Today I felt a need to reach out and tell you a story. I had a patient with chronic shoulder pain. Immediately after examination, I knew that the primary cause for her pain was not shoulder calcification but excessive contraction of muscles and connective tissues that has been active for...
WELCOME TO THE AEQ® WORLD
ENSURE A FREER, MORE RESPONSIBLE AND BEAUTIFUL FUTURE!
Take responsibility and take care of your health!
AEQ® METHOD
We should never forget our own responsibility for our health. We should not allow ourselves to be victims of pain. Let's change our view of the world, that's the only way we'll be able to live a more beautiful and free life.
What is the AEQ method?
The meaning of AEQ: aequitas is the Latin concept of justice, equality, symmetry or honesty.
With the AEQ approach to chronic conditions, we learn the importance of proper movement. By consciously and regularly performing AEQ exercises, the habits which cause physical (and psychological) imbalance can be changed.
Through AEQ exercises, the AEQ method allows us to feel what we couldn’t feel before due to sensory-motor amnesia. We can increasingly use new ways of moving and behaving. Learning the AEQ method by simultaneously acting on the body and consciousness allows for a real change in the subconscious, if this process, which is anything but fast and easy, is prepared to be carried out in an appropriate way.
The first step towards change is self-awareness. We mostly operate as machines, self-sufficient, automatically programmed and under the tutelage of old habits that were developed from reactions on emotional events from the past. This affects our physical state - chronic pain, as well as our psychological state - depression, anxiety, anger, emotional instability.
By learning the AEQ method, we learn how to act consciously. We train our consciousness as an observer of our own thoughts, which allows our decisions and actions to execute in a way that support our goals and desires. If we wish to change ourselves holistically, the change must take place in our consciousness, body and subconscious. All three branches should be treated as equal.
The AEQ method thus teaches us self-awareness and control over movement, thoughts, and actions, restoring the ability to manage our muscles, body, will, and thoughts. It offers an original way to relax muscles, affecting stress relief.
It is extremely important to develop the ability to feel your own body. This can be improved and maintained with AEQ exercises®.

CONSISTS OF
AEQ METHOD
The AEQ method focuses on understanding the influences of physical laws of our body structure, our bodily functions, and the functioning of our mind on our behaviour and lifestyle. It allows for a better understanding of interdependence and the connection of the body, subconscious patterns and consciousness. This helps us better understand what prevents our state and well-being not being the way we would like it to be.
AEQ RELATIONSHIPS
We cannot solve chronic issues without fixing our relationships first. AEQ relationships help us understand the meaning of emotional maturity and efficiency, as well as their role in understanding relationships within us, and with our surroundings. Higher emotional maturity helps us raise the possibility of making the right choices, take the right actions and achieve better results.
AEQ BREATHING
AEQ breathing improves the efficiency of our respiratory system and increases the possibility that we create the energy for action aerobically, thus obtaining higher values of vital energy quicker, and with it, us having a greater impact on our surroundings. It raises awareness of the role of time, and it’s influence on the effectiveness of our actions. Connecting breathing with time improves the abilities of our consciousness to accept the flow of time and the fact that there is a right time for each task. It also help us learn that knowing and relating to time and understanding the law of time is key to eliminating chronic conditions.
AEQ EXERCISES
AEQ exercises are an important part of all three branches of the AEQ approach. Exercises lower chronic muscle contraction and fascia, thud lowering the body’s resistance and allow the subconscious to make the changes necessary for different behaviour and better relationships. This, in turn, helps us eliminate chronic conditions. Lower resistance allows for a clearer and faster communication from inside and outside of us, clearer self-perception, and more correct actions.
Allow us to give you back control into your own hands with the help of the AEQ method
With the AEQ method, we safely, gently, and reasonably eliminate the root causes of chronic pain. This is an learning process, through which we ‘’retrain’’ ourselves and consciously alter our behaviour, posture and movement. It is an active, not passive, method. It is a successful way of sensory-motor organic learning, which teaches us how to eliminate the root causes of most chronic pain in our muscles, freeing us of movement restrictions that plague our lives.
