Testimonials by Clients and Friends of Serge Benhayon and Students of Universal Medicine

My First encounter with Serge Benhayon

14/5/2015

by Jonathan Stewart, UK

I first met Serge Benhayon in April 2006 when I attended a Sacred Esoteric Healing Level 1 course he was presenting at the invitation of a friend. I knew nothing about Serge but I trusted my friend’s recommendation. This event was to change my life.

At that time I was a full-time practicing kinesiology therapist and instructor, with fifteen years of experience and a very busy clinic.

I was very happy and confident in my chosen modality and had no great expectations for this workshop but was always open for new initiatives to support my practice.

By the end of the morning break I was having to question everything that I held to be true about healing. The concepts that Serge presented challenged the very foundations upon which I based my understanding and approach to health, healthcare and healing.

Although what Serge presented challenged the very tenets for all those present (they were all complimentary health practitioners of whom some were medically trained), he did not hold back from expressing his truth. It was the way that he did this that enabled me to hear what he presented instead of reacting and rejecting what he had to say.

From the outset of the course and throughout the two days I was struck by Serge’s personal presence and style of presentation. Even though he was consistently challenged by myself and others at no time did he argue or attempt to persuade. His constant invitation, if not loving exhortation, was for each of us to discern for ourselves what was true or not and not to take his word as gospel.

At no time did he endeavour to side step a challenging question but answered them directly without judgment. He consistently and unwaveringly met everybody equally, listening to what they said. He never attempted to put anyone down or make their opinion lesser than his own. He constantly showed respect to everyone equally even though, as I have come to appreciate over the years since then, he knew that what others were expressing was not true or accurate. I found his patience marvellous.

When demonstrating and instructing the hands-on bodywork Serge was impeccable. He handled bodies with a tenderness, respect and reverence that I had not experienced before in all the years of my training and practice. His attention to detail and complete lack of any sexual innuendo was beyond comparison. He was also consistently explicit in ensuring that the participants’ touch was also not sexual or invasive. This sensitivity and level of personal care I found inspiring.

Throughout the years since that first encounter with Serge Benhayon this impression and appreciation for Serge has not dimmed but instead has grown and deepened. In all that time I have not experienced him less than on that first weekend but only more gracious and loving than I could have ever imagined. I now know from over the passage of time that what I felt on those first few days was true and why it has been life-changing for me.

Jonathan, this is such a powerful testimonial to the work of Serge Benhayon and the quality of man that he is. I have not (ever) seen another presenter who when challenged, does not have some 'retaliation' in their response, or seek to manipulate, deviate from or control a participant's view in some way.
Serge does none of these things. He is, as you've shared, steadfast and unwavering in the truth he knows and lives every aspect of his life by (reflected in his presentation of the Esoteric Healing Modalities). And, I agree entirely – this absolute dedication, unwavering truth and true respect for the discernment of others, has been consistently demonstrated by him in the 14 or so years I have known him.
Absolutely exemplary, and, hear, hear Jonathan – absolutely life-changing as to the depth of what true integrity really means.

I have been in a workshop and witnessed Serge Benhayon being verbally attacked. I was amazed to see how Serge did not change one bit. He listened and welcomed the person to speak with him afterwards, but he held himself with dignity, did not become hard or defensive and was his same loving and caring self. Seeing that changed my life forever.

Natalie Hawthorne

8/6/2015 03:03:29 pm

I too have witnessed this happen and as you say it is deeply inspiring to see how Serge does not waver his love for himself or for anyone else. He stands firm in truth and shares this equally so.

Stephanie Stevenson

9/7/2015 06:29:52 pm

I too have witnessed this behaviour of verbal attack towards Serge Benhayon at one of his presentations. Initially, I felt anxiousness come up in my body as to what may occur and then just becoming more open and still as I observed Serge responding with equal respect to this person with no judgement, no retaliation or making them wrong in any way, just an acceptance of the person and where they were coming from in their own experience. A life-changing moment for me in that moment too Shevon.

Vicky Cooke

8/8/2015 09:38:32 pm

Most people would react in a situation like that. Serge Benhayon does not react to situations and this isn't a front or show, it is not acting one way and then living another behind closed doors. Serge lives love everyday, this might seem like a big statement but it's true. There is no reaction just a response to what is there, it shows us there is a different way to live.. Responding instead of reacting being one of them.

Rachel Mascord

9/8/2015 04:41:23 am

I too have witnessed this. Not only was Serge unchanged by the attack, but he was deeply gracious and unyielding in his adherence to truth, and he held that person with absolute respect. This is so unusual. Most people when attacked become defensive or very aggressive, seeking to put down that person or score a point off them. The situation can quickly escalate to an alarming degree. Never is this the case with Serge. He gives people the space to disagree, and never makes them feel less.
He has taught me so very much about how to be with people, the true meaning of respect and the fact that never do we compromise what we know to be true.

rowena stewart

20/9/2015 12:23:00 pm

Yes I agree Shevon, I too have witnessed Serge Benhayon being verbally attacked and it radically changed my appreciation not only of him, but his teachings too from that day forward. I have never met anyone who can remain so calm and un-ruffled when under fire, it was like watching rubber bullets bounce of an invisible bullet proof screen. It was very educational and proved beyond doubt that when we are truly connected to the divine love within our hearts, there is absolutely no need to fight, but every need to stand our ground, firmly and respectfully and make claim to what is true.

Ariana Ray

10/11/2015 08:41:07 pm

That is certainly something that inspires me to feel I can be like that too. I can be myself with the world no matter what comes my way.

Christoph Schnelle

24/11/2015 09:47:04 pm

I am one of those who questioned Everything. Serge's answers stacked up, something that really, really surprised me.

Michelle M Ryan

17/5/2015 02:57:44 pm

So true, never any retaliation in his responses at all. Just more truth to help us unpick the illusions and lies we have lived with.

Victoria Carter

18/5/2015 08:06:59 pm

Absolutely Shevon and Michelle. And yet, I have observed Serge to have a firmness when called for – he is in no way any 'push-over'! In working in the area of vocal expression in particular, it is the way that Serge expresses with firmness that has been the greatest inspiration. Never, ever does he harm another with his words. Love, can indeed be powerful, when one holds all truly in equalness in one's heart. I can't imagine greater inspiration, nor learning, in regards to expression than this, and the continual truth that Serge pours out – in spoken and written word and in so many ways – for all.

Michelle M Ryan

21/5/2015 03:45:08 pm

I agree Victoria. Serge Benhayon is indeed no pushover as he stands firmly and solidly in truth. His firmness is inspiring as it is unwavering and beholding. There is nothing uncompromising either because truth is truth and from that place, there is nowhere to deviate.

Michelle McWaters

5/6/2015 03:25:36 pm

So true Victoria. That firmness however is always delivered with love. When delivered it is easy to take note of because there is not one ounce of judgement in it. You are held in the all the fullness of who you naturally are so can feel the truth in what is being said

Jonathan Stewart

9/9/2015 09:25:21 pm

This is so true Victoria. This 'firmness' that Serge expresses when necessary is so solid it establishes a foundation upon which can feel so safe one can look at and feel what would otherwise be unimaginable, frightening or painful. One can then see beyond the shackles of one's emotions, ideals or beliefs that hold one imprisoned in a world of limitations of one's own making and to then make choices that would otherwise seem unthinkable. This is what happened for me on my first meeting with Serge.

Nattalija link

Bringing back the core ingredient that holds the steadiness of the work - truth time and time again.

Nattaliya link

7/3/2018 04:47:47 am

Bucket loads of lies that are feed each day to keep us from getting to the truth!

Nattaliya link

17/3/2018 06:51:45 pm

Truth given with the exact level of understanding that is needed for all with a huge point of refection that is felt deep within.

Nattaliya link

30/3/2018 11:50:06 pm

The expression of truth is the way forward and responses or retaliation leads us in the opposite direction.

Monika Rietveld

19/5/2015 02:31:45 am

Absolutely agree Jonathan and Victoria, Serge always listens, doesn't react to any questions and gives you the time and space to come to your own conclusion. Life changing meeting Serge and grateful for it every day.

Vicky Cooke

6/6/2015 03:46:07 pm

All you have said and shared is so true. Serge Benhayon is the absolute real deal and a true role model.

Natalie Hawthorne

10/6/2015 03:50:29 pm

Monika it is such a blessing to be delivered truth with all the Love in the world but left to feel and understand it in your own time. Serge will always make sure that you have a complete understanding of what he presents and yes with not an ounce of judgment. Giving the space to come to it in your own time.

Jenny McGee

16/6/2015 06:03:39 am

There is such an allowing in being held in love and recognised as an equal being that when Serge or another holds 'firm' in truth I have the opportunity to step up or remain stuck in where I am.

Deborah McInnes

8/7/2015 08:52:47 pm

Serge's love of Humanity and unending patience is as vast and abundant as the ocean - holding all, powerful, revering and pure magic.

Deborah McInnes

8/7/2015 09:04:05 pm

It is true that Serge Benhayon brings a depth of Humanity, decency and respect that is seldom if ever experienced in our world. The Grace to let others be, to Live (in full) and to let others live their lives without an ounce of judgement, irritation or the need for them to change. Serge consistently reflects all that is Divine, and therefore known and trusted deeply within us al and without preaching, or imposing, provides True inspiration in every facet of life, imparts wisdom and offers another way and True choice for us all.

Nattalija link

28/4/2018 05:31:04 pm

A man who does not impose but offers you the space to realise that the answers you are looking for are within you and the source of how to connect is the love of another.

Sarah Flenley

17/8/2015 04:01:16 am

Yes Victoria and Jonathan - I have never experienced a presenter like Serge before. It is like he knows what is true and presents that but with absolutely no attachment to whether or not the audience get's it, agrees or chooses to take it on.I have never experienced such freedom before in a presentation - and oh the patience. He repeats information, responds to questions and is so available to humanity amongst his very very busy workload. Incredible.

Rachel Mascord

9/10/2015 10:02:03 am

There is great truth in you comment Victoria to be explored further. How is it that Serge Benhayon can do this? To be challenged and on occasion attacked verbally, yet he remains very open and still, with no defensiveness in his body or in his words? He does not run the challenger down through a countering personal attack (the position adopted by so many of us when confronted by the same challenge). He also will not allow the challenge to go unaddressed. Always, he invites the challenger, indeed all of us, to not just agree or disagree blindly, but to test it out in the way we live, the only true test there is - the science of life and our living way.

Emma Danchin

14/3/2016 11:16:07 am

What a powerful series of comments and testimonials in response to your writing Jonathan, exploring and supporting the observation that Serge Benhayon does not react when attacked.
How does he do this?
It is because of the absolute knowingness of who he is and that he holds this in unwavering presence in his body. He is not an individual, like we are all accustomed to, but rather completely surrendered as a vehicle for the will of God. This is really quite something.

Jonathan Stewart

16/3/2018 09:32:23 pm

So true, Rachel, the proof is in the living and it is example of 'livedness' by Serge that is so inspiring.

Ariana Ray

26/11/2015 11:34:38 pm

'Absolutely life-changing as to the depth of what true integrity really means.' Most people seek this all their lives, and here we have living proof of such transformation and a full explanation of how living with integrity can affect people.

Nattalija

5/8/2018 05:52:04 am

So true - integrity is hard to find and now the teachings that are shared and lived by Serge Benhayon and those who have been inspired by the work offers others a knowing that it can be found.

Lorraine Wellman

20/8/2018 09:28:52 pm

Yes, Serge Benhayon is truly inspirational in how he is when under attack, an amazing role model for us all, showing us there is another way, a way where love prevails.

Amelia Stephens

13/5/2015 08:32:39 pm

This is great Jonathan. What I could really relate to here was how you spoke about Serge not holding back in the truth he knows, ever-lovingly so. This has been huge inspiration for me in my life, and is a constant strength I know can equally be in me too. Such is the beauty of the way Serge presents - he makes it very clear that anything he can do, we are also very much capable of.

Chan Ly

18/5/2015 06:37:56 am

I love your comment Amelia, this is so beautiful. I agree, we are all capable of doing what Serge Benhayon is doing and sharing, he reminds us of this in such a gentle and loving way. It is absolutely amazing!

Shevon Simon

22/5/2015 04:33:09 am

This is so the beauty of Serge Benhayon - he is always delivering the message (not necessarily in words) that anything he knows or that we admire in him we have in us equally. For me he is one of the greatest teachers of how to be a loving and very decent person.

Michelle M Ryani

23/5/2015 02:17:17 pm

Yes Amelia, it is always obvious that Serge Benhayon holds himself and all others in the equalness which we all truly are.

Natalie Hawthorne

27/5/2015 03:13:26 pm

Amelia that is so true and exactly what I have experienced with Serge Benhayon. Everything that he lives and shares he has offered the practical tools to support me to be the same as him. We are the same created from the same source. It comes down to weather we choose to live from the divine source we are originally from. So there can be no one higher we are all the same just at different levels of connection and awareness to who we truly are.

Joel Levin

7/7/2015 10:53:28 pm

I agree Amelia, the ability to deliver what is true and challenge long held and championed beliefs is an amazing trait Serge delivers consistently.

Nattalija

2/7/2018 01:32:46 am

Standing in this delivery with impeccable humbleness is so inspiring.

Rowena Stewart

11/11/2015 12:50:52 pm

So true Amelia, that is the true grace of Serge Benhayon. He never holds himself aloft of anyone, he just consistently demonstrates by the way he lives that we are all capable of achieving the same level of awareness, respect and integrity that he has. It is all down to a matter of choice and how much we value ourselves.

Ariana Ray

20/11/2015 11:35:39 pm

'He makes it very clear that anything he can do, we are also very much capable of.'
Given that the depth of love and truth that he lives is absolute, it shows us all what we are missing out on, because this IS available to all of us if we choose to live it.

Jonathan Stewart

16/3/2018 09:45:21 pm

Serge "makes it very clear that anything he can do, we are also very much capable of." He is a living mirror that shows the naked truth of our essence that we deny, which is that we are love no matter what we do, because what he is capable of is living from his essence.

Nattalija

5/8/2018 05:47:47 am

Yes this is so true for many as the choice to hold back the truth would not lead us to express what is on offer for all.

Shevon Simon

13/5/2015 10:34:58 pm

Jonathan your testimonial about Serge Benhayon is so full of love and I can relate to EVERY word. Although I was not in kinesiology, it makes no difference as my experience of Serge is just the same. He has treated me with the utmost warmth from day one until today - 5 years later. It is the same warmth I observe him be with everyone. You could follow Serge anywhere and there's no private moment of a slip. He is a consistently loving man.

Katerina Nikolaidis

19/6/2015 06:35:00 am

I absolutely agree Shevon and Jonathan. The consistency of warmth, love and care that Serge benhayon meets everyone with is astounding and a true inspiration to how we can all be with each other, and his dedication to expressing the whole truth regardless of what might come at hi is also hugely inspiring. It takes us back to the truth we all have at one point held very dear but walked away having been disillusioned with life. Serge is a standing beacon of the truth that is always alive and that we can always return to.

mary sanford

15/9/2015 05:50:16 am

Shevon I was a patient of Jonathan, and when he saw me after the first course he had attended he explained how he had meet Serge Benhayon and that he was having to re think at that time how to incorporate the healing modalities of Universal Medicine into kinesiology. But Jonathan quickly realised he could not. Here was a man with a very busy clinic prepared to give up kinesiology because he could feel for him self how harming it was. This is amazing to me because I wonder how many people are prepared to hear the truth and then act on it? When Jonathan started using the esoteric modalities instead of kinesiology I made rapid progress and felt tons better. Jonathan also encouraged me to go and see for my self this man that he was constantly talking about. And when I met Serge Benhayon for the first time I could totally understand why Jonathan was so taken with him. Serge Benhayon for me has this amazing ability when talking to you that makes you feel completely heard and understood and that we actually mattered in life.

Leigh Matson

21/11/2015 09:23:23 pm

I too was a patient of Jonathan's in the kinesiology days as a child. The treatments never made sense to me back then and these experiences of 'alternative medicine' just don't compare to the complementary, esoteric medicine as taught by Serge Benhayon, the whole scene feels different in every single aspect part from both use a massage table. The kinesiology had results but at what cost because over the years it was not until getting involved in Esoteric Medicine did I feel that anything had truly changed or healed.

David

31/12/2017 12:07:42 am

I agree Shevon what Jonathan shares is gold in the depth of appreciation that is shown of what Serge has presented and inspired in him and so many other people.

Judy Young

14/5/2015 01:33:35 am

Hi Jonathan, I really enjoyed reading your article and experience of the presentations of Serge Benhayon. At presentations I have listened to the consistently loving responses and having attended many other types of workshops in the past, had expected to see some frustration or other emotion but Serge is consistently consistent and there is never anything presented other than love. A truly remarkable man who constantly reminds us is he not special but just the same as you and I and the only difference being the level of awareness he has chosen to live.

Chan Ly

18/5/2015 05:29:58 am

Beautiful, true and inspiring comment Judy. I too was blown away by Serge Benhayon. His respect, love and care for people and his level of awareness is remarkable. Every word he expresses and the way he moves resonates absolute truth and love. I have learnt that we are all equal, no one is more special than another. This is also one of many things I love about Serge Benhayon, he never, ever puts himself above anyone else, he hold everyone with absolute equality and love. He is extremely inspirational and a very, very loving man.

Naren Duffy

22/6/2015 05:44:49 pm

The word you hit on there, Judy, is 'consistency'. There is such a solid consistent expression of love and respect from Serge Benhayon for all those whom he speaks with, whether that is a large group or one on one.

Judy Young

22/9/2015 11:51:23 pm

Hi Naren, This is true it matters not whether Serge Benhayon is talking to hundreds or one, each presentation receives all the love Serge lives never more and never less.

Kylie Connors

1/8/2015 08:31:02 pm

Yes Judy, and isn't this what a true teacher is... one who reminds us of who we are through lived example. For a teacher to look down upon or treat anyone with an ounce of judgement would completely disregard the student and stunt their growth.
Serge respects that we are all students, equally so, himself included... and in this I have only ever experienced the most beautiful humbleness and shared wisdom of a man who reminds me constantly of all that I am and never less. Serge is my greatest teacher and also my fellow student, as we forever unfold more of who we truly are.

Heather Pope

27/8/2017 12:24:53 pm

Knowing that I too can live a full and purposeful life is possibly one of the greatest gifts offered to me by Serge Benhayon. It is a daily experience of joy.

Ingrid Ward

14/5/2015 03:49:30 am

What you have shared of your experience of your first workshop with Serge Benhayon totally echoes mine Jonathon. Like you I was challenged in every moment, but even though what Serge was presenting was rocking the world I had spent 55 years creating, at a deeper level I knew that I was finally being presented with the truth. At the end of the workshop I knew that I just had to know more and that this was only the beginning, and what an amazing and life changing beginning that was. To see and feel the consistency of how Serge lived and presented, how he didn’t present one way and then lived another, was what inspired me the most, and still does. I continue to attend his presentations when I am able to, and each time I am met by him with such unconditional love and equality, as is everyone else. This is one truly remarkable man whose love for humanity is unwavering, all encompassing and endless.

Lorraine Harris

25/7/2015 06:09:16 am

I was at the same talk as Jonathan and like you Ingrid, I was challenged in every moment as it rocked my world too, my belief systems, my healing experiences, the courses I had done, etc! I knew I had to sit up and listen and like you, it changed my life from that day on. I was in my 60's and had spent many years exploring and attending courses. The search is over, Serge Benhayon is the real deal. What he offers feeds the soul, his love for everyone is, as you say, unwavering, all encompassing and endless.

Michelle M Ryan

14/5/2015 01:35:18 pm

This is a great testimonial of your experience which I too have shared.

"By the end of the morning break I was having to question everything that I held to be true about healing." This was the case for me too. Never, ever, had I come across someone with as much integrity as Serge Benhayon. He called things for exactly what they were, never putting anyone or anything down, just exposing the falseness of so many modalities, which rocked me too, but over time by allowing myself to be open and feel for myself the foundation upon which they were set, I too could see through the falsity of them.

