Action's Antidotes
The Power of the Subconscious Mind With Austin Tani
The subconscious mind is like a hidden library in our brains, quietly influencing our thoughts and actions. When ideas are consistently reinforced, they sink into the subconscious, becoming automatic responses. Positive or negative, these beliefs influence our decisions and behaviors without our conscious awareness. Have you ever wondered how your subconscious beliefs might be guiding your choices without you even realizing it?
In this week's episode, I have Austin Tani, Founder of Bringing Balance Back. Today, we discussed how negative beliefs are often formed in childhood based on experiences, and how those beliefs can then impact our lives unconsciously. He also shared transformative techniques for clearing subconscious beliefs, including breathwork and somatic therapies to release emotional charges from the body. Ready to transform your beliefs?

The Power of the Subconscious Mind With Austin Tani
Welcome to Action’s Antidotes, your antidote to the mindset that keeps you settling for less. I am confident. I am competent. I am smart. I am good enough. I will make things happen. How many of you out there have said things like this to yourself in the mirror? How many of you wake up every day or have some sort of regular ritual around saying things like that? And what kind of results have you gotten from these affirmative messages that you said to yourself? Now, chances are, those results are kind of mixed. Maybe some of you start to notice a difference as you repeat these mantras to yourself, but maybe some of you did not get the results that you desired. Maybe some of you, for some reason, one reason or another, tried it for a while and still kept falling back into some of the same patterns and some of the same beliefs. My guest today, Austin Tani, of Bringing Balance Back, has a different approach to some of these instances in which this set of affirmations may not have particularly worked.

Austin, welcome to the program.
Thanks. Thanks, Stephen.
Thank you. How are you doing today?
I’m doing good. Doing good. Had a slight headache this morning but it’s starting to go away.
Well, not bad. Now, Austin, have you ever initially before starting a business tried this set of affirmations, kind of those repeated mantras, whether they be in the mirror or meditation or anything like that?
Yeah, I’ve tried some affirmation stuff but it didn’t really help me too much, but, yeah, I’ve given them a try.
And what kind of experience that you have with these affirmations?
Kind of just scratching the surface, you’re using your conscious mind and you’re hoping that you impregnate the subconscious mind with that affirmation and it becomes your belief. But with what I’ve learned and what I’ve seen through experience, a lot of times when we’re trying to drop an affirmation in, that usually means we’re carrying the opposite belief in our subconscious mind. If you’re trying to say, “I’m worthy, I’m worthy, I’m worthy,” probably means you’re carrying the belief of unworthiness in your subconscious mind. That’s why you’re trying to drop that information in and that’s why that worthiness came up as an affirmation for yourself. So I’ll explain it like this. So if you’re trying to drop in, “I am worthy,” into your subconscious mind, which is actually your body, the body is your subconscious mind, so if you’re trying to drop in, “I’m worthy,” in your subconscious mind but you have a big bubble of unworthiness stuck in your body, it’s just going to bounce right off you and you’re going to still feel unworthy, until you remove that feeling of unworthiness out of your nervous system and then you can drop in, “I’m worthy.”
So let’s talk a bit about this feeling of unworthiness and talk about a little bit from the standpoint of a personal journey. A person you encounter that has this feeling of unworthiness in their subconsci...
