Meditation for the Love of It: Enjoying Your Own Deepest Experience

Meditation for the Love of It presents meditation as an intimate relationship with one's innermost self. Sally Kempton draws on 40 years of teaching and personal practice to offer practical guidance for deepening a meditation practice both on and off the cushion. Kempton teaches how to connect with inner longings and creative shakti energy to access meditation's transformative effects. She emphasizes playfulness and devotion as key attitudes for sustaining daily practice, and addresses common misconceptions—such as the need for a quiet mind to meditate. The book covers tuning into your personal "meditation channel," understanding Kundalini as a force that fuels practice, and connecting with the Inner Beloved to release conditioned self-concepts and access the True Self. Kempton guides readers toward moving beyond technique into what she calls "spontaneous meditation." The book includes more than 20 practices designed to bring meditation's peace and insight into everyday life. Throughout, Kempton emphasizes that meditation points us toward our own inner intelligence, awareness, and truth—the deepest experience and bliss of existence itself.
