I first became aware of Universal Medicine through my daughter, in 2008. At that time, unbeknown to me, my daughter had been involved with Universal Medicine for some time. I began to notice various lifestyle changes she was making and was very curious about the reasons for these. Even though all the changes were decidedly for the better, I began to get very defensive about what she was doing. When it became known to me that she was involved with a ‘group’ of people, alarm bells began to ring.
I had in my past been involved with a group for 15 years, and although we started out with grand ideas of universal brother and sisterhood, in the end there was much misery generated by the experiment.
My daughter was using terms such as ‘honour your own loveliness’ and ‘all you have to do is come back to who you really are, which is love’. These terms sounded familiar to me, and I began to place them in the field of Eastern religion.
I had also had an academic and practical background of study in philosophy, theology and theosophy, so I was very ready to argue that joining a group was not the answer.
As my daughter was very adamant that she was very happy doing what she was doing, and as I could see the amazing change in her self-confidence, self-esteem and the gentle, lovely way she now lived, and since I could not convince her to change her mind, I decided that the only way to really do anything was to get first-hand information of the ‘group’ she was involved with.
I attended a talk with great caution and very ready to criticise.
What I found was a simple message. A message about taking responsibility for the way I live, my health and my well-being. About having awareness of how I affect others by my daily living, and so living in a way to create harmony for myself and others.
In all my studies, and from all the gurus/teachers I had listened to in the last 40 years, I had been reading and hearing about meditating into a peaceful state of being. I practised and practised but never seemed to be able to bring that knowledge into my daily living and actually be in peace in this turbulent world.
Listening to the talks from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine I began to understand that indeed, I had not been connected to the love that is really me, and without that connection there was no question of being able to connect to that inner stillness so often talked about.
I found that Universal Medicine is not a ‘group’. There was no suggestion that I should hand over any money, or that I should believe in a dogma or doctrine. It does not expound nor denounce any religion. There is a non-judgemental foundation, and talks and healing are open to all to come and go as they wish.
I am now able to claim and honour my own loveliness. I now take responsibility for my own health by awareness of diet and exercise. I express love through attempting to make my every action gentle. I experience joy in the stillness I am now able to achieve.
I have found the ‘wisdom of the ages’ in action.
At last I have come back to myself, which is where I was always supposed to be.
This is home.
The Truth about Universal Medicine 
I love the way you approached the teachings and how you call it ‘I have found the ‘wisdom of the ages’ in action.’ And it is so true it is not about reading a book or following the guru or whatever. but only about being a student in everyday life who puts into practice what is presented and then one can connect to the wisdom that is in everyone.
‘I found that Universal Medicine is not a ‘group’. There was no suggestion that I should hand over any money, or that I should believe in a dogma or doctrine. It does not expound nor denounce any religion. There is a non-judgemental foundation, and talks and healing are open to all to come and go as they wish’ I can completely understand the fears you might have had about your daughter especially as there is so much bad press out there casting all sorts of serious allegations about Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and anyone who supports it. Awesome that you chose to experience for yourself the truth of this excellent organisation and its founder.
How do we live in our day to day and how hurt and scarred have we been by that way of living that we consider that living in more connection to the body and with a dedication to love is a concern that there may be an ulterior motive and because it is a group it could be part of a cult???! As humans we have a deep level of responsibility for abusing each other and manipulating each other for our own ends that results in this lack of trust. I have loved being part of the education Universal Medicine has offered me because it puts the responsibility firmly on my shoulders and is completely my free-will to live or not.
We are often told the ways to be, but not the innate loveliness we are and without this as our foundational understanding we adopt things to better ourselves and in doing so we impose more on ourselves and our bodies. Universal Medicine brings you back to the simplicity of knowing there is a love in us all, and it’s for us to connect to and live from that love.
It is great you were discerning and had your daughter’s true well-being at the heart of this discernment and at the same time were willing to see the positive changes she had made in her life and not deny or belittle this. I have known and gone to Universal Medicine courses and presentations for over 12 years now, but what I appreciate reading your blog, is seeing more clearly that currently there is nothing else in the world that offers truth, true healing and genuine care so openly, transparently with no need or want or agenda to humanity than what Universal Medicine are offering and have offered for nearly 2 decades now.
Universal Medicine truly supports all to re-connect back with their inner-wisdom and to unfold that back into how we live our life in every way. So no doctrine or dogma, as you describe, just truly simple supportive lifestyle medicine for all.
It is very interesting to read how you found it hard to accept your daughter’s choices even though you could clearly see that she had changed for the better, and that your scepticism came from you having been previously exposed to something that sounded familiar and good but turned out not true. It is those sneaky lies that present themselves as good that does more damage.
Through this gorgeous testimonial you highlight so beautifully how an openness to seek truth is what dispels the walls of protection we assembled from our hurts, where we realise that we are so much more that our hurts or protection, and the love we are within is what truly guides us to know ourselves and all of us.
I love how your sceptical curiosity led you to such a wonderful place with yourself and no doubt your relationship with your daughter is ten fold better.
