Greetings,
It is with great pleasure I return to Bratislava Slovakia since my last visit in 2020.
I will be offering Healing Sessions and a Seminar during my visit in June 12 – 22
June 2022.
For those of you who do not know me my name is Colin Dempsey and I am visiting from Ireland.
I was trained in Shaolin Qi Gong, along with martial arts, Tai Chi and and healing arts of Taoism and Shamanism .
My aim is to help people through long term or short term problems by bringing their energy into balance..
When our energy is in balance we can flow with all of life, we can flow with the changes and be present with the challenges to ensure the optimum outcome for us and our loved ones.
ABOUT HEALING SESSIONS
I aim to create a safe space for people to open up and let go of their stress, worries, fears or whatever is holding them back in their life during sessions.
A healing session can restore energy to our body, bringing us more vitality and/or help us move through old emotional, physical or mental patterns occurring in our lives.
Each individual session has a time of sharing to see where the healing is needed and how best to help each person.
An openness to the healing helps but is not essential.
Some Tui na massage and energy healing through the hands is part of sessions.
Talking sessions and energy healing without massage are also available.
Each session is 1 hour and the cost is €70
A longer session of 1 hour 30 min is also available on request and includes use of massage with oils, Cost €85

Greetings to you all .
A lot of changes for us all these past 2 years i hope you were able to navigate the times with some trust.
As we begin to return to group activities I’m sure there is excitement and fear its good to sit with it and observe the internal adjustments .In Taoism it is said that any restriction leads to growth in new directions or greater growth when opportunity opens up ..I saw this in my neighbours garden ,They kept for many years a bonsai tree one day they planted the tree outside .Within just a few years this Tree grew so fast into a Oak Tree normally a slow growing type of Tree .
I had to change jobs completely and work as a carpenter and general handy man in the locality along with being a father for the first time i am still adjusting .
I am still quite committed to teach and will offer for October one weekly class Online .possibility of one more in November mid week.
Saturday Morning 10.00 am zoom .starting Saturday 9th . cost €35 4 classes .
Class will be recorded so u can watch all week will be a general approach some breathing grounding stretching and Meditation to quiten the mind
As things open up we can organize a retreat or workshop somewhere nice as well give the opportunity to unwind and ground with group energy again .
There are some groups returning in person its membership only so if you are part of these groups il see you. in person
Thank you Colin, that was just beautiful. Great to bring the qi gong form together like that and the meditation was a wonderful treat. Thank you for remembering me and the others unable to join you this morning – it was good to feel the support of the group even via the recording.
Heres a little gift to get into the rhythm of Spring time .
Here is a class recorded live on Tai chi and deep stretching .

Some photos of Qi Gong by the lake in the area I live, there are many beautiful Nature places to visit. This is on Flaggy shore Burren, Co Clare .
It was pretty cold and we didn’t wait around for too long but I wanted to capture the winter light to share with you.
Winter is the season of slowing down and resting, going within and connecting within. As the winter sets in I have slowed down the rhythm in most of the online classes taking more time to go deep between movements, stretches and in the meditations allowing this natural external rhythm of the season to connect more deeply with our inner rhythm.
Have a nice weekend,
Colin
Hi Guys as Winter comes in the Energy really slows down .With some Online Classes you will get to feel this Energetic rhythm Naturally occur .I noticed it over the weekend less vital energy and a need to rest ,A nice peaceful place rests with you ,Its good to listen to our bodies.
In these gentle yet powerful Qi Gong practices learn to be your own Teacher and Healer .Since taking our classes Online we have been able to reach new people in far away places ,I hope to travel and Hold retreats in some of these places once lock down is over . In the meantime great to see you via zoom .

This is basic way to heal and remove stress from the body and mind. In this set we are working particularly with the Heart Energy and physical heart,
The stretch activates the heart, pericardium, small intestine and thymus gland. The meditation guides our energy through intention to connect with and bring healing to the heart.
I really enjoy sharing these methods so people can learn to heal themselves and not have to rely on too much medicine or advice. I believe the body speaks to us in a intuitive voice and the more we slow down and connect the more we begin to hear what is needed by the body to heal.
I’m here if you have any questions. In the meantime keep smiling, all is well.
Colin
Testimonial from our Saturday morning Qi Gong Improvers Class
“Colin, thank you. Really enjoying classes and doing a little homework thanks to you. It’s good for me after almost 2 years of chemo, surgery and then radiology which finished a year ago. However residual stuff as a result and because lymph notes being removed, etc. Anyway, stretching seems to be the order of the day. The big boys don’t tell us all that. They do their job and congratulate us on how well “we” did. Enjoy the moment. Life is short.“
– We provide results with our Qi Gong programme. This lady has only joined classes 2 weeks ago and as you can see is having huge benefits already. The video below will show you a sample of live classes.