Kate Robson

17/10/2015 11:33:55 pm

I couldn't agree more Michelle and Jonathan, I did many courses in Massage and Spa Therapy that had a distinctive sexual feel that made me uncomfortable in the training, especially the day spa ones. I have learned about health with people who do not live very healthy lifestyle, so many of the naturopaths I went to uni with smoke drank and partied, then went into the clinic.. me too. Hearing Serge's wisdom about this and how this affects the person we are treating changed my way forever. Serge showed me responsibility on a level I was never, ever taught in my courses and was not willing to see for myself. Serge Benhayon is a game changer alright, and for no reason but an absolute love of people.

Candida

14/5/2015 02:28:56 pm

What Serge presents is as you say Jonathan, a 'constant invitation' of what is true. There is absolutely no imposition whatsoever in what he delivers and no attachment from him at all as to whether anyone gets what he says or not. I'd never experienced anything, anywhere like this before, I wasn't being told what to do, fed anything but merely and clearly presented a possible way of looking at life direct from his own lived experience. It was and still is extraordinarily refreshing and insightful to hear Serge speak, giving me the grace and space to feel for myself if it is true or not. Of course to date, as a known from my body, it's all felt spot on.

Gabriele Conrad

14/5/2015 04:43:42 pm

I have found the same – Serge Benhayon's consistency, deep respect, patience, humility and care and attention to detail are second to none and very, very inspiring. There is no other like him in the whole wide world.

Shevon Simon

17/5/2015 03:11:57 am

I agree Gabriele!

Kylie Connors

9/6/2015 10:02:06 pm

Absolutely Gabriele. Serge is the teacher of all teachers.
Through living example he consistently shows me what is possible to be lived by us all.

sandra williamson

21/6/2015 07:53:13 am

I agree Gabriele, Serge brings a living way to all and if we choose we also can live our full potential.

Sarah Flenley

27/7/2015 04:32:00 am

I completely 100% agree. I have never met anyone in the world that actually lives and presents the principles that everyone talks about but never actually truly lives. People talk about openness, respect, equality etc.... but I have found very few (if anyone apart from Serge) is actually presenting (and living) this on a consistent basis. I have found that most people have a form of personal agenda when presenting and is not truly open nor respectful nor considering that all are equal.

Paul Moses

28/7/2015 11:08:04 am

Hear hear Gabriel.

Jane Keep

1/8/2015 06:04:47 pm

I agree with you Jonathan. And Gabriele - I agree with you I have known Serge Benhayon for 11+ years - and I have experienced first hand a consistency and steadiness that Id never experienced in anyone else before I met Serge - and the deepest integrity, and respect and care for humanity like nothing else. Serge Benhayon is a absolute marker for true leadership - he is well worth studying as a true role model for leadership with integrity.

Natalie Hawthorne

12/11/2015 07:24:04 pm

I whole hearty agree Gabriele, Serge Benhayon is like no other in the way he lives and shares his life. The attention to detail and the integrity that he lives by is out of this world. Serge has redefined what the true meaning of the word integrity is. What is beautiful is Serge is a constant reminder that we are all the same, it is only a choice that Serge is making absolutely every nano second.

adam warburton

Over the years I have visited many practitioners from varying modalities, from traditional GPS, physiotherapists, to chiropractors and new age alternative medicine modalities. As a high level amateur athlete who was simultaneously working in a very physical industry, I was always pushing my body to the extreme, and I got to see how effective various treatments were for my various ailments and injuries. The truth was that over the years I found many modalities that assisted me with relief from acute pain. But it was not until I experienced the modalities of Universal Medicine, did I actually find a modality that sought to address the root cause of my issues, rather than seek to fix my body so that I could just get it back on the race track. Serge Benhayon opened my eyes to consider that there was a way to live that did not necessitate the daily punishment I was putting my body through, that was none the less a way of living that encouraged me to remain just as committed and engaged in real life as ever, but in a way that was not at the detriment to my body, mind and connection to my Soul.

Jonathan Stewart

11/9/2015 10:05:31 am

This is so true Adam. Many modalities give relief and restore function and like you it was not until I experienced the Universal Medicine modalities did I experience the root cause being addressed. As you say, Serge presents a different way to live that supports one and at the same time one remaisn committed to life, if not even more so.

Leigh Matson

4/1/2016 11:37:01 pm

Likewise I have seen many different practitioners and medical professionals over the years and even in my study of animal care we were taught about preventive medicine. But until Universal Medicine did I really start to learn about the value of preventive medicine and self-care. But never was or has this been from teachings brought to me from above but always on the same level and having learnt through others how they live and the results of such. With Serge Benhayon nothing is ever theory work but practical and real.

Lorraine Harris

15/5/2015 02:19:43 am

I was at that meeting too Jonathan, in fact you were sitting behind me. I remember it well as it was life-changing for both of us. I had gone along on the recommendation of a friend, really not knowing what to expect and certainly not make changes in my life!

It didn't take long for my attention to be brought into focus. Serge offered the possibility that there were two types of energy to choose from and we were given an exercise to experience this. That was it for me, totally wanting to know more. I had studied healing modalities for years, was a part of the main body of healing in the UK and yet this was the first I had heard of this possibility.

The whole day was full of revelations yet grounded and practical. At one time I was working with a doctor and the next a fellow explorer of various complementary practices. We all found in Serge a man of total integrity, openness, patience and love. At no time did he judge any of us for what our belief systems were but just shared with us techniques he felt beneficial to the whole.

Life-changing - absolutely! Am I glad I went along - without question it was the most important day of my life in terms of understanding the bigger picture and I am learning more every day.

Thank you Lorraine for this equally deeply touching account of the presentation Jonathan has described and how Serge Benhayon is able to present what is needed to his audience and hold them all with such respect and love, as I have witnessed myself many times over.

Rowena Stewart

15/5/2015 06:31:29 am

Beautiful Jonathan, you have captured that first encounter perfectly and it was Serge Benhayon's steady, tender yet firm presentation and interaction with his audience that made both of us sit up and take notice. Compared to the professional standards we were used to, Serge outshone them all and continues to do so to this day. I feel continually blessed to be a student of this extraordinary work and very fortunate to have made friends with this beautiful man. Giving up kinesiology was a 'no-brainer' as they say, it was clear from day one that Universal Medicine is not just a modality one learns, but a way of living that is to be applied to every inch of one's life so that when we step into the treatment room every cell in our bodies radiates health. To see you now after 9 years of studying Universal Medicine, it is clear that you are a shinning example of the amazing changes that can be achieved by facing one's hurts and choosing to love one self. We both have a great deal to thank Serge Benhayon for, for bringing us back to who we really are and being of true service in the world.

Jonathan Stewart

12/9/2015 12:38:12 pm

Yes, we certainly do have a great deal to thank Serge Benahyon for. As you so rightly say that he brought us back to we are and to be of true service. At the time we were involved in kinesiology we believed we were in service but what an illusion we were living in. It was the shattering of that illusion, and so lovingly, was what brought about the paradigm shift in our lives.

Hannah Morden

15/5/2015 03:23:35 pm

Hi Jonathan, I've been interested in how I can react to things one person says but then not react to someone else - and you absolutely nail it here. Serge Benhayon delivers the whole truth when he talks, therefore how can my body react - it simply hears what is said, and then makes a choice. What you share here is true for me too - I have only seen Serge's integrity and honesty grow. It is a gift to not be imposed on by a presenter, but rather be supported to see the truth of my decisions.

Jonathan Stewart

13/9/2015 01:00:02 am

"Serge Benhayon delivers the whole truth when he talks, therefore how can my body react". I had never thought about it in this way, Hanna, but it is true. Also not only is he delivering the whole truth he is also presenting all of himself, there is no holding back or hidden agenda and one can feel this. When I, or anybody, shares from 'all of themselves' there is such truth and honesty that it cannot be mistaken.

Esther Auf der Maur

15/5/2015 07:52:21 pm

Dear Jonathan, I love your testament so much. Thank you for sharing your experience of Serge Benhayon; I can totally relate. How awesome that you were so ready to hear the truth in 2006 - even though it challenged everything you had based your life on until that moment. And as mine, I understand your life has been changed forever.

Susan Lee link

15/5/2015 08:46:29 pm

Thank you Jonathan for expressing your deep and personal appreciation of Serge Benhayon. As you say as the years go by my appreciation of Serge, has like yours not dimmed but deepened as I embrace more of what he offers. His unswerving dedication to truth is without compare and inspires so many. His warmth and love of humanity is something that is felt in the heart - it is life expanding and offers a sense to the world that we too can tread the same path of dedication and commitment to serve.

Beverley Croft

13/6/2015 04:45:49 pm

I agree with you totally, Susan, I have now known Serge for about 9 years. My appreciation for him has deepened enormously. He is so dedicated to truth and love, an absolutely amazing person with such enormous integrity. He is so supportive of me and my journey, I feel so blessed to know him as a friend, as he is to so many. My life (and my body) has changed so incredibly through knowing this beautiful man. He has never told me what to do, just supported me to feel into myself for the answers.

Steve Matson

15/5/2015 09:19:51 pm

Jonathan you were the one that introduced me to the work of Serge Benhayon. The first one day presentation I attended with no real idea of what was going to be presented but your insistence that I attend was well rewarded. I can also say as you have, it has been live-changing for how I now live.

Judy Young

17/5/2015 02:52:57 pm

Hi Steve, Yes I remember this well I went along with you and Julie to the first Heart Chakra workshop, it changed my life forever and I am incredibly appreciative. My feeling about what life is, changed from that moment and could never go back to how it was before.

Joshua Campbell

16/5/2015 12:52:12 am

The way Serge presents is what one could say is a world first. He presents with no judgement, no investment in you 'getting it' and never wavers that what he is sharing is in fact true. He is so steady in his Love that even with a force-full challenging view point from someone, everyone is left feeling held and at least open to a new way of viewing life. It is truly inspirational. And now I endeavour to bring that same love and dedication to truth to all of my encounters and connections with others.

Lorraine Harris

19/5/2015 02:08:37 am

Yes Joshua, I agree. With Serge there is no judgement, no investment in anyone getting it and he never wavers but remains steady no matter what questions are posed, A true philosopher with a great sense of humour and very inspirational.

Shevon Simon

29/5/2015 04:31:42 am

Serge's sense of humour was one of the first things that struck me. He could lightheartedly speak about the human maladies that we live with in a way that you can relate. More respectful than an observational comedian but with a depth of understanding and non judgement that I'd never ever seen before. I couldn't help but warm to Serge.

Jane Keep

14/6/2015 02:32:40 pm

I love what you say here Joshua - 'The way Serge presents is what one could say is a world first.' I absolutely agree. I have traversed the world high and low looking for true integrity. The day I met Serge Benhayon the day I realised I had found it. 10 years on not a moment with Serge Benhayon has shown anything but absolute truth, dedication, integrity, and consistency - as well as a beautiful grace and tenderness like nothing else.

Heather Pope

31/7/2015 06:57:58 pm

I too searched the world high and low for someone who could support me to develop more happiness in my life. I got much more than I bargained for - I now life a joy filled life. No Pollyanna here, but full lovely days with purpose and joy as very normal. All thanks to the commitment of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine to say it how it is!

Ingrid Ward

23/12/2015 09:54:29 am

I too realised that I finally found someone with the highest form of integrity the day I first met Serge Benhayon. And for me hearing a presenter say: "don't believe anything I say, confirm it for yourself" (or words to that effect) was definitely a first for me, in fact it stopped me in my tracks with the realisation that in the past I had blindly accepted information that I was presented with as being true, without feeling it for myself. This is what happens when you put those who you consider to be wiser than you on pedestals - a place where I have never put Serge as he has always presented that the wisdom he presents I have within me as well.

Naren Duffy

12/8/2015 03:39:09 am

I agree, Joshua. The lack of pressure to 'get it' means that everyone is allowed the space to be able to come to the revelations that Serge presents in their own time and for themselves. This is indeed truly revolutionary and truly inspirational.

Penny Scheenhouwer

16/5/2015 06:40:23 am

Jonathan your experience of Serge as a presenter mirrors mine. As a complimentary health practitioner myself I have done many courses and attended many presentations of the last 20+ years. I too have never come across anyone else with the same care, integrity and understanding as Serge Benhayon who is willing to present only the truth and never compromise this for his own or anyone else's gain. Unheard of in my experience.

Rowena Stewart

18/5/2015 04:41:40 pm

I agree Penny. Serge Benhayon has established a new benchmark for all healing modalities, alternative, complimentary and orthodox. The standard of self care and self nurturing, adherence to truth and compassion can be clearly felt and seen in Serge, his vitality and health shines out. This was a real show stopper for me, as I have never come across a teacher or practitioner who clearly walks every inch of their talk and this alone exposed the huge hypocrisy that we accept in all our health modalities. The decision to re-examine all I had been lead to believe about alternative health prior to meeting Serge Benhayon was the only choice I could make. It was clear that the truth I was beholding on the first course I attended was the only way forward in life.

Oliver Hallock

16/5/2015 07:25:33 am

I too have often marvelled at Serge's patience with all people he's in contact with. Whether in crowds of people at a course, or one-on-one, there doesn't seem to be anything that perturbs his way. To 'swim like a fish and not get wet' is by all means this aspect of his livingness that I'm referring to. May we all observe Serge and be inspired to not absorb the multitudes of energies waiting to be absorbed, that lead us away from our divine expression.

Judy Young

1/6/2015 11:20:24 pm

I agree Oliver serge is an incredible inspiration for all who meet him. His ability to truly listen and meet others - all others in complete equalness - is second to none. A true inspiration of a way to be.

Jonathan Stewart

14/9/2015 12:31:59 pm

" May we all observe Serge and be inspired to not absorb the multitudes of energies waiting to be absorbed, that lead us away from our divine expression". This is beautifully expressed Oliver. I was totally absorbed by kinesiology and I feel so blessed to have the clear example by Serge to dissolve the illusion in which I was living.

Gretel Willis

16/5/2015 11:19:15 am

I agree Jonathan... It is a wonder that I didn't run away when I was first presented with the work as it challenged everything I lived and believed in at the time... Deep down I knew what Serge presented was the truth though, and as you say, his patience to allow us all to see, feel and understand what he is presenting for ourselves is exemplary.

Lorraine Harris

16/5/2015 10:21:28 pm

Your comment Gretel made me smile as I too wonder how I didn't run away. I definitely considered it to be in the too difficult category as it certainly challenged every part of my being and yet I knew my search was over. I had finally met the truth, being presented by Serge Benhayon. Was it easy? Not always. Did I need to make changes in my life? Yes but in my own time as I was ready to do so. Really there was no option as my heart knew I had come home.

Rowena Stewart

28/10/2015 01:44:38 pm

So true Gretel, the manner in which Serge Benhayon patiently presents the simple truth of the Universal Medicine teachings again and again, with a huge variety of ways to get the same eternal message across, without any investment in whether or not we get it, apply it or run with it, is exceptionally extra extraordinary. His ability to never tell anyone what to do, or attempt to force a point or gain credibility for what he is presenting is quite awesome. I have never met anyone like it before and what I love is that the more I witness Serge Benhayon holding this space for his audience, the more it teaches me the real value of compassion and patience. Its as if there is a place inside him where he knows that one day, without question we will all 'get it' and therefore there is no battle to win or person to convince, just an immensely joyful journey to share while we get there.

Shami Duffy

16/5/2015 04:15:27 pm

Thank you Jonathan, your testimonial shows a great understanding of what genuine respect and integrity in practise looks and feels like, given to us by Serge Benhayon and shared by you.

adam warburton

16/5/2015 08:39:58 pm

Serge Benhayon has an uncanny ability to challenge many things in life without derision or condemnation of the person or people who in turn may disagree or choose in turn to defend the subject matter at hand. He is not afraid to call out that which does not work for all, and yet never makes it a personal attack upon any one person - a true philosopher in this regard.

Shevon Simon

19/5/2015 03:44:47 am

I agree Adam, Serge has a remarkable way of pointing out what is not true in a non condemning way. Even if I don't understand all that is said at the time, what I have found is that in Serge's presence I cannot hold onto any defences too long and even if things don't make sense immediately they always do in time.

Michelle M Ryan

19/5/2015 02:04:17 pm

Well stated Adam, I fully agree. His ability to challenge matters in this way shows to me how far we have moved away from our true nature of being naturally caring and respectful of others.

Rowena Stewart

20/5/2015 02:30:24 pm

I completely agree Adam, I have never met anyone who can so naturally and lovingly call a spade a spade without offending, defending, judging or insulting anyone. We are so blessed to have a man who is not afraid to point out all the areas in our lives that are not working, despite our best efforts and in doing so, point to a way of living that can and does provide the results we are all seeking, health, vitality, love, joy. A true blessing in our rather messed up world.

Candida

21/5/2015 03:28:33 am

We are Rowena so very blessed to have Serge Benhayon in our lives, along with his family and all the students who have shared in this amazing wisdom and the reflection that brings to us all. Without them I'd still be sorely contributing to the mess in our world today so I deeply appreciate the choices I've made since coming to this and the blessing it's brought us all.

Shevon Simon

23/5/2015 06:07:56 am

We indeed are blessed and what you say Rowena about Serge pointing out all the areas of our lives that are not working is so true. From the minute I heard about Universal Medicine I knew there was Truth and Love there - no question. What kept me away was all of the life ideals I was seeking, with the biggest one being benevolence. This one is taking some years to unravel as at each turn I see how I have lived a life of negating myself for others. Through the great blessing that is Universal Medicine I have been able to see how all of my endeavours to play small, be nice and put others ahead of me has been a big source of my woes and actually perpetuates a lack of self-worth and self-loathing. (Clearly not working!) I spent many years seeking and nothing brought me to this awareness apart from Universal Medicine. It has been through the act of developing connection, listening more deeply to myself and taking care of me that I am now a much more loving, considerate and understanding person in my relationships. The support provided by Serge and the Universal Medicine practitioners is never ending.

Judy Young

26/6/2015 02:13:01 pm

So well said Adam that is exactly how Serge communicates - with love for all.

Jonathan Stewart

21/9/2015 11:20:50 pm

I totally agree Adam. What I realise that in his expression there is no investment in what he is communicating. Therefore he has nothing to defend or endeavour to convince. What is communicated is just presented and then it is up to the individual to respond or react in anyway that they choose. This is a freedom and a responsibility that for some is too great and so they react and can attack. For others it is an opportunity to grow and a true gift of love.

Heather Pope

27/8/2017 12:26:12 pm

Being willing to be outspoken, to be different to the crowd, to voice what might be unpopular are the signs of a great leader. Such is the man that Serge Benhayon is.

Rosanna Bianchini

17/5/2015 03:57:40 am

At that point in time in 2006 when I heard about Serge Benhayon, I chose not to come to Universal Medicine Esoteric Healing Level 1. I had just finished several years of training in body work and kinesiology and I assumed the courses were 'educational' – and I had had my fill of studying! What was later to change my understanding of the Esoteric Healing courses were the Heart Chakra presentations. When I listened to Serge present with understanding, patience, wisdom and a natural ability to bring the listener along step by step through energetic laws and philosophical understanding, I knew I had met a true practitioner. I agree Jonathan, Serge has lead every workshop and healing course I have attended with the utmost care and integrity. Serge is a man who knows love and humility alongside the enormous wisdom he brings to life, and for this example I am truly thankful.

Lorraine Harris

18/5/2015 02:37:19 am

Your comment Rosanna resonated with me because I had done so many courses over the years that the last thing I wanted was another course and yet the moment I heard Serge speak, I knew that there was something different about the way he presented and the wisdom he shared, the deep philosophical understanding and that it wasn't about studying but a knowing that just made sense. It was as if he was re-activating something within me. As you said, 'Serge is a man who knows love and humility alongside the enormous wisdom he brings to life, and for this example I am truly thankful'.

