My third week of attending the 30-day program was the hardest one yet. I felt fatigued throughout the whole week, sometimes more, sometimes less. I strongly felt my back leg muscles (in the same sense as muscle soreness). I slept well. I repeatedly observe how I wake up a bit...Read more
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.


Customer reviews
Even during the day, I often notice that I’m squeezing a muscle unnecessarily. Which means that my body awareness and attention are improving, the more I feel it and know what to do to relieve the tension.
I don’t know how to release all the pent up anger, rage, and fear… emotions. I know, a cliché.
I am grateful to attend your guided exercise program thanks to my daughter Barbara. I realized that I urgently need them because I have problems that I don't know and I don't know how to solve, reduce or stop them. For some, I knew that they had their origin from...Read more
My daughters scoliosis
In June 2016, we discovered that our then-11-year-old daughter had scoliosis. A visit to the doctor and an x-ray scan confirmed that it was a 22-degree shift. They immediately recommended a conservative treatment...
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...Read more
I am more decisive and bold in my decisions. Instead of being scared and/or angry.
A high level of knowledge, an understandable and empathic leadership style, and a clear and logical explanation of conditions and situations are my first thought when asked about Mr. Aleš Ernst. The 30-day program of the AEQ method gave me a rich itinerary for every day from the first day...Read more
Aleš, thank you for an even deeper insight into the AEQ method.
I decided to sign up to the program due to the chronic pain in my left hip and back, which appeared in the middle of December and was always present, sometimes more, sometimes less. After an active AEQ therapy, the feeling of pain became a bit stronger. With the start...Read more
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.
Thank you for the explanations, answers, resolved dilemmas, and all the knowledge imparted.
The key component that made the difference for me is understanding the situation through explanation and, as a result, a new possibility of acting more efficiently. Even a partial awareness of the causes that led to SMO/SMA was enough for me to start turning the wheel again in the opposite...Read more
In conversations with my sons, I’m able to set boundaries in a calm and respectful way
After years of effort trying to make a change in my relationships, I told myself, "This is the last thing I’m going to try." During the first program on relationships, I experienced a lot—uncontrollable crying and body tremors.
Thank you for all the important insights, even though they hurt
At the beginning of the program, I was frequently overwhelmed. I was really trying to keep up and kept asking myself what I was afraid of, what I was running from. I became increasingly restless each day. Everything felt too much, I longed...
Testimonial on AEQ workshops/group coaching
Since my first session with Aleš in 2016, all the experiences I’ve had with him have been full of inspiration and transformation. At the time, I was in need of help because I had severe back pain and ischiatic pain – I wasn’t able to walk for weeks. The pain...Read more
I am so deeply grateful for committing to the AEQ method.
Through one’s awareness and receiving proper explanations one can go very deep into changing his patterns and habits. Aleš has a lot of knowledge and understands the connection between an individual’s situation and his somatic issues well. Highly recommended.
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...Read more
I’m proud of myself for joining this program
I joined the 30-day relationship program because I’ve been single for some time. I grew up in a family where alcohol was present and where I was the one fixing my parents’ problems. I was the parent in the family, not the child, as it should have been.
I no longer have anxiety or panic attacks, and I can more easily accept all the situations that happen in my life.
At first, I noticed how free my rib cage became and the increased ability to express happiness, love, and anger. Now I am learning how to use my anger more effectively – not suppressing it but also not going completely mad because, during the program, I also allowed myself this...Read more

COVID OFFERED US TIME AND A REVALUATION OF PRIORITIES
And most importantly – it didn’t make most people ill. Time, movement, and the coronavirus. Let’s use this time to slow it down.

We usually don’t like ourselves because our body abandoned us in our time of need
We are raised and taught that we need to do something constantly. This belief stems from modern consumer society. We surrender to it only if our body and feelings cannot influence our thoughts, decisions, and actions.

THINKING PATTERNS DURING EXERCISE
With too many unwanted results, injuries, rapid mood swings, chronic fatigue, and an emotional inability to deal with disordered interpersonal relationships, we need to honestly ask and look for answers to why we exercise or train this way.
