I am that, I am… I slowly awake once more, I await another day.
Outside is dark and windy and I can feel the cold air of the beginning of winter on my face. Thoughts start to invade my space, bringing an anxiousness of what lies ahead; I know this all too well. In this knowing comes a surrender, an awareness – not to the invasive thoughts but to a stillness.
I feel a beautiful supportive energising state – an allowing, an openness for the day and all it offers to come to me. The day ceases to be a chore; it is not a battle, hard work, a constant trying to control what’s next, a game of chess, to achieve and be recognised for what I have done.
The day is now a blessing; a bringer of awareness and the feeling of being loved.
In that love there is a call that I hear, feel and see from the One that Loves: it is the Father of all, my Father, God, that ignites the very same in me, that reaches out from my innermost, through my body and meets all there is, God, in the joy of meeting more of me and knowing I am that, I am.
On moving my body full of love, and walking in the loving body of God, is my rhythm that constellates with all there is. Through my body I connect: I touch the physical world, and in that warmth I am there in full expression, knowing I am that, I am a living Son of God.
The Truth about Universal Medicine 
I love how you appreciate and feel the fullness of the day even just as it begins. So many take the day for granted and see the day as a chore let alone feel a fullness before it begins.
I really love how your words have brought a stop moment for me, slowing everything down, coming to a moment of stillness, to find myself resonating – I am that, I am. Thank you.
Paul your expression is really beautiful to read, a moment of your reflection of what it is to live with God and the love and purpose in each day as you return to your soul.
Truly beautiful, thank you Paul. On reading I feel expansive and warm from within.
Wow. It’s amazing to see that a choice to connect to who we are unlocks such beauty and wisdom.
Thank you, Paul, you have described beautifully how exquisite it is to walk as the Son of God in this human body of ours.
At the dawn of my day your beautiful words, Paul, are the most divine gift, a true blessing. I will walk with them today knowing that I am never alone and that I am always enough when I live and walk with the absolute knowing that God walks with me with every step that I take.
And for me at the end of my day it is a confirmation and a blessing with which to take myself to bed
Deeply beautiful Paul, you capture the elegance of our being in the body of us in the body of God.
“Through my body I connect: I touch the physical world, and in that warmth I am there in full expression, knowing I am that, I am a living Son of God.” A glorious confirmation from one son of god to another thank you Paul. truly awesome indeed.
You express it in different words but a similar state I am feeling and clocked in appreciation today and many other days, the Deep Support felt in the amazing constellation of Life and Love, expanding what I thought was my world but now huger as the illusion is breaking down more.
Thanks Paul so simple yet so profound.
Thank you Paul. Living connected to God comes from very a very practical foundation, staying connected to a gentleness in the breath, being in connection to and with the body, observing when a disturbance may happen from thinking or emotion, and moving with the love we are reconnecting back to. There are no lengthy meditations, long texts to read, outer authorities or unusual practices – just simple, practical, everyday methods to be with God. God is very accessible, not hard to find.
The simplicity, stillness and power of this blog is felt deeply in my body. How exquisite yet humbling, to read these words – a celebration and appreciation on the Path of Return to live the truth of BEING who we are as a Son of God. Thank you Paul.
Your blog reminds me that perhaps there are infinite possibilities every single day, and if we give life it’s true purpose we don’t know what is possible.
I had to read this again, there is something so sacred within this blog and as some already have described it – even as a prayer.
I loved reading this ‘The day ceases to be a chore; it is not a battle, hard work, a constant trying to control what’s next, a game of chess, to achieve and be recognised for what I have done’ – is where I was at.
But now I am more here ‘The day is now a blessing; a bringer of awareness and the feeling of being loved’.
This is beautiful, I needed to read this today to bring me back to who I am – thank you Paul
To feel and experience the Divinity of “I am that, I am” is beyond words.
… but you managed to use words to express and bring through that which is beyond word 🙂
A living prayer that confirms the truth that we are, very beautiful Paul.
