Serge Benhayon: providing true support throughout my 14 year cancer experience

​I first met Serge many years ago after a friend had recommended him as a healer/practitioner. I booked a session to check him out. My body has always been very sensitive and I could not let just anybody work on me and touch me. Sometimes I had to stop a massage, or whatever kind of bodywork session I had, and get off the table because I could not handle how the person touched me – it felt so wrong and insensitive; or the practitioner was simply not present with what he/she was doing. 
Serge’s sessions felt good, but I was not open and ready for the depth of healing he was offering. So I went a couple of times and then I forgot about him. It was also quite a distance to drive from my house to where Serge was working out of his converted garage in Alstonville.

​Years later, after I had a breast cancer diagnosis, someone again mentioned him and recommend I go to see him. So I met Serge again. That was about 12 years ago. At the time I was trying to heal the cancer myself and I did not want to see any doctors or have surgery.


His healing sessions were/are something else, something I had not experienced before, and this time I was beginning to be ready for true healing. 

At first I didn’t understand what he was saying about breast cancer being about a woman not nurturing herself, as I thought that many of the things I was doing were nurturing eg: eating all organic and mostly raw food, doing juice fasts… 
Later I would come to understand that the quality of nurturing is not in what we do for ourselves but how we are with ourselves. Despite it being much later that I would come to understand this, I persisted with seeing Serge because I sensed that what he was offering was true healing.
However, I still hung on for a little while to try and do it my way; determined I would not need medical intervention having studied nutrition and all sorts of new age natural healing methods. During this period I saw John of God twice and went to a Mexican cancer clinic (both was a waste of a lot of money and time, and not helping in any way) while also regularly seeing Serge for sessions. While Serge never approved of these other methods he never told me not to do them – he was patient and supported me to come to my own understanding.

When I eventually realised my way was not working and I needed surgery, he fully supported me in this decision.

​Today Serge has a beautiful clinic in Goonellabah with several practitioners working there. Over the years he has developed several healing modalities including Chakra-puncture, a light needling technique that has greatly supported me. 


Serge can feel what my body and I need at any specific time of my evolution; he supports and facilitates my healing, most importantly my energetic healing of the energetic ‘diseases’ that were there long before the physical ailments came to the surface. 

While Serge supports medicine to work on the physical body, he works more on the energetic body and supports the healing of all the hurts and past behaviours that have influenced how we treat and are with ourselves, which have in turn, impacted our body. 

He treats people with cancer without charge and his support makes a huge difference when you go through chemotherapy or radiation. You/the client/we have to do our part in the healing, he is not doing it for you/us. 

​I observed my good friend going through heavy/strong chemotherapy not throwing up once or getting seriously sick. He supported me through all my different phases of cancer recurrences, through 6 weeks of radiation therapy, and now stage 4 metastasised cancer and I seem to be healthier in mind and body – except the cancer – than a lot of people around me. I am a medical miracle. My openness to healing, Serge’s sessions, a wonderful Specialist Surgeon and some medication I take, all contribute to me having an exceptional feeling of wellbeing even near the end of my life. And I know that I will have this support for the next few years, whether I have a couple of years or 3 or 4 left this time around.

Serge – an amazing teacher

For many people school years have not been very pleasant and a good teacher is a rare find. At my school time and as far as I can tell maybe even more extreme nowadays, teaching was imposing and you were told all the time what to do, what to learn, when to learn, how to learn; with your own wellbeing, abilities or weaknesses rarely considered. We were never taught how to live in this world joyfully, in harmony and truth; to feel energy in our body, to feel truth, to feel and know about energy and/or be supported in what we knew and still felt when we were little. We knew then what was true or not true, we could read energy and feel people. But this was squashed and suppressed so that growing up we so often seem to lose these abilities. It is always about doing and producing, fitting in… today even more so.
Yet life is a never ending learning and it is never too late to re-learn. In my sixties now I am re-learning so much I have always known deep within my inner heart (an esoteric knowing).
The teachings of the Ageless Wisdom, which Serge presents, are ancient old teachings, going back to Jesus, Plato, Hermes… They make a lot of sense to me, are full of love and understanding and never imposing. They are Universal and true for everyone everywhere at all times. Serge is the best teacher I ever came across. He does not preach, tell you what to do, make you wrong or put you down. He offers, suggests, and presents a possibility for me to feel into the truth of something, to feel in my body the truth of what is for him a fact, a knowing. And he always points out to not just believe all he says but to discern and feel within for the truth in everything he says. 

I did not understand what he was presenting for a long time, I was so ‘brainwashed’, conditioned by school, society and life and so full of ideals and beliefs that I never felt into the truth or not of it all. But I felt something when Serge was talking, a feeling of truth, sincerity and realness I was looking for all my life, searching here and there, along the whole width of the New Age movement and natural healing ways. Being over a decade with a guru, extreme ways of eating, meditating, lots of cathartic and mental therapy, and before all that – drugs and alcohol and yet nothing ever got me to what I was longing for – ME and the Love that is me and always within me.  
With Serge I feel sincerity, honesty, truthfulness and someone who, as I have observed over many years now, truly and fully walks and lives his talk and teachings. His life is open, transparent, harmonious and loving for all to see. Serge is teaching what has been taught for eons and what all of us know deep within. It is nothing new, nothing mysterious or difficult. It is quite simple really and yet not easy to actually live this truth. How many do really allow themselves to feel and know how damaging for example alcohol or sugar is? If you are honest with yourself most would have to say ‘I do feel and know that.’ But to take the step and cut it out of your life is not so easy. And then again it is – it is simply a self-loving choice to make. And Serge’s great way of teaching is that he lives every word he says and this is very inspiring. To meet, feel and connect with Serge, you get that he is the real deal and that his teachings are no different.
​

Serge – a trusted and dear friend 

Over those last 12 years my relationship with Serge has developed from him being my practitioner, supporting me and my body through my on-going cancer experience and healings, to becoming my teacher, to being my friend whom I love deeply. He is always there for me when I need support, as he is for everybody; any new diagnosis, any question I might have, or just something I like to share with him, he is always available.

