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 
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”.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!’.
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, 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!
Indeed; ‘Thank God for Serge Benhayon for turning my world upside-down and inside out!
I think we’d all agree with this Rachel- amazing the inspiration that one man has shown to so many. Absolute blessing having Serge Benhayon in my life.
Rachel I can agree with what you share, my life has changed from better to better and constantly changing, I have more energy, vitality and vibrancy. There is a bounce in my feet and a lightness in my body. Whereas if I had not, my thyroid, depression, endometriosis would have got worse and I was heading for signs of critical illness, being burnt out.
Rachel, I do not feel you are bring melodramatic at all. I know for me I dread to think where I would be without having met Serge Benhayon – indeed whether I would still be alive is a very apt question. Something I love about Serge and the way he presents is he takes the seemingly impossible and makes it so practical, simple and real so we can all understand it and make the same steps he and many others have done towards the light of their soul.
Thankyou Rachel, you very clearly shared the deeper understanding, care and responsibility for self so many step into after being inspired by the work of Serge Benhayon. This was a great line also “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.” I have recently come to this understanding at a deeper level within my own life, hurts can be lived with and managed a certain way for so long that life feels normal this way, but the essence of who we are is untouched by these hurts – surprising as it seems, and from the inside out by being connected to my essence a way of living free of hurts is unfolding.
I can wholeheartedly agree with this statement Rachel. On attending my first ever presentation with Serge Benhayon in 2008, the years of searching were no more and the work of re-connecting home to my essence began in joy.
“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 you have so beautifully described here Rachel is how there is no coercion in the presentations of Serge Benhayon: ‘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;’
The Ageless Wisdom has nothing to do with the spiritual New Age or ‘yoghurt weaving’ as you have made clear. The latter are paths that sensitive people who know that there is more to life than the physical have chosen, which have actually gone off track to lead to what appears to be a safe haven but is in fact a cul-de-sac. The key and core to Serge’s teaching is simplicity, and this is why it can upset a complicated and ailing world out there.
A beautiful testimony to Serge Benhayon. I too shudder to think what my life would have become without attending Universal Medicine presentations – and then making life-style changes. “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.” Yes, yes.
Yes love is who we are yet we let the flame of love get stifled by the outside world and what is coming at us. Thank God for Serge Benhayon who keeps reminding us of theTruth of Love and the Light of the All that is.
Yes Elaine, and Serge reminds us of the power of our soulful love and light, and that it can be in the world expressing its love, joy and truth, and remain untouched.
There isn’t and never will be a magic pill that can suddenly make life better, but by being open to addressing and letting go of our unresolved hurts and steadily committing to our own healing journey, our lives can literally come alive.
Deep down we are all love, we know it so well even if we have gone off the rails long time ago! so to feel it, recognise it and be open to reignite it within ourselves needs to be celebrated as we once again are walking as sons of God.
I second that Rachel, thank God for Serge Benhayon as I have now been able to reconnect to the truth and love within myself and to know the power of God is in me and that I have a responsibility to reflect and inspire others by the quality of my movements, to be who they truly are.
Absolutely Rachel. Thank God for Serge Benhayon! We all have a different story in our lead-up to meeting this extraordinary man who lives love and truth. But we all feel totally transformed and hugely more our real selves after meeting him – he who leaves us free to choose, and knowing that there is a choice.
That’s right Rachel, it was saying yes to being there in the first place that showed what you were choosing next because there are plenty of alternative therapies, modalities and groups out there that you could have continued to slumber in and never truly know again who you are in essence. Something to deeply appreciate… which you do so well!
“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.” Serge does not save anyone but he does open all the doors and shows the way for everyone to ‘save’ themselves, if they so choose to.
When I attended my first Universal Medicine workshop I felt as if I had been reminded where I had hidden the key to me for safe-keeping but then forgotten where I’d put it! It was still up to me to pick it up and use it, but in being reminded where I’d put it helped me to see that I no longer had to go searching for it because I knew where it was.
I love this analogy Lucy, it all comes down to choice, you could have been reminded where they key was and then dismissed it and continued to let it be hidden for another so many years or lifetimes… but you didn’t… and even if you did there is no judgement ever because it is up to us and we are constantly being supported to know who we are.
If there were ever keys to life these would be in the top 5, “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.” How much are you truly ‘in control’ of what is going on around you or do you see yourself as a victim of circumstances. If things aren’t going well and you don’t bring any awareness to the things mentioned above then you are sure to go around in circles again. We don’t have to live like this in fact it’s not true at all. There are sayings all through our history, like ‘the world is what you make it’ that ring true here. If you are sick and tired of your steps you are taking then it’s time to move and step differently, it’s a choice.
Yes I certainly thank God for Serge Benhayon – my life has been truly blessed by meeting Serge and in that meeting, I met myself and reconnected to God – so I can indeed thank God!
Such an insightful account of how simple it all is when we allow it. And not making Serge Benhayon the messiah, but appreciating yourself to be open enough to receive what Serge presents, which is basically, and in a nutshell, that you deserve and are worthy of taking care of yourself. No magic potion needed.
Serge Benhayon offers us all the key to making changes in the way we are choosing to live and demonstrates how we can all re-connect to our own divinity and thus the wisdom that is within us all. We don’t need to be saved because we have all the answers we need if we are only open to receiving them. The humility and lack of judgement with which he presents is an amazing reflection of just how possible it is for anyone to turn their life around at any stage if they are willing to let go of the ideals and beliefs that have held them captive for so long. Feeling blessed for all the opportunities that have unfolded since my initial decision to attend a Universal Medicine presentation and start making loving changes.
Glorious celebration of the constellation that led to you meeting Serge Benhayon and appreciation not only for what you were selflessly offered but also for how you have embraced it so whole heartedly.
I totally agree with you, Rachel, on all counts. I too sometimes find it incredible that I have ended up finding Universal Medicine, and for me to be sticking around as a student for as long as I have, and will do so as long as my breath keeps going. ‘Life’ bears a completely different meaning before and after Universal Medicine and that is totally priceless.
I love reading your blog again Rachel, the way you express is so open and honest with a great sense of humour. I too thank God for Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine students like you who are living and reflecting a true way of living. One that is encompassing love, truth and joy to us all. The points you’ve shared about how your life is now and how it may have been if you had not met Serge Benhayon is very similar to mine.
I remember feeling quite confronted by the presentation that we are responsible for our own thoughts and actions – and can change them. Confronted because it made me realise how I’d chosen to be a victim of life, of ‘other people’s stuff’ and of my own hurts, instead of taking responsibility for my own part in situations and how my life is today. The more aware I become of how I live my life, and how these choices are reflected back to me through my body, general quality of life and relationships, the more inspired I am to take responsibility for my thoughts, actions, and movements.
This is a really gorgeous story Rachel and I absolutely love the playful, honest and downright hilarious way that you express. It is obvious that Serge Benhayon is no guru or ‘life saver’ simply a (truly incredible) man that supports others to choose a way of life that enables them to be shining lights in the world and a blessing to others just as he is.
Serge Benhayon’s reflection of love is the epitome of who we are and it is simply through our own choice that we can connect and align to that which is of truth within ourselves.
Great comment Francisco, I absolutely agree. Serge Benhayon’s reflection is consistently of love, reminding us that we are too, all loving sons of God and absolutely divine.
I too thank God for Serge Benhayon with all my heart. I also thank Serge Benhayon for the choices he has made to connect to and express the Divinity that we ALL carry within and provide a reflection of another way – a way back to our pure essence.
Important point you make here Rachael is that Serge Benhayon did not save you, as it was your choice to stay and listen, then put some of what he was presenting into action. How many of us want someone else to save us, as if it is their responsibility and not ours – I know I did.
Yes, indeed Rachael – agreed in full. Every day I appreciate to no end the life I have now come to live through meeting Serge Benhayon. Being presented with the possibility we all already know what is true, we need only to choose it, has re-awakened in me the will to be open to explore living from what I know and feel is true. We all do know truth, for truth can never leave us, it is who we are in essence. When we are willing to be honest with ourselves of how we are living we then begin to realise that it is only us that chooses to walk away from the truth that resides within us always, and that we are constantly making choices. So what it is that we choose and why? When we are connected to our inner-most quality within, our Soul, we are guided to make choices from the truth of who we are within. For in the heart of who we are, we are one and the same as the essence of God, where our divine intelligence in not only universal but is also timeless.
You could also say Thank Serge Benhayon for God in that through meeting with Serge I reconnected with God and that is the greatest gift you can give to anyone. You can find a beautiful set of audio and quotes on God at Unimedpedia God here: http://www.unimedliving.com/unimedpedia/word-index/unimedpedia-god.html
Thank God for Serge Benhayon, absolutely Rachel. When I think of what this man has done for humanity, and what has been sacrificed by him to turn up for aeons to help us to see and feel our way out of this incredible mess that has been created, tears come to my eyes. No greater Love.
I absolutely agree Rachel, thank God for Serge Benhayon. For his presenting to us the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom and for his true inspiration and love for all equally. Words are hard to find when expressing my appreciation to Serge Benhayon.
“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.” Beautiful Rachel. So many of us have chosen to open our hearts after listening to Serge Benhayon, an as yet unrecognised world teacher. I add my deep appreciation for this amazing loving man who has shown many of us The Way – by living it himself.
Thank you Rachel for expressing your deep appreciation for Serge Benhayon and all that he has presented that has supported many of us to transform our lives in extraordinary ways.
What a great choice you made that day Rachel, a choice to come back to you and embrace the love that you are. I too feel blessed to have met Serge Benhayon, for without embracing the truth that was presented I would no doubt be on my way to dementia or cancer, having lived most of my life shut down.
A perfect constellation for you, Rachel and you said yes!
The ancient wisdom as presented by Serge Benhayon teaches us simply that everything in life is a choice – a choice to the energy we align and express from. So we either choose to indulge and disregard and suffer the consequences or we take responsibility and make lifestyle adjustments that honour us and therein supporting our bodies and others to be our true selves.
Before changing my life around, I had chronic back pain, yearly bouts of bronchitis, low energy, and was hardened to people and to life. 8 years later, and nothing in that description has a place in my life anymore.
I too experienced on meeting Serge Benhayon everything I had been searching for my entire life and way, way more than I even knew was possible. What makes that so liberating is that through the reflection of Serge, I found it all within myself. What makes it so joyful is to discover thousands of others having the same experience and to discover that we are all one at source and deeply connected. Thank God for Serge Benhayon and thank Serge Benhayon for the reflection and inspiration that allowed me to reconnect to God.
Yes, thank God for Serge Benhayon. There are many of us that would stand and say this undeniable fact over and over again. So I’ll say it again, thank God for Serge Benhayon, the man who shows us what true love is and how we can live this love with our every breath.
Serge Benhayon is always gentle, humble, and loving, I had never met anyone like him before, from the first time I heard him speak, he made so much sense with everything about life, and the way we currently live didn’t seem to make any sense at all.
We may not really know what we are looking for, or even that we are looking for something, but when we meet Serge Benhayon, we find it, we hit home again.
Such a beautiful blog explaining the simplicity of the work of Serge Benhayon and giving credit where it is due. You did it yourself Rachael by your choices and the world is richer for it. I can say the same goes for me too.
The ever deepening understanding, acceptance and appreciation of myself and my life is priceless. The love and gratitude I have for Serge Benhayon is beyond words; forever true, solid and truly loving.
It is sad that we so often settle for a little bit better than rubbish, a smidge above average or a step up from suspect, when we can know breath and live awesomeness everday. Thank you Rachel for being a living example of this like Serge Benhayon and sharing it here in such an open way.
Saying yes to truth, to love, to light is something to be deeply appreciated.
I can say the same “Thank God for Serge Benhayon” I have seen so many people turn their lives around embracing more responsibility and a greater commitment to life, changing over the years to more clear, purposeful and powerful human beings. Serge supports us to reconnect to that part of ourselves that we have been ignoring and yet know is truly us.
Some people got from Serge Benhayon all the answers they had been searching for all their lives. Through him too, other people who did not have major questions about life, got teachings that have allowed them to register how the particles of the body align, operate, and are felt when we are in the presence of Truth and the grandness we belong too. Yes, thanks God for sending Serge Benhayon; the World Teacher.
Re-reading this blog Rachel I am reminded too that my life was on such a trajectory of slow self-destruct that I wouldn’t even like to contemplate what my health, relationships, working ability or situation in life might be. I do know for certain none of those things would be looking good… a far cry from where I find myself now with the same influences you speak of. Thank God for Serge Benhayon is spot on the money!
Healing and dealing with our hurts is certainly the key to living an open loving life. As you say Rachel thank God for Serge Benhayon and his inspirational divine teachings of the Ageless Wisdom.
“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.” I too had this same realisation when I – reluctantly – attended my first presentation by Serge Benhayon and I hadn’t even realised that I was searching but I knew I had found the key to understanding me, life and the Universe.
Serge Benhayon truly is empowering – supporting so many people to take responsibility for their way of living, which has lead to profound changes in health and wellbeing. I know this is certainly true for myself too and can say without a doubt thank God for Serge Benhayon!
A remarkable example of a true turning point in life Rachel, and one you rarely hear about unless it was a result of a life-threatening experience.
As I reflect on my life I can see how many times I was actually led by my Soul to make choices to be somewhere, do something, meet someone, make changes in my life, or avoid dangerous situations, not always really understanding in full with my mind why, but I allowed myself to guided all the same. But imagine living with this guidance consistently, in connection to our bodies that know loud and clear what is true and what is not, even when our minds scream otherwise? Through the way Serge Benhayon lives, he presents how not only this is possible but that it is a choice, and in fact that living in connection to our Soul is our true and natural way of being.
Absolutely thank God for Serge Benhayon, the most humble tender man I have ever meet which is so wise and all knowing and sharing everything he has with whom ever he is with. The devotion and love for humanity Serge has is breath taking and it is an Absolute Blessing having Serge in my life too.
Great blog Rachel and so beautiful to read that you never lost touch with the fact that; “I come from God and am therefore divine, filled with love and an intelligence that goes far beyond our human realm”.
“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.” I can completely relate to this, I was a walking time bomb, if I did not start to take responsibility of myself in a loving way, I would not want to image where I would be now. Serge Benhayon came into my life at the right time, his loving reflection inspired me to change my life and my choices.
Indeed Rachel, one of the greatest gifts Serge Benhayon has given me is that in each and every moment I have a choice – there is no one else to blame – it is amazingly freeing knowing this.
Serge Benhayon presents the simple truths of life, ones that are fundamental to our health and wellbeing but so often neglected in daily life. He presents them in a way that is very relatable and accessible because he is committed to living with genuine responsibility himself, never just offering words, but the real lived quality of them.
It’s funny that we all grow up knowing we can make choices but are never really taught the power of making choices in consideration of being responsible and honouring of oneself and others. The magnitude of this revelation has been transformational beyond words to my level of health and overall well being as well, for which I am also deeply grateful, for I dread to think where I would be now if I’d stayed on the reckless path I was on before UM.
I love this heart-felt blog and the power of your writing about Serge Benhayon Rachel. You have made it so clear that Serge’e role is to facilitate the ‘fact’ of that ageless wisdom and good common sense that each one of us without exception has within us, but have buried. And you have described to a ‘T’ the two ‘sources’ of knowing and being – the destructive one and the divine, helping one: ‘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.’
Rachel you write with such authority and from your own deep well of it. This is a great summation of what you can learn / see from attending a Universal Medicine presentation – “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.” Once these doors open, life will never be the same again (and in a good way!).
Thanks Rachel, a great reminder this morning of the power of making choices as well as being one’s best friend along the way.
Incredible blog Rachel, from many angles. As per above it shows that once we are shown truth – we are able , by the giving tools, to make a choice from our free will to change. And so hearing this story makes absolute sense , like it has in my own life and that from many more who had come to Universal Medicine on the right time at the right place. Indeed , Thank God for Serge Benhayon and equally our true selves that had chosen this way. To be the one – which is equal to our Soul.
It is interesting this being in the right place at the right time – trusting what we feel to guide us to exactly where we need to be and finding that, once we are there, there is an opportunity for evolution that we can choose to take or ignore – it is always a choice in every moment.
“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.” Love it Rachel, such a clear testimony of all what he brings – a clear path to self-responsibility!
Hear hear, thank god for Serge Benhayon, there is so much to be thankful for where this man is concerned. He is someone who hands down, has begun to turn around humanity, how we live, explaining what it means to live with energetic integrity and responsibility. Amazing, life changing, transformational.
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 true turning point Rachel and I love how you are unwavering and an awesome inspiration and reflection for all to see!
Firstly Yoghurt weaving… I gotta see that!! love it. Secondly, the absolute power of being given enough insight to be left with true choice is indeed a gift that is beyond real measure. Of course, it is our choice to listen to the insight offered, which is what makes the whole ‘cult’ accusation such a farce.
I was not on any spiritual quest when I arrived at my first Universal Medicine event nor was I thinking that my life would change, I was defiantly a right mess and was curious to say the least. Like you Rachel, I thought it would be some tree loving, hair braiding circle that I would later laugh with my friends about.
One thing was for sure Serge Benhayon was no spiritual leader but I noticed that he did not hold back from calling things how he saw them and exposed what spiritual gurus and organised religious leaders were up to, he was a straight shooter, bold and normal. I noticed he wasn’t wearing weird clothes nor was he flashy and there were lots of professionals attending like yourself but also different people from all walks of life. I have never looked back since my first attendance some 12 years ago. I managed to completely reinvent myself after become a student of Universal Medicine (which is basically becoming a student of life, the universe and myself) I was on a destructive path or drugs alcohol and a string of bad relationships, unhealthy and unhappy.
I now literally love life, love work and am very healthy, thank god for Serge Benhayon is right, what a modern day Legend, brave unassuming dude, who’s purpose is to present the truth so people like you Rachel can choose to be the powerhouse you are, representing truth and light on earth.
