QiGong outdoors in nature

Come home to yourself. Come alive to your purpose.

Through QiGong, breathwork, energy medicine, ceremony and transformational mentoring, Breath of Life supports sensitive, intuitive and purpose-driven people in cultivating inner safety, reconnecting with their life force and taking meaningful steps toward the life they truly want to live.

You may have spent years learning about yourself, exploring therapy, spirituality or personal development. You understand a great deal, yet something still feels difficult to embody. Perhaps you long for greater stability, clarity, trust, belonging or the courage to follow what you know is true.

You do not have to know the whole path before you begin.

Breathwork session on the Hyllan

A living path from disconnection to alignment

Breath of Life brings together ancient energy arts and practices that can become part of everyday life. We work with the body, breath, emotions, awareness, intention, Spirit and our relationship with nature.

The intention is not simply to feel better for an hour. It is to cultivate resources you can carry with you: grounding when life feels overwhelming, discernment when choices feel unclear, healthier boundaries, a personal practice that supports you and the confidence to act in alignment with what matters.

At the heart of this work is a simple invitation: to return to the safety, power and wisdom within yourself, so you can live, lead and serve from genuine alignment.

Find your way into Breath of Life

Private sessions and transformational mentoring

An individual space for inner work, energetic exploration, embodied guidance and meaningful change. Your session may include conversation, QiGong, breath awareness, visualization, intuition-led energy practices, reflective exercises and integration.

We begin with what is important to you, and co-create the experience at a pace that honors your choices and boundaries.

Divine Safety

For people who are highly sensitive, spiritually open or carrying an ongoing sense of overwhelm and uncertainty. Divine Safety focuses on building a felt foundation of grounding, self-trust, emotional awareness, practical boundaries and supportive daily practices.

The question at the center is: what becomes possible when you feel safer within yourself?

Purpose Alignment

For the person standing at a threshold. Perhaps an old way of living no longer fits, while the next chapter is still taking shape.

Through mentoring, embodied inquiry, values and vision work, intuitive exploration and practical steps, Purpose Alignment helps you listen more closely to your direction, make courageous choices and begin creating a life that reflects what is true for you.

Medicine Wheel, Path of the Healer & Light Warrior

A deeper educational and initiatory path for those called toward energy work, spiritual practice, service and conscious leadership. The journey draws on Medicine Wheel exploration, elemental practices, nature connection, ceremonial reflection, personal responsibility, discernment and the development of a living relationship with your own gifts.

The aim is not to make you dependent on an external guide. It is to strengthen your capacity to stand in your own wisdom and share your gifts with integrity.

Illumination & intuitive energy sessions

A dedicated space for soulful reflection and energy-medicine practice. Illumination sessions may involve intention-setting, guided awareness, breath, imagery, energetic practices and time for integration.

Many people come to this work when they feel they are carrying something that is difficult to describe in ordinary words. We begin with your lived experience rather than imposing an interpretation.

QiGong, breathwork and energy mastery

Learn to work with breath, movement, attention and the living energy you experience in your body. Join a weekly practice, take part in an immersive workshop or explore a longer course.

Both beginners and experienced practitioners are welcome.

Ceremony, nature and community

Sacred fire, cacao gatherings, despacho, song, breathwork, shared reflection and nature-based ceremonies create space to honor life, mark transitions and feel connected to something larger than ourselves.

Life is a ceremony. We can learn to bring reverence, gratitude and conscious choice into ordinary moments, not only special occasions.

Is this work for you?

You may recognize yourself here if you are sensitive, intuitive or spiritually curious, but struggle to feel grounded. Perhaps you have done considerable inner work, yet still feel stuck in your body, relationships or decisions. You may be navigating a career or life transition, longing for purpose or sensing that you have gifts you are not yet fully living.

You may also be a facilitator, healer, practitioner or conscious leader seeking a more consistent personal practice, greater energetic awareness, clear boundaries and more confidence in supporting others.

You do not need previous experience with QiGong, meditation or energy work to begin. What matters is curiosity, willingness to participate and openness to bringing what you discover into daily life.

Transformation is something we co-create

I do not see healing or growth as something I do to another person. I can bring presence, training, experience, intuition and practices, but you bring the wisdom of your lived experience and the freedom to choose your own path.

We might work with a gentle exercise and an honest conversation. We might meet grief, joy, resistance, clarity, playfulness or a new possibility. Sometimes the most important movement is inward. Sometimes it is a concrete decision you take afterward.

The work is participatory, respectful and grounded in integration. You are always welcome to ask questions, slow down or choose a different approach.

