This morning as I woke, I felt – ah… is it Christmas, is it my Birthday? Then I realised, no, it is me! I am lying here, gently tucked in under my blankets, with Me. This felt so warm and so beautiful… it is not Christmas, it is not my Birthday – I have simply woken up with Myself, in all the beauty that I am.
Feeling the joy I felt as a child, feeling the glow of the day dawning, feeling my heart sing within my chest, feeling how, as I lay myself to rest so lovingly the night before, I have woken refreshed, inspired and divine. This Is Me. This is all of us. This is Love.
Good morning!
With the love and support of Universal Medicine, the simplicity of feeling who we are at heart is on our doorstep, if only we choose to open this door and let love in. A love that is not scary, it is strengthening; a love that does not pretend, but only asks you to be more, when you are ready. A love that says, life is joyful, come play with me!
Today I will play, with life and with me, to enjoy the sun, the birds, the builders next door and the work that needs to be done, for all of this is life and all life has its place.
How fantastic to feel and to know this and to allow myself to express this.
What a joy it has been and forever will be, if I continue to choose to wake up with Me.
The Truth about Universal Medicine 
The love is felt from this blog. I am inspired to go the bed and walk my day as everything is a miracle, lets play in joy.
It is enough just being ourselves. What a joy to be connected with that truth.
I love your supper sweet inspiring blog, reminding us all that we can wake up with us everyday when we choose a consistent loving way to live.
It’s incredible to wake up feeling yourself, feeling light, rested and ready for the day.
Clare, I agree. One of the loveliest features of my life is that I wake up and on quite a few days actually feel good and that without any anticipation – no Christmas or birthday or any reason.
Waking up in the absolute joy of who we are is the most beautiful experience.
Coming back to me is a simple choice in each moment that allows me to feel the natural joy that is within.
Finding a way to deeply rest or go into repose so we sleep with our body that is closed down, so at the end of the sleep we are fully rested, as you have shared Clare. This is definitely a science that is opening us to the many woes we have had in our many lives because of the normality of sleep deprivation. Thank you Clare for much can be learned by listening to our bodies, and that our natural sleeping rhythms, is what our bodies have always been asking us for. Most of us from a young age have been deprived of sleep and maybe a study could be conducted around true sleeping rhythms.
I love this blog, as it reveals how much I can focus on what is wrong with me, when all the time within me is this natural joy and playfulness which is patiently waiting for me to reconnect and live in fullness.
How we go to bed and the influence that has on our next day has to be the greatest medicine I was ever taught. It is a forever deepening relationship and one that brings great healing.
Thank you Clare, I always enjoy reading this, it’s short but very powerful! I also feel the joy of simply being with me, to go throughout my day with this connection to me, to be settled in the warmth, joy, and love I am feels absolutely amazing. And a huge thank you to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine for making this possible.
A beautiful sharing Clare. Thankyou. I used to wake anticipating the day ahead with dread. Nowadays on reading your blog I realise I don’t appreciate enough the changes I have made to wake up each day looking forward to what my day will bring – and what I can bring to my day.
Living life with the quality of play is so enriching.
We really are a gift to the world when we allow ourselves to be all that we are. For in being ourselves we cannot but reflect love through our every move.
I love this Claire, waking up with deep appreciation for all that we bring is a true blessing for everyone.
Yes, that confidence is life-changing.
Many people don’t have this level of love, joy and freedom for a single morning session of their adult lives. Thank you for sharing how incredible life can be Clare.
Feeling again the joy I felt as a child through the loving support of Universal Medicine is truly marvellous.
‘ I felt – ah… is it Christmas, is it my Birthday? Then I realised, no, it is me! I am lying here, gently tucked in under my blankets, with Me. ” Mornings like this can be quite funny, for life has been working on us to convince us that this is not possible, but thankfully it is , thank you for sharing what’s true.
‘Ah I wish one day I could wake up and feel this way!’. ‘Maybe if I work extra hard, this will happen to me?’. ‘I wonder if I’ll ever be lucky enough for this to be my life?’. These are the kinds of thoughts we have without accepting the simple fact, that the warmth you feel Clare is not about luck but saying yes, and embracing an energy of Love. Would your Soul or God really want you to be miserable and sad? I don’t think so. Just say yes to truth and you won’t be able to indulge in melodramas that aren’t true.
Yes how many people wake up and think about all the things they need to do in the day but don’t feel lovely and joyful because they are not waking up with themselves? To have an awareness of that we can be with ourselves and enjoy this is absolutely life changing.
This is beautiful, Clare. To wake up feeling refreshed, gorgeous and joyful about the day ahead.. I remember this feeling so clearly from childhood, and now it is returning more frequently, as I look after my body and re-learn to treat it lovingly and gently.
This morning I woke up tired, disturbed by a stormy night at the coast. But reading your joyful words Clare makes me realise I can have fun and enjoy today just the same. All I need to do is feel my body and not try to run away or escape from how it feels inside. Thank you for sharing here this beautiful simplicity and inspiring me.
Oh what a timely read. I have been unwell for the last week and have not enjoyed how I have been feeling when I wake up. You have reminded me that no matter how I am feeling each morning I am still “waking up with me”, and that would have to be the most joyful way to start each day. Now I am really looking forward to waking up with me tomorrow morning and then honouring my wonderful body however it feels!
This is totally gorgeous Clare, who better to wake up with then ourselves for we are all and all are love.
The best way to wake up with yourself is to go to bed with yourself. The best way to go to bed with yourself is to stay with yourself during the day. The best way to stay connected to yourself during the day is to wake up with yourself. The more deeply connected you are with yourself the more deeply connected you are with everyone else and with God… and there we have a perfect recipe for Joy.
Yes what could be better than going to bed with me, sleeping with me, waking up with me and spending all day with me. It really is that simple and gorgeous and yet the global tendency these days is for everything but – distraction, TV, stimulants, entertainment, food, checking out all those things that keep us away from ourselves. Your blog is like a breath of fresh air.
I do love those days when I wake up with me. And on the days I don’t or during the day things get intense I only have to stop and breathe gently and the warmth from within returns as if it had never died down, only my awareness of this fire was dampened.
We are all such precious and divine beings-no wonder it is beautiful to wake up in the morning and connect with our essence.
This is a very sweet blog, how lovely to share your experience with everyone Clare. When we connect to our sweetness we reflect this to all in the world also…and sweetness is very much needed in our world today with all its intensities etc.
I used to wake up on a Saturday and think, ah it’s the weekend, I can have a lie in, even though I have always loved working. Or as a child, I would love the break of the school holidays, not needing to go to school. But these days, a lot of my days are the same and I love them all, so it is great to wake with that joy every morning
Clare I love the simplicity of this blog about bringing you to everything, and life offers this to us everyday and – ‘if only we chose to open this door and let love in’ is bang on message for us all.
I love this – so simple, and yes it is true — when you come home to real you, you wake up with real you. You go to bed with the real you. And there cannot but be huge joy in this – that is what awaits us when we make the choice to come home to the divinity we truly are.
Short, sweet and full of wisdom and joy.
I love the teaching from Universal Medicine that our day begins with how we put ourselves to bed. Do we fall into bed exhausted and seeking relief from the day just been or do we let go of the day as we wind down and tenderly and lovingly put ourselves to bed knowing that this is the start of tomorrow?
Awesome Clare. As I learn to accept all of who I truly am, that is to accept that I am a beautiful, delicate woman of the world life is becoming joyful. I want to commit more and more to all areas of my life and at the same time addressing issues and hurts that arise along the way; in fact hurts and issues are beginning to not be such a big deal anymore, getting a glimpse that life is about my purpose and what I bring to the world.
I love this “Feeling the joy I felt as a child, feeling the glow of the day dawning, feeling my heart sing within my chest, feeling how, as I lay myself to rest so lovingly the night before, I have woken refreshed, inspired and divine. This Is Me. This is all of us. This is Love.” I can absolutely relate to this experience and I am constantly in awe of how I am returning to something that I already know, as I un-peel the layers of habits and hurts, I unearth a joyous innocent relationship with the All and myself that has always been there.
In order to rise from our darkened slumber and feel the truth of who we are, we first need to lay to rest all that is not born of this absolute truth and beauty and know that it was never truly a part of us no matter how much we may have identified with or sought comfort in it.
Well said Liane. Really love it – you speak to the ancientness of our divinity and choice to separate from it.
This is like a little poetic prayer to ourselves and we may have a reaction or two with it but the message and imprint is clear. There are days where we genuinely wake up fresh and ready to go and in the wonderment of what the day will bring and yet why isn’t this our everyday? Why can’t this be our everyday and who ever said it can’t be like this or we aren’t truly like this? I love that this is what this article brings, our everyday simply and truly with us is cause for the deepest celebration just for this reason. When was the last time we genuinely and simply celebrated and appreciated our breath? and why do we think that this simply is never enough? Today marks a day forward that me being and breathing my truth breath is enough.
