Terapia Access Bars , sesiones individuales en LA PLATA, Buenos Aires, Argentina
¿Te gustaría eliminar de tu cabeza todo lo que te limita? ¿Te gustaría estar más alegre y atraer la abundancia a tu vida? “Todo en la vida viene a mí con facilidad, alegría y gloria”.
Los pensamientos son una forma de energía que tienen carga eléctrica. Cuando pensamos mucho nuestro cerebro se sobrecarga, lo que hace que éste se encuentre en una frecuencia de ondas Beta. Este tipo de frecuencia nos bloquea, dificulta enormemente la relajación y eleva el nivel de estrés con los problemas que todo esto conlleva.
Access Bars es una técnica de aplicación manual que consigue, mediante unos suaves toques en ciertos puntos específicos de la cabeza, que las ondas cerebrales cambien, pasando de ondas Beta (estado de vigilia) a ondas Theta o Delta (estados de relajación profunda).
¿Pero es sólo eso Access Bars?
Access Bars es un proceso que activa 32 barras energéticas situadas en la cabeza. Cada una de estas barras contiene información sobre determinadas áreas de la vida (dinero, control, creatividad, poder, sexualidad, cuerpo, envejecimiento, alegría, tristeza, etc.). La información que dichas barras contienen son los puntos de vista que has ido creando y haciendo significativos a lo largo de tu existencia y que, de una forma u otra, te mantienen anclado y te impiden mejorar en algún aspecto de tu vida.
Al ser estimuladas, las barras comienzan a descargarse y eliminar información (carga eléctrica). Se trata, literalmente, de formatear nuestro cerebro, como si de un disco duro se tratase.
¿Significa eso que perderás información valiosa para ti? ¿que olvidarás nombres, datos importantes o recuerdos vitales? PARA NADA.
Access Bars no borra ese tipo de información, llamémosla objetiva, sino que, por ejemplo, hará desaparecer puntos de vista, percepciones como “los hombres son malos” o “hay que sufrir para conseguir lo que se quiere” seas consciente de ellas o no. Estas ideas asentadas en tu mente están limitando tu capacidad de recibir mucho más de esta vida.
¿Y qué se siente después de que esas barras sean activadas en una sesión de Access Bars?
El primer síntoma suele ser una relajación profunda como casi nunca antes se ha experimentado. Muchas personas se duermen durante la sesión, otras entran en un estado de entresueño, en el que parecen dormidas pero están conscientes. En este estado de la mente, el inconsciente comienza a soltar y eliminar la basura acumulada durante años de forma suave y placentera. El segundo síntoma suele ser una sensación de paz y claridad mental, muy poco común para la mayoría de las personas.
En los días siguientes a la sesión te envuelve un sentimiento de mayor seguridad y confianza en ti mismo, mayor creatividad, más soltura y alegría a la hora de relacionarte, y más placer y dinamismo en cuanto a lo físico se refiere.
¿Y a todo el mundo le pasa lo mismo? No, esto es lo que la mayoría describimos, en algunos casos la experiencia ha sido incluso mejor ¿Quieres saber qué más sucede tras una sesión?
Los pensamientos limitantes y juicios que habitaban tu cabeza comienzan a desaparecer. Dejas de actuar en función del pasado o del miedo al futuro para vivir plenamente conectado con el presente.
Lo que antes creías que era difícil o imposible sucede con menos o ningún esfuerzo de tu parte. Las posibilidades infinitas empiezan a mostrarse en tu vida y por primera vez en años vuelves a tener posibilidad de elección (real), no de elegir en base a tus pensamientos o sentimientos viejos y obsoletos que te limitaban, sino en base a tu conocimiento del momento presente.
Access Bars es el inicio de un cambio de paradigma y una forma diferente de obrar en el mundo. Resulta tan fácil que parece mentira, lo sé, y tan profundo que deja boquiabierto a más de una persona, pero cuando lo experimentes entenderás de lo que hablo.

✔️ Connecting with others in an authentic way — this time through the body
✔️ No steps, no choreography. Two left feet are welcome!
✔️ Inspiring movement invitations that awaken your inner child and reveal hidden potentials
If you’re ready to dive into the unknown and meet others in a direct, playful, and unpredictable way, this is your call! Remember: our bodies don’t lie — they simply express what is alive within us.

💫 **Biodanza: Conexión auténtica a través del movimiento** 💫🫂
¿Alguna vez viviste esta experiencia? Conocés a alguien en la pista de baile, comparten un ritmo, una mirada, una sonrisa. Ni siquiera sabés su nombre y, sin embargo, sentís una complicidad y una profunda conexión humana. Eso es Biodanza.
🔹 **¿Qué podés esperar?**
✔️ Conectar con otras personas de manera auténtica — esta vez a través del cuerpo
✔️ Sin pasos, sin coreografías. ¡Bienvenidas las personas con dos pies izquierdos!
✔️ Propuestas de movimiento inspiradoras que despiertan tu niño interior y evocan potenciales tapadas
Si estás lista/o para sumergirte en lo desconocido y encontrarte con otras personas de una manera directa, lúdica e impredecible, esta es tu invitación. Recordá: el cuerpo no miente, simplemente expresa lo que está vivo en nuestro interior.
📍 **¿Dónde?** Centro Cultural “La Insólita”, Lezica 4044 (Almagro)
💰 **¿Cuánto?** 23.000$ Si venis con alguien hay una promo 2x1!
🙋🏼♀️ **¿Quién?** La facilitadora es Valerie Kattenfeld. Se formó con la familia de los fundadores de Biodanza y le apasiona acompañar procesos grupales que fomentan la conexión humana en espacios seguros y libres de juicio, utilizando la danza como herramienta principal.
👟 **¿Qué traer?** Vení con ropa cómoda que te permita moverte con facilidad, tanto de pie como en el suelo. Traé una botella de agua.
☕ **¿Y después?** ¡Después de Biodanza podés sumarte a un café en Diletto, que queda cerquita!

Contra dance March 21 (First Unitarian Universalist Church) note new time!
# **Band and caller TBA**
Beginner lesson at 1:30, regular dancing begins at 2:00 pm
NOTE THAT WE ARE TEMPORARILY DANCING IN THE AFTERNOON INSTEAD OF EVENING. Dance with us in the afternoon then you can still go out in the evening!
**Sponsor: All Soles Contra and Square Dancing, First Unitarian Universalist Church, 93 W. Weisheimer Rd., Columbus OH 43214**
WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing!
Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor.
Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 1:30 - 2:00, followed by dancing 2:00 - 430. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner.
Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot.
Please bring your own refillable water bottle.

CBusData - Discover the Power of Window Functions
Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems:
* Using running totals
* Performing operations in intervals
* Identifying data gaps and islands
* Performing aggregates without losing detail
Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.
