Access Bars Sunshine Coast

Access Bars are 32 electromagnetic points on the head, 16 on either side that line up with the Chinese Meridian Lines that when lightly touched, allows the body’s own Innate Intelligence to clear the energetic patterns that keep us feeling stuck.

Typically a treatment would go for 60 or 90 minutes with the client lying fully clothed on a comfortable treatment table covered in a sheet or blanket in the cold months to receive this gentle touch therapy.

Most clients begin to feel relaxed during the treatment. Some drift into a twilight state, asleep but not asleep, awake but not fully awake. This relaxes the Nervous system and shifts it from the Sympathetic Nervous System (Fight and Flight) to the Parasympathetic Nervous System (Rest, Digest and Restoration). Slowing down the brain waves, the body begins to feel safe. Some drift into a deep sleep and lose time, waking asking “Is it finished already?”

For highly  dis-regulated and long term Anxiety, a series of treatments is recommended because you didn’t become anxious overnight. Your Nervous System has been dysregulated for an extended period of time, due to traumatic event, series of events or childhood trauma.

This type of “Big T” or “Little T” trauma has developed as an adaptation and cannot be relieved in just one session. It takes time for the hypervigilant mind to relax enough to feel safe to let go of this level of trauma. See more on my Blog here.

Access Bars is a Biofield Modality, a process of deep relaxation and slowing of the brain waves from High Beta, to Alpha, then Theta brain waves that allows access to the subconscious mind resulting in the gentle release of Trauma in the Soma (Greek for body) and blocked energy creating flow and renewed alignment with our true self.

Palo Alto University in Canada has a published article “Understanding the Healing Potential of Biofield Therapy in Mental Health Practice” You can access it to find out more on the emerging research – here

Access Bars is a non-invasive energy healing technique that involves gently touching 32 specific points on the head to release stored thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and limiting ideas.  Developed by Gary M. Douglas in the early 1990s as part of the broader Access Consciousness movement, the practice is often described as a “reset” for the mind, likened to deleting unnecessary files from a computer hard drive. 

During a typical 60-90 minute session, the recipient lies fully clothed on a massage table while a practitioner lightly touches these points, which correspond to various aspects of life such as money, creativity, body image and control.  This process aims to clear the electromagnetic charge associated with mental clutter, promoting deep relaxation, mental clarity, and a sense of peace.  

Clients report benefits including reduced anxiety, improved sleep and greater ease in handling life’s challenges, termed a Biotherapy, studies now reveal it’s value in treating the body as well.

A hands on touch Therapy, this gentle yet effective modality offers an opportunity to slow down, reset and reconnect to our natural state of ease and sense of calm.

Many people describe feeling lighter, calmer, clearer, more confident and more balanced after a session. For some, it brings a sense of clarity and focus; while for others it simply feels like mental space has been created where there was once constant Anxiety, Negative thoughts, noise or overwhelm. Access Bars can assist in improving sleep, reducing anxiety, quieting racing thoughts and enhancing Emotional Regulation.

Scientific studies using brainwave monitoring have shown that Access Bars can shift the brain into deeper states of relaxation, similar to those experienced through advanced meditation. This neurological reset supports the body in moving out of stress mode and into a state where repair, rest and emotional release can occur naturally. Brain scan videos can be viewed on YouTube before and after Access Bars by Neuroscientist Dr Jeffrey L. Fannin who works with the Heart Math Institute in California USA.

Right here on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, you have the opportunity to experience Access Bars, a gentle hands-on technique that calms the mind and relaxes the body. There are 32 points on the head (16 on either side) that line up with the Chinese Meridian Lines. When I touch these points, your brain waves begin slowing down, we help you move from Flight and Fight (Sympathetic Nervous System) to Rest and Digest or Rest and Relaxation, (Parasympathetic Nervous System).

We function in High Beta states most of the day. The Subconscious Mind can be accessed in lower brain wave states like Alpha, (daydreamy – relaxed) Theta (twilight, asleep but not asleep, awake but not awake, very relaxed and comfortable). Emotional distress, anxiety and depression can be alleviated in these lower brain wave states. Over multiple treatments, we re-discover our foundation of joy and peace within. Patterns, programs and trauma can be released from the subconscious mind that can and has helped many of my client’s body, mind & spirit heal. (See testimonials below).

During a session, your body is encouraged to release the heavy energies stored through experiencing Trauma, invasive & cyclical thoughts that keep you scattered and create difficulty with focus. Energetic, emotional, or mental clutter that may have been stored for years (sometimes decades or a lifetime) can be released, leaving a sense of ‘space’. This process helps open up new Neural pathways for awareness and choice, allowing you to respond to life with more ease and presence rather than reacting to life from patterns and programs embedded in the subconscious or unconscious mind through Trauma, Developmental years and Traumatic Life Events such as loss and grief; physical, mental or emotional abuse.

This technique is non-invasive and deeply relaxing, making it suitable for all ages and all stages of life. It complements other Holistic Practices beautifully, such as Somatic Release Therapy, Mind-Body Talk, Breathwork and Meditation. It can be integrated into a broader wellness routine. My Coaching programs incorporate this as an Integral technique to assist greater connection to self, increasing awareness and of patterns, programs running your life.

Regular Access Bars sessions can support long-term physical, emotional and mental wellbeing. Over time, clients often report feeling more centred, peaceful and resilient, with improved energy levels and a greater sense of purpose. It’s a simple yet powerful way to create more space for joy and clarity in our life.

Each experience is unique. Some clients fall into a meditative state, while others may feel subtle sensations of warmth, tingling, or release in different areas of the body. The effects can continue unfolding in the days after a session as the Nervous System integrates the changes and the body restores its natural balance toward Homeostasis and functioning in the Parasympathetic Nervous System rather than the stressors of the Sympathetic Nervous System.