“I have simply woken up with Myself, in all the beauty that I am.” A beautiful present we can gift to ourselves everyday.
Very lovely Clare, and inspiring. The feeling you describe, which I at least do know and recall (although it was more present in my childhood) is one to embrace every day.
How we appreciate our life everyday is amazing once connected through our inner-heart! So life itself becomes the celebration, which is inclusive and not exclusive.
Waking up with joy, no coffee, no energy drinks, no anything… except you. Isn’t this what the whole world wants?
To wake up and know you are amazing and that today was designed to be amazing in every way – what could be better?
And a valuable part of waking with this sense of amazingness is the humbleness required to willingly see all that we live throughout the course of our day that does not match the quality of this.
Very very true, and humbleness is one of the most under-rated expressions today, and such a great initiator of change.
For the most part this is how we wake as children – all skippity skip and ready to meet the new day because we have not burdened ourselves with ideals, images and expectations of how we should and shouldn’t be that act like a lead sinker in the sense they prevent us from feeling the lightness we all in essence are when we live in an authentic way. That is, we are not trying to be anything but just being with ourselves and whole heartedly expressing this ‘beingness’ in all we then do in our day.
Have you written that book? Have you sent in that form? Have you completed that project? Have you emailed your friend back? Have you sent through the photo that you said you would? Have you finished the powerpoint pack for work? All of these things are there to be done but never ever at the expense of ourselves, in a drive, a rush or a push – for nothing beats or can replace the joy and warmth and love and fun of waking and living with appreciation for yourself. This quality is always the right side of bed to get out of. Thank you Clare.
The valuing of ourselves is unfortunately not common, but in that delightful connection and understanding of who you are in the body, much is now possible including an inner joy that knows no bounds.
Indeed it is not normal to wake up tired exhausted and irritable and yet many times we do. Maybe it is time to look at the quality in which we live and sleep.
Yes, and regardless of how miserable we feel in one moment we can choose to connect to love in the moment after and hold it for as long as we like!
Waking up like that is magical, so many mornings I have woken up and felt the complete stillness in the room. It comes with such clarity, no overwhelming thoughts, no rush to get up and do whatever, just an ease with myself and with an inspiration to have a gorgeous day.
Gorgeous and inspiring, a beautiful way to wake – and then the joy of .. how can I serve today? Thank you Clare
How beautiful to wake up with this joy and love for yourself everyday, to appreciate these moments as ‘normal’ is a beautiful step towards deepening our own love.
In fact, we have chosen to walk away from a way of living that would be so much more joyous to the life I nowadays see people do have. They are busy with chasing their ideals and the ways they think life would bring joy and prosperity, but in that forget to stop and go inside where this joy already resides. So simple actually.
Thankyou Clare, its simple and succinct what you have shared, but it expresses volumes. I don’t often wake up feeling that same warmth and wonder to be me. I participated in the Universal Medicine workshop Livingness 1 a few days ago and it was so powerful regarding reconnecting to the essence of who we are within. I have felt my essence more throughout my day, and you have inspired me to nurture myself more and wake with me everyday.
What if everyday could be amazing and everyday could be what we feel and experience and know, and life could get better and better? All we need to do is grasp the opportunities life presents us with both hands.
To me what you share Clare, is key to living life in our full glory. to awake every day like it is Christmas or your birthday when you were a child. Every day is our birthday as it is our right to shine and celebrate this beauty we are in every moment of our lives.
Nico it’s exactly how kids are, they reflect to us we too can live connected to our essence and enjoy being ourselves in each and every day.
Indeed Melinda, children are a great reflection for us and is a reflection we very much need. But to be honest, I too do not always awake with feeling this joy deep in my body as while it is there the thoughts in my mind try to convince me that life is hard and a chore, a belief that is, en masse, lived in our nowadays societies. To me this means that there is something outside of us that tries to control us, to make us think that life is hard and a chore instead of enjoying life from that vibrancy that lives in each and all of us equally so. Imagine if we all would awake in joy and celebrate every day as if it was our first?
It is our birthright to feel gorgeous and beautiful just being ourselves and as you show we can always claim it back, the beauty, lightheartedness and ease that was once so familiar when we were children.
It is the most gorgeous feeling when we allow ourselves to feel the love within and around us.
That sounds amazing! Simply waking up in that way completely as you and not because of something/someone to look forward to! That to me, sounds like my kind of #lifewin!
I’ve always loved. this blog. It reminds me that it is not normal to wake up tired, cranky, sore or dreading the day ahead.
I agree Leonne, I used to wake up feeling like this everyday, I knew it was not normal but I didn’t know how to shift this feeling. It wasn’t until I started to reconnect to a more loving way to live inspired by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine that I now wake up feeling amazing more and more each day.
The blog sets a new marker for what we could consider living a healthy and vital life – vitality not just physically, but also including living each day joyfully, as surely anything less than this must be draining. The norm of waking tired, lethargic, sore and cranky etc should now really set off alarm bells that the whole of life is not being lived as it could be.
Very true Leonne – it’s insane what we have accepted as a norm.
Life is joy come play with me, how gorgeous Clare I would love to play with you. What you have expressed here is so beautiful and inspiring, thank you for sharing your experiences, your love and your wisdom;
“Feeling the joy I felt as a child, feeling the glow of the day dawning, feeling my heart sing within my chest, feeling how, as I lay myself to rest so lovingly the night before, I have woken refreshed, inspired and divine. This Is Me. This is all of us. This is Love”.
Reading this reminds me that our morning really starts in how we put ourselves to bed – for that will be the quality we wake up in. I have been very tired this week with mornings with me groaning in the mornings instead of feeling ready for the day so it’s great to be reminded thank you. Its a pattern that just needs to be reimprinted into it’s opposite so I feel my natural vitality each morning.
Good Morning Clare! As I sit here waiting for a train at the end of a very long day I read your blog knowing that every waking choice I make contributes to the way I wake up. You have clearly been making some excellent choices.
What an absolute gorgeous way of waking up to the new day, thank you Clare for sharing and awakening me to open up to the joy of the love I hold within me. “A love that says, life is joyful, come play with me!”
All of those with sleep troubles are simply experiencing the imbalance of living to someone else’s drum and not to the beat of their own. What you share Clare is the joy to living to your true rhythm. The trouble arises when what we think is our true rhythm is not truly ours at all we have simply got used to living someone else’s.
Awakening to who we are in essence is our divine purpose of being here. With every day, with every sunrise we are offered the opportunity to embrace the light of who we are and explore how we can live our light through our days, bringing our lightness of being the lives we live. Thank God for Serge Benhayon for reminding us that this is our true way of being, and that awakening to our divinity is only just the beginning for us all, in realising what our true potential is.
Ah that is so glorious to read and feel – exactly what I feel like having as why would we not have that?
“A love that says, life is joyful, come play with me!”
This sentence, that is also the title, shows us how we have all (everything) inside and that we just need to connect, honor that and bring it fully out.
True – it’s like the day is waiting for us, we can either embrace it with everything we’ve got or not.
I love the playfulness here. We see life as so serious, and yes, there are some very serious moments, but to be honest, and what else is there to be… it is us that bring seriousness to life. Nature and the world around us just holds the space for us to do what we will in it.
How you felt Clare on that morning waking up is simply divine and resonates with me from within. I have had many mornings waking up with me and feeling the joy in rising and getting into my day, however, it is not my norm and reading your gorgeous experience today has reminded me to be more playful and light.
Ah – I love reading this blog Clare. It’s a continual reminder to me that this playful appreciative way is always just a choice away. No matter how painful or hard things might seem I am always able to be kind, understanding and caring with me. And most of all – to have fun with feeling who I am. Thank you for sharing from under the blankets how cool life can be.
Although today I don’t relate to feeling permanently great, I know that if you are feeling what you say, that one day I will too, in my own way, I will feel like you, with joy with grace and so from this place –
of knowing, that we are all one, I’ll bring some fun, some lightness. I vow to notice all the brightness and live thy future now and let my heart lead the way.
Isn’t it amazing when we do and live the ‘me’ really properly, we get to feel and be with over and beyond that confinement and there is no self?
I have loved hearing the birds singing as I walk along the street, at any time of the day, I used to be oblivious to the sounds around me, but as I am more connected to myself the more I am aware of all the beauty is around me.
A gorgeous celebration Clare – and something we do not as a rule do nearly enough, i.e. celebrate ourselves and the undeniable Joy of living in connection with all that we truly are.
Thank-you for sharing 🙂
Joy, love and appreciation every day is our simple normal, live it and all the struggles and complication we have accepted as part of what is life, has no more room to exist.
Such lovely light and joyful inspiration.
I didn’t use to want to wake up. In fact I would sleep all day. My commitment to life was very low. Since I turned my life around with the unwavering support of Universal Medicine I now lovingly go to bed early, watch no tv as well, and rise (mostly) super early to complete work. I thrive to work, and usually stay home weekends to do what it is needed to support my life and what is next with my work.