Joan Calder

29/5/2015 10:26:21 pm

Rosanna and Lorraine, I also had given up on all the therapies and alternative healings I had experienced for many years, having started to see through them and know there was something deeper, but I didn't know what. I gave up searching and decided to "go it on my own" and find myself that way. But the old influences and beliefs were still there. Then my daughter told me about the Heart Chakra 1 course she had attended, and about the gentle breath meditation. That was it, I knew this was what I had been missing. Since then, meeting and learning and being inspired by Serge Benhayon, my whole life has changed, and that old feeling of longing for something deeper is not there any more, for Serge has made it possible for me to be open and hear truth about the way I was living, and the way I/we can live if we choose that amount of responsibility. He is always there supporting and holding us in his love, whatever choices we make, and always, always an inspiration and example of a life truly lived with love, respect and integrity.

elodie darwish

18/5/2015 04:55:35 am

Thank you Jonathon. I couldn't agree with you more. Serge Benhayon and his family have been an absolute inspiration to me on so many levels. His way with people is really astounding, and not in a way that leaves you feeling like you've been taken to another planet. Your feet are very firmly on the ground when in Serge's presence and when you're met by him what you feel is an absolute equality, nothing more, nothing less.

Jonathan Stewart

17/9/2015 12:35:42 am

So true, Elodie. So many 'great presenters' or 'gurus' make you feel amazing and able to make you believe what they are presenting but is not congruent with living in the everyday world. As you say Serge keeps "Your feet are very firmly on the ground". What he presents is common sense and cuts through the confusion of the conflicting ideals and beliefs that we collect as we grow.

Zoe Sherrin

18/5/2015 06:07:39 am

Jonathon you mentioned how marvellous Serge’s patience is and I whole heartily agree. Serge’s patience truly inspires me and I know it comes from his love of humanity and the fact that he actually sees everyone as equal. I use the word actually because a lot of us have a construct in our mind that we are all equal but we don’t actually live this way and thus comparison, jealousy, frustration and impatience can entre. Serge does not defend what he presents, he simply presents and respects all and is not ever offended by anyone who rejects his presentations. This shows the equal-ness he lives in and why he is naturally patient.

Lorraine Harris

20/5/2015 01:12:24 am

I agree Zoe. Your comment about having a construct in our mind that we are all equal but not actually living it is so true. It takes work on ourselves and a depth of understanding to not have any comparison, frustration etc. Serge demonstrates it is possible to love all equally. He is a living example of love in action.

Shevon Simon

24/5/2015 03:02:15 am

Wow Zoe, the way you describe equalness makes so much sense. It is because Serge knows that the truth he is presenting is in all of us equally and he holds that awareness whilst interacting that there is no need to defend, prove a point, worry, get frustrated or entertain any of those emotions as in time we will all come to the same truth as many of us are finding.

Simon Voysey

11/6/2015 07:47:31 am

It is inspiring how patient I have noticed Serge Benhayon is, not in the usual way of biting ones lip or tapping a foot, holding back ones true feeling of how another is behaving. More-so, through a genuine love for humanity and for each individual, seeing their uniqueness and being joyfully embracing of it, the patience is a natural inclination to allow others their own time and space to evolve. So patience would not be a word that necessarily would enter into Serge's mind. When I allow myself to see the true beauty of people, even if somewhat submerged in their psyche, it takes out any need for effort in remaining patient or tolerant of others.

Jonathan Stewart

24/9/2015 11:46:31 pm

This is great point you make, Simon, that when we connect with a person for who they truly and as equal as oneself patience is no longer an appropriate term. Instead there is just spaciousness.

Natalie Hawthorne

13/9/2015 10:38:45 pm

Zofia really well said the way in which Serge actually holds everyone equal is extremely inspiring. The way he connects to our inner essence as the same as his leaves no room for comparrison and jealous as it is impossible because we are all made with the same pure essences. It is this that Serge Benhayon honours, cherishes, embodies and lives in all that he does and with all that he meets. Truly Beautiful.

Hanah Morden

14/9/2015 10:30:57 am

Zoe - Serge certainly has patience unlike anyone else I have known. He has been sharing wisdom and love with us for over a decade, some of it the same messages, allowing us to truly understand what is being delivered in our own time. That level of love he has is profound. And I have never ever felt pressured or forced into 'getting' something that is delivered. It is truly a gift.

Kathleen Baldwin

18/5/2015 07:37:18 am

Thank you Jonathan for sharing what I too have experience with Serge Benhayon. His integrity, honesty, openness and absolute respect for others is such that it inspires one instantly and demonstrates clearly that there is another way to be.

Natalie Hawthorne

20/5/2015 03:02:40 pm

Kathleen I totally agree the way Serge lives is an instant reflection that there is indeed another way of living full of respect, integrity, dedication and commitment towards ourselves and just as equally with others.

Rowena Stewart

25/5/2015 05:48:50 am

Well said Kathleen and Natalie, Serge Benhayon is an instant reflection, one that shows us all there is another way to live in this world with true commitment and care. This constant reflection has supported so many of us to trust in love and in one another again. Serge is a living and breathing inspiration.

Tricia Nicholson

18/5/2015 07:35:57 pm

This is such a true and beautiful testimonial on Serge Benhayon that I know too and agree with in every way 100% and more. Serge Benhayon is the most amazing man living the absolute truth and wisdom that we all truly know . His love, integrity, compassion and understanding, time and respect for everyone is unheard of in this world today and his presence is a blessing to humanity for us all.Thank you Johnathan for this tribute and sharing.

Coleen Hensey

26/5/2015 06:56:14 pm

What a beautiful truth you share here, Tricia, that Serge Benhayon and "presence is a blessing to humanity for us all." Such a gorgeous way to express that truth. Thank you.

Mary-Louise Myers

19/5/2015 02:52:14 am

I attended a one day workshop in 2006 where a medical practitioner who also attended challenged most of what Serge Benhayon presented the whole day, at times attacking him with nasty innuendoes. I was totally blown out at how patient and loving Serge was with this women how he never defended nor made her wrong just continued to embrace her with love. I have since witnessed this same way of being with all obnoxious participants over the last 10 years. He has never been changed this is truly inspirational.

Rowena Stewart

21/5/2015 02:56:13 pm

Your comment Mary Louise reminds me of how I used to be when first attending Universal Medicine events, always challenging and questioning, continually looking for proof and evidence that what Serge Benhayon was presenting was true. Every question was always met with complete openness and respect by Serge, he never once sought to escape my question or put me down and answered all my questioning with the truth. Gradually over the years I stopped being Mrs Obnoxious because I began to feel that the questions I was asking were coming from my own insecurities and the more events I attended the more my insecurities were melting away. These days I have no need to challenge and question, because I can feel for myself the deep truth of what is presented and the immense love that Serge holds us all in.

Josephine Bell

27/5/2015 06:10:18 am

I have also been witness to Serge's quiet, dignified and respectful equilibrium when being questioned by those that were arrogant and disrespectful themselves. The level of love in which he meets these people never ceases to inspire and amaze me.

Michelle McWaters

19/5/2015 01:39:31 pm

I love how you sum up Serge Benhayon's integrity here. I have experienced everything that you talk of and relate to everything you have said. He is singularly the most inspirational person I have ever met - no bells and whistles, simply a gentle expression of love and truth that is accessible and that makes sense. There is no expectation or investment in me "getting it", but I am always held in the deepest love and respect - something I have been able to increasingly appreciate as the years roll by.

Brendan Mooney

19/5/2015 09:19:12 pm

Thank you Jonathan, I too was challenged in my beliefs about health and healthcare, but Serge Benhayon surpassed all levels of integrity I had experienced and hence I also began to embrace a far more all encompassing approach to health and wellness.

Natalie Hawthorne

20/5/2015 04:26:55 am

Jonathan I have had the pleasure of knowing you when you started your first course with Serge Benhayon and what a transformation that has taken place. The integrity that Serge lives every moment in has most definitely inspired you as I now see it in what you do. Your testimony says a lot to have been content and at a high level of accomplishment but to realise that that wasn't it and what Serge Benhayon lives and presents is speaks volumes. Thank you for sharing.

Gill Randall

20/5/2015 04:47:00 am

I can feel the absolute Truth in your testimonial about Serge Benhayon, Jonathan. What you describe from your first encounter is my experience too, and is repeated every time Serge presents. There's no 'off' days, no change in the integrity with which he teaches every course. There's a consistency second to none for us all to experience .

Chan Ly

20/5/2015 05:56:16 am

I agree completely Jonathon. My life has changed too since I was introduced to Serge Benhayon. I knew from the very beginning that what Serge presented was absolute truth but it took me a while to fully commit to taking responsibility for my life. At the very beginning, I chose to delay making a commitment to change my life, even though I was feeling anxiety, moody and unsure in my everyday life. What I realised was that I could go to many courses and presentations but if I wasn't prepared to apply what I have learnt into my daily life, the change I wanted wasn't going to come from just listening or talking about it, I had to live it. So, on New Year’s Day of 2013, I decided to change something I have felt for many, many years in my body that I had to change but had been avoiding it. I chose to cut out diary, gluten, caffeine, refined sugar (chocolate, cakes, etc). I didn't drink alcohol, coffee or smoke, so food had always been my comfort. I had chosen to listen to my body and was inspired by a dear friend and Universal Medicine. This I felt was my first commitment to loving and caring for myself, I felt so amazing. I am learning and inspired every day to live my life with love and truth in full. I must admit I have experienced some challenges but they have all been self-created. How much I am willing to commit to love and truth is entirely up to me. No one can convince or push me to make those changes, it had to come from me, and it all boils down to taking responsibility for my own choices.

Shevon Simon

31/5/2015 04:25:55 am

What you say is so true Chan Ly. What Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine offer is not a 'attend a workshop and you will be fixed' solution. It is a way of living from our inner hearts. A way of living that one can only choose to make for themselves if they feel it is true. When I have made changes before I've been ready and felt it for myself it has been a disaster and the reason for a self-created mess, BUT when I have made loving choices when I have felt deeply that this is the way to go to look after me and be a better person, the transformation in how I feel, my body shape and the letting go of destructive patterns has been extraordinary.

Rowena Stewart

2/6/2015 01:19:48 pm

Well said Chan, "No one can convince or push me to make those changes, it had to come from me, and it all boils down to taking responsibility for my own choices." That is exactly my experience too, at some point I realised that just sitting on my bum and listening to what Serge presented was not going to do it, I had to get off my bum and actually make some new choices in my life. The results have been amazing and I have been continually inspired by a man who never ceases to refine his choices every day. We are living proof that taking responsibility for all of our selves is definitely worth it, the wealth of good health, love and joy are true gifts to those who make the effort.

Jonathan your comments very much reflect my own perception about Serge Benhayon on first meeting him and with ongoing connection. As a health practitioner, with over 30 years experience in both conventional and alternative medicine, I have always found that what Serge has presented has truly complemented what I had learned, yet also took the depth of understanding I had, to a place where I was able to question many prevalent attitudes and beliefs about healing and health. The beliefs in question,were ones which either explicitly or implicitly suggested that healing is about not being sick rather than being about building a great quality of life, effectively reducing quality of life to functionality; The other suggestion was that we must place our faith mostly in a medicine, an opinion or practice without addressing how to truly empower ourselves by getting in touch with our own innate capacity to heal. In exploring how these suggestions have had an affect on myself as both a patient and practitioner, I have benefitted greatly as a human being and so have many of my clients. And as you state, this continues to occur as my studies with Serge and Universal Medicine continue.

Jonathan,
It is a gift to be able to question what we consider as 'the way' to do things.
Many people - including myself - can be stubbornly set in what is perceived as right - but the real question is - is this right for our bodies and for humanity, or is it only right by the standards of society. That has been a tough one for me to keep looking at, and your experience here shares the absolute beauty that comes with being honest about our choices.

David Nicholson

21/5/2015 02:27:28 pm

Jonathan I equally felt the absolute truth and love from the moment I met Serge Benhayon even though as you've shared much of what Serge presented challenged the way I was living. The fact that I felt an instant deep trust (never felt that before) combined with a deep knowing meant I knew my life was forever changed. Like you I was thinking and projecting I had it all sorted and I approached life and people from that complete arrogance. The more I reflect on this and hear other stories the more I can see the real strength in truth.

Amelia Stephens

21/5/2015 08:16:29 pm

Serge's patience is indeed inspirational. He has been presenting the same truths for many years, yet he does not tire in delivering them and on the contrary appears to grow in love for all he meets and supports every day. This is just not seen anywhere else. Serge is a truly remarkable man.

Lorraine Harris

22/5/2015 04:49:10 am

As you say Chan Ly, we can attend the workshops but it is making the changes in ourselves that is necessary in order to live life with love for ourselves. Yes, it has its challenges but the great thing is to appreciate the changes we do make, allowing the process to happen naturally as we are ready to take more responsibility for our own choices.

Greg Jordan link

Thanks Jonathon for an awesome very clear and truthful testimonial , I have also witnessed what you have stated . Serge Benhayon has been very inspirational to listen to and to observe over the years.
The consistency of the life he lives free of emotional turmoil and readily available to help the many who ask is an amazing thing to witness in another.

Shevon Simon

6/6/2015 05:31:41 am

These two things Greg leave me mouth aghast and in awe of what I see in Serge Benhayon: the fact that he does not live with emotions and has time for everyone. Serge is forever saying that what we see in him is equally what is in us. This provides me with great encouragement when I do find myself getting emotional or caught in being pressed for time.

Richard Mills

24/5/2015 01:46:20 am

Lovely testimony Jonathan. I feel for me it was Serge's absolute humbleness that allowed me to be open to what he was sharing. No sense of promoting himself at all, but simply that he was - and is the vessel through which truth flows. This has not changed one iota in the 4 years I have known him.

Michelle M Ryan

1/6/2015 05:17:30 pm

I agree Richard, Serge Benhayon's quality of humility is both inspiring and welcoming

Rowena Stewart

1/6/2015 05:42:29 pm

So beautifully said Richard, Serge Benhayon's humility is awesome. Serge has the true balance of humility, for being a vessel of truth, and the joyful pride in being a Son of God, qualities that pour forth and leave behind the most delicious wake for us all to walk in. What amazes me the most is that this does not change, but it does deepen in quality and strength as the absolute dedication to Love that he chooses every day becomes a reality in his body. A true inspiration that uplifts not by intellectual theories but by a real living embodiment of Truth.

Judith

24/5/2015 12:30:15 pm

Even though he was consistently challenged by myself and others at no time did he argue or attempt to persuade." This is very true Serge Benhayon is an outstanding presenter, he has no need to defend or justify anything he presents and at the same time stands in the truth of what he presents with a steadiness and consistency that is remarkable. Meeting him and acknowledging in full this fact leads to a lot of questioning whether the way we learn to live life is really true and what more is possible. If he can do it than what keeps us from being the same?

Michelle M Ryan

24/5/2015 03:18:45 pm

Serge Benhayon is the real deal whom I have always known from the moment I met him, is true to the bone. However, the more I listen to him speak and as I let go of old selfish and prideful ways, I am coming to understand the really true richness he offers each and every one of us. What an absolute privilege it is to have him in my life.

Hannah Morden

1/6/2015 02:06:08 pm

Beautifully said Michelle - Serge has done much more than inspire me - he has also allowed me to see the equality on offer based on my choices. How he is and the wisdom he holds, is held by everyone - and it is how we choose to express it that differs.

Eva Rygg

4/6/2015 06:58:44 pm

That is so true Michelle - it is an absolute privilege to have Serge Benhayon in our lives. What this man brings to humanity will one day be known by all.

Joel Levin

4/6/2015 07:38:26 pm

Real Deal is the simplest and most accurate way to put it Michelle... Thank you Jonathan for sharing your experience with this real deal.

Francene Cartaar

24/5/2015 06:50:54 pm

Jonathan, it was really interesting to read of your experience, particularly as you yourself are a professional in the healthcare/well being industry. To participate in any of the workshops or presentations by Serge is life changing. We are indeed fortunate.

Sandra Schneider

25/5/2015 02:20:37 pm

Isn't it profound and speaks volumes that this man (Serge Benhayon) is able to challenge nearly all aspects of your live - like you described Jonathan - in just one event without you turning away! What he presents is often shaking our buildings of behaviours and beliefs so they collapse- So why is it that we stay and want to hear more? To be really honest: In truth I know that these buildings of mine are made to fall, that they are not truth. And here comes a man who has the courage to say how it is, who lets the carts fall down - no matter what. Deeply inside I know the truth and here I am responding to it when it is presented/expressed - if I have the courage to allow myself this feeling. So what is needed is courage - I thought, but as I said this to Serge he replied: no, it is love. And I understand slowly what is going on: it is not needed to fight, to convince or to be courageous - all what is needed is to not give up on love. Never. And so here is this man, Serge Benhayon - full of Love and in Love with all equally so, presenting us what we are - but gave up: Love.
And thats why we are staying and asking for more - because we made the choice to claim our love again, to not give up again.
Serge Benhayon did not gave up on his "being love" and also he did not give up on me being love (even though I did) - Thats what I call a true friend!

Coleen Hensey

26/5/2015 06:51:57 pm

We don't often hear health practitioners advising us to be more love and to make our lives more loving, do we Sandra? And yet when Serge presents that, his livingness of that truth resonates with the same truth within ourselves and becomes our truth also. That is amazing!

Shevon Simon

7/6/2015 05:26:43 am

Because in truth this is what we all want - Love and Serge Benhayon is the first person I've come across who has been able to show us the way to Love, because he has walked those very same steps.

Josephine Bell

27/5/2015 05:57:16 am

Simply beautiful, Sandra and powerfully put.

David

27/5/2015 02:14:36 pm

Sandra I love what you've shared here and the simplicity in the fact that one man, Serge Benhayon, through being and living all the love he is has shown us and continues to show us that we are equally that love. that contrary to what society may tell us it's not about amassing things or keeping ourselves busy but simply about claiming the love we equally are. That is exactly what a true and very dear friend would do.

Rowena Stewart

29/5/2015 01:59:01 pm

So very well said Sandra, I agree and this was my experience too. With every presentation another great wall of beliefs and ideals would collapse in a big dusty pile of rubble, revealing more of the very simple, natural truth I am. And because the truth that Serge Benhayon lives and speaks of is also my truth and your truth, we know it deep within and keep returning. Every course, workshop and healing session breaks down more crusty old beliefs, ideals, patterns to reveal who we truly are, glorious loving beings. Thank goodness Serge Benhayon never gave up on Love and never gives up on us either, despite our own despair. Serge's dedication is unparalleled and he is most definitely a true friend to us all and to the whole of humanity.

Michelle M Ryan

30/5/2015 03:27:11 pm

"Serge Benhayon did not gave up on his "being love" and also he did not give up on me being love (even though I did) - Thats what I call a true friend!"
I fully agree Sandra, his way of living is a great example of how to really truly love ourselves and other people.

Hannah Morden

19/6/2015 02:17:48 pm

Absolutely Sandra - to have a constant reflection of your potential no matter what your choices are, is love it all its forms. Serge Benhayon has not given up on humanity, and will continue to reflect our potential until we truly all step forward.

Gill Randall

31/5/2015 03:36:30 pm

That's so true Sandra, It's the Love that Serge holds us in, even when we don't hold ourselves in Love, but we can feel it. That's what draws us back to ask for more, because we know we can also choose to return to our Love too.

Rowena Stewart

5/6/2015 01:47:11 pm

Beautiful comment Sandra, Serge Benhayon is a true friend indeed. It is a powerful point that Serge is able to challenge the very foundations upon which we have built our lives, the floor we have walked on, and we don't turn away. The clarity of his presentation comes straight from his heart and speaks to the truth in our hearts, which has always been there, but is not commonly acknowledged. As you say, we know that we have constructed a false basis to our lives, and scary as it can be at times when these fall down, the truth that is revealed as a consequence provides us, maybe for the first time in our lives, a true footing on which to move forward. We stay because we feel met by Serge Benhayon with truth, love, appreciation and wisdom that resides in us too and offers us true resolution to our self made problems.

Simon Voysey

8/8/2015 06:03:30 am

So well expressed Sandra, Serge Benhayon so simply and naturally honours how we all deep down know the truth and understands that when it is presented without frills or complication, we are presented with a choice - to claim what we know, or to run back to the old lifestyle, which is fundamentally built on avoiding truth and has brought mankind to the mess it is in.

Jonathan Stewart

15/10/2015 12:34:28 am

Beautifully expressed Sandra. He, Serge Benhayon, not only presents but lives love in all that he does. There is no separation of the two so that there is only truth. Anything, therefore, that is not true is exposed and it becomes our choice whether to resist or to allow the facades to crumble and in their place our love and truth be restored. Eventually even the resistance will crumble as love and truth are indestructible.
SB

Hannah Morden

25/5/2015 05:08:53 pm

Serge has a level of integrity which is sadly rare to see in this world.
Its sad because as Serge has told us all, we can live that too if we choose.
Serge reflects everything to us that we already are but in some cases are not living.
That reflection can be too much for some, or an absolute inspiration for others. I choose the latter, to be honest about where I am at and where I can be. Thank you Jonathan for your testimonial. Filled with truth and reflection.