“knowing I am that, I am a living Son of God.” Divine simplicity.
So beautiful to come back to this Paul, a reminder of the love that I am, we all are.
Very beautiful reminder: I can’t wait to get up another morning to love and be loved.
A beautiful reminder Paul of the immense love and grandness we are all truly from.
So beautiful, Paul. We are that, we are. All of it, and more.
” I am that, I am ” This is true of all of us and so beautifully expressed , in the action of livingness .
Thank you Paul .
Stunning Paul, I revisit this every few months and am equally touched each time in the reminder of the profound beauty of where we come from and who we are. Thank you.
Agreed Jenny. This expression is for all humanity equally and it is profoundly beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful Paul. I especially resonated with; “The day is now a blessing; a bringer of awareness and the feeling of being loved.” What an openness and opportunity this brings to go into your day knowing if you allow all there ‘is’ to be loved.
Thank you Paul for a truly beautiful sharing, as I read your words I feel a beautiful surrender to the warmth of my own divine love within my body.
I long to feel this but if I am honest, I am in the struggle maybe not as much as the next person, I love work, I love home, I love people, nothing is a chore but I am in a constant trying, to keep up, to make sure I don’t miss anything, like juggling many balls but in a fear that if I pause just for a moment, I will drop them all. In this act, how much am I really loving? How much am I really reflecting? I certainly don’t think this is what God had planned for his children. So I read this beautiful blog still feeling at a distance to what you offer but I have had glimpses of this in my life just still unable to bring them into a daily way of living.
A moment of choice so beautifully shared and claimed. Everything is here already, in full, to be appreciated. And so powerful is the awareness that it is a choice, our choice. Great to observe anxiousness is never about this very moment.
So beautiful to re read this Paul and to ponder on one of the first sentences; ‘Thoughts start to invade my space, bringing an anxiousness of what lies ahead; I know this all too well. In this knowing comes a surrender, an awareness – not to the invasive thoughts but to a stillness.’ There is a stop in this to not allow the non supportive thoughts to run through your body but to choose what we know is true, a connected body in stillness.
What an absolute gem Paul, so beautifully expressed and expansively delivered. A blessing to read – thank you.
The truth and purity of our indelible Divinity, known and lived. Thank-you Paul.
When you live like this it pulls you out of your personal issues and makes you consider the more.
A great wisdom you share here Paul, to know and feel how great we truly are without allowing ourselves to shrink away from the truth.
Reading and speaking these words myself brings surrender to the body and reminds us all of who we truly are and that this fire within us can never be extinguished.
Very wise words indeed. All too often in the search for enlightenment or spiritual aspiration, is based on a fervour that has us always seeking something more – something tantalising, vast, and larger than life. The truth however cannot ever be found from such a foundation, but rather can only be found through surrender and acceptance. And so, the first part of “I am” refers to the revelation of the divinity found within, whilst the “that” refers to the confirmation of what you have felt, whilst the last “I am” simply refers to the complete surrender to the fact that that is all I need to be, and that is everything.
It is a really a blessing to me to read this blog, Paul. The stillness you describe I do know so well, as it carries the seed of god and when we grow this stillness in our awareness and through our movements, we do feel that we are part of a grander whole and belong to, and are part of God, and can confirm yes, “I am that, I am.”
I find that some days I live with a knowing that I am that and that I have a deep connection within and these days life does not affect me as I have understanding in each moment and other days when I lose this connection I am at the mercy of life, I am affected by the day and the moments within it and life becomes dull and monotonous. Such a different choice.
Beautiful Paul. The power of surrender in a moment is all that is needed to change the ill momentum that is running the day. It is the power of surrender that I can often ignore and override but in its simplicity is absolute magic as it has the strength to relinquish emotions and ill thoughts to the absolute love that I am.
What you describe here Paul is such a contrast to dragging ourselves out of bed, dreading or not having the energy for what the day brings, and reaching for the kickstart of the coffee. We miss out on so much without the connection to God.