How lovely that you checked out the group your daughter was spending time with, and how you found the message to be so simple; ‘A message about taking responsibility for the way I live, my health and my well-being. About having awareness of how I affect others by my daily living, and so living in a way to create harmony for myself and others.’ Extremely simple, yet very powerful when we live from the love that we are first.
Yes and pretty cool that rather than criticise from the outside she decided to understand it first. There is so much to learn from this blog about understanding and supporting those we love.
I find that even in-between attending Universal Medicine events the mind can make everything so complicated and critical. At the events or in a session with a Universal Medicine practitioner I am brought back to the simplicity of love that forever remains in the body. Reminding me to live more body centred than from my mind and it’s thoughts.
Beautiful sharing, there are just endless blessings awaiting us when we choose to meet through our bodies first and not the fears generated by the head.
By understanding that human life is all ‘about taking responsibility for the way I live, my health and my well-being’ like you SB I too began to accept that whatever experience that occurred in my life, was directly because of the ripple effect of my own choices.
This is beautiful example of the power of the ripple effect. When those around us change sometimes it can be very challenging as the status quo is threatened and life as we know it can start to wobble. But if we are able to simply observe without judgement, really allowing ourselves to appreciate the changes in them instead of going into reaction, then we are opening ourselves up to the possibility that perhaps these changes are ones that would benefit our lives too; but it is always important to discern and to feel the truth for ourselves first.
This is such a great blog but not an unusual story for Universal Medicine students. So many people have tried to find enlightenment through knowledge or practices which claim to have the answers. However the simplicity of listening to your body and taking energetic responsibility in everyday life is what we really need to reconnect a person to who they are.
Yes, we are home when we are in connection with our true source – Fire (our Soul, light, love and truth).
Beautiful…the simplicity of truth arises above any past hurtful experience as it deeply appeals to who we truly from within. When we open up to truth we realise that it has always been there ready and willing to support whomever chooses it.
Being observant is a very good thing. Being open to see what is there.. To not judge the situation but to understand and see what it is thats being said or done. In this case of change sometimes we have to allow understanding for something completely different to be actually very supportive & life changing as Universal Medicine is – uniquly and truly enriching.
“The ‘wisdom of the ages’ in action” – I love this. Perhaps we’ve become so sceptical as we’ve been hoodwinked by the non-wisdom of the ages in theory and in practice. There is so much that has all the right words, or at least many of them and sometimes many of the right practices (but not all). Because they appear to be the wisdom of the ages, and it is that truth what we are seeking, we’re then let down when we realise we knew all along it wasn’t it.
Hello S.B. what was lovely to read was the fact that you saw the changes in your daughter’s wellbeing and you were held with the memories of the group you once followed, the words used by many gurus can capture people, when I used to hear the word ‘love’ I used to think of the hippie era. When I heard Serge Benhayon talk about love, I saw a whole new meaning that no one had ever touched upon and to that depth.
What a great reflection your daughter provided and allowing yourself to actually explore it for yourself – ‘This is home’ – thank you for being so open and sharing your experience – there is another way home.
I loved that you chose to discover for yourself what Universal Medicine was about instead of react to your daughter’s changes. Many people can find it challenging when their loved ones begin to make more loving choices, it seems to make them feel uncomfortable or they feel judged in some way. So lovely that you choose to be inspired and open about your daughter’s choices and how this led to you finding your true path home as well.
This is a great example of how a lot of things happen in this world. We see or hear a part of something and make an interpretation of what it is from how things have been for us and don’t really have a look at what we are presented with. We then usually walk this interpretation around and discuss it with others who give there view from the same place. Not often do we have a good look at what ever it is, not often to we have a look at the whole thing. With life moving so so quick now it’s even more important to stop and make sure we have everything in our view. Like the article is saying, what was there at the first point with part of the picture was hugely different to the actual fact of the matter, or the truth of it. Grab a part and you will always be blind to the rest.
There are so many “groups” in the world that are totally off, so your wariness is totally understandable, and our discernment at all times and in all situations is paramount. But your story just shows that our openness to new possibilities, married with our discernment, can lead to some amazing opportunities.
Great sharing S.B, yes one realises that without having connected to our essence and living life from here we are living from the mental constructs of the mind.
How lovely that you were simply allowed the space to feel and make the choice to attend Universal Medicine events of your own accord based on a reflection you wished to know more of, rather than any imposed need for you to change or join any ‘group’ that in fact is not what Universal Medicine is about.
Simple and powerful truths you present SB by taking responsibility for the choices you make in life and understanding how those choices affect your life and well being and those around you. A beautiful reflection of love from your daughter.
“What I found was a simple message. A message about taking responsibility for the way I live, my health and my well-being. About having awareness of how I affect others by my daily living, and so living in a way to create harmony for myself and others.”
Stunning summary of Universal Medicine, its very moving that you were lead by your daughter and not the other way round, just proves we are all people – not mother and daughter first but friends that have made there way home.
‘I have found the ‘wisdom of the ages’ in action.’ A beautiful inspiration from your daughter that brings you back to your natural loveliness.
When we discover that there is a greater depth of connection to ourselves that we can be living with, a life of enrichment begins to unfold as we bring more of who we truly are to all we do, more of our love within, the Soulfullness we are naturally here to live.
