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.

Most people breathe incorrectly so that they can control their fear, love or rage.
The unique approach of AEQ breathing enables a gradual 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 that is coordinated with the current physical and mental state.

AEQ in media:



















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.
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 my legs stretched, pains behind the right shoulder blade and above the left hip, which remained as a result “faceplanting” on the asphalt a few years ago.
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)
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 reactions of my body, which I did not expect.
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.
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 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 shallow, distorted, I was regularly hyperventilating, which you have pointed out to me several times. I was also breathing through my mouth, which caused me many problems.
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.
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…
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).
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?
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 came here because I was curious, I wish to know everything regarding my body. I understood when you said that change comes slowly.
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 had a huge subconscious desire to just exist within reason.
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 in movement and breathing is not easy. It’s gaining knowledge, a higher awareness, the creation of healthy routines and habits, and the first step towards fixing the disorder within us.
