"The Breathing Pattern" with Danny Fang

My guest on the podcast this week is Danny Fang, a certified Breathing Mastery coach, Somatic Therapist, a Freediving instructor and a student at the University of Hong Kong studying Buddhism. Danny’s life purpose is to pass on his knowledge through therapeutic breathwork and coaching. He believes breathing and awareness are the most powerful combination to transform one’s life. In the podcast Danny shares his journey to Hong Kong. With good design skills he won design awards however he suffered with depression, long term depression, PTSD and double depression. He tried psychedelic therapy and saw many different therapists. He practiced “Free Diving” and he tells the story of his “mini awakening”. He thought that he should do something in with breathwork he met Dan Brule on line and flew to Mexico to study “Rebirthing Breathwork” a year-long study. From this and other trainings he has developed his coaching practice.  Danny shares a story in the podcast of a successful business woman who realized her career was not her path. Following coaching from Danny she connected back to her heart, she returned home and underwent a successful IVF program and had a child. “I am about waking people up” says Dani and one breath I teach to everyone is the “sigh” – it’s the homecoming breath, it can create a space between thoughts, a most healthy breath.   Timing 5:06 Maybe in Hong Kong I can make a difference…Bringing good design … I had learn how to hustle… I built a design company… I won design awards … however I was getting depressed… 7:56 I needed help… PTSD, long-term depression, double depression… went to therapy…9:39 [An adventure]… coming to Hong Kong… I have always been good at out running ahead of my problems… living hard…12:51 [Not being good enough]… I was trying to prove I was good enough…I was co-dependant…16:28 I tried psychedelic therapy… setting an intention – a quest…19:10 I am not the best …but I’m pretty good at everything I have done… intention is about being in the present… about who you want to be… everything started turning around…21:24 Nobody talks about intention – I have a good story to tell… an ability to coach people…22:14 I was a free diver … I loved teaching my friends… I had a mini-awakening…. 24:15 Maybe I should do something with breathwork… I met a guy online… Dan Brule…that’s my guy… I flew to Mexico… we did “Rebirthing Breathwork”… an extra-ordinary state of consciousness… everything fell into place…26:03 I’m not a healer, I keep you safe while you heal yourself…30:00 [The cynic alchoholic]…30:48 [Practitioner Training]… a year long training…get clients , rebirth them , write reports, 30:05 [Rebirthing Breathwork]… explained…awareness, breathing and relaxation…37:46 [Practicing Rebirthing Breathwork]… plus other practices… medical Qi Gong… I worked with a family psychologist to help with communication with my mum… then my dad had a stroke… I restarted “breathing”… 45:05 [A client Story]…  a successful business person she realized that her career wasn’t her path…she connected back to her heart, she returned home and did IVF and had a child…50:52 [How can listeners help themselves] … I am about waking people up… the breath I teach to everyone is the sigh…  the sigh is the home coming breath…57:44 Life after forty – the last part of growing up… Contact DannyWebsite: thebreathingpattern.comIG: thebreathingpatternContact VincentNewsletter: https://vincent1cd.substack.comPro Coach: https//procoach.app/vincent-hiscoxEmail: [email protected]: Vincent HiscoxIG: vincenthiscox
