What is Access Bars®?

Access Bars has helped thousands of people to change many aspects of their lives. People say they get better health, better sleep, they lose weight, they have a better sex life and better relationships, they get relief from anxiety, overall less stress and much more...

Access Bars is a gentle hands-on modality that was introduced by Gary Douglas in the early 1990s. The Bars® are 32 unique points on the head that correlate to different areas and aspects of life. During an Access Bars session, a practitioner gently touches these points to release the electromagnetic charge of all thoughts, ideas, attitudes, decisions, and beliefs that may have limited you in the concerned life areas. Sessions can vary in length from 30 minutes to a few hours, depending on the needs of the person that is receiving it. A normal full session is about 90 minutes.
Today Access Bars is practiced in over 170 countries worldwide, used as a potent and pragmatic tool by families, schools, businesses, athletes, prison wards, psychologists, artists and many more.

What does it do?

Access Bars helps you relax in ways that you never could before. It’s like having a switch in your head that can be turned off and all the negativity and stress fade away…

Imagine how it can be to press that switch and mute all the voices in your head that tell you that you’re not good enough or that you can’t accomplish what you dream about? Imagine shutting off all the ramblings of the mind in just a few minutes. Any limitations that you accumulated in your life can vanish because they are connected to your thoughts, ideas, attitudes, decisions, and beliefs about it. When the bars points get lightly touched, you begin to clear away whatever is on your mind and keeps you away from believing that it is possible to have the life you’ve always dreamed of.
One of the life-changing components that happens naturally with each Access Bars session is the element of receiving. How often do we just let go, lower our barriers, and allow another person to truly gift us? Learning to receive is a key to inviting more of what you’re asking for into your life. Access Bars facilitates receiving, different than any other modality on this planet

What is a session like?

Can you remember the last moment in your life when you were totally relaxed, care free, feeling safe and secure? Or has it been a little too long since you received such kindness without any judgment of your body or your being?

Every person is different so there is no “normal” Access Bars session. Each session will be different, every time, even if you repeat with the same therapist and get a session for the same amount of time.
People often say that they feel completely relaxed. Many people fall into a light sleep – even in a very noisy environment. Some people might have short dreams, they might see images, and others feel sensations in their bodies such as buzzing, tingling, warmth, twitches of the muscles or shivers.
There is no right or wrong way for this kind of treatment, the worst that can happen is that you can get totally relaxed and the best that ca happen is that your life can change. So in the end, the best way to find out what Access Bars really is like for you, is to try it for yourself!
