Sally Kempton Is a meditation teacher and author. As a young successful journalist and feminist living in New York in the early 70s Sally had an awakening experience after dropping acid for the first time. This got her interested in meditation and yoga and led her to become a monastic under the guidance of the Indian yogi Swami Muktananda For the next twenty years, she studied and practiced Hindu Vedanta and the north Indian tantric tradition of Kashmiri Shaivism, traveling and teaching with Muktananda and living in an ashram In 2002 she disrobed and took to creating new teaching paths which she considered more suitable for the 21st century, integrating neurobiology and psychology and working with likes of integrative philosopher Ken Wilbur Her teachings are based on Tantra, in particular deity practices involving deep and transformative visualizations, invoking and embodying the qualities of Hindu goddesses like Lakshmi and Saraswathi This style of visualization is common to most traditions but often involves male figures. Sally transformed this by focusing on the feminine energies instead She is the author of the books Awakening Shakti and Meditation for the Love of it and leads workshops worldwide I met sally at one her workshops in London which I signed up for after reading her book Awakening Shakti and she kindly agreed to a podcast interview You can find out more about Sally, her teachings and books, and so on at her website sallykempton.com Enjoy

This week's guest is Sally Kempton. One evening in the early 1970s, while sitting in her Manhattan living room, Sally Kempton experienced kundalini awakening. The experience lasted for 24 hours and turned her life around.At the time, Kempton had a flourishing career as a New York journalist, writing on popular culture, the arts, and feminist issues for Esquire, the New York Times, New York magazine, and The Village Voice. An early voice in the second-wave feminist movement, spirituality was the last thing on her agenda. But her experience that night affected her so powerfully that within a year she had given up her career to immerse herself fully as a student and teacher of spiritual awareness.Two years later, she encountered her Guru, the enlightened Siddha master, Swami Muktananda, and became his full-time student. Kempton studied and traveled with Muktananda from 1974 until his passing in 1982. She edited many of his books, received intensive training in the texts of Vedanta, yoga, and the north Indian tantric tradition of Kashmir Shaivism, and taught courses around the world. In 1982, Muktananda initiated her into the traditional Saraswati order of Indian swamis, or monks, and gave her the name Swami Durgananda. For the next twenty years, she served as a teacher in the Siddha Yoga meditation community. She created and taught workshops, courses and trainings in meditation and spiritual wisdom, served for a time as editor of the spiritual magazine Darshan, and wrote extensively on all aspects of spiritual life.Sally is also the author of the hugely popular books “Meditation for the Love of It” and “Awakening Shakti“.

Sally Kempton, author of Meditation for the Love of It and Awakening Shakti, talks with J about different paths in yoga and opening the subtle body. They discuss the 70's yoga scene, Swami Muktananda and her "30 years in obedience," why she left the ashram life and became a householder, asceticism and tantra, personal enlightenment vs collective good, spontaneous kundalini experiences and goddesses, "the magical level," and the mystical elements of yoga that people are usually reticent to talk about.

Sally Kempton is one of my yoga heroes. I found her work at a time in my practice life where I felt stunted, and a bit lost. I was hungry for something that wasn’t on offer to me, at least not in the yoga circles that I found myself in. I wanted to meet a teacher who had depth, experience and as my friends and I say, is the “real deal”. Sally Kempton is that teacher. And while I have yet to study with her in person, her book Awakening Shakti, and audio program Doorways To The Infinite had a profoundly impactful presence on my personal practice & teaching life. So it is with great joy, that I bring you my conversation with Sally Kempton. ABOUT SALLYSally Kempton is a powerful teacher of applied spiritual wisdom, known for her capacity to kindle meditative states in others and help students work with meditative experience as a framework for practical life-change. She teaches teleclasses, retreats, and workshops, and is on the faculty at Esalen and Kripalu. Sally is the author of the best-selling book, Awakening Shakti: The Transformative Power of the Yoga Goddesses and Meditation for the Love of It, which Spirituality and Health magazine called “The meditation book your heart wants you to read.” Her audio program, Doorways to the Infinite: The Art and Practice of Tantric Meditation, was released by Sounds True. A former swami in the Vedic tradition, Sally has been practicing and teaching for over four decades. Her teachings combine profound knowledge of the texts of yoga and tantra with practical wisdom from contemporary psychology and integral thought. PODCAST HIGHLIGHTSWhy Sally left her spiritual community to teach in the westThe initiatory nature of our current time on the planetThe difference between going deep, or staying shallow in one’s spiritual practiceWhat to do when you’re ready to go deeper in your practiceIntegrating wisdom from different traditions The power of commitment in ones practiceWhy Sally feels prayer is an essential part of a spiritual practiceThe two different kinds of prayer that Sally works withSally also answers Cora’s question, “are the gods & goddesses real?”FIND SALLY KEMPTONSally’s WebsiteSally’s Goddess Workshops with Tri YogaFIND CORACora’s WebsiteCora’s NewsletterFor links & resources mentioned in this episode go to www.corageroux.com/episode67Support the show (https://www.corageroux.com/theteachersclub)

