HOW DO THE ACCESS BARS WORK?
When the Access Bars® are gently touched, brain wave activity can begin to slow, creating an opportunity to access deeply rooted behavioral patterns, belief systems, and fixed points of view. This shift may allow the brain to transition from a beta state (alert and focused) to an alpha state (relaxed and calm), then into theta (deep relaxation and inner awareness), and even delta (deep sleep).
Many people report that Access Bars® sessions enhance brain function, improve focus, boost emotional stability, and increase brain coherence. These sessions can help you release the fixed decisions and beliefs you've held about different areas of your life—especially the ones you thought couldn't change.

WHAT ELSE IS POSSIBLE?
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
Access Bars® was developed over 30 years ago by Gary Douglas, the founder of Access Consciousness®. What started as a simple hands-on energy technique has since grown into a global practice taught in over 170 countries, with thousands of trained facilitators and hundreds of thousands of people experiencing a Bars class worldwide.
Today, Access Bars sessions are being shared in wellness spaces across the globe as a tool for deep relaxation and personal transformation.
WHAT RESEARCH HAS DISCOVERED
Research of Access Bars sessions on stress and emotional well-being have suggested that participants may experience reduced feelings of anxiety and improved emotional balance following a session.
In 2015, renowned neuroscientist Dr. Jeffrey L. Fannin studied the neurological effects of Bars sessions with 60 participants. He found that the changes in brain activity resembled those seen in long-term meditators—delivering immediate and measurable results.
In a 2017 peer-reviewed study published in the Journal of Energy Psychology: Theory, Research, and Treatment, Dr. Terrie Hope PhD, DNM, CFMW, reported noticeable shifts in anxiety and depression scores after a single session.

And what if now is the moment to discover what’s possible for you? †
IN THE MEDIA
BODY AND SOUL and ODYSSEY have both highlighted Access Bars® as a gentle yet powerful modality that many people experience as deeply transformative for mental clarity, emotional release, and overall wellbeing. Across their wellness-focused perspectives, a common thread emerges: when the mind quiets, people often report feeling lighter, clearer, and more open to possibility.
What stands out in their shared narrative is the emphasis on “release” — letting go of accumulated stress, limiting thoughts, and emotional overload. Rather than pushing or forcing change, Access Bars® is framed as a process that creates space for ease, where people may shift out of overwhelm and into a more grounded sense of calm.
Both BODY AND SOUL and ODYSSEY also connect the practice to modern life challenges — burnout, anxiety, constant mental noise — suggesting that Access Bars® offers a restorative pause from the intensity of daily thinking. In that pause, many individuals describe renewed creativity, improved sleep, and a greater sense of emotional balance. †
