Access Bars
Access Bars is a gentle hand application method introduced by Gary Douglas in the early 1990s. It consists of 32 energy bars that run through and around the head. These bars connect at specific “bars points” and correspond to different areas and aspects of life. During an Access Bars session, a practitioner gently touches these points to release the electromagnetic charge of any thoughts, ideas, attitudes, decisions, and beliefs that may have been limiting you in the affected areas of your life.
How does it work?
Imagine if someone could push a button and silence the voice in your head telling you that you are not good enough or that you cannot achieve what you dream of. Any limitations you create in your life are connected to your thoughts, ideas, attitudes, choices and beliefs about them. Touch the bars points lightly and you begin to remove what is locked up and keeping you from believing you can have the life you always knew was possible.
One of the life-changing components that happens naturally in every Access Bars session is the element of receiving. How often do we just let go, lower our barriers and allow another person to truly give to us? Learning to receive is a key to inviting more of what you are asking for into your life. Access Bars facilitate receiving, unlike any other modality in this reality.
What does a session look like?
Everyone is different; so there is no “normal” Access Bars session. Each session is different every time, even with the same person.
The most common thing reported is a feeling of complete relaxation. Many fall asleep – even in a very noisy environment. Some receive images, others have sensations in the body such as buzzing, tingling, warmth, twitching or trembling.
There is no right or wrong way, and the best way to find out what Access Bars are like for you is to try it for yourself!
The research on Access Bars and psychological relief
According to Terrie Hope Ph.D., DNM, CFMW, in a November 2017 study in the Journal of Energy Psychology: Theory, Research, and Treatment, the results of a 90-minute session with Access Bars® showed a significant decrease in the severity of depression and anxiety.
At worst, a 90-minute session with Access Bars® is an opportunity to sit back and relax while experiencing a very gentle energy process. At best, Access Bars can free you from the negative self-talk and beliefs you’ve held about yourself for years, and more – the possibilities are endless!