Dianne Trussell link

26/5/2015 06:20:09 am

The fact that a practitioner such as you Jonathan, deeply invested in your own way, could express such a high opinion of Serge Benhayon and his work, does indeed speak volumes. Generally, a successful 'competitor' will trigger jealousy and protection, but you have instead experienced a great opening.

Rowena Stewart

10/6/2015 05:42:33 am

It does speak volumes Dianne, I agree. So often when attending a new training the delegates are continually assessing the validity of the presentation against the value of their own training, skills and competence, looking for the parts that prove their own training to be better and the areas that can be used to further their own agenda. The quality of Serge Benhayon's presentations clearly come from another realm, as whatever question is posed about Universal Medicine is supported by tangible energetic evidence and an extremely sensible wisdom. Coupled with this is the fact that Serge Benhayon lacks any kind of one-up-manship and is always quick to support, appreciate and acknowledge another person's integrity and sincerity. Jonathan's decision to relinquish his professional practice was not taken lightly, but based on the fact that what he met in Serge Benhayon resonated deeply with his own commitment to the truth and to healing. What Jonathan felt in that first meeting was indeed an enormous opening and judging by the results today, one that has had an enormously beneficial impact on him.

Coleen Hensey

26/5/2015 06:48:07 pm

I too was struck by this Jonathan: "Serge handled bodies with a tenderness, respect and reverence that I had not experienced before in all the years of my training and practice." It is that quality of interaction that has us experience Serge and all esoteric practitioners as offering something not found elsewhere in the healing modalities.

Joan Calder

4/6/2015 11:54:56 am

I was also struck by the way Jonathan expresses the quality with which Serge handles bodies, Coleen, and have always felt a depth of tenderness and gentleness of his touch deeper than I have ever met before. I am also experiencing how Serge has a quality of incredible focus and presence when he places his hands on someone.If he is demonstrating on one person the whole room becomes still, and there is such a intense beauty about the whole procedure, as though time is suspended. It is utter love and respect in action.

Shevon Simon

9/6/2015 04:31:52 am

I recall my first experience of an esoteric healing modality was the esoteric breast massage with a Universal Medicine Practitioner. That session has had a lasting effect on me for two reasons: the way the practitioner closed the treatment room door very gently and the way she placed the blanket over me. I remember telling a friend about the session afterwards and how it was like being wrapped up like a baby it was so loving. At that time I was seeking and dabbling in various healing therapies. When a crisis happened and I needed some support a year later, out of all the therapies I'd explored I sought the support of the Universal Medicine practitioner. For me that was the end of trying any different therapy. This woman treated me with such understanding and compassion and I was able to feel safe to share what I'd been feeling that somewhere deep inside I knew this was the real deal.

Josephine Bell

27/5/2015 05:59:34 am

Jonathan, I really enjoyed your blog and your descriptions of Serge Benhayon and the quality he presents in. It is a testimony to the way Serge is that you were able to open to what he was saying albeit at the cost of what you had built your life upon and it is also a testimony to you and your love of truth.

Rowena Stewart

20/11/2015 07:54:03 pm

It is a huge testimony to the incredibly honest, respectful way that Serge Benhayon brings truth to our door and graces us with the space to ponder and digest what is said. This quality is the hallmark of Serge Benhayon, a man who holds a space for others to make their choices within, no impatience or investment in the outcome, all delivered with a complete honesty and firm adherence to the truth. If you really want to know about life and why we stuff up, then ask the questions and keep your ears open, otherwise don't bother. Serge Benhayon never holds back from saying what needs to be said without one iota of judgment or emotion, a true gift to humanity as we sorely need to hear what this mans has to say.

Esther Andras

28/5/2015 03:45:11 am

Jonathan, this is a super beautiful and touching testimonial about the man Serge Benhayon is. A love letter to a man of love.

Simon Williams

28/5/2015 01:27:13 pm

The absolute respect that you feel for Serge, and have done since that first weekend, comes through so clearly Jonathan. Its quite something to read, and mirrors my own. You describe Serge's love and at the same time his strength and commitment to a truth that has been unwavering in all the time I have known him - its been a delight to read.

Michelle M Ryan

28/5/2015 02:14:17 pm

Serge Benhayon - a man who walks his talk. He is someone I can listen to every day for all the common sense and no nonsense approach that he shares with all.

Heather Pope

27/8/2017 12:28:36 pm

When someone walks their talk, they quickly become a role model for others, for there is nothing more supportive that the truth.

Joan Calder

29/5/2015 11:45:40 pm

This is an inspiring and beautifully expressed testimonial Jonathan, and a description of a truly tender and loving man who shares all of himself with everyone equally and consistently that I can also testify as also being my experience. Sometimes it is hard to describe to those who do not know Serge how he lives his life and with what love and responsibility, it always sounds too good to be true, but we know it is, and that Serge is also natural and an ordinary man living a normal life. He lives himself.

Shevon Simon

8/6/2015 02:30:44 am

This is so true Joan, Serge Benhayon is the most loving person I have ever come across. His consistent love and the love and support from the Universal Medicine practitioners has enabled me, a deeply shy and reserved person to open up in ways I only dreamt was possible. I always believed and held onto for dear life the belief that love was 'out there' and that you had to do something to get it. Now because of Serge and Universal Medicine I know and can feel that I am Love and that it lives within me and that there is No-thing any of us could ever do to get Love as it's inside of us. This is what Serge has come to show the world.

Carola Woods link

30/5/2015 06:49:43 am

Thank you Jonathan for sharing this powerful testimony. It is my experience also that Serge Benhayon presents in a way that invites all to question for themselves and discern what feels true, to not just take his word for it. I found this empowering and I have been constantly inspired to deepen this relationship with myself, and my truth. I love how you expressed that Serge ‘constantly and unwaveringly met everyone equally’. It is truly extraordinary to feel how Serge does meet you with the same amount of immense love, equally as he does with everyone else, his family included. And that whatever Serge presents he does from a place of honoring that we all are equally capable of the same, if we choose to honor this for ourselves. Serge Benhayon is a blessing to us all, a blessing for humanity, as with consistent dedication he lives the eternal Love that we all are.

Rowena Stewart

4/6/2015 02:04:05 pm

So true Carola I love your last sentence, "Serge Benhayon is a blessing to us all, a blessing for humanity, as with consistent dedication he lives the eternal Love that we all are." Serge Benhayon holds dear to Love, in the midst of daily life, no different in its stresses and strains to anyone else's (and sometimes a lot worse). Serge clearly demonstrates that living a life of love is attainable in a modern day setting, no need to withdraw from society or create a moat around oneself. Serge's example has enabled many people to claim a life of love too, restoring simplicity, vitality and joy into each ordinary day consistently so. His example is a true blessing to humanity.

Michelle M Ryan

31/5/2015 02:29:58 pm

If one chooses to turn a blind eye to all that they can see before them in the truth of who Serge Benhayon is, one cannot ignore the 4 fine, wise children he has raised who are too, taking the world by storm with their commitment to life and helping people. A man could not raise children as such if he were not what they already are.

Vicky Cooke

2/6/2015 02:38:07 pm

'By the end of the morning break I was having to question everything that I held to be true about healing.' That is some workshop! : ) and this was only after a few hours! What Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine present is very sobering.

Simon Voysey

2/6/2015 07:07:03 pm

Hi Vicky, Great you picked up on that. I will add… everything I held to be true about LIFE. This occurred because up until my first meetings with Serge and certainly leading up to that first workshop, I did not allow myself to believe that truth in a raw and pure form could be accessible on this planet. I had tried many things. Yet from this first encounter, something stirred within me that felt it was possible and that indeed, I had known one unified truth and accessed it before.

Rebecca Briant

6/6/2015 03:48:12 pm

I agree vicky, it can be a lot to take in and at times be very challenging on everything you have held human life to be, but what Serge presents is so simple and obvious that he is often voicing what many have felt but never put into words.

Joan Calder

9/6/2015 12:09:35 am

So true Vicky, it can be very shocking to realise that your whole life has been lived in illusion, but that there is another way that is truly loving, not with the emotional and mental way we have responded to life that is the accepted norm. It is a big transition to make, and the fact that Serge Benhayon lives this process himself in every moment of his life, inspires us to trust ourselves with something that seems so enormous at the time and almost impossible, but with day by day attention to detail and observation of ourselves, and slowly opening up our hearts, we can also make the change.

Lorraine Harris

17/11/2015 12:48:30 pm

I was at that workshop too Vicky and it stopped me in my tracks. I had attended many courses and thought I knew about energy, having trained with one of the large healing organisations, as well as attending other various workshops. Nowhere had I heard that there was a choice of energies on the planet. From that point I knew I had to listen and understand the options and if what Serge presented made sense, then I needed to down tools and let go of what I was doing and find out more. From then on I started to go to what was on offer at Universal Medicine. It was the best decision I ever made. Thanks to Serge Benhayon, I feel I now understand more about energy, what love is and so much more about the bigger picture of life and the Universe.

Simon Williams

3/6/2015 12:52:36 pm

It is an extraordinary quality, the way in which his presentations can challenge some of the most basic assumptions we have been living, and yet there is no judgement. It is simply a presentation of what he knows to be true, with an equal understanding of where I or we are coming from when we challenge it that allows these life changing presentations to really be felt and considered as another way to live.

Vicky Cooke

4/6/2015 06:20:17 am

I love Serge, and you are right, no matter who he is presenting to he does not hold back. How many of us calculate or calibrate what we are saying instead of presenting all we know in a loving and unimposing way. For me this is so inspiring.

Eva Rygg

4/6/2015 06:10:29 pm

Thank you Jonathan - I absolutely concur with what you are sharing about your personal experience with Serge Benhayon. This man lives and serves from the highest level of integrity and I find that words alone cannot describe the enormity of what he brings and what he offers to anyone who are open for it, never EVER would he impose his teachings on to anyone. That is quite unique in a world that fights to get our attention and are always keen to 'sell' us something.

Michelle M Ryan

5/6/2015 04:33:25 pm

'With that comes an enormous responsibility and a deep respect for everyone that is felt in every meeting with him.' I fully concur with this statement and I have always felt the depth of that respect every time I meet Serge Benhayon.

Michelle M Ryan

6/6/2015 02:05:07 pm

When meeting spiritual teachers in the past, I always came away elated and at the same time, untrusting. When meeting Serge Benhayon, I felt like I had come home, that the journey had ended and I had found what I had been searching for; truth and my connection to myself.

Rebecca Briant

6/6/2015 03:46:22 pm

I can completely concur with your description of the first time I met Serge. I too went to see him on a recommendation, not knowing it would be the day that changed my life. I met a man who was deeply respectful and amazingly loving. And since then this has not changed, but only increased.

Ingrid Ward

9/6/2015 05:11:28 pm

Like you Rebecca I went to my first Serge Benhayon workshop on a recommendation, flying over from New Zealand and having no idea why, except that the impulse to do so felt so huge that it couldn't be ignored. And every day since, I have appreciated that I didn't ignore it, as also like you, it was the day that my life changed forever; it was the day I stopped just existing and began to starting living.

sandra williamson

12/6/2015 04:22:06 am

Jonathon you have described brilliantly the truth of Serge's being: " he did not hold back from expressing his truth. It was the way that he did this that enabled me to hear what he presented instead of reacting and rejecting what he had to say."

Michelle M Ryan

12/6/2015 02:51:49 pm

I observed Serge Benhayon talking with some one yesterday and so enjoyed the holding grace with which he communicated. I too, whilst not in the conversation, felt held by that same grace and felt included. It was an inspiring moment.

Marcia Owen

13/6/2015 06:00:14 pm

Serge Benhayon is a man who lives love and truth. If there was ever a benchmark of what it would be to live life full of love, truth and integrity, this is the man who is setting it!

Anne mcRichie

15/6/2015 04:01:16 am

Absolutely Marcia, this has also been my experience. Over some 11 years I have observed as Jonathan has said, that Serge Benhayon does ‘not hold back from expressing his truth’. His constant invitation is ‘ for each of us to discern for ourselves what was true or not and not to take his word as gospel’. I am another who can attest to the fact that if there was ever a benchmark of what it would be to live life full of love, truth and integrity, ‘this is the man who is setting it’!

jenny McGee

22/6/2015 06:35:56 am

I totally agree Anne, Serge Benhayon has always presented in a way for others to feel and discern for themselves, never imposing his own views yet never wavering from the truth that he has himself felt and lived.

Lee Poole

9/8/2015 05:19:42 am

I completely agree Marcia. Serge Benhayon leads the way in living a life of truth and love.

Helen

13/6/2015 07:41:54 pm

I've learned an enormous amount about how to have real understanding and compassion - without an iota of judgement, superiority or pandering – from the absolutely consistent manner in which Serge Benhayon relates to others, all others no matter the stance they take with him. For this I am eternally appreciative and hold Serge as my role model for how to communicate with others.

Jessica Williams

21/6/2015 04:54:05 pm

Absolutely Helen - Serge's level of understanding of people in general, and especially when people ask him challenging questions/questions that try to get him to retaliate/react/defend is outstanding

Rik Connors

13/6/2015 10:55:41 pm

Thank you for writing Jonathan. I have never met anyone like Serge Benhayon who does not put you down, but lifts you. That's why I love this man. Unwavering love ALWAYS. Still to this day he never ceases to amaze me.

Matilda Clark

14/6/2015 04:40:52 pm

Amongst many gems in this testimonial, the word 'reverence' bounced out at me, since it encapsulates the absolute respect, tenderness and integrity with which I have observed Serge conduct himself in everything he does....whilst making what in one way is extraordinary totally ordinary. An invitation and inspiration for us all.

Michelle M Ryan

15/6/2015 02:39:39 pm

'What he presents he lives; therefore, a consistent foundational quality is assured with whatever he is involved in.' Serge Benhayon is absolutely rock solid, and for this, we are all very blessed.

Ingrid Ward

2/10/2015 10:12:01 am

I agree wholeheartedly Michelle: "Serge Benahyon is absolutely rock solid" and it has been this solidness that has served to build such a steady and strong foundation for me, and many others, to begin to look honestly at our lives and our way of living, and from this place to make the choices that have changed our lives way beyond anything I/we thought possible.

Joanne Swinton

15/6/2015 04:22:44 pm

For me the word that jumped out was 'patience'. Serge Benhayon absolutely treats everyone with dignity, respect and equality, and along with that shows a level of patience that I have not come across in my entire life. Endless questions never bother him in the slightest, and although he certainly knows he is presenting truth, there is never any pressure or urgency coming from him for anyone to 'get it'. I have one of his sayings on my desk "Time is Eternal, being patient is therefore wise". I have come to see that Serge Benhayon actually lives his quotes.

Steffi Henn

So well said Jo- this is what I admire so much too- Serge´s unwavering patience. There can´t be but only love, if you listen to a couple of hundred people who are always coming with the same issue, always with the same integrity, openness and dedication. I never feel, that I am too much and I never felt held like this in my life before. It is remarkable and the greatest gift to have met Serge Benhayon , who is the living proof of integrity, love and care for humanity.

Rowena Stewart

Very true Joanne, Serge Benhayon is a man of enormous patience and it is an awesome quality that presents itself to me in all those moments when I feel impatient with someone or want judge them. Serge's ability to hold steady regardless of what is coming at him is quite remarkable and certainly had a huge impact on me when I attended my first workshop. It was very illuminating to witness this immense steadfastness to presenting what is at times challenging information and meet every question with a steady assertion and gentle manner again and again. Truly awesome to observe and a very empowering quality to emulate.

Lee Poole

So true Joanne. Serge lives the fullness of what he presents and he has endless patience.

The way Serge Benhayon has just consistently presented truth is inspiring, allowing others to challenge their own beliefs and ideals always treating others as his equal and with respect.

Christine Hogan

Your words echo a truth I, and many other feel. It is very difficult to describe what happens when listening to someone speak, and every word is coming from everything you have felt to be true and is written in your heart. Serge Benhayon's wisdom is ancient and because it too, is known by us all, it feels like coming home for the first time in a very long time. Thank you Jonathan for this beautiful testimony and reflection which echo's a truth felt by us all.

Leigh Matson

Having known you Jonathan during that time before Universal Medicine I would of said nothing would have shaken you from kinesiology. But such is the power of truth when expressed as Serge Benhayon does endlessly so. It is a complete game and life changer to not only be presented with the truth but openly invited to explore and re-discover it for ourselves. I say re-discover as the presentations are never coming from a place of 'I know more than you' but from a platform of equality. All Serge presents are reminders of what we have not given our focus or attention towards for some time. Already this sets the stage for a willingness to be open to his presentations rather than being in the depression of believing that one will fail because they are going into the unknown unprepared which is not the case at all.

Michelle M Ryan

21/6/2015 02:29:41 pm

I was a kinesiologist in training when I came across Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon. Nothing could have swayed me from it, but over time with what I learned and discovered, I felt that it too would not lead me to the truth for which I had been searching and eventually, when I allowed myself, I could feel for myself that it was still keeping me away from who I am really am. Not once, did Serge ever impose this on me, it was through his presentations that I felt this truth for myself.

Rowena Stewart

7/7/2015 03:09:39 am

Very true Leigh Matson, both Jonathan and I were very determined that kinesiology was the be all and end all of alternative health and no other therapy got the results we did. It is a great testament to Serge Benhayon and his constant patience that never once did he tell us that what we were doing was wrong or ineffective and the beauty of this was that we went home and tried out it all out for ourselves. We came to our own conclusion about the true effects of kinesiology and esoteric healing, and like you say, turned our attention to core tenants of healing we had long forgotten about. The journey away from the kinesiology and into the esoteric was simply us responding to immensely tender and powerful healing that the esoteric was delivering to ourselves and our clients who had struggled with particular issues for years.The decision to leave the world of kinesiology behind was based on solid evidence and tangible shifts never previously experienced in our work, and proved beyond doubt the true worth of Serge Benhayon's teachings.

Jonathan Stewart

15/10/2015 12:50:32 am

Very well said, Rowena, "The decision to leave the world of kinesiology behind was based on solid evidence and tangible shifts never previously experienced in our work, and proved beyond doubt the true worth of Serge Benhayon's teachings." And to add that we were able to come to that realisation not because we were told what to do but were presented with ideas and practices in a way that did not judge or criticise what we were already doing but for us to explore if we so desired. We did, and came and came to the truth for ourselves.

Andrew Mooney

19/6/2015 02:16:38 pm

I agree Jonathan Stewart that Serge Benhayon is so consistent in his integrity and commitment to all equally. I have never witnessed him drop his standards or have an off day or treat one person any more or less than another. As a practitioner of conventional medicine I too was challenged by many of the things Serge Benhayon presented to me, but it was his underlying quality of character and presence and that everything he presented I felt I knew to be true too, that led me to keep exploring what he has to say to this day.

Simon Voysey

21/6/2015 06:54:16 am

Great blog to re-read and celebrate with Jonathan and others the ageless wisdom Serge Benhayon presents that we all know within us. It is great to appreciate the openness and courage to go beyond our own barriers and rediscover how that wisdom lies within ourselves and how sacred we all truly are.

Helen Simkins

22/6/2015 03:52:35 am

In the first Esoteric Healing modality workshop that I attended I discovered 2 things about being a student that would change the way I thought and learned forever:
1 That a true teacher presents from a place of equality with those that are learning and not from an elevated intellectual position
2 That our minds in fact consist of our whole body & being - and attempting to understand anything without this awareness means merely applying recall without the authority that clairsentience provides.
Without fail Serge Benhayon has taught in this way and delivered true education for which I am immensely grateful.

Josephine Bell

12/7/2015 07:40:33 am

Thank you for these very insightful comments from your experience of your first Healing Modality Workshop, Helen. Your second point, is awesome, true authority lies in that connection of body, mind, being and in my case, re-awakening to and acknowledging my clairsentience.

adam warburton

24/6/2015 07:27:47 pm

It is Serge's sensitivity and level of care for his patient that sets him apart as a practitioner in my view and is unrivalled in this regard. During a session, you feel completely met and understood, and that brings with it a healing that no amount of technique can equal.