Thank you Paul, this felt so lovely and expansive in my body today and reminded me that those first few moments when we awake and what we do first thing counts for a lot. And also that if I feel tension I can always come back to letting my body surrender and allow for this expansion any time.
This is beautiful Paul ‘On moving my body full of love, and walking in the loving body of God, is my rhythm that constellates with all there is.’ Knowing this and choosing to live this everyday reminds us of how glorious we truly are.
Love to read this blog today Paul and in particular this line: ‘The day is now a blessing; a bringer of awareness and the feeling of being loved’. This feels a gorgeous reflection and a confirmation of where I am now and how simple my life has become because whatever I need just flows and comes my way without effort or trying and pushing ( my old way). Life is no longer about me, me, me….. life is about service and responsibility and seeing the bigger picture. I am deeply held and loved as we all are – so gorgeous to feel this!
The only thing I can do after reading this blog is surrender and feel how my body responds immediately with letting go of a tension I was holding in my shoulders and feeling space in my breath spreading through my entire body embracing me.
Thank you Paul for a truly beautiful blog, as I read your words I feel a warmth glowing from within and a joy in my heart. “Through my body I connect: I touch the physical world, and in that warmth I am there in full expression, knowing I am that, I am a living Son of God.”
“In this knowing comes a surrender, an awareness – not to the invasive thoughts but to a stillness.”
Each moment we have a choice to surrender to stillness or to indulge in anxiousness etc. and the thoughts that come with that. We are often unaware of this choice, but we are making it nevertheless. So awareness, as is stated here, is a key factor in making different choices.
Thank you Paul for this prayer for all time, one that reminds us of who we are and why we are here together, so we can re-ignite our light within and live our Divinity, as we have been sent to.
Coming back once again to these beautiful words of yours Paul feels like returning to the company of an old and dear friend. As I read I feel my breathing slow down, a delicate expansion throughout my body and a warmth in my heart. And from this place “comes a surrender, an awareness – not to the invasive thoughts but to a stillness”, and finally a whole body sigh of joy
Reading this, I could feel myself expand to all that I am. Thank you Paul.
True inspiration and for all to know it is; ‘Through my body I connect: I touch the physical world, and in that warmth I am there in full expression, knowing I am that, I am a living Son of God.’
Disposing of any thought, action or movement that is not from our very essence allows greater space for our body to be filled with all that we divinely are.
Simply beautiful Paul thank you… and what a blessing to feel the truth in your words as I read them!
“The day is now a blessing; a bringer of awareness and the feeling of being loved.” Ahhhhh this feels so right and so Divine.
Paul, thankyou for this morning prayer. It is only through appreciating who we are that we can clearly see and feel who exactly we are not. Thus we need not stand in the shadows when the light burns bright within.
Coming back to your most beautiful words this morning Paul was a most welcomed choice, and the tears that have flowed while reading them are tears of joy and a confirmation of all that I am, and the deep knowing that I am never alone. And today I take with me the fact that I have a choice to say no “to the invasive thoughts” and yes “to a stillness.” and to bring that stillness to every single movement I make.
I am, that I am. So very true – I feel my whole body surrender to the fact – no effort, no trying just simply being me. My struggle with life has always been trying to be someone for everyone else, never feeling I am good enough. The words I am, that I am takes all that away and allows me to be.
“Through my body I connect: I touch the physical world, and in that warmth I am there in full expression, knowing I am that, I am a living Son of God.” Beautiful to read this morning – thankyou Paul. When I stop trying and allow, an openness and flow comes into my day. My choice – am I connected or not?
This is a great reminder of the choice we have in every moment to turn the switch off from the thoughts that are always there trying to invade our space with the struggle of life and the anxiety of what is to come, and switch on our connection to the grace and stillness that is God given and always accessible within.
Paul, it’s such a great way of looking at seeing life that each day is an opportunity to live and feel anew the love we are. We can choose to be that which we are or not, but regardless the choice is always there. Pure poetry.