Key to vitality = never holding back the joy and fun we are inside.
It is quite common to forget the most amazing gift we have and that is who we are – the ‘me’ – an investment that keeps on giving. Beautiful and playful Clare.
I needed to read this today, thank you. A reminder to not be bogged down in doing life but to come back to having a flow with life.
I felt like this/feel like this this morning too Clare – how the world is reflecting back it’s beauty and glory with the sun streaming through the window, a bounteous display of colourful flowers and the birds singing in gaiety and playfulness. In fact your blog has inspired me to open the window and now it is even more glorious. Thank you.
Beautiful Clare, I love the simplicity of your blog and am struck by that each time I read it. There is no greater joy nor contentment in life than to feel your true self and to move with the quality of who we are in our essence. Thanks again for the playful reminder that life is this simple… take care of this, and the rest takes care of itself.
….’ I have woken refreshed, inspired and divine. This Is Me. This is all of us. This is Love.’ What a different story than most of the people wake up, grumpy, needing some stimulation like coffee or sugar to wake up. You just wake up with you, appreciating yourself and a new day coming.
Such a different way to wake Clare. No push, drive, hardness or shove to have to start the day and get things done. Just the simplicity of enjoying a moment with you and taking that to the day and whatever it brings and asks of us.
Lovely joy and appreciation of a moment, but also the commitment made to getting back to who you truly are though the way that you live. Many moments make a foundation of lived way, awesome inspiration in this blog.
Super gorgeous Clare – this is how we woke as children before we let the strength and majesty of our flame dwindle down to a barely burning ember. Your words serve to reignite this flame of love within our hearts so that we may once more light the world with the warmth of our glow. For when we open the door and let love back in, we let a whole heap of it back out also. It is this two-way traffic that heals all that has harmed us by not living true to the absolute love that we are.
Such a simple and profound blog Clare… you describe what so many spend thousands and enormous effort to achieve in their lives, in fact the entire spiritual new age is based around trying to reach this place. You make it sound (because it is!) the most normal and natural state, rather than some out-of-this-world enlightened experience.
When we wake up feeling both refreshed and simply ourselves it allows us to feel the new beginnings on offer for the coming day.
What could be better than me and its free 🙂
Clare, this is a joyful story to read. I also love the feeling of waking early and lying being aware of my body and being present with it, before I make any movement to get out of be. It is a great way to begin the day – with me!
“What a joy it has been and forever will be, if I continue to choose to wake up with Me”.
This childlike quality of playing throughout your day, feeling how lovely it is to be you just because of how you feel is something that we all miss. Yet it never goes away and is always there through the inner heart. The Universal Medicine presentations and modalities have restored this knowing in so many people worldwide.
A great reminder to walk with an open heart, and simply enjoy all that the day offers us.
I wonder how many people wake up like this, but simply don’t take the time to cherish and feel how wonderful they are. Are we truly as ill as we seem to be? Or is the greatest part of our current health malaise, that we simply exercise no gratitude for being alive today? We talk a lot about fitness and exercise regimes – but isn’t it time we all went on a serious (but playful) gratitude program? Thank you Clare – I think this is the start of mine.
How can another ever know that joy is a choice, unless those of us that feel it, know it and live for all to see.
How wonderful Clare that you feel, know and express who you truly are, thank you for sharing your wisdom;
“Today I will play, with life and with me, to enjoy the sun, the birds, the builders next door and the work that needs to be done, for all of this is life and all life has its place”.
What a delight to read your sweet and shiny blog, it invites me to join you and I do, there is so much joy in me to share with the world. And this is what it is;’ A love that says, life is joyful, come play with me!’
This is probably my the favourite blog out of every one I have read. It doesn’t get more complicated than this – just living in care and tender awe with your body – playfully having fun with each step that you take, no matter the weather or what people say. This is all we are here to do. Thank you Clare for sharing so beautifully your love story with you.
Thank you Clare for inspiring me to look at life in a joyful way! We can get bogged down when we forget who we truly are (Sons of God ) and make life about worry, fear and insecurity. To wake up with me, joy, how wonderful!
Universal Medicine is the only place I know that invites and inspires me to be me. Not even in my home when I was growing up didn’t I experience this and nowhere else I can remember as an adult. Entering Universal Medicine is the first place I have ever been to that celebrates people for who we are. We can feel safe to simply be ourselves and able to trust and let our guard down. This is a blessing for anyone who chooses to attend, receiving a space that allows us to be who we are, love.
The way we put ourselves to bed makes a massive difference in how we feel when we wake up, waking up refreshed and inspired is possible everyday if we take the same amount of care and love in putting ourselves to bed the night before.
I was listening to a podcast from Serge Benhayon today about letting love out and it was very beautiful to feel that it is about letting others in and not holding back for fear of being hurt but letting them in by letting our love out.
When I feel that every day is so similar it is only my evolution that seemingly makes it change then I also feel the joy of my divine connection.
Reading your blog clare and all the comments, I feel the joy and reconnect to my playfulness. It is always there. This is inviting me to always make the choice to be with it.
I remember as a child how I used to wake up with me every day. Everyday was a new beginning, a new adventure and life was just so joyful. It is incredible how, as adults most people feel that this is not possible yet as you have just shown Clare it is very possible to have it as an adult. Universal Medicine and its teachings have also supported me to live with this joy as well.
Clare, you’ve reminded me that I used to wake up feeling great because it is a special day like my birthday, Christmas or a special occasion. It was almost like I could count with one hand how often I wake up feeling joyful. Now after 4 years of learning the teaching of Ageless Wisdom and The Way of The Livingness from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, I feel so much more myself, more joyful and appreciative of life. We could be feeling amazing everyday, making this the norm.
Beautiful, so simple and inspiring just to let the love in and be who we are. It’s all there for us to access, just a choice.
Beautiful, inspiring choice: “Today I will play, with life and with me, to enjoy the sun, the birds, the builders next door and the work that needs to be done, for all of this is life and all life has its place.”
I love the lightness and joy in which you write this – “Today I will play, with life and with me, to enjoy the sun, the birds, the builders next door and the work that needs to be done, for all of this is life and all life has its place.” Very inspiring.
A beautiful antidote to being too serious 🙂
The absolute best way to live: with you and the whole universe with you.
Life does become playful when we wake with ourselves… and everyone gets to enjoy it. Thank you Trish.
Me is the best investment ever and one that never stops expanding and sharing.
I agree and it is interesting to note that having been a huge and successful doer and achiever I have discovered the more I invest in truly being me and taking care of my body the more I am connected to everyone else and actually end up doing much, much more, but it feels very different and is much more simple 🙂
Thank you Clare for the simple and beautiful reminder to wake up and enjoy how amazing we truly are.
Waking up in that state also offers a healing to everyone else you come into contact with.
What a gorgeous sharing Clare waking up with the love and joy of who we truly are, and each one of us can wake up to this divine way of being.
A beautiful testimony that feeling great just being ourselves is not only possible but a life that can be lived.
It’s such a confirmation of the way life can be when we choose to be in ‘The Livingness’. Yes Clare, life is joy-full, beauty-full and wonder-full.
What you share here Clare is so simple and natural, yet for many it is not their reality as they have lost this feeling a long time ago and got used to waking up exhausted, heavy and grumpy. This has become the new normal, so much so that most do not even question it anymore and have given up on making change possible.
The Joy we can experience on a daily basis is totally limitless. The more we let go of the pictures of how we think life needs to look the more we can see and feel the expanse of Joy, love and harmony.
Gorgeous Clare… revisiting your blog was just as delightful as the first. Thanks for the reminder that we are everything already, and nothing outside us can make us any more than that.
Simple and gorgeous. I pondered on on how I wake and I usually wake and then begin to think about all the things I want to do. Slight contrast with what is written here!
I love this blog Clare, so much joy, love and truth.
Letting love in we then naturally let love out. I love the joy and simplicity of your blog Clare.
What a joy it is to wake up to this blog! 272 words of effervescent joy that remind me of the simplicity of life. With everything that is going on in the world and in our lives it is oh-so-easy to get overwhelmed by all the mountains that seem to be in front of us. To many it may seem trite to reduce the discourse down to such simplistic terms – but everything you say is in fact a very profound and lived wisdom and is a reflection to me, who can easily get wrapped up in the illusions and stories of our world, of my life, to keep it super simple. Choosing to be me is all we need to do. Everything comes forth from that one choice.
Thank you for the beautiful blog Clare.
I love your blog Clare, your playfullness and joy is very infectious – it just dances off the page.
Being with ourselves connected to the love that we are is the greatest gift for all, it allows us to meet life with the simplicity of our bodies and not the complications of the head.
I so love this blog Clare, I can’t help but feel the warmth of love flush over me of how it feels to wake up with me.
The joy of being in connection with who we are, our Soul, is in-truth uncontainable. As it is our true nature to emanate the eternal Love we are, a light that forever shines the glory of God.