Donna Gianniotis

26/6/2015 12:07:16 pm

A beautiful testimonial Jonathan. I can relate to what you have shared in feeling challenged initially by what Serge Benhayon presents. I too felt challenged having come from other healing modalities, as what Serge presents asks us to question have we just taken something on board (an ideal, belief or modality) because we have been told that this is the way instead of feeling for ourselves if it is true. As I began to connect with me, I soon realised that the answers were all there inside of me and I could no longer practise the modalities that I had learnt because I could feel that they were harming. This was a huge step. I know what Serge and Universal Medicine presents is my truth, not because someone has told me but because I have felt it in my body as true.

Joshua Campbell

28/6/2015 12:56:09 pm

This is what makes Serge's presentations so powerful. He is not there to defend or convert but simply present his own living way.

sandra williamson

27/6/2015 05:29:40 am

Jonothan I agree with your experience on Serges’s: “constant invitation, if not loving exhortation, was for each of us to discern for ourselves what was true or not and not to take his word as gospel.” This is what was presented on day one and eight years later still presented. This is part of our own responsibility for our livingness.

Joshua Campbell

2/7/2015 01:52:45 pm

I can feel the power of expressing Truth in your presentation Jonothan. For even within an hour of Serge's presentation all the foundations you had about your work and life were totally shifted.

Michelle M Ryan

4/7/2015 03:18:43 pm

It seems there are hundreds of people here all affirming to the consistency of the quality of love lived by Serge Benhayon, we might be on to something here. Consistently live love.

Heather Pope

27/8/2017 12:29:45 pm

What's amazing is Serge Benhayon from day 1 has always said, we are all equal when it comes to the essence within, the only question is do we know and live by that essence.

Gill Randall

6/7/2015 02:03:32 pm

I love how you describe that after a couple of hours of your very first encounter with Serge Benhayon, you were questioning your very basic foundation of your understanding of healing. This shows to me how open you were. I took a little longer, but I remember the same feeling of listening to Serge, questioning my past ideals, and knowing what I heard made sense and was truth.

Michelle M Ryan

6/7/2015 02:40:38 pm

'This event was to change my life'. This too is the same for me Jonathan. For which I am ever grateful. When I reflect back on my life 10 years ago to how it is today, I would never back then have believed the changes I have made were possible, all through one man's inspiration.

Michelle M Ryan

7/7/2015 02:46:49 pm

'I knew nothing about Serge but I trusted my friend’s recommendation.'
What an amazing and true friend to have brought you to this to be inspired to make all the changes you have made.

Impeccable integrity

Simon Voysey

9/7/2015 05:45:30 am

As a health care professional I have always felt supported by what Serge Benhayon has counselled, even though what he has offered has been challenging. The lived knowledge I began with when I met Serge Benhayon, gradually was being replaced with a live wisdom. Over time Serge encouraged me to continue in my profession and offered total respect around who I was and what I was practicing, even though I have understood since, that it was lacking the degree of care and integrity I am now able to practice with. The love and understanding Serge has offered both personally and in all his presentations has been life changing as much as it has been career changing and one part of the wisdom I am living more and more, is how much quality of life and of professional integrity are one and the same things.

Jonathan Stewart

31/7/2017 11:47:05 am

The unhurried, lovingly patient support that Serge Benhayon gives, which you describe so eloquently Simon, is something he gives to everyone and to everything in which he is involved. As you say the "quality of life and of professional integrity are one and the same things" and that is so much the wisdom he imparts.

Michael Nicholson

10/7/2015 06:54:04 pm

Everything that you've said here, Jonathan, resonates with me as a non practitioner. Which just goes to show the kind of beautiful and non judgmental person Serge is, treating everyone in complete equalness and with "tenderness, respect and reverence". I was fortunate to have a number of one to one sessions with Serge and, not having anything to measure them by, I kind of assumed that the way that Serge treated was normal. But as my relationship with him grew so it became completely clear that Serge was someone totally different - and as this evolved so I found someone for whom I have the deepest respect and, above all, love. He's a very special person.

Josephine Bell

12/7/2015 07:35:57 am

'He constantly showed respect to everyone equally even though, as I have come to appreciate over the years since then, he knew that what others were expressing was not true or accurate'. Beautifully described Jonathan, I have regularly witnessed this too, the utmost respect with which Serge Benhayon holds everyone, no matter what, it has affected me deeply and continues to be life-changing.

Heather Pope

13/7/2015 04:53:43 pm

Having attended Universal Medicine's Sacred Esoteric Healing Workshops over many years I can completely agree with your statement that there has never been an ounce of sexual innuendo in any of the courses, despite the fact they presented hands on healing.

Amelia Stephens

13/7/2015 07:54:15 pm

The sensitivity, warmth and immense love that is felt or observed through Serge's touch is something to be marked. There is a power in its connection that cannot be fathomed. It is an honour to have this man in my life.

Ingrid Ward

15/7/2015 04:22:59 am

When I have moments of questioning my life and where I am in it, why things mightn't appear to be running smoothly, when obstacles loom in front of me etc, I return to the day I first met Serge Benahyon and allow myself to see how far I have truly come. Nowadays these moments are much fewer and whereas in the past they were always threatening to overwhelm me, now they are simply opportunities to understand me and life a little more. The presentations from Serge offered me a clarity to a life that then didn’t make sense – now it does!

Natalie Hawthorne

15/7/2015 06:16:44 am

I too Jonathan was blown away by the deepest level of care for preparing and treating the client when Serge teaches this in Universal Medicine, Sarced Esoteric Healing courses. The explicit instructions and guide lines on how not to bring any sexual connotation and energy into any session what so ever was extremely clear and all hand positions are designed to not engage the body with a sexual tone what so ever. Having attended many courses and having had sessions with Serge, with out question the integrity of the client is beyond any respectful modality that I have experienced in the past. From this appreciation and inspiration in the way Serge works I have been able to bring this into the way I am also and it feels amazing.

Brendan Mooney

15/7/2015 08:48:52 pm

Serge Benhayon has shown more integrity than I had ever thought possible for a human being. When I have attended a course run by Serge Benhayon, his impeccable professionalism is but the tip of the iceberg...whilst most practitioners are satisfied as long as they meet their respective professional standards, Serge Benhayon goes way beyond that in providing truly loving support to all I have seen him in contact with.

Gail Fuller

19/7/2015 06:43:55 pm

You noted the respect and tenderness in which Serge Benhayon handles all of his clients. I have noted this for 14 years now, unchanged and if anything even more loving to support the body he is treating and teaching about. Serge never comprises on this ever, which is a true testament to his respect for humanity.

Vicky Cooke

20/7/2015 03:49:47 pm

I have read many books looking for the answer, gone to presentations, courses and workshops and Serge Benhayon is the ONLY person who has challenged the way we live and presented the true reason why we currently live so disharmoniously with ourselves and others. As you have said, 'The concepts that Serge presented challenged the very foundations upon which I based my understanding and approach to health, healthcare and healing.' Serge Benhayon is a true blessing allowing us to see the ill and unstable foundations we have laid for ourself, the world and life so we can take stock, feel reconnect to the love and truth within and build new ones that support all in truly evolving.

Dianne Trussell link

22/7/2015 07:37:46 pm

Jonathan I'd love to expand on your observation of Serge's "constant invitation, if not loving exhortation, was for each of us to discern for ourselves what was true or not and not to take his word as gospel." I have heard a particular guru in India say this, as well as some other people in other situations. In the case of the guru, I know that he most definitely DID want people to take his word as gospel! He was using that statement to make people think he was unattached to having 'disciples' and think he was ensuring they remained responsible for their choices. So he'd look like a good guy. He was pretty savvy in the way Westerners think and their resistance to blind devotion, so he was using a kind of 'reverse psychology'. But what he said was not true, he did not mean it, and I could feel that. However with Serge, when he says to discern for yourselves, it <i>IS</i> true, and I can feel that he has no attachment to what people choose to do with what he shares. He truly <i>DOES</i> leave people alone to take responsibility for themselves and not be followers. He will not pander to anyone who tries to be lesser either, as it is not in service to humanity to do so.

Samantha Davidson

23/7/2015 03:40:40 pm

True empowerment, true inspiration "His constant invitation, if not loving exhortation, was for each of us to discern for ourselves what was true or not and not to take his word as gospel." I recall attending my first presentation with Serge Benhayon and I sat there and felt the truth, the source is within me, there is no need to search, I have a connection within that I can develop and cherish. I have learnt to discern for myself and I continue to develop this discernment, it is awesome and feels divine.

Joel Levin

23/7/2015 09:45:00 pm

Jonathan, one of the points you make that stood out for me in reading this blog is the fact that Serge never waivers from delivering his truth. Yet he does this in such a respectful way that you would have to work very hard to go into defensiveness and not at least consider what is being presented. Maybe it is because there seems to be no need within him to convince me or to be right... there is just what I know, what he knows and an opportunity to explore if those two things are different and a confirmation to be appreciated if they are the same.

jennifer McGee

24/7/2015 05:39:38 am

I too Johnathan have experienced Serge Benhayon to present with exactly the quality of unwavering truth and love from the first time I heard him over ten years ago. Because he has always presented that we are also equal in that presence my openness to let that love in and out has deepened and changed over time.

Gail Fuller

24/7/2015 05:58:04 am

The quality and equal manner in which Serge presents allows you to hear the possibility that there is more on offer than you first thought or understood. He never speaks as if he knows more or is above you as many presenters do. That's why it is always a delight to attend his courses.

Judy Young

26/7/2015 03:07:47 pm

Hi Jonathan, I remember the first workshop I attended with Universal Medicine and I observed Serge going around and setting out the chairs. This stood out for me because other workshops I had attended the presenter did not set up chairs and it seemed unusual. Ten years on and I understand that the love with which Serge had placed each person's seat on that day was deep and committed and the same love we all have access to since we all come from the same source. I have attended many presentations since that day and the only change has been a deepening of the love that Serge lives and shares with all.

Hannah Morden

27/7/2015 01:28:23 pm

Thank you Jonathan, it is so beautiful to read a man taking about another man in this way - there is such appreciation and tenderness offered where normally competition and holding back is the norm. You express so beautifully about the absolute integrity Serge Benhayon holds in his every moment, and I can only second this fact.

Joel Levin

5/8/2015 12:35:55 pm

Hi Hannah, I hadn't even clocked this but you are right, it is lovely to see/read/feel a man sharing about another man without any competition or jealousy.

Jenny McGee

18/8/2015 06:55:14 pm

It is rare indeed that another practitioner and a male at that speaks so highly of another practitioner. I too have been moved by the tenderness that Serge Benhayon demonstrates when he works with his clients.

Stephen Gammack

4/8/2015 02:11:02 pm

Jonathan, it is a great credit to you that you were open to what must have been a challenging expose of your own practices, and yet the way in which Serge Benhayon presents is so non invasive that it would never seem like an imposition. There is never an ounce of judgement in Serge and this makes him stand out as a world teacher where nothing he does is for his own personal gratification but is clearly intended to allow all to reach the same level of understanding of the world that he has so clearly mastered. He is a quite brilliant man yet so normal, humble and caring.

Shannon Everest

8/8/2015 06:37:02 pm

I have just spent the weekend with Serge Benhayon – as he was teaching a healing course I attended with about 300 other people. To be in the presence of this man, his depth of wisdom, and the absolute clarity he expressed from knowing truth inside out and not holding it back, I have yet again been graced and blessed by his presence.

Donna Harris

8/8/2015 07:14:10 pm

Absolutely Jonathan - the word that stands out is 'unwavering'. Having know Serge for the past 12 years he has always remained consistent and unwavering in his relationships with people, his teachings and especially his integrity. In my 25 years of attending many, many seminars and workshops, no presenter has even come close to his level of integrity and love of humanity.

Annie Tran

9/8/2015 05:02:33 am

Thanks Jonathan. I too have witnessed Serge Benhayon's utmost respect, integrity and attention to detail to clients when doing bodywork and teaching the healing modalities. It is unmistakable. When I first came across Universal Medicine I was studying Chinese medicine at the time and had dabbled in alternative modalities and the new age. My first-hand experience of the Universal Medicine therapies and attendance at Sacred Esoteric Healing Level 1 workshop (presented by Serge) allowed me to understand true healing in a whole new light.

Lee Poole

9/8/2015 05:04:57 am

My experience of Serge Benhayon has been similar Jonathan. "His constant invitation, if not loving exhortation, was for each of us to discern for ourselves what was true or not and not to take his word as gospel." I have never seen another presenter repeatedly ask the audience to assess for themselves the validity of what is being presented. Most presenters place themselves as the authority and the presented material as fact without question. Serge presents what he knows to be true and offers the audience to decide for themselves whether it feels true for them. A beautiful, amazing and inspiring man.

Giselle

9/8/2015 05:38:15 am

Thank you Jonathan for this exact snapshot of a day in the life of Serge Benhayon. I for one have not ever experienced anywhere else, a consistency by someone as open and loving with themselves and equally toward others, as I have also seen from the first day meeting Serge as I do today.

adam warburton

9/8/2015 06:33:36 pm

My first encounter with Serge Benhayon in person was in a session, some 12 months after I had first seen him present. The session was simple but profound. He simply put his hands on the small of my back and asked my what I felt. I shared that that one side felt hollow, and he shared in turn that this was because my kidneys - my life-force - was contracted. With that simple observation, he summed up my life. At the time I was exhausted - constantly - and with that session began a path of return to now, some 8 years later, when daily exhaustion, which for me was a life long affliction - has all but disappeared from my life, and yet I now work harder than I ever have. Thank you Serge Benhayon for what you have inspired me to re-connect to. It is the love I always knew, and yet had forgotten was possible to live.

Jonathan Stewart

4/10/2015 09:29:41 pm

"Thank you Serge Benhayon for what you have inspired me to re-connect to. It is the love I always knew, and yet had forgotten was possible to live." This is beautifully and simple expressed, Adam, yet is very profound. Thank you.

Floris van der Schot link

10/8/2015 03:58:45 am

Reading your comment I became very still Jonathan. Every word you share about Serge Benhayon I can relate to. I remember my own first personal meeting with him at a level 1 Sacred Esoteric Healing Course. At the first break I went up to him and said "I want to be on stage, just like you". Little did I consciously know about the consequences / impact that those first words had. But over the years my appreciation and found inspiration continuously has grown. Thank you for your sharing, it connected me with my own gratitude for the dedication, love and care for all. Truly remarkable.

Donna Gianniotis

12/8/2015 02:27:38 pm

Having spent the last five years listening to Serge Benhayon present I never tire of what he offers. I'm almost hanging off the edge of my seat because I am blown awya by what he shares and the depth by which he meets everyone when he presents. I was at a presentation a couple of weeks ago in Sydney where Serge presented and a lot of people who were new to Serge's presentations. What was incredible was to feel how the entire hall of over 200 people were held equally. Serge answered questions posed that some may deem as difficult to answer with no holding back. He presents with love, power and authority but never putting anyone as less. Serge Benhayon is truly an extraordinary, ordinary man.

Paul Moses

12/8/2015 04:17:21 pm

Well said Jonathon , meeting Serge Benhayon is a definite life changer , the simple truth he expresses from the love he lives is undeniable , in the 6 years I have known Serge he has never held back that love from any one including his detractors. He has a way through great clarity and love to see and expose what is not and pass on a way that is in a common sense that makes all the sense in the world.

francisco Clara link

16/8/2015 06:24:50 am

Beautifully expressed Jonathan, the attention to detail, the level of care, tenderness and love in Serge's body is so inspiring and this is exactly the same way he treats everybody else equally. I have deep respect for this man as he has shown me that I can live with a level of love that I never thought was possible.

Jenny McGee

18/8/2015 06:49:14 pm

Indeed Francisco, I too have equally been inspired by the level of integrity and consistency of love that Serge Benhayon meets all his clients and practitioners equally with.

Heather Pope

5/9/2015 01:32:56 pm

What is incredible about Serge Benhayon is not only that he walks in total knowing of who he is, but that he also knows he is equal to all, and that any of us who choose to dedicate ourselves in love and truth can be just as inspiring.

Amelia

17/8/2015 04:30:34 am

I was just reflecting on how much it was you took away from that first course with Serge Benhayon, and how much it is that I do 'take away' from each course that he delivers. It's amazing as each time I take way something profound, and yet it is not the completeness of it as I can listen to the presentation again and again and still hear 'new' things or angles I had not heard before. This really gives such appreciation for the richness Serge lives and thus is able to deliver. I am so glad he is in my life!

Cathy Hackett

18/8/2015 04:36:09 am

You've captured Serge's unique qualities to a tee, Jonathan. I agree wholeheartedly with your description of Serge's impeccable standards of respect, dignity and awareness in his approach to hands-on bodywork and I too have witnessed the inspiring lack of judgement, supreme patience and constant truth he brings to everything he does.

Joseph Barker

18/8/2015 06:32:55 am

The way you describe Serge Benhayon's qualities Jonathan reminds me of a feeling I have had when watching him: that even if you disagreed or were not willing to accept what he presents simply watching the way he conducts himself is an amazing thing to do. He holds himself like an instrument of God. It's very hard not to feel the truth then - that you are one too.

Amelia Stephens

29/8/2015 07:31:20 am

I agree Joseph - observing the way Serge moves and presents, even without hearing the words he speaks is educational and inspirational. Serge is living education as every choice he makes, whether it be moving, speaking or changing his posture subtley - is for the benefit and evolution of the all. Living with this level of responsibility in every moment is an unfathomable concept for some, and one I love to continually observe and be inspired by.

Heather Pope

5/9/2015 01:30:50 pm

The lack of judgement or attachment to truth that Serge Benhayon presents is an inspiration for us all. Truth is truth, it does not need defending. It just is.

rebecca turner

30/8/2015 03:30:50 pm

It is such a testiment to the work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine that practitioners come from far and wide to add to their skills but end up completely changing their understanding of what true healing is. There is truth being delivered here that has been missed by many, and it is delivered in a way that everyone can hear it. Quite extraordinary.

Judy Young

2/9/2015 02:09:40 am

Hi Jonathan, you use the words 'with reverence' to describe how Serge Benhayon handles the body of a client during healing and from my own experience this is exactly what I have seen, and felt. It wasn't a word I had thought of but it is absolutely accurate in its description.

Rebecca Turner

4/9/2015 10:44:00 pm

Jonathan, it is inspiring that as a practitioner with a whole load of existing training and investments you were humble enough to recognize the truth in what Serge Benhayon was presenting and were willing to turn the whole of your existing practice on its head. Serge Benhayon delivers truth in a way that we can hear it, even when we are at our most resistant.

Jenny Ellis

5/9/2015 05:11:39 am

Absolutely true Gail, there is not an ounce of arrogance in this man, despite the enormity of what he brings to others on a daily basis and the degree to which he is sought after as a result. That in itself is extraordinary… and completely consistent with everything else I observe and know about him. this is such a powerful testimony, I felt very moved reading it as I have so many instances of feeling something very similar. I have been attending and observing Serge Benhayon as workshops for over 12 years and am to this day touched every time he presents - the level of warmth, equality, regard, energetic integrity and uncompromising respect for people and their bodies just continues to deepen. The inspiration this provides to be the same way in everyday life is never-ending.

Heather Pope

5/9/2015 01:28:36 pm

To know that you have a completely different understanding of a topic than most, and to unwaveringly speak about that difference, with no judgement of the other is truly inspiring and something I for one aspire to. Serge Benhayon is a true role model for the world.

Thomas Scott

7/9/2015 01:10:31 pm

I wholeheartedly agree, Serge Benhayons level of respect, integrity and respect is unwavering and consistent, thank you Jonathan for sharing your experience.
The way Serge challenges the very core of ones beliefs is non-judgemental and has not one ounce of judgement or trying to convince people. The truth of what he presents has changed my life forever, and how super grateful I am.

Jonathan I love what you have written about Serge here in terms of him always encouraging us to discern for ourselves what is true. This is my very experience of him. Even if I have asked for advice, he will not give it - always encouraging me to discern for myself what feels true for me.

