Upper body and chronic muscle contraction
One of the purposes of the AEQ program is to help a person improve their understanding of the role their upper body plays in movement and life. Through the AEQ explanation of the upper body’s main function…
SCIATICA
Typical sciatica is radiating shooting pain that starts in the buttocks (usually on one side only), and this pain extends down the back of the thigh, even into the foot. Sensations may include numbness, burning sensation of pain…
PAIN IN THE FEET AND HIPS
Especially active sporty people are prone to these injuries. Many of my clients decided to take up learning of the AEQ method because of their knee problems. Furthermore, I’ve noticed the majority of my clients have the…
Stress and Chronic conditions
Eustress is a term for positive stress that doesn’t harm a person but instead encourages them and makes them stronger. You can compare it to inflammation – without a certain level of inflammation, the body cannot function…
MOVEMENT, FROM A CHILD TO AN ADULT
Certain events in our childhood leave a mark on us; if they are traumatic, we suppress them into the subconscious and then carry them around as extra luggage. It is self-protective, but at the same time, it burdens us.
By holding our breath, we isolate ourselves from our surroundings
Toddlers should be correctly breathing unless they are sick or ill. While most newborns begin breathing correctly, very few still maintain natural breathing through their early childhood. Most toddlers lose their much-needed…
SUPPRESSION OF EMOTIONS
ife in a social environment, societal rules, and interpersonal relationships demand that an adult does not show his feelings every time he feels them in himself. Through growing up, we learn which feelings we can show and which we…
Children suppressing their emotions
Due to its strong influence on the creation of chronic rigidity and its prevalence, I will discuss the process of suppressing the impulse to cry in more detail. The same can be observed with all negative emotions.
RESISTANCE
In a human being, any action that doesn’t offer instant satisfaction or, in other words, that encourages personal growth, health and wholeness and requires a certain effort, creates resistance. Any act that derives from our higher nature…
LEARNING THE AEQ METHOD® AS AN APPROACH TO PAIN RELIEF AND ELIMINATION
AEQ method, i.e., retraining the functioning of the mind through conscious muscle movement, we can learn. With the knowledge we gain, we can alleviate the pain caused by injuries to such emotional and physical ones, which…
YESTERDAY AND TODAY
Because time changes things and life, the changed ” me” must occasionally sync up with the past ” me.” In the past, the only thing we had to deal with for our survival was the physical perspective of life. However, in today’s world, much…
WHAT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY
Humanity was shaped through a struggle for survival caused by a lack of energy, not a lack of time; the body is adapted to this structure and function. Our lifestyle, mental health, and surroundings determine our psychophysical…
REMAINING INTERNALLY BALANCED
We are raised and taught that we need to do something constantly. This belief stems from modern consumer society. We surrender to it only if our body and feelings cannot influence our thoughts, decisions, and actions.
Change
We don’t want to change ourselves, even though we expect everyone else to change, which would then change our lives. However, it is imperative that all the changes we have to make come from within.
Anger
It is important to accept the existence of multiple levels of homeostasis. Roughly, we can operate at a level of basic homeostasis that allows us to survive or at higher levels of homeostasis (syntropy) that allows us to live…
ENTROPY AND THE MEANING OF PAIN
Entropy (2nd law of thermodynamics) is the decay of a system and chaos. It is a temporal, gravitational, evolutionarily conditioned change from complex to simple. It means a change for the worse, into less order and complexity.
HOW AND WHY THE AEQ METHOD REDUCES AND ELIMINATES CHRONIC PAIN
Learning the AEQ method® needs to be a pleasant and comfortable experience to achieve the full effect, and our clients are always surprised how fast the time flew by. It means our clients have learned a lot…
INTEGRITY AND CONSCIOUSNESS
A person without consciousness would be like a robot: perfect in his movement, nor would he make too much or too little movement in unconditional goal orientation. He would feel no emotion and feeling and would be carefully protected…
Overthinking
Overthinking is the act of thinking about something for too long. It’s seductive. The siren call of overthinking sounds something like this: If you keep overthinking things, if you keep thinking about unsolved…
CHRONIC PAIN ATTRIBUTED TO AGING
People attribute pain to aging and use old age as an excuse. But the AEQ method, a method of gentle conscious movements, does not recognize this concept, and in the workshops I explain how teachers of the…
GOOD PERFORMANCE IN SPORTS
As an experienced cyclist and a long-time owner of a bicycle shop, I have often observed the consequences of the wrong approach to sports and the wrong motive for success in sports with my clients. Most of the time, the runner wanted to buy a bike to relieve the knees and tendons, as he was advised – a friend, an orthopedist, a physiotherapist.
An interview about speed walking
The meaning of order, rules and orderliness can be better understood by comparing sports similar to one another, such as running on the long track and speed walking.
OBSERVE THE WAY YOU BREATHE AND YOU’LL FIND OUT WHO YOU REALLY ARE
Nasal breathing moisturizes and heats the air, prevents the drying of the mucous membrane, removes many pathogens, and raises nitric oxide in one’s blood. Competition is not a time for an athlete to focus on how…
HEALING INJURIES AND PREVENTING NEW ONES
In the treatment and reduction of the probability of recurrence of injury in the AEQ method, the rule is that the movement must first be normalized, then optimized, and finally improved. The injury alone, caused by sports, shows inconsistency, maladaptation and inefficiency in movement that would be optimal for this sport.
