"This is an inspired, beautiful, and thoroughly sage-like book! Sally Kempton writes about meditation as very few can-combining the perspectives of scientist, devoted seeker, authoritative spokesperson of the ancient tradition, and, I venture to say, one who dearly loves and seeks to know the highest truths. Meditation for the Love of It offers both practical teachings on ‘how to' meditate and an inspired survey of what meditation ultimately is meant to lead us to, the recognition and capacity to live knowing that life is indeed sacred. I encourage anyone seeking more happiness, clarity, and love in their life to drink of its curative wisdom-better yet apply any of the practices that Sally, so expertly, lays out. You and our world will, no doubt, be made better for it."
—Rod Stryker, founder of ParaYoga, author of The Four Desires
"Love this book! Sally Kempton is a modern communicator of a traditional practice, and in this book she generously shares her forty-plus years as a committed explorer of the soul. With great compassion and depth of experience, she affirms the challenges of quieting the mind while opening you to those realms of consciousness where you are able to exist wondrously within the pulse and flow of your own being. Her poetic prose invites you into the vast landscape of the mind, where all are welcome, all are divine. I'm grateful to Sally for this how-to guide for the soul, and I am excited to deepen my own experience of meditation through her inspiration and guidance."

"Sally Kempton is well equipped to guide on how to love our way to the divine life and the joyous oneness it epitomizes. I often recommend Sally Kempton to my own meditation students as a realized guide on the path of awakening. The chapter on her three-week meditation program alone is worth the price of this book, but I would say that the true delight here begins with getting to know this extraordinary yogi Sally Kempton. We are all blessed to have her and her genuine tantric lineage and teaching transmission in our lifetime."

Let sitting down on your cushion be a rendezvous with your beloved. Meditation can be the most fulfilling love relationship you will ever have in your life-a love that lasts more than one night, a love that is true, eternal, boundless, delight. With this book to show you how, begin now to meditate for the love of it."
