I was once asked: “Was there a time when you felt warm and yummy with a presence of stillness and the absence of anxiousness, seemingly not a care in the world, where every moment seemed magical? It might have been sitting on the beach as a young boy with friends – a joy to feel how lovely that moment is.”
How far are we from that loveliness that we need to numb ourselves from the very day we have lived? Remember when a day was so full of magic that at the end of that day there was no need to stay up later, as the day had a feeling of being complete. There was no way you wanted to numb yourself of such an amazing day and you looked so forward to closing your eyes and waking in that magic again. There was no need for coffee or any other reason to get through the day – you just wanted to be in the day. Tiredness was not present; vitality was in its place. There was an honesty in the fact that all we honestly had to do was to live in the true sense of the word.
When presented with this, we fall back into dishonesty and use excuses such as: “We are older now and with age vitality goes”, or “we have responsibilities now – I am a father, a businessman, a husband”, or “I have money troubles”, or “my wife has left me”, and so on and on.
We don’t seem to face the truth that every day is made up of moments that we get to choose how we wish to live. When did we choose to not live in the magic we know is there? When did we choose to be something we are not, to achieve something at the expense of our beautiful yummy bodies, that what we do as a job is more important and at the expense of ours’ and others’ lives, that we allow our hurt to make choices for us which keep us in pain and hardness walling us off from truth?
The warm yummy feeling I know of is love – the understanding that nothing is more important than my life and the life of others is also love – and to make choices in and with love is amazing. With such choices comes a joy to be alive and the awareness we are love and in essence we are all in this life together. Imagine if we took that magic into everything we do and express in a day – what would the day hold and what would our relationship with ourself and each other be?
This is the unfolding awareness that has come to light through my relationship with Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
The Truth about Serge Benhayon 
Where every moment is magical, that would be awesome, ‘Imagine if we took that magic into everything we do and express in a day – what would the day hold and what would our relationship with ourself and each other be?’
It is beautiful to hear a man express in this way – thank you Paul your reflection is very much needed to support other men to not hold back from expressing in this tender and gentle way.
Reconnecting to love within my inner-heart is to rediscover the meaning of true love and to know that is in me, through me and all around me as it is with everyone else.
Reading this I could feel the vitality and wonder I lived as a child. It’s deeply moving to feel as even though I do not feel this in my daily life now, I can feel it is still within my body. Yes its a memory, but it lives in me therefore it is still there – just buried under layers of needing life to give me something back. I’m pasting the whole paragraph here so I can reread with ease, “Remember when a day was so full of magic that at the end of that day there was no need to stay up later, as the day had a feeling of being complete. There was no way you wanted to numb yourself of such an amazing day and you looked so forward to closing your eyes and waking in that magic again. There was no need for coffee or any other reason to get through the day – you just wanted to be in the day. Tiredness was not present; vitality was in its place. There was an honesty in the fact that all we honestly had to do was to live in the true sense of the word.”
When we allow the magic and joy of love to guide our days it allows a wonderment and openness to occur so every step we take can literally be a new beginning.
I love the simplicity of what you have written, it allows the reader to come back to themselves and see stress and troubles are not actually part of our essence but something we create. Something I have been very much doing for most of my life but am starting to do less and less with the teachings and support of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
I love that Paul “When did we choose to be something we are not, to achieve something at the expense of our beautiful yummy bodies” Good question and why do we not hold steadfastly to knowing that yumminess, that light playful feeling we had when we were younger? I for one and going to choose a dedication to that!
It is a sad fact that we live so far from the loveliness and magic we once did… and yet somewhat empowering to know that is only just a choice to return to that by molding and embracing each moment of the day to be in the quality we want it to be.
Paul I went through a similar process looking at the way I was compared to the joyful me I had been, and they were poles apart, so with the support of an Esoteric Practitioner we unravelled the life that had taken over the person I clearly knew to be under the many layers. Its truly magic to feel me again and live with the responsibility of returning to my Love… moment by moment.
“We don’t seem to face the truth that every day is made up of moments that we get to choose how we wish to live.” This is a great sentence reminding us that it is our responsibility to be the love we are.
Paul you have spoken the truth, and it’s s truth we can all relate to. I do remember those days when everything centred around how great I felt, the purity of my essence expressing forth, and exploring the world with gusto. As adults we certainly do use excuses, “oh the freedom of being young”, yet we can still choose a magical and love filled life as an adult. Anything else is just a picture we’ve been sold. Thankyou for the inspiration of all you’ve shared.
Bringing love back into ones life is worth gold and Universal Medicine teaches how this can be achieved in full and more…
Thanks Paul, for reminding us of this place of vitality, joy and magic that we all had at one point in our lives. It seems we give up on ever feeling this again once we enter adulthood, but it is so worth it to look for this place again and claim it back into our lives.
Your description of just being in the magic of the moment and going to bed complete, vital the next morning just by being in the moment again, reminded me of how my early childhood felt. Not a care in the world. But yes, as we interact more and more with an unloving world, ‘we allow our hurt to make choices for us which keep us in pain and hardness’. Once we realise it is only ever about choice and that there are much more loving choices to be made, our life can begin to change – but only if we choose.
