The Ishta Method

Meditation can bring us into stillness — and sometimes, into Presence.

We watch the breath. Feel the body. Notice thoughts arise and pass. And then something more intimate unfolds as we open and listen.

We begin to feel Love — perhaps as warmth, guidance, an image, or the simple but profound sense that we are being met.

Yoga gives a name to this intimate face of the Sacred: Ishta.

Ishta means chosen. There is a beautiful mystery in that word: you choose — and are chosen by the Love that Heals and Frees.

The twelve-week journey

Meet Love

Learn to recognize the particular ways the Sacred becomes present to you — and to keep turning toward that relationship through closeness, dryness, guidance, and silence.

Open what has closed

Bring a recurring pattern, wound, or place of contraction into that Loving Presence and allow what has been guarded to be met, known, and opened.

Carry that freedom into your life

Discover how what opens in meditation begins to shape the way you meet relationships, choices, creativity, and the ordinary moments of your life.
