I joined this program because I learned, through previous programs, how very tense I am. I began learning how to relax and feel my muscles, as well as how to correctly perform and lead AEQ exercises. I realized how important correct nasal breathing is. Mine was the opposite. It was...READ MORE
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.

I am glad I stepped into the world of AEQ. I enjoyed your teachings, knowledge and leadership. I am using them to improve myself and eliminate SMA.
I am no longer a puppet who plays by the rules of others but an awakening person who has begun to feel and realize what she wants and where the limits are to which I want others to go.
I feel that by learning how to breathe with your program, I gained one of the strongest tools in my life, which will help me solve current and later challenges in life and will remain with me till my last breath on this planet. After the 30-day breathing program, I...READ MORE
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...READ MORE
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 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
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
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...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 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
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
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
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
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

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...READ MORE
