​

What is transformational breathwork?

Transformational breathwork is a very powerful practice that combines a specific circular breathing technique (done with an open mouth) with mindfulness and clear intention. It is designed to facilitate deep healing, release emotional blockages, and expand our consciousness.

​

How does transformational breathwork differ from other types of breathwork techniques?

While there are many forms of breathwork- transformational breathwork focuses on creating a continuous, connected pattern of breath and it is done with an open mouth. It emphasizes the importance of diaphragmatic breathing and encourages the exploration of suppressed emotions and energetic shifts during the practice.

​

What are the benefits of practicing transformational breathwork?

Ah so many..Practicing transformational breathwork can lead to a wide range of benefits and to name a few..It can help reduce stress and anxiety and allow your body to enter a deep state of relaxation, increase self-awareness and expansion of your consciousness, enhance mental clarity, improve emotional well-being, release trauma and stuck energies in the body, and promote overall health and balance in the mind, body, and spirit.

It is amazing for your physical health as the deep, diaphragmatic breathing oxygenates the body, supports detoxification, and improves respiratory function. It can also reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and boost the immune system.

What I also love is that it helps me release my limiting beliefs and thought patterns that no longer serve me. This process opens up space for personal growth, empowerment, and the cultivation of positive change. I would not be where I am today if it wasnt for my daily breathwork practice that helped me overcome so much.

​

How does transformational breathwork affect the mind and body?

Transformational breathwork helps with deep relaxation and activates the body's natural healing mechanisms. It hyper-oxygenates the cells, stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, and promotes a sense of calmness and mental clarity. It can also help release physical tension and promote emotional release.

​

Can transformational breathwork help with stress and anxiety?

OMG YES! Transformational breathwork is my most favorite tool for managing my stress and anxiety. The deep, conscious breathing activates the relaxation response and calms the nervous system, allowing you to release tension, promote emotional balance, and experience a greater sense of inner peace- I feel so blissed out after a session.

​

Is transformational breathwork a form of meditation?

Transformational breathwork can be seen as a form of active meditation. While traditional meditation often focuses on stillness and quieting the mind, breathwork uses the breath as a focal point, allowing you to enter a meditative state while actively engaging the breath. I would say that breathwork is easier than mediation and the reason I got hooked was because my mind got so quiet, no busy monkey mind, no anxiety, no stress..just presence and bliss which is something at least I haven’t experienced in a more traditional meditation.

​

What are the potential risks or side effects of transformational breathwork?

Transformational breathwork is generally safe. However, it's very important to first work with a qualified and experienced facilitator who can guide you through the process- like myself. Some may experience temporary physical sensations, emotional releases, or light-headedness during the practice. It's so important to honor your body and communicate any concerns with your facilitator. Also know that you are in charge of how deep you want to go. You are your own medicine woman/ man. You control the depth and the speed yourself so if it ever becomes too overwhelming you just slow down your breath or come back to nose breathing.

​

How long does a typical transformational breathwork session last?

The duration of a transformational breathwork session can vary. It typically ranges from 60 to 90 minutes, allowing enough time for deep exploration, integration, and relaxation. If you want to dive even deeper into the world of breath I suggest you join one of my retreats or breathwork trainings where we do longer and more intense breathwork session.

 

Can transformational breathwork be combined with other therapeutic modalities?

Absolutely! Transformational breathwork can complement other healing modalities such as my preferred way of mixing Cacao with breathwork but also sound healing, yoga, meditation, reiki or bodywork. It can enhance the effectiveness of these practices and provide a powerful avenue for self-exploration and healing.

​

Are there any scientific studies or research supporting the effectiveness of transformational breathwork?

Scientific research on this specific breathwork technique is still very limited but I believe in personal experience and testimonials which truly shows the benefits of transformational breathwork. Studies on the physiological and psychological effects of conscious breathing are emerging though, showcasing the potency of breathwork as a holistic modality for well-being and healing.

​

How can I find a qualified transformational breathwork practitioner?

Look no further. I am here to support you on your breathwork journey and I have also been training other amazing teachers around Sweden so if I am too far from you and you don't want to join my online offerings I am happy to guide you to any of my students.

​

Is transformational breathwork suitable for everyone, or are there any contraindications?

Transformational breathwork is generally safe and suitable for most individuals. However, there may be some contraindications or precautions to consider. For example, pregnant women, individuals with certain respiratory conditions, cardiovascular issues, or a history of certain psychological disorders should consult with their healthcare provider before engaging in breathwork practices. It's crucial to disclose any pre-existing medical conditions or concerns to the facilitator to ensure a safe and tailored experience.

If you suffer from asthma- please bring your inhalator as you might need to feel it to heal it as my teacher loves to say.

If you suffer from PTSD I suggest you book a 1:1 session with me or someone else who is experienced in trauma healing before you join a group session.

 

Can breathwork be beneficial for individuals with trauma or PTSD?

YES definitely! Breathwork can be a very powerful healing modality for people with trauma or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, it is very important to work with a trained breathwork facilitator who specializes or has experience in trauma-informed practices. Breathwork offers a gentle and supportive approach to processing trauma by regulating the nervous system, releasing stored emotions, and fostering a sense of safety and empowerment. It is essential to approach trauma work with care, ensuring proper support and guidance throughout the breathwork journey.

I am trained in emotional release with Nasomo as well as TRE and I would love to hold a safe and sacred space for you during your healing journey.

 

Are there any specific preparations or guidelines to follow before joing a transformational breathwork session?

Wear comfortable clothing, avoid heavy meals immediately before the session, and drink a lot of water as breathwork can be detoxifying.. It's also important to communicate any specific concerns, intentions, or goals with me beforehand. If you are joining me online it is important that you create a quiet and sacred space for the practice, free from distractions. Headphones are encouraged for better sound quality.

​

What can I expect during a transformational breathwork session?

During a breathwork session, you can expect to lie down in a comfortable position, guided by my instructions- no experience needed. The session typically begins with a calming breath technique, followed by a grounding meditation before we get going with the deep and connected mouth breathing. You may experience physical sensations, emotions, or shifts in consciousness and I am always around to provide support and guidance throughout the process. If we do a in person session I do hands on healing, sound healing as well as aromatherapy and there is usually time for integration and reflection afterwards and if we are in a group session we do a longer sharing.

​

How many sessions of transformational breathwork are typically recommended to experience noticeable benefits?

The number of sessions required to experience noticeable benefits will of course be different for each individual. Some people may experience immediate shifts and benefits after just one session, while others may require multiple sessions to go deeper into their healing journey. It is often recommended to start with a series of sessions, such as three to five sessions, to allow for a more comprehensive exploration and integration of the practice.

​

Can transformational breathwork help with physical ailments or chronic pain?

YES! Transformational breathwork can really support physical well-being by helping to release tension, improve oxygenation, and activate the body's self-healing mechanisms. Breathwork is always my to go to when i have aches and pain in my body and it really helps every time.
