“It’s like someone pressed a reset button in my brain.”
Bars® is a hands-on energy process developed by Gary Douglas, founder of Access Consciousness®. It involves gently touching 32 points on the head that relate to different areas of life — money, control, creativity, joy, healing, communication, time, and more. These points, or "Bars," store the electromagnetic component of your thoughts, emotions, and limitations.
What Happens During a Session?
You lie fully clothed on a massage table.
A certified practitioner lightly touches the 32 Bars points.
The session is non-invasive, deeply relaxing, and often meditative.
Sessions typically last 60–90 minutes.
“Many people fall asleep, feel lighter, or notice their mind is quieter afterward.”
Science behind Access Bars
Dr. Jeffrey Fannin (2015 QEEG Study)
Observed a significant decrease in overactive brainwave patterns
Improved hemispheric coherence (brain balance)
Brain entered a state similar to deep meditation
Dr. Terrie Hope (2017 Peer-Reviewed Study)
Used Beck’s Anxiety and Depression Inventories
84.7% reduction in anxiety; 82.7% in depression after 1 session
Published in the Journal of Energy Psychology
Dr. Astrid Vester (Research Study)
Participants who received Access Bars sessions experienced significant positive shifts in physiological and cognitive markers compared to those who simply rested. These findings suggest the Bars technique may be a simple, non-invasive tool for enhancing relaxation, coherence, and well-being.
