Heart of Man

Pete Byrne is a musician, breathwork facilitator and mindset coach that helps high-level entrepreneurs build lives of sustainable happiness and fulfillment. He is not only a remarkable artist and facilitator but he's also the host of the „Alive and Aligned Podcast“ – a show dedicated to inspiring others to live authentically and in alignment with their own truth From an early age, Pete discovered his passion for facilitating transformative experiences, initially channeling this through becoming a musician. This brought him down a path of traveling across the world to offer his voice through life performances and shows. As health challenges began to emerge caused by the lifestyle of being a full-time musician, Pete was driven to point where he needed to assess a more sustainable way of living that didn't ask him to live at the cost of his own connection & vitality. This led him down a path of exploring various different healing modalities in order to find deeper regulation within himself – eventually being introduced to „ Conscious Connected Breathwork“, which took him down a journey of becoming a facilitator himself. He began to explore how he was able to use his previous skills to now facilitate transformative change combining breathwork, coaching & music. Pete and I connected early on in my own journey in Bali, and he has become a dear friend in the process, who has as well deeply supported me through my own personal challenges. With the launching of this Podcast, I knew we had to come together for a conversation so he can share his personal journey, experiences and wisdom. With a wide array of lessons & insights he learned along the way, I am sure this will be incredibly valuable for all you, listeners. In this episode, we go into: Pete's personal journey of being a successful musician, discovering breathwork & stepping into the role of an „Artist“ Embracing our so-called „shadows“ & exploring the aspects of us that we have been taught to believe are unacceptable Seeing life as a container & learning to work with our triggers vs. fighting them Stepping beyond the nice guy persona & connecting to a more empowered version of ourselves The importance of embodiment and why mindset alone isn't enough Creating „Conscious“ the musical, claiming one's own unique voice and moving past old limiting beliefs Using music and comedy as a tool for transformation to help others — Follow Pete on IG | @itspetebyrne Watch "Conscious: The Musical" online: https://www.awakenedutainment.com/conscious-the-musical Listen to "Safe to be me" now live on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/track/2MKfqrKVocg1NLsT1FLqHf?si=d3bbd169a2d74caa Follow Alex on IG | @alexlehmann_

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 — Follow Edward on IG | @edwarddangerfield Find out more about FBR & Breathwork Bali | https://www.breathworkbali.com/ Follow Alex on IG | @alexlehmann_

On this podcast, we explored Jord's extensive journey, from his earlier days as a competitive athlete to his role as a founder of a thriving start-up company. This path eventually brought him to a near-fatal breakdown through emerging health challenges leading him to be be hospitalized. In hindsight, he described his experience with these words „My unconscious parts were forcing me to abandon myself in the pursuit of success.“ Through Jord's personal story, we take an in-depth look into the roles and motivators that often govern so many of our actions. Together, we move into a discussion of how we can bring awareness to the sub & unconscious programs that may be guiding us and from there, we embark on an exploration of how we can move into deeper alignment with our own values & needs. Having spoken with Jord, I see that at the core of his approach, lies a commitment to having an honest look into what's keeping us stuck, taking ownership of that and learning how to live a more integrated life that's connected to our own intrinsic values, integrity and authenticity. In this episode we explore: Jord's personal journey of being a successful start-up entrepreneur and the breakdown that required him to re-evalaute his way of living The personas & mechanisms that govern so many of our actions along with what's required for us to step into a path of deeper integrity and authenticity The importance of pain, how we can be with our own discomfort and cultivating the capacity to „sit with ourselves“ How we can tend to our unmet needs in sustainable ways The value of working with a trained practitioner that can support us in revealing the aspects that we have yet to integrate in ourselves Being able to meet our edges sustainably and finding the value of a „big baby step“ Finally, what it means to be self-led and the necessary steps to come into deeper leadership — Follow Jord on IG | @jordcuiper For more information on Jord's upcoming Group Mentorship | https://www.jordcuiper.com/from-the-core Follow Alex on IG | @alexlehmann_
