How we breathe is how we think...
It was this very sentence that was shared with me on the first ever breathwork circle I was a part of and it was this journey that forever changed the course of my life.
And with these words I'd like to welcome our next guest on the Podast: Edward Dangerfield
Edward is a nervous system specialist, teacher and the visionary founder of the Facilitated Breath Repatterning Technique (FBR) and Breathwork Bali.
Edward's journey of transformation began after surviving a near-death experience, where he found himself caught in an avalanche.
This event left him grappling with the aftermath of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) bringing him down a journey of seeking the tools and practices that can help him heal and regulate his nervous system.
On his path of exploring various healing modalities, he was eventually introduced to the power of „Conscious Connected Breathwork“ and he never looked back.
With a deep commitment of supporting others, he has since dedicated himself to helping individuals feel at home within their bodies by claiming the power of their own breath.
My intention with this conversation, was to go beyond the realm of breathwork to discuss Edward's life and perspectives outside of his work. I was especially interested in going to depth on the topic of relationship with the intention to expand beyond the limited perspectives we may have been conditioned into. And one of the core messages that we seem to have constantly came back to was the importance of being in relationship to everything & having a balance between relating to ourselves and a wider community.
Having personally undergone Edward's 400-hour Facilitator training and forming a deep friendship with him over the last years, I am incredibly excited to share this conversation with you. Edward's wisdom and insights have profoundly impacted my life, and I have no doubt that they will touch yours as well.
In this episode, Edward and I explore:
Ed's personal journey of surviving a near-death experience being trapped in an avalanche which initiated him on a journey of healing
The value of break-down moments and how they can help us find a path of deeper alignment & authenticity.
Expanding the understanding of relationships and cultivating a deeper connection with life itself
The lessons he learned being immersed in the Native American traditions and the wisdom passed on by the elders
Embracing a life of steadiness, balance and continuously seeking to find the middle way
How to relate romantically through healthy interdepence, learning how to meet our needs alongside our partners vs. through them
and how his journey of becoming a father has shaped him and what his son Onyx has taught him—