When we wake up to the truth of what is here under the misery we have blanketed it with, we naturally feel the ‘joy of a child’ that emanates freely from a body that is not imposed upon by a lesser way to be. We are children of the Universe, the many Sons of God who often we forget this and walk around as mere ‘sons of men’, blind to the majesty that forever lives within.
What a beautiful wake up call Clare, thank you for reminding us of the present we have in our own presence each and every day.
Love is found in simplicity.
“Is it Christmas, is it my Birthday? Then I realised, no, it is me!” I love it Clare… that is a very rare thing to wake feeling and express as an adult. There is no greater gift than yourself and this is what Universal Medicine offers every person.
Thank you Clare for the reminder to just feel me when I awake and enjoy whatever the day may have in store for me! I love that you enjoy each day as it comes.
When we open the door and let love in, we let it out to all others also.
Yes indeed let love in and let love out.
Thank you Clare. The way you start your day is a truly beautiful thing! This story should be front page news. When I read your words I feel how simple life can be when we choose love.
This is definitely NOT the way most people describe waking up Clare, thanks for the reminder that it is possible and that there is nothing greater than to feel who we are. It also completely changes what you might want a ‘day’ to deliver you, since you’ve already felt the unbeatable satisfaction of having YOU with you.
This is still one of my favourite ever blogs. We see news about illness and war, and research about the world’s ill health, but really we should say that something is severely wrong any day we don’t wake up feeling this joyful way. It is not that we need to be blamed or punished either, but simply if this effervescence you describe Clare is not there we simply need to stop and not continue to push and carry on. Because this sense of fun is never too far underground, out of reach or hidden from light. With just the smallest window it springs back to life.
There is so much joy felt in your blog Clare, it made me want to go back to bed and wake with the rest of me. I love the feeling of waking with all of me, you get to feel and see everything around you that is always there waiting to be seen and felt, but by virtue of the way we have chosen to live we have put a veil of fog over it.
Ah, the joy in waking up simply with ‘Us’. I’ve noticed sometimes I very quickly start to ‘take on’ the day even when lying in bed still, but giving myself a moment to breathe and appreciate makes all the difference in how I get up and choose to live the day from that moment!
Clare I love this experience you write about “I am lying here, gently tucked in under my blankets, with Me. This felt so warm and so beautiful… it is not Christmas, it is not my Birthday – I have simply woken up with Myself, in all the beauty that I am.” When I wake up feeling like this I am so at ease and content, needing nothing. It reminds me that life is not what we accumulate or do on the outside but the quality we wake up with and live each day.
I love your blog Clare, to feel the silkiness of my skin against my sheets is the most beautiful feeling. There is an absolute joy in being ourselves, in caring for our bodies with all the grace and tenderness we can. For waking up with me is like, as you share, it being Christmas every day.
Your Joy is infectious and reminds me that how I live my day is how I wake up in the morning. Thank you.
Great reminder to allow love in, to be open and know there is another way. Allowing love in allows us to connect to our true essence our innate beauty.
I great reminder to not make life too serious… love it Clare and the playful way you look at your life and being with yourself.
‘Today I will play, with life and with me, to enjoy the sun, the birds, the builders next door and the work that needs to be done, for all of this is life and all life has its place.’ So great to feel this. It’s easy to choose to see some of life’s more mundane details as being somehow an interruption to life – so I love this quote, especially ‘all of this is life and all life has its place’.
I remember reading this blog a while ago and how much joy I could feel and resonate with. Today, reading this, I know this is not how I awoke this morning and I really miss that. Here I am being offered a moment to ask myself what is going on, how I have been living. So thank you, Clare.
The feeling of being truly connected beats excitement any day 🙂
Good morning Clare, a refreshing and light blog about the truth of us, thank you.
Awesome blog about the simplicity and joy of life Clare. Waking up in this way is gorgeous and sets a lovely tone for the day. When my mornings are a struggle I know that I need to reflect on how I lived my previous day, and then take extra care of me.
Lovely blog Clare, to wake up and know that you have the choice to be with you, and to be with you for each and every choice you make during the day.
This blog blows me away because it describes something that is so natural to us yet so rare in day to day life. Most people I know (including me) express feeling tired and stressed about the day ahead. When people do say they feel great it’s because they have an exciting event planned etc. Waking up full of joy simply because that is what we are is a truly beautiful thing.
I use my phone as my alarm and this morning I spent 10 minutes rolling around in bed unable to find it as it chimed and flashed inside the covers. At first I was annoyed as I like to hit snooze and stay in bed but after a minute or two I couldn’t help but laugh and feel what a blessing it was to be woken this way. Thank you for allowing me to appreciate the joy of waking up with myself Clare.
What a lovely way to wake up. These days I have more days like this than not. What a blessing this is.
Me too Amanda, I am realising that we could all be feeling this way every day. It is certainly not normal to wake up feeling anything less than amazing, joyful and playful.
So many of us have fallen for pretending to ourselves or others that we feel okay to avoid having to get honest and look at why we are not, but it is when we address these things that the love is no longer held back and there is no need to pretend… for life as you have shown is a joy to embrace and express.
To wake up so full of joy Clare is such a beautiful confirmation of how you chose put yourself to bed the night before.
Great point deborahmckay. It makes sense that the quality of the choices we make each day, pave the way to the quality we then meet.
Love is consistent by choice, just as misery is consistent by choice. Either way we go it starts with our choice.
This is true Leigh. It is always a choice to re-connect to the joy within or be defined by the influences outside of us.
Great blog just reflecting there is an other way to live, “The Way Of The Livingness”
I love this, so simple yet so profound. I have drawn a lot of inspiration from this because I don’t always wake up every day feeling like what you have described, checking deeply within me and connecting to the love within and joy, so thank you.
Clare, your blog has me smiling, how simple it can be, we have us with us always, so gorgeous when we celebrate this with the joy that is natural to us, to celebrate the love we are ‘A love that says, life is joyful, come play with me!’
Another gorgeous line here Clare ” A love that is not scary, it is strengthening; a love that does not pretend, but only asks you to be more, when you are ready. A love that says, life is joyful, come play with me!” Truly beautiful words that offer a lot to ponder on.
Thank you Clare what a refreshing blog to read! The joy of simply being connected to the divinity within, to love, joy and appreciation, to simply celebrate yourself and enjoy all of life. I especially appreciated this line “feeling how, as I lay myself to rest so lovingly the night before, I have woken refreshed, inspired and divine.” Life is so simple when it’s lived in celebration.
How awesome Clare, that you have chosen to connect to something that is innate in you, joy. We all have this inside, it is our inner essence, that essence we felt as a child, and in my case very quickly covered it up with a wall of protection. Slowly but surely this wall is coming down and I am beginning to feel pockets of joy and it is so lovely to feel your confirmation that it is possible to wake up in joy every day once we decide to open up our hearts and re-connect to ourselves.
So gorgeous to read Clare, and to realise this could be me if I choose to wake up with me, for it is in me also.
What a delightful blog. Waking up full of life and brimming with joy, absolutely gorgeous. And this feeling is there for all of us to claim as we allow more love into our hearts and connect to soul.
The simplicity of living life to the full in the love of who you are.
Beautiful way to wake up Clare. Reading about how lovingly you put yourself to bed the night before reminds us how important this is in assisting us to have a restful sleep, resulting in waking up feeling deeply connected to ourselves. Your blog is a delight to read and inspires us to allow ourselves to feel our amazingness and not saving it just for special occasions. Every day is equally special.
Today I will play with life and be me, what a beautiful intention and approach to the day Clare.
The children and colleagues you work with are indeed blessed to be with you bringing your light and love to each and every day.
What a way to wake up Clare. I can only imagine how lovely the rest of your day is when you choose to wake up in the quality you describe here. The children you work with are absolutely blessed to be met by an adult that knows how to wake up and live this way.
Waking up with all of me is the best present (pun intended) that I could ever give myself. Your sweet blog, Clare, made me smile from the very beginning, so joyful with a childlike innocence that delights in waking up with all of you.
This blog is short and so simple, but to me it never gets old. Just imagine a world where we all woke up with this wonderment of ourselves and each other in this way. I can only say it is inspiring me, to make my relationship with me super fun and loving. Thank you for sharing your warmth Clare.
Thank you Clare how fantastic to express this indeed and how awesome to have a blog site like this and others associated with Universal Medicine to express it on! You took me back to my childhood and the memory of waking up with a sense of excitement what the day would bring. This slowly turned into a mild anxiousness and sometimes dread, until becoming a student of Universal Medicine and re-discovering that childlike spark still able to be ignited and lived.
What a magnificent ode to life your are Clare.
Imagine more and more if us waking up with ourselves like this, life after life. Evolutionary.
It’s lovely to read the appreciation and celebration within your words Claire, and a great reminder to stop and appreciation myself more.
Thank you Clare for a simple and gorgeous reminder to wake up and celebrate and appreciate ourselves in full.