I love how you went and found out for yourself what Universal Medicine was all about rather than project a whole lot of ideas around it. This is a truly responsible way to live.
Well said Elizabeth – as our discernment of truth, what we choose to engage in and share with the world is our responsibility alone, and as a result is what shapes the quality of life we live and world we are currently existing in.
Wow 40 years of listening to gurus and teachers and Universal Medicine was the first to give you tools to help you stay steady in the craziness of the world? That’s pretty amazing, and an amazing testimonial to Universal Medicine’s practical approach to life and teachings on how to live in a way that takes responsibility and supports you to live day to day.
A very powerful testimonial. Thank you SB.
It is amazing to see how one simple message can change the direction of life and how we choose to commit to its forever unfolding wisdom and teachings. Coming home as you say is just a step towards a deepening relationship with self and those we connect with every day.
When we start to take full responsibility for the way that we live, our health and our well-being we begin to accept that our choices not only accumulate but have a ripple effect on our entire life. In turn this allows us the clarity to understand why we have got to where we are at and what we can do about it to initiate the necessary corrections and live to our full potential.
Just like many others you have found a simple message, one that has changed so many lives and that is opening us up to our essence and truly engage in life. What Universal Medicine brings needs to be deeply appreciated.
How wonderful that you were curious enough SB, to want to go and find out for yourself what your daughter was doing, and willing to be open enough to let in the truth of what was being offered by Serge Benhayon and to give it a go for yourself. For until we really experience something for ourselves, how can we know the truth of it?
S.B. I love it that you went to see what was it about “this group” by yourself and that you made your own experiences. For me that is one way to not get trapped in what I think is right. You never know what you will find if you allow yourself to be open or curious.
It is great that you were discerning but also willing to feel if there was any truth in what was offered by your daughter, Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. For me I feel this is the best way to be, it does not give any power to something outside of ourselves.
Returning to that inner stillness within can be experienced as coming home, a place that is so familiar to us because it is who we really are from nature. To me it is not only a experience but something that is a fact and the only way to be me in life, at ease and at home within myself.
“I am now able to claim and honour my own loveliness.” This is it. The important fact here is knowing how to claim ‘it’ and not to be fooled by the illusion that you think you are – the ‘good life’ versus the life that is true.
‘Don’t knock it till you try it’… are the words that come to me. We can be so quick to judge what is unfamiliar or what exposes how we are living.
A few women who are quite new to Universal Medicine attended the Livingness One workshop recently. Their partners were suspicious about them coming along which led them to be a little wary as well. They both reported back to me that it was definitely not a cult and how much they loved Serge Benhayon and absolutely loved the workshop. They also shared with me that the way they were with their partners that evening dispelled any doubt in them as well. The power of love !!!
I love that you were open to the changes in your daughter and allowed yourself to explore what was behind it all. It is all too easy to fall for the judgement and closing off in this world where we are taught to protect ourselves at all costs.
Yes Esther – the beauty and power of reflection (i.e. how we live) is communicated just as strongly as words or expression. This blog is a beautiful example of this.
The world opens up to us when we are open to seeing the reflection that another brings.
So simple and yet so valuable as it changes lives. We can be that change, in fact, only we can be that change. It is equally important to be discerning, to ensure there is no blind following so I love reading your approach.
The only way to bring about harmony within the home is to live in connection with self and the more I become aware and live in connection to myself, the more I am aware of others as it is impossible to not feel the connection I have to those around me and beyond.
‘What I found was a simple message. A message about taking responsibility for the way I live, my health and my well-being.’ Spot on, the Universal Medicine teachings support us to make loving choices that bring true healing to all areas of our life – super simple yet super powerful when we apply these principles into our daily lives.
‘I have found the ‘wisdom of the ages’ in action.’ And you just apply it in every day living. How simple and joyful our lives can become and be when we make the choice to return.
How cool! I love stories like this, because it completely shatters the misconception some choose to have about Universal Medicine. I too was one day a huge skeptic of all things. I believed in life being difficult, and there was no way around it. I’ve since learned that I’m not a victim of circumstance and that I’m responsible for my every choice, and because of that knowledge, I have to live with the consequences of that, so as a result I make some pretty awesome choices so that I, and those around me get to live those consequences.
Simple, practical, liveable truths. We can choose to live them or not. That to me is what is presented by Universal Medicine.
Exactly Jennifer! Could not have said it better myself. It is simply just presented to us, with no expectation for anyone to choose to live a life of self responsibility. I know in my experience though, that my life has improved greatly by simply choosing to take ownership of my life and choices.
That is exactly how it should be, coming to understand a way of living through your own experience, not being told to do something or follow blindly.
I love them too, Elizabeth. I sat cross-armed at the back of the room already convinced that I wasn’t going to like what I heard and saw. But, there was nothing to challenge – it all made sense. Hard to argue with truth!
I love stories like yours. Unsure but curious, dipped your toe in and found that you wanted to jump in…but into what? If you’re like me, into a self-loving relationship. And that is beautiful – how can you not love giving yourself time, care and attention.
