I woke this morning feeling amazing. There was nothing in the way of this feeling, so I lay there and enjoyed it. The feeling welled up from deep in my heart and filled my being. It flowed up and down my spine and I felt it cracking and popping into place. It flowed down my arms and I felt them relaxing and releasing. My fingers tingled and my palms grew fiery. It flowed down my legs to my feet and out my soles. It filled my head, which felt much lovelier than what usually fills it.
I held my sleeping partner, and I felt the same amazingness in him. As I lay there feeling how amazing he was, my amazingness grew and our two hearts beat as one.
Everything felt amazing, except the mosquito, which started buzzing around our heads. I then had a choice – to focus on this or to continue to allow myself to feel amazing. I chose me, which was amazing.
The feeling grew, and I felt so amazing that I wanted to get up and share it with the world. As I moved, the feeling flowed through my body. Every move I made was a confirmation and celebration of that feeling.
As I sit here watching and listening and feeling the day dawn, I can feel that same feeling in everything… in everyone… that amazing grace, that love, that we all are.
The Truth about Universal Medicine 
Choosing you and the grace that you were so gorgeously wrapped in, over a mosquito was probably an easy choice as who would want such an amazing moment in time to be spoiled by an annoying little insect. A great reminder of the power of choice; that it would not have been the mosquito who spoiled the magic, it would have been you allowing it to do so.
Those darn pesky mosquitoes cannot even touch the beauty and power that is grace!
What a celebration of who we are! What a way to start a day! I love this and the amazing-ness you feel is contagious so thanks for sharing Anne.
Tinglings up in my legs and out from my fingertips, as I read your sharing. Feeling my amazingness too. That is what we can choose, even when there might be mosquitos around. Life is not about squashing all possible mosquitos and creating a mosquito free cocoon where I never get disturbed or irritated, but it is about choosing to come back to the amazingness that is already here.
I love reading this blog as I find it such an inspirational reminder that it is always a choice as to what and where we choose to put our focus.
However terrible the world is around us, however sick our body and mind may feel within us is this amazingness that can never extinguished, it can only be ‘cloaked’.
I’d bet that the mozzie soon went away as it couldn’t have come near such amazingness as it simply wasn’t a vibrational match.
I often feel a beautiful connection to myself when I first wake up and stay in bed longer than I need to because I haven’t quite worked out how to continue this connection to myself throughout the day. You remind me that our level of connection is a constant choice.
The reference to the mosquito is a superb illustration that we constantly have the choice to either choose to focus on the slightest dis-harmony, however small it is, rather than the magnificence of the whole.
How easily we can get side tracked away from the grandness and it’s magnificence by such a minuscule blip.
Having lived so long with self-loathing it is now amazing to appreciate the amazingness that I, we and the world are.
I love this. Pure and simple appreciation and acceptance which allowed the grace and joy to expand within.
A superb reminder how insignificantly small any disturbance is in this world compared to the beauty and grace we are.
Classic example of the daily choice to either focus on the tiniest detail of imperfection and see ourselves and our reality as purely that inspite of the greater whole of perfection we are. Or focus on our whole and that grandness which puts the little issues in life a true perspective of being much much smaller than who we truly are.
Holy Moly what a blog of appreciation to start my day. If I choose I can focus on that in my body and yes, how could I possibly keep that just for me. What I am appreciating though is how it needed to be in you first, that there were distractions but you already felt the flow and deliciousness in your body so you chose that instead of the distraction. I will hold that with me as I go about today.
This is a beautiful blog offering an insight into the fact that we always have a choice – to surrender and appreciate the flow of love in and through our being or to be distracted by something, even as small as a mosquito which can leave us feeling irritated or annoyed in less than a nano second.
Thank you Anne, I felt amazing this morning too but I let an event in the day bring me down and it is only just now reading your blog that I can feel my body really letting go and surrendering and reconnecting to that power and joy that I felt this morning.
Absolutely beautiful Anne, as you say such confirmation impulses us to share it with everyone. How natural then is it for us to support each other, requiring no effort at all but every part of our being is willing…
We have this amazing grace within us all and there is a tendency to choose the mosquito buzzing around us instead. It is in everything we are, I know which I would prefer to focus on.
It is amazing when we feel the true grace we are within us and move with that grace and connection, because others notice that grace and the reflection is not only seen but deeply felt too.
Yesterday I passed not one but two removals trucks with ‘Grace’ written all over them, the name of the company. And today this exquisite blog. There are no accidents. Time to get moving with grace!