It is rare to read of someone not finding life a battle of sorts and instead wake in a state of openness to what the day ahead may bring, in rhythm with what constellates. This is how life should truly be. Stunning.
‘Thoughts start to invade my space, bringing an anxiousness of what lies ahead’ … I too am noticing how much thoughts invade my space to distract me from the stillness that is me, and that I have identified with these thoughts, claimed them as my own, at times enjoyed the distraction… however, as you so beautifully express, ‘Through my body I connect: I touch the physical world, and in that warmth I am there in full expression, knowing I am that, I am a living Son of God.’ Resting in the body is a wonderful place to be, at one with all.
Paul this blog is truly divine, and poetic too. Thank you.
Do we feel anxiousness and let it inform our movements or do we recognise this feeling of being out of sorts and instead surrender to something else, stop and allow ourselves to be aware of the stillness within, deeper than the anxiousness? Moving from the stillness offers us a day that opens up before us and we feel that we are the all that is, we are that. Thank you Paul for your beautiful sharing and reminder that this is the way it is every day if we choose it.
‘The day is now a blessing; a bringer of awareness and the feeling of being loved.’ And this all by the simple choice to recognise that life is about energy first and foremost.
What a divine message to begin another day with Paul: “The day is now a blessing; a bringer of awareness and the feeling of being loved.” I now choose to step lightly into my day with this body that has the presence of God in every particle, a God that is here to light a way that for so long seemed so dark, but now a way that glows with his love and is paved with grace; it is his way and it is my way, it is The Way.
‘The day is now a blessing; a bringer of awareness and the feeling of being loved.’ In allowing the possibility that the day comes to us with this awareness and love, we find there is nothing that we need to try and do. Driving and striving are not needed – we can simply just be and with the love and awareness the day brings, we will feel what is needed from us.
So beautiful Paul, incredibly poetic and statements of truth throughout. When we truly surrender to all that is inside of us and take that out into the day. With awareness, love and gentleness, the day can be full of all the qualities that we know are innately within.
Beautiful Paul, what you share is so true. When we surrender and remain open to learning from all the lessons that are constantly presented in our daily life this supports us to develop our potential, to be all that we are, and ‘the day ceases to be a chore; it is not a battle, hard work, a constant trying to control what’s next, a game of chess, to achieve and be recognised for what I have done’ but rather we begin to value the quality we can bring to all that we do.
This is really beautiful. There’s nothing more empowering and complete than feeling who we truly are and feeling our equality and holding in the body of God. I have to admit that this is not my moment by moment experience as I have spent so much of my life not living who I am and living not aligned and with God. However in any moment I choose, I can come back so simply and quickly so, it’s just a choice of ‘I am that, I am’.
So beautiful.”Through my body I connect: I touch the physical world, and in that warmth I am there in full expression, knowing I am that, I am a living Son of God.” How lovely we are able to connect to everyone through this physical body of ours and through our expression we are able to connect to others.
Knowing who we are changes everything – the way we walk, the way we make the smallest move and how we feel in any given moment, it’s absolutely worth the dedication it takes to get back to the true you.
“the feeling of being loved” and an equal feeling of being love “knowing I am that, I am a living Son of God.” And knowing that we all share this love and are all equal Sons of God.
This is very beautiful Paul – a divine expression that has effected a deep settlement within me and my body. Thank you. We already are all that we need to be as the living sons of God.
Thank you for that reminder of the connection. I am the love that I am and God is that love that ignites within me. So powerful and so beautiful.
‘On moving my body full of love, and walking in the loving body of God, is my rhythm that constellates with all there is.’ – Beautifully said Paul this blog is a lovely gift this morning of how glorious our connection to God truly is.
