benhayon/Universal Medicine has presented in abundance how to “reconnect to the love within” and your list is spot on with how we can all be inspired from this awesome example. Thank you.
It is difficult to realise the level of abuse we can inflict upon our bodies doing so many of the seemingly ‘normal’ activities in life, sport, dancing, extreme exercise… until we stop and feel our bodies… or until our bodies make us stop. Once we reset a marker of gentleness it becomes very apparent what is hurting us, and what makes us truly become alive.
Sue it is a big shift from doing things for how they look on the outside compared to doing things according to how you feel on the inside. When I made this change, my life changed. It has become less about pleasing people and keeping up with the Jones’ and more about honouring myself. I am finding that this is a wonderful way to live.
The most marvelous thing that comes from loving ones self and nurturing ones body, is the warmth that rises from within, that cannot, but be shared with another.
So true Leigh, it becomes so expansive it can’t help but be shared from its emanation.
I love the title of your blog Sue an what unfolds from there, it holds so much love and care for yourself and everybody else.
Your little list of things you have taken from your experience with Universal Medicine was very endearing. I also really enjoyed hearing about your morning walk, so much so that I am planning one myself in the morning. I cant wait to feel that crisp air like you described.
Thanks Sue, we have all learned so much from Universal Medicine presentations, the most powerful being that all we need is within and coming from our own body and inner heart.
Don’t beat yourself up, don’t compare yourself to others, express your truth and look after yourself – this all sounds like perfect common sense and great life advice to me. The principles that we choose to live our life by defines our whole life.
It’s not what I do, but the way I am (energetic quality). Very true, for the way I am with myself is the way I will be with every-one; the more loving and caring I am with myself, this is the way I will be with others.
The eye pillows I use every night and place a few on my body, where I feel to. And many times during the day when I feel I need to lie down for a bit, I place one over my eyes which supports my whole body to relax and rest. They are a great support for the body.
‘Don’t beat myself up, focus on the positive.’
I’m learning to notice when I am about to beat myself up or even when it’s happening at a level I’ve not noticed previously. I can’t afford to beat myself up because it directly harms my body. Now I can feel beating myself up is as bad a beating up someone else (in my mind). The energy is very harmful and no reason to compound it by giving myself a hard time for giving myself a hard time etc. Now I know to re-connect to love even when I feel I have made a terrible mistake and feel bad. It’s wonderful to feel I’m alright, I may have made a mistake but being honest means I can learn from them. I always have my essence I can return to which is beautiful.
Thanks Karin, this is very true, how we beat up on ourselves even in our own mind would not be what we would feel was ok for others. Humanity has veered so far away from our natural gentle way that we are now so hard and rough with ourselves and often with others.
The points learned are really supporting us to live our lives in a harmonious way knowing ourselves and others we can connect to.
I agree Sue, The Way of The Livingness as lived and presented by Serge Benhayon does make absolute sense simply due to the fact that it is our natural way of being, that is, living in connection to who we are, our Soul to the best of our ability. It is only our resistance to living in this connection that we experience the struggle, the tension and the unease in our bodies. The more we are willing to be honest about what we are truly feeling the more we can embrace the opportunity to deepen our connection and live all that we in-truth are.
It is interesting to hear about people’s different life experiences and how they came to meet Serge Benhayon. It feels like so many in life are not content, are looking for something more – it doesn’t matter what the life looks like whether it is super wealthy and successful or a life that is full of struggle – underneath all of this we know there is more to be lived and enjoyed.
Things can be so simple when you break them down like this and it’s great to have a written record to reflect on. The walking part I have always found refreshing and supportive. Whether it be in the morning by yourself or with the dog or between jobs or to the bus it doesn’t matter there is always time to feel yourself in a walk. I use this often and constantly check in even with the way I am standing. I found that a lot of the time I stand or lean more on one leg then the other. It’s no big deal but after doing this nearly every day after a year or two it could cause problems and what’s more it actually hurts. i found from walking and getting a consistent sense of how I feel has then translated to how I move. Now I don’t lean in as much and walk close or move more so I can support myself more equally when I’m standing. It seems simple and yet so so supportive for me and I know it’s the same for my body.
What you have expressed in this blog Sue is very beautiful to read; the list of some of the things you have learnt from Serge Benhayon is inspiring. I love how you have made the commitment to walk with your heart, each and every day.
‘Feel, don’t think, that way I honour myself. Let myself feel what is in my body and not override it. Trust it.’
The mind can be polluted by thoughts that are not true depending on how we are living. For me, when I eat sugar, my thoughts turn to mush and at times I can’t even make sense of it. So it makes sense to allow the body to be our mind and marker for making decisions.
It’s beautiful to feel the simplicity of the choices that can be made that bring such great change to our health and wellbeing.
“Feel, don’t think, that way I honour myself. Let myself feel what is in my body and not override it. Trust it.” Thank you for the reminder. How does it work when you don’t want to feel what’s in your body? I make it about movement. I move in a way I know will support me – usually gentle and supports me to be present with myself. Exercise is a great confirmation of this. There comes a point however that there can be two different types of movement – one that stimulates you or one that confirms you in your connection. The only way to know the difference is to simply keep moving that keeps you feeling all your body.
Sue what you have shared is wonderful and inspirational. I love your list at the end as it showed it very clear that it is not complicate or hard to make self loving changes in our lives – yeah.
So timely to be reading this on the first day of the New Year and a year whose numbers add up to one too. No need to look for New Year’s resolutions,you have outlined here, an awesome recipe.
Right now the breathing of my own breath is priority number one for me.
