How is Reiki different to Access Bars?

How is reiki different from the Access Bars?

People ask me this question all the time…in fact, I asked this myself when I first heard about the “Bars”.

At that time in my life I had already been ‘adorned’ as a Reiki Master since I was 16 years old, and had accrued many other healing modalities. I was certified in Magnified Healing using the Violet Flame, Neuro-Stress Release - which was an integrated healing and coaching system that combined cranio-sacral healing with kinesiology, body talk and a few other things sprinkled in - as well as other more cognitive coaching/healing methodologies like the Demartini Method, NLP, Neuro Semantics etc., and so I really wanted to know how Access Bars would be different and not just another certification that I would learn and never be truly satisfied by. 

Maybe you can relate…

How many healing modalities and self help strategies have you already tried that have left you still seeking more?

In my first class with Access Bars I sat there with all my pre-conceived judgments, conclusions, projections, expectations, about what it was, wasn’t, could be, couldn’t be and slowly but surely, with every use of the Access Clearing statement, all of that melted away and the space and consciousness that started expanding in my world was like magic. I knew that it was what I had been seeking and asking for but still had no clue how much of a continuous contribution to my life it would actually be and still is.
Everything I was hearing in the class it was like I already knew it; but it wasn’t from the limited place of my cognitive mind and reference points. It was from my capacity of knowing, which I soon discovered is very different and way more what is actually the place and space that we, as Infinite Beings, function from.

It’s not about you

One of the first places Reiki and other healing modalities differ from Access Bars is they don’t come from the point of view that I need to be the ‘healer’, conduit, channel who ‘does this thing’ to you. There’s nothing else you need to be, other than YOU! What gift are you already that you’ve never acknowledged?

There are no attunements required, no higher levels of consciousness that you need to reach or ascend to. All that is simply required is learning 32 points on the head that relate to different areas of life, that you lightly touch…and the rest happens on it’s own. There’s no intention you have to have, no healing you have to do, no symbol you have to draw or activate, nothing. All you have to do is be there to ‘run their bars’.

Once these Bars of energy (hence the name) are activated by your touch, they begin to dissipate all the electromagnetic charge that has been generated by all the thoughts, feelings, emotions, and points of views that person has related to the area of the Bar you are running. What this does is create space - space to create, to know, to be, to receive, and to perceive all the infinite possibilities, choices, and change that is actually available to you.

It’s about creating space - How much do you currently have?'

Creating space is one of the biggest benefits from running the Access Bars and you might be wondering what having space has to do with anything and why you would ever want to do such a thing.

Well, if we liken your mind to a tiny studio apartment in NYC and one day the Universe delivered this massive shipment of _____________(insert whatever you have been asking for), but there was no space for you to RECEIVE it…how bummed would you be?

In this reality, we are not taught or encouraged to receive. We are taught to be humble (not receive too many compliments), only receive certain energies from people that are ‘appropriate’, taught to put barriers up to avoid negative energy and on and on it goes.  But receiving is another one of our innate capacities and if we expanded our capacity to receive ALL of life - without judgment - we would have ALL of what we truly desire with greater ease.

It’s about Gifting and Receiving - What are you refusing to receive that you could be choosing?

Oh but wait, there’s more.   Not only is it about creating the space to receive more in your life, when you are the one running someone else’s Bars you also get to clear all the points of views and corresponding charges that you have in common with that person. How cool is that?!

Other modalities teach you that you can’t clear or change something in someone else unless you haven conquered/learned/overcome it yourself. That’s an interesting point of view. So does that mean you have to overcome cancer or abuse in order to be a contribution to someone else? That doesn’t sound like fun. What if just by being you, running someone’s bars for them, you knew you were being a greater contribution that if you were actually having to DO anything TO them?

How much easier and more empowering is that? How much more communion would people be more willing to be in with others, if they knew that by giving an Access Bars session, they too were receiving the change? How much superiority are some people operating from when they do ‘healing’ on you? Does that actually contribute and empower you to know what you know? What if receiving had nothing to do with someone else actually doing anything to you? Are you receiving the contribution that the sun is without it ‘doing’ anything other than just Being the sun?

So how else is it different to Reiki and other healing modalities?

Access Bars is also different from Reiki and other healing modalities in that it’s not about doing anything to you or anyone. It’s about dissipating all the electromagnetic charge that prevents you and others from Being all that you truly Be.

Reiki and many other modalities - are cool, can feel nice for a while - but their basis is not that you are an Infinite Being, with infinite possibilities and capacities - instead it’s about how to continue relating to this reality, instead of creating beyond it.

If you no longer had to relate to the world, in the way that you’re used to, what else would be possible?

We’re functioning from all the fixed point of view and relational reference points that, we don’t even like to be, want to be, but refuse to change, that if we chose to change it and BE something different, could give us everything we would love.

Everything you’re doing is relating to the world around you, not creating the world you could be creating.

Relationship is the distance between two objects. So everything that you are relating to in thoughts, feelings, emotions, and all other points of view that you relate to yourself and others and the world through, is what perpetuates the reality that you keep experiencing. Running Access Bars clears all of that so that you can literally BE, do and have something greater all the time and continuously create your own reality that actually reflects what you would like to choose, not what you think you have to choose. You can’t be relational and infinite at the same time. So when you start to run your own Bars and other people’s you dissipate everything that hasn’t allowed you to occupy that Infinite Space you actually BE.

What else would be possible for you with the gift of Access Bars?

What happens during a session?

Anything can show up when you have your Bars run. All you need to do is lie down comfortably and receive. Each of the 32 Bars of energy get ‘run’ for a few minutes at a time and while that occurs a multitude of things can occur or not - each person and session is different. People have experienced deep, profound relaxation, some have fallen fast asleep, some have laughed and giggled and had immense joy for the first time in a long time, others have cried, others have wiggled and shaken, and some have just lay there in stillness or conversation with me until the end. There’s no right/wrong; better/worse way to have a session.

The real gift is actually having or giving a session. Have you had one yet? Is now the time?

Can you learn Access Bars to run on others?

Yes of course! There is a 1 day Access Bars class that certifies you as an Access Bars Practitioner where you learn the 32 points, give two sessions and receive two sessions and at the end of the day you are equipped to run Bars on others and charge money for your time, or not. If you’d like to take things further and teach Access Bars, you can become an Access Bars Facilitator, by taking 3 classes with 3 different facilitators.