Anne McRitchie

17/9/2015 11:51:58 am

Brooke, this has always been my experience of Serge Benhayon as well. From the very first time I met him, Serge Benhayon has always told his audience to discern for themselves. This is unlike any presenter I had previously encountered and from that day Serge Benhayon has never wavered from that position and has always encourage me and others to discern for myself what feels true for me.

Josephbarker

What stands on in reading your experience Jonathan is how you were 'happy' and seemingly well before meeting Serge. What Serge shows is in being happy we do have a disease because there is so much more of who we can live. How powerful Serge's living example is and how brilliant that you were open to re-considering everything you thought you knew.

Heather Pope

21/11/2015 05:38:53 am

In the eternal search for happiness, I was never able to find it. Nothing ever seemed enough. Enter Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon, and now I live a joyful and very full life. Happiness is a crumb none of us should settle for.

jeanette macdonald

Jonathan I love what you have written here about Serge, his presentations and your own reawakening. It is incredible how you were able to clearly feel the difference between the modalities you practiced and the ones delivered by Universal Medicine and make the choice to let go of what no longer felt true. That takes humbleness and courage. The beauty of the way you practice and the way you are today serves to prove it was the right choice.

Samantha Davidson

22/9/2015 10:17:06 pm

I adore this quote "His constant invitation, if not loving exhortation, was for each of us to discern for ourselves what was true or not and not to take his word as gospel." I find the way that Serge Benhayon does not argue or attempt to prove anything is absolutely inspirational. Often in life and I know for myself I have felt a push to get my point across, be heard, be understood and be right and yet time after time I have observed Serge Benhayon speak and what he expresses has never come with an ounce of this behaviour. I have felt this 'constant invitation', it is awesome to be held in such love without imposition or an agenda. It is truly my choice, my will, to discern how I live and what I choose.

Rachel Andras

25/9/2015 11:01:23 pm

Jonathan, your testimony reflects the absolute integrity and love Serge is and presents always and not only presenting, but in everything he does. I am not a practitioner of healing modalities and I did not know anything about healing when I attended my first workshop, but I was full of beliefs about how life has to be. To let go of what no longer feels true has been an amazing experience and as you share has been the best choice ever made!!

Samantha Westall

26/9/2015 01:29:46 pm

It is amazing that one encounter can offer so much. Your appreciation of Serge and the way he presents is undeniable and a powerful testament to the man he is. I have sat through many presentations where I have seen repeatedly what you have so eloquently described, and like yourself have had the blessing of observing the dedication to the participants and the level of love he holds everyone in expand and deepen. He is a truly incredible man who cannot but inspire all he meets.

Ariana Ray

27/9/2015 09:51:59 pm

To stand and be ourselves no matter what the other is doing or saying, that requires an absolute steadiness and a connection to who we really are, with out this we would spin off into reaction, as most of us do, and speak from reaction instead of that place of deep wisdom we have when we do connect to who we are. To be able to be unaltered by external forces of attack is a testament to that connection and solid foundation Serge Benhayon has within.

Jonathan Stewart

21/10/2015 10:22:46 pm

What is so powerful and embracing with the 'connection and solid foundation Serge Benhayon has within' that he demonstrates with such humbleness and love, is that he shows to us all that he is not special but that it is something we all have the potential to be. The difference with him is that he has manifested it.

Carmel Reid link

28/9/2015 12:46:32 am

There are so many things we can learn from the way Serge Benhayon presents and one of these is how to be with people who disagree with something we have said - to accept where they are at, the choices they have made and what they choose to believe at that time; to listen with understanding and absolutely no judgement, and not to press our own views or try to argue, but simply let it be and stay steady within ourselves and what we know to be true.

Ariana Ray

4/10/2015 11:23:26 pm

'Since that first encounter with Serge Benhayon this impression and appreciation for Serge has not dimmed but instead has grown and deepened.' And I can understand why, his integrity and living truth has grown even stronger. Serge Benhayon has become stronger and wiser and more loving because of his commitment to living that love with everyone.

Rachel Mascord

9/10/2015 10:17:37 am

There is a comment you made Jonathan that warrants further exploration. "He handled bodies with a tenderness, respect and reverence that I had not experienced before in all the years of my training and practice."
This is absolutely true. I have seen and received treatment from practitioners who are very lovely people and quite respectful, but the moment they start work the person who is the recipient of their treatment becomes an object. There is an off-handed brusqueness that enters their manner. As a recipient, you can feel the change, even when it is subtle.
Reverence it must be added is not niceness. It is not a trick that can be copied, nor is it a cloying, pandering quality. To be treated with reverence is experience the deepest and most sacred aspect of respect. it is to treated as God's son, and equal in all respects to the practitioner.
Now that is enormous.
It is the key to one of Serge Benhayon's greatest strengths and that is his capacity to hold us all as his equals, without any shadow of doubt. It is palpable in his sessions and in his courses, and it is the quality of reverence lived and breathed. So few practitioners are free of some element of pride and condescension. In Serge it does not exist. That is rare and precious indeed.

Jonathan Stewart

21/10/2015 12:50:21 pm

Thank you Rachel for expanding so eloquently on my use of the word 'reverence'. You have expanded so beautifully upon what is encapsulated within the word.

Suzanne Cox

17/10/2015 11:33:08 am

It is really quite poinant Jonathan to come back to the first time you met and were met by Serge Benhayon. There is something unwavering in his presence and that is as you say "reverence". What a beautiful deeply touching word used to describe what I have always felt held in when with Serge.

Lee Green

18/10/2015 10:58:55 am

I recall the first time I did a workshop with Serge Benhayon - it was very confronting for me personally - yet I was completely held. What holds you? The complete and utter Love and Integrity of Serge Benhayon. He treats everyone equally and with respect and listens and allows all to express as they need to - whether it be truth or not - recognising and understanding that is where a person is at. My life changed after that Esoteric Healing Level 1 workshop and knowing Serge Benhayon over the years he has gone on to support me more and more.

Carmel Reid link

23/10/2015 10:37:03 pm

When Serge Benhayon speaks, it is always with absolute authority - the authority of his lived experience. His way of presenting is both powerful and empowering and he offers a superb role model for how we can all be, presenting the authority of our own lived experience wherever we are in the world.

Jonathan Stewart

25/10/2015 12:12:07 am

This is a great point you make Carmel that Serge speaks with "the authority of his lived experience". This is such a powerful role model for us all to emulate as then there is nothing but truth and love.

Joseph Barker

25/10/2015 09:34:07 am

You sum up the qualities of Serge Benhayon's presentations beautifully Jonathan. The 'constant invitation' to go deeper and question life's foundations, the playful openness and evenness without being soft at all, these are all qualities I felt on my first meeting with him too. Ultimately it becomes clear that these qualities flow because Serge lives and works understanding they are not his presentations, but offerings for us all.

Vicky Cooke

25/10/2015 10:40:57 pm

What I really felt reading through your testimony was an equalness. How Serge Benhayon holds this unwavering equalness with all. That is one thing in my life that has always been really important to me how all people are treated equally, there are no 'favourites' with anyone (particularly in work places' and no one is held lesser or greater than another and it is really beautifull to see and feel how Serge Benhayon lives this.

Ariana Ray

26/10/2015 10:13:13 pm

Integrity is an inspiring quality to behold in another, it allows us to see clearly where we have been less than truth and more of believable and acceptable lies. I find myself inspired by the life of Serge Benhayon everyday, knowing how he lives allows me to feel that this is possible for me too.

Heather Pope

21/11/2015 05:37:11 am

Isn't integrity something we look for in everyone we are in contact with? Our Doctor, our boss, our family, our partner ... the list goes on and on. What a blessing it is to know Serge Benhayon, and inspiring example of lived integrity.

Ariana Ray

27/10/2015 09:52:19 pm

Serge Benhayon presents another way of living. A way that is not affected by personal gain or what the world demands. His life is lived for all, not for himself and his wife and family. He is the Universal Man, the man who lives his life for all and not for self.
For those of us who live for self, that can be challenging, but the inspiration of such a life lived is very powerful and no matter how challenging it is for the self part of who I am, I know truth when it looks me in the face and I will not let it go for anything the world has to offer.

Jonathan Stewart

29/10/2015 10:18:51 pm

As you say Ariana, Serge Benhayon is the Universal Man and a glorious reflection that he gives us to aspire to not as a dream but that is the reality of what is our true way of being and which all us will eventually achieve.

Heather Pope

21/11/2015 05:35:26 am

The inspiration of Serge Benhayon as a Universal Man is that we can all live with immense purpose, knowing there is much more that what meets the eye going on in this world.

Melinda Knights

29/10/2015 02:01:46 pm

Thankyou Jonathan, I have also consistently noticed this same respect, equality, love and patience with Serge presenting to and responding to an audience, and he also invites challenges, not to be combatant but to offer and insure a truly open discussion. He always welcomes any question. It's the way he consistently handles everyone that really stands out for me, the love, respect and dignity all are afforded is super inspiring. He is never invested in an answer or his own position, but presents truth that belongs to all of us.

Jonathan Stewart

16/11/2015 11:13:21 am

As you say, Melinda, Serge "invites challenges, not to be combatant but to offer and insure a truly open discussion". This is such a true observation of his presentations, which enables people to feel safe and secure to ask any question. Often I have experienced people ask questions which they have said feels a silly question but no question is judged silly. Rather all are treated with the same respect. Thus "a truly open discussion" is achieved.

Lee Green

31/10/2015 11:51:18 am

The first workshop with Serge Benhayon I attended I had never had the experience of 'working with others ' in this way and was guided by a man I had only just met. Steadfast, true, and so very caring each moment whilst a challenge on some levels was also amazing to feel the love and tenderness of a man - plain and simple showing us the way back.

Heather Pope

21/11/2015 05:34:15 am

I remember doing a very simple exercise at my first Universal Medicine workshop with a complete stranger that required me to gently breathe, as they did. What seemed like a miracle was the ease and complete harmony between us.This showed me that the walls I have always felt with people were of my own making, and were able to be dissolved from that day forth.

Helen Simkins

3/11/2015 11:30:58 pm

The tenderness and reverence that you write of is very evident to me in Serge also. When a man treats the body with this level of care it is a truly beautiful thing to behold and to experience. It is through this that I have truly come to understand that we are indeed the sum of all our actions, thoughts and intentions no matter how much we profess to care,

Jonathan Stewart

10/11/2015 12:00:59 pm

This is beautifully expressed Helen. The tenderness with which Serge expresses is in everything he does. On first meeting him I did not appreciate this, and not for some time after, as I did not equate tenderness as a 'manly' quality. As I re-connect to my essence so I have discovered it is the foundation of true manliness.

Lorraine Harris

24/11/2015 11:47:33 am

Manly tenderness - a true foundation for all men everywhere and everyone will benefit from this quality as men rediscover it in themselves. Keep discovering and sharing Jonathan!

Heather Pope

21/11/2015 05:31:28 am

As much as we might not like to admit it, we are completely the sum of our actions. Each moment filled with responsibility, not just for ourselves, but also for those around us.

Jonathan Stewart

27/11/2015 12:44:37 am

When we acknowledge and accept this one's whole approach to life changes. Observing the beauty of Serge demonstrating this in everything he does is true inspiration.

Carmel Reid link

5/11/2015 09:42:55 pm

Thank you Jonathan, it is great to have a testimonial from an experienced practitioner like yourself, and like you, what he presents challenged my own beliefs about healing whilst at the same time making absolute sense. I stopped counselling when I realised how much I was imposing on my clients, and am working on taking a more gentle approach to everything.

Shami

10/11/2015 09:25:30 pm

This is an incredible fact, that by not holding back Jonathan was able to hear what Serge was saying. If Serge had been playing the crowd, trying to be safe and gain their acceptance, then no one would have had the benefit of such an experience. And it makes me wonder: When do we ever not hold back? When do we give everything for everyone?

Jonathan Stewart

30/11/2015 10:10:19 am

So absolutely true, Shami. By Serge not holding back it gave me the freedom to also not hold back from asking questions however awkward or challenging I might have felt them to be. This built the foundation, which has never faltered that I know that Serge will always speak the truth however difficult it may be to hear. Thereby I have unalterable trust in him.

Jonathan Stewart

15/11/2015 10:05:51 pm

It is a truly wondrous thing to witness and what a significant realisation Helen.

Ariana Ray

16/11/2015 08:54:03 pm

Being inspired to be more than who we are is a great feeling, especially when the inspiration is given by a man of integrity, who follows through by supporting with tools we can take home and live in our own life. This happens when someone looks at us and see's who were REALLY are, not the half shadow we seem to be living these days. There is far more to live than we are seeing - I am inspired by Serge Benhayon to look at the me that he see's when he meets me.

Jonathan Stewart

27/11/2015 12:35:13 am

"I am inspired by Serge Benhayon to look at the me that he see's when he meets me." This expresses so well how Serge sees first, and responds from, the true beauty and magnificence we are and not the protective behaviours we have learnt in order to protect our hurts. By doing so he does inspire us to heal the hurts, however painful, so that we can restore ourselves to that magnificence that we have forgotten.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

6/1/2016 07:54:14 am

"Serge sees first, and responds from, the true beauty and magnificence we are and not the protective behaviours we have learnt in order to protect our hurts." As well as this being the most profoundly healing and empowering gift to receive, witnessing it has been a real learning about how to truly love people.

Simon Voysey

18/11/2015 04:59:31 pm

It is so important to clarify as you have Jonathan, that Serge Benhayon presents - he does not teach, preach, urge or coerce - yet he does not hold back the truth of what he obviously lives and knows to be true. This makes all the difference as to how receivable the information is and like you, has caused me to rethink everything that I used as a foundation of health care and fitness that was providing me with a successful career, but not a deeply nourishing and loving one.

Joseph Barker

23/11/2015 11:53:48 am

Thank you for sharing your experience with Serge Benhayon Jonathan. I grew up knowing there was a great difference in the way we say or do something. Seeing Serge as for you, just confirmed for me this difference was huge and helped me understand the true power of embracing Love as our way with everything.

jeanette macdonald

26/11/2015 08:54:10 am

Like you Jonathan, I have also found his patience marvellous.
He is a beautiful man.

Vicky Cooke

5/12/2015 06:43:09 pm

'he (Serge Benhayon) did not hold back from expressing his truth. It was the way that he did this that enabled me to hear what he presented instead of reacting.' It takes courage to stand out from the crowd and call out what is going on in the word, that how we are currently living is NOT it. With Serge Benhayon it isn't about courage it is about love for others and standing in and with Truth which he knows deeply within every cell of his body, we all do. It is just that Serge is prepared to live this every step of the way, in every moment. What Serge Benhayon teaches and presents is incredible, inspiring and without a shadow of a doubt lighting the way for humanity to truly evolve.

Kristy Wood

23/12/2015 10:54:58 am

The way your life has changed Jonathan is testament of the work of Serge Benhayon. You said you had done years of different modalities yet your health was not in great shape yet through Serge's presentations you have been able to really change your life.
This speaks volumes of the truth of these presentations.

Shami

28/12/2015 09:43:48 pm

When I first saw Serge Benhayon presenting, like Jonathan I immediately knew that something far greater than anything I had experienced before was taking place. And, in a way I found this actually quite painful and sad, because I had invested so much time, energy, and money in to things that never really made any sense, but I continued to invest in them all the same because I could not see another option. However, with Serge presenting in front of me, I could see how the best option was always with me, I just hadn't looked there.

Leigh Matson

15/1/2016 09:25:59 pm

That unending patience and respect he has for all others is like nothing I have ever seen in another person. Regardless of the persons choices he holds them in a space of being fully capable of expressing the love he does in every aspect of life. He doesn't hold anyone as the bad choices nor judges them for having made so many unloving choices that now they may not see or live in the loveliness of themselves, he simply loves and that is remarkable and yet so natural.

Carmel Reid link

17/1/2016 08:47:40 pm

What Serge Benhayon presents can be very challenging to people, because it shows up how we are living, our choices and our responsibilities, and takes away any sense of being a victim of life. At the same time, we can feel the truth of his words, because deep down it is what we have known all along. No matter how much we react, deny, delay, he remains steady, patient, deeply caring and true to all that he is.

Shami

16/2/2016 08:27:29 pm

For so many years I listened to what Serge Benhayon said, but was not really able to comprehend it because of what I had been carrying around with me in my conscious mind, so everything that he presented was taken in and distorted to suit the ways of thinking that I had become used to. Slowly though, as I have allowed myself to make changes to how I live, move and care for my body, the things that Serge presents reveal themselves as actually being very common sensical and my mind is more clear of those thoughts that do not support. Serge may shine a light on the way forward, but it is only though our bodies that we actually find it.

Samantha Davidson

27/2/2016 10:13:47 pm

Agreed I also had a big wake up call when I first attended a presentation by Serge Benhayon..."By the end of the morning break I was having to question everything that I held to be true about healing." I had not worked in complimentary health but has always had an interest in developing more awareness about myself and the world around me, and I was interested in healing what was necessary to heal to live life fully, and when I sat back and became aware it all can start from within and how we live impacts on everything and walking what we talk is so essential to work and life, I said YES, although challenged, and also felt deeply empowered by the fact I had a choice in this life.

Emma Danchin

14/3/2016 11:32:57 am

For those of us in developed spiritual pursuits, like being a full time practitioner of a natural healing modality, it is not so easy to be presented with the truth as lived by Serge Benhayon! Because it overturns absolutely everything, including our livelihood, to be utterly transformed. This transformation can appear like the wreckage of a train smash for a while…! But I can testify to consistently taking the steps towards truth and in time, watching the new flower buds begin to bloom.

I was a full time shiatsu practitioner as well as a dedicated yoga practitioner and many other energetic healing techniques I had learned along my way and I was running a ‘wellbeing clinic’ with practitioners equally offering various energetic modalities. It took me some time to accept what I needed to do but gradually I let it all go so that I could see the truth of what I had built; that I had built it all on false foundations. 5 years on and through all of that letting go, I have been consistently held in the solidness of love offered by all of the Benhayons and Universal Medicine practitioners. And now my life has too completely turned around and the sparkle returned to my eyes, that has not been there since I was little 3 year old girl.

Ingrid Ward

1/4/2016 06:53:03 pm

Even though it was 11 years ago that I first attended a workshop with Serge Benhayon I can still remember it as if it was yesterday, no doubt because it was the day I began the journey back home to me. And like you Jonathon, although Serge presented much that challenged so much in my life, it was the humble and assured way that he did that allowed me to stay open and receptive to hear all that he was sharing instead of "reacting and rejecting what he had to say”; and every day I celebrate the fact, that not only did I follow the impulse to attend that workshop, but also that I was willing, and ready – oh so ready - to listen.

Danielle Pirera

3/5/2016 09:43:02 am

This takes great commitment to loving people "Even though he was consistently challenged by myself and others at no time did he argue or attempt to persuade." I've seen this same way of being in Serge, he is so deeply understanding and never ever does he impose on anyone how they should be.

Julie Chung

3/5/2016 12:27:18 pm

The first time I heard about Serge 8 years ago, it was like my whole body was immediately aligned and I was straight on the website to read all about him. Then I immediately enquired about doing the first retreat and was told there was a place for me so I booked myself in and I have never looked back. My choice to say yes and commit to all of the workshops and sessions I have attended and had over these years is by far the best choice I have ever made. Serge has helped me turn my life around from one of feeling lost and unsure, to knowing who I am and taking responsibility for that great love that I am through my own living way. An amazing man that is absolute love, truth and integrity to the core.

Jade Jamieson

6/5/2016 01:41:20 am

Jonathan this is such a beautiful testimonial of a man who has never wavered in bringing loving truth to all he meets. As you share Serge Benhayon has such integrity, treats all with respect, care and as an equal and he is a man who has inspired so many to reconnect to the love they have within. I am so glad to be able to walk this life with him.

Deborah McKay

6/5/2016 02:12:42 am

I enjoyed reading your testimonial Jonathan and feeling the quality that Serge Benhayon held you all in because of his knowing that you/we are all from the same divine spark and all equal sons of God and also because true love is a beholding without conditions.

