From Self-Loathing to Self-Love After Abortion: Learning to Accept ALL My Past Choices

~ womeninlivingness

by M, 44, Australia

Self-love is something I have been deepening both my understanding and practice of since becoming a client and student of Universal Medicine about 6 years ago. What I became aware of, particularly through having Esoteric Breast Massages (EBMs), was that one thing stands in the way of self love – self-loathing. I had no trouble recognising this in me for I have been my own worst critic, constantly judging myself, putting myself down, and it has taken time to gently identify and heal the many little (and some big) pockets of self-loathing that have been held in my body.

My Dream Job as a Bra Advisor – Discovering the Esoteric Breast Massage

Esoteric Breast Massages and the Questions I asked Myself

In 2008 at the age of 30, I came across the Esoteric Breast Massage (EBM). At the time I was working in the housing department for a local authority. Here I met people who were homeless or in unsettled living conditions: my role was to assess whether we could provide them with accommodation. By this point, although I was very good at my job and well known for being smart, efficient, understanding and kind to clients, there was no FUN in it for me.

Learning to Love Myself Through My Breasts – Discovering the Esoteric Breast Massage

~ womeninlivingness

by Luz Helena Hincapie, 35 years, BA Architect, Colombia, South America 

Something changed when I started attending Universal Medicine courses, and in particular, when I heard about the Esoteric Breast Massage (EBM). I remember I felt something unusually special, for some reason I didn’t feel suspicious or think it was strange, I felt I just wanted to find out more, and I did.  Continue reading “Learning to Love Myself Through My Breasts – Discovering the Esoteric Breast Massage” →

From Revulsion to Celebration and the wonders of the Esoteric Breast Massage

~ womeninlivingness

 by Kate Greenaway, Physiotherapist, Australia

Over the last 6 years I have been having Esoteric Breast Massages (EBM) from different fully qualified and trained practitioners with Universal Medicine. This is a wonderfully supportive and nurturing healing modality which has helped me let go of many old restrictive beliefs around what it is to be a woman and especially, a menopausal woman.

My Relationship with my Breasts Deepens (Breast Trilogy – Part 3)

~ womeninlivingness

With my experiences of the Esoteric Breast Massages well established in my life now, at age 38, I am continually deepening my connection with my breasts.

I was in the shower the other morning, washing my body. When I began to wash my breasts I felt the gorgeousness of them and I realised how much they had changed. How much I had changed with them. I was handling them with such tenderness and respect, naturally, without thinking about it first. I was just doing it naturally. In this moment I realised ‘I love them’!! Wow! I love my breasts!

I feel such a deep respect for myself as a woman in these moments, and my breasts are part of my being a woman.

I have a lot to uncover in relation to deepening my understanding of being a woman in today’s world and I appreciate the assistance my breasts give me with this unfoldment.

Unlike when I was 12 and my breasts were sore, I am now prepared to go deeper to find out what my breasts are telling me when they are feeling painful and tender to the touch.

At these times I have a choice whether to ignore what is happening in my body and write it off to ‘hormones’ or I can choose to… Continue reading “My Relationship with my Breasts Deepens (Breast Trilogy – Part 3)” →

My Relationship with My Breasts Changes (Breast Trilogy – Part 2)

~ womeninlivingness

From the time I started to develop breasts when I was 12, until I was in my 30s, my relationship with my breasts was like most other woman around me. I shared my experience in my last article titled ‘My Relationship with my Breasts.’

In my 30s I became pregnant and the first physical sign of pregnancy for me was my breasts increased in size. During pregnancy they increased slowly, and by the time my milk came in after birth they were just HUGE.

Now it was time to breastfeed.

I had heard lovely stories about the beauty of breastfeeding and so I looked forward to the amazingness of it all.

Sadly, breastfeeding for me was not fun… it hurt – it hurt a lot. Every time my daughter latched on I hit the roof. My nipples were so sensitive! I had plenty of milk so I thought ‘if I could, I should’, so I persevered, gritting my teeth every time I breastfed. I consulted experts and we were both deemed to be doing all the right things, but the sensitivity in my nipples never went away.

When my daughter was 4 months old a friend thought that Esoteric Breast Massages (EBMs) might be helpful for me, and she referred me to someone she had seen in Byron Bay, NSW.

I had two EBMs in a week and I learned a whole lot about my connection, or more accurately my dis-connection, to my breasts.

It was HUGE. Continue reading “My Relationship with My Breasts Changes (Breast Trilogy – Part 2)” →

Mastitis – Experiences and Observations on Women’s Health – Part 2

~ womeninlivingness ~ 3 Comments

by JK, UK

I am a woman who has experienced a number of women’s health issues (see Part 1 on Endometriosis). One of those women’s health issues was mastitis. I also have a curiosity about women’s health statistics and articles on the state of women’s health today.

Around 10 years ago I had very sore lumpy breasts, much sorer than they were around the time of my period. I went to my GP and I was quickly referred to a local specialist Breast Clinic. On arrival at the Breast Clinic I underwent a series of tests and investigations, including what I experienced to be an uncomfortable mammogram. For those of you who have never experienced a mammogram, it is like having your breasts squashed and pressed between two cold, hard metal plates in the most awkward of positions, whilst standing half naked in the middle of a cold, clinical room. As I was standing there I was nervous as I was also wondering ‘do I have breast cancer?’. This specialist Breast Clinic offers a ‘one-stop’ shop in that over a couple of hours you have many x-rays, tests, examinations, and then you wait in a corridor of chairs to be called in and given your ‘diagnosis’.

The Esoteric Breast Massage – Rediscovering Sweetness

~ womeninlivingness

When I was little I used to love dressing up, playing with my mum’s jewellery and spraying on her perfume. I would go into my room (hiding mum’s goodies under my arm, making sure she wouldn’t see I was ‘borrowing’ them), and play dress up, pretending I was a beautiful princess. I can’t quite remember how old I was when I bought my first lipstick, but I remember being told off for buying ‘grown-up things’ with my pocket money. And of course the disapproval and forbidding made the lipstick all the more desirable.

I also remember that I couldn’t wait to grow up. It didn’t feel sufficient being a child and there were too many do’s and don’ts that I wanted to be free of. As I grew into adulthood I became a beautiful woman physically, but I wouldn’t give myself permission to just accept this and be OK with it.

The Mystery of the Migraine and Me

~ womeninlivingness

by Francene Cartaar, Australia

Have you ever felt you were going a little crazy? – well, I have. My world shook in September 2001 when I started experiencing migraines with such force and power that I felt like my head was going to split open. This was the beginning of a decade of searching for answers and cures. Each time I would ‘plant’ myself on the table of a doctor or health practitioner with the belief that they could ‘fix me’.

Then I had an appointment with Serge Benhayon at Universal Medicine about 3 years ago. As well as being eager and nervous at the same time, I must confess to going to the appointment with the hope of being ‘fixed’ and ‘told the answers’. Never before had I experienced a consultation like this. Continue reading “The Mystery of the Migraine and Me” →
