Access Consciousness Bars is a gentle hands-on modality involving light touch on specific points on the head. These points relate to areas of life connected with thoughts, emotions, beliefs, stress patterns and mental processing.
When the Bars points are gently held, the nervous system is able to release accumulated mental and emotional pressure that can keep the brain in a constant state of activity.
Many people today live with continuous mental stimulation - work pressure, decision making, responsibilities, information overload and emotional stress.
Over time this can place a significant load on the nervous system. Access Consciousness Bars sessions allow the brain and nervous system to settle into a deeply relaxed state, where stored mental tension can begin to release.
Clients often report experiencing:
Access Consciousness Bars works alongside other supportive modalities and does not replace medical care.
Friday Club Pretoria East networking today, and Karen Burger shared with the group what TRE ( Tension and Trauma Release Exercises) is and how we all can benefit from this life-changing modality. I can testify to this, as I am nearing completion of my TRE training of 8 months, and will add this separate modality from early next year. 💙🌀🩵 #childhoodtrauma # #childhoodtraumarecovery
A hoarse voice that won't clear isn't always about your throat. Teaching, presenting, selling, singing, anything that asks a lot of your voice day after day. Then it starts catching, or clearing itself throughout the day without your permission. Voice loss and a hoarse voice that lingers can connect to tension through the neck, since the structures involved sit close together. Body Stress Release works with the neck as part of a full process, rather than treating the voice as its own isolated issue. Retha has had good feedback from a range of voice dependent clients this way, including an opera singer and a Latin American vocalist. If your voice has been asking for a break it never gets, WhatsApp 082 558 5686 to start your three sessions. #BodyStressRelease #RethaBodenstein #2026 #VoiceCare #NeckTension #PublicSpeakers #PretoriaEast #ConstantiaPark #BodySystemResetSpace
Chronic pain after a car accident. A nervous system that finally settled. Dineo had been dealing with chronic pain after a car accident and added Access Bars alongside her Body Stress Release sessions. Her own words: my nervous system was more settled and regulated. I usually struggle with settling my mind, dealing with stress and juggling the many balls that I do. This works. Access Bars and Body Stress Release address different layers of the same overloaded system, one working with the nervous system, the other with stored physical tension. These are always separate sessions, never combined into one. WhatsApp 082 558 5686 to book your Access Bars session. #AccessBars #RethaBodenstein #2026 #NervousSystemRegulation #RealResults #StressRelief #BodySystemResetSpace #PretoriaEast #ConstantiaPark
"I no longer have unexplained tension in my hips and back." Years of carrying it, finally addressed. Juanita came in after years of carrying trauma, sceptical that anything hands-on could really touch it. Her own words afterward: I no longer have unexplained tension in my hips and back. I feel more relaxed and in control of my thoughts and emotions. Emotional weight doesn't stay separate from the body. It often settles into the hips and back as stored tension, the kind that doesn't show up with a clear cause. If tension in your hips or back has never had a clear explanation, WhatsApp 082 558 5686 to start your three sessions. #BodyStressRelease #RethaBodenstein #2026 #HipTension #RealResults #EmotionalWellbeing #PretoriaEast #ConstantiaPark #BodySystemResetSpace
Just left us a star review
I have been going to Retha for Body Stress Release on a regular basis and I cannot explain how my body feels after BSR sessions with her... I can only say that it is how I always imagined my body was supposed to feel ... light, pain free, comfortable. Thank you Retha! You are truly amazing!
Retha is really professional. I had 3 sessions with her just before lockdown... and it was really amazing. I could feel the tension and stress leaving. I suffered from upper back..and lower neck pain for almost 6 months on and off...and it was gone immediately after the first session with her...came back a bit a few days later...but then gone so far after session 3 now for 3 weeks! I can really highly recommend her.
Retha is passionate about body stress release. Listens to you and finds the best treatment. I would definitely recommend her.
After falling of my horse and collided with steel poles i could barely move. Hurt my shoulder, elbow and coccyx quite badly and extremely sore muscles i went to see Retha. Within hours after my first session i could move around and sore muscles were not as bad. She also pointed out some other issues i had and worked on them as well. Within a few days my elbow and shoulder were good to go and i could go back to my normal routine of riding and working.
