Elevating Your Origins to Love
A Guided Journey of Transformation, Healing, and Power
Do you think of your life as a mixed bag of random events that have shaped your human experience into an unpredictable hit-or-miss filled with periodic (or frequent) frustration, sadness, anger or regret? What if your life was actually a purposeful journey where each experience and exposure represents an opportunity which your body and mind is designed to use for your benefit and growth? What if you could turn any wrong, whether present or past, into a potent right? What if you could elevate anything from your life experience into a source of love? This book offers a variety of ways to understand our basic human blueprint and neuro-biological wiring, and how your original environment deeply affects the beliefs you come to have about so many aspects of yourself, others, and life. Although your perceptions seem to be concrete reality, by weaving the early years of the human experience - often through Susan’s own very personal stories - you will discover that many of your more limited perceptions are transformations-in-waiting. Because you are powerful with potentials far beyond your beginnings, you have the inherent ability to transform any of the so-called wrongs from your experience, into wise understanding. Your life journey is precious and potent. Within these pages, you will discover ways to love yourself beyond any feelings of trauma, disappointment, guilt, anger or regret you may still carry from your earliest years, and emerge free to express more of the unique and powerful person you came here to be. Within a loving, non-judgmental perspective, you are taken through different states of consciousness in order to understand your life as a journey offering continual opportunities of transformation, healing and power. As you are able to connect your deepest dots, both the past and present become transformed. Long-held limitations and pain, even those passed down through earlier generations, dissolve into joy and renewal. Not just a process of personal elevation, this book offers the potential of transformation for humanity itself.

I discovered this book “accidentally” when it popped up as a search result in Google for “The Origins of You” by Vienna Pharaon. I had read a chunk of “The Origins of You” and thought it was pretty great although it made me feel extremely heavy. I found that I couldn't handle it, so I put it down for another time. Noticing the energy I took on while reading Pharaon's book and doing the exercises was interesting and it led to some unexpected relational conflicts in my life.
Fast forward to opening up “Elevating Your Origins to Love” by Susan Drury and EVERYTHING shifted. Susan met me where my consciousness knew it was and wanted to be. It felt like she was actually with me, guiding me through areas of trauma and family dysfunction in a gentle and understanding way. I was coming from a strange place of complete disconnection with myself, the universe, and the world. As I began reading her book, I noticed that I started moving back into my heart space: the home within myself. I felt a layer of pain release spontaneously last night and an energy of hope rose up to greet me. I have been in a depression for most of this year so this sense of hope felt miraculous.
There have been so many books I have read about the mother wound and narcissistic mothers/family dynamics. They served me... until they didn't. I don't want to hold onto pain and blame. I don't need to rekindle a relationship with my mother or siblings physically, but I can do this energetically (as I have done since my father died while I was estranged from the family). Communicating from my highest self to their highest selves has been helpful but I still felt stuck in the muck of my thoughts. With Susan's guidance it feels like a new understanding has cracked open.
Since 2020, I have noticed that I tend to fluctuate from acceptance, compassion, and understanding to anger, resentment, and blame (for many things/situations); however, the time I spend in the latter does seem to be decreasing.
I can't heal my mother. I can't heal my brother. I can't heal my sister. This isn't my job and who am I to insert judgement onto their lives? I am learning to respect everybody's journey as I continue to navigate my own.
“We didn't come to these lives for a smooth ride, but to explore and evolve. When we accept our histories and experiences as being necessary friction for our transformation, nothing needs to be excluded.”
Susan Drury
Less exclusion, more inclusion.
A quote not from this book that aligns with my spirit:
“The way you break toxic ancestral patterns is not by running away from them. It's by walking back in their direction. Not because you want to keep repeating them, but because you recognize that the only way to truly shift them is to see them up close and heal them at their roots. It's okay to run from them for a time, but not for all time. Because the flight from what lives inside of you, merely delays your arrival. You think you are on the way to somewhere else, but the plane keeps circling your childhood home. It can't navigate a new flight path, until you return back to where you came from, and heal its broken wings.”