That’s how he is, open, available, understanding, transparent, loving, and that to everybody, holding all equally in love. I sometimes wonder how he can do it; no matter where he is, what time it is when he is for example teaching in Europe, or what he is doing, his response is often instantly to an email or text message. He feels what and when you need something. And there are 100s of students and also non-students wanting to ask him something or connect with him. 

He once called me a ‘sweet little old lady’ who was bringing an enormous amount of power. Coming from anyone else it might have sounded condescending but he said it with such love that I couldn’t not receive it. It was the first time anyone had called me a little old lady and it took me a moment – at first I was surprised and then I could feel more deeply what was being said. He was celebrating me, and the fullness I am now bringing in my elder years. This was when I started to fully embrace being an elder and what this could mean for the people in my life who could benefit from that elder quality and also what I could bring to the community I live in. 

From a quiet, shy, insecure and introverted woman, now in my 60s I am starting to speak up as a confident elder woman in the community. In many ways I consider my friendship with Serge Benhayon the catalyst for this change and for me to come to understand and recognise my true self.
I now know it is time for me to share myself and my wisdom with the world, and not hold it all inside.

That is the beauty what Serge brings. To learn to love our body as our vessel for expression of the divine we all are and at the same moment not to identify with the body as we are much more. To take care about our body and to feel that our body shows our way to the truth we all know. Serge Benhanyon is an amazing teacher in my life who supported me all the way to find myself back and to heal deep intens hurts and to become more and more the love I always was but just was hiding inside. His live is always there, very patient, no judgements, just understanding and love as being hold by God. And he learns us that we can all live like that I bring even more service to humanity.

Serge Benhayon is many things – a father, partner, a teacher, healer/practitioner, mentor and friend. What make this so precious is the foundation he brings to all he does in his own livingness and love he holds himself in first. Serge is an advocate for whole health and conventional medicine bringing a challenge to us all to take energetic responsibility for our lives and every choice we make. A truly ordinary, humble and loving man

It is very telling you say if you are ready for a healing from Serge Benhayon, as his treatments are I would imagine much like his presentations and teaching, multi-layered and offering a lot more than meets the eye. How open we are to receiving the message, the healing, is really all that is in question.

Wise words Vicky! It is important to make different choices in our lives when we are ready and sometimes we get that nudge in the form of an illness. Ingrid's article is inspiring, true and honest, from an amazing woman, reflecting the beauty and strength that is within us all. She walks the talk, her smile lights up a room and her eyes sparkle with wisdom within. Yes, I also agree that Serge is an amazing presenter and teacher, showing us all the truth of who we are. Great article!

So true Stephen, what Serge Benhayon offers us is never presented just on one level, it is always a multi-layered gift that slowly drip by drip, seeps its way through the many layers of resistance, switching on some light bulbs as they go!

It is the multi layered approach that brings us a deeper level of understanding that is felt in the body not just feed into the head. Offering us more to be who we truly are and bring more of this to the world.

Absolutely Stephen. What Serge offers us in a healing session, in a workshop or even in an email is always deeply profound and multi layered. The one line answers are always the ones that stop us in our tracks and ask us to look more deeply at the choices we have made. It then requires a willingness to accept them and to take responsiblity for our own lives from that point on.

Your humbleness Ingrid and depth of appreciation for Serge Benhayon, brought tears to my eyes. It is the same humbleness and tenderness that I see in you every time I meet you, the eyes of someone who has been deeply, deeply met for the essence of who they are and is now sharing this beauty with everyone they meet.
Serge's gift to the world is beyond what words can describe.

Your path back to your true self is an inspiration to us all Ingrid. Your are indeed an elder with so much to reflect to the world about how to live the truth of who we are despite what may be going on for us personally. In fact, it is this love lived that is the ‘secret ingredient’ that allows such an incredible transformation to occur, not only for ourselves but also for all we meet. Serge Benahyon is a catalyst in the sense that by virtue of what he lives he inspires others to equally live that which is within them also so that they (we) are able to do the same. This is how we pull each other up so we all can arise out of the loveless momentum we as a humanity have been caught in for so long, back to the immense love and truth of who we really are.

Beautifully said Fumiyo and Rebecca and I totally agree, to find just one of these qualities in a person that is consistent (and in this I mean the WHOLE time) can sometimes be quite hard .. without at times getting grumpy, tired, irritable, frustrated etc .. but to have many consistent qualities as Serge Benhayon does such is indeed quite inspiring. Serge has absolutely raised the bar in how we are to live like no other I have ever known.

'the quality of nurturing is not in what we do for ourselves but how we are with ourselves.' the teachings from Serge Benhayon have given many of us a much greater understanding of cancer, why we get it and how to live with it. He is very much pro-medicine and would never tell us what to do, and he is very supportive in every way.

