Access Bars Therapy is a gentle, hands-on energy healing technique that aims to release mental, emotional, and physical blockages. Developed by Gary Douglas in the 1990s as part of Access Consciousness, the therapy involves lightly touching 32 points on the head, known as "Bars," which are said to store the electromagnetic components of thoughts, emotions, and limiting beliefs.
During a session, a practitioner lightly holds these points, allowing the body to release stored energy and tension, promoting a sense of relaxation and mental clarity. The idea is that by clearing these energy blocks, individuals can access more freedom, choice, and ease in various areas of life.
Access Bars Therapy is believed to provide a wide range of benefits, both mental and physical. Clients often report feeling a deep sense of relaxation, improved sleep, and reduced stress after a session. Additionally, many experience a shift in their mental and emotional outlook, with some describing enhanced mental clarity, greater focus, and a release of negative thought patterns. For others, the therapy has been linked to improved emotional resilience, helping them cope better with challenges and making it easier to let go of anxieties and limiting beliefs.
In some cases, clients report that physical issues such as headaches or muscle tension are alleviated, as the therapy encourages the body to release pent-up energy and tension.
Access Bars Therapy can benefit a wide range of people, including adults, children, and young people. Adults seeking stress relief, emotional balance, or mental clarity often find the sessions helpful for managing the demands of daily life.
For children and young people, Access Bars can be particularly beneficial in reducing anxiety, improving focus, and promoting emotional wellbeing. It is often used to help with issues like ADHD, sleep problems, or exam-related stress.
The non-invasive and relaxing nature of the therapy makes it a suitable option for people of all ages, including those with special needs or heightened sensitivities, as it encourages relaxation and emotional release without requiring verbal expression or active participation.
