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

Aleš, thank you for all the moments you shared with us. I think of you as a true treasure trove of knowledge.

The 30-day breathing program was very intense for me. I really liked your way of giving information, answers and leading breathing modules and exercises. Clear instructions and plenty of repetitions were really helpful and welcome. In addition to the daily group sessions, I performed the learned exercises once a day.

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...READ MORE

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...READ MORE

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...READ MORE

ALEŠ ERNST = game changer, AEQ METHOD = life saver

I must express my thoughts about the program in writing, despite it not being easy… I feel like a writer who hit a block and lost the silver lining of the story he's writing, crumpling paper into balls and tossing them into an ever-increasing pile in the garbage can… I'm...READ MORE

Thank you for your patience, your time and the valuable knowledge you spread among us.

I am suffering from atopic dermatitis. In my search for a cure, due to the unboreable itching and being unfit for normal work, at the age of 50, I stumble upon the AEQ method and Mr. Aleš Ernst. Aleš told me I require constant guidance. I wasn’t aware of this....READ MORE

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...READ MORE

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

My breath, which in the spring lasted max. 3 seconds, now lasted 10 seconds, which I am very proud of.

In the first program, I enjoyed the exercises performed while lying down. When you announced that we would do a standing exercise, my legs began to shake, suddenly became soft, and I simultaneously became nervous. I had battles with myself. Why do I easily do exercises lying down, but standing...READ MORE

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,...READ MORE

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...READ MORE

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...READ MORE

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...READ MORE

I am looking forward to the next breathing program.

My first program is slowly coming to an end… With your help, I am on a path to getting to know myself. I am aware that there is a long road ahead of me, and that it will take a lot of determination to even come close to my desired...READ MORE

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...READ MORE