I love how scrumptiously simple this is. A moment of truth that reveals far more than many realise.
Love how personal this feeling was, I’ve seen many things written about how when looking at something how beautiful and or amazing it is, a building, a sunset, a landscape, an animal etc and yet few seem to be about a feeling for ourselves first. This one builds from within clearly and then would go out to everything else from there which is a spin on how it has been. I love the origins of this article and brings things back to a simple key, life is about how you are with yourself first and then that feeling you hold is then there for all else.
Living in amazing grace even when life can challenge us is key to deepening our stillness and love within – thank you Anne.
I love your humour Anne and I love this blog . . . as I was reading it I could feel the amazingness spread through my body also! Thank you.
When I read your blog, it also has me considering how considerably low our standards are and how often we accept waking up feeling so much less than magnificent.
“that amazing grace, that love, that we all are.” Appreciation of the grandness of the true love that we are that puts the buzzing interferences of life into perspective.
What if our whole lives are full of this amazing grace, and the only you could say negative part or problem was as small as the moskito…. It makes no sense to give any power to something so small when we are surrounded by such grandness.
I have come to see so clearly that when I choose me, and not allow myself to be distracted from the truth I am feeling in any given moment, that magic happens; magic that these days is nothing extraordinary but simply showing me how magical life can always be if we choose to live our truth.
Absolutely – magic happens when you choose the truth.
That is a cute and classic story; the fact that you were able to stay with the grace and joy you felt rather than being taken by the mozzy and go into the annoyance is actually a lot harder than one might think, especially when they are buzzing in your ear.
That’s very cool Anne. I love the choice to stay with you. I know I would have found that buzzing test somewhat infuriating….but I most certainly would have clocked it was a test and that I was then presented with a choice.
How empowering it is to be aware of the vibration that we have chosen to move us through our day, as it is then this quality that we confirm and magnify through all that we do.
Yes mosquitoes are everywhere; it is our choice to listen to them or not – how wonderfully amazing it is to have such a choice!
Gosh that was beautiful to read, thank you Anne. The mosquito was such a great analogy for many life situations, from thoughts to problems and issues – we can focus all of our attention on these things or stay with the feeling of how amazing we truly are and deal with life from that place. Amazing grace indeed.
I love the feeling of being held by another and in that moment the period of grace and surrender- the beauty of coming together in a way that is full of love.
Amazing Grace!
To allow ourselves to feel amazing one thing but to sustain it and build on its grace requires appreciation. There is not nearly enough appreciation in the world of today and this is a fact we all need to first ponder on why and then correct it.
Touch me in every inch of my being. The choice to stay with our amazingness is one of great self love.
A simple, wise and oh so powerful sharing thank you Anne; summed up in what you have expressed here;
“in everyone… that amazing grace, that love, that we all are”.
I was watching a tv commercial this morning and it showed everyone walking around with their heads down totally disconnected from life and from each other. Then one girl decides to bring a dining table and eat dinner in her apartment block hallway. People walk by and start to join her and everyone starts to connect again.
It shows that this is actually our innate nature and we have been moving away from this and there is a craving in many to come back to this truth- some just not so sure if it is safe and if others will meet them here if they do.
Even though I might be repeating you but that sounds really amazing!
What I love about this article is that you took the time to write down and appreciate what you’ve felt, to make a claim and share to the world what you’ve felt. And knowing that even when distraction comes by you have a choice to stay with it. Thank you.
This is a simple and beautiful reminder that in each moment we always have a choice, it was great that you didn’t let yourself get distracted by the mosquito and remained with your stillness and amazingness instead.
The mosquitos of life – everything that distracts us from being who we are, all the noises and pictures, expectations, demands, deadlines, ideals and beliefs, and the next and the next and the next thing to do… it all tends to take us away from the stillness within. Hence we need to turn towards our inner to find what we miss and then learn to live from that inner in a world run by everything outside of us.
Amazing grace. I laughed when the mosquito arrived, just to check whether the stillness and beauty you were connecting with, could be disrupted. I love the reflections we are given in life.
Just reading your blog Anne, I can feel the same amazingness flowing throughout my whole body, thank you for this amazing reflection coming through your writing.
Could it be that life is this simple? The choice between the amazingness of our true beingness and the distractions of this world? The more I choose to see and know the amazingness in myself and through this in everyone else, the more simple joyfulness I experience in life – no matter what the mosquitoes are doing around us all.
