An invitation to see yourself differently
“What if your sensitivity isn’t something to overcome, but a finely tuned way of knowing?”
Harmonic Being: An Introspective Journey brings together one man’s story, elemental practices, inherited sensitivity, and witnessed encounters with UAPs and the unexplained.
Inside the book
Harmonic Being is Paul's account of perception, ancestry, breath and the living energy within us, with practical ways to find clarity in a noisy world.

The book
“If you have ever felt like a cuckoo in the nest, overwhelmed by the noise of a world operating on a frequency you were never designed for, this book is your permission to trust what you have always known.”
A memory that belongs to my father and me
Paul was a boy standing beside his father on a cold night. Their relationship left much unsaid, but together they watched three silent lights descend in a triangular formation, stop above the countryside, then shoot straight upwards.
“What I saw, I saw. What he saw, he saw.”
Paul still does not know what the lights were. What matters is that his father saw them too. He had spent the war scanning the sky as an RAF rear gunner and knew aircraft; the look on his face made the experience impossible to dismiss. In the book, Paul considers UAPs and older descriptions such as angels or spirits while keeping this shared memory at the centre.
From Harmonic Being: An Introspective Journey
In Sussex, Paul meets Miriam, a woman who teaches him that intention is not about controlling life, but learning how to take part in it.
“The book will speak to you in its own time,” Miriam said, standing in the doorway. “Don’t force it. Let the knowledge unfold like the tide coming in.”
Meet the author
Paul Marshall is an author and bodywork therapist. He works with the body’s energy field, known as the biofield. His writing draws on his own experiences, close observation and a longstanding interest in consciousness and sensitivity.
From an early age, Paul experienced heightened perception that he did not yet have the language to understand. A later diagnosis of ADHD offered one layer of clarity; a remarkable DNA discovery offered another. What once felt like difference became context, purpose, and a new way forward.
Today, Paul helps others reconnect with their own internal intelligence through energy alignment, presence, and awareness.
“Painting and writing begin in the same place for me: with close attention to what I see, what I feel, and what stays with me.”
Bodywork and energy therapy
Paul works with people who want greater clarity, a steadier relationship with their sensitivity, or a more grounded understanding of their own energy. Use the form to introduce yourself and say what you would like support with.

Reflections
Via a lens of origin, it becomes a personal responsibility as an adult to put effort into having a working knowledge of where specific symbolism and laws originated, by who, and for what reasons. We inform ourselves so we can make informed decisions.
Reflections
I had just had my evening bath. I could hear my mother in the bathroom next door, clearing up after my bathtime ritual.
Reflections
The universe gave us a compass, not in our pocket, but in our chest.
Excerpts from Harmonic Being: An Introspective Journey
I was not frightened. I was curious — unsettled in the way a child is unsettled when something falls outside the categories they’ve been given.

From the cover artist
Paul painted the cover of Harmonic Being: An Introspective Journey from a view near his home in Sitges. He also makes abstract landscapes inspired by Mediterranean light. These two are Reflections of Light & Place.

What readers are saying
Responses from professional reviewers, readers, and the people who have found something of themselves inside Harmonic Being: An Introspective Journey.
“This is a good book for encouraging exploration, wherever we are on our journey.”
Rebekah JorgensenReedsy Discovery
“This feels like an introspective journey rather than simply a book to finish. Paul's personal experiences give it a genuine and intimate quality. I like that the book invites curiosity rather than telling you what you must believe. It feels like a privilege to accompany him on the journey and perhaps discover a little more about myself along the way.”

“Brilliant and enlightening. I couldn't put it down. It makes perfect sense and makes you question your own senses.”
Richard CrossAmazon · Spain
“Mostly autobiography, part philosophy and part guide. The style is light hearted and easy to read, with some funny and touching moments. I found the meditation exercises very useful. They have helped me start a regular routine again.”

“I love reading this book. The stories combine with exercises to sharpen your own forgotten abilities. For me, the book was a hit.”
An VancoppenolleAmazon · Belgium (translated from Dutch)
“WOW. It’s really wonderful, uplifting, moving. Not only the stories you tell, but also how you tell it and how it connects together. It sort of reminded me of The Alchemist.”
