December, 2001

Hi. My name is Dain Heer, and I would like to share with you the story of what has occurred in my life over the last twelve months. This is a bit of a long read, but you may find it worth it. . . The reason for this writing, as well as its relevance to your life, you can determine after you read it. You may feel it has no relevance to you, your life, or anything about you. However, you may find that it touches a part of you, as living it has touched all parts of me. When you are finished, please feel free to pass this on to someone that might benefit from it.

You may find a bit of yourself in these words. You may realize that it is within your power, your means, and your ability to really have all those things in your life you truly desire that you had given up on long ago. And you may even decide that you are not going to live a limited life any longer. It’s your choice, and a choice either way is just fine.

Let me tell you what my life was like back in November of 2000. I was (and still am, by licensure, if not by practice) a chiropractor. I was practicing in a tiny (and I do mean TINY) office in Santa Barbara, CA. In fact, this office was approximately 150 square feet. Often, I would sit in that office, on the seventh floor of Santa Barbara’s tallest building and literally shake with fear – fear of finances, fear of attempting to build a practice, fear of people knowing how I really felt inside, and fear that I never would have what I really wanted in life and was unable to create (though I had tried over and over). I was only allowed to be in the office 2 1/2 days a week because I was sharing it with another person (in order to save on rent, of course)? Did I mention that I was only charging $25.00 for a visit that would sometimes last almost an hour?

I would sometimes be in my office and just SIT THERE, literally almost paralyzed, by what I would have called fear, but it was even more consuming. I had absolute, total insecurity that would not go away, no matter what I would do. I kept thinking that I was stronger than that. I kept thinking that I should have been able to do something to alter my life for the better, so that I would feel at least O.K. I knew more about personal, emotional, and spiritual growth and transformation than most people I knew or had heard of. I HAD WRITTEN A BOOK ON HOW TO HAVE WHAT YOU’D LIKE IN LIFE USING SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLES, FOR GOODNESS  SAKE! And my life still sucked! I didn’t have the fundamentals that one should have – peace and a knowing that no matter what happens, it will all be O.K. I was very close to giving it all up, in a big way.

It was in the middle of one of those really bad days that I saw an ad that changed my life. It read: ACCESS -  All of life comes to me with ease and joy and glory. Call Shannon. And it had her phone number. That was it. I called and made an appointment with her for a trade. Call it Divine Inspiration; call it insanity; call it grasping for a lifeboat just before the Titanic that was my life made its final shuddering plunge into the abyss; call it whatever the heck you want or need to call it, but that phone call quite literally gave me access to my life, and I have not been able to squeeze myself into the box that used to be my life ever again. I am very grateful.

Shannon came to my little office and offered to do something called the “bars.” She explained that she would be putting her hands on my head for about an hour and that I would feel at the very least as if I had a good massage. At the best, she said my life would be altered. “Yeah, right,” I thought. “You don’t know just how much altering there is to do in my life!” From the moment she put her hands on my head, I had this quiet (and sometimes not-so-quiet) laughter going on. I lay on the table and laughed this childlike laugh for almost an hour. It was the first time in so long that I had a feeling of peace, of everything being right with the world. It was this sweet, expansive peace that I could not describe, nor did I care to. It was as close to feeling like everything was peaceful and O.K., had always been peaceful and O.K. and always would be peaceful and O.K. as I could remember.

Actually, “O.K.” doesn’t begin to describe it, but it gets the point across. I hadn’t felt that much peace in recent memory. This hour spent with someone I had just met literally changed my life. And I don’t say that lightly. I wasn’t aware at the time that many people who have their “bars” done feel a similar sense of peace.

Let me explain a little bit more of where I was coming from, so you’ll have an idea of just what is possible in 12 months. 12 months prior to this, I was living in Carpinteria, CA, with my girlfriend. We were like most couples, I would imagine. People thought that we had the “perfect” relationship. Well, I didn’t know anything better at the time, but our relationship was really not serving either one of us. The fact that we really weren’t happy together was somehow overlooked. We were sharing an apartment, where I used to have trouble coming up with my share of the rent. At that time, it was $500.00, and it was so close to the 101 freeway I could practically feel the semi-trucks driving over my head when they went by. When the rent went up to $550.00, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to pay for it.