Saying yes (despite how much disregard we have lived) to be in the right place at the right time for true evolution is magical. This is lovely to here ‘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.’ and I know this is the same for many other people that have met and know Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, including myself. As you so rightly say this is not giving power over to another or being ‘fixed’ by another but Serge puts things so simply and clearly shining a light and holding the truth that others get to feel and reconnect to the truth in their bodies, allowing everything that is not true, unloving and disregarding to easily fall away. But yes it is an individual’s choice to choose this for themselves. I was the opposite to you in that I would go to anything with the word ‘healing’ in it but as nothing truly shifted in my life and it felt like I was going around the same circle over and over again pretending things were ‘better’ or ‘different’ I became very despondent with it all, including life itself. The Sacred Esoteric Healing modalities taught by Serge Benhayon are the only thing that has truly help to clear and lift tons of buried hurts, beliefs, sadness, anger etc out if my body in order for me to start to live and feel in a way I have never done before, and this is only the beginning. There is no end to Love it is continuous. I also love what you have shared here it is very healing to read ‘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.’ Many many times I have felt Thank Goodness for Serge Benhayon as he has helped and supported me and thousands of others to no end. It is an absolute blessing to know him and have him as part of my life.
If I had not met Serge Benhayon for sure I would not be in such a loving relationship as I am now in with my husband, in fact we may not even be together. What we have seen from Serge and Miranda Benhayon and the way they live love 24/7 has inspired us to go deeper in our love for one and other. Everyday feels like a miracle and I know this would not be case if I had never met Serge Benhayon, who to me is today’s world teacher.
When we start to realise we are totally responsible for all of our thoughts, actions and reactions, we start to question why our days and experiences unfold as they do, what we can learn from them, and how we can resolve and let go of them.
I agree Rachel, it is actually our unresolved hurts that shape and control our everyday life and shadow all our behaviours, perceptions, and interactions with others until we let go of them and heal them. The beauty of day to day life is that all, day everyday, we are given lesson after lesson to support us in this process and it is our choice to learn from these lessons or repeat them over and over until we do.
Sometimes I can be in the illusion in my head that I’m doing okay, but the truth in my body may be very different to this, Serge Benhayon supports me to see and feel the reality of this.
It just goes to show the incredible power of reflection.
Truth is my life would be a mess had I not met Serge Benhayon.
Dear Rachel, I whole heartedly agree “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.”
I second this Blog. I too say ‘Thank god for Serge Benhayon. ” I hate to imagine where I would be.
“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”.
So, I say yes to Rachel and thank God for Serge Benhayon and you; and for all the other constellations that come my way. A powerful and beautiful blog to read and feel, thank you.
Very powerful writing, and the appreciation for yourself and Serge Benhayon is felt deeply. Another amazing strong feeling I got, was the sense of not giving your power away, not even to someone who supported you to how to connect to yourself. I find this incredible and equally very inspirational. We all got this enormous power inside, and it is our choice how much and when we fully start to use it.
Thank God for Serge Benhayon but also to ourselves and everyone who chooses to stand before the truth that is presented by him and those who now live that truth via inspiration. It takes a lot of courage to at first entertain and come to terms with what the Ageless Wisdom is presenting. In a world where irresponsibility has control over the majority if not every aspect of human life. When dealing with energy it’s not a small feat to ask – what if? When presented with what Universal Medicine shares.
There is so much to appreciate about Serge Benhayon and his willingness to stand for and present truth.
I agree Brendan. Those who are living truly loving lives are a breath of fresh air and a living inspiration.
Well said Rachel, I also appreciate my choice to meet Serge Benhayon and be inspired by all he presents. I know I would not be in a very good place now if I hadn’t meet Serge Benhayon and embraced the ageless wisdom and made the lasting changes in my life that I have.
What I love is that Serge never imposes any wish or want for anyone to change, he just presents and then it’s up to me if I want to change or not.
Love your description about the mind ‘desperately trying to hold on to its configured way of being …. to have dominion over me and my body.’ We allow this to continue at the expense of our vitality and much besides. It’s our body, not our mind that holds the true wisdom – a phenomenon that takes a while to grasp, but once understood, means the mind no longer has such a hold over us. Listening to the wisdom of the body puts us directly in touch with the truth of how we’re living in it – the feelings, reactions and consequences of all our choices. From here we’re then free to make the same or different choices. Always, always our choice.
Appreciation stands out as I read your blog again today Rachel. Being in the right place at the right time – no coincidence. Yes Thank you God for Serge Benhayon. I feel that for so many (myself included) the constant search for something missing in our lives was much closer than we ever envisaged.
I think that their are many people who would say something very similar, myself included – my life is an amazing thing, no small thanks to the friendship and support of Serge.
“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” – me too. Whichever turn I have taken, there would only have been delay as there’s no other way home, but I have made enough of those turns to delay already, so I do not want to do that any more.
Thank you Rachel I loved this blog, it is interesting to ponder on where our lives would be now if not for coming into contact with Serge. I remember the first talk I went to at Byron, it was so powerful, I could feel a part of me just wanted to run out of there and it was a struggle to hold myself on the seat but there was another part of me that truly felt I had at last, come home, home to the presence of love, and the truth that was being expressed.
Amazing that you said “yes’ to your Soul Jill and didn’t run out of those first presentations you went to! Great choice.
A beautiful blog Rachel, to share so honestly . I also love the comment of cjames2012! Thank you both.
It is the empowering of the individual so that we all can make choices that are actually informed, that are real, and not coming from a confused mishmash of beliefs and ideals that I found definitely shaped my life and opinions, that is the wonderful quality of what Serge Benhayon is offering… And it is there for everyone with no exceptions.
I love how you express the impact that Serge Benhayon has had on your life Rachel, “… 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.” It is truly remarkable how the lives of you, I and countless others have changed beyond recognition by choosing to explore and implement the ideas and way of being presented by Serge.
This is an amazing common thread. We had our lives, we were running to one direction, we carry all of our hurts along but did not know how much they affected us, we learnt inadvertently to do everything possible to reproduce our ill-being. And, with all that on our backs we met Serge Benhayon, and slowly slowly we became of what we were carrying and healing, and freeing ourselves from where we have chosen to be. So, yes, thank God for Serge Benhayon.
I love what you have written here Eduardo it is true we came laiden with all our hurts and issues and we were unaware of just how much these affected our lives. It has been quite a journey to find how deep and old the hurts can be but worth every step to know these hurts are no longer affecting my life. Thank God for Serge Benhayon a truly amazing man.
Yes I did not realise how many hurts I had that were ruling the roost and effecting so many decisions I made and how many reactions I went into. I kinda new we carried stuff around but not to the extent that we all do. Serge Benhayon is the first person so truly state that the stuff we carrying around is not us and can be healed quite simply and easily with a good dose of honesty and simple healing.
I didn’t quite realise how heavy all that had become Eduardo, until I met Serge Benhayon and something in me registered that life didn’t have to be like this. The identification with struggle is particularly heavy and entangled among that are the endless complications. Every time I let go of more struggle, the space and lightness of being expands and confirms the limiting affect this has on us.
Vicky I so relate to what you say about making life a struggle and I too have noticed the more I surrender and honour what I feel there absolutely is more space and lightness that I feel I have. The more I choose such loving ways the more of the space and lightness expands and grows within.
Thank you Rachel for your blog, and I too resonate with all you have written, in that my life has totally changed since meeting up with Serge Benhayon. What gets me more than anything is his total honesty and humbleness in the way he responds to me and all of us.
Yes indeed, ‘Thank God for Serge Benhayon’. Like you, Rachel, I am one of the many hundreds, if not thousands, of people to express that gratitude. And for all of us our lives have radically and unalterable changed for better through meeting him directly or indirectly. If he were a guru it would be claimed that he had saved us but he is not a guru and he did not save us. What he has done is present truth, responsibility and love and for those who have chosen to listen and discern for ourselves that what he presents is truth we have made the changes resulting in us ‘saving’ ourselves.
A pertinent point Jonathan – we save ourselves based purely on the choices we make.
“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”. Me too Rachel, to recognise how so little can change so much, not just in me but in thousands of people. Serge Benhayon is a truly an extraordinary ordinary man who has supported me to bring love back into my life and to bring a joy that I did not think was possible,
How wonderful Rachel that you knew immediately that Serge Benhayon allowed you to realise the choices you have made and the choices you can make in the future. I first saw Serge in 1999 and I was not ready to make changes. It took me another 10 years of pain and suffering to realise I wanted change. My life is now without all the emotional dramas. Now I can finally feel love in my heart and in others. It’s been life changing for me since I have embraced “The Way of the Livingness”.
This is huge Meg and Lyndy. And ‘hugely apparent’ amongst many students of the Ageless Wisdom that Serge Benhayon consistently presents. In being so inspired to reclaim ourselves and live in accordance to our divinity – simply so – the turn-around is astounding to see and feel in so many, many people.
Personally, I feel more vital, alive and committed in my life (in my 40’s) now more than ever. My doctor says my body is running as that of a woman approx. 12 years younger than my age… None of this can be discounted.
In a world of increasingly diabolical trends in illness and disease, this is without question amazing.
That is super awesome Victoria that your body is running approximately 12 years younger than you currently are – and stated by a doctor. This could be a case study!
That’s absolutely amazing that your doctor said your body is running as 12 years younger, and absolute proof that changing the way you live deeply effects your health.
Also – super interestingly, when I was around 23/25 I felt I had pretty much burnt my body out for this life. It’s quite astonishing that the way we are taught to live in constant busyness, anxiousness and emotional turmoil could lead to the body feeling so much older than it is. Thanks to Serge Benhayon teaching me about self care and self love I no longer feel like my physiology is older than it should be.
Yet further testimony Meg, and deeply beautiful to hear. Where do most usually end up, if burnt out in their twenties (or younger)? I talked to a young woman in her twenties recently who said she was feeling ‘100’ most days – running on nervous energy and working 3 jobs… until she started to choose to turn things around for herself. The thing is, she did so. At the end of a 6 week Esoteric Yoga program (a modality founded by Serge Benhayon), her employers were even commenting upon how calm and centred she was, how great she looked (what was she doing??), and she herself was feeling her youth again – how cool is that!
And how readily we can truly make change, choose it for ourselves and buck the growing trend of statistics (people) whose bodies are collapsing from the way we have by and large chosen to live. At whatever point we may find ourselves, there are always choices available to truly care and let go of what has not served us.
You’ve nailed it David, and so gorgeous to hear… Serge Benhayon shows us how one person – one, single person – can make an immense difference, when that person chooses to live in accord with the greatness of love and divine fire within. Simply in ‘being’, others are confirmed for the spark of greatness within them also.
History will look back and see here how one man inspired – in the true sense of the word – MANY. And how MANY inspired MANY, MANY MORE…
Humanity is at a pivotal point, and it is well and truly noted. Your story David offers confirmation that such miracles are real and can be experienced in our everyday lives – ‘miracles’ in the sense that we all have the ability to reclaim our own love and amazingness… Sometimes all we need is a ‘reminder’ through the reflection and depth of claiming of this in another.
A point of choice exactly Lyndy. Up until meeting Serge Benhayon I had been SEEKING truth – in earnest – for many years, from my teens onwards especially… Meeting him was an absolutely pivotal point… No more was it about ‘looking for the glimmers of truth’ or expecting to find it outside of myself. Through Serge Benhayon, I was presented with the fact that Heaven is most definitely within – smashing the ‘seeking consciousness’ that would have me ever looking without, and ‘needy’ for someone to show me the way.
I have never met ANYONE like this man – a real, everyday person who I can have an everyday ‘laugh’ with (hilariously so!), yet who with 100% of his being does nothing but confirm and reignite my own knowing of the divinity within (within me, and us all).
To live in accordance with this divinity is my own call and no-one else’s – and a responsibility that once realised is not taken lightly (though there is immense ‘lightness’ in it!) – it taken on behalf of all. We need not hide who we are, or ‘wander’ until our time is done. What a waste that is/would be…
Our way can indeed be lighted by the divine fire and boy, is it needed.
The yoghurt-weaving is a stand-out cracker of a comment – yet bang on true. Having moved to the Byron Bay area of Australia not long before meeting Serge Benhayon, all this and more was (and still is) on offer. I’d already done my fair share of it in my own way. Similar to Rachel Hall, I found myself in a private session with Serge Benhayon, and not long after sitting in a hall overlooking Byron Bay wondering what ‘may come’ of the day’s Heart Chakra workshop.
What was delivered was most definitely not about seeking spiritually (something I knew well…). Serge Benhayon clearly presented the truth of who we are first and foremost – our divinity not as something to reach outside for, but acknowledge that it was/is there all along. Not only this, but we could make choices as Rachel Hall has shared, to live in a way that deeply honours this divinity and maintains our connection with this truth.
Prior to this, I’d only ever encountered ‘glimmers’ of truth in any presenter, book or workshop. Serge Benhayon presented the whole deal, and from there, how to bring awareness to and extricate ourselves (no-one does it for you) from the complicated mess we have enmeshed ourselves in, that has yes, obscured the power and amazingness of our true being and light, but can never ever extinguish its spark.
Straight to truth – that’s what Serge Benhayon brings, and thank God for his absolute strength, commitment and willingness to consistently deliver it.
Brilliant blog Rachel Hall, celebrating in full the fact that through one person’s presence, our own inner truth can be re-ignited. Not in any namby-pamby giving away of one’s power or blissing out(!) as you’ve rightfully stated, but in plain and simple confirmation of “the fact that I come from God and am therefore divine, filled with love and an intelligence that goes far beyond our human realm.”
Meeting Serge Benhayon also changed my view of myself, my world view, and commitment to truly living life in just such a way. This is true inspiration in activity – someone who unequivocally claims their divinity and absolute amazingness, and sees its truth in all equally. What an absolute Godsend Serge Benhayon is, yes. And what an absolute Godsend we all are, most especially and powerfully so, when we wake up to the fact and realise that our innate divinity can be lived – in practical and simple terms.
The deepest Joy 🙂
I say a ‘yes’ and thank you (!) to what both of you present here, Rachel and Victoria – Serge Benhayon has been a huge inspiration to many in the way that he has given us back the choice and the realisation that we play such a massive role in how our own lives play out. The greatest gift we can give ourselves is to then make the changes in our lives, through the choices that we make, and know that we are all Godsends, and that we can live this in a very practical way.
Beautiful Henrietta. Just accepting the fact that we are all ‘Godsends’ – that is, we are all of and from God and continually live in His Love – changes everything.
I’d say this ‘acceptance’ is a continual work in progress, but so amazingly and joyfully worth it.
Thank you Rachel for your wonderful words. Through your inspiration I was also wondering where I would be today without meeting Serge Benhayon and the first think I definitely could say is I would be very ill and would not live this amazing life I live today. To know “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 . . . ” was also the key for me to made exactly this choices that lead to healing myself.
Beautiful Rachel so well said and delivered, life since meeting Serge Behaynon has changed so much and become so much more real and honest with a vitality and responsibility from his consistent inspiration and livingness shared for us all.
Love it Catherine Bower – well said. And is the same for me as well.
Agreed Tricia – my life has turned around also in every way and not because of anyone saving or fixing me, but simply a man – Serge Benhayon – who offered an inspiring reflection of another way of living which offered me the opportunity to feel I too could make a different choice and choose a more living way to live.
Thank you Rachel, it is truly interesting to hear about everyone’s constellations in meeting Serge Benhayon, but without a doubt every single one of them have had a life changing experience. To suddenly be held and loved in a way that we have not ever been before. In a few moments one man can bring you everything- everything you are, back to you. What a confirmation. Thank God and Thank Serge for you Serge and you God and in turn – all of us.
Absolutely gylrae, I can put my hand up too and say that for me if Serge Benhayon had not become a part of my life I would be a very different person today and not necessarily for the better. I would be far more emotional, probably even more isolated than I was before I met Serge and even more lost with how to live in this world. The simple presence and awareness of all Serge Benhayon has presented has literally allowed me to turn my life back on track and it is already far grander than I would ever have imagined it could ever have been! All through simple choices and true healing.
I agree too, there is actually no freak accident, the events of life all have meaning, and I love being here to work it out, thanks to the help of Serge Benhayon.
I love the way you take full responsibility here Rachel, and thank god for you showing us how great it is to do that.
Rachel, it’s great how you’ve made it really clear that Serge Benhayon doesn’t come along and ‘fix’ anyone as such or give a magic pill that blisses you out but instead lovingly empowers people by helping us to see the choices that we have made and make constantly and how they impact us and everyone else.
One look into Serge Benhyaon’s eyes and your life is forever changed, there is a love so deep, it is a reflection of all that is there and the waywardness in life is brought back to purpose.
How could ‘close your eyes and breathe gently’ have such an impact? The thing is, it did and I have realised that there were much more than words being felt that day, but a quality that touched me deeply. It is the quality of truth, love and light that is not tangible in words, but exists and can be felt in the core of my being.
Beautiful Matthew, it is the truth, love and light of us, that is the core of our beings, and it is amazing to feel it.
I so agree… thank God for Serge Benhayon with heartfelt appreciation…..This blog definitely makes me look back and reflect how far I have come, from where I use to be. So much has changed in my life.
I so agree with you Rachel, Thank god for Serge Benhayon who I so appreciate. He has inspired me to change my life. I was barely able to sit or stand for long with such a back to now being able to do those things.
This part that you said,” 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.” This is so true for me also….taking responsibility.
Yes, Lyndy, we are left to wander the earth trying to make sense of it all, until we open ourselves up to the truth. Serge Benhayon constantly shows us the way home, and I thank God for him every day.
All of my life I knew something was not right and I walked around feeling miserable since a teenager; often feeling depressed and I would be overcome with a deep grief well into my 40’s. Then I met Serge Benhayon and my life has never been the same since; many changes have occurred and continue to daily – one of the biggest changes for me has been committing to work.
