Who We Are Beyond Our Thinking with Jason Shiers

Jason Shiers was my coach for several months in 2022. It was through our work together that I felt I reached a tipping point in my understanding of why my overeating habit existed and was then able to see it transform and release.Jason has been through it. He can share so deeply about the transformation that comes from being in this inside-out conversation because he was on a search for years to ease his own suffering and find solutions for his addictions and unwanted habits. It was only when he found the 3 Principles that he found answers to the questions that had been haunting him for years. Jason Shiers is a Certified Transformative Coach with 25 years of digital creation helping people free themselves from suffering. He has been been working with people and helping to change lives for as long as he can remember in one way or another, while going through his own change, and learning about how the mind works.

Why don’t you tell us a bit about your background and how you got interested in the three principles?Jason: Well, so long story. I’ve  shared it today, in a different way, this morning on another thing that I was on, and it always it gives me a sense of gratitude, to go back sometimes and look at the chaos and the craziness in the things that I did. My life was very full of chaos, and chaos to me means everything that I could do to avoid myself, in the extremities, with drugs and alcohol, and bodies and weight loss and extreme diets and seeking, searching for myself: money, sex, relationships, everything, gambling, prostitution, anything I could, at the time, just to escape myself.