Oh, how often I let a ‘little mosquito’ ruin my feeling amazing! You remind me it is my choice, and a possibility that a mosquito can be a part of the amazingness we all are.
I wonder if that amazing grace would be naturally there in everyone if we wouldn´t lose ourselves in reaction to all the ‘mosquitos’ that make life the seeming struggle we experience every day.
Exactly Alex, as I was reading Anne’s blog with this simple and clear reflection a smile came to my face. We actually can choose to be distracted by the ‘mosquitoes’ in life, or we can stay connected and with the ‘amazing grace’ that we are.
Wow feeling amazing grace – before you even make your first move – what an amazing way to start your day.
What an utterly delicious way to begin another day, and as it was for you Anne, it is also possible for each and every one of us to connect to this same “amazing grace”.
Thank you Anne for sharing your amazingness which is forever expanding the moment we appreciate and confirm the feeling in our body. With reading your blog my body could let go of some tension build up from the day, and just be….amazing.
When I move in grace, speak with grace and see the world in grace it feels like heaven on earth.
Thank you Anne for blessing us with your ‘Amazing Grace’ as I was reading your piece I was feeling the same grace in my own body . . . a GREAT way to start the day! Love you humour . . .hey the mosquito was not worth a look in on how this feels!
Anne – I love what you shared here about the mosquito – how you heard it buzzing round your ear (hands down one of the most annoying things ever) but in that moment you didn’t get caught up – you stayed with how you were feeling. You chose not to be effected by the outside. That is very cool and shows we always have a choice and it is our choice to make the external more important than what is felt in our bodies.
What a way to wake up. Thank you for sharing your experience Anne, the truth you have connected to is profound.
I woke up today not feeling at all amazing. Reading this I can now feel the fragility I have been trying to cover up with grumpiness, is right here, tender, raw and sensitive. And the amazing thing is nothing bad has happened just because I am being honest with myself and letting myself feel it. The sky hasn’t fallen on my head, in fact I am now feeling more myself again with an inkling of the amazingness that I know deep down I really am.
It is truly divine is when we realise that when the sun rises everyday we always have the option of embracing the new day with an openness and honesty that builds on the lessons we have learned the previous day and that by living in this way (even when the lessons are challenging and uncomfortable) it allows us to embrace our potential to evolve and feel an amazing grace and ever expanding joy that grows with every passing day.
Beautiful Anne, it’s so true, we do all have that same amazing grace within, we just need a gentle reminder that it lies within us all equally.
Once a mosquito starts buzzing in my year, I can’t rest until it is gone and by gone, I mean dead, amazing that you were able to stay in bed and enjoy the grace between you and your partner not go on a mad ninja mosquito mission.
And how beautifully confirming and a point for appreciating to know that you woke feeling amazing due to the choices you made the day before and the day before that….. It’s not something we just suddenly wake up with. It takes commitment to living a loving life and then the rewards are exquisitely bountiful as you share here.
An absolute blessing to share. It is incredibly healing to know and deeply feel what is possible to choose and live in any moment.
Beautiful Anne – this evening I felt the power of choice, I chose joy and the warmth of this flooded my body. We can choose to live this everyday – it is up to us.
“As I sit here watching and listening and feeling the day dawn, I can feel that same feeling in everything… in everyone… that amazing grace, that love, that we all are.” Beautiful Anne. So often we focus on the things that aren’t right – the mosquitoes – but staying with your amazingness melted enabled that feeling to grow.
Anne I loved that you chose to stay with your own amazingness, and how that feeling expanded. Connecting to our inner selves, is a choice we have at every moment, and when we do we are definitely with grace.
Thank you Anne your choice to stay with the feeling of amazingness instead of the distraction of the mosquito is a great way to live in the world – staying connected to ourselves allows us to flow beautifully in the world without reacting to things around us.
Yes that is the question. . . Do I focus on those little things that are not quite right in my life or do I focus on how amazing I am and deeply appreciating and celebrating that?
great question Lieke. I feel that this is the beginnings of where our issues come from. Giving power to what is outside instead of honouring and claiming in full what we know to be true within
Yes true grace comes only from ‘honouring and claiming in full what we know to be true within.’
The choice to stay feeling the amazingness and not be distracted by the incessant buzz of the mosquito – how true of our choices in life.
