CUPID Talks on May 10th in SF!

CUPID Talks: How to Have a Great First Date

You finally took the plunge and asked your crush out. The word “yes” never sounded so good, but now you're wondering how to make this a great first date.

Ever wonder:

• Where's a good place to go on a first date?
• How do I feel comfortable and confident?
• How do I flirt and build chemistry?
• When should I make the first move?
• How do I get a second date?

Most of us didn't have a class on dating in high school. And what a shame --- what's more important than love? So many singles feel confused and insecure about dating. Where is the rule book, anyways?

Enter Cupid Talks, the dating school you've been waiting for.

Join us on May 10th for CUPID Talks: How to Have a Great First Date, a night of conversation with other sophisticated singles and four of the Bay Area’s best Dating and Relationship Coaches. The evening will include fun exercises, primo tips, and a chance to ask a panel of dating experts your most pressing questions about first dates. Be prepared to laugh, meet amazing people, and walk away feeling confident and ready for that first date.

**This event is geared to people who are attracted to the opposite sex. Queer singles invited and welcome**

Sex, Body, Love Workshop on Jan. 22nd

Hello,

I am very excited to announce I will be assisting the 3rd Sex, Body, Love Workshop happening in Berkeley, Ca. on Jan. 22nd.

If you are curious:

Would you like to feel more passion, self-expression, self-love and

unfiltered sensuality in your life?

Women in today’s society are often told to look stereotypically

“hot” but not to express our real emotions and especially not our

sexual desires.

With so many ways we are told to be and act, we have stopped

listening to our instincts on how to have the life we really want.

That's why I created this workshop - Sex, Body, Love- To help women like you develop

more connection with your sensual side, more self expression and more self love.

In this workshop, you will be introduced to a powerful body based practice that will have you feel full and abundant.

In this safe, nurturing, supportive women’s only workshop, you will

leave with ...

* Feeling more freedom to have more pleasure in all areas of your life.

* Reconnect with your body, your sensuality and other women in profound ways.

* Develop a deep sense of self love and ease.

* Enjoy the ability to receive more and feel more appreciative.

* Be able to feel great in unabashedly asking for what you want.

* Dispel areas of your life where you've felt stuck.

* Be more confident, powerful and relaxed.

* Learn a body based practice that will help you feel more vibrantly alive.

* Feel more perfect then you have ever before. (Because you are!)

* Having a ton of fun!

As a workshop leader with over 10 years experience, I've worked with women who already feel powerful in their lives get to the next level. I'm excited to share this with you!

This small intimate workshop will be given in a private home in Berkeley,

CA, Saturday, January 22nd, 2010 10am-6pm with a follow up evening Wednesday, January 26th, 2010 7pm-9pm.

If you are curious, let’s talk. call me, Nicole, at 415-624-6819 or email me at NicoleAHalpern@yahoo.com

With love,

Nicole Hapern and Maya Diamond

She looks forward to knowing how best she can be of service for your own growth and healing.

EFT for Financial Abundance

For the next 3 weeks I am hosting a EFT Circle that is specifically designed to address healing/transforming your relationship with money. What happens when you think about a $100 bill. Does your stomach tighten? Does your breathe become shallow? Or do you feel excited with positive expectation? In this 2 hour group we will work through any resistance/blocks/negative beliefs you have around money so that money can flow towards you naturally and you are able to truly receive financial abundance.

The group meets every Monday from 7:30pm-9:30pm. Please email me at diamondlifecoaching@gmail.com for directions and the address.

Attain Your Goals in 2009

Hello,

Are there areas of your life you would like to improve? What if you could actively start creating those changes in your life right now with the help of a Life Coach? Do you resonate with any of the inquiries below:

-Do you have a dream that you would like help manifesting?
-Do you want to eat better and exercise more?
-Do you want more intimacy with your loved ones?
-Do you want to have more organization in your home/office?
-Do you want to increase your ability to express your need and desires in relationship?
-Do you want to find more passion and vitality in your life?
-Do you want more connection with your true self?
-Do you want to find more peace and relaxation in your life?
-Do you want a clear vision of your life goals/purpose and act in more accordance with those goals/purpose?

If your answer is yes to any of the questions above please consider receiving coaching from me. The support, collaboration, and guidance that you will receive as my coaching client will greatly increase your success in manifesting your dreams, goals, and desires.

