Ishtar ~ Melting into Wholeness: Re-enchanting the Cosmos

When the mind settles into Silence, the heart opens to the great mystery hidden everywhere in plain sight. The formless takes the form of Love, melting the barrier between self and world, reconnecting us to primordial Wholeness. This Wholeness is like a song that is already playing within. Every moment of life _ sublime or awful _ can be experienced as a flowing wholeness. Opening to this already present wholeness is the re-enchantment of the cosmos.

In the class, weÕll practice a few simple but powerful ways of melting into wholeness: effortless mantra practice, appreciation, gratitude, and opening directly to the flow of Shakti.

In addition to short talks and group practice, there will be plenty of time for questions and answers.

Ishtar poetically speaks about discovering the Bliss-Filled Fullness we never need to chase, as it’s always already trying to flood our lives. He shares how effortless mantra practice can help connect with SourceÑwith the Silence that’s always here:

About Ishtar

Ishtar is a meditation teacher, monk, gardener, and head teacher of the School for Awakened Living. At age 13, he experienced a near-death experience, and fell into a Samadhi. The desire to return to Samadhi propelled him on a spiritual path, bringing him to an Ashram at age 18, in the early 2000Õs. Since then, he has worked as a guide, teaching effortless meditation, and helping people relax into Wholeness.

For those wanting to learn more about IshtarÕs work, his interviews can be watched on shows such as Buddha at the Gas Pump, Conscious TV, and Next Level Soul.