With the help of the AEQ method, you will be able to learn how to move correctly, and through AEQ exercises and explanations of these processes on which the approach is based on, change your habits and vices that cause the imbalances inside your body. Both AEQ exercises and well as the explanations, allow your brain to consciously redirect, gradually reshape through neuroplasticity and then control a new way of movement.
But how could it be otherwise, when nothing hurts anymore, when you wake up rested, feeling energetic, comfortable and pain-free in your body!
Joy is key to maintaining youthful and care-free behaviour, while a healthy body is the key to freedom!
What problems do you have?
Do your muscles ache due to a recent injury? Is there a source of pain inside your body for a longer period, and you’re of the opinion that this is the result of long sitting sessions, walking incorrectly, tensions in the workplace or at home? Perhaps you’ve been suffering from chronic pain for years now, which have been deemed as such by the medical profession and are now trying to relieve them with painkillers and physiotherapy, none of which are successful? Are you under constant stress, which is starting to show on your general well-being? Do you wake up with a dry throat in the morning?
THE MOST COMMON PROBLEMS THE AEQ METHOD CAN HELP SOLVE:
- Chronic back pain
- Herniated disc
- Joint wear
- Headaches
- Scoliosis
- Migraines
- Chronic leg pain
- Chronic arm pain
- Asthma
- Allergies
- Dermatological conditions
- Sleep apnea
- Burnout
- Chronic fatigue
- Insomnia
The AEQ method understands and teaches that pain is just a piece of a wider puzzle that is the pattern of our dysfunction. These patterns reflect our usual responses to stress, which include muscle contraction.
Sensory-motor amnesia and the dysfunction that it causes, is manifested in four special holistic movement patterns, which we call the green light reflex (go forward), red light reflex (stop, go back), the trauma reflex (the result of injuries) and the freeze reflex (panic or life-threatening fear-paralysis).
How to insert AEQ into your life
START LEARNING THE AEQ METHOD
AEQ learning is best started by participating in 30-day AEQ learning programs. The program enables greater regularity and orderliness of learning the method, as the teaching is organized at the same time every day and is conducted live.
ACTIVELY LEARN THE AEQ METHOD
You can also learn the AEQ method individually. This approach is particularly suitable for more severe forms of chronic pain and conditions. You can learn from the author of the AEQ method or from teachers of the AEQ method at various levels.
Scheduling an appointment
The introductory conversation is appropriate for those that wish to find out how or if the AEQ approach can help with your problems. The conversation can take place in person in the Centre of the AEQ method in Brežice, or online through Zoom.
You will tell me more about your chronic conditions and problems, as well as the events that took place in your past, which most often create the basis for your chronic conditions in the present. Based on what you tell me, I’ll be able to give you an opinion and view from the perspective of the AEQ method about the reasons for your current situation. I will also help you determine the most appropriate path of learning the AEQ method to achieve the necessary change in understanding yourself and others.
I’ll explain the importance of changing the connection and perception of yourself and others, which must improve accordingly if we wish to learn, feel or change our behaviour. After the change, we can move onto improving our life and solving problems in which we have found ourselves in.
You can, however, schedule a consultation session, live or through Zoom, where we’ll be able to talk about the problem that caused you to come to me. Then we’ll be able to determine the most optimal course of action and way to fix the problem, the type of program with which you will start learning the AEQ method, and set dates for individual sessions, if it is necessary.

AEQ teachers
Future teachers of the AEQ method will gain an increasingly comprehensive and widely applicable perception of the way the AEQ approach functions and will be able to eliminate unnecessary muscular tension in the body. They will increasingly understand the differences between mind and body, and the importance of improving mutual communication between them.
Life events, especially those from our childhood, create a need for chronic tension, on which we become dependent and are thus enslaved by them. They limit our mobility, lower our efficiency and ability to feel ourselves.