Knowing you Ingrid, the depth of light and grace you hold every time I see you, and the wisdom that you so readily and uncompromisingly share today… you are a woman transformed from the lady I first met around 2002. Everything you've shared here cannot be refuted in this light – for today I see who you are and am blessed by all that you have reclaimed in yourself.
That you feel this way, in no small part due to the greatness of support, teachings and wisdom brought by Serge Benhayon, is case in point for the world to take notice. How often do we truly see someone nearing the end of a lifetime, so truly radiant – no checking out, no 'false bliss', no sense of victimhood or blame/anger at the world… Someone deeply committed to the way in which she lives every day, definitely WAY more vital than most, and whose presence ever-confirms that yes, there is a God, and we are made of Him.

Your personal experience with cancer is powerful testament that Serge Benhayon is leading a revolution not only in the treatment of cancer but in the whole approach to illness and disease. In your statement, "While Serge never approved of these other methods he never told me not to do them – he was patient and supported me to come to my own understanding," expresses clearly the unimposing nature of this revolution to allow the individual to come to this understanding in their own time – he just presents the truth.

What a wonderful testimonial to a wonderful man, a man that I met 12 years ago who offered me the keys to changing my life, but then he left it up to me to take them or not. That’s what blew me away as so many other presenters had tried to make me believe what they were saying was the truth. Now I know, thanks to Serge Benhayon, that you don’t believe truth, you feel it in every part of your body, it is a inner knowing that you would not want to ignore.

'I persisted with seeing Serge because I sensed that what he was offering was true healing.' As soon as I met Serge I too felt at once that he was the real deal. Sometimes I am quite surprised at how far I have come since I met him and at how my life has panned out as a result. I have a lot to thank him personally for - the richness of my relationships, the richness of my family life and the richness I now enjoy with myself that harbours not harsh self critique, but an acceptance and appreciation of who I am and what I bring, an awareness of the ever expansion that is on offer and an awareness that I will always be learning and deepening in that expansion. In having come this far I feel like I am only just beginning, but it is a new beginning devoid of tension in the freshness of being clear of hurts, and clear of many of the ideals and beliefs that were once deeply entrenched!

How many people are as at home as you are with repeated and now terminal illness; who can say they are experiencing 'exceptional wellbeing' near the end of their life? Your words are a stunning testimony to both yourself and Serge, working in loving partnership to bring true understanding and support on every level. Thank you, dear sweet little old lady, for sharing your story with the world. And thank you Serge Benhayon for the exquisite love and grace you are.

You are truly something else Ingrid, what an inspiration. I know someone who had breast cancer and it has now infiltrated into their body and are really struggling as the treatments to keep the cancer at bay are getting more severe. To look at your photograph and see the light in your eyes and how they shine out to us it's as though you are saying yes I have cancer but I am also so much more than the illness that is in my body. I am not defined by the disease at all whereas we mostly give up and our lives revolve around the cancer and how to beat it.

"I did not understand what he was presenting for a long time, I was so ‘brainwashed’, conditioned by school, society and life and so full of ideals and beliefs that I never felt into the truth or not of it all." This, as it is for the vast majority if not nearly all of humanity, was my conditioning too. However, the loving patience with which Serge communicated enabled me to feel the truth in what he presented and I am so thankful that I questioned rather than rejected what he presented, however much it challenged long held cherished beliefs. By doing so I feel liberated and able to breath.

Understanding what true nurturing is, has been an exposing journey for me, but one that has benefited me enormously. Even the standard accepted understanding that sleep is the answer to exhaustion - what a lie that is. People are more exhausted now than ever before and yet people sleep more. Is it not time we understand what Serge Benhayon has been saying for 17 years - that it's how we live that gives us our energy? Nurturing is deeply honouring ourselves and connecting with our bodies.

Serge Benhayon's presentations and teachings are empowering us to unpick the lies we have so erroneously accepted. My understanding and appreciation of the word 'nurturing' has undergone a complete revolution since studying Serge's work. When I am exhausted I know that sleep is not the only remedy I need, focusing on the quality of my movements, interactions, thoughts and foods all play a part in the quality of my energy levels. When I really focus on the task in hand throughout the day, chose the quality in which I walk, move, work, communicate myself lovingly, my vitality increases. When I spend the day thinking about a thousand other things that need doing and get frustrated as a consequence, all my precious vitality just goes down the drain.

The ability of someone to not interfere, nor judge us for our choices is the deepest of qualities a human being can have. In fact it shows us to be much more than human I would say. In this regard the acceptance that Serge Benhayon has for people warts and all is in my opinion unsurpassed. Incredible really when you think how many people ( me included) he must see harming themselves, and yet does not interfere for it is their only true way of learning and healing.

A good teacher is indeed a rare find...different to the more usual approach of giving the 'whats', 'wheres', 'whens', and 'whys' as being a 'given' without proper space for question or challenge, Serge Behhayon offers the whats, wheres, whens, and whys, but leaves it for the student to discover the truth of what is presented. When I come to an understanding in this way, it remains a truth in my body that feels so sure and undeniable.

I can totally relate to 'breast cancer being about a woman not nurturing herself.' For the most shocking way women are brought up is to put the world and his uncle first and themselves last. But it is a game we buy into, for it means we do not have to take responsibility for our health and wellbeing, all in the name of 'self sacrifice'. And oh boy are we good at it. In the process we hold ourselves in such hardness, locked down in protection. Holding the value of tenderness is a huge learning for me, and yes, also about self responsibility.

