AEQ® METHOD

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

With the AEQ method, you will learn the importance of correct movement through conscious and regular exercise. Your habits that cause your body imbalance will change.

The AEQ method and AEQ exercises allow us to feel what was previously unfelt and to increasingly use a new way of movement and behavior.

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®. Being self-aware is extremely pleasurable, even narcissistic; you pay attention to yourself and monitor your body’s functioning with a conscious mind. Who am I to be so important? We are as important as the people around us, whom we should respect or love as ourselves. Therefore, let’s think about ourselves and try to get to know ourselves in-depth and nurture the spiritual explorer within us.

AEQ METHOD

The AEQ method increases the understanding of the influence of the physical laws of the body structure, body functions, and the functioning of the mind on the way of behavior and life. It enables a better understanding of the interdependence and connection of the body, subconscious structures, and consciousness to better understand why we are not as we would like to be, even though we could be.

AEQ EXERCISES

AEQ exercises reduce chronic stiffness of muscles and fascia and thus reduce the body’s resistance and subconscious in introducing changes necessary for different behavior and relationships that eliminate chronic conditions. Less resistance enables clearer and faster communication inside and outside of us, clearer self-perception, and more correct actions.

AEQ BREATHING

AEQ breathing improves the efficiency of the respiratory system and increases the possibility of generating energy for actions aerobically, thus obtaining higher values of life energy faster and with it having a greater impact on the environment. It raises awareness of the role of time and its influence on the effectiveness of actions. Connecting breathing with time increases the ability of the consciousness to accept the actual passage of time and the fact that every work requires an appropriate time and that knowing and relating to time and understanding the law of time is key to eliminating chronic conditions.

AEQ RELATIONSHIPS

AEQ relationships enable understanding of the concept of emotional maturity and efficiency and their role in regulating relationships within and between us and the environment. Higher emotional maturity makes it possible to increase the probability of making the right decisions, the right actions, and better results.

Are you in pain?

Do your muscles hurt due to a recent injury? Does something in your body hurt you for a longer period, so you assume that it’s the result of sitting, a wrong step, tensions in the workplace, or at home? You may have had chronic pain for years, which was diagnosed by the medical profession and tried to relieve the pain with painkillers and physiotherapy, both unsuccessful? Are you in constant stress, which shows in your general wellbeing? Are you waking up with a dry throat?

THE MOST COMMON PROBLEMS THE AEQ METHOD CAN HELP SOLVE:

For the listed problems, which we all know of, the solution is offered by the AEQ method developed by Aleš Ernst from the clinical somatics of the philosopher Thomas Hanna for many years.

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 chronic pain causes in the long run. It’s an education process through which we retrain and consciously change our behavior, posture, and movement. It’s an active, not passive method, a successful way of sensory-motor organic learning, which teaches us how to remove most of our chronic pain in the muscles and movement restriction. 

You will learn how to move correctly with the help of simple exercises of the AEQ method and change your habits that cause an imbalance in your body. AEQ exercises allow your brain to redirect and gain control of a new way of movement. Not only will you, if you will do the exercises regularly, walk more fluidly, and without pain, you will also get rid of your painful emotional baggage, stress, and anger. 

How different should it be at all, when you are no longer in pain, when you wake up rested, feel energetic, comfortable, and painless in your body!

Joy is key to maintaining youth and joy, and a healthy body is the key to freedom!

While with most methods, we try to eliminate pain on a certain body part (neck, hips, back, …), the AEQ method understands that pain in the body is only a piece of a larger pattern of our dysfunction. These patterns show how we react to stress, which involves muscular contraction.

Sensory-motor amnesia and the dysfunctions it causes manifest in three possible 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).

My daughters scoliosis
I am grateful to you, Aleš, for making these programs available and for helping us.
The truth that Aleš gives is objective, supported by strong arguments, a lot of knowledge, and experience.
The progress made is exceptional.
I would recommend the exercises to anyone suffering with chronic pain.
I am more decisive and bold in my decisions. Instead of being scared and/or angry.
I had a poor connection with my body, but I wanted to achieve this by force.
HOW TO HEAL YOURSELF FROM PAIN – THE EFFECTS OF AEQ PRACTICE
All of the steps that I have taken with the support of AEQ exercises have taken me in the desired direction.
I am creating more and more order in my relationships, I am more aware, and I am able to realize faster what do I want and what I not want and how to achieve that.