I love your list of things you’ve learnt from attending Universal Medicine Sue. There are countless stories like yours where people have made some amazing, life changing loving choices that are deeply inspirational. Everything you’ve shared makes sense and I too know them well but sometime a gentle reminder is always great and hugely appreciated.
I love the simplicity here Sue ‘It’s not rocket science nor a set of “do’s and don’ts” – they just make total sense.’ I agree practical and self- care principles that support us to connect to our bodies that truly work.
What you present here are timeless lessons for us all. 4 years later and I still work on all those things, just a deeper level of understanding for each.
Lovely to feel Sue, the simple supportive living ways can change a life around completely. Everything matters and has a ripple effect on everything in and around us.
The Gentle Breath Meditation is surely a revelation for anyone who experiences it, the quality of connection to self in such a short time dispels the myths of meditating for hours to achieve some sort of nirvana. It is without doubt a practice that supports anyone to connect to who they are.
Being reminded that I have everything I need within me is greatly confirming. As the challenges present themselves, it is only myself that prevents me from letting them go and going deeper. I have a choice, it is My choice, to create that which is not true or to be and live from my essence.
Hi Sue,
Reading your blog is very healing in itself. The very practical observations you have felt for yourself bring the reader to their own body. Where all true healing takes place, and honesty and truth are simply felt and acknowledged as the absolute support to our own re connection to our soul that they are.
I get what you mean about walking. I’m not a natural gotta-get-out-there walker but I’ve recently started to walk home from work – around 50 minutes and in good weather, it’s a true tonic, giving me space to drop thoughts of work out of my mind and focus back on me, my body and how I’m feeling in it as I’m walking. It’s not the exercise per se that has me repeating the walk. It’s the space to reconnect and be fully with me. Next up is working out how to keep that connection while I’m in the office…
How lovely to start afresh each morning and maybe even in each moment – like the sea washing over the sand after a day of activity and returning it to its natural state. If we allow it – if we choose it – reconnecting to the love that we are can offer us that fresh start too, in any moment.
“It’s not what I do, but the way I am (energetic quality)” – this line did stood out for by reading this blog. So simple and so true. When I live in this truth, make it my everyday awareness – life is very very different. Joy arises. Love is present. I claim back space.
Thank you Sue for a great read, I loved all the pointers you gave for true health. They are simple ones to follow but some I can overlook and brush aside, like consistently taking myself for a loving walk. It is a beautiful day outside today, I will take the time to simply enjoy me.
This is truly beautiful to read Sue. A breath of the freshest, purest air has come into your life, and you are embracing it and all that it offers you by way of a deepening and cherished relationship with yourself, in full.
Would love to hear an ‘update’ – a few years down the track now…!
Great to hear and feel Sue, how you’ve set such a consistent daily rhythm for yourself and the very obvious benefits you get from it – what shines through is you’ve developed and deepened your relationship with you and your body.
This is a beautiful blog to read again. I am inspired Sue to take gentle walks every day. I have made a mental note to do this but I always seem to find excuses to not take this time for myself, to appreciate myself, my day and my surroundings. Walking is very supportive in so many ways, so I am going to start back into this a part of my self-love program.
When I read that you are committed to a daily walk, rain or shine, I must admit it brought up some stuff for me, this stuff is due to the fact I have not yet put this into my day consistently but I aspire do so and I am grateful that you are writing about your commitment as this is a great refection for me.
Thank you Sue, your opening paragraph is great reminder for me about how important walks are for us, especially when we walk for us, to be with ourselves, to feel the body and to walk from the heart. This is so much more powerful than walking to be fit or to lose weight.
No rocket science here, and no degree needed…just an openness and a willingness to connect to the body and re-learn to be gentle, tender, delicate with ourselves again. What an awesome reminder!
Very beautiful to feel your tenderness here, Sue. Time for me… exactly what I need!
I too am so appreciative of the presentations by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine and the support to make that return to the love that I innately am and can relate to the list of things that you’ve learnt along the way Sue and knowing that there’s no end point but an ever ongoing deepening.
The things you have learnt along the way are great Sue. Especially the not beating yourself up and feeling what you need rather then thinking it. “I was really searching for the answer to my health issues, but trying to help others at the same time.” this sounds like a huge majority of the world. We often try to do things for others yet are not coping ourselves.
Thanks Emily. I’m learning that the relationship with yourself is most important. By developing that strong foundation with oneself, then you are more able to help others too by reflection.
I find if I ignore my body’s call to go for a walk, there are already so many things there to take up that time I could have been acting on it… and am then left tired and agitated. Listening to what our body is asking for keeps life simple and free of ups and downs.
It does all make sense Sue, some time after being a baby and young person we make a choice by what we see around us, to perform, move and speak in a way that goes against what our body would naturally choose. Then most things we do is from a place of wanting love, even if it is conditional, and acceptance and recognition. I’ve found we are then in the thick of the illusion of that is what living is like and need the support of very practical tools to get back to what we always have been.
I agree Aimee, if I find myself wavering from myself, then it’s great to have a practical ‘toolbox’ of support for our body, like going for a walk. It’s making a simple self loving choice that makes all the difference to how the rest of the day goes, and gets me back on track. It’s also more than just going for a walk, but the quality in which I take myself for a walk. Lately I’ve been focusing on how my legs feel as I walk, and how my feet are hitting the ground, so the way we walk is important too.
There is many great things that you called out as ways of living, not to be rules. but things to be aware of, the one that stood out for me (they were all good by the way) was “Feel, don’t think, that way I honour myself. Let myself feel what is in my body and not override it. Trust it.” This has been a big one for me, to feel, not think, actually I think a big one for all of us. To not override what is initially felt. This is one that I am constantly building more and more awareness of and ‘actioning’, which is the key!