'We were never taught how to live in this world joyfully, in harmony and truth; to feel energy in our body, to feel truth, to feel and know about energy and/or be supported in what we knew and still felt when we were little. We knew then what was true or not true, we could read energy and feel people. But this was squashed and suppressed so that growing up we so often seem to lose these abilities.' This is so beautifully summed up. What a blessing it has been to meet Serge Benhayon who is so in tune with all of this that he could point this out so easily. For me personally it had to get past layer upon layer of protection but there was no doubting that what was being spoken of was complete truth, not more so because I could feel that in fact I had known the truth but that in not expressing it I had lost my trust in it.

Many people see cancer as 'bad luck', it is not yet commonly accepted as having a specific cause other than interference from physical causes such microwaves, diet and radiation, but seeing lifestyle choices as the true cause is gradually coming into the light. With the lack of self nurturing being an important factor in breast cancer, I can think of so many women I know who 'sacrificed' their lives for the sake of their children, their local community or generally helping everybody else but not themselves.

I know what you mean when you mention how you were sensitive to how therapists conducted their session and you even sometimes had to ask them to stop because you could not even handle them touching you in that manner. I might have been one of those therapists, because although I was sure that I was gentle, caring and attentive, when I met Serge Benhayon, received sessions from him and also started to study how to practice the modalities he teaches, I started to understand a whole new level of integrity, responsibility and care of people that I had not even dreamed of.

I agree completely Golnaz. When I first learnt Sacred Esoteric Healing I was really struck by just how tender, gentle this modality is and how very powerful. By comparison my usual approach and modality felt very aggressive, something I had never appreciated before. It was a huge shift in my awareness and appreciation of what it means to embody an exquisite tender grace that is clearly lived to the hilt by Serge Benhayon and which speaks volumes to us on every level because it is an inherent known quality that resides in us all, even when we choose not to express it.

What I so appreciate about Serge Benhayon and The way of The livingness is that there are no goals to achieve no end game to get to, I am unfolding at my pace and have come to the understanding that life is all about how we are with ourselves and that this has a knock on effect to everyone around us. The more we live within our bodies and not in nervous energy the steadier we become. This is noticed as we watch each other all the time and suddenly strangers start talking to you because they can feel a quality that is missing from their life and you have that quality and they want to know about it. It's fascinating we say we cannot feel but actually we are feeling each other all the time.

How we are with ourselves as opposed to what we do with ourselves is a giant distinction and one that Serge Benhayon has been teaching for many years. The internal push that used to be my normal has now transformed into an often present flow, and when for whatever reason I go back into drive or push, the body tells me with its pain and discomfort that push isn't a loving way to be with myself.

Reply
Eva Rygg

It is a huge distinction I agree Heather and an important one to emphasise. The more we learn to transform that internal push in to a consistent responsiveness to life, the smoother our internal physiology is allowed to flow. The pain we experience when we go into drive is a consequence of our internal thoughts pushing our delicate bodily systems into overwhelm. The example Serge Benhayon provides has made it very obvious to me just how much the quality of my thoughts affect my health now that I have this clear distinction between overdrive and the delicate responsiveness that arises when we bring heart, body and soul together in the moment.

"And Serge’s great way of teaching is that he lives every word he says and this is very inspiring. To meet, feel and connect with Serge, you get that he is the real deal and that his teachings are no different." What Serge presents comes from a fullness that can only be attained by living what is said. His teachings are not only presented in words, but in the quality of his walk, the grace with which he opens a door, how he greets everyone, his firm but gentle adherence to the truth, teachings that sink in on all levels and drop by drop erode all those beliefs and ideals that we have wrapped around our own internal grace.

'Serge can feel what my body and I need at any specific time of my evolution; he supports and facilitates my healing, most importantly my energetic healing of the energetic ‘diseases’ that were there long before the physical ailments came to the surface.' This sentence really interested me as it is a great reminder that the energetic disease always comes first. We may blame the substance or the chemical but it is already there energetically, we make our choices in how we wish to live from this energy or in other words I am seeing that these choices align to the energy that is running in our bodies first before they manifest as a disease. How very important and crucial it is to understand and feel what is being allowed to run the body, before we look to any outer 'cause.'

'At first I didn’t understand what he was saying about breast cancer being about a woman not nurturing herself, as I thought that many of the things I was doing were nurturing eg: eating all organic and mostly raw food, doing juice fasts…' It is interesting how we 'think' we are doing all the right things and yet are not aware of the quality in which we do them. I really had very little conscious awareness that I was hugely lacking in self worth and love, believing that because I ticked all the boxes on the outside and being satisfied with that, that lack of self worth could lie secretly buried and untouched under the protective cloak of hardness I was wearing - yes I was in denial. If I hadn't met Serge I am sure I would have been another statistic for some disease or other, getting more inwardly frustrated, sad and tense at life - blaming it and everyone else for my own undealt with misery! Because of Serge Benhayon's example I have been supported to deal with all of this and take responsibility for the choices I had been making and have been learning to make life more about the quality in which I do things, rather than making the focus on the doing itself. As a consequence I have little to no inner anxiety and find that I am much more free and spontaneous with life...

There are many different ways of supporting people with cancer, from the standard medical and chemical procedures to herbal remedies, there are also counsellors helping patients and families deal with the distress, but I do not know of many institutions that offer an explanation for the cause because so many people do not like to feel that they are responsible for their own illness.