One thing to truly appreciate when we wake up is the fact that we have actually woken up! You could say that waking up from sleep could be an analogy for waking up to truth, even more reason to celebrate, as many of us have been in a deep slumber for lifetimes… no wonder Clare has a smile on her face, she has obviously woken up to herself and the love that she truly is 🙂
Reading this blog brought to my attention the fact that I can constantly feel the pull to be more, to allow myself to expand and show the world who I am. As crazy as this seems I hadn’t ever really equated this as confirmation of a growing love of myself. It is as you say Clare, a love that strengthens me and is definitely not something to shy away from.
Yes Helen, if you didn’t feel the love that you are I am sure you wouldn’t be feeling the pull to be more. I hadn’t actually realised this one myself, so thank-you. Also, for me it is the tension I feel in my body when I resist the pull to be more, it hurts, and we all know that resistance is futile, as we will all return to love once again… together.
Clare, this blog is so beautiful, it is gorgeous to feel your joy, I notice this in children, that they simply enjoy life and being them, as adults we don’t seem to have this and so it is great to read that this is indeed possible.
Adults are just grown up children, so we all had this simple joy of life once upon a time… so where did it go? Can it not be captured again… yes it can, because it never went anywhere it just needs to be re-kindled, re-ignited and remembered. So thank you Clare for the reminder.
So true Felix, it’s a moment to appreciate how much you appreciate.
When we give deep appreciation for ourselves everyday we allow ourselves to see the complete joy and love we are within
I love coming back to your blog Clare, it’s pure joy and love. It always brings me back to how gorgeous, loving and joy-full I am. I couldn’t think of anyone better to wake up with everyday. Thanks for the reminder.
A Beautiful reminder that life is simple and that we need nothing more that to live connected to our amazing selves and all others, and with the awesome reflections that Humanity offers every day.
It is as simple as that. Thank you Clare
Everything we crave for is within, thanks Clare
Clare a beautiful sharing, how simple it is to wake up with ourselves in our fullness and joy, experience each day as our birthday. My birthday came this week, for me it felt like my everyday being in my joy, there was no need for any extra celebration.
Awesome Amita, to let go of the belief that we feel more special on our birthday is rare and beautiful to be living every day feeling amazing and joyful. Not many people in this world could say they wake up feeling joyful every day. What you bring to people you meet, work with and live with in your everyday life will be deeply inspiring for them.
There are many articles on the internet with many ‘wise’ words or lengthy passages. But wow Clare, this short blog makes my heart sing. It shares a knowing that is infectious, and says in an unmistakable way that joy and harmony can be our reality.
The reality is that joy and harmony IS our true reality, not the way that most of humanity is living now, we need more Clare’s in the world to reflect that it is entirely possible to connect to this joy and harmony and then we can make it everyone’s reality.
Wonderful Clare – thank you for sharing your joy!
Absolutely extroadinary and beautiful Clare! I love that you wake up with you. It has to be the best feeling ever, waking up knowing who you are, and being in the joy of that. Ive also been inspired by Universal Medicine to bring this with me during my day, so it is there when Im at work, and can have fun and see the light in all situations, when at the airport, supermarket etc, life really is a joy when we do it with ourselves.
Absolutely divine, thank you Clare.
Waking up with yourself, who would have thought something so simple was so profound and powerful – but it is.
So simple yet with a profound message – allow love in and then the magic reveals itself right there in everything we do and all around us! Thank you Clare.
What a gorgeous way to start the day Clare – in full appreciation of the Glory we are – love it, thank you for sharing your joy.
This blog is an opportunity to truly appreciate that what we are, and feel our beauty in all that we do. It is inspiring to see how waking up in this enjoyment is truly possible, as I often just sleep, and wake up not fully appreciating myself and the day ahead.
Choosing to open the door and let love and life in; what a beautiful blog to feel and ponder on Clare, thank you. To be reminded that it is always our choice is very supportive and encouraging.
How inspiring and beautiful to wake up to this this morning Clare! My morning have been ver up and down, sometimes not wanting to face the day or the tasks ahead but I can see this as an old pattern and one that is truly outdated. There is immense Joy in my body, I know it, I’ve felt it, so why not wake up with it and open the door to love? Thank you Clare.
I have found that especially when it feels like things around me are getting tough knowing that I have felt that sense of connection reminds me that it is a choice, and I can choose to come back to it.
Very true words for as we consistently build and connect to that ever growing, solid foundation we become everyones rock. ln a still, grounded, tender everlasting sense.
Love this Clare, it’s so simply and so effective when we wake up with us the true us, it feels like all Christmases and birthday’s rolled into one!
I love this Clare, I really loved how you added the builders next door as being part of your enjoyment. When we are with us we don’t react to the usual temptations as we observe not absorb what is around us.
So true Kim. lt was an awesome touch, to mention the builders next door and a true marker reflecting where in her heart she sings from.
Reading your blog gave me a full appreciation of what glory I am. A beautiful piece of alchemy Clare.
I feel like celebrating ourself is the best thing we can do everyday, to feel that there is much more than the struggles I often create to not truly feel capable of enjoying life in full. This is a beautiful inspiration, to just go to bed with ourself and feel truly rejuvenated the next day.
Waking up to simply being you is priceless Clare – what would the world look like if we all did that? Awesome blog!
Thank you Clare for sharing your commitment to being fully in the flow of life. So lovely to read and feel and it inspires me to look again at the quality I put myself to sleep in every single night.
“Feeling the joy I felt as a child, feeling the glow of the day dawning, feeling my heart sing within my chest, feeling how, as I lay myself to rest so lovingly the night before, I have woken refreshed, inspired and divine. This Is Me. This is all of us. This is Love”.
This is indeed love Clare; so simply and beautifully expressed, thank you.
It’s gorgeous to wake up and feel that level of connection, and to be able to take that with you into your day provides a beautiful reflection for those around you.
It can feel very lovely to wake up feeling my body in a very aligned, relaxed position, surrendered to the bed and feel there is nothing I need from the day as I feel all of me and feel complete. The way this has been expressed in this blog would make a great children’s book. The simplicity and yumminess is inspiring.
One thing I took from your blog was the notion of, as we go to bed the night before, so too do we rise the next morning. A great reminder that sleep isn’t an ending but a continuation and that however we enter it, is how we re-emerge from it.
It is a beautiful reminder of how glorious we are and how very simple it can be to appreciate that.
It is inspiring to read about the way you woke up Clare. I am reminded that I can choose to lovingly take myself to bed and wake up with this same quality.
So simply and beautifully expressed Clare – the joy of waking up and feeling you everyday is certainly worth celebrating.
What a joy to read this blog in the afternoon. I cannot wait to go to bed with me and to wake up with the lovely me and play!
Good morning! “I have simply woken up with Myself, in all the beauty that I am.” Good day! “Today I will play, with life and with me,….” Good evening! I will lovingly wind down my body and my day and appreciate all the love that I am and the love that I’ve shared. Good night! I lay myself to rest gently, lovingly with great tenderness and devotion.
Thank you Clare – you say so much here so simply and indeed playfully. “With the love and support of Universal Medicine, the simplicity of feeling who we are at heart is on our doorstep, if only we choose to open this door and let love in.” You allow me to feel the truth that it is as simple as going to bed with me, waking up with me and tenderly being with me each moment.
There is an amazing simplicity to this blog that reflects the simplicity of life if we are connected to our inner heart and not to the complication we create.
Beautiful Clare. Love is within us all and it is a choice to get get to know ourselves at a deeper level to connect to this Love and Be this Love in all that we do.
This is such a beautiful expression of appreciation Clare, of who you are and of the divinity that we all already are. Every day we are given the opportunity to choose to open the door and explore the endless fields of Love, where we can play and celebrate the glorious-ness that we all are.
It is an incredible statement waking up with all of me. Imagine choosing to sit with that all day long.
Very beautiful Clare. This is how we should wake up feeling, the joy of life and love for everything, connecting to who we are.
Good morning Clare. How lovely to wake up with the love of being ourselves and living that in all we do. Since I have been a student of The Way of the Livingness I have completely changed how – and when – I wake each morning; no longer ‘What have I got to do today?’ more ‘What opportunities will be offered to me today?’ Every day is full of the magic of God.
So true Mary, in fact I used to wake up overcome with feelings of dread about the day ahead, wondering how I would get from one end of it until the other (coffee – lots of coffee). I would push through and do it all again. Like you, the time and way that I wake up now is completely different and my mornings are now a time I cherish as opposed to a mad rush. Clare’s gorgeous sharing inspires me to take this blessing deeper and truly treasure myself upon going to bed, waking and in each moment in between.
‘What opportunities will be offered to me today?’ Great question Mary which opens you up to feeling and appreciating the magic of God in every moment. Thank you for the inspiration.
What a gorgeous gorgeous sharing. I can feel what you describe and more wonderfully – feel the same today.
I love that in reading this I can feel that in me too. It confirms how I truly feel. Gorgeous.
