When I first heard the song “The Woman I am” by Michael Benhayon (Glorious Music), I felt very strongly that there should have been a nationwide, if not worldwide, Stop Everything press release.
Every piece of media out there that relates to women, either relates to their outer beauty, sexual attractiveness or accomplishments. “The Women I Am” is the first song I have come across that sees a woman for who she naturally is without requiring her to be or bring anything;
It is a song that encourages true self-confidence rather than lack of self-worth, comparison, competition and jealousy. This is a huge leap forward for humanity as a whole.
We have recognised how deeply damaging music videos, magazines, TV etc. can be for the youth and adults in our society. Just about every way a woman/girl turns in her day she is bombarded with images and ideas of who she needs to be as a woman.
The confidence of our young women (and women on the whole) is pretty low when we come from the understanding that they should be walking around freely expressing their power, playfulness, sexiness, cheekiness and many other qualities with complete confidence and respect for themselves and each other.
Instead, our young women are often talking quite nastily about each other, mainly to feel better about themselves. Everywhere they look tells them they are not enough. To survive at high school with friends, as a young woman, it appears the main way to do this is to fall within the accepted ‘norm’ and to quickly dismiss and ridicule anyone who may step outside of this. Grown women have not escaped this either.
I am no expert on music and the video music charts, but from time to time I sit down to see what my lovely daughter and her friends are watching and listening to. I am shocked beyond words every time by the totally graphic and sexualised material that is in front of me. It is basically telling all women that they are either a ‘sex kitten’ or that they have very little worth in our society or to men.
Sexiness is not a sexual thing – the truth is, sexiness is just one of the many playful and cheeky aspects that make up the sacredness of women.
Then I saw the clip of the song, “The Woman I Am” on YouTube. Wow, the truth and beauty it reflects to all women to remind them of the glory they naturally are, without having to do anything, is very power-full.
When I first heard this song, with lyrics and music by Michael Benhayon and sung by Miranda Benhayon, I knew it reflected the truth of who I am as a woman. It reminds me of the glory and graciousness that I am without having to do or bring anything; that simply by claiming the glory and graciousness I naturally emanate, I become a powerhouse of love. I may not always choose to live from this truth, yet it is so simple and natural for me to live this truth. I was born female, so all of this beauty is inside myself whether I am aware of it or not. All I had to do was to re-connect to the part inside me that knew all the words of the song to be true.
This song – “The Woman I Am” – is the call for all women and girls of all ages to stand in their power and walk as nothing less than the amazing sacred divine woman they are.
So why, when such a song is released, does our world not stop, re-evaluate what we have been producing up to this point and yell from the roof tops, “yes, this is what we want, this is how all women should feel from birth to death and beyond.”
So I am standing up applauding the amazing work of Michael Benhayon and Glorious Music, the new way forward they are offering women, girls and the music world. I have deeply healed much pain and anguish within me having listened to the lyrics and rhythms of “The Woman I Am” and felt how these words and rhythms resonate within me. I feel and know the truth they carry which I now know I carry within me, as all women do. As women we all have the ability to bring the same beauty and power inspired by our own individual flavor: we all naturally bring so much, just by being ourselves in all our glory.
Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine have a deep respect for all women and the sacredness they are. I am forever appreciative of the courage and beauty they offer in standing for truth.

There is definitely so much more to women than how we portray them as physical bodies or achievements and skills, we have a depth in our qualities that is truly beautiful, including our grace, sass, warmth and care, delicateness and tenderness, wisdom, love, and cuteness… the list could go on and on. Those inner qualities when they are known, appreciated and expressed by women truly hold and heal this world. That is so worth singing about and celebrating as it’s the truth of who we all are.
What I have found with Glorious music is that it leaves you alone it doesn’t invade our bodies as most music does, sometimes we hear music and can reject it out of hand because it is so grating to our ears and body. But there is a lot of music that if we do not discern enters the body and we can feel very emotional, sad or angry without fully understanding what it occurring.
When music confirms our true beauty like this heaven rejoices.
Feeling glorious and gorgeous comes naturally when we start to deeply look after and care for ourselves.