The simple words you have shared SB relate to the way Serge Benhayon presents the truth. For me, the simplicity of what you present also makes sense. After 12 years of listening to Serge Benhayon the message has not changed and I have a choice to re-connect back to the love I am. The tools and techniques to do this are in the way I live and interact with the rest of humanity. Love is not difficult and asks nothing from me other than to be love!
One of the great harms of the spiritual new age is that it may have some of the words that sound like truth, but it doesn’t carry the fullness of the soul and we are left cynical and mistrusting. It also does not have people who live from their soul, as a steady, simple and practical guide. This steady light from Serge Benhayon has been a constant marker for me, one that I can always come back to.
It is amazing how when someone close to us starts to make true changes in their lives, we can react and become defensive. It’s almost like we don’t know our place with them and feel this tension, as any old dynamics no longer belong.
Yes Fiona and also as we make the changes and another chooses to react we remain true to ourselves and not react to their reaction. It is inevitable that when one person makes a commitment to make changes to let go of that which is not true and learn to support themselves in a more loving way this then has an impact on those around them.
Dear SB,
To make the choice to investigate what your daughter had found is magic. The love you have for her runs deep that you would attend a presentation that you had thought was harming. How magnificent you found yourself through this one simple choice.
I agree with you, Leigh. There may have been concern on one hand, but the proof of her daughter’s changes were undeniable.
“What I found was a simple message. A message about taking responsibility for the way I live, my health and my well-being. About having awareness of how I affect others by my daily living, and so living in a way to create harmony for myself and others.” So simple, bringing us right back to ourselves and the power that we have.
Well said, Universal Medicine is not a group, it teaches you to take personal responsibility for your own health and well being. Nothing and nobody ever asked me to take responsibility for myself until I came across Universal Medicine – and it’s such an amazing way to live!
The truly beautiful and inspiring thing about Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon’s presentations is that he makes to clear that he is a presenter of the Ageless Wisdom, a wisdom we all equally have access to when we choose live connected with our own bodies and express for the wisdom accessible through our inner heart.
“I have found the ‘wisdom of the ages’ in action.” – A great way to describe what Universal Medicine offers! The actual livingness of wisdom and not just words.
Beautiful SB. . . coming home by connecting to our essence within is all life is really about, for from here we can truly begin to live love.
Exactly so – Universal Medicine is not about any knowledge, ideals, beliefs or impositions – it is a very simple way of living what is equally within us all. This is who we are and what we miss, so reconnecting gives a sense of coming home.
This is one of my favourite blogs, I first came across Universal Medicine through my mother. I immediately thought she was with some weird guru and I was ready to attack. What was funny is my mother was the best that she had ever been, she looked vital and happy and healthy for the first time in a long time, so my fear had no real grounds. What I discovered in my first meeting with Serge was an extremely conservative man, dressed very normally, he was not salesie or flash, he had not one bit of strangeness, he had not one ounce of sleaze, he was quite simply a super solid individual that you felt you would trust with your life. That one meeting/session revealed to me how extremely self destructive my daily life had become, living on coffee, cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, greasy hangover food and no exercise, surviving basically and extremely empty and unhappy. I walked out of that room realise I was not a looser or mess up or a problem that had no solution. I was just as amazing as the man that I had just met, I was like Serge, awesome and capable of anything. This wasn’t communicated with words but it was very clear to me what was being communicated, I am now a vital, successful, accomplished woman, with an amazingly loving husband and 5 incredible children. I consider Serge a dear friend, as I know that people like him are what is needed in a modern world that is struggling, in a world where most of us are running away or lost, he is a light, as are we all when we live our full potential.
Thankyou SB your story is very honest and quite delightful! The thing about the Ageless Wisdom is that it belongs to all of us, this is not a special or unique formula that comes from one person, but rather it is something that has been shared across the ages by many who have lived this wisdom. When I look at the worlds most successful personal growth or “success” based presenters they seem to be promoting something they say works for everyone, that uniquely came from them, but it’s often based on accumulating wealth or outer factors, and after the high of the workshop wears down life usually continues on in its same drab way. The presenters often also do not seem joyful, in harmony, or particularly balanced in their own lives. Serge Benhayon lives what he shares, and this is what has made the huge difference to me, alongside the fact that I am held equal and that the truth he shares lives equally inside me. At the end of the day the results Universal Medicine gets speak for themselves, as the Ageless Wisdom can be lived in all facets of life and is not about any “success” formulas. To me, true success is in the love we live for ourselves and for the whole of humanity.
When we become fully responsible for the way we live our everyday, the ripple effect all our choices have not only on our own health and wellbeing but all others equally, our days literally come alive.
“I had not been connected to the love that is really me, and without that connection there was no question of being able to connect to that inner stillness so often talked about”. This is it in a nutshell, it is really all about connection for without it, we make decisions with our head first rather than feeling what the body is saying.
This is a very touching testimony, from an educated wary skeptic, to an open and accepting woman with an appreciation for ageless wisdom. Welcome home, as home is just being all that we are, it cannot be brought or sold and is eternally there for us, if we are willing to go there and accept the responsibility.