The great reflection I got from this article is the fact that we can feel very fulfilled just simply with ourselves, waking up feeling our lovely breath and the ease and vitality we can wake up with. I know that feeling of thinking it has to be Christmas or my birthday in order to relate it with the gorgeousness I was feeling when I woke up! I could not believe it that it was just me! Just like you express Clare, it does not have to be an anniversary, birthday, celebration event, or holiday, feeling love and feeling great can be everyday – and is not event-related. It is something that comes from you.
I used to feel like that too DannaElmalah – that it had to be a special occasion or that I had to be feeling particularly special to celebrate me – and so in actual fact, there were veerrryyy loooooong gaps in between appreciating and celebrating me because even when it was a special occasion, I often still didn’t get the attention I was needing/expecting to get from others (i.e. to make me feel ‘special’), and hence I was often disappointed. Through the presentations of Universal Medicine, I began to realise that true celebration had to come from ‘me’ first and that it really had nothing to do with others at all or what was going on around me. I’m still working on this, but I am more and more often able to appreciate and celebrate myself just because I am ‘me’!
I love every line of this blog Clare, it is so delightful.
“With the love and support of Universal Medicine, the simplicity of feeling who we are at heart is on our doorstep, if only we choose to open this door and let love in”. We can keep this door open all day, it is just a simple choice. Thank you Clare.
An absolute Joy to read. After a talk by Serge Benhayon yesterday I was trying to figure out what confirming myself was all about. I feel like I know it but my mind can get in the way of that knowing quite easily. I have a better understanding now, it’s how you are with yourself and enjoying that as you, Clare, have clearly expressed. Spending a few more minutes in bed feeling how gorgeous and warm you are. Appreciating how you put yourself to bed and how the day is full of opportunity to be that gorgeousness in action.
Waking up with me, going to bed with me, spending the day with me all ways – nothing less than pure joy.
Gorgeous reminder to enjoy being me today and everyday. Thank you!
Clare. how beautiful to wake up to Love as you describe, and I feel, when I read your sharing. We can aspire to do this every day by feeling our inner beauty and getting in touch with that when we wake every morning, start the day with a spring in our step
What a beautiful blog to remind us of what is possible when we connect to the love we are and all around us… then cherish, honour and live that in all we do.
The choice is ours – wake in the amazing beauty and love we truly are and spend the day celebrating that or not. Thanks Clare.
Thanks Clare for the simple and joyful reminder to wake up with me each day.
What a gorgeous blog!! I love how amazing you feel that you can mistaken just any day for christmas or your birthday.. I have felt that before and sometimes I wake feeling amazing and not knowing what day it is but just saying to myself.. today is amazing because I am going to live in it!
What a joy to read. So simple, yet powerful and heart warming. If we can all wake up feeling this way every morning, how playful, joyful and fun would everyone be? Awesome reminder for me to let love in and experience the joy of being who I am.
“With the love and support of Universal Medicine, the simplicity of feeling who we are at heart is on our doorstep, if only we choose to open this door and let love in. A love that is not scary, it is strengthening; a love that does not pretend, but only asks you to be more, when you are ready. A love that says, life is joyful, come play with me!”
This is so beautifully expressed and very inspirational Clare, thank you.
Receiving the gift that keeps on giving every day 😉
Amazing how we can give ourselves a constant christmas gift in just being connected to the amazingness that is within us.:-)
Isn’t it funny how we often reserve this amazing feeling for only special occasions? Why hold back when we can feel like this everyday? I am certainly working on making my everyday to be fully connected to me and to be love and to let love in.
Gorgeous – Clare. I can feel the joy just bubbling away.
This is God’s simplicity! Thank you for this crystal-clear expression.
Thank you Claire, love the simplicity of this blog and feeling the joy of being me.
Such an inspiration to read. For a moment there it felt like Summer, and it’s the middle of winter, in Melbourne!! Keep bringing the love please Clare.
Your blog is such an inspiration and it is very beneficial to read that we need only us to feel amazing.
Beautiful Clare. The simplicity of feeling joyful beams from the page.
agree…this is a lovely story…both simple and joyful
Absolutely agree Joel, I am loving the simplicity and joyful expression of this fine story.
How beautiful Clare. So true that we naturally wake up in this joy as children, but as we get older and experience life’s hurts, we have a tendency to hide under the covers! As you’ve demonstrated – that doesn’t need to be the case! We can stay connected to the joy of us, always.
So cute and play-full Clare. And what a joy to wake up to this one – like each day is another day to play, smile and enjoy bringing our all to the world.
What a beautiful and inspiring blog; I have a big smile in my heart and on my face from reaading it.
A gorgeous flow to life, making those hugely simple choices
Clare- What a beautiful reminder to wake up and appreciate the divine connection of love that we are from- and from that knowingness express fully who we are, wherever we are!
This is gorgeous Clare what a wonderful way to live our days waking up in the glory of who we are!
“What a joy it has been and forever will be, if I continue to choose to wake up with Me”. This is so true and feels so full.
I’m with you Johnathan, Clare’s blog says so much so simply.
When i am asked if I live on my own, I always reply no – I live with me!
What a joy to read your blog this morning, Clare. Such a lovely way to start my day and an awesome reminder for me to feel ‘me’ first in all that I do during my day. To appreciate the love, joy and beauty, in me. Thank you.
I love this awesome reminder too. A beautiful blog to be reading this morning and starting my day with reminding myself to stay connected and to be gentle.
Beautiful reminder, to come back to me and be with me. This is a great way to live each moment being with the self.
What an amazingly beautiful and simple expression Clair. ‘All of this is life and I choose to wake up with me’.
Absolutely Clare, this is a Love worth celebrating.
Today – another day to open the door to love, let it in, and go out to play.
I love this – ‘Today I will play, with life and with me, to enjoy the sun, the birds, the builders next door and the work that needs to be done, for all of this is life and all life has its place’.
ALL of this is Life, all of it…..thankyou for the reminder to play with it….ALL of it….ALL that needs to be done!
I am love, I am Awesome and I can choose to meet me every morning with Joy and play with life and ALL it brings.
I always have that choice. If life feels like a struggle and hard, then I have also made the choice for it to be that way.
It is up to me….I am responsible for how I feel and what I bring to ALL in each and every day and with awareness and understanding I can bring love and joy. How wonderful is that.
Not needing it to be Christmas or a Birthday to feel the LOVliness of me. Just knowing that I am always available, each and every day.
It is the joy in it that makes the difference: no short-lived excitement or euphoria, but an effortless, deep and timeless joy with a magical playful note that most of the time is only seen in children. It is heaven on earth to connect back to that which we all knew as children :o)
Awesome Michael, brilliant observation and so true. Children are naturally joyful and so are adults but we tend to suppress joy or get it knocked out of us through behaviours and life choices. It is through the teachings of Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine that I am learning to connect to my joyful and playfulness self.
Awesome Clare, what joy to hear you express what love you share with us all, it is deeply felt.
How amazing, and how simple. Thank you for the inspiration.
What a deliciously beautiful way to wake up Clare, and can we also have these moments throughout our day?
This is a lovely celebration of going to bed and waking up with All of Me. It’s great to appreciate this, I hadn’t thought of it like that before, thank you very much Claire
Yes, Clare’s blog is simple and beautiful.
Dear Clare, what a gorgeous blog. I love how another’s reflection and words can equally allow us to feel the joy in ourselves, this simply confirms the truth that we all come from the one and same divine source.
So true gylrae, I feel this too. We are so deeply connected and to allow ourselves to feel this truth is absolute joy.
I had the same feeling this morning when walking: like it was my birthday or something awesome was going to happen today…. And ‘all’ is was, was me walking with myself, feeling connected to myself, to nature and to God. What other present could I want?
I had this same feeling today too Monika R. I woke up feeling cosy and warm and realised my alarm had not gone off yet. I jumped out of bed with joy, to be early, to read this these comments and it gave me the inspiration to write this one and a few others.
Oh Clare that is a glorious article. I could literally feel the sun rise in my chest as I read it. Really thank you.
Beautiful Clare. How lovely to wake in this way and enjoy what another day holds.
I am going to bed with me tonight and will wake up with me tomorrow. Lucky me, I have a double bed, so more space for me!
I love the joy and playfulness that is radiating from your comment Mariette Reineke. Thank you for lighting up my day.
Thank you Clare – a beautiful reminder to wake up with me everyday.
Connecting to that inner glow is like being a child at Christmas when the door was opened and the Christmas tree and presents were there in all their magnificent splendor. There is awe and amazement, but above all stillness and joy and a mood of a very deep celebration.
And more so michaelkremer2212 – because it can be everyday, and sounds like it is for you. Christmas comes but once a year, happiness comes and goes and shares its spectrum with sadness, and the possibility of oscillation between the two, whereas the joy you describe just is, endlessly so, no elation or elevation, just rich and deep and confirmed connection.
