AEQ® BREATHING

Breathing is our primary task for survival; the only activity performed every moment in a day. Our well-being, state of mind, and emotional responses depend on the quality of our breathing.

AEQ Breathing

How does incorrect breathing impact our health?

AEQ breathing derives from the belief that changing and adapting emotional expression demands a change in the way we breathe. The more we tailor our emotional expression to our surroundings, the more chronic it becomes, which makes the change in our breathing chronic as well. Once the altered way of breathing becomes chronic, we lose conscious control over it and it becomes the new normal. With time, it is exactly this ‘’new normal’’ in our breathing that leads to health issues.

What causes incorrect breathing?

Most people experience irregular breathing as a result of attempting to control fear, love, or anger.

What can we solve with AEQ breathing?

AEQ breathing enables the change in muscle tone of our respiratory muscles, thus changing the way we breathe. AEQ breathing is developed, shaped and directed towards helping the client understand their inner processes and to start becoming aware of them so that they can begin consciously working on changing their way of breathing. As a result, they can also change their emotional expression and raise their emotional competence and self-confidence. The unique approach offered by AEQ breathing enables the eventual regulation of breathing without the unpleasant consequences of releasing repressed emotions and memories. It enables changes in the pulsation of the muscles and the gradual regulation of breathing in a correct three-part breathing rhythm, which is coordinated with the current physical and mental state.

Customer reviews

The AEQ method is very successful for people that realized they have to work on themselves hard in order to free themselves from pain.

2 months of daily socializing with you online and learning and getting to know myself with your help, which was very useful, are behind me. It will soon be four years that I was engaged in AEQ somatic exercises. Both workshops, but especially AEQ breathing helped me a lot, that...

I am feeling spontaneous and free. Feelings that were stolen from me in my childhood.

I do the exercises regularly and I know that this time is intended only for me (30 minutes seemed long at first, but when I go really slowly into the exercise, they pass as if in a flash - new experiences) and for discovering my depths, so I do the...

READ MORE

These things bring tears to the eye… tears of joy and gratitude, even though it’s difficult…

Thank you very much for the breathing modules you sent. Everything you gave us is the path to great changes, if we work with common sense, as you wrote. I am glad I joined your program. It was difficult at first. I resisted, but that’s how this thing goes. I...

I admit, it was often not pleasant to hear the “hard truth”, which you definitely didn’t embellish in any way…

Throughout the whole program I felt different changes on different levels – memories of my early childhood resurfaced (some were very vivid) and some memories from around 15 years ago. It’s interesting that memories from in between haven’t appeared (yet). Throughout the exercises, I continued to observe in amazement the...

I still have a lot of time and attention ahead of me, which I intend to devote to understanding myself and my surroundings to achieve an honest relationship.

Even though 7 years have passed since my first visit to you, I became aware of many undiscovered things about myself with the intensive program of 60 days of breathing. I became aware that the right side of my body was completely contracted, that my right leg did not feel...

I remember with great pleasure some details from the program, your reactions, the way you explained things, your tolerance, and your insistence that we are the ones who will move things.

I perform the exercises with caution for two or three days because mainly sad things reveal themselves to me. After the exercises, tears flow until I come to my senses the next day. Now that my children and I are always together, I wouldn't like to keep being sad and...

I am satisfied that I did the breathing module first and now I continue with the upper part of the body, because I already learned and realized a lot from the first module.

Thank you for all the material you sent. They complement the modules very nicely. For me, the module was exactly what I was looking for right now. The tensions in the body subside and with them some pains, for example in the lower back when lying on the back with...

Nowadays, I can relax better and not overdo the exercise, which I did a lot in the beginning. I only go so much that it’s not too demanding and not too little; I don’t panic either.

I signed up because I was diagnosed with asthma six months beforehand. I've been suffering from unusual respiratory problems for about a year, which began randomly. As it gradually worsened, I suffered from the symptoms at work more commonly than at home. The pain in my chest and the inability...

If one cannot take a deep breath due to tension, one cannot develop strong emotions. And vice versa, if we don’t express our anger, we have to increase tension.

Plenty of issues began to appear after I had surgery five months ago. I managed to mitigate it using manual therapy. About a month ago, I started noticing problems with deep breathing. I felt like I had a lump under my sternum that wouldn't release, and its tension was pulling...

FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART – THANK YOU!

I cannot express enough gratitude for your 30-day breathing program. I realized that I needed something to help me be more aware of my body and emotions, but other methods were either too fast or too abstract. Because my body perception was very poor and the stiffness too great, I...

Yesterday, during the counting module, I reached the number 70 three times in a row. A month ago, the number 40 was basically unreachable.

During the AEQ breathing program, I began to consciously feel my diaphragm for the first time ever. I felt how shallow my breathing is due to the rigidity of my stomach and the upper part of my lungs. During the day, I noticed that I was constantly not only contracting...

Your approach to a person is different from my psychotherapeutic method, but at the same time it touches the same contents in a person.

I really enjoyed the AEQ Method 30-day upper body program. Maybe even more so than the 30-day AEQ breathing program, although I think the breathing program is more elementary. After the upper body program, I feel considerable flexibility in the upper part of the body. I liked all the exercises,...

I am glad to be in touch with my inner strength and my aggressive-active emotions so that I can use them when necessary in a way that won’t cause harm to myself or my surroundings.

60 days in a row, being present at the same hour in lectures and listening to very deep topics on the subject: the influence of the past on our lives, mutual relationships, behavioral patterns, the function of the subconscious, consciousness, and body, the search for the causes of chronic abnormalities...

I am gladly continuing my participation in your program, and am getting to know myself better.

I have trouble giving you feedback on the effects of the 30-day AEQ breathing program. I immediately signed up on the program for the upper body, and I now have trouble differentiating the effects of the two. Someone close to me gave me a gift card for this program. I...

This will definitely come in handy when I consciously need to calm down and prepare for sleep.

If I compare participation in this program with the previous two, I have learned more during it, on a deeper level and in a clearer form (it prevents me from continuing to close my eyes). Even though there were several realizations, in my opinion, by participating in the previous two...
