A New Way of Being

Flow Beyond Thought — with Danny Donachie


Listen Later

“It’s not about being fully present in every moment, but how quickly you can come back.”

I’m delighted to be joined by Danny Donachie — a coach, speaker and former athlete whose work bridges presence, self-inquiry, and performance.

Danny has worked with top athletes and football clubs, but his path has also taken him deep into meditation, yoga, and spiritual practice. After a powerful awakening experience in Amsterdam, his focus and experience shifted.

We talk about getting out of your own way, the role of breath and body, energy centres, attention, Sadhguru, Rupert Sheldrake, Novak Djokovic’s approach to recovery and mental strength and what it means to get out of your own way.


KEY TOPICS


  • Awakening through presence: Danny’s experience in Amsterdam and the energetic aspect of awareness
  • Mental strength is a practice: Quick recovery and soft focus are more important than perfection
  • Digital distraction vs. deep attention
  • The body as a gateway: Subtle sensations are the key to a deeper awareness
  • Meditation redefined: It’s not about never drifting — it’s about how gently and quickly you return
  • Letting go in sport and life
  • Consciousness beyond the brain: Intuition, connection, and non-local awareness
  • The power of intention
  • The miracle of now: Ordinary moments become extraordinary when we’re awake