Going for a walk with ourselves for ourselves is so simple yet can be so supportive for our vitality and well-being. Being with ourselves, not having to do anything brings the greatest healing to the tensions we feel in life.
Walking with your heart to reconnect to the love within, love it Sue.
Imagine that there is a true way of living, a way that doesn’t impose on others and a way where we can live our true selves…not being good as such but real, without perfection, being present and very loving towards ourselves and then others. Well, having studied with Universal Medicine, I have discovered that this way of life is true and real. I do not have to imagine it as I have seen it and felt it and everyday I understand and appreciate it more.
What if we just absolutely embraced life and that there could be a totally different way to live and gave it everything? It could be amazing… 🙂
Hi Sue, thank you for sharing. You are so correct “It’s not rocket science nor a set of “do’s and don’ts” – they just make total sense.” . . . it is more a relationship that we have with our body, with the very way we move, with our rhythms, with the way we eat and what we eat and how we put our self to sleep at night. As you say it is all to do with the connection we have with our self.
You are so right Sue – every day is a new day and it has the opportunity to start afresh and to choose to be joyfully you.
The esoteric way has only ever been presented as a way of living life that is actually very personal and unique to every person. It is never instructive, despite what the lies the media have presented. What you choose to eat etc is totally up to you. Of course it is. The reason a lot of dietary choices within the esoteric community end up in time becoming very similar is because people invariably discover for themselves what works and does not work, and the fact that it pretty ends up being similar proves the fact that we are more connected and alike than we sometimes like to pretend.
Thankyou Sue for sharing your experiences of Universal Medicine. I have also felt the same steady positive change’s in my life by being honest about where I am at, and lovingly making new choices that support my wellbeing. It is simple, and as you say it’s not a list of “do’s and dont’s”, it’s listening to ones own body and what works.
A truly beautiful list of things to be paying attention to…. And a gorgeous way to walk through life with these as your guide.
There is so many things that take us away from who we truly are that it is very useful to have a toolkit such as yours that provides us with simple ways to bring ourselves back and re-connect with our innate wisdom.
Reading this today I had moment of wow! yes another one:) In your words “I would often disregard how I was feeling”. “Now I am learning to tune into those feelings more” Isn’t it amazing when once we start to build up an awareness and get that yummy feeling of the depth of love that we are naturally so, and start to live this in our daily livingness (I’m still very much a work in progress) once that ‘awareness’ starts to become more apparent and increase we are given a choice to then form new patterns (re-imprinting) instead of disregarding those feelings which surface I start to implement even more self-loving ways to maintain that innermost love that just feels so expansive as that connection gets stronger and deeper. Another joyful start to my day by reading your sharing with us Sue. Thank you.
I would not have known what was meant by the “love within” before coming to the work of Serge Benhayon! This makes all the difference to my life in general as does the knowledge that there isn’t anything we do not know if we look within. Thank you for a great sharing Sue.
Thanks Roslyn Mahoney, I was the same as you and wouldn’t have had a clue what the “love within ” meant before coming across Universal Medicine. As you say it has made all the difference in my life too. Im discovering that there is no end to this love from within, and we can deepen our connection to it more and more ,if we so choose.
Walking every day is so supportive. I also find the quality of connection with myself when I walk makes a huge difference to how I feel for the rest of my day.
I agree Marion, Trust is so important to allow healing to take place. When we don’t trust others it is often a reflection that we also don’t trust ourselves. So, by developing trust with ourselves we are then able to naturally trust others by trusting the feelings in our own body.
To regularly touch base with this blog is a joy – and just as you share Sue some “simple things that anyone can do” at any time to re-connect to the love within.
I love it Cathy – you’ve explained it super well – it’s what we do with the “back to basics”, that ultimately changes the quality of our day.
Absolutely – it’s often the simple practical details of life where we dramatically fall short, it’s so awesome to have someone presenting with simple common sense when it comes to the practicalities of life.
Reading another little gem from your list Sue is to ‘just be’ – So simple to read, but, something that has taken me a while to realise as I liked complication it always felt easier to have busyness around – I could hide in being busy, just excuses to avoid being still, connecting and to feeling all of me. To now appreciating ‘just being’ and it’s not about the doing – a great reminder as I start my day.
Sue I find there is something amazing about going for a walk each morning too, it feels like one walking is one of the keys to true health, I always feel so much more invigorated and more ready for whatever the day has to bring after.
I love reading your list Sue the perfect recipe for true love and healing. This beautiful and simple reminder you wrote I will enjoy taking into my day ‘It’s not what I do, but the way I am (energetic quality).’
Such a timeless sharing with us Sue it will never age or go out of fashion no matter what day, week, year etc. What you offer is an insight (the tools) of how we can look after ourselves by choosing to simply tune in, connecting and being honest to how we are truly living our lives.
Also, it’s a great point that taking the time to really get to know ourselves and learning to care deeply for ourselves is always, always time well spent.
I do love your list of tools Sue and for me it’s giving myself plenty of time so as not to have to rush so I can build that momentum of gentleness. Moving gently is the way I know to bring myself back to me.
Lovely list of tools Sue, all of them great but this is apt for me “Feel, don’t think, that way I honour myself. Let myself feel what is in my body and not override it. Trust it.” I have learnt the hard way when I didn’t honour my initial impulse from my body and i’m starting to appreciate how awesome our bodies are at communicating with us.
Thank you Sue, I loved re-reading your blog and being reminded to use the tools like the Gentle Breath Meditation to re-connect to the love within.
It is a great marker for me whenever I feel a bit of resistance or that unsettled feeling that something is not quite flowing as well as it could be – that’s the time to be super gentle, and go back to basics if need be. We have all the ‘tools’ its taking back the responsibility to apply them lovingly so. Time ‘to re-connect to the love within’. (always)
I love to re-read your blog, Sue, to confirm certain things and to remind myself of other things.Timeless!