The teacher’s main task is to guide a person towards achieving inner freedom. To achieve such a state, it is first necessary to eliminate the tension keeping the body trapped. The body is molded into a shape and separated, it’s functioning completely distorted. Without resolving these states, inner freedom is impossible, leading to an illusionary conviction that we’re thinking, feeling, and acting according to our will.
However, the teacher must first achieve a state of inner freedom.

Her body immediately responded to therapy but only to gentle techniques not to strong ones.
With a better understanding of myself, which I deepened during the program, I better understand why certain things represent greater limitations for me than others.
Raising emotional maturity is not an easy thing; there is no room for pretense. Aleš led the program professionally and creatively, with many additional explanations, which enabled the participants to understand our states and the feelings we experienced during the program. Sometimes the explanation was not pleasant to hear; it...

All of the steps that I have taken with the support of AEQ exercises have taken me in the desired direction.
I am a psychotherapist, a middle-aged woman. I have many work hours behind me and am generally happy with my life. I really enjoy my work. This might be why I worked so much; going to extremes was very common. My body began warning me about this a few years...
I feel confidence and inner peace. I took a very brave step and quit my job. It makes me happy that I was able to make a new step forward in my life.
It made me feel so excited when I realized that I can intertwine the AEQ method with my career as a physiotherapist and I also learned a lot about myself as well. I had a thought that there is a long and challenging journey ahead of me. Then I did...
The pain is washed away through tears that look so real but they are just emotions that we didn’t allow ourselves to feel in the past.
I have been dealing with hip pain for a while now. The results that I got back from traditional doctors have not shown anything special. They offered me painkillers but I rejected them because I knew this was not the right solution. The pain escalated at a workshop where two...
In just one week – since starting the exercises – I can do things about 85% of the time without pain.
Ever since I joined the workshop, for the first time after 5 or 6 years, I no longer feel excruciating pain in my entire back and should when I play the violin. I can now actually play the entire, very demanding, 15-minute composition and not feel tired afterwards. I no...
Thinking about the AEQ method
Is AEQ really just a method to effectively re-establish the brain-muscle connection and eliminate sensory-motor amnesia? Or is it perhaps hiding something more inside it? It also works on levels that are...
I often laugh to myself when I notice something about myself.
But I am aware that I still have a long way to go before I can feel my muscles and know how to consciously relax them. You gave us excellent instructions on the program and I realize that for certain things, everyone has to figure it out on their own...
When I first read Aleš’s book “Lahkotno iz kroničnih bolečin,” I only partially understood the importance of AEQ exercises.
For many years I've had problems with my spine. Physiotherapy and occasional exercises for acute pain only had a short-term effect. Visiting a chiropractor also didn't bring a long-term effect or an end to the pain.
Aleš, you have given me a lot with your method. Thank you.
This was my second breathing program. Last year I attended the 60-day course, and this year I attended the 30-day one. Nine months have passed since the start of last year's program and the end of this year's. In between, there is training for the AEQ teacher's Level 1. In...
I am looking forward to attend your next breathing program.
After doing your 30-day program my kyphosis disappeared. I got up in the morning, touched my neck because I felt something was different, and I could not believe that there was no bump on my neck, or at least it was so much smaller that it felt different. Have my...
And the body doesn’t follow my orders. Interesting. It listens, but it adds in a move or two.
I tried a few approaches already, but these exercises and the exercise routine have shown the most effect. Or at least they’re the most promising, because I still have quite a few months or years of change ahead of me. More than 40 years of hiding is not revealed in...
Now I already know that the subconscious mind does not like rapid changes and changes in itself. The point is not to give up at the first resistance.
I joined the 30-day program of the AEQ method with the intention of eliminating or at least lessen the pain in my back, neck, knees and my feet, which I have cultivated in my life through various activities. Or so I thought. After the introductory session and the first two...