Sacred fire ceremony at Björnön

Meet Sebastian Monomosuke Törngren

Qigong teacher · Breathwork facilitator · Ceremonial guide · Founder of Breath of Life

What happens when the nervous system feels safe enough for the deeper intelligence inside us to emerge?

My work is devoted to exploring that question.

Sebastian Monomosuke Törngren

I am a QiGong teacher, breathwork facilitator, ceremonial guide and founder of Breath of Life, an emerging school of natural healing, embodied wisdom and human potential. Through individual sessions, group practices, workshops, retreats and ceremony, I support people in reconnecting with their life force, their inner knowing and their capacity to live with greater authenticity, purpose and joy.

Since 2016, I have facilitated transformational spaces in Sweden and internationally, bringing together movement, breath, energy, sound, nature, self-inquiry and human connection.

The path that brought me here

My own journey through healing, spiritual practice and self-exploration has shaped how I guide others. I know the experience of searching for a way forward when life feels dark, disconnected or overwhelming. That search led me to explore a wide range of approaches to wellbeing, energy cultivation, embodiment and the deeper relationship between human beings and the living world.

With ancestral roots in China and years of immersive study and practice connected to Andean and Inka energy medicine, including extended periods in the mountains and rainforests of South America, I have developed a deep relationship with Daoist practices, nature-based wisdom and ceremony.

These paths have taught me different ways of listening: to the breath, to sensation, to the elements, to intuition, to the people around us and to the world we belong to.

I sometimes call the meeting of these streams in my own teaching Andean QiGong. It is my way of weaving energy cultivation, embodied awareness and an earth-honoring approach into a living practice.

Ancient traditions, living practice

Medical QiGong and Daoist energy cultivation form an important foundation of my work. They invite us to explore how movement, breathing, attention and intention affect our sense of vitality and presence.

From Andean and Inka-inspired energy medicine and ceremonial traditions, I draw an appreciation for relationship, reciprocity, the elements, the land and the power of meaningful ritual.

Breathwork, coaching, somatic inquiry, sound and creative expression offer further ways to explore what is present and bring the experience into everyday life.

There is a place for depth and stillness, and a place for laughter, singing, movement and play. I value both.

Training and experience

I began facilitating breathwork experiences in 2016 and started teaching QiGong in 2018.

My training includes a 200-hour Medical QiGong practitioner certification with Noble Movement Academy and a year-long Breath of Love breathwork instructor training, alongside more than a decade of study and exploration of energy medicine, meditation, coaching and nature-based traditions.

Over the years, I have facilitated approximately 400 workshops, classes, gatherings and retreats. I have taught QiGong in community settings, at festivals and conferences, and for organizational audiences, including Samhall, Vattenfall, Botkyrka and Vallentuna, as well as at the SafeComp conference hosted at KTH.

I have worked with people in individual sessions, intimate circles and larger groups, in person and online. Across these different settings, the heart of the work remains the same: creating a welcoming space for presence, agency, connection and discovery.

How I guide

My approach begins with listening.

I want people to feel seen, welcomed and respected as they are. Each person has their own history, needs, beliefs and pace. Rather than following the same script with everyone, I draw on the practices that feel appropriate to the intention and setting.

A session may include conversation, movement, breath awareness, reflective questioning, visualization, intuitive energy work, song or ceremonial elements. We make space for what arises, without requiring any particular emotional or spiritual experience.

The purpose is not for you to become more like me. It is to feel more at home within yourself, strengthen your own discernment, and develop the tools and courage to live what is true for you.

My philosophy

I believe life is sacred, and that each of us can learn to relate to ourselves, one another and the Earth with greater awareness and care.

Healing and transformation are not only individual experiences. They affect our families, friendships, communities, our relationship with nature and the generations who follow.

I believe that meaningful change is possible, even when the next step is not yet visible. Sometimes it requires patience, support, fresh perspectives and many small acts of courage. We can learn to honor where we are while continuing to move toward a fuller expression of life.

Breath of Life exists to contribute to a world in which more people feel grounded, connected, capable of living their purpose and inspired to care for the living Earth.

A larger vision

My long-term vision is for Breath of Life to grow into a living school and community for natural healing, embodied wisdom, personal development and conscious service.

A place to explore the foundations of inner safety and self-trust, cultivate a sustainable personal practice, discover our gifts, learn from nature and develop the confidence to offer something meaningful to the world.

At its heart, that vision is simple: that people who have felt lost, cut off from themselves or unsure of their place can discover belonging, purpose and new possibilities for being fully alive.