Spot on Marion. “Only because Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon came into my life and presented something that resonated so deeply within that I knew felt like ‘truth’ and by making those changes, my life is now so amazingly different.” Serge Benhayon is a constant and consistent inspiration for how everyone of us in the world can live in true brotherhood with each other and this starts with living with self-love and in harmony with ourselves.
To have the discipline to re-connect is an art in itself.
However a discipline well worth investing time and effort into.
Yes I agree Luke, it is definitely worth it. By deepening our re-connection to ourselves everything else just simply flows, our relationships with people become richer and more joyful.
Like everything in our lives if we don’t choose it we won’t have it. More and more I am learning everything is a choice, even turning on the TV.
This is a simple yet profound revelation..” I have slowly discovered that I have within me everything I need to live harmoniously.” when we deeply accept this is our hearts what freedom this gives us to return to who we truly are!
It is lovely to re connect to your sharing Sue, the points you make are well worth reading again to refresh our commitment to our bodies. Thank you.
As you share Sue ‘it isn’t rocket science’ that if we self nurture and take self loving care of ourselves the results will speak for themselves.
An absolutely amazing sharing that comes with so much more power than many would possibly realise. To uncover Universal Medicine’s teachings and to be inspired to live a life that is giving you more vitality in life is truly a miracle. You are an amazing woman to be doing what you’re doing and making the changes that you’re making.
I am only one of countless others reaping the health benefits,by implementing (through my own choice) the teachings at Universal Medicine http://www.unimedliving.com has some amazing examples of before and after stories. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have come across Universal Medicine when I did 6 years ago. I’m sure my life would have gone down a completely different track health wise & in all ways if not.I agree ,to have much more vitality (in my 60’s) is truly a miracle.I continue to make changes and fine tune how I live as things are always evolving.
Thank you Natasha for your beautiful comment, a true reflection of you as well.
I like the bit about just not giving yourself a hard time, this in itself creates a lot more space and time for enjoying life, learning and loving.
I like that bit too Kristy. Once we give ourselves a hard time about our choices we actually stunt our opportunity to learn. Whereas if we are willing to take responsibility, be honest and learn from our past choices we allow ourselves to evolve.
I can relate Matthew. Over riding my body led to my body being injured and hurt by loveless choices. I love that I can now listen to my body and hear the messages it sends me. The need for coffee, sugar and alcohol are all gone and it’s thanks to the amazing and truthful presentations of Universal Medicine that made it all a natural daily part of my life to be loving.
When I walk present with myself I notice nature more around me. I see and hear more birds and come across many messages to be pondered on. Truly awesome to feel and connect to.
I’ve noticed this too Tracy. Sometimes I walk and am totally disconnected from my surroundings and end up at point B not remembering how I got there. When I am present with myself, I notice so much more detail – it’s not that these details weren’t there before, simply that I wasn’t present enough to notice!
It goes to show how much effort has had to go into setting up a world full of distractions and options to be loveless. To know we are the living sons of God who are divine yet we behave in a way that is so far wayward of this fact to me exposes how much effort has gone into creating a game full of hurts and establishing doctrines full of lies. All this to keep us separated from ourselves and others. The effort to keep us separated has worked for thousands of years, but people are beginning to wake up and to shine their light back on their fellow brothers and are inspiring a new and true way forward.
Your list is spot on and one I lovingly chip away at daily. If I bomb on one on the list my body very quickly shows me my choice wasn’t loving and I create another marker to learn and evolve from. Every knock of the shoulder or bump on the knee makes me stop, reassess how I was moving and makes me check in with my breath and my momentum. Listening to our body helps pave a loving way forward to be with oneself and others.
Sue what a great sharing of re-connecting back to love. I agree there is much power in walking everyday and feeling this expansion and deep connection in the body. I also walk nearly everyday and recently I have noticed that my walk has changed quite a bit, I used to walk quite fast and would miss the opportunity to connect at all with myself. Now I take the time to be more present when I walk and the feeling within is really beautiful because I am walking the ‘true’ me.
I too have noticed my walk recently change Anna. I no longer walk fast and have noticed a nice flow and ease to my walk, a walk that confirms who I am. I now notice more of nature and the kookaburra’s I hear and see are a lovely confirmation of this loving walk.
Yes I feel that too Anna -‘there is much power in walking’. Feeling into how I walk, how I breath while walking and gently tuning into all my bodies movements in the motion of walking has changed so much. How something so simple as walking can make a huge difference to experiencing changes in my body. relaxing, slowing down my busy thoughts, dropping my shoulders opening my upper chest etc and so many more health benefits. This all comes with an added bonus of also embracing all that nature offers.
When we truly re-connect with our bodies, we can let go and just be and this is a moment of feeling the love that is deep within us. It is truly a healing to just feel that we don’t have to try and make life work, we just have to allow ourselves to live the Love that is already there living within us.
The impact of what Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon has shared for us all is more than many of us realise considering that many who have chosen to live the work he presents have made enormous changes so huge in fact the the quality of life they are living now is like north and south compared to the quality they were living before
Sue I enjoyed reading your blog again. The amazing learning we receive from our connection to Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon opens up a whole new world of possibilities, to have a Life of connection to our innermost and free ourselves from pain . To be responsible for making changes to our lives and healing the wounds of the past by seeing everyone as equal as God does. By starting with ourselves first and the ripple effect goes out from there to find true joy, Love and Harmony for all.
Thank you Sue for a great blog sharing. Without Universal Medicine and the amazing Serge Benhayon many of us would still be buried deep in our own pain and feeling lost , not understanding just why we are here on Earth. Knowing now why we are here and connecting to the innermost Heart makes a huge difference to the way we Live now. I realise that I have much to learn still but change is happening!