It's very clear from your writing how you have embraced the opportunity for true healing, and this is massively inspiring. This article in itself is going to be very healing for others to read. And I completely agree with every word you have shared relating to Serge Benhayon; he is indeed an exceptional and remarkable man bringing a huge amount of wisdom about life that we have long forgotten. My experience of listening to and being with Serge over the year is the same as yours in that he is so patient, never judges or imposes, and is always very open and treats everyone equally with the greatest love and respect I have ever personally felt.

This has been the case for so many people, because after years of living so far from the truth of our essence, it can take a while to start turning it round and opening up to what is offered even though our heart has been deeply craving it all along.

To me Serge Benhayon is presenting and living the truth of love. Since knowing Serge I have come to an understanding that I was functioning through life, ticking all the boxes of a successful career, friends etc. What I have come to understand is that our lives are devoid of true love a love that seems to well from our heart and flow through our veins and with this flow comes a greater sense to cherish and deepen what is all ready there and has been waiting for life times to re emerge again. With the support of Serge Benhayon humanity is waking up to the fact that we are love we come from love it is our inheritance.

Serge’s sessions felt good, but I was not open and ready for the depth of healing he was offering. - I love the honesty in what you have written here Ingrid. I remember when I first met Serge Benhayon and a lot of the things he said really unsettled me and the beliefs that I had but I knew that what he was talking about was true and made absolute sense. What was unsettling was the realisation that so much of how I had lived and what I thought was truth was not. It felt at the time that I had been mislead and blind for a long time as there were so many things that I had not questioned and I had never learnt to discern energy so I was in fact blind and had been just doing what everyone else around me was doing.

I can attest to Ingrid’s glowing health despite her stage 4 cancer. She stands out from the crowd as being way more vibrant and alive than almost all people I meet.

Esoteric medicine can look at the energetic reason why someone is ailing and start to work on that and the conventional medicine can support the patient with all the modern technology that is at the medical professions disposal. Now that would truly be amazing and one day I feel certain it will be this way as we can all see that conventional medicine does not have the answers to the health crisis we are in .

When I read testimonials such as Ingrid's here it does make me wonder why more people don't listen to the wisdom of Serge Benhayon, it is clear this is a man sharing a message that we can all learn and get a lot out of. And when we look at the mess of the world and its intensity, it is clear we need to change. I reckon Serge has given us the answers.

Serge Benhayon has offered the world a different way of living, one that brings with it great purpose. But with that comes a responsibility that may at first seem daunting, but once it is begun to be lived, it slowly becomes a dearly embraced part of life.

Serge Benhayon is establishing a model of health care that will become our norm because all those who are engaging in both approaches are experiencing the most incredible results. Looking at the photo of Ingrid it is impossible to imagine that she is actually so ill. The combination of self-responsibility, energetic healing and western medicine is clearly delivering results that go way beyond our current understanding of what heath and healing really is.

This is such a profound comment: "I did not understand what he was presenting for a long time, I was so ‘brainwashed’, conditioned by school, society and life and so full of ideals and beliefs that I never felt into the truth or not of it all". We often do not see the tight grip of the many ideals and beliefs that hold us until we try to manoeuvre ourselves free of them. That itself I am beginning to recognise as a clear sign of their falsity. I have never even once felt any pressure to accept or even go along with the truths of the Ageless Wisdom presented by Serge Benhayon.

This is a truly sweet and personal sharing Ingrid. Your words convey the way Serge Benhayon is so much more than simply a practitioner - and likewise how a conversation, session or meeting with him carries much more than just what you might think on the surface. Beyond anything else Serge shoes that the greatest teaching you can offer anyone is to live true to who you are - and walk the walk instead of just talk the talk. God knows we have so many 'wise' words but not so many walking with Love.

It is beautiful to read this article and to feel in it the absolute appreciation of Serge Benhayon and the wisdom, love and steadiness that he has brought to not only Ingrid's life, but to countless others around the world. When I first read one of his books, it was like a breath of fresh air. Someone was finally prepared to say how it is and I resonated very deeply with what Serge said, because I knew it to be true, I just didn't know how to live it. This is changing, I now do know how to live my truth and it feels so stilling to do so. I finally feel at home in my body.

One thing that I've also felt from Serge is how he is about constant support and true support, what he presents and how he supports is not to win you over, but to help you heal and this always inspires me. I've had times of resistance to the level of love offered but he has not wavered. It's a great example for me in how I can live my life, being true to me and not changing who I am to be liked. The more I step forward with honouring myself the greater I feel in myself.

What you have shared here Ingrid about Serge and his way of living and being/sharing with all equally is remarkable and it is true. When I first came to listen to a presentation from Serge there was that deep inner knowing that this man speaks the truth, even though it took quite a time to begin to feel and understand what he was sharing I absolutely knew I was hearing truth. That truth from Serge has never wavered it has simply deepened as I have deepened my willingness to hear it.

'While Serge never approved of these other methods he never told me not to do them – he was patient and supported me to come to my own understanding' he is indeed a man with huge understanding and unlimited patience - he presents the same thing over and over again - some of us get it but do nothing, others get it and do something and they in turn inspire us too, until eventually we all get it and DO something.

This is a very powerful testimony Ingrid, your journey has been a very long and profound one by this account. Serge has clearly been key in what has unfolded for you, and as someone who has a great deal of experience with cancer patients who were 'going it alone', the first part of your story is very familiar. I cannot tell you how refreshing it is to hear the second part however, as true healing has a very different depth, feeling and usually outcome. Medical intervention is a necessary part of the process of dealing with cancer in my experience, and you are definitely a case in point of that view.

