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
AEQ breathing allows us to change the tone of our breathing muscles and alter our way of breathing. It derives from the belief that changing and adapting emotional expression to our surroundings’ demands requires a change in breathing. The more we alter our emotional expression to suit our surroundings, the more chronic it becomes, and so the change and unreality of our breathing also become chronic. Once the different breathing forms become chronic, we lose our awareness, and it becomes normal to us.
With time, this “new normal” leads us to health problems.
AEQ breathing was developed, directed, and shaped in a way that the patient can easily understand these processes, becomes aware of them, and begins leading a conscious change of breathing, which will eventually change the way he expresses his emotions, leading to an increase in emotional competency and self-esteem.

AEQ BREATHING
Accepting/giving, opening/closing, expanding/shrinking are all words that can be compared to breathing – inhale/exhale. The purpose of breathing is to exchange gasses between air and blood in our lungs as efficiently as we can.

AEQ in media:



















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 to take a full breath triggered further anxiety and panic. I “failed” the asthma test very quickly.
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, they were useful, and I almost loved them. The order of the exercises is of great importance, twice daily guidance accelerates conscious work on yourself.
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 staring at the wall and trying to collect my thoughts, despite the fact that almost every day during the program and after its end, I had a new flashback, which I now can’t remember specifically.
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 my stomach but abnormally pulling it in (partly due to obesity and shame until the end of my teenage years).
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 gained very important information from my body.
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 results. (I really hope I make it, because determination is my main weakness)
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 myself and another when you guided us through the exercises…
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 understand, I observed everything…
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 programs, I prepared the ground for the last one, so they seem to me to be equally important milestones on the way to today.
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 well, and that I was bothered by leaning to the right.
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 exercise differently because I know that I have time for all the details and not in a way that just satisfies the mind, superficially and the result was also suitable for that.
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. He told me that I have sent him 100 emials over the course of three months. Oof, that is a lot.
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 in a bad mood when with them.
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 up literally blocks me?
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 all the way to my throat. The tension eased if I shifted slightly into flexion and relaxed the front line. I began looking for a solution to my problem, and I felt that your 60-day program would be useful.
