I was pondering lately what my life would be like now if it hadn’t been for a seemingly random chain of events that brought me to Australia, then on to Brisbane… and by some quirk of fate sitting wondering what the heck I was doing at a workshop held by a man named Serge Benhayon.
Up until this point in my life I was an outright cynic of anything remotely religious, New Age, non-scientific or totally mainstream; even a trip to a chiropractor or a massage therapist was way out there for me. So imagine my surprise when I started to be all consumed with finding my purpose and needing to find myself, so to speak.
So there I was sitting in this hall on a hill perched over Byron Bay feeling terrified, panicked and sick to my stomach, questioning my sanity and wondering how on Earth I had got here. But contrary to what I was expecting – as I thought the workshop was going to be a lot of Om-ing, tree hugging and possibly yoghurt weaving – it ended up being a pivotal moment in my life that I consider to be a true turning point.
This man, in a few words and some gentle breaths, opened up my eyes to everything I had been searching for in my life, and more.
What he presented and what I felt in the very core of my heart could irrefutably not be denied, even though my mind was screaming, desperately trying to hold on to its configured way of being that it had been setting in place for 34 years to have dominion over me and my body.
Since then, even though my life has had its challenges and issues to face, I have never really looked back as my physical and emotional wellbeing and the quality of my life has gone from good to great, to ‘pinch me now’ it is so incredible I can’t believe its true status.
Now I must give myself some credit here and make something very clear. Serge Benhayon did not come and save me, give me enlightenment or a magic pill to swallow that suddenly blissed me out and made everything better.
No, what he did was allow me to realise that I had made and could make choices; that I needed to be responsible for my thoughts and actions; that I had a body that needed to be treated gently and taken care of; that I had issues and unresolved hurts that I had not dealt with which were shaping everything in my life from my behaviours, perceptions, and relationships, to in fact every interaction in my life.
So with that understanding I decided to heal my past, to move forward in a way that is more loving and open and not be afraid to allow myself to feel, to be sensitive and aware of everything around me, even the subtlest of energy. I took responsibility for how I was and what I had become but I never lost sight of the fact that I had been able to connect to, in my heart, the fact that I come from God and am therefore divine, filled with love and an intelligence that goes far beyond our human realm.
So I can’t help wonder where I’d be now without the stars aligning the way they did: burnt out, given up, depressed, shut down, withdrawn, angry at the world, probably ill with thyroid issues or diabetes (most likely both), arthritic knees from pushing my body too hard and constant back and neck pain or even cancer.
You may think I’m being melodramatic but I think not, as when I first met Serge I had all the warning signs of what was ahead of me if I didn’t change my lifestyle and deal with my stuff instead of finger pointing, blaming and being a victim of circumstances that I thought were out of my control.
So I say, thank God for Serge Benhayon and thank God to me, for despite all my misgivings, having said yes to being in the right place at the right time.

Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine – Changing a Culture of Blame
Inspired by Serge Benhayon & Universal Medicine: Feeling the True Me
The Truth about Universal Medicine 
Through the teachings and workshops of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine I am learning what it is like to live with true family that is not based on dominance of one over another, not based on not being able to express because children should be seen and not heard, that children don’t count until they become adults and then they join the ranks within a pecking order of society depending if you have a degree and what type it is is. In other words we have so many ideals and beliefs of what a family should be like, look like but we actually live so far away from true family and I can say this because I have experience of true family. Where what you have to say is heard and considered, that everyone works together to get the work done that need to be completed, that everyone is valued for what they bring to the family no matter how small the contribution. There is so much love that is felt and shared. I feel very blessed to feel what it is to be living in a true way and this is a result of everything that has been presented by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
Re-imprinting our lives as Students of The Livingness, is such a blessing, so thank you God. I appreciate with a Deep-humble-appreciate-ive-ness the True family that we can all live with. Humble being reconnecting to our Soul-full-ness, and as we deepen in those things that we have as a Soul-full foundation, our appreciation comes with a true authority and confirmation of our connection, thus giving us True purpose in life. So True appreciation comes with the understanding that what we have in life comes from the most divine source or God.
Universal Medicine is an organisation which has supported life changes in thousands of people. To see a group of people who tirelessly work day in and day out for the benefit of society is inspiring. Growing up I learned to surround myself with people who inspire growth, people who pull you up to be yourself & I have found that in the people who attend Universal Medicine Courses.
Loving pull-ups are so welcome!
When I found myself agreeing to attend a presentation by Serge Benhayon I too questioned what I was doing there. I was 56 living, so I thought, a very comfortable life. What needed to change? I soon realised that just about everything was in for a change as Serge Benhayon opened my eyes, ears and heart to a true way of living.
It is amazing how we choose to see life, our lenses dictate how we perceive thing & only when we get a true reflection of something divine can we question whether what we see is actually correct.