Often, after my girlfriend left for work, I would lie in bed and try to muster up the mood, the energy, or even the drive to wake up and get moving. Many mornings, I would just break down in tears. I was AFRAID; I was unhappy. I would pray, and it wouldn’t help. So I listened to motivational tapes. It helped a little. I would use all the tools I had learned in my years of spiritual searching, but none of it had much of a lasting impact. So much of my life was ruled by fear. Every morning I would wake up and make the 15 – 30 minute drive to work along some of the most beautiful coastline in California with a knot in my stomach eating at me that I couldn’t describe to anyone and couldn’t get rid of. Life was NOT fun! I remember feeling so insecure. I felt as if I was the one person that did not belong here in what many others call paradise. I remember looking at the drivers of the other cars I would pass. I thought to myself, “I am the only person that hates himself here. I am the only person that feels as if he doesn’t even deserve to live – let alone live here.” I was feeling so low about myself that I would cry many times on the way to my “office.” I wasn’t enjoying anything very much. And the worst part of that, as I look back now, was that I thought that it was SOMEHOW NORMAL TO FEEL THAT WAY!

That was 12 MONTHS BEFORE writing this. The reason I emphasize that this was 12 months ago is because I CAN’T EVEN BELIEVE IT NOW. I can’t believe that it has been less than a year since I was introduced to the information and people that have changed my life. It is absolutely amazing to me!

Please understand: I have for many years been the one that people looked up to for input, for answers, for advice, or as a role model for their lives. I decided to go to college, and I did it – on my own. I decided to become a doctor, and I did it on my own. I decided to write a book, and I did it once again, on my own. What everyone else didn’t know was how miserable and mostly unhappy I was.

Here I was – a doctor! I was starting my own tiny practice doing something that was as close to something I loved as I had yet found. I had a beautiful, caring girlfriend that was supporting me financially and in many other ways. She had already taken out a loan for me the year before to pay off a credit card debt that was going to be listed as a charge off, and she was in charge of the bills because I was always paying them late (if at all). That meant she got to float the money often times for rent and often got stuck buying food and many other things for us for quite some time. She was doing the bookkeeping for my business so we could save money, and attempting to help me stay motivated, because we shared what we thought was a mutual dream. In addition, she was doing her best to support me emotionally�not an easy task, given my emotional needs at the time. You can imagine what sex between us was like. Let’s just say that there was little joy in it for either of us. It wasn’t fun, and it happened infrequently at best. Here we were, in our sexual peak, before getting married, and we were having sex once a month or less – and not really having very much fun when we did have it. What would it be like if we got married? Eeeeesh!

For so much of my life I have been searching. I have always prayed. I became a “born-again” Christian when I was young. I had long, “meaningful” conversations with friends looking for the answers to life. I did every emotional/spiritual/physical/wacko/out-there/woo-woo thing I could to find the “answer” to my life and what would make it feel good and work well. I have done Tantra, Applied Kinesiology, Total Body Modification, Neuro-Emotional Technique, Soul Memory Discovery work, Reiki, Tony Robbins’ stuff, NLP, and so many other things it would make your head spin. My family and most of my friends always knew that if there were something “alternative” (a.k.a. “weird”) to be done, I would be the one to do it. When I was in chiropractic school, I was told I was on the “lunatic fringe” of chiropractic. And still, with all of these incredible “healing” modalities, my life still sucked! I still had no peace.

