Publisher's Summary

The sages of Tantra have known for centuries that when you follow the path of Shakti - the sacred feminine principle personified by the goddesses of yoga - these gifts can manifest spontaneously. Yet most of us, women as well as men, have yet to experience the full potential of our inner feminine energies. When you know these powers for what they are, they heighten your capacity to open spiritually, love more deeply and fearlessly, create with greater mastery, and move through the world with skill and delight. 

In Awakening Shakti, you will learn how to recognize and invite:  

• Kali, bringer of strength, fierce love, and untamed freedom  
• Lakshmi, who confers prosperity and beauty  
• Saraswati, for clarity of communication and intuition  
• Radha, who carries the divine energy of spiritual longing  
• And more  

With a wealth of meditations, visualizations, mantras, teachings, and beautifully told stories, Awakening Shakti provides a practical guide for activating the currents of the divine feminine in every aspect of your life.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

SO AMAZING!

This audible version is worth 10x it’s cost. The narrator’s voice is so calm and soothing and it brings to life the content in a beautiful way. There are some meditation exercises here, which works out great with her soothing voice.

Honestly, this is such a life changing and inspiring book for anyone who is into the Divine Feminine and empowering yourself through these dynamic goddesses.

Great Text, Horribly Inappropriate Narration

I appear to be one of the only people who hate this narration. I agree that this woman has a nice voice and is perfectly professional, but she also sounds like the epitome of the traditional disempowered female ideal. Pretty, graceful, weak and soft, this voice is completely at odds with the energy of the goddess. For someone like me who is more the Durga or Kali type, this delicate, male-pleasing energy is just worthless. The text itself is awesome, but the narration threatens to transform it into superficial new-age fluff. I have to try very hard to separate the words from the voice and still get value from it. I would much prefer to read this in book form, but I already spend too much time sitting at my computer for work. I think i might have to buy a treadmill so i can hold a book and read while i walk without risking getting hit by a car.

Great book, not a fan of the narrator whisper voice

The book is full of wisdom but the narrator talks in a sexy whisper voice. I found it hard to concentrate as I was annoyed by the voice. Might buy in a paper form to truly absorb the information.

Came into my life in such a synchronous way!

This book has become such a resource for my spiritual development and conscious awakening. Even if one is not religious, I feel all of the world needs these teachings! I'm sure a better, more compassionate society would arise!

Really wish someone else was reading

I love the content but can only listen to the breathy narrator for 10min at a time

Solid Content, Distracting Voice Actor

The explorations of the feminine energies and their respective mythologies were interesting, but the whispery narrator was incongruent with the content.

Worth listening to...

Once probably ain't cutting it. Twice or thrice is more likely. Narrator sounded like a sex phone worker but besides that the book was a massive trove of information...

Great listen

Fascinating stories that paint a picture into the topic of the divine feminine mahavidya deities of the Hindu pantheon. The narration was soothing and complemented the content of the book well.

Sally Kempton is the best!

this is a fantastic book! I keep listening to it and learn more each time!

healing and integrating.

Sally Kempton's words are like the most soothing reassuring and nourishing presence of an elder woman. there is knowledge that feels more like memories and there is undeniable and relentless love in the narrative. I wish the book was performed by her as well. the narrator has also done a good job. the meditations are wonderful and the book itself feels like a blessing.

Life changing

I don’t usually write reviews but I’m so grateful for this book. As a yoga teacher I’m not new to this topic so I can confirm that this book is an authentic and genuinely helpful for anyone on the spiritual path. Also the narrator is awesome.

Spectacular!

Perfect narration, this comprehensive beautifully written beautifully written book is everything you'd hope it to be.

🙏Exceptionally written. 🙏.

Superb book. Well written. There are no words to describe the energy shift I am experiencing by implementing the guided meditations.

Fingers crossed I too shall merge with pure consciousness one day.

Thank you for writing it. Sally Kempton may very well one day be worshipped as a deity herself for her contributions to mankind. 🙂.