Reduce Employee Stress While Simultaneously Improving Productivity
Workplace Meditation Can Help Your Employees
The workplace can often bring challenge and over time can create stress and tension for employees.
Meditation offers us a respite of inner peace away from the files, computers, clients and build up of daily demands to enable us rebalance and rebuild our inner strength, resilience, calm, openness, creativity, communication, cooperation and relaxation.
My meditation classes are done in four parts:
Movement,
Breathing,
Stretching and
Guided Meditation.
Using the breath and gentle movement to release tension, anxiety or resistance that is being stored in the body allowing the person to relax into their body, into the present moment and into a more allowing state which will enable them to focus, relax, release unnecessary worry or stress and more forward in a more proactive manner.
Not many people can just switch off for an hour and meditate, it is a learning process. A person may close they’re eyes and still be very busy in the mind. Over many years of teaching I have discovered that by teaching in these four parts or methods the student can find quicker, more successful and longer lasting results.
This process naturally releases emotions and negative feelings and allows space within to clear our minds and freshen our Energy System.
In addition there are many physical benefits to preforming this meditation along with movement and stretching, some of which include relief of back pain, stiffness, sciatica, headaches, fatigue,
I am leading classes and retreats in meditation for over ten years and can apply the techniques to team building and group orientated exercises also. Helping team members to recognise their self-worth as an individual, as well as within their team and helping them recognise and work alongside their team members.
The theory of the energy system is also part of the course just a few Minutes each class and I support this with handouts and have audio recordings available for purchase for a nominal fee so people can practice at home if they wish.
Other topics can also be covered, some of which may include Tai Chi or Qi Gong practice.

Thanks to the Sports Partnership for organizing this event with the slightly disabled teenage group in Athenry.

Nature and the Elements ,Sat 6th 10.00 a start to 5 .
Take a look back in history just 100 years our ancestors would use daily movement of muscles and limbs just to prepare a basic meal .
Cutting of the grass ,Making bread milking cows etc list goes on .
Take a look at today’s modern lifestyle ,some individuals are in the gym Yoga or fitness but others are just using fingers to type and sit from car to Office with very little movement .
Tai chi has unique in it moves energy and blood it also focuses the mind if u concentrate on various application ,techniques its known as a moving Meditation .
Chair Qi is done sitting standing and is a combination of MIndfulness ,Tai Chi and Qi Gong postures .
Its great for community groups or just as part of a relaxation Morning
The Importance of grounding
After a week in Slovakia teaching Qi Gong and several one to one healing sessions .I had a theme which continually comes up in energy work once ..when a persons energy is grounded they immediately start to heal,.My work is not to heal anyone but assist them in opening there energy to the Earth firstly .Sometimes skill is needed to sense this and assist in opening certain parts of the body energy system but many people simply are not grounded ,its very easy to ground and only takes a few minutes .I teach it at the start of every class one to one or workshop ..

Esker has been a monastic site since the sixteenth century. It was first inhabited by the Dominicans, who escaped from the Abbey in Athenry during a time of persecution. They left here in the eighteen sixties, and it became for some time the diocesan seminary for Clonfert diocese. We Redemptorists came here in 1901, and since then we have served not only the people of the locality, but also through our missions and novenas, the whole of the west of Ireland. Because of this long history and tradition Esker is a special place; people constantly comment on the aura they sense here, the feeling of peace
Hi i am keeping a day free for keeping still in normal time and after Meditation.
There are great benefits to Qi Gong and Tai chi along with many other interesting practices .The main problem we have in the West is we start chattering and get carried away with thoughts again with others or on our own .
I know it certainly is not easy to be less distracted by your thoughts me included .I feel if we could master this part many of our health and life problems would simply dissapear .
So if u want to learn something teach it so i heard .I will guide some deep Meditations and the second part will be unguided along with time in Nature and Quite time during Lunch for 20 min sessions roughly and at the end of day we will be a step closer to bringing this into our daily lives .
Saturday the 2nd of March lots of seated Meditation and stillness some Meditation experience or Qi Gong training is required for this day .
Lunch provided €55 non working rates available
lessons are available by Skype to work through personal problems discuss training ideas learn more about Qi Gong . we can come up with a Qi /Meditation program to suit your personal needs sessions are confidential .cost €40