I know for sure my life would be a wreck by now if it weren’t for meeting Serge Benhayon. If it carried on the same trajectory that it was it would be pretty grim. But now I look at where I am now and if this connection and love that I live with grows over the next 10, 20+ years awesome.
‘Thank God for Serge Benhayon’ this sentiment is echoed by many students of The Way of The Livingness. How is it possible to change not only our lives beyond measure, but our health also – the proof is in the body and the results speak for themselves.
It needs no proof, it is all in the knowing.
Saying Yes to Serge Benhayon is saying Yes to what Serge brings through from heaven.
It is saying Yes to true love which is equally in ourselves.
To contemplate my life if I had not met Serge Benhayon is to choose to have a nightmare.
When we are given an illness or in this case a constellation that is a pivotal moment in our life we are ready. We may have emotions, beliefs, hurts and pictures that are running through our body but this is just energy to let go of and heal that we are choosing to get in the way.
I have to say, yes you are right Rachel, for I equally know many, many people, including my very own self, that would be at a very different point in their lives if they would have not come across Serge Benhayon, or any of the teachings of Universal Medicine. I am forever thank-full that I have met Serge Benhayon, who inspired me that the love I was searching for outside of me, was inside of me all along. Seeing him move from this love was the inspiration.
“This man, in a few words and some gentle breaths, opened up my eyes to everything I had been searching for in my life, and more.” For me too Rachel thank God for Serge Benhayon, for if I had not met him or attended Universal medicine presentations I would be now on the downhill road totally disillusioned with life, given up, loveless, functioning without joy or purpose in life, waiting for old age and what ever illnesses that might come my way, knowing this is not how life should be but not knowing any other way, or how to change it. It sounds bleak but this is what many of us accept in life until we make different loving supportive choices.
Serge Benhayon offers true inspiration. What we do with it, how much we apply to our own life, is entirely up to each of us. He does everything yet he does nothing. And this is a relationship that I find totally fascinating and very different from everything I have experienced before. I cannot appreciate Serge enough without appreciating myself equally.
There starts to be movement in our lives when we heal our hurts and keep on going to live in the power of who we are, divine beings. How different it feels finger pointing, blaming and considering oneself as a victim , there is no (true) movement there.
We are divine beings, ‘the fact that I come from God and am therefore divine, filled with love and an intelligence that goes far beyond our human realm.’
“What he presented and what I felt in the very core of my heart could irrefutably not be denied, even though my mind was screaming, desperately trying to hold on to its configured way of being that it had been setting in place for 34 years to have dominion over me and my body.”
Instead of 34 years it was 55 in my case and there was great resistance, yet at the same time with every question I had, Serge had an answer that always confirmed what my heart felt and my mind could not deny and which made me question further. For all the challenges it has been worth it for,
“Since then, even though my life has had its challenges and issues to face, I have never really looked back, as my physical and emotional well-being and the quality of my life has gone from good to great to ‘pinch me now’ it is so incredible I can’t believe its true status.”
Thank God indeed for Serge Benhayon
I love reading stories like your Rachel, you are living proof that healing our hurts can bring true and lasting change to our lives.
“I never lost sight of the fact that I had been able to connect to, in my heart, the fact that I come from God and am therefore divine, filled with love and an intelligence that goes far beyond our human realm.” it feels all to easy to get caught up in the humanness of life and forget that we are multi-dimensional beings, returning to who we truly are in our innermost – our essence.
We are already unwell before we get the diagnosis of an illness such as diabetes. We may be burnt out, overweight, racy and driven in our behaviours, withdrawn, unable to sleep well, etc, these are all part of the signs we are not well, however these warning signs can be so pervasive we don’t consider these things abnormal. Most people are so exhausted they need coffee to get them through the day. That itself shows the pressure we place our bodies under, with exhaustion a likely contributor for other more serious health issues. What I have found in Serge’s work via Universal Medicine is I’ve become much more aware of my body and responding to its needs. This has been truly life changing as it’s contributed to my vitality increasing by consistently taking much better care of myself. It’s practical and easy – listen to your body and honour it. My doctor is also impressed and tells me to “keep doing what you’re doing”.
Our body is indeed ‘the marker of all truth’, but how many of us seriously listen to its subtle messages? Then, when we don’t, we get the big one – the heart attack, the cancer etc and wonder ‘why me’?
It actually is mad when you think about it that this world is set up to make us not be who we truly, naturally, beautifully are. No the world has not consciously been made to be this way but indeed most of us have in some way been invested in the issues, dramas and inconsistencies of this world. The only way to move on from this is to renounce ever thread of creation we have invested in.
It is a crazy world we live in, whereby who we truly are is buried out of perception.