I first reconnected to the yummy feeling of love while sitting still with the Gentle Breath Meditation presented by Serge Benhayon and I knew that this love was what had been missing from my life.
I agree Joe it is beautiful to read what Paul has shared with us about the Power of Love and the Magic we can live and connect to everyday.
‘Remember when a day was so full of magic that at the end of that day there was no need to stay up later, as the day had a feeling of being complete’. There is so much truth in your words Paul. Thankyou for the timely reminder that the magic of life is all around us all day every day if we just choose to connect and appreciate it.
In response to your opening question Paul, I remember feeling that way as a child playing in my room but unfortunately the feeling was lost as I grew older. This blog is a beautiful reminder that we can all choose to reconnect to the yumminess of the love and tenderness we naturally are in all that we do everyday.
I think most people can relate to that question when they were a kid, but how many regularly have it every day as an adult if at all? It is absolutely possible to have it everyday, and I often feel that way, perhaps not so consistently yet, but I generally love getting into bed early at the end of the day, and can’t wait for the next day to begin wether it be a work day or weekend…
This is really beautiful!! Thanks Paul! The feeling of feeling a day complete, a body swimming in yumminess and love, very open and light is absolutely unique and at the same time so so natural.
Awesome Paul, I remember having lots of these moments when I was younger where a day was like a lifetime full of experiences.
So beautifully expressed, Paul. We are all looking for that yummy stillness in our lives, but don’t always make the choice to connect to that. We make everything else in life more important than how we feel – how amazing would life be if we did everything from that yummy stillness first – we do have a choice.
I find this so cool, how this is designed: “That we feel joy, when we express from our fullness, and that this joy divinely supports all around us”.
Beautiful Paul. What a joy to read and what a gorgeous reminder of how we can feel each day if we make that choice.
Yes it all comes down to the choices we make, which determine how we feel
Thank you Paul for making me smile imagining what life would be like if we all took that magic into everything we do and for reminding me that it is for us to choose if we want to.
A great reminder to see the magic in our days and bring ourselves back to seeing life through loving eyes. Thankyou Paul.
Thank you Paul for an inspiringly beautiful blog. It is magic when we realise that life can be whatever we choose when we begin to choose with responsibility and self-love. We become so distracted with what the world can demand of us that we forget to re-connect to that innate wisdom that is there for us when we are ready. Life is as simple as we choose to make it.
Love it Paul, definitely something I will ponder today (and beyond)
The first thought that came to mind was, ‘I can’t enjoy life in full as I am potty training our youngest child!’ Ha, I wonder how many other blocks to feeling the yumminess I can uncover & release today 😃
Thank you Paul, I love how you describe the yummy way of living a loving life. Living in this way has also become a reality for me since meeting Serge Benhayon, before that it was not my experience at all or something I could even imagine!
Paul, what a powerful blog in that you simply ask why are we not living all that we know we are. A great reflection on the choices that we make daily and that there is always an opportunity to choose to live in the love and joy that is our right to live. Thank you for highlighting and reminding us that we can choose, in every moment, love.
Thank you for the reminder Paul, that we can choose in every moment of every day how to be.
I remember reconnecting with that feeling when I gave up alcohol. It was quite clear to me at the time, as it is now, that when I was 10 years old I did not need it – so why now? This marker constantly reminds me of whether there is that innocence and joy, or if I have become affected by my day. And that there is always an opportunity to choose differently.
Thank you Paul for your delightfully magic blog. I love the way you recounted that key question…it was like I was the child on the beach, each day complete in itself with only vitality for the next to come. And yet, I gave it all away to ‘fit in’ with society and married life, becoming very dishonest in justifying my choices with excuses. I thought I had turned it all around, until I too, met Serge Benhayon and attended my first Universal Medicine retreat…..for then I met me too and the outer way I was living did not match the inner me that knew such contentment and natural vitality. After 5 years of regularly attending healing workshops, presentations and having sessions with Esoteric Practitioners, ‘life’ is now ‘Life’ and has become magical again for me, each day a wondrous reflection of all the Love and tenderness there is in the world and in me.
A beautiful reminder of the magic of love. Thank you for expressing it so well, Paul.
Paul this is a really beautiful blog to read and a refreshing way to approach life and everything in it. Something that is part of the foundation I want to take with me in all I do. Thank you.
A beautiful blog Paul, I love your question at the end, for us to take magic into everything we do and express in a day, would bring so much joy back to how we live our lives. A quality that is much needed in our world.
How lovely – “the warm yummy feeling I know of is love” – worth a second reading. Thank you Paul.
I was loving the blog up until I read that sentence, but once I read that it, it became beyond sublime. Yes of course, that warm yummy feeling is love, and put like that it is so much easier to accept that we are all love. As Paul reminds us here, we have all felt that warm yummy feeling, even if it is not a regular thing for us any more. Thank you for showing us that love is something that we know and can all relate to Paul.
Paul, you have offered an opportunity here for us to have love in our day, all day long, thank you.
