Hello,

First, I would like to say that AEQ has turned my life upside down—in the best possible way. It has changed my perspective on relationships, my past, and most importantly, on my body.

I notice changes in how I communicate with my partner, especially in conflict situations. I now recognize discomfort in my body more quickly when something bothers me, threatens me, hinders or limits me. I also notice more quickly the ways in which my subconscious tries to stop me from taking action. Often, it still succeeds—because motor amnesia clearly hasn’t reduced enough yet. But not always—there are moments when I recall a specific explanation and manage to act differently.

My partner, who also has experience with AEQ, is a huge help. He reminds me of certain things or simply repeats one of your phrases that I had (selectively) forgotten. When it comes to perceiving and expressing emotions, doubt is often present. Doubt in the “truth” of a certain emotion. Before AEQ, I was much more “confident” in my beliefs (even though they were incorrect or illusory). Now I’m in a phase where I doubt everything. When I feel an emotion and try to explain it to myself, there’s always doubt—whether it’s truly what I think it is or just another “trick” of the subconscious and I only think it’s something. But I persist and hope that with time, it will become clearer.

Feelings of connection and understanding have definitely improved. My partner also notices much more quickly when “I’m not myself,” and we enter communication relatively quickly, before emotions become overwhelming (overwhelming on my side—because previously, my regular pattern was to stay quiet until emotions grew too strong to hold in, and then explode).

One of the biggest physical changes I noticed was in my breathing. During my first program, I had enormous difficulty just breathing while lying down—I couldn’t even inhale for 6 seconds, let alone stay with full or empty lungs for more than 4 seconds. But in this program, I was able to breathe standing up, without feeling dizzy or nauseous. The restless leg syndrome is also gone, and sometimes I even sleep with my legs fully extended (before, that was impossible because of how much anxiety I had). I’ve also stopped smoking marijuana, which used to be a nightly habit before bed. Now, I no longer feel the need from my body.

There are many small changes which, in the end, are not so small at all—but are likely the result of multiple programs and months of practice, as AEQ has become quite integrated into my life, my thinking, perception, functioning, and daily routine.

Thank you, Aleš, for sharing your knowledge, and thank you for your time and effort. My life is finally changing in the direction I want, and I believe your method played a crucial role in that.

Warm regards,