How can we not be a living Son of God? .. When you shared this : and walking in the loving body of God. It brought up a feeling of nature, a feeling of truth, besides all the meanings and interpretations that those simple words have got by our humanity. `We must understand back again – that our body is in truth our vehicle to connect God, and that it is more the distractions we had given to that word than the allowance and truth understanding of the true meaning. When we breath our own breath we will understand that love is our nature and that this love is so enormous that it is stemming from a whole – a whole that is God. This has nothing to do with any lie.
A blog filled with beauty and grace illuminating the stillness within, thank you Paul.
Paul to read your blog today more than two years later is a confirming that our wisdom is always there and that time is of no influence on what it offers us to feel or ponder on.
Just beautiful to read your wise words this morning and to connect to I am that, I am.
I love this blog Paul. Please write more. It captures your utmost love of God and the ALL that GOD is for us all.
Well said Joe, when we are ourselves we are quite simply everything to everyone.
I hadn’t actually considered it like this before but anxiety is actually characterised by ‘invasive thoughts’ to your mind that can be likened to a game of chess in which your king (or mind) is constantly under attack and you are being held to ransom by the fear and intimidation of check mate.
But surrendering to the stillness and awareness instead of getting caught up in the invasive thoughts that you speak of Paul is a choice we all have in every moment. Great blog.
Paul I am flooded with the love of God from reading your words. Just exquisite, thank you for sharing.
A beautiful expression, Paul, of the stillness that comes when we choose to surrender rather than take on anxiousness.
Beautifully said Paul, I love the simplicity and wisdom you have shared with us – I will enjoy taking this into my day with me.
Thank you Paul for this beautiful post about our deep innermost relationship to God and divinity on earth. “The day is now a blessing; a bringer of awareness and the feeling of being loved.”
Thank you Paul for this Heavenly reflection. The graceful power of our divinity is undeniable and immense when we connect to and realise that we truly all are the living Sons of God. There is nothing more beautiful than surrendering to the oneness of God as this is our true and natural way of being.
When we connect to our tender nature of our bodies, the stillness that lies within quenches the thirst of many lifetimes.
Beautifully said Thomas. Our stillness within is indeed timeless and eternal.
‘quenches the thirst of many lifetimes’, beautifully said Thomas, it describes the feeling so well.
…and we surrender to the heaven within. Beautiful Thomas.
The beauty and grace you write with Paul, having known all too well anxiousness, has an all encompassing surrender to it, thank you.
This says it all Paul … Glorious are we!
Very gorgeous and powerful Paul, in absolute confirmation and celebration of – ‘knowing I am that, I am a living Son of God.’
This is a gorgeous way to meet each day -in love rather than in an anxiousness of what the day may bring. God is always with us if we are open.
Thank you Paul.
What a shift to occur “In this knowing comes a surrender, an awareness – not to the invasive thoughts but to a stillness.” so often we choose anxiety and busy heads, but for you to share that there is another way is so powerful, I can feel a surrender within me as I read the blog, is is like a fresh, gentle breeze, feels great.
Paul Thank you. An absolute joy to read the simplicity and power in your words, and feel that my essence and my relationship with God is so beautifully confirmed.
So much is revealed through this short piece of writing Paul. The quality of stillness you were in to write this is palpable and brought me to a deeper quality in myself reading it.
Feeling the purpose of the new day, knowing that it is a gift, to live the love that I am and receive ever unfolding awareness through the choices I make which guide me and confirm this love. NOT about hard work, struggle, controlling what comes next or what other people do or constantly seeking someone to notice what I’ve done. A DEEP KNOWING that the profound love of God IS ME and emanates from me, from my body when I am all there. That life constellates in perfect rhythm when lived from this knowing.
When we surrender to the tenderness and vulnerability and love that we all naturally are, life unfolds with a new-found sense of purpose and direction.
In truth it is not new but a connection that we all know and felt before, a re-turning back to an innocence and wonder and openness to life and people, that we had before we got hurt by not being met in our amazing-ness as a young child.
