- Born in the Midwest and raised in San Diego, California, Gary Douglas, creator of Access, describes his childhood as a typical television type, middle class family. "I'm so 'white bread', I really lived the "Leave it to Beaver" childhood," Douglas explains.
Gary explains that he's always been on a spiritual path, seeking deeper answers to life's mysteries. "When I was nine, I decided I wanted to go to church, but my parents didn't. I walked to church with my little sister every Sunday."
"My dad died when I was 17. I learned from his life that working yourself to death for your family doesn't necessarily provide everything they need. I also learned that I had to work, and work hard, for anything I wanted. Later, in college, Douglas ran into a former Sunday school teacher who remembered him and said she knew he wouldn't find what he was looking for in church, but that she hoped he would find the answers he was looking for."
Gary describes the creation of Access as a series of revelations and insights. "What we now call Access started coming through in about July 1990 when I was a successful realtor in Santa Barbara, California," Gary explains. "I began channeling information about points on the head that act like a computer bank for all our thoughts, feelings, emotions, considerations, attitudes, decisions - anything that we decided that was important at anytime in this life or any other lifetime. I felt that maybe this could be a class for massage therapists or bodyworkers. I came home and called four friends to come to a class on energy work. That was the first Access class."
"Since then, it's been a co-creation with the more than 2,000 people who have come to the classes. The process keeps getting more simple and yet more powerful every time we conduct a workshop."
Gary Douglas is the father of 4 children and 1 grandchild. He lives in Santa Barbara, California.
He conducts personal Access consultations at his office and by telephone with clients throughout the United States and North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the Orient. He and a score of Access practitioners conduct Access workshops throughout the world.
Collaborating and co-creating Access with Gary is Dr. Dain Heer. Prior to finding Access, he, like so many others, was seeking a way to improve his life. He had tried twenty or thirty different process and systems but he continued to run up against the brick wall. To others, he may have appeared to be successful, but on the inside, he was very unhappy with himself and his life. He was living with his girlfriend and working as a chiropractor in a small beach community near Santa Barbara. It appeared to be the perfect life to many and yet, he was so intensely unhappy that when his girlfriend would leave for work in the morning, he would lie in bed and cry. He had no idea at that time how he could make his life work or create and accomplish all the dreams that he had for so long.
With all of the processes, systems, and modalities that he tried not working, he began to feel desperate. He knew that there had to be a better way but he just didn't know where to find it. For a while, he even considered suicide as the best available option. He came to the moment in his life where he made the following demand, "Look, universe, you've got six months or I'm killing myself." He was tired of struggling. A week later, he saw a small classified ad that would change his life, the ad simply stated, "Access. All of life comes to me with ease and joy and glory. Call Shannon." He never could have guessed how much this ad would change his life and the lives of many others.
Dain began learning about Access and quickly went through all of the courses. In short time, he became a facilitator. His amazing presence combined with his talents with bodies and healing allowed him to stand out. His willingness to let go of all of his limitations and show up as ever greater than before got the attention of Gary and soon, they began to work together.
Like Gary, Dain too conducts personal consultations and teaches classes all over the world. You can learn more about both of these fine men and what we call Access at www.accessconsciousness.com. We hope to see you or hear from you soon. What will it take for you to show up as the greatness of you?
