What are Access BARS?
Access Bars is a stress-relieving and awareness-raising method that releases mental and emotional blocks by gently touching 32 points on the head.
The treatment is like pressing the Delete button on an overloaded computer – it frees up space by releasing unnecessary “data”.
The Bars technique is used by hundreds of thousands of people in over 180 countries worldwide; it is used by families, schools, businesses, healthcare professionals, athletes and many others.
Participants report that Access Bars creates more peace, deeper relaxation, a more positive outlook on life, stress relief, recharge, and increased energy and creativity.
Scientific background and research results
Although the Access Bars method was long considered merely an esoteric wellness procedure, scientific studies have also appeared in recent years.
Neurologist Dr. Jeffrey L. Fannin led the first such study in 2015, where the brain waves of 60 participants were measured before and after a Bars treatment.
The study showed an increase in brain coherence in 85% of them, indicating that the treatment has a positive neurological effect.
In 2017, Dr. Terrie Hope PhD published a study in the Journal of Energy Psychology analyzing the effects of a single 90-minute Access Bars session on patients with anxiety and depression.
The results were astonishing: an average of 84.7% reduction in anxiety and 82.7% reduction in the severity of depression symptoms after treatment.
Additionally, QEEG brain mapping showed an increase in brain coherence in all participants, indicating an approach to optimal brain functioning.
It is worth noting that optimal brain coherence is associated with factors such as faster learning, better concentration, creativity, and intelligence.
According to the researchers, the significant symptom reduction suggests that Access Bars may be an effective adjunctive treatment for anxiety and depression.
Business applications – positive impacts in the workplace
Access Bars is also gaining more and more traction in corporate well-being programs, especially in companies open to awareness that would like to support the well-being and performance of their employees with new methods.
Based on trainer experiences and case studies, the following benefits have been observed in business with the introduction of Bars:
Stress reduction and burnout prevention
The Bars treatment induces deep relaxation, quiets racing thoughts and releases accumulated tension. As a result, employees feel calmer and are able to cope more effectively with everyday stress. Several companies have reported that the Bars program has helped prevent burnout, improved workplace morale and reduced stress-related absenteeism. The method is simple and can be used in the office during short breaks, providing quick support against overload.
Creativity and innovation
Bars “cleans” the mind, removing mental blocks that hinder creativity. After treatments, employees often feel lighter, more open to new ideas, and come up with bolder thoughts. For example, at a media company, the creative team generated significantly more and more original campaign ideas after Bars sessions. Everyday brainstorming can become fresher when participants are freed from entrenched thought patterns – it’s no coincidence that those who regularly use Access Bars in a business environment report reduced stress, greater focus, and increased creativity.
Increased focus and performance
In a workplace filled with multitasking and information overload, a clear head and sharp focus are essential. Bars “turns off the background noise” in the mind, allowing employees to focus more on their tasks. It is common feedback that after a treatment, employees’ mental freshness increases, they make fewer mistakes, and projects move more smoothly. For example, the HR department at a financial company reported that teams that received Bars treatment on a weekly basis saw a 15% increase in productivity and less stress during peak periods.
Better team dynamics and workplace atmosphere
Conflicts and communication breakdowns in the workplace often stem from built-up stress, judgments or misunderstandings. Access Bars can help release negative emotional charges and prejudices, thus creating space for a more understanding, open attitude. Teams that regularly used Bars treatment improved cooperation and reduced friction: colleagues reported less tension and more harmonious teamwork.
Employee loyalty and commitment
When a company pays attention to the mental well-being of its employees, it also pays off in terms of loyalty. The stress reduction, improved mood and balance experienced through Bars treatments contribute to employees being more satisfied with their jobs and less likely to consider leaving. Workplaces that have implemented Access Bars as part of their well-being program have seen reduced turnover and the company has become more attractive to conscious, value-driven talent.
Effects on personal quality of life
Access Bars can bring tangible changes not only at work, but also in your personal life. Whether used as an individual therapy or within a family, those who have received treatment have reported many positive experiences:
Mental health and mood
Clinical studies show that Bars can dramatically improve mental health after just one session. For example, participants in a 2017 pilot study reported an average of ~85% less anxiety and ~82% less depressive symptoms after treatment. These numbers reflect what many people experience subjectively: Bars takes a significant amount of mental burden off their shoulders. It is not uncommon for guests to report feeling incredibly relaxed after the treatment:
"I feel very happy right now."
Relaxation and sleep quality
One of the most immediate effects of Access Bars is deep relaxation. Many people compare the experience to several hours of restful sleep. “It was like I had slept for ten hours. It’s incredibly relaxing.” Stress hormone levels can decrease, the body and nervous system calm down, so the quality of sleep improves and you feel more rested the next day.
Ease and greater self-confidence
After a Bars treatment, people often report a feeling of “lightness” – as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders. Resilience and self-confidence increase as negative, negative thoughts are released. The inner critical voice or self-judgment that has been holding them back may disappear – replaced by inner peace and acceptance.
Relationships and family harmony
An interesting “side effect” of Bars is that the positive changes in an individual often have an impact on their environment. Becoming calmer, more flexible, and more patient can improve relationships and the family atmosphere. One father reported that his son’s frequent tantrums completely disappeared after a few Bars treatments, and “their family life became more peaceful.”