Many of us are coming to 'understand that the quality of nurturing is not in what we do for ourselves but how we are with ourselves.'

It was sold to me as healthy. With Serge Benhayon presenting the ageless wisdom, and essentially the wisdom I hold in my body, I can discern by feeling in any moment whether something is right for me, and disregard the outside messages, because I now accept my own body knows best.

Your medical history demonstrates that healing is very different from a cure – when we heal, we can still have the disease/condition, but its energetic root causes are addressed while conventional medicine deals with the physical/anatomical side of things. Together, esoteric and conventional medicine make a great combo which supports the patient and their family/carers as well as the health system.

To me what Serge Benhayon presents on energy that everything is energy makes complete sense to me. What if the ailments in our bodies are a way that the body clears the disregard we have been living in either in a previous life or this incarnation? And is it possible that if we do not take into account the energy that caused the disease then it will manifest itself again in our bodies. To me the sooner we reconnect back to what we innately know which is that everything is energy we can use this understanding coupled with Western medicine to actually heal the body in full. I have read a very informative book about Albert Einstein's theory of energy it makes so much sense. Why is it that we haven’t been taught this in school, that it isn’t part of our education?

It's the divine quality that Serge Benhayon has restored to life, our innate knowing of our fragility, grace and awesome intelligence that does not come from an outer source, a magic ritual, a meditation, chant or affirmation but from within. These qualities reside in our bodies, forever present waiting for us to re-connect and re-claim them, a tender quality of movement that arises via an internal focus rather than any adherence to an external source. It completely blows the New Age Spiritual ideals out of the water!

When I first met Serge and had a session with him I felt very little and really didn't understand what he was talking about, for like you Ingrid, I was full of New Age and Alternative Therapy ideals, but I persevered because I did feel something that was true and real and refreshing after all that, what seems to me now, empty pretence at healing. I have been rewarded for that perseverance with a deepening knowledge of myself,why I have the symptoms I have, and how I am my own healer. It is all within me, and the sessions and programmes with Serge are there to support us in that through understanding the choices we have to live a life of love and responsibility, and commitment to our purpose here on earth. Serge is certainly an amazing teacher and what he presents is so simple and accessible to all.

Despite everything that our lives are and have become through the complexities and onslaughts of the human existence, there is still that part of us that always has known and always will know. It's so humbling and I so appreciate now being at a stage when I can feel this so fully and also, finally, be free of most of my self-judgements that I used to have for all the garbage that I was carrying.

It is noteworthy that while you were seeing Serge Benhsyon for the you were also using a whole load of other modalities that I know he would never recommend because energetically they go in the polar opposite to his sessions, yet he never ever told you to not do them.
I used to think living someone was to pressurise or seduce them to do what I thought was best for them. But such is the love and honouring of Serge Benhayon that he will wholeheartedly present everything you need to be able to make a Soulful choice and then he lovingly lets you make your own choices and come to the truth in your own time.

Thank you for a deeply heart-felt sharing!

How we are with ourselves is often not nurturing, we overeat, we exercise too much maybe, or harshly, we judge ourselves through our accomplishments, we strive to be worthy instead of knowing who we are, we self-abuse and our self talk is destructive. There is much to be learned by us all about how to self-love and self-nurture.

One of my favourite qualities about love is that it is always beholding and never imposing. Through this, great transformation can take place. It is testimonials such as your Ingrid that make my heart sing. Love restores all.

Ingrid I have had that same experience you describe during a treatment session. I remember feeling the imposition and the harshness of some modalities I tried along the way and how my body just could not surrender during the sessions. The sessions I have experienced during Universal Medicine courses and from Serge Benhayon have always felt completely different in my body - very holding and honouring.

If people were to understand what you share here about nurturing - that it is not what we do but the quality we are with ourselves - then this could be life changing. It has taken me a long time to understand or want to understand the difference. But as soon as I see what happens when I focus on quality - it feels like medicine in the body.

'We were never taught how to live in this world joyfully, in harmony and truth; to feel energy in our body, to feel truth, to feel and know about energy and/or be supported in what we knew and still felt when we were little.' True Ingrid, what Serge teaches us should be around from the day we were born. And it is beautiful to see that there are now parents who raise their children in the knowing that their child is already everything, wise by their ancient knowing and live with them in a way that is confirming and truly loving. Serge definitely lead the way in true parenting as he does in all other areas of life.

Ingrid it's a true joy to read this again, another beautiful example of the way in which Serge Benhayon so deeply and lovingly supports people. We literally blossom from the inside out under his care. This line is very true for me also about Serge "he works more on the energetic body and supports the healing of all the hurts and past behaviours that have influenced how we treat and are with ourselves, which have in turn, impacted our body." This is such a huge key to making lasting change in our daily lifestyle choices. When we experience the healing from Universal Medicine therapies to clear the hurts etc, we are then empowered to feel what is true and supportive for themselves. We can stop reacting to life and start then responding with love to ourselves and build true health and wellbeing.

And whenever I have heard Serge Benhayon present on the subject of nurturing, I have always wanted to explore it more, not because he has told me to do so, but because in his words I can recognise the truth of what nurturing is, even if I have not been living it, there is a deep recognition of its quality and of it being something that I want to have in my life.

Your story Ingrid of needing to connect a number of times to what Serge Benhayon presents, before you were willing to let it in, is not unusual I think.

