Meet Jason Benefield of JAB Unlimited Productions LLC

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jason Benefield

Hi Jason, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Jason Adeniyi Ojudun Benefield better known as Jason A. Benefield, was born in Buffalo, NY. now residing in Hollywood, CA. Jason is a speaker, author, spiritual counselor/coach, singer-songwriter, and poet. He has been inspiring people since 2006, to be in constant connection with their inner power, to live and move with the dreams, ideas, and visions that are constantly being uploaded within. He facilitates the growth process by dispelling old thought forms and beliefs to transform pain into purpose. He graduated from Agape International Spiritual Center founded by Michael Bernard Beckwith, as a licensed spiritual practitioner. Jason was raised in a family of talented speakers and teachers. Because of this training, Jason has dedicated his life to daily meditation, prayer, and personal development to stay in constant connection with his inner power and the flow of manifestation.
As a young man, Jason A. Benefield, lived solely by the perceptions of others, constantly seeking unconditional love and acceptance from external sources, due to an illness that he and his family never knew he had. Following an awakening, he was determined to discover a deeper truth and understanding so, accordingly, he embarked on a journey of seeking wisdom, enlightenment, and self-worth. At the age of 17, he did his first trial sermon and realized his true connection to source energy and how important this knowing is to him and others. He has spoken on multiple stages, in Niagara Falls, Rochester, Buffalo, Hampton, VA, Los Angeles, etc. Jason also realized the benefits of knowing this power and how it has blessed his life for so many years.
Jason’s goal is to empower people and help them realize their true worth, ability, and importance to this world and themselves. This shift in belief facilitates a recalibration in the way each person sees themselves and the world around them. This creates better working environments, being open to ways for prosperity and abundance to show up in their lives, better health and well-being, the ability to step into their power so that they can enjoy aligned purpose work, stop settling, love themselves more, and begin to attract the love they desire. This is a call to action – for each person to know and see that the pain of their past no longer dictates future possibilities.
Through his continued learning of principles and universal law, he implemented that knowledge to create a program to help others under his business JAB Unlimited Productions LLC like, “Being Aware is Self-Care,” his signature self-care workshop that provides people with tools and practices to cultivate a consistent state of inner peace. Currently, he has a morning program Monday and Friday at 7:43 am PST on Facebook, and Instagram @jasonabenefield called Let’s A.M.P. Up (Affirmation, Meditation, Prayer) practicing communing with your inner power. Conversations with T&J Tuesdays at 5 pm PST on Instagram @itsoffical314 and Facebook @jasonabenefield live. Jason has a group revealing platform called, “Feel- Heal- Freedom” with separate groups for men and women and does one-on-one counseling. He started a nonprofit to provide a space for young people to be heard called, “The Passage Way Foundation” and is currently working to help young people through Spirit of Awakening. His book, The Essential Pain and Peace of Life: The Journey of Unfolding Consciousness is now available on Amazon.com. And Oracle cards called, “Essence Illuminations” can be found on his website www.jasonabenefield.com along with other merchandise like tees and sweatshirts.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It most definitely has not been a smooth road. It’s very interesting because of the dynamics of the culture when it comes to people of African descent, there are specific things that are looked over based on beliefs and ideas that keep certain people up and others down. As I was on my journey of having seizures at a young age, they were looked at as me being disruptive and not properly representing the family. I had moments of defending myself, yet was dismissed because I was just a child. I never felt seen or acknowledged by the adults in my family. Even though it felt like an uphill battle, I still wanted better for myself and wanted to be seen as a good and productive child. When those seizures would happen, it felt like my efforts were null and void. I lowered myself to please others, yet my mistakes were highlighted greater than my good deeds.
I noticed how the way people around me treated me and that their thoughts towards me weren’t productive. That coupled with the beliefs I had about myself, how I perceived how others saw me, and the tumultuous relationship with my mother who didn’t nurture me the way I needed, led me to have unproductive relationships and friendships, without boundaries, and lose myself all for the sake of wanting to be loved. No matter what was going on with me, I held myself to the belief that I could do and be better, and that there was a higher calling and purpose for my life. I was always ready to see who my higher power was leading me to be.

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about JAB Unlimited Productions LLC?
My mission is to assist individuals to know, understand, reveal, and embody the power within them that is their true nature, by promoting the daily practices of meditation, affirmative prayer, studying, and self-love. These tools then become the foundation for growth and development. As one continues to grow they become more aware of their life as a spiritual being living a human experience. Only you can reveal the true you! We provide opportunities to reveal and affirm one’s value and importance and to remind them of their unlimited potential.
We are here to transform pain into purpose, which allows people to be fully open to knowing, revealing, loving themselves, and utilizing their gifts and talents in the world through the edutainment platform. Our goal is to be a worldwide company facilitating change in people’s lives from ages 13 to 43. We fulfill this objective through inspirational speaking, one-on-one or group counseling sessions, workshops, and creative exercises.
Workshops:
Feel, Heal, Freedom- separate groups for men, women, and those who don’t identify with a safe space to release what no longer serves them and become open to their greater yet-to-be.
Being Aware is Self-Care- promotes the understanding of Self-Care, why it’s important, what it can do for the longevity of their lives, and what is possible for their growth and unfoldment.
Commodity Consciousness – We teach the inherent value of each person and provide tools and practices to sustain this knowledge. This transformation results in the participant owning their inner power which benefits themselves and their greater communities.

One-on-One Spiritual Practitioner Session – a person can have an intimate session to work through whatever is blocking them from living their full and authentic lives.

Essential Pain and Peace of Life – my book that discusses the pain of my past and how I made it an ally to grow into a person of value and importance, to live a greater life with purpose.

Inspirational Speaking – I go to different locations, youth groups, churches, and schools to speak to those who have a willingness to be open and available to the greatness of who they are and what it would take to achieve that in their lives.

Youth Behavioral Guidance – I teach the youth skills, tools, and practices that will help them navigate through life challenges. I also show them how they are already enough and that they have everything they need for their lives right now and to enjoy themselves as children.

Your Value Report – Is a podcast that educates and showcases individuals that began to become open and available to the greatness that they are and realized that they are valuable and important.

Merchandise – Inspirational t-shirts, hoodies, caps, tumblers, and oracle cards, all designed to reaffirm their inner power and divinity.

What sets me apart from others is that I believe in enhancing any gift and talent and I look for and eliminate the blockages and obstacles that are getting in the way. It’s important to dig so deep into the pain of the past and allow the person to reveal, acknowledge, love, and dissolve so that one can create a new way of being, living, and expressing their true nature as a creative being. I will also provide a platform where each person will be able to express their talents and begin to see that it’s possible to live their true purpose. This is the beginning of a full-service transformation where people can really see their greatness truly unfold.

We all have a different way of looking at and defining success. How do you define success?
I define success as something already available right now. It’s up to us to be open to our own unique Divine unfolding of success. I believe that success is a feeling when one accomplishes any goal, idea, or vision. This is a measuring stick to know if we are on track with meeting our goals and desires. Life is about learning, growing, creating, and expressing. In order to fully embody the essence of success one must listen to their inner divine callings. When we do this, we feel the fullness of purpose and accomplishment. I have found that when I am productive and creating, I feel myself going into another dimension and feeling fulfilled as well as being guided by my inner power.
