Shamanic Breathwork with Nina Sartorelli

The Shamanic Breathwork Ceremonial Process allows clients to release old wounds and dysfunctional patterns and transform them. Often times lost soul parts are regained in order for the client to remember their true essence. The SBW process works as a chain reaction of empowerment, bringing wholeness and healing back into the life of the client, the lives of those they love, and to the world at large. The Shamanic Breathwork process acts as a portal between the timeless wisdom of ancient traditions and the emerging new paradigm methods of healing and teaching by creating a bridge for body, mind, heart, soul and spirit to connect as one.

The SBW ceremony begins by establishing safe and sacred space through various rituals and ceremonies such as smoke cleansing while invoking intentions and prayers for the highest good of the journeyer(s). The SBW process usually occurs while the journeyer is laying down on a mat with an eyemask and other journeying accessories. They are invited to call on their Shaman Within, and the energies that speak to them, such as spirit guides, power animals, ancestors, and higher powers. As the drumming begins, breathers are invited to utilize cyclical rhythmic breathing while chakra-attuned music helps guide them on their journey. The ceremony ends with a processing session guided by the facilitator to help the client process and gain a deeper understanding of their journey.

The shamanic breathwork pattern results in the neurochemical release of N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) which creates a natural altered dreamlike state. In this state, clients are able to safely navigate through and release unprocessed trauma, old programming, and dysfunctional patterning. Studies show that DMT is capable of activating neural stem cells and creating new neurons. This release of DMT allows for new neural pathways to be created that aid in the processing of trauma. It is important to remember that the Shamanic Breathwork ceremony is a highly individualized process and each journey will always differ from the last.