Where would be? It's such a great lesson to us all and especially me, that unwavering consistency is at the heart of what makes Serge a truly Loving man who supports us all. He doesn't give himself away cheaply or for any temptation or pot of gold in this world.

I can recall when I first heard of 'breast cancer being about a woman not nurturing herself,' and also felt that I would be okay as I ate well and looked after myself. And then gradually I realised that the way I used and abused my body was not at all the nurturing I thought it was. In the world we are very good at redefining truth to suit us.

Serge never tells anyone what to do and this is so different from most practitioners in other modalities, where their goal is to want to fix and make us better. Serge understands the bigger picture and understands illness and disease inside out. and allows us to come to what we need to know for ourselves. We can then truly embody what we have felt and make the necessary changes, but he is always there supporting us in what ever way is needed and by the reflection of his own living ways to show there is a very different way to live life, unimpeded and un-imposed by ideals and beliefs, and with healing our very old and ingrained hurts.

Beautiful Sylvia sharing all you are thanks to the love support and healing reflected by Serge Benhayon now sharing with the world as you being you and the simplicity and knowing of this is very inspiring. "the quality of nurturing is not in what we do for ourselves but how we are with ourselves."

The truth is Serge Benhayon is all about empowerment, he re-ignaties the spark in others that says I can be this to...."I now know it is time for me to share myself and my wisdom with the world, and not hold it all inside." He inspires others to walk beside him and shine not ever behind him.

The support Serge Benhayon offers when someone is ill goes beyond normal friendship, he is able to give readings that help people to understand the energetic nature of their illness and the journey they are on. We can all do this as he keeps reminding us, but because of the way we live we are not always able to access that same inner wisdom.

'I was beginning to be ready for true healing.' Sometimes we are not ready to let go of what is making us sick, we want to hang on to a way of life that harms us, but if we are not ready then that is how it is. We do need to be able to give ourselves and others the space to be where they are at without any pressure to change. Serge Benhayon never pressurises us to change, he is simply offering truth and love and supporting us to allow healing from our Soul and he does this consistently regardless of what our response is.

Having support during a time of major illness from someone like Serge Benhayon is invaluable. There is so much uncertainty, stress and many new things to face during such times. The value of someone who is with you on this path truly supporting you on your personal path of healing is beyond words.

This is great and what I love about one of your points is how what matters and is key is not how we are going about doing what we are doing and the quality in the way we are doing them. Thanks to Serge Benhayon I have been able to connect with this and be inspired to stop and reflect in the way I was living. That by making simple yet consistent choices that were loving I am able to deepen this responsibility that we all have.

"We were never taught how to live in this world joyfully, in harmony and truth; to feel energy in our body, to feel truth, to feel and know about energy and/or be supported in what we knew and still felt when we were little" True and the lack of joy and harmony in out lives can lead to illness and disease. We can have the greatest mind in the world, be super intelligent but this will never stop us getting sick. It would be far better to teach the principles of the Ageless Wisdom at school than we would all the subjects that are on offer in school today. I feel we do know this as children, that something is missing in our education system and this is why many struggle or rebel. I know i did, many of the subjects seemed pointless and had little use for me in later life

I remember when I first started going to presentations by Serge Benhayon, I didn't always understand what he was presenting. But I somehow knew that I did know and that I would eventually understand. So I never worried about it. I knew that I was learning about life and a way to be in life and I also knew that it was up to me to live what what being presented. There was even a period of time where my mind was saying don't go to the presentations, but it was so clear that my body was ready.

‘the quality of nurturing is not in what we do for ourselves but how we are with ourselves’.
Every woman I know looked at it from the 'doing' point of view and considered going to the sauna as the best nurturing thing to do. And then Serge comes along and brings in the aspect of the quality of how we are with ourselves, now that is a completely different ballgame which can be deepened every day.

What is so beautifully obvious from this sharing is how a life can unfold and someone can truly blossom with true support no matter the circumstances. What Ingrid shares here is a testament to both the support and inspiration she’s received and also her choices to unfold this in her way without being judged or asked to be any other way. This is where Serge Benhayon excels in holding a space for another to be the Love they are in their own time and it’s not even that he’s patient (there is never a demand or push), it’s that you’re met by someone who never sees anything less than the glory you are.

I agree Fiona, in the past I have 'done' what may look on the surface like self-care and taking care of myself, but it has been through being disciplined, and at times being hard on myself, without a true intention to truly adore, cherish and nurture myself. Nowadays I am learning to feel the difference between what I 'ought' to do or 'should do' and what my body truly needs.

There is a very important part of this piece, where you talk about the fact that when you met Serge Benhayon for the second time, you were at the time attempting to heal the cancer yourself.

This is something I was unaware of before I met Serge, that you have to live what you present and people can feel this. It feels real and makes total sense because Serge is in fact bringing to us what we already know . I remember going to presentations before I met Serge and I would switch off or start to question what they were saying and I can see now that there wasn't the lived experience that Serge presents with, it might sound great but it was coming from knowledge and what they had learnt rather than what they had lived and felt from their body.

This I find very inspiring because of how much this simple act affected you, when really how many times do we all think that to create real change we have to go in and change the person, the group etc. When actually could there be the potential to simply be present, providing a constant reflection, which gives the space for what change there needs to be to happen naturally and of its own accord?