Each point you mention at the end is important, but it is definitely not so easy to live all these things. If you manage to hold 5 of them during one day, you are already quite good… but we are all learning and as you have written: focus on the positive.
That’s right Eva, it definitely isn’t always easy to live all those points. Which seems crazy when you think that we are love and were created from love. Enormous effort goes into not being love yet sometimes if feel so easy to do something unloving. It exposes the lack of self love that has been happening for many lives. There are new markers being set in the world, not just to better one’s life, but to live the love that we are and to inspire others around us to connect to the love that is within them.
Yes Tracy, we invest a lot really in unloving choices. Imagine if we used all the power we invest in creation, holding on to thoughts, ideals and beliefs, dealing with problems etc. just to focus on love in it`s true essence and to live this in every minute…!
evamariafoertsch, I think if we used all that power we invested in creation and focused on love then we would be out of this plane of life and back to the one we came from. Sadly that feels like a very long time away.
“Give myself more time, don’t rush, and build a momentum of gentleness.” this one is the most difficult for me. Very often I find myself in a hurry so when I have time I do enjoy walking gently and looking around at things as I’ve never seen them.There is such a freshness in it! So I treasure those moments and build foundation from them.
Like You Sue I’m also very grateful about what I have learned through Serge Benhayon and Unimed in the last 5 years. Your blog reminded me on how important the walking is. I love walking – I could do it much more often.
Sue you share a wonderful example of how much life can be beneficially and positively impacted when there is the choice to fall in love with oneself, and in doing so love others.
Like you Sue after attending Heart Chakra 1 a few years ago now – my life has completely changed – with the introduction of ‘self loving choices’ being a part of my every day and having ‘the tools’ to work with constantly allows a freeing of the restrictions that I chose in my old way of behaving and responding to life. Also to be more gentle in the way that I respond if an old pattern of behaviour does emerge – it is how I do or do not ‘react’ to that, which makes all the difference to the final outcome of how I feel – not just effecting myself but others around me also.
Sue I really love your list of what you have learnt for the teachings of Universal Medicine. I have also found them not to be rocket science just simple common sense ways to support ourselves to live a more loving and true life.
Amazing how simple it actually is to live in a way that is loving. With attention to the little things that can often just become routine, tasks of the day turn for chore to another opportunity to feel our presence in.
Thank you Sue, I loved all the points you have made. It took me a while to accept that the truth is so simple, that all I have to do is connect to my inner heart, and learn to live from this space. Gradually I am stepping away from the doing, as my body informs me of how it is feeling when I push it. The gentle breath brings me back to my body to fell what is going on and to then I can choose to be more loving with myself.
I agree with you Jill, the gentle breath is really the bridge back to our inner heart and connecting with our body.This is a key to feeling what’s going on for us( in the inner environment ).Our bodies really appreciate it when we listen in this way and as you say ‘choose to be more loving’ with ourselves.
Universal Medicine has brought so much sense into my life and the very basis of it I have found is: choose to feel.
Feel everything and question everything in life with my feelings. And what I appreciate is that there is a constant support to question even our own willingness to feel and to what depths that choice to feel is willing to go to.
I agree Leigh, one foundation of what I’ve learnt from Universal Medicine, has been and still is, about how I am feeling in my body. The body has a wisdom of its own that doesn’t lie, and when I listen to it and trust myself, then everything falls into place. Having come from a momentum of disregarding myself, it is quite easy to fall back into old habits, but I am finding that these days I am more aware to catch myself when I do. As you mention there is always support if we feel we need it as well.
I really enjoy reading your blog Sue. Getting oneself right before being able to help others is one of the foundational principles of Universal Medicine. That way we are really able to serve ALL as we have a fully nourished, enriched and cared for person, interacting with another. What a difference it makes meeting someone who takes care of themselves. There is often a warmth and a glow felt from them and all around them.
Yes it’s so true shevonsimon your point about looking after ourselves fully before we can truly look after another. It would be great if self care/ love were taught in medical schools and other establishments for example. It would make a real difference to patient outcomes and health in general.
I was nodding my head with your sharing shevonsimon. If we are not living in a self loving/self nurturing way and there is no strong foundation/platform to work from – in my own experience in the past, I’ve found that my energy levels were very depleted and of course this too would of been felt by another. As Sue shared there are so many ways we can re-connect – ‘check in’ with ourselves to get back on track. Yes It is such a joy to connect to another person living in their fullness and very inspiring too.
Sue I really enjoyed the gentleness in the way that you wrote your blog, it so simply expressed your experience and your suggestions of ways to be with yourself were so loving and supportive. It reminded me to “just be me”, not to place pressure on myself or others to be anywhere other than where I am at and to not hold back in expressing and being me in every moment. Thank you.
“Don’t compare myself with others, breathe my own breath”. What a beautiful line Sue and what a beautiful blog. The way Universal Medicine just makes sense, is what draws me to embrace this way of living also. “It’s not rocket science nor a set of “do’s and don’ts” – they just make total sense”, Spot on Sue.
“Universal Medicine just makes sense” – Yes it does for me also kimweston2. As you say, it’s not rocket science, and Sue has presented some of the everyday routines and supports that we can use and adopt to develop a very self loving way to live each day. And Sue I loved your list of the things you have learned along the way, so practical and simple to do.
“I was introduced to many other tools to help me live harmoniously; one being the lovely eye pillows for self healing.” – Mmmm, yes Sue, the lovely Feather Light Healing Eye Pillows, gorgeous placed on any part of my body, nice and warm and cosy.