Serge definitely reminds us all that we have choices, and everything is because of energy, and the more we understand that we start to realise the impact certain things have on us. My life now feels more complete and joyful, and I know there is so much more for me to realign too, and I will be for ever grateful that I came across Serge Benhayon.
Rachel, I agree we are dominated by a configured way of being that is not us and is crushing who we naturally are since we were children. I had no idea of this at all and just felt that life was what it was and we had to get through it as best we could, I hated this way of ‘dead end’ living as I called it, but there didn’t seem to be another choice.
Meeting Serge Benhayon changed everything for me and I know he has this effect on thousands of people, he is like a breath of fresh air in a stagnant room. He has presented another way to be, another choice and like so many other people, I have made the choice to change my life and it is a miracle how it is now unfolding and I will not go back to my old way of living that has dominated me for most of my life.
Yes, bringing that choice from a lived experience and not from intellectual theorising and knowledge as Serge Benhayon does, is what makes it so inspiring.
Serge Benhayon presents another way to live, a way that makes so much sense.
Love how you don’t hold back expressing your appreciation here both for the deep and true inspiration Serge Benhayon offers and for your choice to connect more deeply with yourself as a result of that inspiration. Like you share, it’s not that you’re saying he came along and fixed everything for you, but actually helped you reconnect with and honour more of yourself, something that you yourself decided to then develop in your life.
Those that were searching connect immediately with Serge Benhayon and what he presents. Those who were not searching, connect in different ways. It may not be his words, but there is something very powerful that can be felt as coming home again.
Not at all melodramatic Rachel I feel the same maybe not burnt out because I had already given up and gone into making my life as comfortable as possible, but certainly with no joy and an acceptance of the amazing life I have. I know I would be living with constant back pain that had probably by now manifested itself into a more permanent problem yet I am almost pain free, and this is a wonderment in itself as most of humanity as they age are suffering from pain that is debilitating their lives to some capacity.
I echo your appreciation – thank God for Serge Benhayon, because of him I know who I am and I’m learning about commitment, purpose and what it really means to be a human and understand that life is an incredible opportunity. It’s difficult to fathom where I’d be now without his inspiration, but a few points are clear – I’d still feel like an eternal child, lost, aimless, uncommitted and with no deep regard for other people.
Yes, thank God for Serge Benhayon, and then thank Serge and all of his family.
It’s great to reflect on this question Rachel. Personally, my life is a bit of a work in progress and I have a lot of areas I need to focus on but it is still a million times more amazing than the life I lived prior to finding my way to Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon. If I had not made the choice to take responsibility for my own life and choices I know my body and life would be in a very sorry state and my anxiousness and sadness would be through the roof.
“Serge Benhayon did not come and save me, give me enlightenment or a magic pill to swallow that suddenly blissed me out and made everything better” – I could not agree with you more. The responsibility of our healing lies within us all and no other person. When we hand it to someone else, then we become disempowered and labelled as being owned by them. Serge presents the truth and the rest is up to us as to how far we take it with no pressure placed upon us, but if there is a golden key message then I can say is the ‘responsibility’ for every action.
Yes, it is always up to us at the end of the day, ‘So I say, thank God for Serge Benhayon and thank God to me, for despite all my misgivings, having said yes to being in the right place at the right time.’
The events of the lives of many people who will testify to the inspiration for change, the role model for consistency, the unencumbered love that Serge Benhayon is, demonstrate the power of the works of Serge Benhayon. They are beyond this world.
“This man, in a few words and some gentle breaths, opened up my eyes to everything I had been searching for in my life, and more.” And that more consistently asks me to take responsibility to be more of who I am.
Thank you Rachel ! You have reminded me of my own journey through the New Age fluffy books and meditations that I waded through before I came to meet Serge Benhayon through as friend, and finally came home.
“what he did was allow me to realise that I had made and could make choices; that I needed to be responsible for my thoughts and actions; that I had a body that needed to be treated gently and taken care of” you go on to talk about the protections we put in place to guard against being hurt, really what he has shared with us to discover about and for ourselves, is such a simple template. So logical really, it is a wonder it is not our normal.
A beautiful appreciation of Serge Benhayon and all that he brings Rachel! Life for me (and the world) would be untenable without the love and power that this man shares as he lives his life – a life of healing, joy, expansion and love for all. I certainly would not have been able to go on and would have been trapped in a life that was one big demise. thank you Serge Benhayon.
Wow! It’s a ‘heavy’ life we live without understanding the principles and sciences of energy and the universe. Even when we are aware its of utmost importance we know the difference and subtles of the energies otherwise we are in a deeper illusion. Even the knowledge of the esoteric can be the greatest illusion if not lived in the responsibility of evolution – to lift ourselves out of the form of investments of a ‘better’ life. Thank God for Serge Benhayon and all that he lives calling us to be more and more to not be stuck with ‘that’s it!’.
