A life inspired by Serge Benhayon

Prior to my association with Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, life used to be about getting through it as best I could. As I grew up I looked at others around me and I came to the conclusion that I was not blessed with the brightest mind or the prettiest face — these beliefs then formed the basis for the rest of my life.

I was born into what would be considered a ‘normal’ middle-to-working class family, you did your best with ‘the cards’ you had been dealt and strived for a ‘better life’, which meant acquiring more material comforts and pleasures. I had accepted that life was a challenge and you just had to make the best of it.

I searched for relief from the gnawing and nagging feeling that there must be more to this mundane existence, jumping from one job and one relationship to another, always in search of something to fill the void.

There was always the next goal, the next achievement that I hoped would make sense of life and make me feel better about myself in some way. Looking back, I was very much tossed around by life, going from one ‘brilliant’ idea that fizzled out, to then pursuing another.

On a personal level, I had disappointing intimate relationships. Each one confirmed the emotional hurts that I was convinced were ‘my story’. The fundamental theme of that story was a lack of self-worth. Even though things didn’t feel right, it appeared normal, and looking around at everyone else they were also struggling with their own issues and stuff. That was how life appeared to be — no questions asked.

That was then….

Today, my life and my relationship with myself has changed immensely as I understand life differently and no longer try to think my way through it. Instead of living from the outside-in, I am learning to live from the inside-out. There is a deep knowing that I am already enough and an acceptance of the many beautiful qualities that I bring to the world. There is nothing that I need to achieve or be in order to gain approval or acceptance from others. I am enough as I am.

I continue to learn how to identify when I am being driven by the hurts and beliefs that cut me off from truly connecting with others. I now connect more consistently to the bundle of love that I know I innately am. The more I heal these hurts and discard the beliefs that are not true, I find that my understanding and awareness of life expands and I feel the simplicity beneath the complexity of the world in which we live.

Life is much simpler

I no longer search for the kind of distractions that I once needed to fill my days and feel more open to people and committed to life. There is a bigger picture that I am part of and I am here to play my part.

What caused this about-turn in the way I live and feel about myself?

I met a man by the name of Serge Benhayon and began to attend his presentations and courses through Universal Medicine. A very ordinary humble man who at the same time is extraordinary. He is a World Teacher who brings to us modern presentations of the Ageless Wisdom. He lives what he teaches and has inspired so many people from all walks of life to make loving changes in the way they live and the choices they make. By walking his talk, he shows that it is possible to be love, to live life to the full, to hold everyone as an equal and live with no barriers of protection.

There are many facets and layers to be felt with this man — his wisdom, integrity, dedication, consistency and sheer normalness to name a few.

“Serge Benhayon will be known as one of the most influential figures in human history. The ageless wisdom he presents is an age-old message that offers a way to understand and even resolve life’s most challenging issues.” Joel Levin

He shows us that re-connecting to our essence and navigating our way through life from that essence brings about profound and positive change.

In short, I have found a way to live that challenges the current way in which we live:

· I am learning to listen to and respect my body rather than override its messages.

· I go to bed when I’m tired and no longer try to push through.

· I’m learning to no longer relate to food as fuel or entertainment but something that plays an important part in how I feel about myself and the choices I go on to make.

· I grow older yet feel younger with each passing year.

· I have wonderful relationships that are more fulfilling and continue to deepen.

· I am less caught up in the emotional dramas of life.

· I am learning that it’s ok to be seen and speak up for what I know is true.

· I am learning that nothing and no one is more special than the next.

· I’m much more aware of the quality of my choices and how they impact not only myself but others also which brings greater responsibility.

All of this and more through being inspired by the whole Serge Benhayon family and all that is presented through Universal Medicine.

My choice to be a student of The Livingness is without a doubt the best decision I have made and is something I wholeheartedly recommend.

“In the inner-heart, the essence of all things and the living truth of all life – naturally live.” SB