THANK GOD FOR SERGE BENHAYON as I really don’t think I would be alive today. When I collapsed and was rushed to hospital it was the end of a lifetime of abuse. Had it not been for the teachings of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine who offered me another way to live and to look at my past choices which were clearly harming me, I doubt anything would have changed. This inevitably would have led to my old behaviour patterns and so I would not be here today writing in this way as I would have most certainly lost the plot. I thank God everyday for Serge Benhayon because he is a game changer on a grand scale. Something our world would benefit from if they choose to study and observe him. He is the guarantee of what is truly possible to live on this earth today.
Well said gylrae and I second that. My life has changed so much since meeting Serge Benhayon, I wouldn’t have cancer or anything else that is obviously wrong, but like you I would without a doubt be on that emotional roller coaster too, being driven from excitement to desperation without knowing I have the choice to live without them (the emotions). So yes, thank God for Serge Benhayon not holding back the simple truths of life and beyond.
Super cool and when we accept the ‘no accident’ basis for our lives it is like an invitation to get back into our own driving seats with purpose and clarity about the next move.
‘Having said yes’ in spite of the misgivings and resistance – this is so amazing, Rachel. And when I did and continue to do the same: saying yes to treating myself with great care, saying yes to hearing the wisdom of Universal Medicine, saying yes to being inspired by Serge Benhayon, saying yes to the support from practitioners and friends who often see more of me than I do, saying yes to being open to a bigger picture that is all of our evolution, I know I am coming home.
Well said sarahraynebaldwin. Rachel does have such real, honest, down-to-earth and highly descriptive way of writing. I was chuckling out loud about yoghurt weaving. It is so easy to relate to, and it is even more of a bonus that it is about that amazing yet so humble man Serge Benhayon, the light of our lives who showed us how to be the light of our own life, that everyone without exception is a magnificent light.
Thank God for Serge Benhayon who showed me that EVERYTHING is medicine… the way we live, self love, relationships, reflections from nature, energetic integrity, Responsibility, Accountability, Purpose, Brotherhood, Sacredness and reclaiming all that a person divinely is. For one and for ALL. All these qualities lay within each and every person, and may have laid dormant, suppressed, held back due to an erosive effect life has on a person. But it has taken this one man, Serge Bnehayon, to resurrect that which always lives within, and all I feel is, Thank God I crossed his path…
Your blog Rachel reminds me of how, like in the Matrix movie, we are always offered a choice, one to numb us out and have us stay living in comfort and one that reveals the all. Each choice we make we are saying “Yes” and this is such a powerful thing to feel. There is always a choice and thank God I knew in an instant choosing to go and see Serge Benhayon for a session was the choice to reveal the all, the rot and the glory. From that moment on I never doubted what was being revealed; the war most definitely has only been within myself.
For a long time I searched for that magic pill and I sometimes still do. Even if I am offered one, it is always a placebo and waste of time for there is no magic pill. The magic occurs when we take responsibility for our own choices and when we begin to make different choices. If you want to perform a miracle, make self loving choices and see what happens.
Thank God for Serge Benhayon ! I absolutely relate to what you have shared Rachel, where on earth would I be right now if I had not been presented with the opportunity in my late 20s to develop self care and introduce love back into my life? I shudder to think really! Because the changes we are all capable of making when we take the reins of our choices and make them based on a knowing of the amazingness we deeply and absolutely are everything changes ~ it’s bound to!
We regain self-awareness and are self-empowered in our own lives and naturally this follows on to expand our relationships, careers and commitment to service with other people; opening ourselves up to the immense possibilities in life and taking the opportunities to live in the natural and harmonious rhythm that we love because we are.
It’s actually little scary to ponder where I would be had I not met Serge Benhayon. And clearly I am not the only one who feels this way having read this blog and some of the comments. When I say thank God for Serge Benhayon I mean it deeply. If he had inspired but one of us, the impact on the world would have been huge. That one person making changes and choosing to live in more connection with their soul would have also had a massive impact on the world simply by the way they walked upon the Earth and reflected something different to humanity. But Serge has inspired countless people and when you think of the ripple in a pond, the world has changed because Serge Benhayon chose to live amongst us reflecting the light of God and let us know that we too are capable of the same thing.
This is true for me also Gyl – my life would be a mess but not necessarily through obvious things. Externally my life was ok, even though that too has improved, it was more the internal things such as self-loathng, disengagement, allowing abuse and holding back that were wearing me down. At the time these things all seemed not a big deal and I didn’t think there was too much wrong. Enter Serge Benhayon and a light was shined on all of it. Since then I have made different choices and continue to do so.
absolutely true Gyl, from what I considered to be a free way to live, to seeing it for the imprisoning and oppressive non-life it really was. True freedom is knowing what is true and what is not, and having that awareness to know the choice we are making.
So true – hearing Serge Benhayon present “that we are not just here by some freak accident” was a turning point for me as well and things finally started to fall into place and make sense.
Hear hear Tricia!
The heading of your blog sums it up, Thank God for Serge Benhayon, I didnt realise how much of a mess my life was until I came into contact with Serge, and with his guidance, support and love I am so much physically and mentally healthier.
Totally Joe,
Where would any of us be without Serge Benhayon? My life too was a total mess and it has now turned around to an amazing extent so that I am now strong and healthy, able to speak what I feel, able to open my heart and love people, see the bigger picture, look younger and more beautiful, feel gorgeous, enjoy working, enjoy simply moving, enjoy simply living! All of this in a few short years after living far short of this for many many years. Thank God for Serge Benhayon.
How true Joe! We do not know the extent of the mess we are in when we meet Serge Benhayon. It dawns on us as the truth is revealed. And it’s never terribly traumatic as the light dawns. Yes some devastation comes up as we see the way we have been conducting our lives in such a loveless and disregarding way, but the joy of realising the truly loving way of living is worth more than any moment of devastation at seeing the truth.
Beautifully said tricianicholson. Serge Benhayon has reminded me that I am a deeply religious person and our connection to God and the universe can be made very real and very practical.
Ain’t that the truth Vicky Geary! To look back at how deeply my understanding of living truly religiously has deepened since knowing Serge Benhayon, I am gobsmacked… Before this pivotal point, I knew God, yes, but did not know that I could truly develop a deep connection and knowing of God in my body and everyday life, in the way that I do now.
How truly spectacular to feel the difference in one’s body – in ‘very real’ and ‘very practical’ ways, as you say, and how this enables one to live a full life, full of joy, love, commitment, and true strength and steadfastness, that we may meet what comes from the knowing of God being such a reality within.
Love your appreciation here Rachel, of the fact that it comes back to our choices. Accepting the choices we’ve made in the past and the choices we can make right now in this moment.
Such a beautiful blog Rachel. I love the way you have made it clear that Serge Benhayon’s offering is very clear and simple and something that is available to us all.’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 deluded ideal mind expects things to be complicated, stimulating, difficult, or a that a pill will do the trick (as you wrote), but no, we have been given the simple tools to make choices in our everyday life that support us, and so support everyone.
Absolutely Meg – if you walk into a room of people at a Serge Benhayon presentation everyone has a ‘life’ to them, people look interesting and lovely. I have found that I look at least ten years younger than when I began to attend the presentations and make these simple life-style choices. And I feel beautiful, brand new, as it were. I would not go back for anything on earth!
Thank God for bringing us Serge Benhayon, a man who has defeated the illusion that we all live with and so, is able to show us our future, what is possible when we do the same. He brings us all the practical steps, like no one has ever done before, so that this is possible for all who choose to take these steps.
It is not melodramatic what you share Rachel, your warning signs of what was ahead of you; I feel my list and many other students lists could have been similar. Serge Benhayon is the first person to reveal the essence of just how given up I have been, why this is so, how it plays out and to give me the keys to reclaiming myself. It is entirely up to me to action these and to let go of the hurts that arise as I do. The liberation of being able to see it clearly is the inspiration I have needed and been seeking my whole life.
‘So I say, thank God for Serge Benhayon and thank God to me’ and I say hear hear to that Rachel!
I do recall a moment I had at a course when I suddenly truly knew that I had the power to change what was happening in my life, “…what he did was allow me to realise that I had made and could make choices;” I sat there and thought, “Yes I can, and I don’t need to wait for anyone, or need anyone’s permission…” And so I did, and 10 years later I feel amazing, no doubt about it. I agree “Thank you God for Serge Benhayon”.
Absolutely Rachel and Samantha. Serge Benhayon has empowered us to choose for ourselves the life we want to live. We are no longer at the mercy of situations, circumstances, forces or other people. We are divine and we can choose divinity and lovingly bring it to the world.
Isn’t it amazing how we come to the work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine – there are no co-incidences, everything constellates in divine timing…like staying on the Isle of Lismore in Scotland; meeting Chris James at a workshop in London; moving to Byron Bay, then the Gold Coast; meeting up with Chris again and being introduced to Serge Benhayon; attending Universal Medicine workshops, and finally moving to northern NSW: we all have our own unique journey in life.
I also say thank God for Serge Benhayon. I can’t imagine where I would be now if I had not met Serge. I was in my early 20’s when I found my way to Universal Medicine and I was looking for purpose in life, exploring and trying different things and I was in quite self destructive relationships, partying hard and trashing myself with exercise. Almost ten years down the track I am a totally different person, with a deep sense of self-love and self-satisfaction in my life. I would not have found this where I was looking before I met Serge.
“… not be afraid to allow myself to feel, to be sensitive and aware of everything around me, even the subtlest of energy.” This sentence I can really relate to, as being sensitive I have found it very challenging to allow myself to feel everything; I had shut this part of me down and it hurt. Serge Benhayon has and is supporting me to embrace my sensitivity and every day I am choosing to feel more and more around me; this in itself has been life changing for me.
Today I stopped and felt how amazing my life is now and how it is changed so vastly since meeting Serge Benhayon. I agree whole heartedly, ‘Thank God for Serge Benhayon.’
This made me really stop too susanG and consider how my life has changed immeasurably since meeting Serge Benhayon… This includes every area of my life including my health, wellbeing, relationships, work etc. Hear hear to “Thank God for Serge Benhayon!”
Yes, a good point to stop and appreciate. I have made choices that have changed my life around in incredible was. All of this was because of the inspiration, example and support of Serge Benhayon. Thank God for Serge Benhayon.
Yes I too have to stop and appreciate the choices I’ve made that have changed my life in many extraordinary ways through being inspired by the presentations of Serge Benhayon.
Hi Rachel – no melodrama here. Your words describe beautifully the journey of many people whose lives have been touched by the teachings and healing modalities of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
I feel the full and ongoing benefits and massive life changing effects of these in my life. To be able to live who you truly are in the world is the greatest gift you could give to anyone.
With everything that you have written and with the testimonials of many others with a similar story to yours Rachel, clearly what Serge Benhayon presents works. Just reading your following statement confirms this “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”. Serge’s work is profound and needs to be studied because it reveals that we can change at a very fundamental level.
I add my voice to say thank you to Serge Benhayon. I often think about the strange set of circumstances that brought me to Universal Medicine and it brings a big smile to my face. Since then many of my questions have been answered and my life enriched ten fold.
Yes Rachael, thank God for Serge Benhayon, the man who simply makes sense and speaks truth, undeniable, irrefutable truth and lives this truth with the most amazing love, integrity and dedication to all humanity. I too am so very grateful for ‘being in the right place at the right time.’
I love your blog Rachel and had to come back to it. It is very refreshing to read your words, I love your matter of fact way of expressing straight from the heart without any detour. Not at all melodramatic, simply very real and factual.
Rachel, this is such a beautiful article to read, thank you for sharing your experiences, your wisdom and your appreciation for Serge Benhayon and yourself.
“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”.
Yes indeed thank God for Serge Benhayon.
Hear Hear, Thank God for Serge Benhayon! Thank God for him showing me how to connect to the true me so that I may live life instead of just getting through it.
Beautiful Jeanette. Life before coming across the Way of the livingness as presented by Serge Benhayon was quite a different matter. It was dodging under the radar to get through, navigating a ‘safe’ path in this dangerous world by employing all kinds of self-destructive means, hiding and withdrawing from a full commitment to our society, and many other things too numerous to name. Let there be Life!
Let there be Life – Yeah Lyndy! Plain old existing was too tragic and painful to mention. Sometimes I feel stuck in-between my old patterns of ‘getting through’ and my my newly embraced Livingness. No doubt though I know what I chose, and will chose to develop forever more. Serge Benhayom shines and Universal Medicine are the light at the end of my tunnel! Let there be Light and let there be Love!
Making a single choice to take responsibility for all the rest of our choices, is the best possible inspiration we can foster when inspired by another doing the same. The funny thing is, it seems to me that once we’ve made constantly (to the best of our ability) true choices, it seems there is no choice at all: in that, we feel truth or it is not. And it is here I look forward to living.
The changes you have made since meeting Serge Benhayon sound simple (and they are) but it takes courage and dedication to keep going and not settle for better or good enough. This is one of the most powerful things that Serge and Universal Medicine offer, a steady reflection of what we are capable of, what our true way of living can be, so we are not lulled into thinking that’s enough. I second your appreciation Rachel, ‘Thank God for Serge Benhayon’. Not just for myself but for all the people I have seen grow and blossom over the last decade.
Awesome Rachel this is a true claiming of you and the choices you’ve made that have turned your life around. Inspired by Serge Benhayon you have re-claimed your truth and that shines so brightly through your writing. Another awesome testimonial that reflects that when we choose to honour how we feel things open up for us and opportunities present to connect back to the truth.
“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.” Rachel this is absolutely powerful in its simple truthful understanding of what Serge Benhayon shares with everyone equally. The most precious opportunity and choice we can make to let Serge in.
This is super cool Rachel – down to earth, and easy to understand how by taking responsibility for your own choices, you can change your life. Not by some magic pill, but by real choices.
It’s beautiful to see how you aligned yourself Rachel with the one person (Serge Benahyon) who could allow you to see the true you that was there waiting all along. Your blog helps me appreciate how everything that happens in our lives occur for a reason, and when something magical occurs (like your finding yourself through the help of Universal Medicine) it’s a great time to stop and thank yourself for doing what was necessary to bring that alignment about for your own personal growth and learning.
To confirm and appreciate myself at this time is much needed and Rachel’s blog and michaelgoodhart36’s comment has given me a wonderful opportunity to stop and reflect on where I am today; I have never felt so content to be here on earth and this is unfolding every day thanks to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine offering me another way.
There are never any coincidences in life and when we realise and come to this understanding, it changes every thing. I have always felt to have some understanding of this truth but never have I embraced all moments as divine moments; I have been very selective in only choosing coincidences that suited! The constellation of order simply amazes me and is indeed something to appreciate every day. Thank you for this reminder michaelgoodhart36.
Thanking God for Serge Benhayon for the fact that I met him and he is in my life, makes me smile. Because he has supported me to remember that I am a Son of God, as is he and as are we all. In fact there is little difference between any of us other than the choices that we make and therefore the energy we align to. Serge Benhayon’s choices are always embracing of all that God is, living simply, lovingly never abandoning truth, harmony, stillness and genuine joy, appreciation and honouring of everyone. It provides a powerful reminder that this level of love is our true essence, we are all Sons of God, and our choices have far greater impact and significance than we have so far cared to be aware of.
So very well said Rachel – ‘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.’
I agree Jenny, this sentence “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” is indeed so very well said. It is huge as so many of us especially when we are at a low point in our lives are looking to be saved. Serge Benhayon empowers and supports us all to know and be all that we truly are by presenting in a way where we get to experience for ourselves, within our own bodies what truth truly is.
We are very blessed indeed. It is with great appreciation I look back and see how much things have changed and how everything within me has become so much more joyful. Serge Benhayon has been absolutely central to that change. His inspiration has changed everything.
Beautifully strong Rachel, no magic pill or instant enlightenment just self responsibility and dealing with your hurts with tender loving care.
Yes Bernard. It is so simple to turn the tide on the current status quo. The linear mind cannot think it could be so simple as it is so caught up in the configuration of complication and it often takes some big stop to happen before we will take notice.
Thank God indeed for Serge Benhayon. I love how you have expressed this Rachel. Serge presents what is possible, then it’s up to us to make the choices. Through those choices, our lives have changed significantly for the better…. and I don’t like where i was heading either before I came to his teachings!!
Very well said Rachel, it is amazing what the support of one man can do to change a life . I have the same experience as you, finding my life being an amazing thing that I could barely have imagined in my wildest dreams it is so amazing.
I love the way you just put it all out there in what you have said here Rachel. And yes, thank God for Serge Benhayon!
Rachel, I love the humour and lightness, the honesty and love in your sharing. What you have written is so true for my life as well and I am still learning how to get the stones, which I created out of my way. But thank God for Serge Benhayon, through his support I start to see the stones and get the understanding to what is needed in order to let them go.
The testimonies to how Serge Benhayon has changed the lives of so many people is not a normal everyday occurrence, very rarely can one man have such a positive impact on so many people, which begs the question why there has been little to no positive or at least neutral reporting on Serge and Universal Medicine? If as it looks likely his work has changed the health and wellbeing of so many people, should this not be studied for the sake of humanity. It may only be a small cross section of the 6 billion inhabitants of this planet, but it is a cross section that grows and continues to defy the illness and disease rates that are stalking our global populations.
Great point Stephen. With so many testimonies that accumulate daily on the positive influence that Serge Benhayon has had on many people’s lives, this should indeed be studied as many thousands of people across the world have changed their lives due to the reflection that there is another way of living with the ongoing love and support from Serge Benhayon. Living in a way where we self-love and self-nurture is our new normal and this should be celebrated as well as studied as it is the way of the future.
I agree Stephen, this cross-section of the community should most definitely be studied. It is simply miraculous when we look at how all our lives have turned around. Serge Benhayon has pioneered this deeply beautiful way of living, so that love is brought back in . . .starting with self-care (a vital key) and expanding to self-love and then love. This vital ingredient, this true medicine, Love, has brought something worth studying. There is a kind of lethargy or inertia out there that cannot even admit that this is happening. But we will all continue to live this life lovingly and eventually we will all come back to Love.
