Show notes
In this episode, I sit down with Asha, a modern priestess and founder of the Modern Priestess School, to talk about the significance of sacred spaces. Whether it’s a dedicated room, a small altar, or a special shelf, these spaces hold energy that can help us feel more grounded, supported, and connected. Asha shares how her childhood home was filled with intentional sacred objects and how that shaped her approach to creating altars today.We also discuss the different types of altars you can create—whether for meditation, manifestation, relationships, or honoring loved ones—and how even the simplest intentional acts, like lighting a candle or placing a cherished object, can shift the energy in your home. I share some of my own altar practices, including how I’ve created spaces for writing, relationships, and even fun! Plus, we talk about the importance of cleansing and refreshing these spaces so they continue to support you in the best way possible. If you’re looking for ways to bring more meaning and peace into your everyday life, this episode is for you!Key Takeaways🔹 Sacred Spaces Hold Energy: Whether big or small, intentional spaces help us feel supported, nurtured, and emotionally held.🔹 Altars Can Serve Different Purposes: You can create altars for relationships, work, healing, manifestation, or even fun!🔹 Objects Hold Meaning & Energy: The items we surround ourselves with impact our mindset and emotions, so choosing them intentionally makes a difference.🔹 Cleansing & Maintaining Sacred Spaces Matters: Refreshing your altar—by cleaning, rearranging, or making offerings—helps amplify its energy and purpose.🔹 Sacred Energy Travels with You: You can create sacred spaces even when traveling, and incorporating meaningful symbols into daily life can be a powerful practice.Resources Mentioned in This Episode:📺Watch the video of this episode at the blog: https://jodiaman.com/blog/sacred_space🌎Asha's website: https://www.ashaisnow.com/📖 The Priestess Code by Asha Ramakrishna: https://amzn.to/3CWQdaG Dr. Jodi Aman’s YouTube Channel: @DoctorJodiGeneration Z Mental Health Resource Guide: jodiaman.com/guideYour Soul Map: Liberation, Human Design, and the BIPOC Experience By Asha Ramakrishna https://amzn.to/3Da4y3r📚 Anxiety, I’m So Done with You! by Dr. Jodi Aman: https://amzn.to/3XkSgvZ 🎴 Redirect Positive Mindset Cards: jodiaman.com/order-redirect-flash-cards🎭 EnCompass SEL Class Activity: jodiaman.com/order-encompass-game🤍🤍 Follow Asha Ramakrishna on Instagram: @ashaisnowThank you so much for listening to Ask Dr. Jodi!
