Part II of the Book
Where Did You Come From?
It is perhaps the most fundamental question a human being can ask: Where did I come from? Not merely in the biological sense - the meeting of sperm and egg, the division of cells, the formation of organs ... but in the deeper, more mysterious sense. What called you into being? What force, what longing, what creative impulse drew you from the vast field of potential into the specificity of this body, this family, this life?
In Part II of Elevating Your Origins to Love, Susan Drury guides you into the sacred territory of conception - a area that most healing approaches overlook entirely. She invites you to consider that your journey did not begin at birth, or even in the womb, but in the mysterious moment when consciousness chose to take form. This is not religious dogma. It is an invitation to explore the deepest dimensions of your own origin story with wonder, curiosity, and love.
Susan explores the circumstances surrounding your conception - the state of your parents' relationship, the emotional climate of the time, the wanted or unwanted nature of the pregnancy - and reveals how these earliest conditions created imprints that still influence your sense of belonging, your worthiness, and your fundamental relationship with being alive. Through guided processes and meditations, she helps you revisit this sacred threshold and bring love to whatever you find there.
The Confirmation of Your Existence
Susan writes movingly about the moment of confirmation - when the pregnancy is discovered and the world responds. Was there joy? Fear? Shock? Disappointment? The emotional atmosphere surrounding this confirmation creates one of the earliest energetic imprints we carry. A child conceived in love and welcomed with delight carries a different foundational vibration than a child whose existence was met with anxiety or ambivalence. Neither is better or worse - both carry gifts and challenges. But understanding this imprint is essential to understanding the patterns that have shaped your life.
"Where did you come from? This is not merely a question about biology. It is an invitation to explore the deepest mystery of your existence - the moment when the infinite chose to become finite, when consciousness chose to take the form of you."
Through a series of guided reflections, Susan invites you to explore what you know - and what you sense - about the circumstances of your own conception. She encourages you to approach this exploration not with judgment but with the same wonder a child brings to a mystery. What was happening in your parents' lives? What was the world like? What energies were present at the moment you were called into being? And most importantly: what gifts were encoded in those very circumstances that you have yet to discover?
This section of the book also explores the creative, dreaming, and drawing processes that Susan uses in her healing work - inviting the unconscious mind to reveal what the conscious mind may not yet be ready to see. Through these gentle, non-verbal processes, patterns and insights emerge that can illuminate the deepest layers of our origin story. It is healing work that honours the mystery while providing practical tools for transformation.
Exploring the Territory of Conception
The Calling Into Being
Before biology, there is mystery. Susan invites you to consider the spiritual dimension of your conception - the creative force that drew you from infinite potential into the specificity of this life. This perspective opens a doorway to profound self-acceptance and wonder.
The Imprint of Welcome
How your existence was received - with joy, surprise, fear, or ambivalence - created one of your earliest energetic imprints. Understanding this imprint helps explain deep patterns around belonging, worthiness, and your fundamental relationship with being alive.
Creative Healing Processes
Susan's guided drawing, dreaming, and writing processes invite the unconscious mind to reveal what lies beneath conscious awareness. These non-verbal tools are remarkably effective at illuminating the hidden dimensions of our origin stories.

Learn More About SusanFrequently Asked Questions
Can I really be affected by events around my conception?
Yes. Research in prenatal psychology and epigenetics increasingly supports what healers have long known: the emotional and energetic environment surrounding conception and pregnancy creates imprints that influence development. Susan's approach works with these imprints compassionately and practically.
What if I don't know the details of my conception?
That is perfectly fine. Susan's guided processes work with what you sense and feel, not just what you know factually. The body carries its own memory, and the creative processes in the book - drawing, dreaming, writing - can reveal insights that the conscious mind may not hold.
Is this a religious perspective?
No. Susan's exploration of conception as a sacred journey is spiritual but not religious. It draws on the Tao Te Ching, quantum perspectives, and her own healing experience. It is an invitation to wonder, not a doctrine to believe.
How does this connect to the rest of the book?
Conception is Part II of the book's seven-part journey. It follows the neuroscience foundation of Part I and leads into the birthing process, infancy, childhood programming, and ultimately the practice of elevating to love. Each part builds on the last.
