Seeking Love 💗
Deepak expresses the resonance of love in this video!

As Deepak Chopra says in the video link, ‘the emotion that people most seek is love.’ He breaks it down to Attention, Affection, Appreciation, and radical Acceptance!
I feel intrigued by this and how this authentic love can reduce inflammation in your body. Fun! 🤩 How amazing is it that authentic relationship with love is so potent that it can alter your body chemistry and heal?!
How are you affecting others? In a loving way? With attention, affection, appreciation, and radical acceptance? How about your most loved person? Or people? Or perhaps the harder to love people in your life?
I’m willing to commit to playing with this kind of love. A radical love!
Truly, I’m understanding that this type of love is a deeper form of love than I experienced as a child. My patterning from my mother and father is fragmented and broken. As a young child, as all of us do, I believed I was the reason most things happened.. my father left when I was two. I must have been wrong in some way. My mother was always looking to new boyfriends and ‘projects’ to ‘save’ .. I must have been bad and not enough for her to subject us to them.
Now I am unwinding all the threads of my patterning and sometimes I can’t take it. There are knots in it and at times these patterns are too tightly woven together. I don’t have the patience or energy.
It’s about loving myself. Giving myself the appreciation. The acceptance. The attention of others is very nice indeed and I needed to learn how and what I wanted as attention first. I did the hard ‘play’ on myself. First.
The radical acceptance? Well now.. that’s coming harder than expected. I am able to give myself grace. Like the nurse in the ICU told me when I was complaining about the nurse who had said of me..’ I always get the ones who don’t talk.’ When I was able to talk again I told the new nurse what she had said. I’ll never forget her response. ‘Give her grace, Dawn.’
I’m here to tell you all, if there are any of you struggling with any of these topics.. give yourself grace. I looked up what it means and it means ‘getting what you don’t deserve.’ The opposite of karma.
I say give yourself what you think you don’t deserve. Until you believe that what you don’t deserve was just a memory of a life long ago.


awesome 🔥 🔥.
Keep it Up.
Radical acceptance reminds me of those Japanese artists who repair broken pottery with gold (aka kintsugi). They don't hide the cracks... they celebrate them. When we love ourselves this way, all our broken places become the most beautiful parts. Luminous.