Danna Elmalah

6/5/2016 09:16:14 am

Thank you Jonathan, it is a privillege to read your words and the absolute amazing change that has occured in your life- by the support of Serge Benhayon

Sally Cranwell-Child

7/5/2016 01:26:08 am

I remember my first encounter with Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, his presentation left me questioning everything I had been brought up to believe, and how every word he spoke I knew deeply to be true.

Aimee Edmonds

7/5/2016 08:01:40 am

This is such a great point Jonathan, "He was also consistently explicit in ensuring that the participants’ touch was also not sexual or invasive. This sensitivity and level of personal care I found inspiring.", because this has been a stand out for myself and many others also who have dabbled in alternative modalities. From the very first hands on workshop I attended presented by Serge Benhayon I have been able to surrender as I have felt completely safe and honoured, like nothing else I have ever laid on a massage table for in the past. I remember many times wanting to jump up and run having been worked on by other modalities that do not run with the same unwavering integrity, energetic understanding and love that Universal Medicine modalities do.

Monica Gillooly

8/5/2016 12:44:15 pm

Jonathan, that has also been my experience of Serge Benhayon, I have never met anyone with such a vast well of patience who gracefully handles all challenges without demeaning those challenging or attempting to big himself up or make anyone wrong. There is as you say not one ounce of judgement and a willingness to address the questions raised with real care, detail and love. Nothing is too trivial and indeed as you note, his care as a practitioner is second to none, he ensures such a level of professional care as I have never felt anywhere before and it's all done with a real ease and naturalness, nothing is forced, it's all expressed as part of a loving natural order and I know I and many other have learned hugely from this and begun to apply the same level of care into my own life. And to top all that, he is one of the bravest men I know, willing to stand and speak truth no matter what, without compromise or wanting anyone else to get it - he presents it and you're left to decide for yourself; nothing is imposed and everything offered is given with the understanding that you are to discern it for yourself and feel the truth of what is offered.

Sandra Schneider

8/5/2016 10:31:25 pm

I can agree Jonathan, in the last 10 years I did not see Serge Benhayon drop his sensitivity or lived integrity ever - instead of this I saw it increasing. It seams like he live the opposite of what is going on in the world currently.

Fumiyo Egashira

9/5/2016 02:12:48 pm

The way Serge Benhayon responds to questions and challenges is just remarkable. He is forever understanding, never judges or puts down anyone, and knows and lets us know we are absolute equal to him by the way he meets us. He speaks from the absolute truth, and righteousness has no place in there. I find this extremely inspiring as this is something I am still finding hard to do with consistency; as well in asking him questions, there is something in me that is already making me less than what I truly am.

James Nicholson

9/5/2016 11:06:39 pm

I love what you have shared Jonathan about Serge Benhayon. Serge presents logical common sense truths which somehow counteract the very way we have been living and brought up to live. What is staggering is that often they are glaringly obvious yet we have not seen them or asked the question. It goes to show quite how much we have allowed ourselves to be controlled by external forces rather than listening to our bodies and what we all deeply know inside. Serge is a game changer, a life changer and I am deeply blessed, as we all are to have him with us.

Lucy Duffy

10/5/2016 12:22:59 am

A wholly true testimonial of Serge Benhayon. I come from a different )but similar) background to Jonathan, and like him, when I first heard and felt Serge present, his words and the quality with which he holds himself resonated so deeply they woke me from my eons-long slumber as i felt the call to come back to me, to love, to where we are all truly from. This quality has since only deepened in Serge - his grace, sensitivity, power and of course his unwavering love are a torch that lights the way for us all to walk the path of return back to ourselves and to brotherhood.

Simon Voysey

16/5/2016 03:27:36 pm

The thing about the way Serge Benhayon presents, as Jonathan states, in no way holding back what he knows to be true is that it is the plain and simple truth and you cannot deny the feeling of it in your body. As with many, I was sceptical at first, but I had to keep coming back to the basic fact that I was letting my mind override what I felt to be true and deal with the hurt that I had not honoured that knowing in my life up until then. It has been quite amazing to meet, embrace and often be challenged by the truth that is universal from then on.

Jeanette Macdonald

18/5/2016 12:33:20 am

Serge presents common sense and love and brings both to everything. These are qualities the world need so much more of than it is currently willing to accept.

Heather Pope

27/8/2017 12:30:52 pm

The common sense of Serge Benhayon is the wisdom of the ages, presented here in 2017 for all to access and live by.

Susan Green

18/5/2016 12:56:42 pm

Jonathan, I agree completely with how you have described Serge. On first meeting I was blown away by the level of care and quality of his presentations and workshops and continued to be inspired ever since. I have never met a practitioner with such incredibly high standards and integrity.

Danna Elmalah

Amazing Jonathan, I agree with you in full. Any course I went to , and followed the training, I was blown away by the dedication, precision, purpose of healing he was offering. With that came and comes an enormous amount of integrity - that was second to none, something I had never seen before - in no health care instance, or practice or school. Brilliant. This is why I love following these courses, this is what has opened my eyes to see again what true healing is, whilst before I would dismiss it any second I could. That is true testimony of the truth that is being delivered by Serge Benhayon in all the healing courses he brings/offers..

Thank you for a very powerful testimonial and your willingness to look deeper and with more awareness than the superficial and very limiting beliefs and principles that had dominated you when you met Serge Benhayon.

How Serge Benhayon holds everyone with a loving understanding and complete respect allows you to feel all your 'stuff', as just that, stuff - and realise that the stuff is not you, is an incredible gift to humanity. I've been able to see how I've created every issue I've had and that the buck solely stops with me and I can't blame anyone for how I live my life.... this is true freedom moving forward.

Lucy Duffy

Serge's way of presenting is masterfull. He does not try to 'persuade' but invites us to consider and ponder on what is being presented. Not with our heads intellectualising it, but through our bodies - how we are feeling. I have come to know that my body knows the truth. Every cell nods deeply when a truth is heard with the body. It's a feeling I no longer override and ignore with my rationalising mind (well not as much anyway - I'm a work in progress), and this is entirely thanks to Serge. The first time I went to a Universal Medicine presentation, my body knew the truth of what was presented. I had come home - not to a place, person, organisation - but to myself. Awake at last!

Naren Duffy

Thank you Jonathan. Coming from training in massage, I was really amazed at the level of care that Serge Benhayon presents in handling clients when treating them. The respect, integrity and honouring that he brings to the healing table is without peer and has inspired a whole wave of practitioners who are out there now treating others with the same levels of care. That is amazing and so very needed.

Helen Giles

Beautiful Jonathan! One of the things I have found with Serge Benhayon is that even when others are struggling to understand and/or challenge what he is saying, he can always answer these questions without hesitation and with a consistency that is second to none. Over the years I have heard Serge patiently say the same things in various ways until we can all come to a point of understanding with what he is presenting. This is remarkable and something I have never experienced before. He is truly a man of great integrity who holds enormous love and respect for all, regardless of background.

Shami

4/6/2016 01:26:58 pm

Serge Benhayon has taught me to never give up on myself, or on anyone else for that matter, and this is what I get from Jonathan's testimonial - to never give up.

Kathryn Fortuna

7/6/2016 10:57:35 am

My experience of Serge has been very similar and 'Throughout the years since that first encounter with Serge Benhayon this impression and appreciation for Serge has not dimmed but instead has grown and deepened.' This consistency is deeply inspiring and builds a trust that you could never waver.

Kathryn Fortuna

7/6/2016 11:05:06 am

The moment I met Serge Benhayon my whole body expanded and I felt so full and connected. I will never forget it. From there onwards I knew that what Serge delivered was the truth and the wisdom that I felt dormant in my body but could not express started to unfold. SB is the real deal. 🔥

The way Serge presents has no equivalent in this world as he stand in truth but holding every other equal and honouring what they present. I have not once in the past 9 years seen him put himself above anyone, nor has himself made less. There is no persuading, no convincing and no investment for any one to accept what he presents. He always invites his audience to challenge him, not to show himself off but to support people in getting clarity. The absolute love and respect that Serge holds for every human being he encounters is deeply inspiring.

Felix Kremer link

13/6/2016 02:40:09 am

Connected to truth and to God as Serge Benhayon lives he presents with ease. I never experience nervous tension in his body nor does he ever wrinkles his forehead. He talks from his heart and his head and eyes stay clear whenever I observe him.

Hannah Morden

13/6/2016 10:12:04 pm

Jonathan - you share here how over the first weekend of meeting Serge you questioned everything you knew about being a practitioner - and that the reason you were able to do this and not react or reject was simply in the way Serge presented. I agree that the truth he presents with is absolute. He presents in a way that makes sense to my body and does not hold back. It is very inspiring to see that we already have all the tools needed to bring truth into our lives and it is just a matter of choosing this.

Sylvia

22/6/2016 09:41:02 pm

Quick after my first contact with Serge during his presentations my life got exposed. My proffesion was a massage therapist who worked also as a 'healer'. I always knew something was not correct in how I worked with people but didn't find a different way. I became very much aware that there was no truth in the healing modailities I learned during the years, the came from a falsh light which looked good but brought no true healing. I always knew I was not rslly loving myself but sitting there with Serge in the room and all the Angles Wisdom shared made me wake up that Inhad to start from the beginning again but this time from building true love in my body and from there to serve humanity.

mary sanford

23/6/2016 12:00:42 pm

This is what I so admire in Serge Benhayon
"His constant invitation, if not loving exhortation, was for each of us to discern for ourselves what was true or not and not to take his word as gospel."
Always Serge Benhayon asks everyone not to take his word for things but to actually feel into what he is saying, I have never heard him tell anyone what to do at the courses, he presents the subject and sometime what he says can be very challenging. I always know when it's challenging me because I want to switch off and go to sleep. Then I have to look at why I want to fall asleep so that I don't get to an understanding in my body. Being in a sales oriented industry I have heard many, many people present most presenters what you to either get something they are saying so what they say comes with a force behind it or they want to impress you with their knowledge. Serge Benhayon does none of those things, he is just himself take or leave it.

mary sanford

30/6/2016 08:38:36 am

I was a client of yours Jonathan and remember when you told me about meeting Serge Benhayon and how life changing it was for you as it was for me too, because you recommended that I should see him. I have never looked back since the first day I met Serge, at first I was extremely angry and arrogant but I could not in any way deny what he shared with me in a conversation we had. His understanding of people and what is going on in the body energy wise is phenomenal. There is no one else that can read energy in the way that Serge Benhayon can and he constantly shares that we can all read energy we have just forgotten how to do it. And he is correct I'm learning how to read the energy behind the movement and it is so freeing because nothing then can surprise you because you can read everything that's going on if you choose to or you can dull down the senses and not read. Again it's always a choice.

Danna Elmalah

11/7/2016 05:34:50 am

Having been a client of Serge Benhayon and having had sessions with him. I am amazed by the ongoing support I feel every session, but not only every session, every talk, email, presentation, workshop or text. To me I have never met a man who is actually doing so much to truly support the world (people) to become more real, loving and truthful. By virtue of him living the love and joy he is. He has an integrity that I have not seen being lived before on earth at this time. And when you meet him it is impossible to not feel this - even though it might moves mountains for you. His loving support is unwavering and One love that belongs to All. So everything that is being supported with is not from pondering, judgement or belief or disbelief, but simply the expression of our Soul who expresses through people, showing the love we are.

Caroline Francis

14/7/2016 09:43:22 pm

Serge Benhayon does not hold back from expressing truth and boy do I find it inspiring to say the least. He does not pander to anyone's needs but simply knows what to say and how to express it in order to go deeper. It can be uncomfortable at times but I know it is said with the utmost of love to help us heal.

Simon Voysey

13/8/2016 01:39:15 am

It is a delectable combination that Serge Benhayon brings to his presentations of speaking so frankly and without any judgment, It is disarming and so it allows one to feel the truth and yet to sit without reaction in it, which I have experienced as a deeply profound and beautiful awakening to what we can bring to life rather than what we can get out of it.

Lucy Dahill

2/9/2016 12:51:42 pm

I too met Serge at a workshop where he challenged so many of my long held beliefs as a practitioner and agree, the way he presented there was an openness to either consider what he shared as truth or not. There was no pressure to accept it or judgement. I was a little stunned initially as what I felt was true to that point had left me exhausted and disillusioned by life therefore resentful of offering myself in service for others. What I have learnt since has meant I am more engaged than ever before, more vital and with an understanding of energetic integrity that has changed the way I do everything. All down to one little workshop and one inspiring philosopher. Pretty cool.

Danna Elmalah

6/9/2016 03:15:18 pm

True Jonathan , I was 100% sure of how this modality (healing courses) were presented and teached : without an ounce of sexual intention and how we never ever touch genitals. This shows very clearly the integrity and absolute respect of people. This is were Serge Benhayon and his teachings stand for.

Sylvia

14/9/2016 01:11:41 pm

The integrity in the modalities Serge Benhayon brings to us is the highest quality I ever experienced in my many trainings. I had my practice as a holistic massage therapist and I learned many massage techniques and many parts of the body to massage. I never was truly honoring my own feelings by excepting the way i learned as being normal because all did. It was deeply healing when I started to see what true healing means when I started to study with Universal Medicine. The movements are so simple and so profound at the same time and coming which such a true loving energy. It is such a beautiful way of offering true healing. and this comes with such a high level of intergrity that I was amazed to see how the practitioners showed to never touch certain parts of the body. Serge shared about that with such a deep respect to every person. I never met a man like this. it was so logical to me in my feeling all what was shared. For example you never ever touch the breast or any part of it, you never ever touch the bumb? buttocks. Y This is what I was not used to get taught and it gave me deep trust in what I felt already what this work brings to us as true healing. Later one I got to know the Esoteric Breast Massage which is taught by women to women which caries an enormous deep level of care and love in each treatment it self. Which makes this modality a very powerful one.

The integrity of this incredible man I have felt with every course I have attended, so much so for me, that he leaves no room for doubt of what he presented.

Serge Benhayon's presentations are always an invitation to explore the truth of long held ideals and beliefs and the affect they have on our body.

Danna

26/11/2016 04:20:24 pm

Thank you for sharing this.. Equally in my life the first meeting with Serge Benhayon brought a whole new view on life. How I was used to life now seemed more clear and that I was not all that I had chosen.. And so that I had become all sorts of things from around me ( and started to fall for the believe what the world want me to be).. There the trap started to leave myself behind.. And this I can see in the world and so all around me. So I can say that by meeting Serge I was shown this clear view of what was true and untrue and I was able to observe more myself without being obsorbed in all this stuff. It was like what I was being presented with ; tools, presentation and healing sessions - brought me back to life and so my presence was more there to understand and feel what I had been choosing. Very very beautiful indeed. So there is a lot more to tell, but Serge Benhayon is a game changer, because he absolutely supports clarity in mind by living from your Soul, and teaches how to live from it.

Henrietta Chang

28/11/2016 10:47:50 am

Jonathan, this is a true testament indeed: "Throughout the years since that first encounter with Serge Benhayon this impression and appreciation for Serge has not dimmed but instead has grown and deepened. In all that time I have not experienced him less than on that first weekend but only more gracious and loving than I could have ever imagined. I now know from over the passage of time that what I felt on those first few days was true and why it has been life-changing for me." I love how we can allow our lives to become richer and richer ad infinitum with the quality of relationships that we allow ourselves to embrace, such as the one you talk of here - a relationship with Serge Benhayon.

Ariana Ray

11/12/2016 08:36:05 pm

I can relate to your description of the first workshop you attended - 'The concepts that Serge presented challenged the very foundations upon which I based my understanding and approach to health.' I had spent most of my life chasing answers and falling for great words that had no livingness to back them up. When I met Serge Benhayon I could feel that here was a man who talked what he lived and my observations of him since this time have substantiated my first view. Ans yes it challenged everything I thought I knew, but the challenge was well overdue for me, truth was needed in my life in a big way and that is what he delivered. Thank God for Serge Benhayon!

Ariana Ray

15/12/2016 09:49:19 pm

You write of Serge Benhayon how 'He constantly showed respect to everyone equally' and yes I can confirm that, and add that he always has unwaveringly. There is nothing about his support that leaves another behind, the invitation is in equalness and the deepest respect,without parallel.

Stephanie Stevenson

27/1/2017 05:48:10 am

Jonathan - this blog is a truly powerful living testimony to the truth of Serge Benhayon and the quality he consistently offers in presentations, training courses, sessions and in his daily living way of being.
I agree with every word you have written here - Respect, patience, quality, tenderness, reverence of the body, sensitivity, attention to detail and complete lack of any sexual innuendo and so much more.
"His constant invitation, if not loving exhortation, was for each of us to discern for ourselves what was true or not and not to take his word as gospel".

Fiona Pierce

"His constant invitation, if not loving exhortation, was for each of us to discern for ourselves what was true or not and not to take his word as gospel." I've seen Serge Benhayon be very consistent with this also since the first time I met him - never pushing what he is saying onto anyone and not holding back either but presenting with unconditional love and openness. Never does he judge if someone challenges him and he even encourages questions and always answers with the utmost respect and clarity. His respect for everyone equally, regardless of whether they agree with what he presents or not, is unwavering.

Joseph Barker

6/3/2017 04:36:59 pm

Absolutely Jonathan, your account beautifully shows that it's not the course or event that is such a big deal, but the quality that each of us live and present. For when we choose Love, it communicates and says so much through our movements, tones and gestures. Serge Benhayon is a shining example of this, and is constantly reminding me that this is also happening with us, everyday - it's just a matter of which energy we are broadcasting.

Christine Hoagn link

26/4/2017 01:44:39 pm

Your sharing Jonathan has invited me to re-visit the many presentations I have attended by Serge Benhayon and can support everything you have shared. There was a consistent, unwavering, loving and so patient delivery from Serge, never did I feel imposed upon or dictated to but always the invitation to feel what was true for me, to live what was being presented and then choose if what was shared was true. Just by being in the presence of Serge Benhayon without any words or presentation, changes everything about what you know to be true in life and within ourselves.

Danna Elmalah

6/5/2017 12:15:06 pm

Its so beautiful to read all the different experiences and expressions of people that have met Serge Benhayon.. To feel the love , that is endless, being expressed about him. The inspirations he had brought to peoples lives and the richness of teaching he brought to life - where people now can support themselves from.. AN incredible output and development of lived ways from living truth and love - that makes that possible to bring to life (so solid so). And I equally thank from my angle of view, and I can not stop thanking, this man for all he has brought to my awareness and my life - as the love is so continuously inspiring that I now no longer accept to live without.

Joseph Barker

25/5/2017 02:55:06 pm

If you can close your eyes and just listen to Serge Benhayon speak, you can feel that it isn't so crucial what he says but it is the energy he presents in that is sublime and so refined. Just hearing this vibration is a healing - if I let myself surrender it's like receiving a loving bath!! I never thought I'd be saying this when I first heard him soeak - I focused on critiquing the jokes he made and comments that irritated me. But yet I knew underneath that what he had to say was somehow good for me. Fascinating isn't it - that we all know actually the vibration of what is and isn't Love. Why don't we as Serge shows just live this vibration ourselves? Thank you Jonathan for sharing this.

Jonathan Stewart

3/6/2017 10:13:16 pm

So true, Joseph. The same things that Serge Benhayon said on that first meeting said by anyone else without that vibration of love I would have reacted, instead of responding, and walked away from what he presented. What a sublime blessing it is to be 'bathed' in that vibration.

Lieke Campbell

24/6/2017 10:18:11 pm

It is indeed not much heard of that people hold their level of integrity and care as from day one and it is even more unheard of that someone deepens and steps up this level of integrity over time. Serge Benhayon has definitely done this and this is how he always keeps being inspiring and true because truth is forever deepening not a stagnant thing.

David

25/6/2017 10:10:50 pm

There are few people in my life that have had such a great impact as Serge Benhayon, and even fewer people that have provided a level of consistency in how they life that inspire me to deal with all the protection I carried and embrace the truth in ever deepening ways each day. As your first encounter with Serge changed your life so too did mine and whilst I resisted along the way, the inevitable occurred - I started to deeply love myself.

Heather Pope

28/6/2017 01:23:48 pm

To meet a presenter who has no judgement is seemingly impossible, but that is what we have in Serge Benhayon. You can challenge him on his thoughts, or disagree with what he presents and he will without exception listen, and respond. Never does he diminish anyone, or try to make them see his way of thinking. You are allowed to 100% be you, and choose your own way.

