What Are Access Bars? A Beginner's Guide to the 32 Points
At the heart of Access Consciousness is a gentle hands-on technique known as the Bars. Here's what it is, in plain terms.
'The Bars' is the most well-known part of Access Consciousness, and usually the first thing people try. If you only learn about one piece of this work, make it this one.
The basic idea
There are 32 points on the head — the 'bars' — that a trained practitioner touches lightly during a session. Each point is associated with a theme in life such as money, control, creativity, ageing, healing or joy. The touch is gentle; there's no massage or manipulation.
What happens in a session
You lie down, fully clothed, and relax. The practitioner rests their fingers on pairs of points for a while, moving through them over the session. Most people drift into a deeply restful state; some fall asleep. There's nothing you need to do.
- Fully clothed, lying comfortably on a table.
- Light, still touch on points around the head.
- 60–90 minutes of doing absolutely nothing.
What people notice
Reports vary, but common ones include a sense of calm, better sleep that night, and feeling lighter or less mentally cluttered. Some people notice more over a series of sessions; others feel a shift the first time.
The worst that happens is you feel like you've had a wonderful nap. The best is much more interesting.
That last line is a favourite in the community for a reason — it captures how low-risk and high-comfort a first session is. If you're in Pune and curious, a first Bars session with Bhavesh is the natural place to begin.
