Edward Dangerfield is back for his 3rd round on "Heart of Man"

And while we’ve explored a wide range of topics in our past conversations, from relationships, to coming home to our bodies, to finding sovereignty and integrity within our own sexual expression, we had yet to come together to explore the core element that first brought us into connection:

The breath.

Already early on in my work with Edward, I’d often hear him boldly claim,

• “The way we breathe is the way we live.”

And over time, I came to see just how true that statement really is.

And while there are many forms of breathwork out there, similar to there being different styles of yoga or meditation—of all the practices I’ve explored, none have felt more powerful or life-altering than the innovative and emergent technique of Facilitated Breath Repatterning [FBR], which can be seen as a unique synthesis of breathwork and bodywork that I was trained in over 4 years ago.

Within the breathwork world it is common knowledge that certain styles of breathing can help us access non-ordinary states of consciousness, giving space for subconscious material to surface and allowing for the completion of incomplete reflexes and the release of unprocessed emotions.

In FBR, however, I had yet to find a modality that systematically focuses on both adjusting breathing mechanics and guiding the movement of breath through the body, something Edward has relentlessly refined over a decade of devoted practice.

If you consider that we breathe on average 21,000–26,000 times a day, and if we’ve habitually learned to breathe poorly or in maladaptive ways, this means we’re repeating that poor pattern 1000's of times every single day...

But if we can shift the way we breathe subconsciously, the effect on our physical, mental and emotional health, can be profound.

In my eyes, it’s absolutely no understatement to say that this practice has been revolutionary in my life. And while I’ve continued to learn from different mentors and teachers over the years, I’ve remained devoted to this practice as the foundational work from which everything else is built.

For me, it felt important for us to come together in this way—out of recognition for just how powerful this modality has been for me. I see that a core part of my mission is to support spreading it, and in this conversation, I seek to contribute to that by offering something that does this modality justice.

For those who haven’t yet experienced it for themselves. I believe this conversation does just that...
