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...
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 looking forward to the next programs and meetings.
The program was a really pleasant surprise to me. Your explanations/perspective on problems were a breath of fresh air. I hope I will fully grasp your teachings and will be able to change my subconscious. Now, after a week, I also see that it’s one thing to do exercises by...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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....
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
