An awardwinning nature therapy session for the soulencounter the benevolence of the living world through 12 essays on the Earthhealing powers of selfcompassion and empathy.When healing is needed at the deepest level, nature will always call us back homenot only to the oak woods or waterfilled coves, but to the homes within ourselves.In a series of 12 lyrical nature essays, herbalist, writer, and Earth intuitive Asia Suler illuminates the healing power of the living Earthand gives us permission to nurture selfcompassion and empathy as forces for personal and ecological healing.In a time of unprecedented ecological devastation, its easy to feel hopeless and disconnected. Its easier still to mask our inherent goodnessto imagine that our unique and precious gifts simply arent enough, or forget the power of our inborn empathy. For those of us who are highly sensitive, innately attuned to the workings and whispers of the natural world, it can be hard to embody the belief that were enough as we areand that can heal the Earth.Here, Suler reveals the opposite: our goodness, our empathy, our intuitive connections, and our capacity for selfcompassion are more than personal traits or antidotes to despair: they are, in fact, our most potent vehicles for planetary transformation. And as we learn to more deeply nurture and accept ourselves, we unlock living, healing connections to Earth.Combining poetic nature writing with exercises and reflection prompts at the end of each essay, Mirrors in the Earth coaxes us to come as we are: to discover and tend the inherent brilliance and medicine that lives in each of us. From the manateecalm springs of wild Florida to the flowerdotted coves of the worlds most biodiverse mountains, Mirrors in the Earth is an invitation and encounter with the benevolence of the living worldand a nature therapy session for the soul.
