Detox

Detox Workshop | With Kanako Kobayashi

Author | DIAKADI Health Practitioner, Kanako Kobayashi

Purification, also known as detoxification, can help you remove natural toxins from your body and help maintain a healthy weight.  We are exposed to external toxins every day, including pollutants, pesticides, and chemicals.  Internally our bodies produce waste byproducts as a result of normal metabolic function.  Although your body is designed to rid itself of these toxins naturally, it can become overburdened.  Purification offers your body additional support to expel natural toxins and minimize your weight, which is important to maintaining your health and vitality.

WE Essentials | Thoughts and Self-Love

Author | DIAKADI Trainer, Jator Pierre

Thoughts

Your thoughts will have a profound effect on every aspect of your life.  This includes your health, your emotional state, your life path, and your ability to succeed.  Most people think about what they don’t want the majority of the time therefore drawing the very thing they don’t want towards them.  It would also serve us well to look into what our unconscious thoughts are and how they are creating our current reality.  It is easy to have a daily mantra of positivity, but if the unconscious records that play in your sub-conscious are opposed to your conscious thoughts of positivity then your manifestations will continue to be created by the unconscious.  Shakespeare said ‘There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so’.

The 6 DIAKADI Elements: ‘Who Needs Their Ass Kicked?’

Author | Billy Polson, Founder + Owner of DIAKADI

Let me start by telling you guys a story… a crazy story… but a true one as well, based on a compilation of  ‘day in the life’ stories I have heard from clients over the years.

Your iPhone alarm goes off at 6a and after hitting snooze 3 times, you lay in the dark checking your phone for any emails that came in since falling asleep sometime after 1am. You make your way into the kitchen and reheat a large mug of coffee in the microwave (adding in 2 packs of Equal) and sip on it as you shower and shake the groggy hang over from your daily sleeping pill.

Dressed and out of the house in 20 minutes (a second mug of reheated, artificially sweetened coffee in hand), you drive to the office, checking your phone for voicemail that came in from the European office overnight. While typing a quick note to your boss you hear a siren and see a flash of lights behind you.  CHP pulls you over and gives you a TRIPLE ticket for texting while speeding at 82 mph IN THE COMMUTER LANE (oh yes…true story).

Beyond Self-Sabotage Workshop

Why is it that all people spend part of their time meeting their emotional needs in a way that is self sabotaging? How can it be that a part of the ego has learned to feel valued the more we block our own success? If the need to self sabotage is always a symptom perpetuated by unresolved emotional wounds or beliefs about self, what would it mean if you learned how to address the actual issues beneath the symptom? Is it possible to find liberation from the hidden internal confliction about success?
