The Secret Life of the Overwhelmed Empath: Can Access Bars Help?
If you’re the kind of person who walks into a room and immediately senses someone’s mood…
If your heart hurts when your best friend cries—even if you were having a great day…
If crowded spaces feel like emotional war zones…
…then congratulations. You might just be an empath or a highly sensitive person. And while that sounds beautifully poetic, let’s be honest—it can also feel like emotional whiplash.
Because of being an empath in India? That’s a full-time emotional job.
In a land where everyone’s feelings are loud, families are tight, and emotional expression is both revered and suppressed, you’re often the one absorbing what no one else will say out loud.
The fights no one resolved.
The trauma no one talked about.
The sorrow floats between temple bells and traffic jams.
It’s no wonder your nervous system is exhausted.
Are You an Energetic Sponge in a Leaky World? Try Access Bars for Relief
You may not realise it, but you’re probably picking up more than you’re consciously aware of.
You meet a colleague who just broke up with her boyfriend—you feel heavy for the rest of the day.
You visit a hospital to see a relative—you leave feeling drained and weirdly sad.
You talk to your mom on the phone, and suddenly her guilt about your eating habits becomes your own.
And you think, “Maybe I’m just too sensitive.”
But what if your sensitivity isn’t the problem?
What if the problem is that no one ever taught you how to protect your energy?
What if you’re not “too emotional” but simply carrying emotions that were never yours?
The Empath’s Dilemma: Deeply Connected, But Deeply Drained – Enter Access Bars
Let me introduce you to Rhea.
She’s a 29-year-old graphic designer from Delhi, obsessed with plants, chai, and calling herself a “recovering overthinker.” She’s also the emotional therapist of her friend group.
You know the type.
She can sense when someone’s upset, even if they say, “I’m fine.” She doesn’t just listen—she absorbs. Takes on their energy like it’s her job. Then wonders why she’s crying at 11 p.m. over a meme.
After years of therapy and mindfulness apps, Rhea still felt energetically “contaminated.” She wasn’t burnt out from doing too much—she was burnt out from feeling too much.
That’s when she found Access Bars.
Access Bars: A Powerful Reset for Empaths and Highly Sensitive People
So, what are Access Bars?
No, it’s not a protein snack or a musical genre.
Access Bars is an energy healing modality where a trained practitioner gently touches 32 specific points on your head. Each point corresponds to different areas of life—healing, creativity, control, sadness, and more.
Think of it as deleting the emotional junk files stored in your brain from everyone else’s stories.
Because as an empath, you’re not just storing your own thoughts—you’re carrying others’ emotions, beliefs, and drama like an energetic suitcase.
During a Bars session, all that noise starts to quiet down. Not with effort. Not with analysis. Just by allowing energy to release.
Rhea described it like this:
“It was the first time in years I felt like me. Not me trying to fix others. Just me, resting, receiving, resetting.”
Why Talk Therapy Sometimes Doesn’t Cut It? Access Bars Might Be What You Need
Let’s get real—therapy is amazing. Journaling is great. Meditation apps have their place.
But for empaths, the overload isn’t always cognitive. It’s energetic.
You didn’t just think about someone’s pain. You absorbed it.
No amount of insight will clear that until you move it out of your field.
Access Bars work on that subtle, invisible level. It doesn’t just make you feel better. It makes you feel lighter because it gets rid of what was never yours to carry.
The Indian Empath’s Experience: How Access Bars Helps With Family, Guilt, and Generational Drama
In Indian households, emotional boundaries are as rare as silence at a shaadi.
We are raised to feel everyone’s emotions.
Your dad’s stress becomes your sleepless night.
Your mother’s worry turns into your digestive issues.
Your dadi’s emotional baggage lives rent-free in your spine.
And we call it sanskaar.
But here’s the truth: you can be kind without absorbing everything. You can love your family without drowning in their pain. And you can be connected without being emotionally hijacked.
Access Bars teaches you to let go. To detach with love. To finally ask:
“Who does this belong to?”
And if the answer is “not me,” you let it go.
Just like that.
What Happens During an Access Bars Session? (Especially for Empaths)
Simple. You lie down, fully clothed, on a massage table. A practitioner touches the Bars on your head. You breathe. You receive.
There’s no talking unless you want to. No visualisations. No effort.
Just energy moving. Gently. Quietly. Powerfully.
People often report feeling a soft buzzing in the head, tingling in the limbs, or waves of emotional release. Some cry. Some laugh. Some sleep. Most walk out feeling like they just had the best nap of their life, without actually sleeping.
Rhea, after her third session, said:
“I finally realised how much energy I had been wasting trying to manage everyone else’s emotions. Now, I choose mine.”
