What is Northern Shamanic Breathwork?
Northern Shamanic Breathwork by Merja Kallunki is a deep breathing practice that can be guided individually or for a group. It is based on traditional deep breathing technique, honouring natural cycles, and transcendental experiences.
What the practice includes
Conscious breathing cycles to balance mind and body
Shamanic resonance from drums and soundscapes
Meditation and visualization to deepen connection
The goal is to help the participant reach a deeper state of consciousness through deep, active, and powerful breathing. Although the practice uses strong breathing, it is underpinned by a trauma-informed approach and respect for the resilience of the nervous system. The practice can help increase body awareness and mental clarity, and deepen the connection to nature and one's own inner power. Research suggests that breathwork can also help find a new kind of balance and vitality.
Northern Shamanic Breathwork is a breathwork method influenced by Nordic shamanism, based on holotropic breathwork practice combining ancient traditions with modern body awareness and self-development. This powerful and profound practice offers an opportunity to connect with your inner world, nature, and collective consciousness. The method is suited for those who wish to deepen self-knowledge, release blocked emotions, and open space for creativity and spiritual growth.
BioDynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release System (BBTRS)
A multidimensional somatic therapy working through six integrated elements: breath, movement, sound, touch, emotion, and meditation. Powerful for those seeking to reconnect with emotions, balance the nervous system, and find inner clarity.
Breath, movement, sound, touch, emotion, and meditation
Nervous system balancing
Inner clarity and emotional integration
This method is especially powerful for those who want to reconnect with their emotions, balance the nervous system, and find deep inner clarity. The breathing techniques activate the autonomic nervous system and allow the body to shift into a restorative and open state.
“Breath is the bridge between the physical and the spiritual. The inhale is birth, the exhale is death, and between them lies eternity.”
Scientific research increasingly supports the impact of conscious breathing on trauma recovery and emotional regulation. Studies show that breathwork can activate theta and delta waves — promoting deep relaxation and neuroplastic change.
“The practice opened something so deep in me that I haven't naturally had time to process it all yet, but I still wanted to thank you for making this significant experience possible. This was surely some kind of turning point in my life.”
