In this week's episode, Stacy and Sam talk with Sally Kempton about the importance of cultivating a Mantra practice.

Sally is a widely respected teacher of meditation and spiritual wisdom, known for her capacity to kindle meditative states in others, and to help students work with meditative experience as a framework for practical life-change. A former journalist who wrote for Esquire, New York, and the Village Voice, she has spent over four decades practicing, teaching, and writing on meditation and spiritual philosophy.  Sally spent 20 years as a swami in a traditional Vedic order of monks. She is deeply trained in the teachings of Kashmir Shaivism, Vedanta and other aspects of yoga philosophy. 

Sally is the author of the best-selling book, Awakening Shakti: The Transformative Power of the Goddesses of Yoga, and of 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 in 2014.  She is on the faculty at Esalen, Kripalu, and 1440 Multiversity, teaches meditation on the websites Glo.com, Gaia.com, and Yogajournal.com, and is a former contributing editor at Yoga Journal.