Yes Natalie I know what you mean. I use an eye pillow every night just before I go to sleep, they are like a duvet for the eyes, and I love it. I also like the new Feather Light healing body wraps, which are amazing around the shoulders or placed anywhere in need of TLC ( tender loving care).
I love my morning walks too Sue and Marion, now that I walk with more conscious presence, feeling my body moving and appreciating myself in these moments.
I loved reading your list of what you have learned Sue, and you are living what you have learned. I deeply appreciate the opportunities we have to heal and learn with Universal Medicine in ways that feel so loving and practical.
Re-reading your beautiful blog today I gave myself the time to reflect and to appreciate those little changes I have made that have shown big results in my every day living. Starting like you with my early morning walk and “feeling the opportunities a new day brings”. I inevitably have ‘slip ups’ but instead of beating myself up, give myself a moment to reflect – learn by it (realising it’s an old pattern of behaving just waiting to pounce) and move on gently. What a change from previous ways of behaving.
I too have found Universal Medicine offers practical inspiration for living a healthy life that make total sense and leads to a beautiful list of learnings like what you have shared, that when chosen and honoured for oneself, are life changing.
Thank you Sue. I love the list of all you have learnt. They’re great reminders especially: ‘Feel, don’t think, that way I honour myself. Let myself feel what is in my body and not override it. Trust it.’ As one who has always tried to think herself out of any situation, coming across Universal Medicine and the tremendous support received to let go and trust myself, my feelings and my bodies again has increased my confidence ten-fold, a confidence I was yearning for much of my life to find.
That’s beautiful shevonsimon thank you.Its great that you have increased your confidence in this way.Feeling my body, rather than thinking,has been one of the key factors that have helped me most.Only yesterday with some time to spare before the dentist ( unheard of in the past ) and feeling tired, I had a quick 10 minute nap in my car.Before I would have filled the time distracting myself with something rather than feeling I’m tired let’s have a nap.I felt so refreshed after.
The teachings of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine are very practical and never divorce the body from the mind. This is vitally important for the total well being of both the body and the mind. In so many courses information is for the mind only, even when it is about healing the body.
Thank you Sue, I have enjoyed reading about your journey and especially your list of things you are choosing to change and those that you want to bring more of into your life.
Beautiful blog Sue. I too resisted at first to make loving choices because it meant giving up a lot of things that I knew were not supportive for me, but they supplied me with comfort. I have relied on comfort for a long time to pick me up, to numb the pain, the sadness and anger I was holding inside. I also created a protective layer. It was not until I started attending the Sacred Esoteric Healing courses and seeing Esoteric Practitioners that I was able to recognise that I was in fact carrying these issues. During my sessions and courses I was able to let layers of issues go and naturally I started to make more loving choices. I started to see with more clarity without my protective armour and heavy load of issues, to take responsibility and make choices to love, connect and nurture who I am. I wasn’t told to do any of this, it just naturally happened with me becoming more aware and connecting to my body, and slowing down to connect and feel.
It’s is interesting how we can be laden with so many issues and accept that as the way we are or the way life, is as we have no real means to feel otherwise. Enter Universal Medicine who bring healing courses, workshops, retreats, presentations and esoteric healing modalities that all help us strip away what we are not, so that the true light of who we are – untouched by any issues – can shine again.
Sue thank you for your list of what you have learned and what you are working with. I love to be reminded that I am a work in progress and that living this way is such a great way to enjoy responsibility and to feel empowered.
Great blog Sue, love your list, so simple but sometimes so challenging, great reminder to feel what is true and what is not. And stay with myself in situations where the things you call out come up.
I agree Sue Goodson that I have often resisted reconnecting to that love within too because it can be a bit ugly to realise how unloving I have been with myself and others. However I too have also felt a steadiness and strength within when connecting to this place that is stronger than the ugliness and much much bigger!
Very gentle and simple story, Sue, I love reading it. And the summary at the end is brilliant , it shows the the steps everyone can make if they choose to.
Thank you Sue for sharing your blog, it is marvellous to come to such an awareness of the simple changes that are made in how we live and the miraculous results that come with these new choices.
Thanks you for sharing the things your have learnt along the way, they are all great tips. Some I know I would like to bring more focus to. It’s great to read about someone who is feeling from their heart and then acting from there such as your act to go for a walk in the mornings. It’s very inspiring.
Gorgeously expressed Sue how you found not only did what Serge Benhayon just make sense that it was – how you FELT.
This is the most powerful thing when attending a presentation or course or session with Universal Medicine is what it feels like. Having tried all sorts of things myself it was how I felt when I attended Universal Medicine events that nothing else I had tried stacked up to- so even though like you Sue I have had my resistances to self-love it is
how I FELT that explains why I 100% support Universal Medicine.
Absolutely Deanne,how we feel in our body is the only way to truly know what is right for us or not.It is only since attending Universal Medicine presentations have I learnt to trust and develop this way to feel and be with my body.Nothing prior to this ever taught me this way to be.
That’s right Deanne, it feels absolutely amazing. Every time I attend a presentation or a course. I feel, lighter, more clarity, love, truth, stillness and joy. I take this feeling home and I know I can be this way all of the time but it is my choices that allows me to stay connected to this amazingness or not. Staying consistent in being connected is what I am working on.
Thanks Sue, your story makes it very clear that anyone can choose to change their life by making time to be with themselves and feel what their body is saying.
How super powerful is it Sue, what you happen to be learning along the way. Every single thing on your list there is so significant and can change anyone’s life.
Thanks Jen, it’s with heartfelt thanks to Serge Benhayon and the presentations of the Ageless Wisdom .I wrote a list one day to help me remember some key points I was learning. Working on these things (which were new to me) has been incredibly supportive and has helped me to change my life.