Like many amazing and true things the world has not been ready to really embrace what this song means, yet the time will come when as a humanity we will feel more open to the majesty, divinity and sacredness this song offers us all to reconnect to.
“Sexiness is not a sexual thing – the truth is, sexiness is just one of the many playful and cheeky aspects that make up the sacredness of women.” When society finally gets this we will see a shift towards a much loving, gentle and honouring way together.
It’s really freeing feeling the difference between this kind of music and the music that is currently all around. It makes me realise that there is another way to feel and express myself (which is my own and truly way) and this in itself is massive, as it is an invitation to just honour and BE myself as I am . How beautiful is that..
The world is obviously not ready for such positivity, love and joy in one track – as this would have been surely a number one track, no the world is not ready just yet, but it will be oneday, people are waking up to the fact that love can lead the way.
” “The Women I Am” is the first song I have come across that sees a woman for who she naturally is without requiring her to be or bring anything;” A song that invites all women to appreciate the innate beauty of who they are.
For centuries the innate beauty of women (and equally so the innate tenderness of men!) has been subjugated and crushed. Is it possible that this one song is able to turn the tide, the small pebble that starts an avalanche. If so the tide has turned and there are many incidents of these changes that allows women to reclaim their innate beauty and walk in the true sacredness they are.’
As a man I also relate to everything you have shared Toni, as this song crosses boundaries and connects us all to claiming our True Power.
Toni, this feels key; ‘ It reminds me of the glory and graciousness that I am without having to do or bring anything.’ So often we are told we need to look a certain way and act a certain way, rather than simply accepting ourselves as we are and knowing our own beauty and loveliness.
A powerful song that inspires me to live and love the woman I am.
Without Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine leading the way in what it actually means to live the sacredness of a woman I don’t know where I would be today. It is through the reflection and support they offer I am inspired to live the true qualities of a woman in my day and make this my way.
Caroline I totally agree with you, before meeting Serge Benhayon I disliked being a woman I felt I had drawn the short straw and behaved and lived very much from male energy always in the motion of doing something and fighting life.
I now know so many women in my community of Universal Medicine Students who walk sacredness and delicateness and this holds a fascination because I know that I also have these innate qualities within me I just haven’t given myself permission to express what is there to be expressed. When we live in self protection we miss out on the grandness that life is constantly offering us.
I too have always loved this song and video clip, what a great message it brings to all women, ‘ I saw the clip of the song, “The Woman I Am” on YouTube. Wow, the truth and beauty it reflects to all women to remind them of the glory they naturally are, without having to do anything, is very power-full.’
That is very beautiful indeed.. We have lived in a way that is almost ignorant to the immense beauty we inside of us have.
Well well shared. I am in absolute owe to this: ‘Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine have a deep respect for all women and the sacredness they are. I am forever appreciative of the courage and beauty they offer in standing for truth.’ As we are so much love, we don’t even realize.
I agree that this beautifully affirming song sings to all women of the “glory and graciousness that we are without having to do or bring anything”. The drive ‘to do’ as a woman is so deeply ingrained that we rarely stop and simply allow ourselves to feel and to be the glorious being we naturally are. And I know for me that when I do stop and connect to who I truly am, it feels so very amazing; but I definitely don’t do this often enough.
The belief that we need to ‘bring something’ to someone or something ensures that we arrive empty handed because by it’s very reflection it means that we’re failing to recognise that our hands are naturally full of the gloriousness of us.
Ingrid, Then we need to make our life’s ambition to stop and connect to who we truly are because as you say when this is felt in our bodies there is nothing in this world that can be compared to it.
And let’s not hold back from expressing our beauty, playfulness sexiness and sacredness. ‘Sexiness is not a sexual thing – the truth is, sexiness is just one of the many playful and cheeky aspects that make up the sacredness of women.’
This song is truly refreshing, I am so fed up with music that influences our young in such a negative and imposing way.
Thank God there are artists out there who bring out that respect, that classiness and that self honour – Bring it on.
I love what you shared Toni and viewing the video after so much time was a real treat – so gorgeous to hear and watch the beauty, joy, power and strength that emanates from real women deeply loving who they truly are, and not being afraid to show it.
