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
