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?

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).

START LEARNING THE AEQ METHOD

It is best to start learning the AEQ method by participating in 30-day AEQ method learning programs.

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.

Customer reviews

I often laugh to myself when I notice something about myself.
In the beginning, I pressed my heel and shoulders with all my strength and all possible muscles into the ground…
I would recommend the exercises to anyone suffering with chronic pain.
I realized how ineffective, silenced, and shallow my breath was to take a step out of my self-doubt, stand up for myself and gain basic respect for my surroundings, especially my home environment.
I recommend this program to everyone who wants to learn about the causes of the inability of the human body to function properly
When I first read Aleš’s book “Lahkotno iz kroničnih bolečin,” I only partially understood the importance of AEQ exercises.
Exploring your soul
I sometimes have a feeling that my body began melting on the floor.
I feel more energetic and confident after the program
Croatian triathlon champion and fitness coach of the top athletes of the Turkish athletics team about his experience with Aleš

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 and find some other help.

On the right side of the back muscles at the level of the shoulder blade, it cut me as if I had been stabbed with a knife. All the muscles on the body were activated; only then, with your warning, did I gradually relax the ones I didn’t need.

When I press my right shoulder into the ground, my arm muscles still participate in the movement.

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.

During the AEQ breathing program, for the first time, I consciously felt my diaphragm, how shallow my breathing was, and mainly, due to the tightness of the abdomen, only with the upper part of the lungs. During the day, I noticed that I was constantly tightening my stomach and abnormally pulling it in (partly due to obesity and shame until the end of my teenage years).

So far, the 30 day workshop is the best way to learn AEQ exercises. With a great and accurate explanation for a better understanding of the causes of body stiffness, the exercises gain more depth. My understanding is improving daily, which allows my body to move more easily.

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.

I was slowly giving up on my back and leg problems; Even a hip replacement at the age of 44 didn’t fix the painful walking. Although the x-rays confirmed that the operation was a great success, to my great disappointment…

The most obvious change was the clarity of my thoughts when I first sat down in front of my computer to begin working. They were ordered in a neat row. This surprised me, because I had this constant feeling for a whole year now, that I don’t know where to begin and was doing 5 things at a time and never finished them. I was postponing them, wrote post-it notes for the next day, and then the day after…

I am becoming more aware of my body, parts of it and areas where I am not relaxed. I am paying more attention to my walking and movement. Even during the program I began waking up in the morning without an alarm (something that hasn’t happened for about 40 years) and wake up more relaxed

It was certainly neither intentional nor accidental that I finished the day with my athlete at a long-time friend’s house. It was another one of those days of frustration and helplessness, and hopelessness, as it was during…

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.

FIGHTING AGAINST PAIN ONLY MAKES IT WORSE

Only persistent, conscious, attentive, and curious exploration and an easier way to perform the movement and effectively express emotions eliminates pain and changes thinking.

Sensory-motor amnesia and a lack of time force people to divert their attention to the future or past.

WHEN UNKNOWN PAIN APPEARS

The reason behind the painful movement is that it is too big of a disorder, not enough control over your body and lack of feeling, all of which the body warns us about.

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.