Samantha

30/6/2017 12:59:42 pm

Every time I see Serge Benhayon I feel he has expanded more, and in that I mean I can feel the universe more and the energy he representing. This energy is of course pure love, and anyone who spends time in this presence benefits. Just like you Jonathan who I see grow more and more into the beautiful, loving, wise universal man you are.

Jonathan Stewart

1/7/2017 10:47:55 pm

Thank you Samantha. I never stop feeling amazed at the changes I feel in myself and with the passing of the years to see and feel this also in all the students is truly remarkable. This is truly wondrous to be part of.

David

13/7/2017 08:55:13 pm

What an incredible change and shift from meeting Serge, it shows that the way we live life has such power to inspire others to deepen the love they hold and live for themselves.

Monica Gillooly

17/7/2017 02:16:57 pm

I feel the deep care and absolute integrity and attention to detail you describe in Serge Jonathan and your openness to see it and feel it. And what I feel very clearly is that beholding love which allowed you to consider how you worked and how you lived and how this is there ever and always for all who meet Serge. That's the thing he is someone you can absolutely trust and knowing him means we cannot give up on ourselves or others; he shows us the love we all are, he reminds us when we've forgotten, and he holds us in that love no matter where we are at with no judgement or demand, it's truly exquisite and we can then learn to do this for ourselves and others.

Jonathan Stewart

28/8/2017 12:43:37 pm

"knowing him [Serge] means we cannot give up on ourselves or others". This is a beautiful point you make, Monica, and he is such an amazing role model showing us all how we can be amazing, too.

Joseph Barker

29/7/2017 11:31:44 am

Ah Jonathan, your sweet words remind me this morning that no matter when or where Serge Benhayon presents you never see him try to fix or solve an issue, but just openly question and explore the truth. 'Is it possible?' And 'what if?' he says and encourages us to consider it too. What that's all we ever need to do? Just live questioning and considering what we feel? This would surely be a huge step forward from continually striving to be right or pushing on mindlessly with what we've always done.

Jonathan Stewart

31/8/2017 10:27:36 pm

Wise words you offer, Joseph. Forsaking striving to be right or stubbornly persisting with an activity or belief and instead consistently questioning and discerning the truth is truly liberating and expansive.

kim weston

18/8/2017 01:09:35 pm

Serge Benhayon is like no other when it comes to expressing truth. You never feel a glimpse of reaction but instead feel space within to come to your own truth.

Anna

22/8/2018 11:50:22 am

Yes Kim, I have watched Serge for many years now and he is very inspiring the way he offers space for others to discover their own truth, he never imposes only offers us a deep reflection always.

Nikki McKee

20/8/2017 11:44:45 am

The way Serge treats people - either in discussion, in his treatment, as part of the audience or when passing you in the street is extraordinary. A very busy man who manages so many things the mind can't comprehend how it is possible, yet when you ask something, speak to him or when he is with you, he is there with you in full - loving you and seeing you for all that you are.

Shami

1/9/2017 10:56:33 am

There is a real sense here of just how steady and worldly Serge Benhayon is, and of how much he loves people.

David

4/9/2017 08:01:21 pm

Jonathan I remember meeting you shortly after your encounter with Serge as well as knowing you today, it is beautiful to see the strength in you today and the real difference in the tenderness, love and quality that you shine with.

7/9/2017 07:40:43 am

Thank you for sharing this. What stood out for me was the way in which Serge delivered the truth - and i too have experienced that what Serge presents is presented with such truth and love that I don't reject it or fight it, I am opening to listening and feeling the truth of his words in my own body.

Jonathan Stewart

8/9/2017 10:50:23 pm

Yes, it is remarkable how although one can reject the truth that Serge presents one cannot react to him. When one is open to the truth there is such expansion and he is forever offering this.

Lucy Duffy

10/9/2017 12:12:28 pm

Serge's love for humanity is so huge he will never dilute the truth to make it more palatable and less exposing. I have squirmed in my seat plenty of times but because it comes with love, respect and equality, I am free to be able to feel for myself the truth of what he shares.

Jonathan Stewart

16/9/2017 12:22:32 pm

It is this fact that Serge NEVER dilutes the truth is a foundational cornerstone as to why he is so trusted and such an inspiring true role model.

Nico van Haastrecht

30/9/2017 07:39:07 pm

So beautiful to read Jonathan, that just one presentation from Serge Benhayon can make you question the foundation upon which you had based your existence and from that moment to change your life so drastically back to where you are now. Power-full stuff... those presentations from Serge if you are open for it.

Ruth Ketnor

2/10/2017 11:10:51 pm

The integrity and love that Serge holds people in when talking with them and presenting to them never wavers, he delivers the truth always however anyone may choose to react he stays steady and loving, with not a spec of reaction himself. Deeply inspiring.

Jonathan Stewart

6/10/2017 10:06:50 pm

To observe Serge communicating with people is to be present in a master class in communication.

Ariana Ray

3/10/2017 10:29:21 pm

You write that 'The concepts that Serge presented challenged the very foundations.' This I recall also, for Serge was always offering love, joy and truth and I was living the opposite to this. Yes it challenged me to the core, but at the same time was so very familiar that I could feel in my whole body the truth of what he was presenting and also the truth of what he was living. There was no rah rah, just pure simplicity.

Jonathan Stewart

6/10/2017 10:01:23 pm

When presented with truth by Serge it was very humbling to have the illusion I lived exposed. However, the way in which he did this was so free of judgment I did not reject it and instead embraced it and unconsciously the love with which it was expressed.

Joshua Campbell

11/10/2017 08:07:45 am

For anyone to present such exposing truth without giving into the retaliation and resistance from those around is deeply inspiring not only because of the dedication exhibited but equally because how Serge approach’s it is without any reaction but full and utter love. In this he never provokes further the retaliation but actually opens the doors to healing that which is in the way.

David

14/10/2017 08:43:00 am

"He handled bodies with a tenderness, respect and reverence that I had not experienced before in all the years of my training and practice." having been very skeptical of what a 'healing workshop' was, I was instantly at ease and reassured by the quality of care, love and the absolute professionalism that was presented. In fact Serge's presentations of handling of patients was far above not only my standards but every spa I had been to in the past.

Nattalija link

24/10/2017 04:55:30 am

My introduction to Serge Benhayon was also timed with the suggestion of attending Sacared Esoteric Healing Level 1. A stickler for truth and often one that would be skeptical on any subject I was totally inspired when I felt the truth that was offered in the same quality in another. It was at that moment that I realised we all come from the same source LOVE.

Ariana Ray

17/11/2017 11:39:45 pm

'The concepts that Serge presented challenged the very foundations upon which I based my understanding' and for me these concepts challenge me daily, but I would not be without that level of honesty and truth.

Carola Woods link

21/11/2017 10:10:10 am

Jonathon, you share so beautifully just how truth when felt and known as such, has no need to be right or agreed upon, it only needs to be expressed in its absoluteness, as an offering and a reflection of who we are in essence and the truth that we are all united by. The inspiration of Serge Benhayon is that this reflection is always offered through the way he lives, presents and is with all, with the knowing that we all equally know what truth is, as it never fades away, we just have to surrendered to being guided by the truth our Soul.

Jonathan Stewart

21/11/2017 11:52:25 pm

So true, Carola, and I have found that Serge's lived example of expressing truth with absoluteness an incredibly inspiring reflection to live up to.

Nattalija link

5/12/2017 12:13:07 pm

The care, respect and tenderness that is shown from the various modalities that have been brought to us by Serge Benhayon holds each and every person with the utmost support and guidance to heal and evolve.

Ray Karam link

13/12/2017 11:34:26 am

It is rare as well for me to have someone present or speak to a group and not divide them up. From experience usually the presenter would put someone down, make a joke or dismiss part of the audience in an attempt to gain favour or to make a point. I have not experienced this either with Serge Benhayon, there is a holding or an understanding that everyone has a part or has a role in supporting the group. It's not a one sided view but an all encompassing view.

Amparo Lorente Cháfer

23/12/2017 10:01:41 pm

This is beautiful Karan, the way in which Serge always holds the audience in equalness, he himself included, taking everyone to the wisdom point we all come from.

Willem Plandsoen

Beautiful story Jonathan. Serge presents truth, I would say, after seeing , hearing and reading what he presents, as the Truth, but that is up for anybody to feel in for themselves. Serge respects were everybody is at, and does not hold back, and always says "don't take any thing I say for granted, but feel into your self if it is true for you". So that we don't give our power away.

“Throughout the years since that first encounter with Serge Benhayon this impression and appreciation for Serge has not dimmed but instead has grown and deepened. “ every part of me agrees fully with this, for me each conversion I have with Serge and at each event I feel a deeper sense of wisdom and true power that inspires me to grow, deepen the love I have for myself, my relationships and speak the truth I know.”

'This event was to change my life.' And so many people have found they too have a similar experience on meeting Serge Benhayon. The way he lives is an inspiration to so many. This man has changed the world and he tells everyone that we can do the same.

Serge Benhayon delivers that truth that offers you a moment to reflect without judgement as the delivery is all offered with an abundance of love and understanding.

Additionally to the incredible inspiration Serge Benhayon is for us all, he has never ever ever dropped in his commitment to love and truth despite the enduring and at times very challenging questions and abuse he has received over the years. This is a true testament to love if ever there was one.

'His constant invitation, if not loving exhortation, was for each of us to discern for ourselves what was true or not and not to take his word as gospel.' This is a rare quality in someone who is presenting. My experience is a usual cajoling, or a need from the presenter to bolster his or her standing and status. Serge does neither of this. He only presents his truth and allows each participant to make sense of it from where they are at.

I am often touched with Serge how listening to him, I could not understand the words, easily not get the language that is used but still know intimately that what he says and shares is true. Just listening to him speak is like admiring a natural wonder - a sunset or a beautiful sky - because quite simply it’s the energy that is tangible. This is such a great example of what he presents and an inspiration to know the quality we choose is ultimately what shines through. Thank you Jonathan for sharing your initial experience here.

So true Joseph. There was so much that Serge presented on my first meeting that I did not grasp or appreciate until much later. It was, as you say Joseph, the energy with which he presented I innately knew it was true and could be trusted, even though it seemed to threaten my whole way of living.

Ingrid Ward

15/3/2018 10:11:59 pm

I remember so many words of wisdom from my first workshop with Serge Benhayon but one gem that he shared was one that changed the way I had been blindly trusting the words of so many. And that “was for each of us to discern for ourselves what was true or not and not to take his word as gospel.” I was staggered as none of the many presenters I had ever sat in front of had ever shared anything like this. So off their pedestals came so many but never once did I feel to put Serge in their place as I began to discern and trust what I felt and then, and only then begin to live it for myself.

Jonathan Stewart

16/3/2018 10:00:26 pm

So true, Ingrid, his invitation, which is more like an exhortation, to always discern for oneself the truth and not blindly trust what he says is a ripple that releases one from the self-created shackles of blind belief in the words of others, "So off their pedestals came so many."

'I was having to question everything that I held to be true about healing.' It's interesting that what the world is so ready to tell us is based on lies. We live the lie so much we consider it's a truth. It's only when the real deal stands before us with the truth tht we can see the lies for what they are. Thank God for Serge Benhayon and the integrity and truth he lives from, he shakes down the veil of illusion between us and truth.

Jonathan Stewart

27/3/2018 02:59:48 am

Well said. Ariana, and 'he shakes down the veil of illusion' with such grace, love, patience and non-judgment that you cannot help but feel the truth whether one accepts or denies what he exposes.

Melinda Knights

Thank you Ariana and Jonathan, Serge presents the truth without any investment in an outcome, with no agenda for it to be received a certain way, and with no need imposed on the listener. This allows space for the listener to simply feel what's presented and to decide for themselves what they feel is true. It's a unique and very loving experience to listen to a presentation where not only is the truth shared, but I'm held as an equal and left to make my own choices in life. That to me is true respect.

Aimee Edmonds

5/5/2018 05:32:04 pm

I realised after meeting Serge, that my body had always shown me what was true and what was not. Other modalities I had trained in and offered to clients left my body shaking internally and in a constant state of anxiety and nervousness. The settlement in my body now is testament to Universal Medicine and connecting to myself, that allows me to know when something is true or not true.

Melinda Knights

7/4/2018 12:13:56 pm

Thank you Jonathan, reading your testimonial today and the comments reminds me of the constant love, respect and decency Serge holds everyone with equally. Whether we feel what he is sharing is the truth, or want to challenge or dispute what he presents his relationship with everyone remains the same. There are so many things I learn from Serge by watching him with people, it's very inspiring because it reflects what is possible for us all, and how our relationships can be when we each live from the love within.

Jonathan Stewart

His, Serge's, reflection is looking into the mirror of purity.

Nico van Haastrecht

12/4/2018 06:52:56 pm

I agree Melinda, there is so much to learn from Serge. Just observing Serge in how he lives his life, presents himself to people and how deeply he loves them is so inspiring to see but too makes me to remind I am from the same source of love he is living in full. A way of living life that is available for me too if I am ready to choose so as it is not only reserved for the privileged few.

Nico van Haastrecht

Reading this Blog made me to remind my first meeting with Serge Benhayon. It was at a presentation in Cologne some 10 years ago. At that time I had read his first book 'The Way It Is' and was listening to recordings of presentations that Serge gave in Australia. Reading this book and listening to this presentations was already amazing for me as it brought me a truth I always could feel a glimpse of but was not able to see reflected in our modern society. In meeting Serge Benhayon in person I really got trust back in life. Although I could also feel that I had a lot to discard, all ideals and beliefs I had taken on to be able to sustain my life here on earth in disconnection with the universal truth we are all from and belong to and Serge Benhayon is living on a daily basis

Nico van Haastrecht

12/4/2018 06:45:27 pm

I can only agree with what you say Jonathan, about Serge Benhayon in how he presents himself as completely equal to you which is a blessing to experience, especially when you meet him for the first time as it is very rare to meet people like Serge and for some 10 years I still feel myself blessed everyday by the fact I have met him and do know him.

Joseph Barker

19/4/2018 02:57:20 pm

Arguing over rights and wrongs and dwelling on the ins and outs of life’s events is a complete distraction. To truly look at why they exist without agenda inspires and opens up everyone to question. This is the only way our world will change - not through lecturing or blame. Thank you Jonathan and Serge Benhayon for modelling this open hearted way of being.

Joseph Barker

20/4/2018 05:24:05 pm

Love is always open, and constantly inviting us to evolve and say yes to more, but without drive or agenda. So it only make sense that Serge Benhayon is like this too as he is one of the most loving men you could ever meet.

Aimee Edmonds

5/5/2018 04:54:06 pm

Whenever I have heard Serge present I have felt what is true deep within my body, even when my mind has wanted to rationalize and hold onto what I have invested in longer.

Jonathan Stewart

13/5/2018 09:13:52 pm

That is so true Aimee and I have found that if I do not respect and honour what I have felt in my body I am in internal conflict, struggle and stuckness, while when I respond there is a feeling of release and movement.

Jennifer Smith

One of the things that I most love about the Sacred Esoteric Healing workshops is that it matters not if you are a client on the table or a practitioner working on a client there is a deeply stilling effect on the body. I was a practitioner in other complementary modalities and never once, prior to Universal Medicine, had I been asked as a practitioner to simply enjoy my own breath and that's all I needed to do. I have taken that with me in everything that I do. So it does not matter what I do I can always comes back and enjoy my own breath. This in itself brings joy to any moment.

Liane Mandalis

This is a beautiful description Jonathan of a man – Serge Benhayon - who reflects the true quality of our beingness: a light that does not dwindle over time but deepens and grows. What an inspiration for us all.

Shami

18/7/2018 10:14:47 pm

I love this line about how you went along to a presentation by Serge Benhayon 'to support your practise', because this shows how much caught up in ourselves we can be, seeking what will add to our skills sets and not really looking for the truth of how humanity is and what we each need to do to begin to turn things around for everyone.

Alison Valentine

22/7/2018 08:43:50 am

"At no time did he endeavour to side step a challenging question but answered them directly without judgment.' this is so true in the 15 years I have know Serge I have never known him even have the need to side step a question, his connection to the Universal mind is so strong and his experience of life so full that he can usually answer most questions and if he is unsure or does not have the answer there is always a humbleness that the does not know but will get back to us.

Annelies van Haastrecht

23/7/2018 08:34:14 am

True Jonathan, Serge is handling our bodies with more tenderness, respect and reverence than we do ourselves, in treatments, in conversations in everything he makes sure we are respected and his beholding love is always there because of what he lives day in day out.

Leigh Matson

I have been to a number of bodywork courses with Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. Every single time without fail and never exhausting the fact he highlights the deeply respectful need for non sexualised touch and in no way, no circumstance are private parts touched. They are to remain private! And this has been a constant in the years I have been attending courses.

Jonathan Stewart link

29/7/2018 03:15:30 am

The respect and honouring of the person and of their body is a hallmark of Serge Benhayon that never diminishes and is a benchmark for all to replicate.

Inma Lorente

11/8/2018 11:05:54 pm

Sege Benhayon makes possible what is available for all. Expressing from a place of no judgment and observing what's going on without react is a way of living that empowers and supports me deeply to live my life in full, enjoying every present moment for the opportunity of growing and evolution that it is.

Inma Lorente

12/8/2018 01:18:04 am

Jonathan your before and after with Universal Medicine is amazing. When I see you in the picture of this blog I find a man full of joy, beauty and vitality, it is very delightful to feel what you emanate from your presence today. Thanks for sharing

Lorraine Wellman

Yes, it is truly inspiring when we see the before and after pictures of Jonathan, and the difference we can also feel in how he lives today.

Sylvia

i never met a man before who is not imposing any energy on me.
Serge just eminates through his body which Can be felt by all who connect back to their own body. This reflection support me enormously already for ten years to be clear to See what is not love And say no to that.

Lieke Campbell

Serge Benhayon shows how we can present what we feel is true without arguments, judgment and superiority.

Anna

22/8/2018 11:47:06 am

Serge lives with energetic integrity and responsibility in an absolute way, you only need to spend a few minutes with this man to feel the truth of how he lives everyday.

Monica Gillooly

24/8/2018 02:36:30 pm

Serge Benhayon offers a consistency that is second to none, an openness and a willing to absolutely meet another as nothing less than his equal, so much so as Jonathan shares here, you can hear what he says even while you may be deeply challenged by it; and you're never expected to change what you feel or get anything, you're reminded of the fact that in you, you know, you can discern and to do this ever and always.

Esther Andras

25/8/2018 06:46:22 am

That what Serge Benhayon lives and presents is not foreign to us, it is a truth that we deep down know but do not live and hence why it can be at times very challenging as it exposes our own ways of not living our truth.

Natalie Hawthorne

3/9/2018 12:36:55 pm

Jonathan it has been remarkable to watch and see you unfold and return to the true man you are, you reflect the same qualities of Serge Benhayon, a man how is tender and caring. How challenging it can be to be exposed for what you thought to be true and come to understand and see how they are not. Not from following Serge but from you experiencing and feeling what is love and truth and what is not. How you have surrendered to this is visibly very notable and you are just a gorgeous man. I love having a hug with you and feeling all that you bring.

Samantha

16/9/2018 12:24:09 pm

Serge Benhayon's ability to not argue or react when faced with a challenge is tremendous, I have seen Serge handle many challenges and in his response I have only ever seen him hold the other in the highest, highest amount of love.

Lorraine Wellman

17/9/2018 10:12:16 pm

I was also at the course that you attended in April 2006, it was not my first course with Serge, but I still remember the April 2006 course very clearly, and yes it never ceases to amaze me how Serge deals with different facets of us human beings; he presents an inspirational way of being with people whatever the situation.

Willem Plandsoen

21/9/2018 07:17:45 am

Very powerfull testimonial Jonathan. What you share is what I hold as one of the more remarkable elements in who Serge Benhayon is. He indeed respects everybody's views and believes, even if he knows they are not true. And never argues of tries to convince, and just asks to discern what he presents, holding everybody in love.

Natalie Hawthorne

21/9/2018 08:49:37 am

There is certainly no side stepping on Serge's behalf, he is totally 100% to being transparent and being loving all the way. Serge is remarkable in this way and something I have appreciated from day dot of meeting him.

Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
