Rapid Accessing
A Simple, Effective Tool For Moving Energy
Developed by Amrita Grace
Rapid Accessing is rooted in the process of Gestalt Therapy (a method of awareness by which perceiving, feeling, and acting are employed in place of interpreting, explaining and judging using old attitudes). It was developed from the process that Baba Dez Nichols refers to as Aspecting.
The intention of this process is to quickly access, feel, and move intense emotions, whether they feel “negative” or “positive”, thereby creating psychic and emotional spaciousness in one’s energy field and body. There is no need to “get to the core” or even to know why the emotion is being felt….simply using the body to release the energy creates amazing shifts in perception.
The key to rapidly accessing the emotions is to use a “story” that is alive in us right now to generate the intensity. We then use specific sounds and movements while feeling the intensity which allows the energy to exit and disperse. We move with intention to not hurt ourselves, anyone else, or the physical space. We can do this alone or we can ask someone to hold neutral witnessing space for us. The best time to access the emotions is when they are fresh, so this process is most effective when used as early as possible after an event or process that generates strong feelings.
The Process:
1. If someone is holding space with you, make agreements. It is important that they do not judge you or take anything personally. They are a neutral witness, reminding you to breathe and feel.
2. Think about a story that is alive in you right now, something that brings up strong emotions of fear, anger, sadness, etc, and/or makes you feel like a victim. Follow the story in deeper, using it to generate the emotions. Breathe deeply.
3. Begin to move your body. You can move to loud, evocative music if that helps. Begin making sounds, allowing the energy to move through your fifth (throat) chakra. Grunting, growling, “HAH”, or wailing sounds are a good start. Allow the feelings to be fully expressed through your body.
Other ways to move your body:
a. Pillow hitting while sitting on your knees (use your forearms, not your fists)
b. Pillow screaming (so you don’t scare the neighbors)
c. Hand screaming, which can be silent but powerful
d. Tantrum on the floor or bed (on your back)
e. Wailing with head thrown back (good for grieving)
f. Dancing is an excellent way to move all kinds of energy
4. Breathe deeply and FEEL throughout the process, until you feel complete.
5. Ground yourself, come back to your breath and stillness.
Rapid accessing can be used to move big ecstatic, joyful energy as well. Once we learn the process, we can move energy as it comes up, rather than holding it in our bodies. It can be done anywhere, anytime, without any special props or assistance. By taking care of ourselves in this way, we are taking full responsibility for our feelings and our stories. As we shift, others around us seem to miraculously shift as well, and we no longer need to try to change or fix anyone, including ourselves!
Once we have created this spaciousness inside ourselves, we have an opportunity to reprogram ourselves with new intentions. After a Rapid Accessing session, be sure to take some meditative time to allow new information to come in and inform you about what energies and choices are available to you now. The empty chalice of your emotional body is ready to receive and be filled with whatever you choose, so choose consciously and with intention for your highest and best good.