How can we cultivate our intelligence of intuition? In this special episode (our last of 2020), spiritual teacher Sally Kempton turns the mic and interviews our visionary host Amisha Ghadiali.  Sally Kempton was our guest on Episode 8 and episode 92. She is one of today's most authentic spiritual teachers. She teaches devotional contemplative tantra—an approach to practice that creates a fusion of knowing and loving. Sally is the author of Meditation for the Love of It, a groundbreaking book on meditation, and Awakening Shakti.    During this past year Amisha brought alive a book ‘Intuition: Access your inner wisdom, Trust your instincts, Find your path'. The book shares nine principles, and over 50 practices for cultivating our intuition. In this conversation Amisha reveals her personal journey of forming a relationship with her intuition; the influence of her upbringing, the de-conditioning from her intellectual patterns, her wilder explorations and near death experiences, all of which guided her to deepen her understanding of the unseen worlds. She shares her learning experiences with teachers and mystics and eventually her coming of age moment in the presence of a tree arriving in a place of trust with herself, her healing modalities and her intuition. We learn that we all have intuition; an embodied intelligence of individual truths and trusts not guided by systems outside of ourselves. However the dominant cultures that forge our systems have somehow tricked us into thinking that we do not have this innate quality or wisdom within. The practices described in Amisha's book gently guide us into ways of recognising, refining and cultivating this intelligence as part of our evolution;  ways of unleashing this intelligence as a compass leading us into a beautiful future.

We always love speaking with Chantal Russel! We wanted to get her take on where our society is currently with balancing feminine and masculine energy. We reflect on our previous episode featuring Philip Attar and his thoughts on our experience being like a pendulum swinging. At the moment were more on the side of the masculine but we're starting to make the journey back to the feminine. Chantal offers another framing, considering the balance as more of an expansion and contraction. We talk about both masculine and feminine, especially wounded energies vs empowered, and dive into the dark feminine. Chantal shares stories about the goddesses Durga, Kali, and Dhumavati who can inspire us to lean into darkness, shadow, and the unknown. If you're interested, Chantal recommends the book Awakening Shakti by Sally Kempton.Other resources mentioned: If Women Rose Rooted by Sharon BlackieFoxfire Wolfskin by Sharon BlackieWell Women Wisdom School by Chantal Russell starting October 15

Most of us are aware of the practical steps we can take to help navigate what is going on in the world at the moment, but where can we turn for spiritual guidance and support? ***Please note that the word spiritual in this context is used to describe someone who looks and inquires within in order to experience universality in all things. Well in a recent conversation with the author Sally Kempton ,a former swami (monk) about the coronavirus we discussed the power we all have (men and women) to invoke the full potential of our inner feminine energy by connecting with different facets of different Goddesses. Sally has written a book called ‘Awakening Shakti’ which is all about this subject. This part of our conversation was not included in The Wisdom of Coronoavirus podcast released last month which featured Sally (among many others) so I hope you enjoy the unedited version of our chat. In this bonus podcast Sally gives a brief introduction to one goddess in particular who we can unite with at this time.