Thank you so much Anne – how gorgeous that you shared this with us all – Not too long ago I was feeling particularly amazing but something happened and I chose to not share that amazingness of me with another – I remember fully choosing not to share it – this was a huge lesson for me because I soon didn’t feel amazing anymore – I could really feel that the Love that we all are is not for self, sharing it keeps it full and warm inside us all.
I love the way you stayed with what you were feeling Anne, to feel it then expand through your whole body and then too, for it to expand even further so that you could feel within your partner and on and out into your whole surroundings, this amazing grace. This beautiful grace that is there within all of us, whether we choose to be aware and accept it or not is another matter.
Your celebration and appreciation of yourself, and then your partner, is music to my ears Anne – when we surrender to the amazingness that we are, we can truly see what is around us too – and how much love is in the world.
“In that movement I didn’t have to move or go anywhere, I was already sharing love and joy with the world by simply allowing myself to deeply connect”. I am learning this also Chan. I can remember feeling as a child I had to move and get everyone else to feel this way. Now I simply connect and in that joy another can choose, I don’t need to do anything but absolutely enjoy being.
To read your exquisite sharing again is so lovely. That feeling so tender and uplifting in the gentlest way, one is almost afraid to lose it. Thank you Anne.
‘The feeling grew, and I felt so amazing that I wanted to get up and share it with the world.’- Beautifully expressed Anne the joy of sharing your amazingness with the world.
Ohhh Anne, so exquisite to feel what you shared. I love those moments of completeness. I look forward to having many, many more in my life. Yum.
Beautiful, Anne. A great reminder that we’re all equal in amazingness but just choose to let other distractions take our attention away from the fact and the feeling.
It’s funny as I read this blog I felt oh don’t feel that way, bit of comparison coming in there, then I laughed when I read this line “Everything felt amazing, except the mosquito, which started buzzing around our heads.” I realised my thoughts are exactly the same as this mosquito – as soon as I did – sorry what thoughts? I felt me again. Isn’t it amazing, I know I do this, that I can become so focused or self absorbed with one tiny little thought that it can seen like everything, when in reality it’s not even that big, if in fact anything at all.
The great thing about Universal Medicine is that I learned a way of being with myself that allows me to connect to this amazingly graceful state, even on days when I don’t wake up feeling amazing. I might not always choose to use these tools, but they are there and they work as nothing else that I have learnt and tried.
Enjoyable read, and a lovely reminder of the potential each and every human being has.
Thank you for sharing the ‘amazing’ feeling of ‘amazingness’ through your words Anne. We are all amazing and, in the grace of that, we know we are all connected, all one. Truly Amazing!
Wow, what a beautiful blog. The feeling you shared feels so familiar, reminding me that I too can choose to connect to this ‘amazing grace’. Thank you Anne for sharing this with us it feels so amazing to read and truly inspiring.
Thank you, Anne, what a gorgeous reminder of what is always there for us to live at any moment. It felt amazing reading it and I have a little smile and warm inner glow as I write this.
Anne I could feel my body tingling all over with every syllable expressed here. Thank you for sharing your amazingly graceful expression.
An exquisite sharing… and such a pleasure to read and be reminded of the power and amazingness that we can all have when we choose ourselves.
Anne although what you have described is indeed amazing it also felt quite normal somehow, Not normal as in it’s something that I have felt but I got the impression that one day what you experienced will be an everyday occurrence for us all.
Wouldn’t it be great if that was the norm for everyone, everyday.
Yum! I love the simplicity of our amazingness you have shared Anne.
I absolutely loved reading this! It reminds me that we always have a choice in every moment to stay with ourselves or enjoin in that which is outside of ourselves.
This is just so beautiful to read and feel Anne, thank you for sharing your amazingness 🙂
Incredibly beautiful, Anne! That’s proving a human body is filled with heavenly light and the love and consciousness of the all. Marvelous!*
A great choice. Anne, to stay with your amazingness and don’t fall for the disturbance.
Thank you Anne for sharing your amazingness.
Such a beautiful commitment to you Anne and what an absolutely glorious way to be. Thank you.
Beautiful blog Anne, and a great reminder of the amazing love we can all connect to if we choose to.
Amazing Anne.
Amazing Grace is what I feel in your words. I love the simplicity and the all encompassing vastness in this simplicity. It is the absolute all.
Wow now that is some magical way to wake up. Imagine that as an advert for nothing other than breathing your own breath and connecting to the deep love inside! I want some of that.
Gorgeous Anne. Thank you for sharing this – and for staying with you despite the buzzing mosquito!