And it is that inner glow that people really can feel not only when they are with us but even when they think about us. Christmas is only one day, why not celebrate that same feeling by turning up our own light and sharing our glow with everyone all day everyday?
A beautiful celebration of Me. I too will go out and play. Thank you Clare.
Waking up with me … Oh what a joy this is … Simply exquisite as is you gorgeous blog Clare. Thank you for spreading the love.
I play with life every day.
If I am truly with me nothing else matters as all else will be taken care of.
Your comment says it all michaelkremmer2212, when I matter enough to be truly with myself, and let go of outside influences and inner expectations, life flows in the most amazing way.
Simply true michaelkremer2212
How beautifully expressed Clare- the joy of waking up to ourselves in our fullness is indeed something to be celebrated.
How beautifully expressed Clare- the love, divine beauty and joy that we are within can indeed be celebrated daily, when we lovingly care for ourselves and appreciate the divinity that we are from.
great Clare, I love what you share, Life is a joy when we don’t hold back and be all we are.
What a glorious read! I can wake up with me and also put myself to bed. The simple loveliness of this is a great reminder of letting go of everything that’s not me.
Feeling ourselves like that is utmost celebration and total stillness at the same time – this must be what eternal beauty feels like.
Good morning. How empowering it is to hear that we can have all the love we have ever wanted or craved, simply by choosing it, and that it is as simple as how we put ourselves to bed and how we wake up in the morning. It is real magic!
How we live the day before is definitely the key to how we are when we wake up every day. If we have lived the day lovingly, gently, in appreciation of ourselves and with awareness, then taken ourselves to bed early with tenderness, the night is restful and we wake up in that same energy, with every day a birth-day.
Short, sweet, simple and powerful – a joy to read and a great reminder of how we can all be – and also a nudge to remind me the joy I know and can wake up in the morning with too. It’s all a choice.
Just the fact that someone is writing “..it is not Christmas, it is not my Birthday – I have simply woken up with Myself, in all the beauty that I am”, then surely people should be clawing for the phone to ring and ask how? Why this isn’t the case for everyone, is answered for us often very slowly, but also very surely.. Though, I must say, reading blogs like this helps! Thank you.
A beautiful expression and reflection of the divinity of our love that awaits us, as it is us, every day. Thank you Clare for this joyful reminder.
I love this line “With the love and support of Universal Medicine, the simplicity of feeling who we are at heart is on our doorstep, if only we choose to open this door and let love in.”
And gosh that is our choice isn’t it – in every moment we have the opportunity to let love in or keep it out.
Yes sarahflenley every single breath we make a choice.
So simple and yet so profound! It can be so easy to make our lives too complicated. When really Clare the simplicity of what you’re experiencing is available to all of us. You made a choice and you are celebrating and appreciating the truth and beauty of YOU. What an inspiring choice.
When I read this sweet description of you waking up with so much joy, it’s impossible not to smile and feel the same true joy within me, thank you Clare. So many people look out of the window and feel miserable because it’s cloudy or raining, when the joy is waiting inside us all.
Thank you Clare, this is just gorgeous! It is beautiful to feel that through appreciating this feeling, you confirmed yourself and felt joy-full.
Waking up feeling the warmth, space, silkiness and joy in my body makes me go yes, what’s next!
Sparkling reading this again! True joy comes from within. And once felt, what you have shared – you will never get back to want anything less*
Thanks Clare for the reminder of the joy that is this life.
An absolute delight to feel the joy in this article and your joy in waking up being you! What a celebration.
Yes, I never would have thought I could feel so great in my body. This feeling has nothing to do with exercise or anything, but it’s a feeling of unity with all, I am not separated from what is outside of me. Wonderful.
Gorgeous Clare and we have the keys to unlock our endless supply of love. Why not throw away the keys and keep the door wide open and let love shine through endlessly for all.
What a exquisite and tender sharing Clare, our life’s are s simple it is an absolute joy and I feel such grace and a yummy feeling in my body when I simply choose to go to bed and wake up with me, deeply connected to my body.
More confirmation, that being joyful starts with a choice to accept oneself in full. Not easy when the opposite has been our truth for so long, but I know it’s lying just underneath the surface of the protective layer, busting to get out!
Thank you Clare for sharing your joyful morning. Instead of getting out of bed straight away and starting my day, I’m going to take a few minutes to appreciate me.
Clare, thanks for your simple message about love – both allowing it in and sending it out. Something to treasure as I go about my day – thank you!
Love this blog. Simple and true. Each morning I wake-up and say to myself something similar: ‘Today, this day is about me being with me’. Sometimes I work on Saturdays and often with a little bit of the ‘weekend’ consciousness, it’s a day I let myself be more with myself (taking the time, enjoying the people, enjoying the scenery as I drive). Now, many days of the week, regardless of the day, it feels more and more like these Saturday work days and I know the more I connect with and allow me to be me, that everyday of the week will be filled with the joy of spending it with me too.
It’s your birthday everyday with something to celebrate YOU
Thanks Clare , for your reminder of the simplicity of live when we are with ourselves, so much to feel and enjoy.
Love asks no more than we be the everything we already are. Good morning indeed Clare, I join you in this salutation of light.
Simply beautiful Clare. This blog says it all in so few words. The playful joyful warmth of us, yes absolutely this is love. You inspire me to appreciate this yumminess, to the max.
What if there would be a way that everybody in this world could wake up like you just did? And what if that way would be the way of truth and love? And what can we do to inspire everybody that it is possible? The first step was made: you just expressed that it is possible! To love to go to work, to love to wake up in the morning, to love yourself, to love going out saying hi to everybody.. Amazingly beautiful!
Absolutely Christina, what would the world be like if we all woke up like that? One day we will know, as this is our destiny and our evolution, nothing less, claiming and living the love that we are reflecting that back to each other constantly.
We would set a lightening fire in the universe – how colorful and bright this will be!
We can be our own gift everyday! Truly beautiful 🙂
Well said Steffi; it’s our choice what we bring to ourselves and from here, what we are bringing to everybody we meet.
This is gorgeous Clare – what a lovely and simple reminder how amazing it is simply to wake up and be with ourselves.
I loved this Clare. It gave me the sense of everything being connected and working in sync together. Great feeling.
A beautiful expression of the joy of life.
This is such a lovely reminder of what love is and how it’s just simply playful. ‘A love that is not scary, it is strengthening’, I love that you wrote that.
Clare this is a wonderful reminder of how simply joyful life can be. A true respresentation and celebration of how life can unfold so beautifully when we are expressing from our inner heart. Thank you.
I could not help but feel the lightness and joy you inspire Clare. You are a light that truly brings a lot more light to the day.
Clare thank you for your joyful reminder to wake up feeling all of the love that we are.
What a gorgeous blog Clare, I can feel the sparkle and joy of life in it, it sparked in me a simplicity and playfulness for the day ahead.
Thank you for sharing your joyful morning Clare. It truly resonated with me that the way you put yourself to sleep at night is the way you will wake up. If you go to bed stressed you will wake up stressed, however if you wrap yourself up in love as you go to bed you will wake with love. I have experienced both ways of going to bed, and waking up. I am choosing love more often these days and it is definitely better to wake up with.
Clare your blog has a put a huge smile on my face. Yes, life is beautiful when we keep it simple, and lovingly care for ourselves and engage with life.
Yes Clare, life is that simple and beautiful. How do we get so confused and complicated?
Well good morning Clare. I love the last line, it rhymes, sounds such an amazing way to wake up. I have found that how I am before I go to bed drastically changes how I feel when I wake up. It’s interesting to note that we affiliate these type of feelings with a ‘special’ day like birthday and Christmas instead of seeing it as the norm and it coming everyday.
Gorgeous Clare – feeling the amazingness of you upon waking up as a result of the choices that you have made the week/day/night before, all ready to embrace the new day ahead.
Yes Donna, this is taking true responsibility for the quality we bring; to ourselves first, and from there to everybody. All it takes is to choose to live life from that connection to our innermost, going to be with that, and therefore waking up with that, with all of us.
That is so awesome. Feeling the sun shining ( on the inside) and being open and refreshed to the day ahead, that is a beautiful way to wake up in the morning. It is so awesome. What I love about things in life is when they are simple, and to have that everyday would be the best thing ever. And then to have that quality magnifying with every next step, would pure heaven on Earth. Thank you for sharing
Gorgeous Clare and Harry.
It’s not what your day brings to you, but the love that you bring to your day that matters… and with a start like this, it’s sure to be absolutely amazing.
What a delight to read, claiming the true joy-full essence of who you/we are, thank-you Clare
Thank you Clare for sharing this simplicity of life, just waking up with you and feeling glorious.
‘A love that does not pretend, but only asks you to be more, when you are ready. A love that says, life is joyful, come play with me!’ Beautiful.
I love that feeling of waking up with myself, and having a self-hug before we (me and myself) go about our day. And then, day done, slipping into bed, myself still with me to reflect on the fun we’ve spread around.
