Introduction
Have you ever experienced a holistic therapy session and thought, “Wait, why do I feel off?” Maybe you feel a little tired, unusually emotional or irritated over the smallest things. Don’t worry, this is completely normal and often a sign that the healing is working. Access Bars is a non-invasive and soothing technique that helps in releasing cluttered thoughts, stuck emotions and negative energy by gently touching 32 specific points on the head. As your energy shifts, it is natural to notice some side effects of Access Bars.
The Common Side Effects of Access Bars (And How to Manage Them)
Mild Headache or Feeling of Pressure in the Head
During the therapy, you release thoughts, feelings and energies that have been stored in your brain for ages. While these energies clear up, your brain is in a reset mode, meaning it will take some time to adjust to the improved energy flow. These headaches are temporary and are some of the typical side effects of Access Bars. To alleviate the pain, you can;
- Drink lots of water to detox any lingering toxic energies.
- Have a nourishing and light meal.
- Give your eyes some rest by limiting your screen time.
Feeling Tired or Sleepy
Fatigue and sleepiness are common side effects of Access Bars that often indicate that the healing is working. Many people feel overstimulated or hyperactive when they are stressed. Once this tension and anxiety are released, your nervous system goes into the ‘rest and digest mode’, associated with relaxation and healing. Hence, you feel tired. So, if you want to avoid this, you can do the following things:
- A nap can do wonders or if possible, you could even try going to sleep early.
- Take a break from the high-intensity cardio routines and try to do a low-impact exercise, stretching or yoga.
Emotional Overwhelm or Irritability
During an Access Bars session, the emotional release can be intense as unresolved emotions linked to past trauma may surface, offering an opportunity for release and healing. It is a cathartic experience as you let go of all the buried pain. Some feel instantly light while others may initially feel emotionally overwhelmed or even a bit irritated. This is normal as you are still processing the healing. Try to;
- Process your emotions freely without casting any judgment on yourself. Cry, if you have to, laugh, if you want to and just let the healing come naturally.
- When you feel overwhelmed, take long and deep breaths.
- Journal about any memories that came up during the session or simply about how you feel to help you navigate your emotions.
Feeling ‘Floaty’ or Zoned Out
One of the Access Bars healing side effects that many experience is feeling ‘floaty’ or a little zoned out. It is a natural reaction of your mind and body as they adjust to the energetic changes that were made during the session. This could also be a sign of deep relaxation, where your brain waves shift from Beta waves (alertness) to Alpha or Theta waves (relaxation), which can lead to you feeling spaced out or disconnected from your surroundings. In contrast, some clients feel highly sensitive or more aware of everything around them after a session. Try these activities to stay grounded;
- Take a stroll in the fresh air or try walking barefoot on grass to feel connected with the earth beneath you.
- Try mindfulness meditation as it is really effective in helping you be more present in the moment.
- Connect with nature by sitting silently and observing the rustling of leaves, chirping of birds and the beautiful colour of flowers and the sky.
When Should You Be Concerned?
The side effects of Access Bars are mild and temporary and should not last more than a week. If you don’t feel better after a week or if these symptoms worsen, it is safer to consult with a practitioner. In usual cases, these side effects will fade away after a few days and you will start noticing the Access Bars benefits which include;
- Boost in self-confidence
- Reduced Stress and Increased Relaxation
- Better decision making
- Less brain fog and more mental clarity
- Restful and sound sleep
Wrapping it Up!
The side effects of Access Bars can include mild headaches, feeling tired, being zoned out or feeling overwhelmed emotionally. These are temporary and are often signs of healing, indicating that your body is adjusting to the positive energy shifts. However, you should talk to your healer if they don’t clear up within a week.
