What it is
Access Bars® is a tool from Access Consciousness®. It is based on the idea that there are 32 points, or "bars", on the head. Each one is linked to an area of life, such as thoughts, ideas, attitudes, decisions and beliefs.
During a session, these points are lightly touched. The intention is to help release stored, stuck energy and make room for new possibilities.
Many of us carry the weight of past experiences, good and bad. A Bars session is a chance to set some of that down and look at life from a fresh perspective.
Who it may help
Many clients report that Bars sessions help them:
- Relax deeply, and feel refreshed and re-energized afterward
- Feel lighter and less burdened or overwhelmed
- Let go of situations and patterns that create difficulty in their lives
- Feel clearer and calmer in everyday life
Children often enjoy Bars sessions too. Kids tend to be curious and open to new possibilities.
Access Bars is a relaxation and personal-growth practice. It is not a treatment for any medical or mental-health condition and does not replace care from a licensed provider.
What a session is like
There's no "normal" session, because everyone responds in their own way.
- You lie comfortably, fully clothed, while I lightly hold points on your head.
- Many people feel completely relaxed, and some fall asleep.
- Common sensations include warmth, tingling, buzzing or gentle twitching.
- Some people find emotions come up, and they may laugh or cry for no apparent reason. That's normal.
- Most people leave feeling calmer and more at peace than when they arrived.