The fundamentals and the basics of my life had not changed. I still struggled from day to day for the first 31 years of my life just to keep my emotional head above water. And when I was not in mild depression or unhappiness, I would go into a manic state, which was not maintainable. Each time I would go into that “manic” state, I would think, “Finally. Finally I’ve got it figured out. This time I won’t stop feeling good. This time I won’t let myself feel like crap again. I can do anything from this state. I will really have all those things in life I said I wanted.” And one, two, or three days later, that mild (and sometimes more severe) depression and unhappiness would be back. And I would have to fight back the tears, or worse yet, the nagging unhappiness and the gnawing in the pit of my stomach that told me that something was wrong, though I never knew what it was. But I kept getting the message loud and clear: “Something is wrong with you and your life. You’ll just never find out what it is!”

I thought that when my business was just making enough money, that would be O.K. I thought it would go away then. But it didn’t. There was never enough money. Then I thought that if my relationship with my girlfriend were strong enough and if she were happy enough that the nagging feeling would go away. As a way of showing her how much I loved her, I asked her to marry me, and the nagging got even stronger. It was then that I realized that the foundations upon which I had built my life and my hopes for happiness were not really foundations at all – at least not MY foundations. They were more like a house of cards. In fact, they were much more like someone else’s house of cards, and they were beginning to tumble in a big way.

I felt as if I’d probably never really be happy and never really have all those things in life I said I wanted. Do you have any idea how unbelievably discouraging that is? After the 4000th time of finally feeling “good” (a.k.a. manic) for a day, or an hour or two, and then having it disappear into the unhappiness yet again, I was beyond discouraged. I was fed up beyond belief. In fact, at that point in my life, less than 18 months ago, I was very close to taking my own life. It seemed like such a struggle just to exist, and I was so tired of fighting. This isn’t something that I’ve shared with anyone until now. But I have seen so many people experience this and not talk about it, that I decided I would write it down in the hopes that someone else might benefit from it.

As a result of what happened, I realized that I’m not a quitter. It’s just not in my makeup. I had (and have) the courage to persevere, and the courage to keep looking for answers and to keep finding the information and technology that allowed the illusion and insanity that was my life to be seen for what it was.

I knew so many of the right things to say to let people know how to “handle” the problems in their lives (according to the same old paradigm which really didn’t produce any fundamental change), but inside I didn’t even have the answers to my own “problems.” I was never taught that the purpose of life is to have fun and to enjoy it. I was never told that I didn’t I’d have to spend my whole life worrying about everything and trying vainly to solve problems that weren’t there. For some reason, when I was born, I was not given a copy of the manual I was supposed to get to guide me in making the decisions and asking the questions that would allow me to be happy and successful in life. Unfortunately, I have had to figure out what that book would have said on my own.

If you were to tell this story to the people that knew me, many of them would tell you that you were crazy. I was very good at hiding what was really going on inside from the people that knew me and looked up to me. And quite frankly, I didn’t know for sure that there was anything different as a possibility to live my life. I was doing the best I could with the tools I had available.

And if you were to tell this story to the people that know me now, prepare for them to have you locked up. My life has changed that much.

FIND A BETTER TOOLBOX and USE IT, BUILD A BETTER LIFE

For me, my life really took a turn for the infinitely-better back on January 23rd at about 8:15 in the morning when a man named Gary Douglas walked into my tiny (and I do mean TINY) chiropractic office to trade sessions with me (mostly because I didn’t believe I could afford to pay him for the session I wanted). Gary is the founder of ACCESS. I worked on his body. He worked with me on the subject of money. (A personal favorite.) After his hour-long session with me, I had a peace surrounding money that I had never known before. In fact, the session produced results THAT DAY! I raised my rates THAT DAY and had two new people sign up for care at the higher rate by that afternoon.

But one of the most amazing things happened as I went to work on his body. There are three “levels of care” in the chiropractic technique I was practicing. Gary said his body didn’t respond to level 1 or 2, and that I had to start with level 3 with him. I told him I didn’t know Level 3 very well and he responded, “You know what to do. Just follow the energy.” I didn’t know where it would lead, but I was willing. So I did. For most of that session, I did not do the chiropractic technique as it was taught. I did something else that I didn’t know how to describe and had never done before, simply because I had allowed myself the freedom to “follow the energy.”

