Ishtar, born Thomas Howell, works as a meditation teacher, Ishaya monk, gardener, writer, and intuitive astrologer. A sense of himself as Presence was a pronounced feature of his early years on earth until about the age of 7. At 13, he was in a car accident that took his mother’s life and initiated an NDE which brought about a profound experience of Samadhi which he experienced, along with an intense process of grieving. At 17 he began a regimen of meditation practices and ascetic disciplines that included waking to cold showers at 3 AM, fasting, and 6 hours of daily meditation practice.
After this Presence faded, Ishtar longed to return to this essence, resulting in an energetic spiritual search.
Longing to find his path, he encountered a practice known as the Ishayas’ Ascension, an effortless and deeply pleasurable form of meditation. Several months after learning Ascension, he found himself living on the Oregon coast in a monastic environment dedicated to this practice. In 2008, he left his monastic life and took an extended break from meditation teaching. The years lived outside the semi cloistered environment of the ashram were often challenging, but ultimately led to a more deeply anchored Presence. Since 2014, he has again been teaching Ascension and working as a spiritual guide, giving people a reliable practice with which to cultivate Awareness and assisting people in relaxing into Presence as a constantly lived experience. Since 2015 he has also been working as an intuitive Astrologer, with a primary focus on helping people align more completely with their soul’s purpose.