I love this SB…. Sharing your experience from both sides of the looking glass is a beautiful offering to those confused or wary like you once were…. to realise there is nothing to be concerned of and everything to gain from the harmony and love found though choosing awareness and responsibility.
Great to read your sharing again SB and admire your courage and concern to check out Universal Medicine from the standpoint of your own past. I agree that it is the most amazing teaching that Serge Benhayon presents and the wonderful philosophy that is always expanding that I love, and the truth of coming home to the Love of God.
This blog is so honest and sweet and simple and beautiful, thank you so much for sharing all of this with us!
i feel there is such a simplicity in living this way of life. In commitment and dedication to love. There is much more to us than we get to learn. And it is beautiful to read how you’ve been inspired, but clearly not turned into any group. As I know and experience there isn’t any.
So beautiful to read, of you coming home S.B, to the love that you are and always have been.
The idea that Universal Medicine is a group that somehow controls people seems rather ridiculous when you consider that there are many students of the work who live in many corners of the globe. It would be worthwhile for coverage of Universal Medicine that studied how the teaching supports many people to make healthy lifestyle choices in spite of being so far spread. And how those choices have created a difference to the health of many people that goes against what has become normalised rates of illness and disease.
It’s funny isn’t it, that we are so wary of something that might be a con and we don’t want to appear foolish so we have many defences yet what we find with Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine is inspiration to connect and come back to ourselves. This is so unusual that we still have to explain this to others even though they can see the great changes and joy in our lives. Saying this is different just doesn’t seem enough – but it is. We just have to live it – this is not anything we can convert anyone to. How do you convert someone to themselves?
“At that time, unbeknown to me, my daughter had been involved with Universal Medicine for some time. I began to notice various lifestyle changes she was making and was very curious about the reasons for these. Even though all the changes were decidedly for the better, I began to get very defensive about what she was doing. When it became known to me that she was involved with a ‘group’ of people, alarm bells began to ring.”
It’s really strange how we are not alarmed but see it as completely normal when someone gets involved with any influential group that doesn’t have the best interests of its members at heart, yet here we have Universal Medicine that encourages self responsibility, listening to what’s right for you and your body, and fosters a healthy way of living and people become concerned. This just doesn’t make sense.
Thank you for showing that staying open to the possibilities offers understanding.
A beautiful sharing SB on the feeling of reconnecting back to our true selves – the Ageless Wisdom powerfully reminds us of this truth once again.
I have learnt more about all religions and philosophy in my 8 years listening to Universal Medicine than I did from my 12 years of religious school education. As you say in your writing there is no group to join and I know it is hard to fathom that there is no group to join as just about everywhere wants us to join something these days whether it be the supermarket and retail reward programs at outlets to the local gym.
A beautiful sharing SB. It’s great that you chose to check out the ‘group’ for yourself instead of making judgement on your daughter’s decisions by comparing them to your past experiences. Truth comes when we are open to receiving it.
This is what I’ve found Aimee – that there is no need to preach or teach to anybody about Universal Medicine because it can always be seen in the way people are living… and this to me is the best inspiration simply because it comes without imposition and provides an opportunity for others to be aware of another way of living and if they feel to, to choose this for themselves.
Great comment Amita, it was S.B’s willingness to find out about the truth that allowed truth to be received.
Beautifully said Angela and I totally agree as this was my experience too. I love the openess, truth and love delivered in your comment, this blog and Universal Medicine.
Thank you for this awesome blog S.B. I have experiened people reacting to my choice to attend Universal Medicine present and courses too. I have observed that the reactions are from a stance of protection not openess. With so many other modalities available that are not serving people but harming I can understand why some people would be cautious. I was cautious myself at first but once I heard Serge Benhayon present everything resonated with me and I felt extremely inspired and wanted to know more.
This so supportive of the feeling I got when I first went to a Universal Medicine presentation, and still feel to this day. It is incredibly supportive to be a student of the teachings of Serge Benhayon in my everyday life, as that is what it is about. Living our love and truth in our everyday lives, that is what is teaching us most.
How beautiful that you chose to be inspired by your daughter rather than the parental ‘mother knows best’. .I too had been very wary of joining any sort of a group but Universal Medicine is not a group but an invitation to humanity to live in brotherhood. “What I found was a simple message. A message about taking responsibility for the way I live, my health and my well-being. About having awareness of how I affect others by my daily living, and so living in a way to create harmony for myself and others.”
S.B, I love these terms..’honour your own loveliness’ and ‘all you have to do is come back to who you really are, which is love’. They sound so simple and yet they are so true. You were blessed by your daughter and she is by you.
Thank you SB for your sharing. I too have experienced by family and friends being worried about my involvement with Universal Medicine – but the worst ‘side effects’ of this involvement with UM has seen all my relationships with my family improve and blossom over the years, so any worry they have had has evaporated because of this greater openness and honesty and love that we now share between us. It has been an amazing ‘gift’ to have come across Universal Medicine, and my family and friends can feel the changes in me and are loving it!
SB. How lovely that you were able to see the truth of Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon and the wonderful Ancient Wisdom that he Presents. To share with ones family and bring the self nurturing and self responsibility of the teachings into your everyday living.
