This chapter examines the use of the terms kuṇdalinī and śakti within the field of contemporary lineage-based yoga and tantra. It focuses on the teachings of Sally Kempton, formerly Swami Durgananda, a disciple of Swami Muktananda. Kempton gained increasing influence as a missionary of the Goddess over the last decade, seemingly carrying on the tradition of śaktipāta for which her guru was so famous. But Kempton’s method of transmission was performed in a non-authoritarian way, often over the internet and through conversation and meditation (rather than by being whipped on the head by perfumed peacock feathers). Nevertheless, students experienced what they described as ‘kuṇḍalinī rising’ or the ‘presence of śakti,’ causing their bodies to sway in meditation, waking them up with energetic rushes in the nights, and leaving her mark of liberating grace on their daily lives. A discourse analysis of Kempton’s books and online teachings shows how for her, as well as for many contemporary practitioners of yoga and tantra, kuṇdalinī is just as likely to highlight unwanted personality traits as deliver liberation. Although this might be thought of as a contemporary, psychologized development, the chapter shows that while Kempton put aside her monistic identity in 2002, her teachings continued to draw heavily on the ideas she received through Siddha Yoga and that her understanding of kuṇdalinī and śakti are comparable to Muktananda’s, while her emphasis on what she called ‘the divine feminine’ suggests that she struggled to consolidate her early dedication to radical feminism with a lifelong spiritual commitment.