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…

The 30-day program left a big impression on me. It’s a whole different feeling when a teacher guides your through the exercises. The program instills a routine in you, so that you may perform exercises by yourself later. I did researched plenty of methods, but something was still missing.

I haven’t noticed any progress in terms of improving my condition (SMA) yet, because I couldn’t do movement exercises regularly because of the pain (I was doing breathing protocols). Still, I began to notice more and more the increased emotional maturity regarding regulating my behavior in relationships with people. I am more and more authentic, and I express what I feel at the given moment – in a mature way – and I no longer try to please others.

I just wanted to say that your 30-day program is better than any psychotherapy. The progress made is exceptional – I am gaining so many insights. I had an especially emotional day today – it was very difficult. Alenka Rebula came into my thoughts when she said: “put down all of your burdens, let the well flow, discover salvation and maintain it.

I read your book ‘’Lahkotno iz kroničnih bolečin’’ (Gently freeing yourself of chronic pain) during the summer, because I suffered from strong pain in my spine and was barely able to walk, especially when attempting to stand up. Going from lying on the bed to standing was nearly impossible. It took me a while to understand the exercises in your book, because all of them are described in great detail.

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 of the exercises.

In the beginning, when I was still getting to know the exercise, I told myself what needed to be done as I read in the description of the exercises you sent us. When I understood the exercise, I mainly performed it automatically, like any other exercise. It was important for me to do the exercises for 20 minutes, and I did far too many repetitions because I did the exercises too fast.

AEQ method is an innovative approach that my wonderful teacher Aleš Ernst whom I’ve been seeing and learning from for the last 3 years invented. It looks like a crossover between yin yoga and tai chi but the way how it feels it is much more advanced and revolutionary than that. It includes AEQ breathing, a specific type of breathwork, specific muscle movements, breakthroughs of releasing heavy emotional trauma, releasing of chronic physical pain, and it gives you more body awareness and self-control.

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 ago; pain appeared in my shoulders and hips. Occasionally I stopped completely and went to the doctor so that he could “figure out” what was wrong with me. No concrete diagnosis was given outside of muscle tension.

The exercises have become a routine, they help me relax and find my zen. I wasn’t consistent enough with them at first, I didn’t give them enough attention and didn’t dive deep enough into understanding them. The program for the bottom part of the body helped me to put myself back into the routine. I am creating more and more order in my relationships, I am more aware, and I am able to realize faster what do I want and what I not want and how to achieve that. I have lightness in my step. Thank you for the opportunity to get to know myself better and for teaching me how to create order in my life.

I want to become an AEQ teacher

Future teachers of the AEQ method will gain an increasingly comprehensive and widely applicable perception of these principles of human functioning through the AEQ education stages. He will better understand the differences between the mind and body and the importance of clear communication between them.

Life events, especially those in our childhood, create the conditions for the appearance of these chronic tensions that enslave us, limit our mobility, and lower our efficiency and the ability to feel ourselves.

The teacher’s main task in the AEQ method is to guide the person to achieve inner freedom. To achieve such a state, it is necessary to eliminate the tensions that keep the body trapped. The body is molded and separated, and its functioning is completely distorted. Without regulation of these states, inner freedom is impossible, which leads to illusion and we are convinced that we think, feel and act according to our will.

For this, higher inner freedom must first be achieved by the teacher of the AEQ method himself.

GOOD PERFORMANCE IN SPORTS

As an experienced cyclist and a long-time owner of a bicycle shop, I have often observed the consequences of the wrong approach to sports and the wrong motive for success in sports with my clients. Most of the time, the runner wanted to buy a bike to relieve the knees and tendons, as he was advised – a friend, an orthopedist, a physiotherapist.