In this episode of House of Grace, I have the great honor to interview the devotional artist, spiritual teacher, Tantrika, award-winning poet and beautiful human Ekabhumi Ellik. You may know his drawings from the books “Shakti Awakening” by Sally Kempton or “Tantra Illuminated” by Dr. Christopher Wallis. Get to know the fascinating person behind the pictures in this honest and open interview. We talk about how Ekabhumi found spirituality, about awakening, his relationship to Kali, his devotion, losing everything, spiritual art and how he creates it, we talk about Dharma and what it means to him and how it is to live in a Christian-tantric-marriage. I was so overwhelmed by the beauty of everything he said that at a certain point I even lost my words. Apologies for that, but you will understand why, when you listen to this more than inspiring, incredible kind and modest human. Please take some minutes and enjoy this talk between two people, who meet each in other in the raw and vulnerable place of honesty. I hope this conversation and Ekabhumis words spark as much inspiration for you as it did for me. Enjoy.

Our guest today is Sally Kempton, a world-renowned author, and Teacher of what she calls Devotional Contemplative Tantra. A tradition based on the most authoritative Shaiva scriptures, deep devotional practices, and direct experience. Her teachings are based on the most esoteric direct transmission school of non-dual awareness known as Shaktipat. The veracity and authenticity of her teachings are rooted in the teachings and transmission she received from her Guru, Baba Muktananda, which she has skillfully developed and assimilated over the last 45 years. Her book, Meditation for the Love of It, is destined to be a spiritual classic of the 21st century as an authoritative meditation and deep contemplation manual for daily practice. She was for many years the editor of many of Muktananda’s most popular books, where she developed an Indian scriptural literacy and understanding of Muktananda’s teachings that are unprecedented among western spiritual teachers.Our conversation is a casual and free-flowing sharing of heart space among three old friends. We cover the full spectrum of our long relationship which originated with and is still based on our deep connection to our Guru, who we affectionately refer to as Baba. Sally shares her early years meeting Baba and transitioning from a fully engaged successful career in journalism based in NYC, to focused practice and disciplined adherence to the direct transmission teachings of Muktananda and the Shaiva Tantras that is his enduring legacy. Our nuanced discussion covers a wide range of significant issues central to authentic spiritual practice.

Sally Kempton, meditation teacher, author of Meditation for the Love of It and Awakening Shakti talks about the opportunity we have to know our interconnectedness by connecting to the divine substratum of all of life. She offers insights about the divine feminine and the gender revolution we are currently experiencing. sallykempton.org. First broadcast on KPFK on June 13, 2018.

Lisa Schrader is the founder of Awakening Shakti. For more than twenty years, she has been supporting and teaching women about awakening their inner Shakti, the sacred feminine energy. She guides women to tap into their magnetic radiance to attract their desires more easily. In other words, how to feel more naturally turned-on and sensually alive. In our modern Western culture women as well as men live under the creed of work more, perform more, make more money, make more happen, a way of being that is heavily skewed towards masculine energy and ideals. For a lot of women - and men too - this is highly exhausting and stressful and the effects can be seen in record-high number of depressed women, or women with “adrenal blowout”, to name a few. In the realm of relationships, women often complain of “not much happening in the bedroom”, or “sex has gone flat”, or, “all the men I date are wimps”. For every woman, there is an opportunity here, and it’s not just to wait until the perfectly sensual partner shows up and stokes her fire. The opportunity is to find that fire inside yourself, right now, and not only after you’ve accomplished something … like lost 20 pounds, found an awesome partner, gotten bigger breasts, or made yourself look younger. As Lisa puts it, after awakening her own Shakti and practicing these skills, she now permanently has a “simmering fire” inside, so that whenever she and her partner come together, as an example, she is ready to dive into pleasure and orgasmic enjoyment. It is this internal “simmering fire” that makes you feel alive, radiant, sensual, and attractive, as well as productive and ready to lead. Right now, Lisa is gearing up for her coaching program called Lover, Mother, Leader, where she guides women to awaken their own Shakti and reveal their radiance, in all the archetypical roles of a woman’s life, such as Lover, Mother, and Leader. Check it out here ... Also, Lisa gives tips for how to get started, even if you’ve never delved into this conversation before. Maybe you can just relate to being tapped out and overworked? Listen to the entire podcast for more powerful insights and tips.

