When was the last time you experienced true relaxation in your body?

Wednesday, 11th July 2012

"As I fell from the top of the mountain, I tried to slow myself down, jabbing with my feel and my hands. It didn't work. I went over 100-foot drop, and I was free-falling and gaining speed all over again. What ensued was a mess of tumbling, falling headfirst, feet first, on my back, then on my front. My body twisted in every possible way. I didn't even remember going over the second cliff, but for some reason, I do recall the third. It knocked me out”. At the end of the fall, he was still standing. "This was going to muck up my trip to Everest,” he thought. Then he passed out.

This is the incredibly but true story of a veteran mountain climber Adam Potter's fall 1000 vertical feet from an icy mountain peek, not only surviving but standing up at the end of it. Only when they winched him up into the rescue helicopter, did he collapse. Does this bear any resemblance to YOUR life? Are you bruised, battered, but still standing, because you are functioning on the adrenaline pump? Is relaxation a foreign land, one you may have heard about but never visited, even on vacation? Like the mountain climber in free-fall, do you have two speeds: hyper-alert and complete black out, with or without chemical assistance?

What if relaxation were possible, here, now, in this body, and even on a regular basis? What if relaxation were a state you functioned from on a regular basis? Sounds good, you may say, but how do I get there? Can I log it in as a destination on my favourite travel site? Curiously enough you can travel to this destination or even take up residence there while inhabiting this physical body without even stepping into an airport. Your nearest Access Consciousness Bars session or class, offered now in 26 countries worldwide is now in Tramore, Co. Waterford.

What if relaxation were only the firt stop? What if through relaxation, you could discover much more that could be possible for your life? The relaxation that is facilitated by the "Bars” not only feels great but it can also totally change your life. One doctor who was contemplating suicide so seriously that he had even picked a date for the event, got a bars session, laughed through the whole session, and never contemplated suicide again. That was 11 years ago.

Receiving the bars changes the electrical function of the brain, says Gary Douglas, who developed the technique 20 yeas ago. Doctors of different disciplines who are experts in biofeedback have corroborated this information. These doctors were able to describe changes in their brainwaves, one of the measures of the electrical functioning of the brain, after receiving a bars session. Their brain waves changed from beta through alpha to the relaxed state of theta, they reported.

The Bars can be learned in a relaxing, fun one-day class. During the class, you receive and gift two complete sessions, which qualifies you to do it after class for friends, relatives and even paying clients if you wish.

The energies these methods use are unique to Access Consciousness. Many people have used these energetic body processes to heal all kinds of incurable conditions, ranging from psychological bi-polar disorder to cancers, arthritis and other degenerative and traumatically induced complaints.

These miraculous healings are just a side effect in Gary Douglas' point of view. His target is consciousness. Those who are interested in consciousness tend to experience phenomenal healing in their bodies both from the verbal processes taught in the Bars classes as well as from the hands on body work. "Consciousness creates healing, healing does not create consciousness” Gary Douglas has found.
