Meditation is like a love affair with your innermost self. At times it can be ecstatic and entrancing, other times simple and still—and sometimes you might not even feel its profound effects until later.
Now with Meditation for the Love of It, Sally Kempton shares practical secrets to help us turn meditation into an unconditional embrace of the fullness of our experience—on and off the meditation cushion. With the gentle wisdom and compassion of one who understands the nuances of practice, she opens us to the joy of exploring the deep and mysterious inner landscape of the heart, mind, and body.
Drawing on her 40 years as a teacher and a fellow meditator, Sally teaches us how we can connect to our inner longings and creative shakti energy to allow the transformative gifts and blessings of meditation to unfold. With playfulness and devotion—two key attitudes in sustaining a daily practice—she shares indispensable guidance for this voyage of self-discovery, including:

Excellent book, thank you Sally for providing such an in depth guide to meditation. Your clear easy to follow instructions accompanying such a rich, delicious journey into the Love of, and in meditation is a sheer delight.
Straight to the heart of it....
This is a terrific book - the best meditation book I've ever come across. Not only is it well-written with lots of clear-to follow meditation practices, it also explains ancient yogic ideas in a understandable way for the western mind.
A really helpful and enjoyable book to read and understand.
Sally Kempton's book has really brought my centering prayer meditation to a new level. I love the permission to play and experiment, and I am now keeping a meditation journal.
