About this episode
Ishtar Howell is a meditation teacher, monk, gardener, intuitive, and writer. His childhood was filled with weird and mystical experiences, anchored in the sense of a unity with all things. This unity faded at around age 7. Then, at age 13, he experienced an NDE, which, shortly thereafter, propelled him on a spiritual path, which included many hours of meditation per day while attending High School. At 18, he learned a meditation practice called the Ishayas’ Ascension. After several years of practice, it was clear that he had found his spiritual home. Shortly thereafter, he entered an ashram centered on the practice, spending long periods of time in meditative retreats, putting in long hours of service work, and teaching meditation classes around the world. In 2008, he left his monastic organization, took an extended break from meditation teaching, and attended university. The years lived outside the semi-cloistered environment of the ashram were challenging but led to a more deeply anchored Presence. Subtle barriers fell, opening again to the experience of the world as the Self and the Self as all things. This process continues to unfold and expand. Ishtar will share the experience of his present and the journey that led here and will happily answer questions on the practice of the Ishayas’ Ascension, its particular flavor of opening into Reality, and anything else. Since 2014, he has served as a guide on the path, helping people recognize Awareness and relax into the Wholeness that is already here. He also works as an evolutionary astrologer, helping people connect with their guiding myths and soul music.
