My journey of self discovery

Welcome!

​

Hi, I’m Colm. As long as I can remember, I’ve loved movement, and meditation gave me peace. But for years I never thought to combine them, until I discovered Qigong.

​​

My journey began while traveling, exploring yoga and music. One day I saw a friend moving with such grace and fluidity it felt like meditation in motion. That was my first taste of Qigong. What started as curiosity grew into a daily practice that now brings me calm, balance, and renewed energy.

​​

How Qigong Transformed My Mindset and Health

​

There was a time I would wake up already overwhelmed, my mind racing before the day began. Long hours at a desk left me drained, even when I tried to rest.

Qigong became my reset. Even five minutes of practice could calm my nervous system, clear my mind, and restore focus. With consistency, the results were life-changing, bringing me more energy, steadier emotions, and a deeper sense of presence.

​​

Through Qigong, I’ve learned to:

​

• Release self-judgment and stress

• Improve sleep, posture, and circulation

• Feel grounded in the middle of chaos

• Deepen my spirituality and inner peace

​

Training & Tools

​

I began learning wherever I could — YouTube, books, articles. One day I found a course that offered structure and guidance from a Sifu (master).

 

Along the way, I studied Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupressure, discovering simple yet powerful tools for sleep, digestion, stress relief, and overall healing.

 

Today I weave these practices into daily life and share them with others seeking clarity, calm energy, and resilience. I’m also part of a thriving community with a shared goal: to make Qigong known and accessible to others.

​

Principles That Guide My Practice

​

Qigong is more than movement. It’s a holistic path that connects body, mind, and spirit. Some of the principles that continue to guide me are:

​

• Song (Relaxation): Letting go of tension to free energy

• Ting (Focus): Using breath and awareness to stay present

• Wu-wei: Effortless action, flowing with life rather than against it

• Balance of Yin & Yang: Knowing when to push forward and when to ease back

​

These teachings can help us to navigate challenges with more calm and balance.

​​

​How I Practice

 

I enjoy practicing Qigong both at home and outdoors, drawing inspiration from the changing seasons.
Outdoor practice strengthens my connection with nature, while indoor sessions offer comfort and focus, showing how Qigong adapts to any setting.

​

Memorable moments often come from practicing outdoors, feeling calm under trees or finding stillness beneath the stars. The contrast between stress and serenity makes these experiences stand out, showing how Qigong deepens connection with nature and presence. Morning routines, quiet afternoons, and evening practice each bring their own sense of renewal.

​

I often adapt my practise to the elements: fire practices help me stay warm in winter, while water practices cool and refresh in summer. ​

​

​The Five Elements — Earth, Metal, Water, Wood, and Fire — reflect qualities within the body and help us stay in rhythm with nature. Strengthening the Water element, for example, supports the kidneys and restores vitality. 

 

Exploring these elements reminds us how deeply we are connected to the natural world. Take the 5 Elements Quiz to explore your own balance.

​

​Foundational forms such as the Eight Pieces of Brocade and Yi Jin Jing ease tension, steady emotions, and bring a quiet joy. Whether it’s two minutes between tasks, 20 minutes in the morning, or a longer session, Qigong remains a flexible companion.​​

​

Daily Life Integration

​

Qigong isn’t something I leave behind after practice; it shapes how I live.

​

• Morning: I start the day with energy and focus.

• Midday: A short practice resets my mind when it begins to clutter.

• Evening: Calming movements help me wind down and sleep more deeply.

​​

Even brief moments — a mindful breath, a gentle movement, relaxing into posture — can shift my state. One of my favourite Qigong practices is the Inner Smile. It invites you to bring a gentle, sincere smile inward, allowing warmth to spread through the body and calm the mind. Over time, this simple practice has brought me a deeper sense of joy and connection.

​​

​Core Practices

 

I’ve found three foundations make Qigong truly effective:

​

1. Relaxation: Tension blocks the flow of Qi; letting go allows energy to move freely.

2. Breath: Deep, natural breathing nourishes body and mind.

3. Awareness: Attention guides energy and helps us meet life with presence.

​

Together they create a mindset of release, openness, and enjoyment.

​

Flow and Authenticity

 

Beneath surface thoughts lies a space of spontaneity. By softening, tuning into breath, and allowing movement, natural flow arises.

​

This is the essence of Wu Wei: effortless action guided by the body’s natural intelligence. It is also where Ziran, meaning “self-so” or authentic expression, begins to emerge.

​

Practicing Qigong in this way reminds me that true vitality is not about control but about trust — in the body, in the breath, and in life itself.

​

A Path for Everyone

 

Qigong is gentle, adaptable, and accessible:

​

• Not flexible? Movements can be done seated or standing.

• Short on time? Even a few minutes creates change.

• Unsure if it “works”? Many people notice benefits within a week.

​

It is less about perfection and more about cultivating presence, one breath at a time.

​

Embracing the Path

 

For me, Qigong is more than an art; it is a way of living in harmony with energy, nature, and spirit. It has given me tools to meet stress with calm, find strength in softness, and approach life with a clearer mind and open heart.

​​

Through my teaching, I aim to share this with others, helping you discover your own resilience, balance, and joy.

​

The Vital Reset Qigong Program

 

I created the Vital Reset Qigong Program as a way to bring these teachings together into a guided journey. This program supports both physical and mental well-being with practical tools for stress relief, personal growth, and healing.

​

If you are ready to explore Qigong and discover your path to harmony and empowerment, I would love to guide you.