Good point Stephen. There are many who say no to Serge Benhayon’s teachings and what he offers, for whatever reason. I am thankful and appreciative that I said yes and did not continue to turn my back on myself.
Super gorgeous Rachel – an amazing testament to an amazing man (and to you too!) It’s quite amazing how we end up in these places just at the right moment… coincidence? Definitely not. It is impossible to question there is more to life than just ‘chance’ when things like you have shared happen.
That moment we connect to our own divinity and really experience it in our bodies as a lived quality, is a life changing moment and nothing is the same ever since.
Words are not enough to describe what it is, that you say, in your comment Andrew – but I would rather words to buoy the unchartered route for the many who’ve yet to come to this same feeling. You’ve touched on a wonderful yet indescribable change we shall encounter one day.
I found your blog really brought me back to reality and to be able to see how much my life has changed since first meeting Serge Benhayon – and yes, thank God for that. In retrospect it is challenging to understand that I had deliberately ignored all the warning signs my body was already giving me, but that my arrogance and stubbornness were working too hard at denial for me to be able to truly connect and feel. I still find letting go a challenge but slowly and gently my respect for my feelings is returning as my body opens up to the wisdom that is so abound in every part of my life.
Amazing blog Rachel with the absolute appreciation and importance of meeting Serge Benhayon and all that has shown you in your life shared with us all to express for ourselves too. Thank you for this great blog and the joy I feel in reading it and my appreciation for Serge Benhayon and meeting him also is so immense and enormous it can barely be put into words. Being presented with absolute truth and love from the moment of meeting Serge Benhayon consistently is always with the deepest integrity and his livingness is simply amazing and joyful. It brings an expansion of knowing of my self and everything with love, appreciation and understanding.
Their is not one aspect of my life that has not been transformed as a result of meeting Serge Benhayon, now this is not me following or doing something that I am told to do, but in the quality of relationship I have with myself and how that then adjusts the entire way I live my life. From completely out of control and depressed to having loving relationships, being hard working and committed in life. Thank God for Serge Benhayon as not only has my life been enriched but I now enrich the lives of others through simply being me and their is so much more of the true me to come. A deep appreciation for Serge Benhayon.
I have loved re-reading your blog, Rachel. I know I would be in a very different place if I hadn’t made the choice to attend – and continue to listen – to the Ancient Wisdom teachings as presented by Serge Benhayon. I feel huge appreciation for him – and all the esoteric practitioners I have worked with.
Yes sueq2012. Where would I have been? And where would so so many close and a bit further away have been? It has made such a profound difference to have been able to, and chosen to attend all that Serge Benhayon has offered and is offering continuously. Thank God for Serge Benhayon and everyone who’s choosing his or her heart more and more in this world where there’s too much hardness, abuse, violence, war, etc.
A great blog Rachel, written in plain English with crystal clarity and not a hint of the airy-fairy-ness that yoghurt weavers love to wallow in. It demonstrates with stark simplicity, the sheer power and effectiveness of the teachings of Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon.
Well said jonathan, I absolutely agree. I too love simplicity and clarity that Rachel clearly demonstrates here in this blog.
Rachel, I love this blog because like you, I share an enormous appreciation for Serge Benhayon and came from a straight background never wanting to experience the “Om-ing, tree hugging and possibly yoghurt weaving” you describe. From the workshops I got to learn that I am responsible for everything that happens to me by the result of my 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.” You sum it up perfectly. I thank God everyday that I met Serge Benhayon, my life and relationships would be no where near as amazing as it is now without his inspiration to change. I know that no matter how great it is now…it will continue to be even more so tomorrow as I deepen my connection to myself and others. Yes, thank God for Serge.
My own set of apparently random events brought me to meet Serge Benhayon too and to the confirmation of what was already true in my being – that we are all Divine, all connected and all absolutely equal. No, he hasn’t saved me and he is very clear that there is no saving other than through our own choices to reconnect to our true beingness. We save ourselves. Thank you for your sharing Rachel. Coming from someone who was clearly deeply cynical about such things, this speaks volumes.
It is hugely important to appreciate the people who have supported us and continue to inspire us daily, along with appreciating the changes we have made to our own lives over the last, however many years we have been attending courses at Universal Medicine. Lately I have been feeling huge appreciation of the little things people do for me and I feel that it is important to not dismiss those little things and take them for granted.
Very true Julie. Appreciation is a lifestyle choice.
When we are presented with Truth we cannot help recognising it but we can reject and deny it. That is what Serge Benhayon does; he just presents the Truth, never attempting to persuade or convince. It is then our choice what we do with it: accept, deny or ignore. It is not he but we that save ourselves.
Reading your blog Rachel it really struck me how important it is for us to appreciate the people who have and continue to inspire us. As a society we do not do this enough. The more we appreciate ourselves the easier it is to appreciate others. That way we show the world what we value and like you I deeply value Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine in my life.
You are so right Elizabeth that to claim that there are families like the Benhayon’s who have inspired us and we have to appreciate the gift that has been presented for us to choose.
Thank God for every-one because without every-one of us the body of God would not be complete.
Thank you Rachel I so relate to your words “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.” It was like suddenly I met someone who spoke my language, and made so much sense.
The greatest thing about meeting Serge Benhayon is that his reflection simply says you are much much more than the hurts you have protected, much more than the sadness you carry as your own, much more than the pain and agony you feel as you struggle through the world.
It is this reflection that literally sparks the inner heart we all have to life – and we are thus given the choice to make the next choice loving and supportive or not. Simple. Thank God for Serge Benhayon for my own life has changed beyond what I thought was possible.
You are right so Lee, Serge can see right through to your soul meets you from there, and then he presents to you what is in the way. It is hard to describe the feeling of being treated like a divine son of god when you know you have not been living that way, but to feel that spark of soul and know unequivocally that it is within you and that it is real and life can be lived from there.
“Thank God for Serge Benhayon” hear hear Rachel, I shudder to think where I may be at now without having met Serge and begun to honour the divine being I am in truth. Serge’s presentations unveiled to me a truer way of living, one where self-care is natural and normal, which in itself was a massive shift. Treating my body now with the love and gentleness it deserves is a continually deepening aspect of my commitment to self and others.
Rachel this is profound and what struck me particularly is the significance in what you’ve shared… ‘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.’
This is fairly generally accepted as true, particularly within the new age philosophies, and the multitude of ‘therapies’ designed to address these hurts all promise to offer healing and liberation from their influence. I did many of them over a 10 year period before meeting Serge Benhayon… with little or no real change evident when it came down to it, as was the case with everyone else around me. It was a never-ending pursuit. What I can feel so clearly from what you express is that these hurts are in fact long gone, no longer having any influence in your life, and hence you can say you have gone from good, to great… to ‘pinch me’!
This needs to be examined, studied and held up for inspiration to all those seeking healing to know what true healing is, and that it is actually possible… thank God for Serge Benhayon for showing the way, but thank God for every one of us who makes the necessary choices to apply that for ourselves… becoming the same inspiration for others.
“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.” This is what I have found different in what Serge Benhayon presents opposed to other courses and modalities which have often dangled the carrot in front offering all of the so called answers. Serge Benhayon asks us to be responsible for our choices and through reflection offers us the opportunity to arrive at answers ourselves. The name of the game that Serge present is self responsibility.
Hear! hear! Donna. Serge Benhayon doesn’t teach he shows us by example, by living it himself. He shows us how to be love, how to be responsible and the Magic of God.
Talk about a Love bomb.. well this is an Appreciation bomb! Reading everyone’s comments is such a blessing – the space to feel and appreciate Serge Benhayon for the constant inspiration and truly divine man he is – also the choices we have all made to get to where we are today. So cool Rachel. Thank God for you!
Agree with you Victoria Lister …”Learning how to honour my body and my self has been key – something I never did prior to meeting Serge Benhayon” – it was the same for me too because from the works of Universal Medicine I got to really understand that what we do not love (self, life), will never be something that’s truly honoured or cherished.
And the other way round: we honour and cherish what we love – which is instrumental in developing self-worth and value.
A beautiful blog that allows us all to take stock of where we are truly from and the choices we have made to come to a place of understanding and claiming that for ourselves. If I had not made the choice to change my lifestyle and build a relationship with my body again I would be one of those statistics in young people with mental health issues. I was totally given up on life and was happy to let other energies live it for me and choose very destructive substances to numb the pain of it all. Serge Benhayon has provided a platform and true reflection of what human life can be like when we care for, love and future ourselves and claim that we are indeed from the stars and equal to God on earth.
I just love reading and reading this blog. This is such a sobering offering. Thank you, Rachel. Being told that what I feel inside is the truth, I felt thrown and annoyed; because there was no way to argue with that – because even if I said what he presented was not the truth, I would only be confirming that very statement that the truth indeed was inside me. I am almost in disbelief how I had ended up reconnecting to this truth as presented by Serge Benhayon, and all the series of events that had led to it. Huge, huge appreciation arises in me, as well as the responsibility that I have in choosing to live this way of being at this time in our history.
Thank God for Rachel Hall and you sharing this awesome blog that tells us that we are not perfect and yes we have things to look at in our lives but that we can look at these and make changes that heal us and all those around us. I’m so inspired!
I find it hard to find the words to describe my Love and appreciation for Serge Benhayon. He is an incredible man and I am honoured to have him in my life.
Rachel what you present here about being on a fast track to a raft of health issues, possibly even cancer, is true. I had the same self-knowledge and knew deep down I was heading towards breast cancer. As it was, I did go on to manifest a thyroid condition – the way I’d been living, physically, emotionally and energetically, caught up with me. This has been a development since attending presentations with Serge Benhayon. The point being attending Universal Medicine workshops and applying the principles presented therein won’t ‘cure all ills’ and no one ever claims they will. What it will do however is provide people with the tools to live lovingly, with understanding and acceptance, and with as much vitality as they can, if they so choose. Despite my thyroid condition I am the best I have ever been – on all levels. Learning how to honour my body and my self has been key – something I never did prior to meeting Serge Benhayon.
This blogs shows how powerful and inspiring we are when we take responsibility for our lives. To feel you live in a way where your hurts do not dominate you is a feat in itself, this is well worth appreciating as you do. Serge Benhayon is a continuing inspiration for me too – the ripple effects of his love filled gestures spread far and wide showing us all the power of the inspiration that lies within us all.
I was no stranger to ‘yoghurt weaving’ territory (love that phrase!) so I didn’t feel panicked about attending my first ever presentation with Serge Benhayon – but I do heartily concur with everything else you present here Rachel. Thank God is absolutely right. And not just for what Universal Medicine has done in supporting me, but what it means for the world. Herein lies the key to mankind’s salvation – all it takes is for each of us to do what you have done.
Rachel I love your humour and your ability to detach from your story and present it as something that we all can learn from. I too have been empowered by Serge Benhayon who reflects to us that there is another way to live. From his presentations it is clear that we are not victims of circumstance because we are actually making choices all the time and once we take responsibility for our choices our life starts to change. For me, the hardest thing to face was the reality that I had made poor choices that had got me to where I was. But knowing this I was able to begin again and rebuild my life on a foundation of self-loving choices, which is not selfish but which allows me to relate to others without hurt or protection because I now feel loved as who I am and no longer crave approval from others, as I used to. So absolutely yes, ‘Thank God for Serge Benhayon and thank God to me’.
Rachel yes thank God for Serge Benhayon and the many people like you who were willing to say YES! The world is going to be a different place because of this so thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Like you, Rachel, I was pretty sceptical of all things ‘new age’ …. however, I also found myself in Byron Bay for my first Universal Medicine workshop, wondering why everyone was hugging each other so much, I actually felt quite uncomfortable with no one to hug. Then Serge Benhayon started to speak and my world changed …..
‘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’ …. ditto for me too.
I was completely riveted and challenged at the same time. My life has changed enormously as a result, I can actually feel who I am now, I love being me and I’m a great ‘hugger’.
The whole Benhayon family are pretty Awesome and help, support and inspire everyone to be all that they are.
Hear hear Rachel thank God for Serge Benhayon. For with out his dedication and lived experience that he shares the truth, I too would be in a completely different state of being than what I am now. I feel confident in saying the complete opposite continuing on a road of self destruction and abuse. And a BIG yes to thanking myself for choosing to be where I am and being dedicated to living the truth to the best of my ability.
It is rare thing indeed to take responsibility for one’s life in a litigation mad society that supports the supposition that even a trip on the pavement must be the fault of somebody else. Government, hospitals, police all feel the burden of having to hold a society together that does not want to look at its own part in what it has created. More money into research, we cry. We demand a cure be found!!! What is our Government doing about the lack of hospital beds! When in truth we should be saying, how can I live more truly in harmony with my body and my surroundings so that it is not I that burden our systems of support unnecessarily, and leave them free for those that truly require their services. Self love is not narcissistic – it is truly beneficial for all, if understood in its entirety.
Great point Adam; ‘Self love is not narcissistic – it is truly beneficial for all’. I spent a life doing things for others and not valuing myself but it did not serve them or myself as I was always needing approval from the outside because I had no true appreciation of who I was. Without self-love we are more likely to become a burden on the health system so if more people took responsibility for caring for themselves this would definitely be a worthwhile contribution to our society.
Very true Sandra. We worship the martyr as the hero, not realising that the martyr’s true intentions are nearly always self serving. Recognition for a job well done is its own reward – a false promise if ever there was one.
Spot on Adam. Self-love is not only self-responsibility, but responsibility and love for all. If I take true care of myself, and approach the reasons why I might not be totally OK with deep honesty, I’m ultimately freeing up resources for those in greater need of support. And if I do need help, I’ll be presenting a body and being in the best condition possible to the medical profession, rather than expecting them to fix me. Super-simple, practical and mindful of the whole.
So true Adam, we seek to off load our responsibility for our own health and well being onto every organisation or institution going at every given opportunity. Self love is an essential education but one not widely broadcast in this world. The message to love and nurture ourselves is smothered up by forces that are more interested in money, profit and individual gain and we fall for it, because it suits our irresponsibility and laziness down to the ground. The work of Universal Medicine clearly exposes the idiocy of this pursuit and re-establishes the vital importance of our personal responsibility not only to ourselves but to the whole of humanity. Wherever possible, we should ensure that we do not burden, do not cause harm, do not take for ourselves what is intended for everyone. When we truly love ourselves we all profit in immeasurable ways, ways we are not aware of until we begin to walk that path.
The joy and rewards of self love, true responsibility and awareness are clearly stated in Rachel’s article, they produce that “pinch me I must be dreaming” feeling because feeling naturally well, joyful, vital is not a common place experience, especially when one has lived with depression and ill health for many years. It is completely feasible to achieve and Universal Medicine provides an essential education in how to establish, maintain and expand our self love, self responsibility and awareness to greater and greater levels, continually showing us that we are capable of so much more in our lives than prosecuting another person for tripping over a crack in the pavement.
As you so eloquently say Adam, Self-love is the antidote to the Litigious society of today.
Absolutely Adam and it is this general lack of responsibility that leads many to seek the cure to their ills in many alternative and conventional practices without discerning the true quality of what they are receiving. We can be blinded by need and desperation which is fed by a lack of self-love and self-responsibility.
Adam love your prospective and totally agree, we need to stop complaining about what is not being done to us and start making a change that not only supports ourselves but stretches to take pressure off government and the larger socio-economic problems.
I echo those words Rachel – thank God for Serge Benhayon for showing me that what I’d always felt was true, and that is, that there is more to life than the daily grind of existence commonly known as living that I’d looked out at and said ‘is this it?’. I could pretty much say ditto to everything you’ve said about how you felt and where you were heading prior to meeting Serge, and it has been through the many workshops, presentations and healing sessions that I’ve let go (and continue to) of past hurts that have allowed me to make different choices in how I look after myself and what I choose in life.
Serge Benhayon makes complex subjects simple and attainable, subjects which in the past I would have disengaged with make so much sense when Serge presents them and it is from these presentations that I have gradually been able to understand what plays out around me and why I am here. Had it not been for Serge Benhayon I would still be searching endlessly in hope of answers.
I would be the same Fiona, ‘Had it not been for Serge Benhayon I would still be searching endlessly in hope of answers.’ I spent much time and much money looking for answers previous to meeting Serge Benhayon, none of which ever truly supported me, it was a wonderful feeling to come to a Universal Medicine presentation and know that this was it, it made sense, felt true and I felt inspired and confirmed.
Super well said Rachel – you nailed it. Yes indeed thank God for Serge Benhayon and thank God for me too and also of course you and everyone else. It is impossible not to be ginormously grateful to Serge Benhayon for the “pinch-me-now it is so incredible I can’t believe it’s true” amazing changes that have happened in my life too. Serge Benhayon is always the first person to point the finger away from himself and say it is not about him and it is all about each one of us and how we are all the same at essence. He has demonstrated that there is another way to live and that is available for everyone – the choice is ours. Once again thank God, thank Serge and thank Nicola I made that choice and thank you Rachel and the thousands of others who are also making that choice and making it more available to everyone else!
Hear hear Nicola! I would add to that thank God for Unimed Living – the global health and wellbeing platform that can be found at http://www.unimedliving.com Never have I seen a website that so beautifully and comprehensively addresses all of life’s domains, offering true advice and support on everything from relationships, food and exercise to philosophy, religion and science. And thank God for the students of Universal Medicine who so lovingly developed and built – and now, maintain it – for mankind as a result of also finding a way to live that not only works, but is sustainable.
Well said Rachel and Nicola and amongst many lines I loved this particular line today – “What he presented and what I felt in the very core of my heart could irrefutably not be denied”. It is that combination that is the PURE GOLD. Because how and what Serge Benhayon presents is very different to the rest of the stuff out there and my head did not always get what was being said but my heart and my body where like OH YEAH – THIS IS IT. And with the teachings and our willingness to go there, miracles – like Rachel – are happening every day – every hour even. Thank God indeed.
