"Qigong Meets Hypnosis—And My Brain Has Never Felt Better!"

Tapping Into the Mind: My Path to Calm (and a Bit of Muscle Too)

If you told me years ago that I'd be geeking out over the power of the mind, practicing self-hypnosis, and doing slow-motion martial arts in my living room, I probably would’ve laughed and carried on lifting weights. But here we are.

My journey toward calm, happiness, and just feeling more me started with a deep curiosity about how the mind works. That curiosity led me into Eastern philosophy, then psychology, and eventually to some fascinating practices like guided imagery, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and hypnotherapy. Basically, I’ve become a bit of a personal development sponge.

One of the things I’ve stuck with the longest—over 12 years now—is Hypnosis & Qigong. Think of it as graceful movements, kind of like Tai Chi's cool cousin, paired with mindful breathing. I've learned the basics through classes, YouTube dives, and plenty of self-study. What keeps me coming back is how much better it makes me feel—mentally, physically, and even emotionally. Eastern martial arts aren’t just about ancient wisdom; they’re legit stress-busters with real health perks.

Of course, I’m still a fan of the gym. I lift weights about three times a week and try to hit 8,000 steps a day (though I won’t lie, some days it's more like a thousand steps... to the fridge). For me, it’s all about balance—inner peace and gains.

Now, here’s where things get interesting: self-hypnosis. Sounds a bit mysterious, right? But it’s honestly one of the best ways I’ve found to reset my mind. And recently, something really clicked when I met Rob De Groof at the Irish Hypnotherapy Conference. Rob introduced this incredible practice he calls HypnoQiong—a blend of Qigong and hypnosis. It's basically moving meditation with a hypnotic twist, and yes, it’s as cool as it sounds.

Since then, I’ve been practicing it daily with one of Rob’s guided recordings, and I’m hooked. It’s grounding, calming, and somehow energizing all at once. I genuinely think Rob is onto something that could help a lot of people slow down and reconnect with themselves in a simple, enjoyable way.

So, big thanks to Rob for sharing this gem with the world.