Sue, your article is exactly describing the journey I am on for some years now as well and the main motto is Feel, don’t think. To feel the truth in the body is deliberating and in the end brings joy if we listen to what it tells us.
Absolutely Kerstinsalszer15, by putting my body first rather than my head, it is liberating and breaking a long held momentum.It is still a daily choice to feel and listen rather than disregard everything my body is telling me. You are right it brings joy in the end when we listen, also life just seems to flow much more easily.
Sue seeing the changes in yourself over the years is testament itself to the true benefit of connecting to the love within. The simple way in which you describe that you were not healthy when practicing aromatherapy massage raises an interesting topic. How many people that we go to, to sort ourselves out are sick themselves?
That’s lovely thank you David. I agree with you that many of the people we might go to for help,actually need to sort themselves first, before helping others. I know this because it was true for me too.It brings up the question of how responsible we are being and also how much integrity we have towards Self and others.I was searching for solutions through new age therapies.Its only since coming across Universal Medicine have I found the true way to be, which not only has helped me,but others who I come in contact with too.
Hi Sue, I too, love the checklist. It feels like the perfect accompaniment for our earth journey. You describe a wonderful process on unfolding into a gentler way of being with ourselves that is such a true blessing. With thanks.
I love your checklist. We should all be handed one of those from the moment we can talk, although when we learn to talk, we already have this covered. It should be something that we check in with throughout our entire lives. Wouldn’t that be great?!
This is a stilling, and a very easy to read blog that holds within it many keys to unlock reconnecting to our bodies and beginning to walk the pathway of healing and living lovingly. So very supporting for every one, as it is a great reminder to connect to our loving presence within, before we begin to go about living our day.
Your list of to do’s is the best “calendar motto” to the world! I have registered people love calendar mottos. And the sad thing is – these mottos usually don’t have the depth and power your sharing has. We should send your list to those companies producing the calendars. That’s what we truly have to bring to us and others 🙂
‘Feel, don’t think, that way I honour myself. Let myself feel what is in my body and not override it. Trust it’. I really liked this point.
Thank you for sharing your experience of reconnecting to yourself Sue. The tools that you use are simple and effective ways to establish a connection with self first and then being able to take yourself to the world.
A lovely return to this beautiful blog – this morning I felt gentle nudges of how I have been in the past and how so simple and quick it can be to slip right back in with those familiar patterns of comfort. Particularly the one of wanting to help others before really gently being with myself first.
Yes I agree Marion, it’s easy to fall back into the old ways of helping others before ourselves. I do that too, but less these days. I agree that by being really gentle with myself first, it really makes all the difference in how I am with others too.
I love the list you have created Sue, of 12 super powerful tips that not many people never ever get the opportunity to understand. This is what I have appreciated most about the work of Universal Medicine, they are sharing wisdom that we all deep down actually know and crave to re-connect to but nobody else is saying it or sharing it – which I feel is the great responsibility to live it and share it with others also.
It is very simple really for us to live it and share it – now that is very possible for us all and yes it also brings a level of responsibility but that is not a bad thing by any means.
Absolutely Sally, it’s far from a chore or a burden, but it’s the only way it can be when we feel how simple and all encompassing life is when living from who we truly are.
I agree Danielle. I am appreciating more deeply the work of Universal Medicine and the real gems of wisdom that feel true to me. I also feel it’s a responsibility to share with others. I am learning to share not in an imposing way, but in the way I live myself.
That’s beautiful Sue, I’ve found that being myself and not trying is SO powerful!
I agree Danielle. I am appreciating more deeply the work of Universal Medicine and the real gems of wisdom that feel true to me. I also feel it’s a responsibility to share with others, not in an imposing way, but in the way we live ourselves
It does make total sense Sue and and the results speak for themselves. It says a lot for a loving and gentle way of being. The thing that is super lovely about this is that we can continue to be this way with ourselves regardless of what’s going on and what resistances are coming up for us.
Thanks Jennifer. Yes it really helps to build a solid foundation in the way we live, so we can continue to be super loving and gentle with ourselves, no matter what comes up for us to deal with. It’s a great support in living life.
Sue I too am thankful for the presentations of Serge Benhayon via Universal Medicine. I was a total mess when I first met him, though at the time I thought I was physically okay, just missing something inside me. Once I was honest enough to see that actually inside I was awesome, but my way of living was sabotaging the love that was naturally there, everything was able to unravel … your blog has reminded me of the joy of the morning walk and the precious opportunity it offers to connect to myself and feel what the fresh day has to offer.
I can so relate to being in a ‘total mess’ before attending the presentations of Serge Benhayon and Universal medicine. It is only with being truly honest with ourselves and as you express so well hartanne60 once we realise it is the way we are living (through our own choices) that ‘sabotages the love that is naturally there’ within. We can then move onwards and upwards and make those much needed self loving/self nurturing changes and like Sue’s shared list implement these into our every way of living.
Hi Sue,
you pretty much sum it all up! All keypoints to live a life of self love and self care, which also means more love and care for others. If the body is filled with love, it can not but pour it onto others…
I totally agree with you delorme2013. In my experience when I don’t look after myself in a loving way, there is no way I can effectively look after anyone else in a loving way either .
Thank you Sue this is a really lovely blog. I agree with all that you share about what Universal Medicine offers and presents. It made me giggle and laugh and an ouch or two to read your blog, as there are parts I can so relate to, and still do at times. Such as “I disregard how I was feeling”. Often I can go to my head and assume I feel awful, deliberately so, as its a great way to stay small and deny love, or the responsibility of self love and being love, but in fact I actually feel really lovely. And the learning to not beat myself up and give myself a hard time, even compare how I am with how I was yesterday etc. All along my body is asking me to be more gentle and loving. There is no need to push or rush through the day, but take time and enjoy.