This is gorgeous to read and reread regularly, as in it I can feel how God resides within me, in this I am all that is, I am God and thus the emanation, in stillness, meeting all there is and at the same time, fully open, be met back by the all. It allows me to feel how no effort is needed, how as you write, the day is an offering and comes to me. How glorious!
It’s so lovely to know there is always a choice to either see our daily life as a chore or one that is lived from the love within us! Thank you Paul for sharing this.
Wow. This is deeply beautiful. I am speechless basking in the beauty of your words.
Such a beautiful blog Paul, representing all that we are.
The beauty in this article is of such depth that it leaves me in deep stillness and adoration for you, Paul.
‘Through my body I connect, I touch the physical world’ – beautiful words. Thanks Paul for the the reminder – I am that I am’
I really appreciate how you describe the invasion of thoughts that can occur and how, in knowing and being aware of this you simply choose different, you choose the stillness “In this knowing comes a surrender, an awareness – not to the invasive thoughts but to a stillness.” I have felt this myself, as we build awareness, stillness is available. This article is profound and deeply connecting to stillness and so God.
“..knowing that I am that, I am a living son of God.” Beautifully expressed Paul, thank you.
Just exquisite Paul, connecting to the Son of God that we all so equally are.
Living son of God Paul – you inspire me to feel that I am the living son of God as well . . .
Thank you Paul. Far too often we are consumed by daily thoughts of petty matters, forgetting as always to remember the bigger picture at play.
I feel like this piece of writing has such a wonderful seamless flow to it, it holds the reader and I can feel the warmth and honouring of the relationship that you have with God. It is a joy, thank you for sharing.
“On moving my body full of love, and walking in the loving body of God, is my rhythm that constellates with all there is. Through my body I connect: I touch the physical world, and in that warmth I am there in full expression, knowing I am that, I am a living Son of God.” What a beautiful reminder that the answers lie within the body.
Thank-you Paul this is such a powerful, beautiful blog.
This is a beautiful blog to reflect on Paul.
Thank you for your poetic expression and wisdom.
A truly divine expression reflecting the absolute glory of who we truly are. Than you Paul.
Just brilliant Paul. “The day is now a blessing; a bringer of awareness and the feeling of being loved.” Every moment is but a reminder of how simply awesome it is to be expressing all that we are. Thank you.
The ever expanse that is God and us all with Him, beautiful Paul.
That is amazingly beautiful and full of power, your declaration of your love of God and the love that you are.
lovely to reread your blog Paul as I often still face the choice between seeing the day as a chore, full of things that need to be done and things I need to be….or the day as a bringer of awareness in the presence and livingness of God.
Sounds like you are returning to an ancient wisdom and familiar deep knowing Paul.
Very beautiful Paul!
mmm beautiful Paul. The ‘I am, that I am’ part just makes you sit back in yourself.
‘The day ceases to be a chore’ when we connect to who we truly are. So beautifully expressed Paul.
“I feel a beautiful supportive energising state – an allowing, an openness for the day and all it offers to come to me. The day ceases to be a chore; it is not a battle, hard work, a constant trying to control what’s next, a game of chess, to achieve and be recognised for what I have done.” When I awoke this morning I had thoughts that it was a battle to get out of bed and go to work, your article has reminded me of my connection and allowing the day to unfold and come to me, no trying or battle required.
Wow, you’re on fire Paul; it is contagious.
Absolutely beautiful Paul. I am that I am.
I am that, I am…beautiful Paul, I can feel how this love can be connected to in every moment of the day.
So simple and powerful expression! It is through the choice of living in full connection to our bodies that we get to experience the divinity that we all are.
So beautiful, so still. I love this expression. Thank you, Paul.
Your experience of feeling God is very beautiful and full of inspiration to be All that I Am, thank you Paul.
Sandra, I totally love what you say and what Paul shares, God is within and he is without.
I feel very still as I read this blog and yet very alive. A beautiful all-encompassing expression. Thank you Paul.
This is pure gold. Very profound and still. I love it. Thank you Paul!