Brilliant Rachel! I was appreciating last night how much I’ve changed in the past 2 plus years. Yes, Thank God for Serge Benhayon. The changes I have experienced were also deeply inspired by Serge Benhayon. My choices have contributed to me now no longer feeling exhausted, stressed or experience regular anxiety. I feel absolutely amazing, more clarity, joyful and healthier. I have a deep sense of purpose in life and a deep knowing of why I am here. My relationships are more loving and harmonious. If I had not met Serge, my life would probably be heading down a path similar to the list of illness and disease that Rachel shared. Now, I take responsibility for my health and every aspect of my life, living it in a way that lovingly supports me, my family and everyone around me.
Fantastic article Rachel Hall and what an incredible turn around. “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.” Thank you Rachel, these words mirror my very own pondering of what would have happened to me had I not met Serge Benhayon. It does sound melodramatic but is the truth of it, had I not understood two important factors: that I am fully in control of my life, even when I feel like the victim and that I am divine, always have been, always will be and very worth looking after. It is incredulous but your experience is true, reliable, provable, real, no airy fairy yoghurt weaving required, just some plain old common sense, true tenderness and lots, I means LOTS of honesty and love. A dependable recipe for reclaiming the divine being within as proven by Serge Benhayon, yourself and thousands of other students of Universal Medicine, self included.
Rachel you and me both, I am so appreciative of life lining up and my meeting Serge and how much my life has changed from where I was 13 years ago. Like you shared Rachel it was my saying yes, and my choices that have allowed the changes. Forever inspired by Serge and his family. Just hugging them changes your life!
Your blog lets me ponder where I would be, not knowing and having met Serge Benhayon…I could write down a looong list too..and I can say, I like this current “version” of me, a lot better than the list.
It is too scary to even imagine where I would be today if I had not met Serge Benhayon some 12 years ago. The choices I have made since then have lead me into a totally new direction towards a quality of life that I could not have even dreamed of back then.
“he did was allow me to realise that I had made and could make choices” something so simple yet so profoundly huge and utterly life and world changing. I often stop and reflect on the freedom I now have since meeting Serge Benahyon and attending Universal Medicine events. In the sense of I am free to choose what thoughts I have and know the fact there is two different energies I have can choose from. I am blown away when I look back and realise that most of my life, barr being a little girl, and a few choices in-between, I have not made choices from the real and true me, but at that time I would have sworn 110 % it was me. I now know and am living completely different to this – this has to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest gift I have ever received.
So true, Rachel, for so many. I can re-iterate my life would be a mess, particularly health-wise, if I had not met Serge Benhayon. And like you he did not ‘save’ me or anyone else but showed me/us that we had choices and it is I/we who made the choice the choice to change.
Beautiful, Rachel, ‘I had a body that needed to be treated gently and taken care of’. Until I met Serge Benhayon I didn’t really think about how I was treating my body – I thought being hard was me being efficient and I have spent the last ten years letting all that go and learning about true tenderness, it’s a beautiful way to be.
Yes I agree Carmel and it’s something I’ve been learning too – and it keeps going deeper. Oddly enough, I am more productive now than I’ve ever been, and what I produce is of a quality far greater than before I understood how to live this way.
What a super turn around Rachel Hall. I’ve never read anything like it in it’s frankness and hard hitting, straight to the point account of what happened when you met Serge Benhayon and how your life transformed but also with what could have happened if you hadn’t chosen to change. It all comes back to a simple choice – you made the choice to attend that event that day and now look where you are. One choice can lead us back to health and vitality and another can begin to take us far, far away.
I love your self appreciation Rachel, as this is a beautiful confirmation of the choices you have made and how you are living on a daily basis.
How you turned your life around sounds so simple, being responsible for your choices, looking after your body… But when you look at people’s lives this is not the normal way, so it seems we do need telling there is another way, and since we all know that really, I guess the key is, it does need to be actually lived so we are inspired and know that it’s real, that we just need to stop making excuses and do it. Thank god for Serge Benhayon for living another way and me for choosing to make changes to my life and start being more responsible and loving.
…”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”… I am not going to apologise for myself Rachel when I say that you have pretty much described the condition, or potential condition (!) of a large proportion of humanity today. What the world needs is more love, more love for self that is, not the wishy-washy romantic kind, but a true connection to our Inner-hearts. So I also say thank God for my constellation towards Serge Benhayon because there stands a man who speaks, and lives, the truth of who we ALL are. Never was a saying more true than “when the pupil is ready the teacher appears” and appear to us both he did! And I certainly don’t think you are being melodramatic, because if you are, then I am too, Serge Benhayon is awesomely amazing and we can also thank ourselves for answering the call to come back home to our Inner Heart and finding the very man who presents to us just how to do that by answering our questions with some very mind-blowing answers that we have been wanting to ask for aeons. And as a very well known TV celebrity from Liverpool once asked ‘who are you and where do you come from?”, well now we know. Thank you Rachel, and thank you Serge for reminding us that we are all Sons of God, just like you.
I sure my life would be a life of illness and depression, if I had not met Serge and said yes to what he presents. He is an extraordinarily ordinary man with the most amazing loving heart.
Agreed Natalie ~ ‘He is an extraordinarily ordinary man with the most amazing loving heart’
I also had a lot of warning signs when I met Serge and I would not have acted on most of them. I needed to go through several changes before it became easy to respond to the warning signs.
Serge Benhayon has inspired and reminded me of the true power that lies within. I am deeply appreciative for Serge Benhayons commitment to humanity and yes I thank God regulary he is in my life.
Hi Rachel, thank God for your awesome blog!!
What stood out for me was when you shared “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 find this truly inspiring and yes I agree, thank God for Serge Benhayon who truly lives all that he teaches.
Thank you Rachel for summing up so simply, and yet profoundly the teachings that Serge Benhayon has put forward as the way we too can live. It really is as simple as presenting another way we can choose to live – and then it is up to us to make the choices or not. The ways put forward in how we can be with ourselves are based on the highest forms of love and self honouring – as well as that same quality lived equal for all. I wonder sometimes too where I would be had I not decided to make the choices I have, and gone along to the events I have done where Serge Benhayon has been presenting. I am forever grateful for them, and appreciative of all I have met along the way.
Indeed meeting Serge Benhayon and attending just one event was defiantly the pivotal point for myself too Rachel, I know exactly were I’d be if I had said no…
Yes exactly Jaime.. my first meeting with Serge Benhayon marks what I now refer to as my ‘previous life’ as it bears no resemblance to the one I live now. And while there’s no diminishing the absolute inspiration he has been for every step of the way, nothing I have would be without my willingness to make the choices I have as a result. I also know exactly where l’d be without having met Serge, and it is not pretty if I was to continue on the same trajectory that my first 37 years was providing.
I can relate hugely here Jenny and I feel just the same, Thank God for Serge Benhayon is the absolute perfect way of expressing this and something that I do feel will be something I will always cherish. The simple fact is my life is totally different and I now understand my purpose, which is an enormous revelation.
It really is a ‘previous life’ or ‘another life’ Jenny! I feel the same way, the 2 are poles apart. I’ve never felt so settled, joyful and full of purpose as I do now.
I’m the same Jenny, my ‘other life’ was taking me in a whole other direction, one that I am very glad to have left behind. And it all had to do with the quality I was choosing to live in each and every day. This is the marked difference, the feeling of ease, love, joy and a stillness that I will never leave again.
Its funny how you begin with saying it was a “seemingly random chain of events that brought me to Australia, then on to Brisbane…” No coincidence you constellated the single most important move you would ever make! I often think about the chain of events that also brought me here, all the way from Barbados and what strikes me also, is that I NEVER felt to leave Brisbane once I arrived, not permanently anyway! I am learning to Trust my inner wisdom more and more. Its the compass of Love within, that always knew, knows now, and will always know that I am the Son of God returning home.
Absolutely brilliant Rachel. What an inspiration you are! You made the choices to get yourself to where you are today, inspired by a very great man indeed. And now others can be just as inspired by you and the way you live. I love the way love works, forever expanding and always inclusive of the all.
Beautifully said Sara – the ripple effect!
Great blog Rachel ! You capture it so well. Serge is a man that teaches something so special and so devine that I too often wonder how and why I am so drawn to his work. But it speaks for itself when you start living his teachings!
Exactly Natasha – it does speak for itself when you live what is presented to us… the rewards are endless.
It was great to read your article Rachel. I was just speaking with a friend this morning deeply appreciating how incredible it has been to be constellated in the way we have in this lifetime to experience the teachings of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. It truly is a blessing beyond words but the the fact is this happened because we have chosen this, and the rest is history!
Yes, well claimed Kate – we have chosen it!
I often ponder on those ‘seemingly random’ events Rachel writes of, Katechorley, and agree, it was my choices. At some point I decided, after years of knowing that things weren’t right, to find out why, and looked at others ways of being. I can only say thank heaven I had an awareness that my body knew truth, because none of the other ways of being felt right either. Until I heard Serge. Some constellation!
Love it Rachel. I did the same as you, moved country and then cities in order, unbeknownst to me at the time, to eventually meet Serge Benhayon. A pivotal moment for sure.
I first met Serge by going to have a session with him and couldn’t get over how he nailed my life and what I was doing to myself in the first couple of minutes of sitting down. Common sense and wisdom all rolled in one and all that delivered by such a lovely and ordinary guy who understood and was honest with me.
From that moment I began to take responsibility for my life and the choices I make in it. As you say, thank God for Serge Benhayon and equally thank God to me.
I know there are thousands of people who can express this same thing. And thank God for that.
This is a beautiful blog Rachel and one that I resonate with deeply. I know exactly where I would be without Serge Benhayon and that is I would be very sick by now. Instead I am a vibrant, healthy, award winning nurse who at 55 has never felt better and now have the capacity to do more work that ever before. I can say it with you Rachel, Thank God for Serge Benhayon.
Hear-Hear Rachel! A brilliant blog capturing the essence and truth about Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon. Life turning point for sure…
Ariana unfortunately most of humanity reflects where I would be without Serge Benhayon and that is struggling.
Yes, where would I be if I had not met Serge Benhayon is a question worth pondering? I join you, and thousands of other people in saying, ‘thank God for Serge Benhayon and thank God to me’.
Yes “thank God for Serge Benhayon…” for everything he is bringing daily to the world being such a inspiration and leading light for many people. And inspiring us to become a leading light in our community.
I Love what you are saying in this post Rachel Hall and no I do not think you are being melodramatic. I know for a fact had I not met Serge Benhayon my life was already heading towards many major illnesses and so death was where I was heading fast. I physically could not stop and thought words like gentle, caring, deep rest and being still were for lazy people who like time out to do nothing. How wrong I was and I THANK GOD for Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
My life has a quality today that is not easy to put into words. Amazing is a cheap word and it will have to do as I don’t know how else to describe my life. I feel deeply content and know that my choices are the reason I am where I am at today and if there is anything I don’t like, then I look at the choices I made that got me to that point. It takes away all blame and brings in True Responsibility.
This is beautiful Rachel. A very humbling blog to read. I was pretty sceptical when I first met Serge Benhayon, but the evidence of the truths he has presented I can feel in my body. Just when I had got to a level of life that I think is out of my comfort zone, there is another level waiting for me. Dealing with hurts and claiming back responsibility is an ongoing process that I am sure would not have occurred to me in life had I not met him.
Reading the first words of your blog makes me wonder, if the refusal of “anything religious” or so called “esoteric”, comes from people feeling the bastardization and misuse of the truth through religious institutions. Maybe parallel to the abuse practiced inside ourselves and from here developing a general mistrust and protection. But nevertheless we are constantly being called by the truth itself as it is the same “vibration” of the truth that is inside us .
This has been my experience too. What I love about Serge Benhayon is his way with people and his understanding of life. It has supported me to gain a greater understanding of all that is happening, what he shares is profound yet at the same time makes total sense. He has been able to explain things that never before made sense to me. Through his inspiration and my choices my life has changed remarkably. I would have had major health issues if I had kept going the way I was.
I agree Rachel, Serge Benhayon does not save anyone but simply empowers them to save themselves.
Thank you Rachel for such a beautiful and truthful post, I myself relate to it all as I can imagine many others can too. And yes it truly has to be said with stars and all lights shining; ‘thank God for Serge Benhayon’.
Yes, thank God for Serge Benhayon indeed, as what he presents is the truth, and nothing but the truth. And thank God for you as well Rachel Hall, for being this big inspiration and all that you bring, every day, to all those people around you. What a big present you are.
I’m sure many people can say the same Rachel ‘Thank God for Serge Benhayon’. I know that meeting him has changed my life completely too, and opened my awareness tenfold. And as you say there is no magic pill or enlightenment, just simply an understanding that we can make choices, and that the choices in every moment of our lives are important and can indeed be life changing.
Awesomely put Rachel: “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”. These words speak for me and many others I know; words that sum up those first few minutes in my first ever workshop with Serge Benhayon over 10 years ago. I left this workshop two days later knowing that nothing would ever be the same, and that I was ready for, as years of struggle and stress were taking a huge toll on my body and I knew that something had to change, and change fast. Serge never told me what to do but presented the truth as he knows it and offered me the space to figure it out for myself, and to make the changes that felt true for me. Like you, every day I say “thank God for Serge Benhayon”.
The concept that we make our own choices which in turn effects how we choose to run our lives is so simple and common sensical, that it makes no sense we do not consider this concept in full until it is presented to us. We may have a bare understanding of this concept but I know for myself my understanding of this concept was both limited and skewed until attending Universal Medicine presentations, yet this concept is something that totally influences our quality of life.
Yes couldn’t agree more tonisteenson, it takes complete acceptance of self- responsibility to allow the fact that everything is a choice, even the most seemingly ‘out of my control’ decisions. I recall this being pivotal to being able to let things go from the past… if any part of me hung onto it being about someone else, then no healing was possible. This concept was never presented (throughout all my New Age searching) until meeting Serge Benhayon, even though responsibility was constantly touted. It’s real meaning was never offered, and hence the root of hurts were never overturned to see how in fact we create them in the first place.
Awesome Rachel. I too am so thankful for meeting Serge Benhayon. My life is amazing and going from strength to strength, and I do not like to contemplate where I would be had I not met Serge. Yet, like you, nothing was given to me other than an amazing reflection of my choices. It was I who chose to deal with my issues, be aware of the energy in which I do all things and commit to caring for myself in a deep and responsible way. Thank you for sharing this appreciation, of Serge, but mostly of yourself for making the choices that you have.
Love this Rachel, you have put into words the story of many many of us who lives have been deeply touched by Serge Benhayon. Where would we be now? I know I was set to keep on repeating my destructive behaviours wallowing in self doubt and self pity spiralling downward. Gone are those days as now I have clear direction and purpose and not because Serge Benhayon ‘saved me’ no because I choose to make loving choices after being shown such a deep level of love and care from a man who loves everybody equally with such tenderness and joy. Everyday I feel truly blessed to have met such a man. I am in deep appreciation for this love in me that has once again been re-ignighted
I agree Rachael Thank God for serge Benhayon and his presentations of the ageless wisdom. Serge is an amazing presenter a vessel clear enough to present the ageless wisdom to humanity. He makes it very clear he does not own this knowledge it is ageless wisdom available to all. Serge shares his lived experience with us with no attachment to us “getting it” we all have free will to live our lives however we choose. Hearing the deep truth in what Serges presentations have opened my eyes to the fact that I am responsible for the choices I make in my life and once I really felt that in my body I could see and feel the consequences of a life time of loveless choices I had made. I now realise I am the only one that can take responsibility for my future choices and I have been inspired to choose to introduce self-love into my life.
With simply living what he presents, Serge Benhayon for me is the most credible and inspirational presenter I have ever met.
For me too, Michael. Consistency is building trust-and I trust Serge 100%
Rachel – I too thank God for Serge Benhayon, at the time I went to his first presentation I was pushing my body to the extreme, lacking confidence and not enjoying life, meeting Serge Benhayon changed everything, his presentations completely made sense and i have made many changes in my life as a result of being inspired by him and now enjoy myself, life and people more and more everyday.
Thank God for Serge Benhayon – I whole-heartedly agree. Thank God there was someone out there who was unafraid to show the world there is a way to live life with love, truth and integrity. It’s hard to express just how deeply I appreciate this man.
Yes Meg well said and I second that, I have no words to describe how deeply thankful I am for Serge Benhayon stepping up and standing for the truth, without him doing this I would be not doing as well as I am doing now. Knowing how to stand for the truth that I know as well.
I’m the same, I have never stood for truth until I was inspired by Serge Benhayon… He lives and breathes the truth, it has inspired me to also stand for what I know is true too.
I know this feeling- words are not enough to describe how much I appreciate and love this man too.
Hear Hear Meg and Rachel – can’t say it too loudly or too often – Thank God for Serge Benhayon and thank Serge for Serge Benhayon and thank God and me for me :)… the true me!!!
Meg, words become almost insulting as they don’t fully express what is there to express, it is indescribable to meet someone who lives their life for love and truth as it is the rarest of things.
Yes Meg and Vanessa. It is almost impossible to describe being in the presence of someone who lives their divinity and shares it unstintingly. You can feel it, and feel the effects of it through the body to the very core as this divine livingness wakens us from the depths of this false way of living we have allowed ourselves to get seduced by.
It is almost impossible to describe I agree, but you can feel in every cell of your body that there is something different about that person, you can feel that their body is more than just their human frame, and there is a depth and wisdom to their presence.
Absolutely Meg. The presence of one such as this has huge yet unimposing transformative affect on all around. And it is at the same time healing and holding in such a deep and tender Love that words cannot describe. This is more than well-being, it is utter joy, beauty, vitality and harmony. And how do we know it? Because we too are it . . .although we have buried it and covered it over with a false way of living.
Yes Meg, it’s true words are inadequate to express the depth of appreciation Serge Benhayon is deserving of, as the impact of his influence is far beyond those expressing on this blog thread. But what is so remarkable is that each person touched directly by his presence and teachings, doesn’t glorify Serge as special, but is able to feel that it is by their own choices that true change occurs. This is the stark and most pivotal difference between a guru and one who is offering a true inspiration for humanity. The appreciation expressed for Serge Benhayon is wholeheartedly deserved, for without it, the way forward is not offered, but is equal for the one who then chooses to do the work required to truly heal.
