This ancient wisdom is worthy of the modern woman and relevant to complicated, busy lives. Included are stories of 20 spiritual warriors who applied these Principles to their lives with transformational results.
"The Priestess Code is more than a book, it's an open door that welcomes women onto sacred ground. Asha Ramakrishna has a magical way of weaving together wisdom from history, our grandmothers, scholars, world renowned mystics, and spiritual traditions. She creates normalcy in the ebbs and flows of life, assuring us that shifts and seasonal changes within us are natural, normal, and part of our power. This book gave me a sense of peace when I read it. I highly recommend it for every woman who is willing to explore her intuitive, spiritual, sensual self." - Nancy Marmolejo, Founder: Talent and Genius(c)

"We are real and holy all at the same time. Know that you may say to yourself: I am a Priestess. A Priestess has no box." - Asha Ramakrishna
The Priestess Code is a path of balance, a path of awakening to the beauty of what surrounds you, and the beauty of who you are. Each Principle speaks a truth that is sometimes dormant inside us, and that is longing to come out and play, even when others do not understand. The Code is about your journey of exercising your Feminine Power and bringing harmony to a world that longs for it.
"The path of the Priestess is one of acceptance. Acceptance of life, acceptance of what is, acceptance of where we are. Deliberateness in the healing should be followed by the actions of creating a miracle filled life." - Asha Ramakrishna
This is the first book in a series dedicated to the Modern Priestess. Subsequent books will explore other Modern Priestess themes such as understanding your higher purpose and sustaining your soul's journey.
Buy now and gift your self, or someone you love, the discovery of the inner goddess, the divine priestess, the mother of self, family and humanity and start living the life you're longing.

Описание: The Wedding Date meets Class Mom in this delicious novel of love, money, and misbehaving parents. "Delightful . . . Hilarious, cringe-worthy, and all too relevant. I ate this book up like a box of candy; you will too." --Tara Conklin, author of The Last RomanticsAll's fair in love and kindergarten admissions. At thirty-nine, Josie Bordelon's modeling career as the "it" black beauty of the '90s is far behind her. Now director of admissions at San Francisco's most sought after private school, she's chic, single, and determined to keep her seventeen-year-old daughter, Etta, from making the same mistakes she did. But Etta has plans of her own--and their beloved matriarch, Aunt Viv, has Etta's back. If only Josie could manage Etta's future as well as she manages the shenanigans of the over-anxious, over-eager parents at school--or her best friend's attempts to coax Josie out of her sex sabbatical and back onto the dating scene. As admissions season heats up, Josie discovers that when it comes to matters of the heart--and the office--the biggest surprises lie closest to home.

Описание: In contemporary India, 12-year-old Asha will journey across the dangerous Himalayas to find her missing father and save her family's home -- guided by a mythical bird and a green-eyed tiger who she believes to be the spirits of her ancestors. This is an incredibly unique debut about loss, family, buried treasure, and hope. Asha lives on a family farm with her mother in rural India in the foothills of the Himalayas. Life would be perfect if her father were with them instead of working at the factory in the faraway city. But she knows they wouldn't be able to afford their home without the money he sends home. When four months go by without a single letter, a ruthless debt collector arrives with a warning, and soon the entire world that Asha has known is threatened. Determined to save her home, Asha and her best friend must swallow their fears and set out on a dangerous journey across the Himalayas to find her father. As desperation turns to peril, Asha will face law enforcement, natural disaster, and the wild dangers of the Himalayas. But with a majestic bird and a green-eyed tiger as her guides, who she believes to be the spirits of her ancestors, she's determined to keep faith in order to save her family.
