Access Bars: What Else Is Possible?

Updated: Sep 7, 2022

Do you ever feel like you, or your thoughts, are your worst enemy?


That despite wanting to change something in your life, or do differently, you just can’t seem to make it happen?


Do you find yourself making more statements and judgements than asking questions?


How do these two phrases feel to you? Say them out loud to yourself.


“I don’t know what to do. I can’t seem to solve this problem.”


Or


“What else is possible?”


If you find yourself resonating more with the first phrase, and if it feels heavy somewhere in your body when you say it, your thoughts and thought patterns may be getting in your way, and could be your biggest energy block in those moments. Access Bars is a light touch energy work that works to de-program negative, self-limiting thought patterns that can be keeping you from making changes. “Bars”, or “running the Bars” as we practitioners and fans of the work like to say, can be an effective way of letting go of judgements, patterns, considerations, limitations, feelings, emotions, points of view and fixed ideas around all kinds of common issues such as money, love, communication, aging, work, time, body image and many more.


The work is performed with the client fully clothed, laying down on a treatment table (but can be done on the floor, in a zero gravity chair- one can get creative!) with the Bars practitioner sitting at their head. The practitioner accesses 32 different points on the head, and some on the feet and hands.


I love running Bars on others and having my own run for a few reasons. One, there is flexibility in the session. We can talk while you are on the table, or not…it is whatever feels light for you and comfortable. Two, there is nothing for you, the client, to “do”. Your only job while on my table is to receive. You can relax, stay awake, fall asleep, snore- it’s all ok! Three, this form of conscious touch can be a nice introduction to bodywork in general if someone is feeling nervous about receiving bodywork, new to energy work, and would like an alternative way of changing thought patterns and dealing with stress, without a lot of verbal processing.


Bars can be quite powerful as well when the Clearing Statement is used in dialogue with the client. If you are saying, “what the hell is the Clearing Statement?”, watch this video. Access Consciousness Clearing Statement. Bars need to be run in person; unlike some other energy modalities such as Polarity Therapy that can be facilitated from a distance.


Gary Douglas, the founder of Access Consciousness and the man who channeled the Bars protocol, firmly believes bodies need to be touched to make this work most effective. I happen to agree with him…especially in these last few years of the pandemic where physical distance has been more prevalent than ever. If it feels light for you, please visit my Services page to book a Bars session!
