In this tumultuous time, many of us want to help alleviate the Earth’s hurt, but think we aren’t good enough to make a difference. This book dissolves that fear to whisper in your ear “Self-compassion is a force of ecological healing.”
Far from seeing us as an ecological burden, the Earth is continually encouraging us to see our goodness— because it is only through self-acceptance that we can claim our part in catalyzing true healing in the world.
From the manatee-calm springs of wild Florida to the flower-dotted coves of the most biodiverse mountains in the world, this book is an encounter with the benevolence of the living world— and a nature therapy session for the soul.
Releases June 28th

There are many reasons someone might start believing they are not good. A sense of inner defect can expand malignantly with overt oppression, abuse, bullying, or neglect, but it can also grow subtly, fed from a million covert sources—from religious upbringings to social media. Most of us have had experiences in life that left us questioning our basic goodness, from not fitting in at school or failing to get affirmation from a parent, to experiencing a troll on social media or losing our jobs. For those of us who care deeply about social issues or the environment, simply looking at the reality of human-precipitated injustice can cause us to doubt not only our own virtue, but the basic goodness of humankind. At the center of many movements for repair is an implicit pessimism—an unspoken belief that humans, by our very nature, inevitably cause disharmony.
Even though I had come so far with my healing—from New York City to Appalachia, to the other side of chronic pain and down those first steps on my path as a teacher—looking into the mirror of that mica, I glimpsed the seed of my hurt. I saw the part of me that believed I was unworthy, unlovable, deficient, and hopelessly flawed—and I felt deep tenderness for this newly exposed piece of myself. I recognized with a shock how this belief in my own unworthiness was at the heart of all the hurt I experienced in my life, including my willingness to accept abuse, isolation, and overwhelm. I also recognized that I wasn’t alone.
Whether we realize it or not, many of us spend much of our lives thinking we aren’t enough. Underneath so many of the hardships we experience as humans is this erroneous belief. On a deep and very private level, we doubt our goodness, and that quiet worry is the very conclusion that has evicted us from our belonging—first to ourselves, and then to the Earth.
Before mirrored glass was invented, the only way we could catch a glimpse of our own image was through the natural world—calm waters, mica flakes, the onyx in someone else’s eyes. Though today we have mirrors, cameras, and selfies, we still lack the ability to see who we truly are. With nature, however, there remains a place where it’s possible to come into direct, caring contact with our soul. We need only look into the benevolent mirror of the Earth.
In healthy parenting, part of a caregiver’s role is to mirror their child. When children first begin to have an emotional experience of themselves as individuals, a parent’s job is to reflect these feelings, along with the child’s innate goodness, back to them so they can build self-worth along with necessary life skills. Many of us didn’t experience enough of this early phase of healthy reflection. But no matter what our family of origin was like, we all continue to have access to this essential source of nurturance, because nature is the parent-mirror that will never forsake us.
On a very tangible level, nature is our lifelong caregiver. It is the source from which our lives are made possible, a mirror here to help us when we have lost sight of ourselves. Whenever we peek out from our hard places and hiding spaces, nature will reflect back to us the depth of our goodness—not because the denizens of nature are objects onto which we project ourselves, or because the more-than-human world lacks its own personalities and sentience, but because the beings of the natural world are our kin, our elders, and our teachers. As Potawatomi author and botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer recounts in her book Braiding Sweetgrass, “In some Native languages, the term for plants translates to ‘those who take care of us.’” We are the youngest children of creation. When we see ourselves in the wider world, we remember who we are.
Asia Suler’s heart shines forth as she guides and inspires the reader to look inside themselves and into the mirror of Nature to deepen their compassion for themselves. Suler shares stories of her personal transformation, including the painful parts, with clarity, warmth, and vulnerability. This beautiful book ultimately invites the reader to see and experience how our individual healing brings healing to our world. Mirrors in the Earth is offered as an antidote for despair; it is grounded in ecology and the author’s love of the world.

Asia Suler’s exquisite ability to create rich and vibrant images with her metaphors placed me in the center of my belonging which felt like a homecoming.

Asia’s words are comforting and instructive in equal measure. Even in the darkest of times, her work has a way of illuminating the inner landscape and revealing to us a path where before there was none. Miraculously, she offers us not just stories, but spells, which weave their way through our world and leave our lives so much brighter than before. The book you hold within your hands is a true treasure whose gifts will live within you and guide you on your way long after you’ve turned the final page.
Sophia Rose
herbalist and writer
As someone who was projected onto more than mirrored as a child, it was so validating to hear Asia Suler speak about nature as our eternal mirror. She offers a unique glimpse into the journey that allowed this divine truth to move from being just an idea into something that is tangible, personal, and real for her. This book awakens us to the remembrance that a relationship with nature is both personal and universal at the same time.
Maryam Hasnaa At-Tauhidi
founder of New Earth Mystery School and Resonance Apothecary
Mirrors in the Earth is a book of hope in times that feel hopeless, a nature-blessed call to healing and sacred action. Asia’s gentle spirit shows us the way to transform and align ourselves, not separate from the world, but in service with the world. You will emerge from the ceremony of this book rewoven into the tapestry of nature, and deeply allied with our mutual healing.