Very beautiful to read. I love how you expose what a not true ‘group’ is, as in having to do certain things to belong etc. This is indeed all not there with Universal Medicine. It is just people choosing to live in a certain way and then choosing to come together to share, but never from a ‘must do’ to belong etc.
A beautiful sharing SB, I know the feeling I had when I started attending Universal Medicine presentations as well, what Serge Benhayon presents around health and well-being is simple, practical and truly works. How did I know it truly worked from so early on? Because I could feel the integrity and true love with everything Serge Benhayon presented, it was clear this man truly walked his talk.
Serge Benhayon presents the Ageless Wisdom. Never has he instructed, or told me what to do or a way to be. He pushed the first domino for me, now the rest fall by themselves if I choose and when I choose it. SB, your story of reconnecting to the wisdom is superb to read.
SB you are an amazing parent. To not judge your daughter or force your past experiences and beliefs onto her allowed you to open up and see for yourself what Universal Medicine was all about.
Yes I agree, it was a very loving way to find out more and from that S.B found truth and love, and now living it, this is amazing. I am appreciating how things worked out from curiosity and caution to openess, acceptance, love and truth.
One of the many beautiful things about what Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon present is the very fact it is not owned by them at all. They are presenting something that is inside us all and something we can all choose to express and live by each moment of every day if we so choose to. This is unheard of among any group or organisation I have been with myself too as any of these groups generally try and own what they say so they can at least make money and followers from it.
“I attended a talk with great caution and very ready to criticise.”
I feel the writer is courageous and amazing in that she had tried many things in their life, (which caused the scepticism and cynicism to develop), and yet they were still (resistantly) willing to find out about another possibility; they kept going until ‘home’ was arrived at, wonderful!
A personal experience shared by many when you see a person living his or her life in a gentle, loving and a responsible way and we have a choice as with everything, as through your daughter after letting go of the defence or criticism, as a parent, it was all very simple and loving. ‘Wisdom of the ages’ in action How simple can it be to come back home.
A lovely tale. I can understand individuals being sceptical about a religious organisation because most people have not seen true religion or love in action from any institution in the world. Religions to date have a history of causing much harm in many instances. But Universal Medicine presents The Ageless Wisdom which is innate in us all, and this is why we feel the ‘coming home’ feeling you speak of. It is this lived experience, a ‘livingness’ from individuals that shows and will continue to present true religion and true love and re-connect humanity once again to what was once known.
The feeling that ‘this is home’ you mention SB is the exact sensation I experienced when I attended my first Universal Medicine event. And how cool, as you show, that this sensation was not attached to the specific place, speaker or even the people, but the feeling and quality of love I could feel. Now I know, just like you, that this quality of love is in me too.
“I have found the ‘wisdom of the ages’ in action.
At last I have come back to myself, which is where I was always supposed to be.
This is home.”
These three sentences express all what has to be expressed. This was my experience from my very first session in Sacred Esoteric Healing, a healing modality from Universal Medicine. I felt ME for the very first time since a long time. All presentations I attended gave me exactly the same feeling and reflected that I carry this ageless wisdom within myself. I only had to connect to it by simple daily choices as you described accurately. Empowered by self-responsibility I feel home.
“This is home.”
Thank you for sharing SB that taking responsibility for ones choices and life need not be avoided but is actually the key to greater health and well-being.
What Universal Medicine presents is so simple and obvious yet I have been caught up by trying to explain it in ways I now know I don’t need to. The way I live is all I need to present and if someone else takes that or leaves it is now cool with me. What is amazing for me about the presentation from Serge Benhayon is how practical and real they are, I for one have no interest in spirituality or any eastern religion practices.
Gorgeous SB this indeed is home, as you have come back to living the love that you and we all naturally are.
What an amazing blessing that your daughter was able to reflect out to you, and what a beautiful depth this must have brought to your relationship.
‘wisdom of the ages’ in action – precisely S.B. No matter where or how far we walk home is the only place our heart comes to rest.
Grasping the fact that our foundation is self love and what that actually entails in holistic, yet practical terms, has been, and still is, a huge learning curve for me. Every day I notice more around me that challenges me and can take me away from my sense of innate worth if I let it over power my connection to love. Yet I know maintaining the connection to myself is the key to living my life and that I will never deviate from the path I am now on.
Over the past 8 years I have received criticism from my family about how I choose to live, equally they are concerned about me, it seems to them, belonging to a group. In truth, I have changed enormously in this time, I am no longer the meek daughter/sister of old, today I am more responsible and claimed as an adult, a woman. It is the consistency of my choices that will speak for the vitality, harmony & wisdom that is offered by Universal Medicine.
What a relief it must have been for you to see and experience the amazing change in your daughter and find out that she was not in a cult but a truly inspiring family called Universal Medicine.
To get to know Serge Benhayon and The Teachings of the Way of the Livingness yourself is a truly great testament to the credibility of Universal Medicine.
It is amazing when we come back to who we really are, after searching all my life and most of that spent with a cult and guru, it was extra-ordinary to find the teachings of Serge Benhayon. Universal Medicine is completely not a cult, and I am qualified to know the difference.