Take the first step

If this path speaks to you, you are warmly welcome to connect. Whether you are looking for a single private session, ongoing mentorship, a QiGong practice or a meaningful gathering, we can begin with a conversation.

In their own words

Every journey is different. The words below come from people who have joined private sessions, QiGong, breathwork, courses and ceremonies with Breath of Life.

These are personal experiences shared by participants; each person's process and outcomes are their own.

Private healing, mentoring and coaching

“My experience with Sebastians healing was profoundly deep and transformational. I can highly recommend him. He provided such a safe space for me to dive deep into my shadows and wounds with openness. During the session it felt very intense but I always felt guided and held by his loving and calming presence and it's obvious to me that Sebastian has a gift when it comes to extracting dense and blocking energies from your physical/energetic/mental/emotional bodies. From the session I was released from trauma wounds and energies that had been stuck with me for years and I now feel like a newborn man surrounded with inspiration, purpose and power.”

Eli

“Med lugn och trygghet guidade Sebastian i den individuella sessionen med breathwork. Han skapade ett space som gjorde det möjligt att koppla av och låta alla känslor ta plats. Jag upplevde att hans intuition gjorde att fokus blev på det som jag bäst behövde just då. Jag kan varmt rekommendera Sebastian.”

Jeanette

“Coachingen med Sebastian har lett till en fulländig U-sväng, har aldrig varit mer grateful. Känner mig fullständigt "blessed" över hur jag utvecklats och till min omgivning. Från att knappt ha sett något ljus till att nästan bli bländad över all de möjligheter framtiden haft att erbjuda.”

Ludvig Liwenborg

“Healingen Som tände ljuset i hjärtat. Hjärtat som då för drygt ett år sedan var svart av sorg och smärta. Fick ljus i sig. Jag minns att jag häpet sa. ”Det känns som mitt hjärta fått ljusglitter” Sebastian log å sa. - Ett ljus kan tända ett annat Idag är mitt hjärta rött varmt å levande. Tack Sebastian för din medicin visdom och kärlek! Rekommenderar Sebastian Monomosuke Törngren healing å ceremonier varmt!”

Joanna Wendborg

“Jag har känt Sebastian i ett par år och deltagit i hans qigong och breathwork gruppsessioner. Den här gången hade jag en privat session med ett specifikt önskemål. Han lyssnade noggrant och vägledde mig sedan genom processen, med fokus på det jag behövde. Under sessionen uppmuntrade han mig att gå djupare in i mina känslor, vilket jag inte hade kunnat göra själv. Tack vare hans läkande energi, stöd och förmåga att hålla space, kunde vi frigöra en större del av gamla blockeringar i min kropp, vilket är precis det jag ville. Med sin breda kunskap från både taoistiska och schamanska traditioner använde Sebastian olika metoder som skapade en unik och kraftfull energi. Efter sessionen kände jag en lättnad och frihet i min kropp, i kontrast mot svullnaden som jag upplevde innan. Från första stunden kände jag mig trygg och hållen i hans närvaro och jag rekommenderar Sebastian varmt till alla som söker djupare inre läkning och kontakt med sig själva. Stort tack!”

Anastasia

QiGong and breathwork

“Hi Sebastian Just wanted to let you know, yesterday you guided me through the most important breaths of my life. There was something about how you expressed yourself, your voice, your movement paired with what you said. I experienced such a strong force, I made direct contact with my source and the universe. Somehow I will always carry with me this moment, I can feel "a before and an after". I have done a lot of breathwork and qigong but this was something deeper and extra... Wow, I am so thankful Keep doing what you're doing, you're magical.”

Cecilia Tigerbacke

“The energy and vibration yesterday felt very nurturing, nourishing, gentle yet potent purging healing..Sebastian holds space masterfully so it felt relaxing, open powerful and playful..His embodied wisdom, knowledge and consciousness shines through his humble heart and joyful laughters. The qigong practice was even better now than I last saw Sebastian. Later the guided meditation took me/us on a incredible inner journey.. The sharing in the group was very beautiful and heartfelt..If you join you can truly feel a shift in you and your frequency..🫶🪷🙏”

Daniel Doverland

“Sebastian är otroligt inkännande och en otrolig lärare i Qi-gong. Kände hur stressen lämnade och jag blev närvarande i kropp och sinne. Visualiseringsdelen var min favorit 🙏🏼✨”

Linn, Lillsved

“Qigong-sessionen var grundande och skapade en närvaro och ett lugn i sinnet. Passade bra efter en hel dags lektioner, för att samla ihop energin efter dagen. 🙏🤩”

Anette, Lillsved

“Jag har tidigare varit på ett flertal olika events för frigörande andning, men inget har varit lika bra som Sebastians. Han är genuin och lägger verkligen ned hela sin själ vid träffarna. Han skapar en kärleksfull atmosfär som får alla att känna sig trygga så att de helt och fullt kan fokusera på sin närvaro och på sin upplevelse. Fick en stark och befriande kontakt med mina guider. Jag gick därifrån omtumlad, men med en underbar känsla i kroppen. Ser fram emot nästa gång!”