The start of this blog made me smile as I had very similar thoughts on attending my first presentation by Serge Benhayon “This is not me, I don’t do this sort of thing and who is he anyway?” I was to discover that I had no idea who I was. Every day I thank God for Serge Benhayon and know that I made the right choice to listen, I have found love, friendship, brotherhood, a deeper understanding of the world and Universe we live in and I have found me.
‘I was to discover that I had no idea who I was.’ This made me smile Mary. When I first met Serge Benhayon I thought my issues were me and now I’m discovering I can discard them if I choose and come out into the light. To have someone love me and everyone else so much so that they consistently present none of us are our issues but that we are all so much more whatever the reaction to this presentation of truth, I’ve never experienced aside from Serge Benhayon or outside of Universal Medicine. When I contemplate I am deeply grateful. But the depth of love I feel that is being shown us I know I am only fathoming a fraction of, and this is very humbling and beautiful.
I second every word of your sharing here Rachel. This is such a great testimony of someone who thought they had it all and then being presented with truth.
Serge allowed me too “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.” What I learned through Serge Benhayon was that I have to live being and consistently building awareness to not only see the world in its 3rd dimension, but to know and read it in its 5th. Thank God for Serge Benhayon!!!!
Exactly rachelandras the 5th dimension and everything being energy is what makes the difference to really understanding life and our choices.
I too love the part you’ve highlighted and what I’ve learnt is taking responsibility for everything that I choose to do, every movement, every action and every thought, this is empowering because I can no longer pretend that life just happens, I play every part in it. This realisation leaves no room for blame or finger pointing, we are responsibility for every choice we make, absolutely everything. This was the biggest wake up call for me, it means I have the power to change what is not true or not loving.
I love your appreciation of your self and of your choices and of your courage and of your commitment. This appreciation is the bedrock of the ‘love building’ you have built.
Great comment ottobathurst, I totally agree!
Yes Otto I couldn’t agree more. Rachel’s appreciation and commitment to her self is truly inspirational.
A direct, straightforward blog Rachel and a celebration of all the steps you and so many have been inspired to take, thank God for the rainbow that is the Benhayon family.
“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.”This brought tears to my eyes Rachel saying “yes” to things I would normally have said No” to has had a profound affect on my life and has opened me up to world that deep down I knew but did not know how to connect to. I too thank God for Serge Benhayon for showing us all what true love is.
Yes indeed Alison – thank God for Serge for showing us what true love is – which is another way of saying thank God for Serge for showing us God as God is love. Before meeting Serge Benhayon I had a life time of experiencing what was not love, but had never met someone who lived a truly loving life. We all have many experiences of what is not love and of emotions masquerading as love whereas true love does not have one ounce of emotion in it. To be met by the Divine quality of true love has had a totally transformational effect on my life. Serge Benhayon by living and expressing from his essence and from his Divine source provides a reflection and living example for others to reconnect to and express from their own essence. Living in that way feels very joyful and miraculous and yet incredibly natural and normal at the same time.
I have just had an experience of being the object of finger pointing, blaming and a situation quite out of control. It is huge to feel it and stay steady and not ‘take it on’. All my life I have hidden from such behaviour or taken it on as being my fault. The amazing support I have been given by Serge Benhayon has been about accepting that no matter what comes at us in life, there is a way to hold a deep connection to our stillness and not shrink away from who we are. So I totally agree Rachel, Thank God for Serge Benhayon.
You have expressed your experience of finger pointing beautifully Simon Voysey. Thanks for sharing “that no matter what comes at us in life, there is a way to hold a deep connection to our stillness and not shrink away from who we are”.
Serge Benhayon has the beautiful ability to present very simply and in great detail – what it is we can all feel inside is missing from the world in how we live, work, interact, communicate and get by each day in our modern daily lives. Game changing, ground breaking and world changing. You have presented the effects of his work with so many people here beautifully Rachel.
Absolutely Simon, Serge Benhayon’s presentations are “Game changing, ground breaking and world changing” and at the same time feel so completely natural. It’s like being reminded of something you know deep down but had forgotten or ignored.
I remember as a kid there were these books and you read so far and the story came to a cross road. You then were given 2 options and you turned to the page of your choice and the story lead you in a different direction to the other choice. These stories are like our lives. We have choices presented to us every day and each choice leads us in a new direction. If we did choose the other option what would our life be like now? Spoiler alert, everyone’s story has the same ending.
I remember the pick a path books Lindellparlour. True that every moment is a pick a path moment. Until I met Serge Benhayon all my choices led me around in the same circles, albeit with slight variety of flavours. Only after meeting Serge Benhayon have I had true choice in my life, and been able to choose the path of freeing myself from old worn out cycles, and keep rechoosing this in every moment. Thank God for Serge Benhayon, lest I’d have been perpetually stuck chasing my tail like some very bad repetitive novel.
I agree Kate, Serge’s presentations have given us the option to view our lives and the world differently. The loving choices that we make expose old patterns and cycles and we then have another choice to deal with them or burry them further into our body. It is very freeing and liberating to deal with old patterns and release their hold on us.
I adore this piece Rachel – partly because of your writing style which is just so you and so gorgeous, partly because I get to join you in celebrating you and your choices, partly because it reminds me how hugely grateful I am for having also met Serge Benhayon, and also a chance to take stock of my own choices and how far I have come. I love the line: “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.”
Hear! Hear! Kate. I join you and Rachel in being hugely grateful for having met Serge Benhayon. There are many others who would also agree that Serge Benhayon “opened up my eyes to everything I had been searching for in my life, and more”.
Gorgeous Ariana
Allowing a moments reflection for each dot point is incredible – I cannot say thank God for Serge Benhayon enough – from the rooftops Thank God for Serge Benhayon.
Reflecting on – how far we have come, – where we would be today without him, – recognising the abuse we would still be living if we had not met him…. this brought me to a complete stop and wow moment. Had I continued on the trajectory I was on, as Rachel shares, I was on a fast track to cancer, arthritis and more, as well as likely early onset dementia – there was less than no quality in my life, and abuse reined in all I was and did, even though it looked fluffy enough on the surface, it was hollow and lacking any lived substance, and I pretty much went around apologising for existing. The empowerment of reclaiming a life of love, a full and loving life, knowing our worth and the difference we constantly make in the world – is almost beyond words of gratitude – there could be no greater shift, how I live now is quantum leaps from the trajectory I was on – without Serge Benhayon I would be utterly lost.
Beautiful Rachel, I’m applauding because I reckon this blog speaks for many of us, change the surface details and we each could have written something similar and all be asking – “Where on earth would I be now if I hadn’t met Serge Benhayon?” I have recently thought this many times myself, figuring I would still be a physical and emotional wreck from the effects of insomnia, my past hurts, and giving up on finding a sense of purpose in myself and the illusive divinity I wanted to connect back to. I know I was also heading towards physical illness. This blog is a great moment for us all to look back and take stock of the incredible changes we have made with the support of Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and Esoteric Women’s Health, there is so much to appreciate. Thankyou Serge.
I am in awe of the way Serge Benhayon has allowed myself and many others (including you Rachel) to connect to the fact that responsibility is the only way back to our natural harmonious way. It is miraculous to me because I tried so many other things that did not truly help me to take responsibility. I was seeking people to heal me rather than taking responsibility for my choices. The difference – Serge Benhayon walks the talk and what a magnificent walk it is.
Thank you Leonne. Taking responsibility for our every choice is one of the major keys to truly changing our life and the way we live. This is so empowering, because no one can do this for us, we have to commit to making the choice to take responsibility or not. Relying on others to fix what is not working for us will never work because true change comes from within and from ourselves first. One person can inspire another and so on and so on. Serge Benhayon has inspired thousands of people by simply sharing his wisdom and livingness.
Here here Leonne – well said.
A deeply honouring account of how far you’ve come Rachel, along with many others….The genuine respect and love you have expressed for Serge and his true support of you is a joy to read. It is written with a balanced and a very real perspective of things which is accessible for all to read and connect with…
I agree Rachel, the way in which Rachel shares with us you can feel her on the page. Her love, her enthusiasm, her appreciation – all palpable.
Thank you for this statement Rachel, as this is what it actually truly is, it is a blessing that Serge is part of our lives and as you say, I do not know where I would have been now if I didn’t meet Serge in this life, probably with some serious illness like we see that many have in our nowadays societies such as heart disease and cancer to name a few. But on the other hand I have to appreciate myself and the power God has, that I have listened to his call to come together again in this life which has brought me to Serge Benhayon, the new world teacher of our age through with we will find our ways back to where we originally come from.
Yes Rachel. Me too, I thank God for Serge Benhayon every moment I realise and appreciate a change I have implemented as a result of Serge and Universal Medicine. So you could say that means in everything I do everyday as everything has changed from the emotional wreck of a life I used to live. And will say it again “Thank God for Serge” as I could not even dream of going back to where I have come from.
Hi Rachel, I know that feeling of considering my life had I not said yes to what is being presented by Serge as a choice of my own. The middle aged spread, the deep resentment of being the provider, the resignation to life being nothing more than something to get through…ALL gone, not in an instant and not by some magic of Serge but by MY choices (150% inspired by the magic of Serge!).
I am going to up it here Joel, and say a billion percent inspired by Serge Benhayon 🙂 and other practitioner such as Sara Williams and Simone Benhayon naming still only a few. And I agree this is an important appreciation to feel and acknowledge.
I found myself at maybe that same workshop on the hill feeling just as you describe Rachel – although I hadn’t considered yoghurt weaving a possiblity! Reading this blog is like a mirror image of my experience (and I have no doubt of many others). And the reason for that similarity is that just as you say in a few gentle breaths and simple words we are handed back the keys to self-mastery and brotherhood in the truest sense.
In life there’s no accident or happenstance to the places and people that we see. Each and every part of it is designed perfectly. Beautiful to appreciate the gifts these moments offer and in particular, the beauty and the power that Serge Benhayon brings. In appreciating and celebrating this love Rachel, it is like you are opening the door for more. When you do, it’s like God thanks you.
Yes Joseph it is beautiful to open up to the power of appreciation in all areas of our lives and for me Serge Benhayon has inspired me to do this and given me a road map to negotiate life and for this I will always be grateful.
Heartfelt appreciation for this blog Rachel, I had to smile when I read about your first experience of Serge Benhayon presenting, as I was skeptical, but my body went “Yes this is true, I know this, thank you for speaking it out loud”. The gentle breath meditation was so divine to feel, and the technique so simple to remember. The love and integrity and wisdom of this man is immense. And yes to appreciating my willingness to take responsibility for myself and my life.
Absolutely Rachel, thank God for Serge Benhayon… but I love how you also appreciate yourself here… for even though Serge is indeed a blessing, it is our choice to align to what he has presented and then live the life we want through the choices we make. We have said yes and considering the lives some of us were leading, that absolutely deserves celebrating too.
Absolutely Samantha, thank God for Serge Benhayon, but as you point out we then had a choice, to align with what Serge Benhayon presents or to walk away. So appreciating ourselves for continuing to live in the way Serge Benhayon presents and inspire.
I totally agree Samantha, we are here together because of our past choices. We chose this for this lifetime very long ago, and here we are together again!
Everything you have said here Rachael is my experience as well. It is us who has decided through more loving choices to change our lives and change my life I did. The way of living that Serge Benhayon presents makes a lot more sense to me then the way society lives presently.
Rachel your comment that the presentation that you went to turned out to be a ‘true turning point’ really caught my attention as for me, like many, I have many points in my life that I have considered to be turning points but looking back they actually weren’t at all. In fact not only were they not turning points but they mascaraded as turning points when really what they were delivering was ‘more of the same but just a different flavour’. An example of what I am talking about is when I became a yoga teacher, I thought that it was taking me in a truer direction, when all along it was actually taking me the same way but deceived me into believing that I was going somewhere authentic. Same, same but different.
Well said Alexis. As I read your comment I had a feeling of being turned 360 degrees – so in effect full circle and back onto the same path. Meeting Serge Benhayon though was a true turning point – or a ‘returning point’ – a 180 degree turn to look back within to the love we already are. As many have already said – thank God for Serge Benhayon.
I too have been wondering where I would be without Serge Benhayon Rachel, and I know that I most certainly would not be here today. This is not an understatement. I have every moment of the life I now live to fully appreciate my choices, and to appreciate every ounce of the inspiration I have received from Serge through his each and every choice.
It is a very scary thought to think about what life would be like without Serge Benhayon. A really scary thought.
I can’t help wonder where I’d be right now without the stars aligning the way they did as well Rachel. Serge Benhayon is a divine reflection of love, a true inspiration and I am grateful that I am choosing to make more loving choices in my life as well.
Your honesty and commitment to feel the truth within you is super inspiring Rachel. This blog is one that many people can relate to, including myself. Thank you and thank god for Serge Benhayon.
Despite the dissatisfaction you lived with Rachel and being on the road to burn out, you were almost protective of your choices in the face of any equally dissatisfying alternatives – until you heard and felt the truth. For me Serge Benhayon’s life lived and shared according to The Ancient Wisdom, is like being given the key to the door of home that we lost when we wandered through it, ‘once upon a time’. As you say, this could ‘irrefutably not be denied, even though my mind was screaming, desperately trying to hold on to its configured way of being.’ Thank God for Serge Benhayon, who has directed us back home if we chose the path. The keys are simply our choices every step of the way.
What a beautiful testimonial Rachel. Like you, the first time I heard Serge Benhayon speak I knew I’d found what I’d been looking for – and believe me, I’d been looking for a long time. I had had short lived periods of discovery in the past but they were always followed by an emptiness and dissatisfaction afterwards. Partial truths and partial answers inevitably led to disappointment. It wasn’t until I heard Serge speak that I knew I had the full package. There hasn’t been a moment of disappointment since, instead an ever expanding understanding of myself and life. I too thank God for Serge Benhayon, and I could leave it there. But Serge didn’t make the changes in my life – I made them. So I thank God for Serge shining the light AND my willingness to look at what needed to change in the way I was living. I feel very blessed for the ever unfolding life I have today.
Well claimed judyfelix – your self-appreciation here is important and inspiring.
I love the end paragraph Rachel. And this part “So I can’t help wonder where I’d be now without the stars aligning the way they did” I feel the same. Who knows where I would be. But certainly, thank god for Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and myself for listening to those stars.
The stars aligned the day Rachel was born. Thank God for Serge Benhayon and thank Rachel for being another bright light that people can see and reflect on in their own journey.
You know, it’s interesting this. And is something that I have often asked “where would I be if I hadn’t found Serge Benhayon”. And what I reckon is that I have absolutely no idea and that actually it could have all gotten pretty ugly. Because I was definitely ready, willing and wanting to find the truth….so if I had denied that from myself then goodness knows where I might have ended up. Anyway, that’s all irrelevant, because I DID find Serge Benhayon. Whoohooooo.
I join you in your Woooohooooooooo! Otto. It’s a celebration of life.
hahah Whooohoooo indeed Otto!!!!
Me too. I have a fair idea where I would be, much of the same only more deeply entrenched. So incredible and such a blessing to be largely free of the unloving choices of the past.
Yes, thank God for Serge Benhayon – a man who isn’t afraid to speak and share Truth 100% of the time 24/7 (minus a few hours sleep here and there) His dedication and commitment to humanity, and the consistent love and integrity he offers everyone is so very inspiring. Meeting him was certainly a life changer for me too – in many different ways and on many levels.
Amazing that one man speaking simply can have such a profound effect on so many people’s lives. Thank you Serge Benhayon and thank you Rachel Hall for expressing on behalf of so many.
Yes, Adam – I absolutely agree with what you and others have written. Many people could change a few details here and there, but ultimately still all agree that atttending their first Universal Medicine presentation and listening to what Serge Benhayon had to say has been a defining moment in their lives.
So many lives and not just those who are students of Universal Medicine but all that come into contact with them as well, the ripples of love spread far and wide.
Agreed, thank God for Serge Benhayon! Who would of thought teachings such as “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;” is not common knowledge and the very basic thing we are taught in our day to day. I may have known it inside but it was certainly not the level of integrity that I lived in my younger years.
I don’t think you’re being melodramatic Rachel when you describe where you were heading before meeting Serge Benhayon. I’m sure I would be in similar dire straits without his support and my choice to change how I live.
I too thank God for Serge Benhayon everyday for the same reasons you have expressed Rachel. Hear! Hear! Beautiful post and so true for all of us.
Meeting Serge Benhayon was certainly a turning point in my life too Rachel. I knew from the first workshop that I attended that I had met truth and that I could not turn away from what was offered to explore. My life was on a negative trajectory until I realised that yes, I am responsible for me and began making more nurturing choices for myself. My worldview and understanding is forever expanding, wheras before it was getting narrower and narrower. He is a gift to the world, walking the Way in support of us all so that we can find our way. Beyond beautiful, what he has brought is totally awesome. He is the mirror that allows us to see our true reflection.
Another cracker post Rachel. I love your cynical background before attending a Universal Medicine Workshop. By the time I made it to a UniMed event I was pretty ready to hear what Serge had to say…but only a couple of years before I was ready to rip shreds off anything that asked me to take responsibility. I had tried a few alternative type therapies, that were recommend to me when I was in a depressed and very lost state and although I didn’t believe for a second that they would even touch the sides – I did them in the hope that I could prove to everyone that it was all rubbish and that I was the saddest person in the world who deserved everyone’s sympathy! HA – how gross!!!! Alas, some stuff made sense and I began to open up to the possibility that I am not a victim. So when UniMed came into my life, I was far more open and ready to take control of my life. It’s very possible I too could be in a very very different place in my life now had I not chosen to align to what feels true to me.
‘my life has gone from good to great, to ‘pinch me now’ it is so incredible I can’t believe its true’. Same here. And all because I learned from Serge Benhayon about the fact that my life is as it is as a direct result of the choices I make, so I chose to begin to make different choices.