What you have shared is a great testimony to the power of hearing truth… presented so simply that it dissolves doubt and apprehension almost immediately with a wisdom we all crave to hear and inspiring a connection we have long missed.
The one thing that was missing all the time was my connection to my inner heart and it is the one thing that makes the fundamental difference.
I found this too SB, the first time I went to a Universal Medicine talk it was so real and just made sense – no airy fairy. Just health and responsibility on a platter.
Thank you S.B for sharing this simple but beautiful way you came to find a way of living that now feels so true for you.
I truly appreciate all that you’ve shared here S.B. What stands out in particular, is that despite some pain from your past associated with a ‘group’, your respectful relationship with your daughter, and your willingness to appreciate what was changing for her, still led you to go and ‘see for yourself’.
That you found ‘home’ and so much more of ‘you’, via the simplicity of the teachings and presentations of Universal Medicine, feels so deeply joyful and amazing – what an ‘added bonus’, and indeed a marker of your own willingness to go beyond hurt and past mistrust, and allow you to re-discover ‘you’…
this is so gorgeous S. as what you express captures what Serge Benhayon brings in all it’s honesty, simplicity and yet super powerful truly life changing ways!
I love that “I have found the wisdom of the ages in action” – we sure have and it is an honour to live and evolve that lived truth into our everyday.
S.B this is such an honest post showing concern and love for your daughter in exploring the possibility that what she found through Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon was, and using your words here: “the ‘wisdom of the ages’ in action” that you had looked for and for so long, 40 years. I can only feel complete joy for the space you honoured your daughter with in her choices, and for finding Home again. Beautiful.
SB, I love that you came home, I feel it absolutely in how you write, and as others note, your open-ness to looking despite your scepticism is great. I know this feeling, I was wary attending my first Universal Medicine group as I have been with all groups, and it took time, but what I felt immediately from Serge Benhayon was an absolute acceptance of who I was, and at no stage did I feel pressured to be different. I was just inspired by what was presented, and over time made changes based on that, in other words as you describe I came home.
I agree SB – Universal Medicine’s messages are beautifully simple and refreshingly practical. There is no dogma or doctrine, judgement or ties, just inspiration and support.
S.B I love how despite your previous experience with groups you choose to remain open to what your daughter was presenting. It would seem this amazing quality has supported you to reconnect to what was true about you which is so amazing.
Awesome to hear about S.B. It’s interesting that we (your not the only one) have a preconceived idea about a group of people, doctrine etc. It says wonders about the groups that are currently formed – I can personally feel the harm they bring and am so apprehensive about them and joining one. I feel we wouldn’t have any apprehensions about doctrines or groups if this wasn’t the truth. Interesting huh.
With Universal Medicine I came home to the love of my life. And I feel very sexy! This is not a sexual feeling in the normal use of the word. It’s a sparkling, innocent and tender.
Beautiful felixschumacher8, I love the playfulness and joy of what you’ve shared.
What a gorgeous blog S.B. How beautiful that your daughter was the inspiration for you to now ‘honour your own loveliness’. My children also inspire me in many ways to express more of who I am. At present, they are reminding me of the incredible and endless joy that is within me, and how much it just wants to be expressed – and how exquisite I am when I allow myself to express it. It makes me smile lovingly at myself, and back to them. Family and friends are such a beautiful reflection for us.
Anyone who walks in the doors to a Universal Medicine event has the opportunity to feel a normal group of people discussing life, love, inner-harmony, equality and evolution. The only difference to many other organizations discussing similar topics is that Universal Medicine goes beyond discussion – and live what they teach!
Through reflection we have the opportunity to make changes. Because we feel it’s true, not because we ‘follow’ a believe or rule. Ageless wisdom, that is what is offered, nothing more, nothing less.
An inspiring article that invites everyone to listen to presentations by Universal Medicine and choose whether it holds truth for them. There is no group to join; as the title says, it is universal; available to all to taste the medicine if they choose to.
“I have come back to myself” is a statement I can fully endorse since attending Universal Medicine events; they have supported me enormously.
Absolutely Gabriele, reconnecting is so simple, as are all the presentations by Serge Benhayon.
All the other stuff mentioned by SB seemed way out there or not a lived wisdom.
Just like SB, I had ideals and beliefs that held me back from the truth.
Thank you for sharing this, I love that you decided to take a look at Universal Medicine first hand as this was the only way for you to gain a true picture of what was really going on, so very wise.
It’s wonderful to read how you came with apprehension and found “a simple message. A message about taking responsibility for the way I live, my health and my well-being. About having awareness of how I affect others by my daily living, and so living in a way to create harmony for myself and others” and now you are home. Beautiful.
S.B. – thanks for a powerful blog describing how you have come from the hardness of deep scepticism and defensiveness, to the gentle tenderness you now feel you are living. Thank you.
Awesome SB, I love how you share the fact that what Universal Medicine presents is ‘A message about taking responsibility for the way I live, my health and my well-being. About having awareness of how I affect others by my daily living, and so living in a way to create harmony for myself and others’. Your words are simply expressed but so true.
What a wonderful experience to read your story SB. You have described everything so beautifully and simply. Through Serge and Universal Medicine I too have been given the gift of reconnection and love.