Thank you Anne for sharing your amazing feeling of love with us all. We all have this love inside and it is just a choice to feel it and live it every day.
Thank you Anne, reading your blog again is a beautiful opportunity and reminder of that amazingness that is within me, and when I connect to that I can feel how everything and everyone else around me holds that quality equally so.
Anne, this is as if you were describing how true surrender feels in the body. I understand now the true meaning of it.
Thank you Anne for sharing with us that moment in your life – it’s as though I was there with you. Wouldn’t it be great if everyone choose to feel the way you did on that day, every day – could you image what the world would be like then.
What a delightful read Anne. What a way to start the day!
I felt some of this amazingness this morning and the wonderful thing about it, is I know how to do it again – it started, when I began making awesome choices for myself about a week ago.
What you have expressed Anne feels so beautiful and in harmony.
This is the way to wake up!!
Thank you for sharing the amazing grace that is being you and how this is available to all if they so choose. Beautifully inspirational.
Thank you for writing this, Anne. Your words reverberate in my body and it is amazing to feel.
A beautiful article Anne that shares the fact that by embracing our own innate stillness and appreciating it, we can all connect to an amazing grace that not only fills us, but has the potential to continue to expand if we so choose.
I love the message, feeling the love within and the mosquito buzzing around your head. We do have choice every moment, every day; do we hold our connection to the deep love within or do we react to what is happening around us? Thank you.
Very beautiful Anne, thanks for sharing this amazing feeling of being amazing. And I love how you share that it is in everyone, and not something to hide!
An exquisite way to wake up Anne, and truly honoured by the grace you gave yourself to hold and enjoy the feeling above anything else.
A great present for me to bring to the day from reading the joy in this blog.
Beautiful Anne. It is a choice we are free to make in every moment of everyday to be and feel, or to allow ourselves to be distracted and taken out of that, to separate. A very special and timely reminder.
As I sit here and listen to the early birds singing their song and the morning mist is lifting I too feel that amazingness (within and around me) – feeling the love of what you have shared with us all thank you Anne.
The sheer fact you’re expressing this: is amazing. Thank you Anne.
Thank you Anne and Oliver, I agree, amazingness is absolutely amazing in its ability to grow from our previous amazing choice.
Amazing Anne – your grace hit me in the middle of my heart . . .
Beautiful and inspiring to read Anne. Thank you for sharing your love.
Beautiful inspiring blog, I felt how amazing the choice you made to stay with you, no matter what, and the power and divinity of that.
And as I ponder more deeply, I feel what it would be like for me to make that choice all the time. Then I imagine a world full of people all choosing to be with their true selves all of the time. And the words that come to me are:
‘Glory be to God- we are your living son-ship here on earth’
Thank you Anne.
Anne, I was drawn to re-read this deliciously sweet blog again. I feel inspired, to take into my day, the love that I am, and the knowingness that this love will be within, all that I will encounter.
Amazing to feel the beauty of you truly expressed here Anne – a guiding light in sharing what we all have the potential to feel and be with in each and every day.
What a glorious confirmation of how beauty-full we all truly are when we choose to allow ourselves to feel our love within. Thank you Anne for this delicious reflection.
What a beautiful article to read. A real treat for the day for me. Thank you Anne.
A beautiful sharing of you and your amazingness – thank you Anne.
Simply beautiful Anne it gave me a feeling of complete love and the choice I have to stay with it.
Beautiful Anne, your post shows that when we move with what we feel, we amplify that feeling and get more of the same. I can feel your amazingness and joy of this within your words.
That really IS amazing Anne. Choosing to stay with you over all else.
I could definitely feel the amazing grace of what you were feeling Anne.
Me too Jinya, it is amazing…. and really lovely.
Your amazing, I am amazing, we all are amazing, thank you for reminding us Anne, your amazing!
Magnificent Anne! Beautiful to express it with the authority of someone that truly knows how it is because you have lived it. Otherwise you would not have been able to write it.
Wow, this is so beautiful :o)
I felt the joy and playfulness as I was reading this blog. It was infectious and there felt to be no pride or bragging in this sharing, just an innocent expression of a truth.
An amazing sharing Anne. I love it. I agree with Joseph Barker – “its like the poetry of the soul”. It too is so filled with Love.
Wow Anne, so simple so beautiful. Why don’t we always write, with feeling this way? Its delightful to read and appreciate. Its like the poetry of the soul.