Ladies, you know that feeling. That feeling when you enjoy an amazing meal. That feeling when a yoga class soothes your soul. That feeling when you connect with a friend and she just gets it. That feeling when you have great sex and all your needs are met. Well let us forewarn you, that's the kinda feeling you're going to experience when you tune into today's podcast. TAD tribe, meet our feminine awakening fairy godmother, Lisa Schrader. Lisa is the founder of Awakening Shakti, and has impacted the lives of thousands of women (for over two decades) as a workshop leader, author, speaker, and certified coach. Her work has been featured on Oprah, VHI, Oxygen, and she sits on the Shift Network faculty as the leader of the global Shakti Summit. As you can see, our fairy godmother has some credentials. But more importantly, Lisa emanates a woman who has awakened her feminine power and lucky for us, she's here to teach us how to do that too. In today's episode, we share many vulnerable conversations with Lisa that center on the struggle of being a modern day woman in a culture that's dominated by masculine behavior. We dive into what awakening Shakti even is (and how to start awakening it), why women have forgotten their inherent feminine nature and how to remember it, why it's important to tune into your natural rhythm based on your life cycle moment, and the complexities behind having an intimate, sensual, fulfilling, and sacred sexual partnership. Yes ladies, we cover all of this. Even how to create the container for sacred sensual sex through small acts like lighting candles, skin to skin practices, and sharing openly and honestly with your partner before "sex" even begins. If you're not feeling a heart flutter yet over today's dare to change episode, we leave you with this quote from Lisa as a final loving nudge to hit that play button and come listen in. "You are of the Earth, you are a spark of divine Shakti energy, the energy of masculine and feminine that occurred in the moment of your conception is what made you and what is still alive in you, and the answers are inside, you can get support from people you trust to help you listen, but those answers live inside of you. You do know. It’s less about achieving and more about remembering.”

Talking with Lisa was like a deep breath of fresh air. I felt a total permission to slow down, remember my body, my breath and my heart. For all of you who have been moving fast, trying to "do it all", just waiting for that moment to have a sacred pause, you are going to love taking this time to surrender to the feminine in this conversation with Lisa today.  I hope you enjoy the show!  "This quality of magnetic, shakti, potency came from me learning to love myself, me learning to delight in the birthright of my own sacred sensual self as a woman." In this episode we discussed: How Lisa shifted from a lifestyle of overachieving to finding balance with her feminine essence A turning point in her life when she had two miscarriages and how that brought her deeper on her path Sacred Sensuality and tapping into our Feminine Power Finding Balance as Modern Day Lovers, Mother and Leaders The miracle of being invited to be on "Oprah" to talk about tantra with her past husband A guided embodiment practice to connect to your innate feminine essence Embracing aging and the body as we grow and change  Stay in Touch with Lisa: Lisa's Website She Source Podcast Lisa Schrader, the Founder of Awakening Shakti, has impacted the lives of thousands of women for almost two decades as a workshop leader, author, speaker and coach.

Tune in to kindle the grace of the Goddess within your own heart.

Awakening Shakti, Sally Kempton's new book, shows everyone – both men and women -- how to participate in, and benefit from, the healing power of goddess energy. Sally gives us a mythic manual for a new kind of feminism – feminism of the soul. This is a good thing because humanity needs feminine power now as both a healing tonic and a source of reinvention. In this podcast Kelly Howell and Sally Kempton discuss how to invoke the transformative power of the Hindu goddesses through meditation, mantra, visualization and active engagement. At the end of this podcast is an introductory guided meditation to embody the energy of Lakshmi, the goddess of abundance and good fortune. Sally Kempton has been studying and teaching the wisdom of yoga for 45 years. She shares how to embody the energy of the goddesses in a very real, visceral and experiential way.

Listen to a Drishti Point Yoga Podcast with Sally Kempton, author of Awakening Shakti. How do you live a life of spiritual awakening as well as outer abundance, inner freedom as well as deep intimacy? How do you serve the world selfessly, yet passionately and celebrate your life? The sages of Tantra have known for centuries that when you follow the path of Shakti—the sacred feminine principle personified by the goddesses of yoga— these gifts can manifest spontaneously. Awakening Shakti is a practical guide to evoke the energies of the Divine Feminine (Kali, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Radha, Bhuvaneshvari, and Parvati) and integrate them into your life.