I read your blog Clare in the early morning as I embark on the beginning of my day. A joy to feel and an inspiration to appreciate and celebrate all that I meet today. Thank you!
This is gorgeous Clare ‘Feeling the joy I felt as a child, feeling the glow of the day dawning, feeling my heart sing within my chest, feeling how, as I lay myself to rest so lovingly the night before, I have woken refreshed, inspired and divine.’ Every time I lay myself to rest in this quality I am guaranteed to wake in love. 🙂
Clare! This brought tears to my eyes. I watch this happening to my son every morning and am inspired to tap into the same awesomeness. Particularly tuning in to the quality with which you support yourself in this – ‘I lay myself to rest so lovingly the night before’. MY heart is singing too.
This is being in love with yourself! Which is giving birth to yourself every morning. Happy Birthday, Clare!
“Today I will play, with life and with me, to enjoy the sun, the birds, the builders next door and the work that needs to be done, for all of this is life and all life has its place.” – Thank you Clare for the reminder to appreciate everything in life.
Clare so beautifully expressed. Thank you for sharing your joy and the simplicity of life.
Thank you Clare for this great description of how it feels to be with ourselves. I love your playfulness.
How crazy it is that we have to be reminded of the love we all felt as a child. It is certainly a tragedy that we seem to consider losing the wonder of being as an inevitable fact of growing up into adulthood.
I love that you have taken the time to write and share this incredible start to your day.
For many this would seem impossible unless they had won a million dollars – but what you share is a much more simple, obtainable option
Clare, I am with you in the joy I feel inside reading your blog. This joy inside connects us with God and all the magic God brings.
Thank you Clare I feel the joy in you and I reconnect to the joy in me. I had a very playful day yesterday, but I allowed myself to get concerned later on and that affected how I was last night – and I was a little too serious this morning. This blog is a great reminder to stay light. Thank you.
your blog made me smile- I could really feel how you felt and I can relate to feeling like this too in the morning 🙂
I just read this blog again and found myself singing your last line “What a joy it has been and forever will be, if I continue to choose to wake up with Me” and then skipped into the kitchen for a cup of tea with gorgeous me 🙂
How delicious it can be to put ourselves to bed so lovingly Clare, and to wake to our love and warmth and joy – I intend to be more mindful of how I put myself to bed, and to give myself a precious moment to tune in before getting out of bed.
A wonderful reminder that if we put all of us to bed we wake up with all of us.
Gorgeous blog Clare. The warmth and delight you feel and have shared is inspirational. Thank YOU. 🙂
Such a great reminder Clare, that who we truly are is already there inside, just waiting, and we can know this ever more deeply by surrendering to Love.
I could feel the joy and delight in just being in your blog. This is something I can remember feeling constantly as a child and know it to be the real me. It is gorgeous to wake up loving being you and feeling the opportunity to take all of that delight into the world.
I love rereading this blog Clare, it brings me back to knowing that feeling within myself also. It warms me and makes me smile. Thanks again.
Waking up with me, and enjoying that, a loving reminder!
Clare I love your little blog full of truth and love, makes me feel the joy of waking up with me.
Clare, thank you for this incredibly beautiful blog which is so inspiring with all this deep amazing joy that you are and share.
Mmmmm going to sleep with me and mmmmm waking up with me, it doesn’t get any yummier than that.
Clare it is so beautiful to read of the joy you experience when you wake up with yourself. It is inspirational to know waking up this way every day is actually a very real possibility. What better way to start the day than reveling in one’s joy of self.
I feel inspired Clare. Thank you.
True quality of living is when we can embrace ourselves in full awareness and knowing that we are life – “Today I will play, with life and with me, to enjoy the sun, the birds, the builders next door and the work that needs to be done, for all of this is life and all life has its place.” Beautifully expressed.
When you love life, life loves you back.
Can I have this printed on a mug please Bernard. It would suit the flavour of my morning brew.. Love is just so darn quotable!
So true Clare that the way or quality we put ourselves to sleep, is the quality with which we arise the next morning. Complete the day with love, awake the next day in all love’s glory.
Thank you Clare, what a refreshing article…and timely as i too woke up feeling this again. What a way to start our day…Good night!
Thank you Clare, this is a very true reminder to live every day the same. Feeling the joy presented in your blog is fantastic.
Absolutely gregbarnes888. Every day can be full of this joy if we so choose it to be. The sun does not stop shining because a few clouds get in the way and hence, we are the makers of our own weather and we live this every day.
Such a beautiful sharing Clare, thank you. I can feel the joyful celebration of how it feels to be in full loving appreciation of who you are and the builders next door. To read this for the first time this morning is very confirming of the divine plan.
“This morning as I woke, I felt – ah… is it Christmas, is it my Birthday? Then I realised, no, it is me!” What a delight to read your very first lines Clare – and how beautfully it describes your love of You.
What a beautiful way to wake up Clare. Feeling the simplicity and love of this being my every morning…WOW!
Oh Clair, what joy your joy has brought me. After reading your blog I feel immense appreciation for myself, and what love I bring to my life. Thanks for deepening my appreciation of how amazing this life truly is.
Hi Clare thank you for your blog it is truly a joy to wake up with your self and lovely to know the day is there to play in.
Clare it is an absolute joy that you did indeed open your door to love . Thank you.
How beautiful it is to just be ourselves.
Absolutely beautiful, there is nothing like it.
Amazing blog Clare, and I agree Life is there to play every day! Thank you for sharing this
Awesome Blog Clare, A great reminder how great we all are and worth to celebrate everyday.
Mm so yummy Clare. Lovingly caring for me cannot but be expressed in living my days. The playfulness, lightness, stillness and joy that is there is never ending. Sometimes my life is not always like this. What I am learning though is that if it is not, then somewhere along the course of my day I have left me behind. Oops, I then reconnect and again feel the instant stillness and strength this brings. Mm yummy.
Feels gorgeous Clare. I love this reminder that who we are at heart is right there waiting if we choose to let love in.
Thank you Clare – I really enjoyed reading your blog – and just by reading the light and joy filled words of your expression I felt me more – lovely.
What a joy it has been and forever will be, if I continue to choose to wake up with Me. I will join you and play with you all day, your blog gave me a smile inside out.
How gorgeous, I too love that most yummy of feelings when I am connected to me. I find that love does not ask me to be more, but always calls me to be the more that I already am… a constant every developing expansion that is about returning to what I already am and not going anywhere!
So true Nicola, we are returning home to love – the love that we all naturally are.
Love this Nicola, “Love does not ask me to be more but calls me to be more” so powerful and unimposing
This is a beautiful inspiring blog Clare. I Quote “This is me”, “This is Love”. “With the love and support of Universal Medicine”, “if only we choose to open this door” . . . and I would like to add . . . ‘to god.’
This is beautiful Clare. Let’s all celebrate being “Us” together!
Hi Clare, so beautifully expressed, exquisite! Thank you for sharing.
Yes, Clare, it is really beautiful
Thank you Clare this is the perfect blog for me today as I too woke up feeling the yumminess of Me! I agree sleep is so connected to the way you wind down and prepare yourself for sleep the night before. Today I too will play with life and as a result let more love in and feel the love inside me expand.
It is amazing to wake up feeling so awesome , and I can relate to this .Its like you say Clare and relates totally to how I have been with myself , the care and time taken to honour me in the time and days prior.
I could so relate to this when I read it Clare. I love when I wake up all warm and lovely and just feeling so beautiful. Every cell and particle feels like there is a sparkle of love in it as it goes about the body readying it for the day ahead. As you say, it does depend on how we put ourselves to bed each night, a constant reminder to stay with ourselves and in our rhythms. Lovely.
“Today I will play, with life and with me” – this is an awesome reminder for me going into a day where time limits and outcomes are prescriptive – there is still time for me.
Awesome Clair, I could feel your joy spilling out over the words as I read them, what an amazing way to start a day. And thank you for the reminder that love is simple and love is easy if we choose to feel it.
Thank you Clare, refreshing and lovely in its simplicity and delightfullness, just as you are.
I shall take myself to bed even more lovingly tonight because of you.
A playful, inspiring blog Clare. Thank you.
Gorgeous expression. Thank you, Clare, for reminding us that it really is a simple choice and I miss waking up like that.
Good Morning : )
This is gorgeous to read, especially after feeling this morning how I have not been appreciating or allowing myself to feel all of me .. the love, joy and playfullness within but choosing and eating foods that numb this. With the support of another I have been able to make a very clear choice of ending this cycle and choosing another that truly supports me and allows me to feel all of that.
Thank you for sharing the gorgeousness of You : ) xx
Love the sweetness you are sharing Clare and the joy in simply being you.
Clare the joy is just bursting forth in your words. A beautiful reminder that we can experience the wonder we did as children simply by reconnecting to who we truly are – love. I also love the reminder that we can take the joy and playfulness to everything we do.
Thank you Claire, I love the way you write and what a great reminder of the joy we felt as a child and the wonderment of what the day was going to bring.