I agree Rachel, meeting Serge completely tuned my life around. Thank God he is in my life and I know there are many many others who feel the same.
Yep- so many others Susan. Meeting Serge Benhayon leaves such an impression.
Good one Rachel. I was doey and grumpy when I started reading and ended-up smiling inside after having being reminded of the power of choice.
Oliver each moment an opportunity for second chances…and to make new choices – it certainly takes the pressure off and makes total sense.
How amazing evolution is always there for us, opportunties present themselves over and over again, until we say yes and choose to be at the right place at the right time. How awesome we are and life is. How awesome you are God and Serge. Just how awesome to have a body and to have responsibility!
And there it is in it’s simplicity. You somehow got yourself to a presentation by Serge Benhayon and allowed the truth to permeate through all your previous choices until that moment. And when we embrace truth, life changes. Your story is inspiring through the roof Rachel and you are a shining example of one who would appear stubborn, but when faced with the facts about truth and love, your heart melts. Beautiful.
AWESOME words Rachel : “….having said yes to being in the right place at the right time” – so true and affirms that everything is indeed about timing. I often wonder too on my life without the Truth/Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. It would be pretty much empty, dullness, as it was prior to my meeting with Love 9 years ago. Words cannot express the magnitude of the growth, expansion, joy, contentment and absolute sense being touched and held by the living Truth of Serge and what he (and now us all here) stand for. Family: Brotherhood. As it is.
‘Thank God for Serge Benhayon’ indeed. My life was heading down a pretty dark road when I first met Serge. He showed me that the light switch to light my way is and always was in my own hands.
Beautifully said Lucy, “He showed me that the light switch to light my way is and always was in my own hands.” Serge Benhayon is able to empower so many, so simply, without an ounce of imposing.
Hear Hear Rachel!
I will sing from the roof tops ‘thank God for Serge Benhayon!’
Many, many lives have been changed to a truer way of being through his reflection, support and inspiration. Many know who he truly is and what he has done and is here to do.
One day the world will also know this.
And once you know the Truth – there is NO turning back, as our Hearts recognised the Truth being presented and a Joy forever the Marker and way forth. Yes, Thank God for Serge Benhayon.
Serge’s simplicity and gentleness and truth in his whole being is exactly what allowed be to surrender slowly slowly and ever so caringly and supportively to who I truly am- who I live today.
I knew from the first time I saw and felt him that he was living vitality and truth.
Beautiful sharing johanna08smith, Serge Benhayon’s lived choices emanate far beyond his being for all to feel the truth of love, life and God.
I read the first two lines of this blog Rachel- and thought ‘oh my god’, I dread to think what my life would have been like if I had not come across Serge Benhayon.
Scary, isn’t it? My life – if I would be still alive, what is questionable – would be so different. In a bad bad way.
Yes – thank God for Serge Benhayon – the only true teacher who has made simple and liveable the Ageless Wisdom I have always known within me but was too battered by the world to see clearly that I am the One to bring this Wisdom forth until now.
Beautifully said Gemma – we are all ‘the one’. 🙂
I just had to write a little more, Rachel, I so love this line “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.” This so resonates with me, the knowing and feeling that I truly come from God and am divine is so, so huge in my life now.
Thank you Beverley your words were delivered to me at the exact right time.
Hello Rachel Hall and thank God for you indeed. This line about Serge Benhayon pretty much sums it up for me, “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.” It is truly that simple.
It is that simple indeed, “a few words and some gentle breaths” and the rest is up to me, up to us. Take it or leave it, but when you take it and start making different choices, everything truly changes. Thank God for Serge Benhayon.
Hello Gabriele Conrad and well said. What are we all waiting for then or what are we afraid of?
So true Raymond. A simple reflection that offers amazing insight into our choices and the world around us.
Yes Raymond, there is the genius in simplicity as I believe Leonardo Da Vinci once stated, we don’t actually need a lot of words to change our ways, just a connection to something that feels true, and Serge Benhayon delivers that like no other, making sense where often I feel confused and he offers so much in simplicity which we can choose to consider or not.
Hello Stephen G and I love the clear truth in that and here is a couple from Henry David Thoreau, “Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify.” and “As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness.” Thank you Stephen.
It is that simple Raymond and even though my mind does not like to hear, it is so simple, sometimes how I now feel in my body and the quality of the life I now lead compared to how I used to feel and live before I met Serge Benhayon is undeniable.
This line summed it up for me too Raymond. My eyes and my ears and actually my whole body opened fully to receive the truth that Serge was presenting and delivering and in which I had always known but had not yet integrated in my life.
Hello jacqmcfadden04 and this confirms what many of us know but possibly don’t appreciate. The moment you say ‘yes’ to what you have seen or heard then that same quality you see/hear is within you equally. All the things you or we appreciate in Serge Benhayon are absolutely true, he is all of these but equally we are the same, you are the only one that can turn away from this truth because it is there now plain as day. Thank you Jac.
As it does for me Raymond, here is a man that has lived what he presents so deeply that is only took a mere few sentences and practice exercise to be reconnected to such divine truth.
Agreed Raymond Karam. What Serge Benhayon presents is profoundly simple and very very real. Listening to him speak is like listening to someone tell you everything you already knew but never had the words or the ‘know how’. Thanking God for Serge is something I do every day as I continue to take responsibility for my choices, my health and my life.
I love this Sara Harris and the way you have said it, “Thanking God for Serge is something I do every day as I continue to take responsibility for my choices, my health and my life.” The fact of you taking “responsibility for my choices, my health and my life” is all the thanks and appreciation that anyone would need. This is and has never been about glorifying any one person but about people, us, doing as you say. I will enjoy the way you have written this for a while, thank you Sara.
I too, Rachel, give thanks to God for Serge Benhayon daily and to myself for the choice to truly listen to Serge and take notice of the role model that he truly is. I feel I was heading for a terrible old age, probably with dementia or alzheimers and riddled with arthritis. This choice to completely change the way I was living has led to a truly remarkable life now, full of joy, lots of friends and a feeling of such deep love within. It is still very much a work in progress, still old patterns to be rid of but so very worthwhile to make the effort.
Beverley you have brought up another point for me to also appreciate, and that is since working with Universal Medicine just how many new and completely amazing loving friendships I have. I am thriving within a new social network and this has also had a very positive effect on my health and life. I have learned so much about relationships and relating to others since attending the Universal Medicine workshops and have also met truly amazing people at their events. Considering I was shut off from people prior to Universal Medicine this is quite miraculous.
There is no turning back, this is true Coleen – for this is reconnected to the pain of turning away from your love again and that is excruciating. Some have turned back but this is because they are not yet ready, and some will only go so far and some will commit to expressing their love in full again. I choose the latter but this does not mean that your life is instantly all roses. It takes work everyday and it means that you have to take responsibility of the mess that you have made, but it is worth every effort to be with your divine love again and to have that in your body and to share that with all others.
There is a lot of wisdom in the presentations books and audios that Serge Benhayon delivers far and wide . The ageless wisdom teachings offer humanity a lot to ponder on, very much in contrast to the emotional circus we have been led to believe life is meant to be .I too can vouch for the sober clarity and consistency I have gained in my life by attending courses and presentations held by Universal medicine and Serge Benhayon.
I was pondering just the other day where I would be now if I hadn’t come across Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, for I know I too would not have taken responsibility for my life and choices if I hadn’t met Serge Benhayon and I thank God for that often. But until reading this, I had never considered thanking myself for making the choice to go along for a healing from Serge, or for my decision to go along to my first Universal Medicine teachings and workshops. So I also “say yes I thank God for Serge Benhayon and yes thank God to me for having said yes to being in the right place at the right time”.
Hear, hear Rachel and deidremedbury in saying thank God for Serge Benhayon for showing us the way back to ourselves, and to ourselves for saying yes to this and facing and dealing with everything that gets in our way of just being our true selves.
We all have our stopping points and yes, thank God for Serge Benhayon who was right there at the right time for us all.
My life since in the last few years seems like a continuous miracle unfolding of perfectly timed events and opportunities. It could be put down to coincidence, however, I know there is nothing random about it. It is the result of my choices. By continuing to choose love, there seems to be an expansive quality to life, one that I had always thought unfathomable. I too thank God for Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine for supporting me to become aware that I did indeed have a choice.
Hear hear Rachel!! Thank you God for Serge and all that he brings to anyone he meets. Never before have I met a man with such intergrity in everything that he does, or seen such an amazing reflection of what living can be when you start making the choices that you and body need.
What you share Rachel is no doubt a similar story to many people. Some of us come across Serge in person, at presentations and workshops and others through audio’s and books, but those that do are often changed forever. This is also the case with me. I can’t imagine where I would be now if I hadn’t come across Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. Most likely very very deep in the spiritual new age circuit, sitting at the feet of a guru and continuously giving my power away to others who I think know more than me. Serge offers us equally the opportunity to step up to the fact that we are the Sons of God. For this, I will be forever grateful.
Hear hear Racheal Hall, I couldn’t agree with you more. I just feel so blessed to know this man and am eternally thankful to the magnetic pull that brought me to meet the person who’s patience and love turned my life around, like so many others. I was so numbed out I thought my life was fine but also knew that there was far more to this existence on earth than I was willing to admit. Serge taught me the beauty in being tender and gentle, something I will cherish for the rest of my life.
Oh gosh, your blog moved me to tears this morning. I love how simply and straight-up-ly (new word!) you have written about you and your relationship with yourself and Serge Benhayon. I think you write for many here and I feel inspired by so many who have also decided to heal their past, be open to love, to each other, to ourselves, to live in a more gentle and loving way, to claim our power and who we truly are and to learn to let go of what is not us. It is what the world needs and I thank God for all of us and Serge Benhayon and you Rachel for writing about it today.
Yes Rachel Thank God for both of you. Thank god you have been able to relay in words the essence of how it is to actually appreciate what Serge Benhayon so lovingly shares with all so we can appreciate the all we are. I just love and deeply appreciate your sharing; it is so deeply connecting, confirming and simply beautiful.
1. Often while driving I ponder on where my life would be if I had of allowed myself to go, ‘I’m not going to Sacred Estoteric Healing level one’. It was definitely on the cards to bail on the course because I was hungover from an accidental drinking session the night before. I thought oh how foolish to be going to a healing course but be hungover, I’m not going! But I had searched every modality from reiki to cupping to chiropractors, you name it, to fix my lower back pain and my left leg pain. If it wasn’t for physical pain and being determined to heal it and figure out why it was there, I would still be stuck in all the old patterns of disregarding my body and wondering why I lived with pain and why I couldn’t heal it no matter health regime and exercise program I put myself on and through. At level one everything felt true and despite not hearing certain words before that Serge used I could feel an enormous truth to the presentation. Being weary of anything that spoke about God and truths I was challenged thinking am I being a fool to believe this. Over a two week period I polished off the book, ‘The Way It Is’ and for the first time in my life realised I was in the presence of true love and truth. Since then I’ve never looked back. Sure there’s been challenges, as you say Rachel, but when you choose to be love after a lifetime of being loveless then that lovelessness has to come out of the body and sometimes that doesn’t feel too nice. Each moment I’ve had to unfold through has confirmed all Serge Benhayon has said as being complete truth. Thanks to Serge and my own choices to take responsibility for my wellbeing and to be a seeker of truth I now know I am in fact a Son of God and I am divine. Each day I’m grateful for meeting Serge and all the Benhayons, practioners and the student body. My life has so much understanding and joy in it now and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in this world.
The work of Serge Benhayon has also completely changed my life, and I too am truly grateful.
A joy to read this Rachel, and I agree with you one billion percent. There are countless others, including myself, who would have a similar story and what is so inspiring and significant is what Serge Benhayon presents and continues to inspire with: that we are all responsible for our choices, that we are not victims in life but the orchestrators of it, and that with a foundation of love and care from choosing to be loving with ourselves we can re-imprint every ill choice we’ve made. Life is not meant to be arduous, tough and full of highs and lows with misery as its undercurrent. Life can and ought to be expansive and amazing. Thank God for Serge Benhayon reminding humanity that this is the way.
There are now thousands of unique stories that all end with “Thank God for Serge Benhayon!” Thanks for sharing yours.
I love your absoluteness Rachel in knowing the truth about how you came to be living the life you live today. Serge Benhayon in my experience also has never dictated what I should do. I have only ever been inspired to realise that I am always making choices, even when I thought that I didn’t want to make a choice. This has been immensely empowering as I have discovered that I am responsible for the way my life is lived and that it is only through my choices that I can live in connection to who I truly am within and live the quality of life that I am divinely designed to live. What I see in Serge Benhayon is the result of a man constantly and consistently choosing to be and live the divine Love that he knows he is, and he only ever reflects this grandness of divine Love which is who we all equally are and can live, together. Yes absolutely, thank God for Serge Benhayon.
Rachel thank you for sharing how you took responsibility to heal your past and deal with things that seemed out of your control. From what you share you have taken some big leaps forward from where you were because of this – all from an encounter with a man named Serge Benhayon.
I too thank God for Serge Benhayon, his wisdom, love for humanity and his willingness to live in an inspirational way, showing all that it can be done should we so choose.
I second that Carmin – I feel so much appreciation for what Serge brings for all equally so. I really did not know what love was until he reintroduced to me and all of us.
Carmin, you have summed it up so well. My life is amazing now for knowing Serge Benhayon and attending his presentations about the way to live lovingly and make choices accordingly.
Answering the call of humanity as Serge Benhayon does is nothing short of mind blowingly extraordinary, equally to make the call as you had done, and so many many others have also, even if without truly realising it at the time, marks a point where all we’ve known before is no longer the same. Appreciating the magic of this feels so very important. Thank you for sharing your ponderings Rachel it has ignited my own.
Yes Rachel, Serge Benhayon presents that we have choices and it’s the choice of energy that we breathe in and with that I have found the most important fact to be aware of in my life. From the Gentle Breath Meditation I have experienced living a new life from my own essence and with a vitality that keeps regenerating everyday.
I love this line Rachel: “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.” For there’s absolutely no one that gets Love for nothing or out of something outside of themselves. This takes every ‘putting-Serge-Benhayon-on-a-pedestral’ out of the way. Because it is not Serge that has to choose differently. But boy oh boy is he an inspiration and a living example that we all can be the Son of God living forth The Way.
Absolutely thank you God, indeed Rachel!
Thank God for Rachel Hall too! Your sharing is honest, frank and straight to the point as well as full of appreciation for Serge Benhayon and what he has helped open up for you in the way of understanding and choices. You speak for many of us indeed – I too have often sat down to reflect upon how I ended up coming across Universal Medicine and how this has completely transformed my life bringing levels and depth of quality beyond what I could ever imagine. Like you though, those uf us who have encountered and embraced Universal Medicine can now say ‘thank God for ourselves’ with regards to the choices we have made in life that have lead us back here now. The choice to attend the first presentation by Serge Benhayon was not the obvious life changer for me, but from here I heard about the EBM (Esoteric Breast Massage) and so I booked in for some and lo and behold: it was the second EBM that I had, that made me suddenly and irrefutably say ‘thank God for Serge Benhayon and what he brings’ and this was the game changer for me – the moment of realisation in my life and why I was/am here – one of the most powerful things we can ever realise.
You took the words right out of my mouth Rachel. Serge Benhayon has been an inspiration since I first met him. In fact that was the word that kept coming to me in my first ever session with him. It has been from the inspiration that he holds that I too have chosen to return to a way of being and living that is in honour of the divinity from which we are all from.
Thank God indeed Rachel Hall. I do too, for where, I wonder, would I be now without having apparently stumbled across him and his great work? There is no stumbling of course, because no matter how we are living we all know truth. We either heed its call or we fight it tooth and nail. I thank God that I heeded its call.
Great blog, great point Rachel. What Serge Benhayon “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”. Thank you Rachel and thank God for Serge Benhayon.
Rachel, of course your meeting was not by chance and what an amazing impact one man can have on the world. However as you say there is no pressure in what is presented but when presented with the truth we all know it and then the choice is up to us- total self responsibility. Your story is our story too – I am thanking God for Serge Behnahyon.
I totally agree Rachel, thank God for Serge Benhayon. His presentations and the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom prompted me to challenge the many ideals and beliefs that were controlling my life. Gradually, through starting to deal with past hurts and making choices that were loving and honouring of my body, I’m living with a level of love, joy and harmony that I would not have thought possible in the past.
When I met Serge Benhayon the first time presenting a workshop in London I was as well very sceptical as I actually was tired of seeing and listening to another teacher about lifestyle, spirituality and alike, but a friend who I hadn´t seen for some years was actually the only person of many that I knew were engaged with some form of ‘finding one’s self’ and or spiritual pursuit that had truly changed for the better since attending Universal Medicine courses. So, despite my scepticism and weariness to continue ‘seeking the deeper purpose of life’ I felt there was something regarding Serge´s teachings I needed to check out for myself, and so I did and still do till today. And indeed, during that first workshop in my mind I was jumping up every 5 minutes to disagree but my feeling was telling me differently – there was touched upon an inner knowing, a certainness saying: “Yes, and I always have known that to be true without ever allowing that knowing to come to my full awareness.”
It is amazing how we need a person living live Serge to reflect back to us the very fact that we are making choices that are creating the very situation we find ourselves in whether that situation be what we consider good or bad. It really is all there with us all the time and sometimes we have ignored the fact for so long we need a reminder of what living our true inner truth can actually be like.
Same here, Rachel. Thank God for Serge Benhayon and for me choosing to change the way I was living. If it wasn’t for meeting Serge Benhayon I would most likely be a very depressed, resentful, sick with a thyroid condition, exhausted woman and blaming others for not loving me (enough).
I love the seemingly randomness of how I came to meet Serge Benhayon. I can remember attending my first workshop and crying knowing I was coming home after my life of searching in all the wrong places. I am so thankful to have met him as he consistently shows me, as do the many people he’s inspired, the love that we all are and is available to us through our choices.
