Daniel's Yoga Nidra CD!

Yoga Nidra, also known as Yogic Sleep, is a powerful technique that creates an altered state of consciousness allowing the practitioner to enter the realm of subconscious.

Most people are familiar with the power of affirmations but many also don't realize that affirmations can be made infinitely more effective if one accesses the subconscious mind to plant the seed of a new belief. In fact, most conscious affirmations are ineffective because they don't manifest in the subconscious.

This Yoga Nidra CD, narrated by Daniel Mirecki, will take you deep into your subconscious through guided imagery, helping you implant an affirmation of your choice which will manifest in your life.

Daniel Mirecki has studied Yoga Nidra with Swami Muktidarma Saraswati a direct disciple of Parmahansa Satyananda Sarsawati, who is widely regarded as the father of the modern Yoga Nidra rediscovery. Daniel brings with him a vast array of knowledge of the human psyche through his studies of Neuro Linguistic Programming, hypnosis and psychology.

CDs are $12 each, or to see our package deals, read below! Please enquire about availability: 604-676-8812

Street Heat: December is WOOL SOCKS month!

This December, the homeless have expressed their need specifically for woolen socks. We often take for granted that our feet, the base and foundation of our body, are warm and dry. Wool socks are a simple way of giving that relief to someone who may otherwise be wet and cold. We are collecting other wool items too: wool hats, wool sweaters, wool everything! Wool is unique in that even when it gets wet, it still stays warm. Imagine what this means to someone who lives on the street in this cold and rainy December!

Street Heat is a volunteer-based community organization whose volunteers collect and distribute all types of warm items such as blankets, socks, sweaters, jackets, sandwiches and rain ponchos to the homeless.

Read about the volunteer's experiences at the Street Heat Blog!

What can I do to help?

Collect any new or gently used woolen items and drop them off in the Street Heat Donation box here at Prana 30 minutes before any scheduled class. We are also accepting donations to buy rain ponchos ($1 buys one poncho and a whole lot of comfort and relief) and to make sandwiches to distribute!

I would like to help distribute!

Please see our website at www.streetheatproject.org for upcoming distribution dates and call 604.676.8812 for further details.
