Yoga Nidra, Sensory Imaging& The Laws of Attraction"
Introductory Talk with Edward Pio
Friday, October 26th at 7:30 pm

Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) is a technique that causes the physical body and the left hemisphere of the brain to go into deep relaxation or leep while the right hemisphere becomes very active achieving a high level of awareness. One of the most important benefits of practicing Yoga Nidra is profound mental and physical rest. A thirty-minute session gives the equivalent rest of eight hours of high-quality sleep. While in this state of awareness, using Sensory Imaging and Intention rather than words or affirmations you can get rid of what you don’t want in your life and attract that which you do want. It is a powerful way to reduce stress, achieve personal goals and objectives, and change one’s life for the better.

Mr. Pio is the founder and executive director of the International Institute of Medical Hypnosis located on Cass street in Monterey. He has been teaching medical hypnosis, self-hypnosis, meditation, Yoga Nidra and The Theta Brain Technique to health professionals and private groups in Northern California for forty-eight years. Over thirty-five thousand students have completed live and recorded courses including seven hundred sixty men in Soledad Prison. He has lectured and given courses in several states across the country, internationally in Russia and China as well as on several cruise ships. Don't miss this chance to learn how sensory imaging and Yoga Nidra can reduce stress and help you achieve your goals.

Talk and Book Signing With  Marc Allen, Author of “The Magical Path: Creating the Life of Your Dreams and a World That Works for All”
Friday evening, October 19th at 7:30 pm

At the start of his career, Marc Allen never took a business course; he simpl  made what he calls "a sloppy, disorganized, lazy, and intuitive search through the books of Western magic." There he found the tools that took him from being a poverty case to a multimillionaire and helped him create one of the most successful independent publishers in the country. In "The Magical Path," he presents these tools — effective, easy-to-apply practices, including affirmation, visualization, and guided meditation — that can change the course of readers' lives in miraculous ways, as they did his. Because these tools are so simple and powerful, Allen calls them "magic." But far from esoteric, they are tools anyone can use to achieve their dreams and goals.

Marc Allen is the founder of the highly successful New World Publishing Company, a pioneer business that has introduced many inspirational classics to the public, including those of Shakti Gawain and Don Miguel Ruiz. Come hear Marc Allen talk about his new book, and the dynamic ideas that can get your life back on track.