Dean Bilfeldt

Courses and ongoing practice

“The 8-week QiGong course taught me a valuable healing modality that improved my overall well-being. It helped me achieve goals of instilling everyday good habits like eating healthy, exercising, and meditating with ease. It strengthened my spirituality and my connection with nature. Sebastian is also an awesome teacher! He’s authentic, open, and compassionate towards his students. I always can’t wait for the next class!”

Eliza

“8 week QiGong training gave me many benefits and tools to energize my body and calm mind. As a new mom these trainings helped me to connect with my body again, connect to my core strength through breathing. Sebastian is great teacher, I felt welcome in group and motivated by daily inspiration from him. I would recommend this course to everybody who is interested in lifting their spirits and body and learning ancient knowledge! 😇”

Zvjezdjana

“Sebastians 5 Elements Qigong-kurs har gett mig en helhet. Samtidigt som vi övar rörelserna lär han ut det kinesiska medicinska tänkandet bakom. Sebastian har alltid en självklar närvaro som gör mig trygg och avslappnad i övningarna. Jag gillar särskilt vattenfall av solljus-meditationen!! Tack 🙏🏼”

Lars

Ceremony, nature and community

“Tack för eldcermonin!❤️ Hela upplevelsen var magisk för mig. Jag kände mig hållen av de andra deltagarna, både män och kvinnor. Jag är häpen och omtumlad. Det gav mig hopp och riktning. Alla hade något för mig. Naturupplevelsen, sångerna och ceremoni processen var meningsfull. Att få dela sårbart tillsammans, jättefint. Kände mig så älskad och stödd. Att kommunicera och smyga hem genom den mörka skogen till bilen i tillit gav spänning.”

Malin Naturliv

“Var på en kakaoceremoni som Sebastian faciliterade för mig och min partner. Ett starkt sätt att väcka uppmärksamheten kring vad som är värdefullt i livet och i partnerskapet. En varm inbjudan att stanna upp och känna efter, i djupet och vara i kontakt med hjärtat. Därifrån förankra kvaliteten av varm närvaro och tacksamhet i bemötandet av varandra. Rekommenderar detta starkt till andra par!”

QiGong: a practice for body, breath and awareness

QiGong is a Chinese movement and energy-cultivation practice that brings together breath, intention, attention and often slow, flowing movement.

The way I teach is accessible and experiential. We explore grounding, gentle mobility, energy awareness, relaxation, balance and presence. Some classes are quiet and meditative; others include playful exploration, elemental forms, sound or deeper reflection.

No prior experience is needed. You can practice at your own pace, adapt movements to your body and discover how to bring simple exercises into daily life.

Weekly and online QiGong

Practice together through accessible guided sessions that weave grounding, movement, breath, intention and a space to arrive in yourself.

Online sessions offer an opportunity to develop consistency from wherever you are. Outdoor and in-person gatherings bring the added nourishment of nature and practicing in community.

Five Elements QiGong

Explore movement and contemplative practices inspired by the Five Elements — Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth — and discover the different qualities of balance, expression, rest, direction and nourishment they can represent in our lives.

Holistic QiGong courses

Go beyond learning isolated exercises. Longer courses can introduce a personal daily routine, breath awareness, elemental practices, emotional self-awareness and ways to bring your training into relationships, work and ordinary life.

Andean QiGong and energy medicine

My approach to Andean QiGong brings Daoist energy cultivation into conversation with the earth-honoring insights I have encountered through Andean and Inka-inspired practice.

Through breath, intention, movement, elements and connection with nature, we explore what it means to move through life with greater presence and reciprocity.

Breathwork workshops

Conscious breathing offers a direct way to explore sensation, attention and emotional experience. Workshops range from gentle breath-awareness practices to more expressive formats, always introduced with clear choices and attention to individual needs.

QiGong for facilitators and conscious leaders

For practitioners, teachers and space-holders seeking to strengthen presence, energetic awareness, inner steadiness, boundaries and a trustworthy personal practice that supports the work they do with others.

No spiritual background or personal disclosure is required. Sessions are inclusive, professionally facilitated and adaptable to different groups.