Serge Benhayon supports us all in evolving back to who we are in truth, ‘that I needed to be responsible for my thoughts and actions; that I had a body that needed to be treated gently and taken care of’.
Rachel Hall that is one cracker of a blog. So real with no bells or whistles, just truth and how it is. Serge Benhayon is a man that never stops offering evolution, it is our choice to say yes or no to what’s on offer.
The Ageless Wisdom teachings as presented by Serge Benhayon are utterly simple, very straightforward and immensely practical; no yoghurt weaving or gobbledegook in sight anywhere. Instead it is about realising that we make choices all of the time and that the only way to effect change is to start taking responsibility.
I agree, the Ageless Wisdom teachings as presented through Serge Benhayon are practical and down to earth. They apply to every facet of life, no part of life is considered less, and no special practices are needed (like hours of meditation). The Ageless Wisdom is available equally to all, and it’s easy to understand.
What a great choice Rachel, I absolutely agree the inspiration Serge continually offers is limitless. I had a good laugh trying to imagine yogurt weaving ….
‘I took responsibility for how I was and what I had become but I never lost sight of the fact that I had been able to connect to, in my heart, the fact that I come from God and am therefore divine, filled with love and an intelligence that goes far beyond our human realm.’ A beautiful reminder Rachel that we are never lost and always have the choice to connect back to our essence, to the divine.
“This man, in a few words and some gentle breaths, opened up my eyes to everything I had been searching for in my life, and more.” – the greatest gift in this world…
Hear, hear Rachel, and thank God for Serge Benhayon is exactly my feeling as well. Meeting Serge Benhayon has transformed my life in so many ways I hate to think where I would be now if I hadn’t made the choice to see him and be open to the deep love and truth that he consistently shares with everyone.
Yes thank God for his unwavering Love that let’s us make our choices as we like but will never let us behind or give up on us, always there whenever we are ready to make different choices again.
Through the presentations of Serge Benhayon I came to realise how in every moment we are making choices that directly shape the quality of life we live. No-one else can make the choice for you, this is not possible. This realisation was life changing for me. Yes a little confronting at first, in being honest about what it was that I had been choosing, but ultimately empowering as I developed more and more awareness of how the choices I was making directly affected my quality of life, my body and all relationships. As such, in developing a loving relationship with my essence within, which continues to this day, I now have a marker as to whether the choices I make honor this love within, or not, all of which is instantly reflected though our bodies. I simply need to be open to listening.
Images fed by the New Spiritual Age are a killer. They stop so many embracing what is true because of how sickening they are and feel.
Indeed a big thank god for Serge Benhayon for sticking out in being who he is and standing for it – serving others.
I too wonder what my life would be like now if I had not met Serge Benhayon. I feel it would be a slow deterioration of my health and a loss of vitality of life and purpose as I slowly gave up and settled for a comfortable way of living. This comfortable way of living that would bring about various illnesses and disease and possibly cancer. As you say Rachel it sounds a bit melodramatic but I could feel there was something not true about my life but did not know what it was. What I love is when we start to ask questions the stars constellate to head us in the right direction. From the year 2000 my life started to change as I began to be constellated towards meeting Serge in 2003 and I have not looked back since.
I shudder when I consider what my life would have been like. I probably could justify what it was like, or make out that things happen, but I know it would be radically different to what I am actually living and am deeply appreciative of that in every moment.
Definitely. Thank God for Serge Banhayon for showing us that we have a choice, and thank God for Rachel Hall for choosing responsibility to show us how it is done. You are incredible.
Yes Fumiyo – absolutely agree on both counts. I am constantly inspired by the degree of truth and love that Serge Benhayon lives and shares with us, as I am by the way Rachel Hall lives and expresses the love and truth of who she now knows she is, with no holds barred.
Thank you Serge Benhayon for being the inspiring Light and so much more, and thank you to Rachel for saying yes to evolving and returning to Soul.
Thank you, Rachel, for sharing your life changing constellations with Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. Like you I am seeing some amazing changes in my life and I realise had I not come in contact with Serge and Universal Medicine I am sure I would have been on the way to Dementia having lived a life shut down from the world. How blessed we are to have the choice to truly live again.
Life is not about “better” and that what you so clearly and beautifully bring home in this blog. It is about facing your stuff and working through it to the best of you ability. Universal Medicine supports people all around the world with this process and what we see time and time again is amazing powerhouses stepping into themselves and then they begin the process again, as they then support others in the same way as they were supported.
Spot on Sarah, Serge Benhayon is such an inspirer – he inspires and activates so many people, and with that each person has the capacity to do likewise and inspire many others. Just like you do Sarah with all your wonderful ways!