Wow S.B. your sharing is wunderbar because with your blog I can now more understand why people were reacting to Serge Benhayon. I have no Guru back round and so I could not understand why people are so alarmed. For me it is very simple if I listen to someone and my body can relax and expand, then there must be something truthful.
very true Ester – what you offer in your blog S, is how what is not true can hurt us to a point where we are no longer open to what is true. You being willing to see and accept the changes in your daughter and then moving past your own hurt brings great inspiration for all those with a similar back ground.
Great blog S.B.! The only thing I would differ with you is that the blog talks not just about a mother’s experience but also as your own. The world of gurus is totally alien to me. Never had a drop of interest in this kind of people. What I find interesting is the experience of people like you that through your apprehension makes very clear how damaging and deceiving that world is. This is also a great contribution of yours.
Yes, great point. There is evil in the world and sometimes we don’t always want to see it, myself for one. It is wonderful that S.B dealt with this hurt to reclaim the loveliness within her.
I absolutely agree too – be humble enough and open enough to learn from anyone is an amazing quality. So much of the time we are governed by age knows better but inspiration can come from anyone.
Thank you for sharing S.B. It is really powerful to witness somebody taking control of their lives and really blossoming as your daughter has done. If it all started to improve when she joined Universal Medicine that is a pretty good indicator of what the organization is about.
SB what a powerful line this is – ‘I have found the ‘wisdom of the ages’ in action.’ It was amazing to realise that through all the meditations & yoga that I had explored in search of how to connect to my Soul, the one thing that was missing all the time was my connection to my inner heart, to the Love that I am. I had believed that by doing these practices I was being Soulful, or on my way, but really, I wasn’t ‘feeling’ it. I knew that there was another way. And when I first heard Serge Benhayon present I was inspired as I knew I had found that way, the way of my inner-heart, the way of Love, and that it was there all along.
I totally agree – I find when I watch someone else being deeply caring it’s contagious.
‘At last I have come back to myself, which is where I was always supposed to be’. Yes, I can say this too, as will most who have found Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
What a beautiful reflection you received from your daughter. It’s inspiring to read about the changes you experienced when you began connecting to, and expressing from, your inner heart. Welcome home SB
‘What I found was a simple message. A message about taking responsibility for the way I live, my health and my well-being.’ What a beautiful sharing – thank you, and I fully agree with you.
What a lovely Gift you received when you attended Serge Benhayons presentation that day, you could say it was also inspired by your Daughter and your care for her too! A beautiful sharing thank you SB.
It’s great when truth is recognised.
Totally Ryoko. How powerful is the reflection of the livingness? And how much is actually being reflected each and everyday in the work spaces, homes, families etc from each person who choose to make life about love and self loving choices? The magic of God in action.
Thank you S.B. this is an amazing sharing and I felt very touched reading it. I loved how you as a mother didn’t just stand in what you presumed about the group- you out of care and love for your daughter went to check it out. It is lovely to read that you did this and saw, heard and felt for yourself.
So beautiful S.B. Awesome that you chose to find out more for yourself, rather than staying back and judging without any first hand experience for yourself. Brave step and how deeply you have been rewarded, by you.
Thanks s.b. for your honest story about how you came to universal medicine, I love that you make it so clear that there is no real group. But only people who found that making loving choices brings us back to who we are.
Yes I love this too. It’s all about love and self responsibility.
I feel inspired by your blog and how you were able to find back to your loveliness, take responsibility for your health and feel joy in your stillness.
SB I have tears in my eyes so I am deeply moved by your sharing.
“I have found the ‘wisdom of the ages’ in action.
At last I have come back to myself, which is where I was always supposed to be.
This is home.”
Thank you S.B that was a great blog and one that I’m more then happy to share. It has ignited the possibility that everyday is a new chance for another to feel the truth of what Universal Medicine presents.
Thank you SB, I love how you have described your journey back to yourself as being simple and natural, as indeed it can be. I too have felt a strong sense of coming home through the presentations of Universal Medicine, coming back to what I have always known inside.
Beautifully said, Ryoko. The reflection of living simply and lovingly like this is universal medicine.
SB, you have described the beauty of self-love so beautifully. It is for us first and then for all others. Your daughter brought self-love into her life and shared that with you in how she was choosing to make self-loving changes in her life. This you noticed and decided to investigate for yourself. And you found the healing power of self-love for yourself. I have found self-love to be universal as it is possible for everyone to be self-loving therefore leaving no one less or without the same opportunity.
It is so true how we become defensive about changes in our loved ones even though we can see the positive effect it is having. It is beautiful how you were inspired by the gentle loving way she was living, her new self-confidence and self-esteem to find out more and I am sure you are now an inspiration yourself.
I agree Ryoko, it requires no words, no convincing, no converting, it is just the simple gentle loving way of another living who they are in life. It is the livingness indeed and as you say – it is there within us all.
I love your final three words ‘This is home’. Says it all.
Wow this is so beautiful S.B, thank you for sharing your story, i loved reading, ‘ I express love through attempting to make my every action gentle’, very practical and inspiring.
