Our conception, gestation, and birth form an unseen script for our lives. These earliest moments influence our beliefs, behaviors, and emotional patterns—often beneath the surface of our awareness.
Gently ask your parents, especially your mother, about the circumstances around your birth. Their memories, emotions, and perspectives—however fragmented—may offer important clues. Remember, approach with compassion. These memories may bring up guilt, shame, or love.
Sometimes, what we feel or remember doesn’t align with what we’re told. That’s okay. Memories are subjective. In the author’s case, her mother remembered a peaceful hospital birth; she, however, carried different emotional imprints. Both stories matter—and both have truth.
Even if we can’t consciously recall them, our earliest experiences leave energetic and emotional marks. They influence our self-worth, our relationships, and even how we handle success or failure. Becoming aware of these imprints is the first step in healing and rewriting our inner programming.
Your story began before you could speak. But you are the author now. As we explore the beliefs and patterns rooted in our beginnings, we can choose to transform them. This is a journey not just of remembering—but of reclaiming.
