Hope in the face of suicide

Suicide is a modern epidemic which is much talked about but often fills us with despair at the thought that nothing much can be done to prevent it.
The modern lifestyle fools us into thinking that to be happy we must be successful and have things to make us happy. We think when I get the perfect job, or house or relationship then I’ll be happy. but unfortunately, the world doesn’t work that way. You need to be happy with yourself first and foremost but how do we do it? I would like to share Dain’s story as an example of someone seriously contemplating suicide and how he was able to turn it around.
Dain says “I had gotten to a point where I had everything that was supposed to make a person happy – and it had absolutely no value to me. I had tried every single modality for inner peace I could find, but I was still dying inside. I was so deeply unhappy I was considering suicide. I even set a date. I gave the Universe six months to change my life”.
“What no one knew was how miserable and unhappy I was most of the time. If you were to tell this story to the people that knew me, many of them would tell you that you were crazy. I was very good at hiding what was really going on from the people that knew me and looked up to me. And quite frankly, I didn’t know for sure that there was anything different as a possibility to living my life. I was doing the best I could with the tools I had available.” Says Dain.
Within a week of making his demand for change in his life Dain found out about an energy healing process called Access Bars®. Initially he was very sceptical but as he had already tried almost everything to change his life for the better he decided to have a session – what did he have to lose?
“I had an Access Bars® session and it is a simple process of touching points on the person’s head. It was the first sense of peace I’d had in almost three years. It was the first time remembering everything was ok, everything always had been, and everything always would be… and I never contemplated suicide again.” said Dain.
As part of Suicide Awareness Week (Sept 10th-16th 2017) two local Access Bars® practitioners are offering free sessions to those at risk in our community. This week culminates in the Waikato Wellness Fair on Sunday 17th Sept at Gordonton Hall where you can experience a Bars session for $20. If you are aware of someone at risk of suicide in your community please contact Catherine Weston 022 3064865 or Chrissie Shirley 022 1877313 to book a free Access Bars® Session.

  * Creating Space * 2022 * In the practice of Nia we ‘Create the Space’ in our trainings, meetings and sometimes before class. It is a mindfulness practice that allows us to eliminate distractions. I am now choosing to enter a time where I will create the space for an extended period of time for myself personally & for my family - within the year of 2022. Creating space will also allow me to remove unnecessary distractions and allow for clarity so that I can actualize my life and living anew. By giving myself and my family time to rest, reflect and renew I will be in a better space to offer classes, workshops and individual sessions when the time is right in the future. Thank you for your understanding and patience through this space. I may still share some words and images of inspiration and healing on my business FB pages from time to time if the feeling takes me. In practical terms individual sessions finished on Thursday 2nd December 2021. My last online Nia class was on W...

EFT Tapping and Access Consciousness Tools – a powerful combination.

Often, we are taught tools or techniques that may help us but how often do we actually use them? We forget them after a time, then we think – how do I do that again? However, if we take tools in their simplest form and combine them with other simple energetic techniques we create a heightened synergy and then we create something greater as if by magic. EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a simple process of tapping on various end points of meridians on our face, torso and hands and is combined with affirmations and repeated verbal phrases.  Access Consciousness uses loads of tools – but one of the simplest is asking questions. When we ask a question without the aim of answering it, it opens us up to other possibilities in our life. If we tap on the EFT points and repeat a question while we tap on each point it can lead to an awareness of a possibility with that area we are asking about.  For example; a great question to ask is ‘How does it get any better than this?’...

How Access Bars changed my life

My first experience of the Bars was in my first Bars class - I felt a great sense of peace and deep relaxation I hadn't experienced before. It also released trauma from my body and mind in relation to an accident I had 15 years ago - it came flooding up in waves of gentle tears and was washed away with the Bars. This experience was life changing - I felt invigorated, energised and so excited that I had just learnt a technique that I could share with others in my life and also with my clients. 2 years after that class I am now a qualified Bars Facilitator so I can now teach the Bars Class. I have been having my Bars run every week for most of 2017 (about 8 months) which allows me to be fully present in my life and have an ease, joy and flow in my life that I have never had before. Sometimes the changes I experienced with the Bars were small and subtle but now I look back to what my life looked like 2 years ago - the change over this time is huge, dynamic and phenomenal - what wou...