How does it work: Our sessions will be 60 minutes in duration and be done via phone. In our sessions I will ask you powerful questions that will help you focus on what is most important for you right now and craft a plan for getting from where you are to where you want to be.

Why am I so passionate about coaching? I believe that in order to create change we must become conscious of our habitual way of being before we can transform. As your coach I will employ techniques that I have gleaned from my years of training in Somatic Psychology, Yoga (instructor), and Massage Therapy to create a powerful dialogue with the mental, physical, and spiritual aspects of who you are to create the changes you seek. In addition, I use the Emotional Freedom Technique (www.emofree.com) to help clear any blocks that may be preventing you from achieving your goal. Through our work together you will see more clearly what you truly desire and be empowered and encouraged to create the life you want.

About me: I am a Master's in Somatic Psychology candidate at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) with seven years of experience in the medical/healing arts field. I am a certified Massage Therapist and Yoga Instructor. I am committed to exploring the integration of the mind, body, and spirit. My greatest passions are yoga, salsa dancing, astrology, and nutrition.

To learn more about this opportunity and to see if we are a good fit, contact me at diamondlifecoaching@gmail.com or 415-672-5972


Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you soon!

EFT: Tapping out Fear and in Love

The Emotional Freedom Technique was developed by Gary Craig. It is a technique that is based in the Chinese Meridian system and Western Psychology. It is a form of Energy Medicine, that works on the subtle energy system of the body. EFT effects the mind, body, and spirit. It can be done alone, with another person, or in a healing circle.

Currently I am training in a EFT Apprenticeship program with Sonya Sophia in Chico, California. I began my training in October of 2008. I have been in the healing arts field for over ten years. EFT is the most effective and profound healing modality that I have encountered. It is quick, empowering, and consistently creates results.

In my training as a client I have experienced deep healing from the work of EFT. I am so incredibly grateful that this modality has come into my life. My intention is to share it with all my loved ones and to continue using it to create positive changes in my client's lives. If you are interested in learning more about EFT check out the website at www.emofree.com If you would like to book a EFT session with me please email me at diamondlifecoaching@gmail.com

Tap out unnecessary fear and tap in abundant life-giving love.

Low-Cost Therapy in the Bay Area

It is very common to feel like going to see a psychotherapist is too expensive. Isn't your mental/spiritual health and growth important?  I think it is.  So below are affordable resources in the bay area for psychotherapy.  The counseling centers on the list below all work on a sliding scale, meaning you pay what you can afford.  Just to note, there is a range of options, you can see a therapist who is a Jungian Therapist, a Drama Therapist, a Somatic Therapist, a Expressive Arts Therapist, or a Psychodynamic Therapist.  You could see a man or a woman.  What is important is that you choose a therapist that you like.  One study noted that the clients who got the most out of therapy are the clients that liked their therapist.  Therefore, the client-therapist relationship is vital for the therapy to work.  Interview a couple therapists take your time and see who you feel most comfortable working with.  Most of the therapists who you will work with on this list are trainees or interns, that means that they are either currently still completing their Master's degree or have finished it and are working towards licensure.  Therefore each therapist has a supervisor that they take their cases to, so in a way you are getting two therapists for the price of one.

10 Most Memorable Moments: A Daily Practice

It has been discovered that the human brain remembers and catalogs distressing events more than the pleasurable and positive ones. This of course contributes to our survival. What do you want to remember? Do you want to remember all the parts of your day that were stressful and chaotic or do you want to remember the times that you were inspired, awestruck, in ecstasy, or complete peace. At the end of the day take 10 minutes to write down your most favorite memorable moments that you experienced in your day. Do this practice for a week and see what happens when you start to notice and track what life is bringing you each day.

Are you suffering from stress, depression, anxiety or addiction

Due to the rise in technology, lack of focus on human connection, and constant doing, humans are now suffering from stress, depression, anxiety, and addiction more than ever. Fortunately there are resources to end the suffering. One of the most powerful resources I have found in this area is a book called the MOOD CURE. This book guides you though the process of looking at where you are with helpful questionaires and shows you how to balance your brain chemistry with the help of natural supplements that are tested. Many of the supplements that she, Julia Ross MA, recommends work in minutes, therefore it is easy to see which is right for you. Her website www.moodcure.com is a good place to start from there you can buy her book and read about the power of balancing your brain chemistry with nutrition and supplements.
Good Luck!
