Turn back the clock

A simple process called Energetic Facelift can restore your skin, turn back aging and energise you, says Shivi Verma
Some months back, I received a call from a licensed practitioner of Access Bars in Mumbai, asking me to experience an Energetic Facelift in her class. The therapy claimed to restore one’s youth and beauty.
I was intrigued. My under eyes had begun to show fine lines ever since I had reached my mid 30s. I would often wish for a tool to iron them out, like one irons rumpled clothes. Although at that moment I could not commit, because of several other engagements, recently I found myself at practitioner Anjana Barot’s Anaanta Centre for Holistic Therapy in Andheri. I was not in the best of shape. I had undergone a surgical removal of my right wisdom tooth a couple of days back, and was in much pain as a result. My right cheek was badly swollen, and I was feeling low and depressed
in spirit.
Anjana, a young, fit woman with dark, loose hair framing her oval face, came across as a very unassuming person.
In a brief introduction she disclosed that she had graduated as an occupational therapist from Seth G S Medical College from Mumbai University, and worked with differently-abled children for a long time. Her interest in healing made her learn Dynamic Reiki, EFT, inner child work, hypnobirthing, and past-life regression. She also works with Access tools to resolve issues.
Somehow, all the participants that day had cancelled their appointment, and I was alone in her centre. As we chatted about her life and work, she was able to tune into my mind and speak aloud the thoughts that were running through it. She said that such thoughts had come to her in the wee hours of the morning, and she could discern that they were not her thoughts. “Now I realise that I had tuned into your mind since we were supposed to meet.”
I conceded that they were indeed my thoughts, yet I had no resistance to them since they were a part of my being. “But wouldn’t you want to feel better?”, she asked. I thought and said, “Yes.” “So what do you need to do in order to feel good?” she asked again. This set me thinking, and I accepted that I needed to not procrastinate and address the situation at hand immediately. She kept on asking me questions, and my mind went on popping up answers. This rescued me from my inertia, and opened up new perspectives. I began to feel better. “This is what Gary does,” she said. “Gary Douglas, the founder of Access Consciousness, advises people to be in a state of questioning. This activates the latent subconscious energies and opens up channels within the brain, through which the universe can guide you.” she explained.
I was impressed. Then she asked me what changes I wanted on my face. Though I do not have major complaints with my face, I expressed the desire to have a smoother and more even complexion. Anjana asked me to lie down on the couch. She was going to perform the facelift on me. Soon, she began to murmur some mantras, and at the same time press or touch several points on my head, forehead, cheeks, palms and soles. I felt relaxed. Whether I slept or touched a core within myself I do not know, but I was certainly awakened by the sound of my loud snoring. The session had lasted for 45 minutes according to the clock, but I felt I had zipped through it in nothing less than 15 minutes.

I looked in the mirror and found that I was glowing. The painful swelling had vanished, and my face had been restored to its earlier symmetry! On top of it, my gloom had lifted. I had shifted to the present moment, instead of being dragged down by worries of the future or memories of past. I had made a quantum leap in 45 minutes without actually doing anything! I felt that the universe, which was incapable of showering its gifts on me because of my close-mindedness, was cascading its abundance on me.
Anjana told me that it was simply a glimpse. To reap the full benefit a person usually has to go through a minimum 12 sessions. She said that aging, and dying are basically beliefs that we have been carrying since lifetimes, and which get stored in the cells as they begin to replicate the patterns created by us. The process of Access Energetic Facelift undoes such memories at the cellular level. As the cells begin to believe differently, the body begins to reflect the change.
She advised me to pose questions to my body. “The body responds, replies and gives you the energetic lift which you so badly need,” she said.
“My clients have used it to solve several problems in their life. A lady wanted to look younger, slimmer and better. After she had several sessions with me, she lost a lot of weight, and began to look youthful. This had a drastic effect on her self-esteem. She became happier, and was able to improve her relationship with her husband and other family members. She could accomplish this without resorting to exercises or following strict diets.”
“Does it mean that I can start looking like a 20-something if I wish for it?” I asked.
Anjana replied. “It only means that you will look your best at whichever age you may be in.”
I began to relate with Energetic Facelift much better. What cosmetic surgeries or facials do at the superficial skin or tissue level, Energetic Facelift does at the molecular or cell memory level. The physical changes are a byproduct of the internal energetic lifts a person’s consciousness gets via the process. Once you learn it you can even do it on youself. Freny Palia, a holistic healer and one of Anjana’s many clients, says, “Energetic Facelift does not reverse your age. It only delays the process of aging. You will look much younger than your actual years. One needs to practise it ongoingly to enjoy the rewards. I do it constantly on myself and I am happy to say that I find my skin much more supple and toned as a result.”
If you want to feel powerful, and more in control over the forces of nature acting on your body, then the process of Energetic Facelift can do just that for you. It returns the power to its actual owner, ie You.