Strong and powerful article Rachel, it is not melodramatic at all, I like your honesty and your sharing is important. The fact that you are aware that you are making choices and that this comes with responsibility is brilliant and truly honest. I have found my way too, and I will know forever that I can not step away from my power in all the choices I make, being it a force (not so good) I use or my true strenght and power – makes all of a difference. I trust in my power again now. So Yes Rachel, Thank you Serge Benhayon for standing tall and bright and showing us that there is one truth that is for all
Wow – powerful blog, thank you Rachel. It’s amazing how things come together to form a chain of events which lead us to be in the right place at the right time. No such thing as coincidence.
Where would I be without the support of Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon? For sure not where I am now, more joyfull, I love my job and feel vital and light. As before I was resentful, tired and heavy. Great how you mention that Serge Benhayon is not the one who is coming to save us, or give enlightenment or even a magic pill to bliss out or make it better. We are making our own self loving choices and that’s making all the difference of the world.
And thank God for you Rachel Hall, writing an epic blog which is so relate-able while not holding back an inch. There is certainly no magic pill or mysterious “cure-all” in what Serge Benhayon presents – as you say, he simply allows one to feel that we have choices and we have hurts and we can either keep on avoiding those hurts and getting through the best we can or we can choose to acknowledge their existence, get support in healing them and begin to make choices that truly support us.
Absolutely gorgeous Rachel, a true testimonial to Serge Benhayon and you, and I am with you 100 per cent. I count myself indeed blessed that my life also configured to take me all the way from England unknowingly into Serge Benhayon’s back yard so that I had the opportunity to change a way of being that had been going on for years and in all probability lifetimes.
I absolutely agree. A man that has through his living example called me into responsibility to lovingly take my life in my own hands.
Rachel – I can so relate to what you are say. I say too “Thank God for Serge Benhayon and thank God for the choices I have made along the way to be in the right place at the right time!” As you say Coleen – no turning back…
The man himself, Serge Benhayon, is a phenomenal leader, philanthropist, philosopher, author, presenter, confidant, father, friend and much more. The huge respect he has gained from thousands of people all over the world is a clear reflection of his deeply humanitarian nature and relentless love and support of people. He is a true lover of people and a wonderful role model to young and old, men and women. It has been an absolute privilege to know Serge and his family over the past 10 years.
The clarity and conviction of your expression Dean Pierra is itself the perfect testament to Serge Benhayon. I’m guessing there is no way you would have spoken like that before you met him?
It is so great to appreciate how far we have come through having Serge Benhayon in our lives. It sure has changed mine dramatically, as I can feel the way I was heading at the time would never have brought me to the point I am at now.
The idea of taking care of my body was first presented to me by Serge. It was not just about exercise or eating a healthy diet. He shared how important it was to listen to the messages our body is constantly sending. I truly started to care for myself and treat my body with respect, after attending workshops presented by Serge. I also got to grips with the word ‘love’ in connection with myself. Not something I had felt comfortable with before. I look back now and I know if I had continued in the way I was, I am sure I would have some very serious health problems now.
Rachel, I loved reading your blog. I feel a similar gratitude to Serge for being the loving and inspiring man he is. From his presentations ‘choices’ was and still is the key word for me. It’s also in your blog. Just to know I had them, and that I had the power to make different choices was a revelation to me.
Absolutely brilliant!
“No, what (Serge Benhayon) 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.”
Yes, that is it.
And yes, absolutely thank God for Serge Benhayon!
It is important for us to express how much of an impact someone has had on our life, how much someone has inspired us to make loving and true changes, in this case Serge Benhayon. It is also important to claim our part in those changes because the two go together. Firstly, the inspiration from Serge to change and secondly, our decision to implement the changes needed. This then allows us to take responsibility for our own lives rather than give our power away to another for the changes we have made.
Beautifully said Robyn!
Great point, robynjones11. We are all the same. By our livingness and what we know to be truth and by claiming it and taking responsibility we become an inspiration for others. What Serge reflect to us, we reflect to the rest of the world, becoming one.
Rachel, this really couldn’t be said any better than this: “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.” Gorgeous blog, thank you.
Rachel, what a great confirmation of all of the self-loving choices you have made… Inspired by Serge Benhayon.
I love the way you have summarised what Serge presents about choices.. Reading that paragraph was like, yes, yes, yes! Choosing to heal opens the way for a truer way of being. Love what you have shared.. With appreciation.
We are made up of more love than we can imagine, made manifest when we give ourselves permission to live it once more. Thank God for the light of God in us all. And thank God that there are always those such as Serge Benhayon who are willing to go first and be a guiding light in the shadows deep.
Yes Liane thank God for the light of God that is within all of us, always, even when we forget and choose to express the opposite. And thank God for those among us through the ages like Serge Benhayon, that are willing to light the way back to who we truly are, that lovingly hold a mirror of our true selves even when we resist it, that patiently without judgment or pressure wait and provide any support needed for us to find our own way.
A great sharing Rachel Hall and deeply confirming. We stand where we stand because of the sum total of all our previous choices. Depending on what has been chosen, the landscape before us will be either horrific or glorious. There can only ever be two energies from which to choose the every thing that we do: is it love or is it not? If the majority of our choices have been made with love, then where we stand will reflect the quality of this light thus chosen. However, the opposite is also true and hence why depression, heart disease, exhaustion etc. are on the rise.
Hear Hear Rachel – thank God for Serge Benhayon and his constant and consistent love and reflecting who we really are. It was a pivotal moment for me also meeting Serge – there were no fireworks, no rescuing or saving, no emotional pulls, but rather a knowing that I had finally connected back to truth and my natural divine connection to myself and God, which was offered purely and simply by the reflection of this man – Serge Benhayon’s – livingness.
Yes Rachel, I agree wholeheartedly with everythingnyou are writing. Serge Benhayon is the biggest inspiration for me to transform my life through understanding the choices I have made in the past and am able to do step by step more truthfully .
A really great article Rachel- so worth reading. I felt the same on meeting Serge Benhayon. We all have a choice and we can change our way of living if we have true signposts. I echo your words “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.” Serge is a true signpost for a way of living unlike any other.
and I would add thank god for Rachel Hall, a now very expressive and deeply caring human being.
Well said Rachel. I relate. I concur, I agree! Crikey what would I be like if I hadn’t discovered Serge Benhayon? Heavier, gluggier, less vital, confused, without the awareness I now have about life, people, our world and the universe.
I know that it wasn’t a coincidence that I met Serge and the influence he has on my life is profound. Serge’s inspiration led me to make the choices for some amazing changes to my life. When I see someone I haven’t seen for a few years they are gobsmacked to see I have so much more vitality.
Not bad aye!
“gluggier”??!! I’ve got no idea what that means, but it’s a great word, so I had to look it up. And now I want to know what the slang word is for the opposite of gluggier?!
There is within all of us the spark of the divine, the impulse to thrive as a ‘Son of God’. The choice is ours, we are never forgotten and if we miss the first moment on offer to connect more deeply – there will be another one. Thank you Rachel for sharing how one of your moments unfolded even if initially you felt – ‘….terrified, panicked and sick to my stomach, questioning my sanity and wondering how on Earth I had got here’. Choosing to take responsibility has set up the foundation on which you stand today and goes on to love and support all those that cross your path.
I too thank God for Serge Benhayon presenting that we all have choices and can at any time take responsibility for making self-loving choices and changing our lives dramatically. I feel so blessed for having the amazing opportunity ‘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’.
Yes, Rachel, I totally agree with you and thanking God and Serge Benhayon for being all the Love they are. Presenting Truth about our true nature, understanding and great reflection for humanity and for every one of us of how Divine we are and what we can can be and do-if we choose so.
Yes – meeting Serge Benhayon and listening to the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom certainly does send all the configurations in one’s brain of past conditionings and habits into an absolute kerfuffle: a sure fire, guaranteed head spin initially, but once we re connect with the inner heart, there is no turning back, hey, Rachel?
We recognize truth when we meet it, even when we should choose to ignore, deny or fight it, but nevertheless it is recognized. With Serge Benhayon it is unavoidable to encounter truth, like it or not, and when we allow ourselves to recognize the same truth being in ourselves and everyone, it is no longer a presentation or teaching of some guy but a return to the absolute and timeless truth of who we are.
Absolutely Coleen, there is no turning back once you feel the truth of who you are, and know beyond doubt the truth of how we can live in accordance with that.
I do so agree, coleen24, all the past conditionings certainly meant quite a head spin for me, after almost 70 years of that old conditioning and patterns, but as you say, once reconnected to my inner heart, there was no turning back for me. I cannot imagine life now without this connection.
Yes, Rachel, I agree with you and thanking God and Serge Benhayon every day for being all the Love he is and for being true and patient with us while we are learning to make loving choices and re-join brotherhood in full.
The patience of Serge Benhayon leaves me constantly astounded and confirms just how amazing and loving he truly is. His patience has spanned thousands and thousands of years through many lifetimes of service as an equal fellow brother. Brilliant.
I resonate with your comment Tracy. It is the knowing and Love which makes it easy for Serge to be patient. He knows the plan and sees a big picture. We are all learning to do it by making our choices.
I agree a billion percent Elena and Rachel – Thank God for Serge Benhayon and the enormous love that he is, we are and God is. Showing us all the way back to who we truly are and our true place in the Universe.
Yes elenalight, I agree with your words of appreciation and gratitude for Serge Benhayon “…being all the Love he is and for being true and patient with us…..”. These words cause me to recall an incident a few years ago, when it seemed that some of us/me included, were having a difficulty in letting go, or even accepting there were still more ideals and belief systems to be released and the disappointment I felt in myself at that time – but he, Serge, never gave up on us, and his patience and love just grew and expanded embracing humanity more and more, apparently seeing past our human flaws and idiocyncrasies to the divine of each of us. Yes, and I agree with Rachel as she says in her blog “I thank God for Serge Benhayon and thank God for me”.
Beautiful sharing Rachel, your story is possibly similar to so many. It’s not until you get to a point in your life and you get a wakening call, at that point you have a choice to choose which way to go. Like you I chose to go to one of Serge’s presentations, at that point was my turning when I knew in my body what he was sharing was true. Where my life was at that time filled with struggle and ill health, was due to my choices, lack of self care, lack of self love and nurturing, no wonder I was burnt out. From that moment onwards I started to make small changes in making loving choices for me. Today after 5 yrs later my health and life is in amazing state, all thanks to the sharing of Serge and showing that there is another way.
Rachel what an interesting thing to consider, where I would be without having come into contact with Serge Benhayon. Hmmm well just before meeting him my body had ground to a halt, I had been close to delusional for over 5 years and I could no longer make sense of many parts of my life, so I’m pretty sure that without the guidance of Universal Medicine I would be pretty lost, very jaded and wondering what on Earth life was about. As you say Thank God for Serge Benhayon.
Well said Rachel.
Yes thanks to God for blessing humanity with Serge Benhayon.
It’s no coincidence you were in the right place at the right time Rachel, it was all about choices that were made them and your openness to change what wasn’t right at that time. But I agree, meeting Serge Benhayon is very life changing when we’re open to hearing what is presented, he is the real deal for sure.
Rachel – choice is one of the most powerful introductions I have experienced. The fact is, we make choices all along – even being a victim or submissive is a choice. I never really appreciated that before I met Serge Benhayon, and now I understand the responsibility that comes with the choices I make. i understand that I can be a victim or I can be a reflection, and in being a reflection, I am making choices that support and flourish me rather than cap me. Obvious, yes, but if our choices are made from our head, then we can’t possible bring the love, understanding and openness we truly are to our choices.
I remember the very first talk I went to and at the time I just thought it’s another spiritual something or other, but went along because I trusted the friend who had recommended Serge to me. Whilst waiting for everyone to settle I looked around and there was a regular looking guy putting out the chairs behind me and what I remember feeling was how I never felt him come up behind me, it’s as though he just appeared. And I said to my husband ‘That must be the guy who is doing the talk’, I knew this because I could feel that there was something different about him. I wasn’t fully aware of what I had experienced but I knew that I had registered something deep within.
I listened as best as I could to every word he spoke, some of which I didn’t understand but so much of it made sense to me – there was a feeling of recognition in what he was saying but at the same time I felt as if my brain was struggling to comprehend what had just happened.
So, I 100% agree with you Rachel, Thank God for Serge Benhayon for showing us all that there is a different way to live and that there is a purpose to this life we live.
I completely agree with you here Rachel, Thank God for Serge Benhayon and Thank God to me. Serge Benhayon has not been my savior or taken anything that was ill in my life away from me for me but simply pointed out that that job is mine and mine alone.
Thank you Rachel for this immensely important sharing and love for meeting Serge Benhayon and all you have chosen.From learning the gift of the gentle breath meditation, the importance of taking responsibility for ourselves and the fact that we are divine beings filled with love life changes beyond recognition if we choose to change and work at this.
A brilliant testimony to both yourself ,Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine well deserved and I agree with it all 100% and feel the same too.
Love it, Rachel. Thank you for sharing the moment you took to stop and appreciate yourself, and Serge Benhayon. There are many of us now who can thank God we chose to be in this place, at this time, with Serge and the all that he stands for and with.
Before I met Serge Benhayon I too was lost, constantly searching outside of myself for truth in new age modalities- reiki, Qigong, kinesiology, going from guru to guru to find so called ‘enlightenment’ – only to find myself more disconnected to the real me. It was only until I finally met Serge Benhayon that I learnt how to reconnect to myself- my inner heart through the gentle breathe meditation. This was a breakthrough and turning point for me. I was fully in my body for the first time and could feel my unresolved hurts, which I then began to deal with.
I finally felt and knew that I came from God, and started to tap into a deeper wisdom, that went beyond knowledge.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Rachel, I do sign all what you said here about Serge Benhayon and his enormous impact on me/us by just presenting how it is in truth and let me know I can come back. Thank God, thank Serge and thank me/us.
I can really relate to all you have written Rachel, the before and after. The before Serge Benhayon, without being judgmental, describes a lot of people I know and the lives they are currently living. The designation you described had we not meet Serge… I was well on that path. Your following words are succinct;
‘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’
Yogurt weaving?? Tree Hugging?? Om – ing ?? Exactly the opposite – Serge Benhayon presents the most sensible, practical and comprehensive approach to health and well-being, including mental health I have yet come across. It’s interesting to begin to be aware of the ways that paradigms and old hurts rule our way of being – until they are dealt with – then they are just no longer part of us, leaving us free to enjoy our lives.
I am definietly thanking God for Serge Benhayon too. You say at the time it was ‘a quirk of fate’ but as you know and talk about later this was not fate but to do with constellation. Somewhere deep within regardless of what was going on in your life you were calling for truth, the same as me and many others. I am not the type of person that would continually and superficially praise another. With Serge Benhayon it is none of this but an absolute deep appreciation within my whole being of the enormity of what he brings, teaches, presents and the amazing level of Love he lives each moment of each day. You are so right in saying there is no ‘saving’ or magic pill ultimately all choices we make are ours; but Serge (amongst many other things) has lifted the veil of illusion enabling me and others to see the true Truth about energy and choices where in a world so much is trying desperately to keep us away from this.
An Inspiring and Power-Full writing Rachel Hall. I can agree with every single word you write on this blog. My experience from attending presentations by Serge Benhayon has been one of total self-empowerment and I am also giving myself some ‘self credit’ for the different choices I have made that have changed my quality of livingness considerably.
“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”.
Rachel your words speak for so many people myself very much included. A simple reflection on where I would be vs where I am now and I can feel and completely agree “Thank God for Serge Benhayon” and with that Thank God for the fact I allowed myself to feel the deep truth of what was presented, something I had deeply been missing.
Yes David, not only am I feeling enormous gratitude to Serge but also for myself for going against the trend in a world that normalises things that never felt normal and true and to return to love, something we all deeply miss.
Powerful confirmation of the truth Rachel and what happens when we say yes to God – very beautiful indeed.
Hello David Nicholson and it is the way those words have come from Rachel Hall that ‘speak’ more clearly for me, so grounded, straight and simple. I love the way this blog is written, no need to be fancy or long winded but contains everything in an easy to read package. I agree with everything about what Rachel Hall has said here, thank you.
Yes I had been deeply missing me too. Serge just allowed me by showing me tools and techniques to reconnect to the gorgeousness of me.
“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.” Serge Benhayon presents you with a crystal clear mirror that reconfigures everything you thought was true.
He sure does lucindag. And with each reconfiguration, it feels like letting go of another layer of “stuff” that I have collected along the way that is getting in the way of me being me. I am lighter and more myself since choosing to let go of these old ways of living. And thank God for Serge Benhayon for holding up that mirror too.
I love this sentence also. Serge through the first step of this gentle breath allowed me to connect to me, to stop the treadmill of life I had created and now I feel my divinity, my essence and walk and breath my gentleness everyday (without perfection) knowing who I am.
Well said lucidag. A crystal clear mirror that reflects everything we need to know right back at us.
Very true, lucindag. As each layer of teaching from Serge Benhayon unfolded (even though he has really just been presenting the same thing again and again) life has changed again and again in the most profound and beautiful ways.
Your story is so similar to mine and probably so many others who have decided to change their lives based on the teachings by Serge Benhayon. What I love about your story Rachel, is that you put the credit where credit is due: on yourself for making the choices that have led to the changes in your life which turned yourself around. But I fully agree with the title of this blog: Thank God for Serge Benhayon! For without him, the opportunity to make those choices would not be there to choose in the first place!
Hello Naren Duffy and I relate to what Rachel Hall has said as well. This part is very far reaching, “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 deal with your part and what is going on for you and the world, your world will change. Do nothing and, well you confirm the same or similar to come around again. Thank you Naren.
Very well said Naren; ‘pay credit where credit is due’ and really this is just appreciation for having made the choices and where the inspiration to make better quality choices has stem from: the delivery of the ancient wisdom from Serge Benhayon.
here here Rachel, thank you for putting into words what so many of us feel – Serge Benhayon is an inspiration of so much, knowledge, wisdom, understanding and love to name but a few. Congratulations Rachel on making the choices you have and will do in the future
