One of the most common questions I get asked is, What is Access Bars? And every time I try to explain it, I can’t help but smile. It’s something truly special, and I’d love to share what I’ve learned.
Access Bars is a gentle, hands-on energy healing technique introduced by Gary Douglas in the early 1990s. It involves lightly touching 32 points on the head, known as Bars, which are connected to different aspects of life—things like thoughts, emotions, creativity, and healing. During a session, these points are activated to help release built-up stress, limiting beliefs, and mental clutter.
Access Bars is a powerful yet gentle energy healing modality that uses a technique of lightly touching 32 specific points on the head, referred to as "Bars." These points correlate to various aspects of life, such as creativity, communication, relationships, control, money, joy, and more. By activating these points, Access Bars aims to release the electromagnetic charge that stores the thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and decisions that limit you in these areas of life.
During an Access Bars session, a practitioner will lightly touch these 32 points on your head, activating the flow of energy to each corresponding area of your life. These points are believed to act as conduits for releasing the mental, emotional, and energetic blocks that you may have accumulated over your lifetime.
As these blocks are cleared, it’s like hitting a "reset" button on your energy field, allowing you to experience a profound sense of relaxation, peace, and mental clarity. The process is non-invasive and gentle, and the practitioner never forces or manipulates the energy—rather, they act as a conduit to help facilitate the release of stuck energy in your body.
A typical Access Bars session lasts between 60 to 90 minutes, and you’ll be comfortably lying down, fully clothed, on a treatment table. The practitioner will touch the 32 points on your head in a very light, non-pressured manner. Many people report a deeply relaxing experience—so relaxing, in fact, that some people even fall asleep during the session.
The feeling of the session can vary from person to person, but it is often described as gentle, calming, and soothing. Some people feel a subtle tingling or warmth, while others experience a sense of emotional release. The overall experience tends to be incredibly relaxing, helping to quiet the mind and ease stress.
One of the most significant benefits of Access Bars is the sense of deep relaxation and calm it brings to the body and mind. Here’s a closer look at how it can benefit you:
Stress Reduction and Anxiety Relief: Access Bars is particularly effective in reducing stress and anxiety by clearing negative, limiting beliefs and trapped emotions. People report feeling much more at ease after a session.
Improved Sleep: Many individuals find that they experience deeper, more restful sleep after a session. This is due to the deep state of relaxation that Access Bars induces.
Mental Clarity and Focus: As the energy blocks are released, many clients report feeling clearer, more focused, and better able to make decisions. It’s as if the mental clutter is cleared away.
Emotional Healing: Access Bars can support emotional healing by helping to release suppressed emotions or trauma. Many people feel lighter and more at peace after their session, with a renewed sense of joy.
Pain Relief and Physical Healing: While Access Bars is not a direct treatment for physical ailments, many clients report a reduction in physical pain and a greater sense of well-being after receiving a session.
Greater Sense of Possibility: Access Bars helps to clear the energetic patterns that may limit your potential. By releasing mental and emotional barriers, you may feel more empowered to pursue your goals and dreams.
Everyone experiences Access Bars differently, but the majority of people report an overwhelming sense of relaxation and calm. Some people feel like they’ve just had a nap in a peaceful, serene environment, while others experience a profound emotional release. It’s not uncommon for people to feel deeply nurtured, at ease, and sometimes even have vivid memories or imagery come up during a session.
