Access Bars London: Could Holding Your Head Clear Up Your Relationships Headaches?

Are your relationships giving you a headache?  There is an alternative to holding your head in your hands in despair!  It’s called the Bars™.
Does this mean you should be heading to your local bar for a good stiff drink?  Not exactly!  “The Bars™” are a set of 32 points on your head which, when gently held, release your negativity—your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, decisions, judgments—on any topic. The Bars™ are one of the many tools of Access Consciousness™, a 25 year old approach to awareness developed by best-selling author Gary Douglas of Santa Barbara, CA.
If you’re finding your thinking and your actions in any area of your life to be in a rut, Bars™ can smooth out the rut so that you can see other points of view that never would have occurred to you before.  One of the things that people receiving a Bars™ session for the first time often notice is that situations and people that used to upset them become far less annoying, almost as if by magic.

Access Bars London: What Can New Brain Science Discoveries Tell Us About The Bars?

Twenty five years ago a weird man named Gary Douglas channeled some information about touching points on the head and how that could change electrical brain function.
Ten years later, science discovered that the points he called “joy” and “sadness” were correlated with the experience of those emotions.
Several doctors who are experts in biofeedback—one psychologist, one chiropractor—have reported changes in their brainwave function when receiving the bars.  They reported changes from beta through alpha to theta, the relaxed state just short of sleep.
Now Newsweek magazine, in a cover story called “Money Brain,” tells us more about research into localization of different functions in the brain.  This has interesting implications for those of us who “run the bars,” performing that light healing touch to specific points on the head that create deep relaxation and profound changes in personality and behavior.

Access Bars London: Is It Worth Considering an Alternative to Anti-depressants?

ACCESS BARS PRACTITIONERS SAY YES!
Is it time to question our reliance—some would say, over-reliance—on antidepressants to ease the pain of depression, which seems to be so common these days?
A 2010 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that anti-depressants such as Paxil are only effective for the most severely depressed patients.  Only the most severely depressed were even included in the studies, and only the most depressed among those were found to benefit from the medication.
Is the public being subjected to false advertising?  “The important feature of this evidence base is not reflected in the implicit messages present in the marketing of these medications to clinicians and the public,” said the researchers, who studied the results of 6 different studies on the effectiveness of anti-depressant medications.