I’m still learning how to nurture myself and understand the detail. It's something. I would love to hear how Serge nurtures himself. One way he would do this I’m sure would be knowing his movements will align him to allow what comes through him via God and The Universe. If there was abusive lesser thoughts he would renunciate and re-imprint them. Being tender with myself when I’m feeling so much is my gateway to nurturing myself.

How we can be in our innate essence connected to the Love that we are or we can be in separation from this and in an energy that is keeping you away from our essence. We all feel this but it is wether we are aware of it and if we are choosing our natural divine quality or not.

We are so programmed to understand the 'doing' and what that means for us, such as eating healthily, working hard, keeping the house clean, but are we loving and caring with ourselves, do we go the extra mile to make sure that we are supporting our whole being? Do we question our thoughts?

A true teacher does not tell you what to do or bombard you with knowledge you are expected to remember, rather they show you what is possible by virtue of what they live that is also available for you to live, if you so choose. Thank God for teachers like Serge Benhayon that show us there is another way to live that is more honouring our innate preciousness, the divinity we each in essence are and thank God for students such as yourself Ingrid, that show us it is never too late to make the simple adjustments required that lead to a far richer and more fulfilling life, despite what illnesses we may have.

To show the world that you still can be and live joyful while having a disease like cancer is the world should see. You are a true role model Ingrid.

Absolutely Willem, Ingrid and along with many other amazing elders I have met at Universal Medicine have inspired me enormously. My understanding of illness and disease was once surrounded with fear and I had a doom and gloom perspective towards it. But now, I see it with a true perspective and understand the healing it offered.

What an amazing turnaround to hear someone living more themselves, to feel the settlement in themselves and their joy in how they are, from where they've been, and to know that no matter the age we can have our renaissance; it's palpable to feel the humility shared here in how Ingrid lives and to feel her absolute appreciation for the support of Serge Benhayon and how he's inspired her to live as she does now. I can very much second what Ingrid shares here in how Serge Benhayon is and how he support many to live with a greater clarity and joy in their lives, I know I now do, and his support has been hugely instrumental in that. And there are many who can say the same.

I also experience Serge as a very dear friend and inspiration and as I write this I realise the same applies to you Ingrid in that you too are a very dear friend and inspiration.

'While Serge supports medicine to work on the physical body, he works more on the energetic body and supports the healing of all the hurts and past behaviours that have influenced how we treat and are with ourselves, which have in turn, impacted our body.' Using conventional medicine and the esoteric way works. It’s the true marriage of holistic medicine we have been seeking.

I met you this year in person and was astounded by your love and "piece of mind" as I would call it. You show people such a different way Ingrid. A different way to be with a serious disease, which cancer is.

To see a disease as a blessing, as a learning, is something we are not quite ready to hear in the West. But we have to see the role we play in getting sick, otherwise the heath system will fall apart by our irresponsible choices.

When we (humanity) do this more ... see illness and dis-ease as a blessing, understanding the energetic root cause and something we can learn from it will truly be a time to celebrate.

"Later I would come to understand that the quality of nurturing is not in what we do for ourselves but how we are with ourselves." This is not something I had considered before I heard Serge Benhayon talk about the significance of how we are with ourselves with everything that we do. Having put it to the test I have come to understand the importance of this simple act, and how it is possible to continually deepen how I am by continually bringing my attention to how I am doing what I do.

Sandra is it possible we don't want to be aware of the energy we are using when we are not with ourselves. For eons religion has encouraged the masses to give up on responsibility of feeling energy, saying they will take care of us as long as we attend church confess our sins and leave our money to them when we die. And isn't this what we have done? we have become irresponsible by checking out and not being with ourselves. When we are not with ourselves it allows a different energy to come into our bodies and nest.

I love how there is always more awareness and understanding to be received in our lives, 'Yet life is a never ending learning and it is never too late to re-learn. In my sixties now I am re-learning so much I have always known deep within my inner heart (an esoteric knowing).'

'Later I would come to understand that the quality of nurturing is not in what we do for ourselves but how we are with ourselves.' This is a huge shift in our current understanding of what nurturing is.

I love your story Ingrid, it's real and raw and shows the integrity and love this man holds for all. That you are living your own healing is proof that the Way of the Livingness actually works - and yes - thank God for Serge Benhayon.

Ingrid, you are an inspiration to us all and what you've shared about Serge Benhayon is very beautiful. I too have experienced his generosity, love, care and absolute support. He is the greatest teacher of this era, who constantly dedicates his life to supporting people from all walks of life, he is making a huge impact on the world far beyond what we can at the moment comprehend.

I too did not understand Serge Benhayon's presentations for a long time. I couldn't grasp what was being said with my mind because of what I had been conditioned to previously in my life. However my body was saying yes and it is because of the impulses from my body that I continued to attend the workshops and boy I am so glad I did because of where I am today and what I have let go of everything makes so much sense.

The truth is, Serge Benhayon offers such extensive support. It is a constant holding to support us to be all we are, disease or no disease.

Often support is seen as doing things for another and that the more you do things the more you care. However I've experienced a simple three worded sentance from Serge before and it has felt hugly supportive and stuck with me for years. It's not the frequency of the actions but the quality that matters.

'Later I would come to understand that the quality of nurturing is not in what we do for ourselves but how we are with ourselves.' Absolutely. There is such a vast difference between the 2 regarding quality something I am forever learning.

It is not what we do it is how we do it, or as you say the quality that we live and express in and with 'in what we do for ourselves but how we are with ourselves'. We all know that it is easy to say the words 'I love you' but what is the truth or rather quality and intention of the expression.