Quite frankly, I did not know what had occurred with Gary’s body, because I had no reference points. But he got up off the table with a glazed look in his eyes and said, “That was incredible! You do great work!”

Truthfully, I didn’t believe him, and I thought he was delusional. I didn’t know how to do Level 3! It wasn’t until I worked on Gary for the third time and he got up and told me how incredible the session was that I said to him, “Are you serious? Or are you just trying to make me feel good?” After he assured me that he was serious, I realized that I had talents and abilities I had never even acknowledged, and they had nothing to do with the chiropractic technique I was using. Those sessions with Gary really opened my eyes. Once again, I find myself extremely grateful. And from that point, my life really changed.

The way I determine success in my life now is by looking at how I feel about myself and the amount of peace and joy I have in my life. I tell you that there is NO COMPARISON between now and 12 months ago. I know what it feels like to be at peace. I live my life mostly from a space of joy and know what that’s like. Make no mistake. I am not perfect about that. I have “downer” times, but now they last for a few hours or minutes, instead of days, or weeks, or months, thanks to ACCESS.

I look in the mirror and appreciate and love my body now. Prior to May of this year, I would not take my shirt off in front of anyone that was not a VERY CLOSE friend or family member. Do you know what it is like to touch your body and be grateful for it? Do you know what it is like to look in the mirror and see the body in front of you and love it and appreciate it? Or are you busy always looking at what you would like to change about it? I now look at my body in the mirror and think, “Thank you, beautiful body.” And make no mistake, it is not about the shape, or size, it is about the peaceful relationship I have with my body now. It goes a long way to contributing to the peace in my life. Thanks again to ACCESS. In addition, I have built more muscle, lost more body fat, and eaten more chocolate in the last twelve months than in the 30 years before that – and I have worked out less!

The other benefit of having a peaceful relationship with my body is that sex has become an INCREDIBLE experience. If my including sex in this description is making you uncomfortable, you are not alone. How many of us really enjoy sex and have sex as a great source of FUN in our lives? Do you? I do. I learned it from ACCESS. Most spiritual, emotional “disciplines” never include sex. In fact, sex is excluded from most of anything. Think of the last time you had really GREAT SEX where you felt honored, your partner felt honored, and you both had a lot of FUN (assuming you have had great sex in this lifetime!). Do you remember the glow it put on your face? Do you remember how much more open and loving you were with the people around you? That’s what I’m talking about! Imagine having that as a regular part of your life! Did I lose you with that one? Did that just fry your circuits? Do you think that you are so far off that it could never happen? That’s what I used to think. Now imagine walking around with that feeling much of the time. That’s what happens when you access more of you. And please realize, sex is just one expression of it.

The only “spiritual” practice I know of that includes sex is Tantra, which I have practiced. It was great, except that there were so many techniques and significance attached to so many things. Now, sex is an incredible, full-body experience without having to use “techniques” or processes or significance. So suffice it to say that sex now (pardon my Tony the Tiger interpretation) is GGRRRRRRREEEEEAAAAATTTT! If that’s too much information, I apologize.

Another thing that has changed for me is that I share my talents and abilities with people in ways other than chiropractic. With such an incredible set of tools available, do you think I could just go along and not share them with people like you? Of course not! My work has changed entirely! I now do “ACCESS without the words” on people’s bodies and lives. I also facilitate ACCESS classes and clarity evenings. And it is so much fun! I learn from each session I do with people, so it is a constantly-changing, ever-evolving process, as is ACCESS itself. I am no longer confined to a box. What about you? Are you stagnating in what you are doing? Do you have fun doing it? I know I did not have fun most of the time doing chiropractic. But I really do now. In fact, two weeks before I met Gary, I was in my office and decided that I had enough. I decided that I was going to do something else, something FUN! I was going to go into financial planning. Can you imagine???!!!! Thank goodness for ACCESS, because financial planning would NOT have been fun.

