Image for display with article titled From Limiting Beliefs to Empowering Beliefs With Jason Althaver

Dreamwork can be a useful tool to get to the root of subconscious limiting beliefs that negatively influence our experience of life. Our guest today is Jason Althaver, a life coach, and a dreamworker. Limiting beliefs, like self doubt, perfectionism, or imposter syndrome, can lead to anxiety and stress. Jason shares some of his dreams that demonstrate his limiting beliefs and have helped him break their hold over him. We talk about nervous system regulation, and Jason leads us through a breathwork technique which reduces anxiety.
After the break, Briana from North Carolina asks about using lucid dreaming to work with limiting beliefs and shares a dream about being in a house surrounded by wolves. Jason shares some suggestions around helpful bedtime routines and also around dream incubation including what he calls "prospective memory." He recommends the lucid dreaming approach called MILD which is Mnemonic Induced Lucid Dreaming, originally developed by Steven La Berge. Max shares a dream about a scared child and a glimpse of a portal. Jason ends by sharing a recent dream which inspired him to start asking how to create empowering beliefs.
BIO: Jason Althaver is a yoga teacher, lifecoach, reikki practitioner, lucid dreamer, and a dream coach. He considers himself a wounded healer here to share tools and help young entrepreneurs paralyzed by anxiety break free with mindset work and nervous system regulation techniques to create lasting success.
