When the world gets chaotic and uncertain, we need spiritual practice more than ever—not just to sustain our souls and restore our inner peace, but to recharge and prepare ourselves to take on challenges with effective action. A few years ago, Philip Goldberg, the author of “Spiritual
Practice in Crazy Times” and host of the Spirit Matters podcast. interviewed twelve spiritual leaders to help us get through the pandemic. We’re now re-releasing the interviews as an encore series, because the messages are as relevant today as when they first aired.
The late Sally Kempton was a renowned spiritual teacher and author of books such as Meditation for the Love of It and Awakening Shakti: The Transformative Power of the Goddesses of Yoga.
As Swami Durgananda, she was a monastic in the Siddha Yoga tradition for 20 years,
teaching, editing, and leading workshops. After setting aside monastic life in 2002 she taught
students around the world until her passing in 2023. In this interview, she shared
yogic wisdom for building resilience, finding meaning in upsets, developing the
inner witness, and integrating the energy centers of the mind, heart, and belly.
