What the Earth is Asking of You
I used to think it was never enough. The efforts I made to help the Earth. The things I did for others. What I had to give. This feeling of not-enoughness showed up in every area of my life. When I worked so late on the computer my eyes began to burn. Or when I said yes to more commitments than I could handle and ended up sick for days. Over and over again I would put myself last— because I truly thought this was the best way for me to make a difference in the world.
A lot of empaths operate like this. It seems to be hardwired into our system. And yet— one of the main reasons we come here to this planet, and sign up to be so sensitive, is to learn this truth: our individual existence is precious. It is deserving of reverence and respect. In the end, we don’t heal the world through self-sacrifice, but through self-acceptance.
The Earth is asking you to become a force of healing by learning this one essential thing— self-compassion.
Are you ready to let go of not feeling like enough? My new video will help you get in touch with the Earth so you can start embodying the brilliance of your gifts. (You’ll also learn why self-compassion is very literally the force that will heal our world— hint: it has to do with trauma).

Once upon a time I needed to hear the message in this video so much.
You belong. You are seen. Who you are is important. And your journey of learning self-acceptance is the gift you’re here to bring to this world.
This is exactly what my book Mirrors in the Earth is about. It’s a collection of stories from the living world, and from my own path, that illustrates just how natural your own journey is. And how much this Earth believes in your goodness.
Because when we can see ourselves with compassion, everything changes— including the trajectory of our world.
The book is officially releasing in two weeks and I can’t wait!
If you haven’t preordered yet, come nab your copy and claim these free bonuses before they disappear! (Including a whole class called Writing the Earth’s Voice where you’ll learn how to receive messages of comfort and support directly from the Earth).
P.S. Have you seen the Mirrors in the Earth book trailer yet? Someone on YouTube commented “Why am I crying??” after watching it. See for yourself why this video is bringing people to tears.
Can’t wait to see it! Thanks in advance. Hope you had a lovely time yesterday. (Just to let you know: I’ve reached the final chapter of your book, and it is SO powerful! I feel a radical change in perspective about our future arise and our part in it, and you are so right: thát is what magic is all about.) Greetje
Thank you so much for your kind words!! The energy of so many people connecting to their gifts and self-compassion is palpable. It’s an exciting time to be walking this path. Thank you for being here! Sending you blessings!
Thank you Greetje, I can’t tell you what this means to me. Thank you for the gift of this reflection today.
I’m already halfway your book, Can’t put it down. In this world of hurt, it’s a beacon of light. Thank you so much for shining. It’s most peculiar… I’m a Yaga / witch all my life, but somehow a tiny part in myself always said: you just have to be tough so you can help people in their hurt. But I’m not. I’m a HSP with chronic pain and just by reading your book, I finally realized it’s my vulnerability that makes my light truly shine. Can’t wait to attend your book presentation. I hope there will be a recording, since here in the Netherlands it’s in the middle of the night when you’re having your well deserved party ;). You go, woman!
Hugs from Europe, Greetje
Thank you so much Greetje. This comment absolutely made my day today. I really resonate with what you said about feeling like you need to be tough so you can help people in their hurt. I felt that in my whole body when I read it. And also that relief of realizing that our vulnerability is one of the biggest gifts we can bring to this world. It’s big. Thank you so much for being on this journey with me. And yes! There will absolutely be a recording. Can’t wait to send it your way!
I’m sitting outside on a beautiful cool day and watching the hummers feed and the blue jays argue with each other! Your latest blog brought tears! Self compassion, self care and “ being good enough” has never been in my vocabulary. I’m a Grammy and after years of sadness, PTSD, emotional trauma, I’ve decided enough is enough! After a bad nightmare about chaos last night, the truth hit me! Your blog of 6/15 woke me up! I am enough! I am deserving! Thank you! Your book will be pre-ordered TONIGHT!
Hi Susan, what a moving moment to share in with you—thank you so much for writing! I know that Asia will be truly touched to have connected in this way, and been a part of your awakening to your worth <3 You are so enough, and so deserving. With lots of love and hummingjay blessings for the new era to come, Shannon and the OWA team
Thank you so much for preordering, and simply for being here Susan. I so resonate with everything you said here and am deeply honored to be a part of your journey!!!
Hey what’s up. I preordered your book. As an empath myself, I am looking forward to hearing what it is that you have to share. As a man and an intellect, that is my perspective, the sacred masculine, so I appreciate this opportunity to hear teachings from a woman’s perspective, from the sacred feminine… much like the book “THE 13 ORIGINAL CLAN MOTHERS” by Jamie Sams. 🙂
Hey Josh, we’re glad to have you here, and to know you’ll be receiving a copy of the book! That’s awesome to be seeking perspectives from folks with different life experiences and perspectives, and we’re delighted to be a part of it. Thank you for adding to this space!
I finally got your book ordered TODAY!!! Wiishing you all the best!!!!! In every way!!!! Ruby Grace 828.768.0477
Yay Ruby!!! Thank you for the blessings, and for going on this journey with us!! With love and excitement, Shannon and the OWA team
You speak to my soul, I am so looking forward to connecting more to the earth and you through your book 🙂
Thank you Sarah for these words for Asia—she’ll be delighted to receive them! I’m so glad to know you’ll be a part of this book’s journey <3
Hi!
Trusting that this note finds you well! I believe I came to your info through Maryam Hasnaa. I’m a member of NEMS!
I wanted to let you know that I’m so excited to deepen my relationship with earth and the more than human realms, heal, create from inspiration ( as opposed to desperation), and come HOME!! I’m honored to get to know you and your work. Looking forward to the book!
Warmly,
Dameka Hayes
Hi Dameka!
I’m so delighted that you are here, and that you found me via Maryam (NEMS is so wonderful). It’s truly an honor to be here with you, and be walking home together 🙂 Thank you for your warm words about the book! Oh and I *love* that line…healing from inspiration rather than desperation. YES!
With heart,
Asia