Thanks gylrae, I so know what you mean, especially about the ‘ no need to push or rush through the day’. I used to try and do too much and do everything (on my to do list for example) on one day, even if I was feeling tired. Now it doesn’t matter if I spread things out over a few days. I then enjoy what I do rather than wanting everything done now. Less is more, and makes life much simpler when I listen to my body.
“I resisted this simple truth and didn’t want to face myself, warts and all!” I can relate to what you have written here Sue and for me it started with this resistance to let go of perfection and accepting the simplicity of just feeling what is there for me, no beating up just the focus of what is there inside me, love. Simple love!
I liked what you said Anneliese, ‘to let go of perfection and accepting the simplicity of just feeling what is there for me’. I also used to strive for perfection, which is the opposite of simplicity really. Its about feeling for the truth which is inside us all.
Sue, I felt so peaceful reading your story. So simple, but very powerful the level of self love and nurturing.
Thanks Sue, it isn’t rocket science but it was only after attending Universal Medicine Presentations that I, too, discovered ways of connecting and loving myself. This way of living feels so natural, so ‘right’ in my body. I have to question how I did not find it myself? I realise that I allowed myself to be overwhelmed and influenced by old beliefs, family habits or patterns, the Media and things going on outside of myself. It all makes sense now – the answers to what is true, lies within in me and all I have to do is to be still, breathe gently and consciously, connect to me, consider and then take action. Presentations by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine have opened up a whole new way of being in the world which is more honest and loving of myself and others.
As you say, it’s not rocket science, but why does it take someone else to point out that by simply loving and caring for ourselves we can develop a true way of living? Have we been denying what we truly feel for so long? These are questions that I have been pondering…for me, I have felt like I don’t deserve this love from myself – something that I am now working on.
True ch1956, what Serge Benhayon presents isn’t rocket science, it is a natural, normal way to live. A way of living that can lead to true and lasting healing. By attending Universal Medicine presentations myself I have gained more confidence, feel more loving towards myself and others, and am opening up to my true potential, and this feels empowering. No one else has done this for me, I have done this for myself with the support of Universal Medicine of course, and this is the beauty of the teachings, that the power to truly change our lives is within us all, Serge presents to us, and it is then our choice where to take it.
Agree! Universal Medicine offers true education, natural and very caring for yourself and others.
Thanks Sue! Like you,what I learned about me and life with Serge Benhayon in six years that has no point of comparison with all my years of Ph.D training. Universal Medicine delivers true education one that does not leave YOU and your body aside.
Thank you Sue and emfeldman, I agree Serge Benhayon delivers true education that has inspired me to get of my butt and become pro–active in my own heath and well-being. This commitment to life has also inspired many other Universal Medicine students.
I enjoyed what you shared with us emfeldman – It reminded me how I used to feel attending school from the ages between 5 and 16 years old and trying to fit in with the education systems way of learning. A lot of the time I would switch off and gaze out of the window. There is no comparison to the life’s lessons that we are all reawakening too as we choose to listen to what is being presented by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. This has my undivided attention, participation and appreciation.
Thank you Sue every time I return to this blog it always inspires me.
I agree Marion I used to ‘switch off ‘ and day dream in many classes at school too. The presentations by Serge Benhayon of The Ageless Wisdom always has my undivided attention and participation, by contrast. Now here are lessons that I truly appreciate to be relevant to living life.
Yes this is a really inspiring blog not only as it shares Sue’s rich life experience but also the wisdom she has come to in looking after and loving herself.
There is a lot of things I could draw from what you share Sue, but the one that stands out for me right now and that I use as much as I can is the Gentle Breath Meditation. It’s a winner for me in re-connecting and to maintain a steadiness in my life.
Beautiful guide-lines for every day.
A beautiful gentle read, thank you Sue. I particularly agree – ‘It’s not rocket science nor a set of “do’s and don’ts” – they just make total sense.’ I have found this particularly supportive – to find a way of living that is simple, and that I am enough without all the complications that can be imposed from the outside.
Dancing queen Sue – thank you so much for your amazing blog and your wonderfull little list with “a few things you learnt along the way that you are working with” I found this list very helpful and easy to understand and so everyone can have a benefit from it!!!!!
Dear Sue, thank you, there is so much love and self honouring in your words. ‘Feel, don’t think, that way I honour myself.’ I particularly love this.
I also love the Gentle breath meditation.. I do it every night before I go to sleep and it allows me to let go of many things I’ve been holding onto that day or if I have reacted to something. Also it’s a time to just feel me and who I am.
I totally agree too – you won’t find a more supportive environment anywhere else in the world.
‘Give myself more time, don’t rush, and build a momentum of gentleness.’ Love that line, Sue.
It is one that resonates deeply with me at this moment in time!
Walking early in the morning is one of my favourite things to do too. ‘It is a time I enjoy to be with myself, in the fresh morning air, feeling the opportunities a new day brings… to start afresh.’ This is exactly how I feel about it too, it sets the day up and helps me focus on what’s important, and you are so right, there is a sense of the amazing opprortunies the day will bring.
So so so true Leigh, when I’m not fully focused on something it doesn’t make sense, and I find it takes me so much longer. With full presence it’s so much easier, sharper and quicker -the difference as you say is black and white.
Thank you Sue for the great reminders – especially “don’t try and impose my views on others” this really stuck out for me.
For me too Mary – when I’m not so hard on myself and more accepting, open and allowing for all that I am to truly shine I see others for who they truly are – amazing.
A lovely blog to read – thank you. Here is to a life of learning.