And as for the relationship I spoke of earlier, it has changed. We separated, and it has been the most empowering step either of us could have taken. It is the FIRST TIME in my life, since dating age, that I have not had a relationship. It is the first time in all those years that I have been learning about me. And it has been a lot of fun. How does it get any better than this?

And what about money? Well, I now live in my own apartment where I pay almost triple the rent I was paying six months ago while living with my girlfriend, and it is no problem. In fact, money is not a problem. It is not significant anymore. I now have savings for the first time in my life, and that feels good. And instead of living across from the freeway, I now live across from a beautiful park. What about you? Is money an issue for you? Would you like to have more peace with it? Believe me, 12 months ago, I NEVER thought I would ever be able to say that money is not a problem. Thanks again to ACCESS.

ACCESS is not about religion or dogma. It’s not about anything you have to believe. It’s about you. It’s about you claiming you and releasing the stuff that makes being you a difficulty or impossibility. Gary said that ACCESS was the weirdest stuff anywhere, and he was right. He explained that it works by asking the energy of whatever is stuck to go to the Point of Creation of the Thought, Feeling, or Emotion Immediately Preceding your decision to take it on by using the acronym POCTFEIP. Sounds weird, but it works! It has produced such remarkable alterations in my life that I am now sharing it with you. The rest, as they say is now history.

It’s the weirdest thing I have ever found, and it is the most fun I have ever had. It’s that simple. People in ACCESS use a saying: “All of life comes to me with ease, and joy, and glory.” (Glory is exuberant expression and abundance.) And I must say that from my experience, I have about 200,000% more ease, joy, and glory in my life now than before I started using ACCESS. O.K. perhaps I was wrong about that 200,000%. It’s probably more like 300,000%. There. That’s better.

Make no mistake; this is not intended to be a “miracle cure.” It is not for people who just want to have more tricks to impress their friends. It is not for people who want just one more excuse for why their lives will not work, because WHAT YOU GET OUT OF ACCESS IS UP TO YOU. It produced literal miracles for me, but that’s exactly what I desired and was ready for and what my life had to have. Where else in the world would I have gotten such change in 12 months? Nowhere. I literally tried so much of everything else, and it worked only for a short time. I would go to weekend seminars and feel so absolutely incredible for about three days after. And then whatever I had worked on would be back. For me, ACCESS provided the only thing I have yet found which actually produced results that continue to increase and improve.

People have used it to change their bodies, their relationships, their currency flows, their sex lives (and let me tell you, I am living proof: that part of it WORKS!) and more. Quite simply, for me, I have used it to alter my entire life, and I would love to share it with you. If you’d like to hear more about it, please give me a call.

Take this opportunity to access your infinite potential. Allow yourself to claim all of you (perhaps for the first time in your life). It may not be a miracle; it may take you some time; but how much time would you take to have your life be more ease, joy, and glory? And, how could it get any more fun than this?

I was asked recently if I would take a million dollars cash, tax-free, to go back to where I was twelve months ago. My instant reply was “No way!” Then the ante was “upped” to ten million cash, tax-free. My reply again was “No way!” Imagine valuing the changes you had gotten from anything that much. I guess it is true, there is no price to be placed on happiness (and peace). It’s such a relief to know that I can never go “back” to where I was 12 months ago. In fact, I keep going forward quickly.

You deserve to enjoy ALL of your life and to have it all come to you with ease, joy, and glory. So what are you waiting for? How much more fun could your life be in the next 12 MONTHS? Consider this an invitation to the life that you always knew could exist, but never knew how to make it happen. The only question is whether or not you have the courage and the willingness to have the life you have always said you wanted.

If it feels right to you, give me or another ACCESS practitioner a call. You can decide if ACCESS would benefit you. Your life, after all, is up to only one person–YOU.

Yours in fun, ease, joy, and glory,
Dain
