The two core-activity of Goodvibes Company are:
(1)
Providing
wellness technologies at affordable prices;
(2)
Providing
facilities and services for personal healing and development.
1. WELLNESS TECHNOLOGIES
We are constantly looking out for technologies that work with nature as we believe that tremendous wisdom is locked up in the design of nature in all its forms and functions. Such technologies recognise that we are embedded in the biosphere, gaia, the planet – whatever you want to call it – and therefore we share the same fundamental properties and are inextricably linked to its dynamics.
The following are technologies that are currently
available at Goodvibes.
FLOATATION TANK
We are the representatives for Pathfinder Tanks in Brunei Darussalam.
Floatation tanks are ingeniously simple but very effective devices that allow
us to heal (our body tissues and glands to regenerate) and develop our mind and
talents. It essentially frees from the effective of gravity, which saps a large
chunk of our energy and keep our bones, fluids, etc under pressure, thus
allowing our body to regenerate easier, faster and ‘correctly’. Floatation
tanks have been used for over 40 years for sports training and treatment of
injury, treating addictions (smoking, drugs), complimenting medical treatment
and for ‘super learning’.
A Pathfinder tank costs between US$ 15,000 – 30,000 from a basic model to one with audio-visual systems and is programmable.
CRYSTAL SALT LAMPS
Crystal
salts lamps are special in 2 ways as far as wellness is concerned. It
vibrates with the planet’s natural resonant frequency (Schumann – around 7.8
Hz) and it is a natural ionizer. The combined properties create a
balancing-calming-harmonising effect from the vibration and a cleansing-healing
effect from the negative ions generated. The range of their effects depends on
the size of the lamps; larger lamps being more powerful. Additionally, they
look really good – elegant and stylish – and they create great ambience for
social activity, work or just feeling good.
Salt crystal lamps are expensive! They cost around
US$60-80 for a smallish 3 kg lamp. Well, we believe that more people should
able to get use things that are good for health and wellness. And so, Goodvibes
crystal salt lamps
are about 3-4 times cheaper than market prices from lamps of 3-9 kg sizes.
These are good for office desks, bedrooms, sitting rooms and other rooms up to
10 sq. m. Our larger lamps (12-50 kg) are for large social spaces (restaurants,
clubs, spas, large dinning or family rooms, office foyer, etc.). They are art
pieces with healing-balancing powers. Costs range from USD 150-1,000.
We also sell candleholders (Pic1, Pic2) for as low as US$
12.
CRYSTAL SALTS PRODUCTS
Crystal salts have tremendous healing properties
when consumed in foods, as sole (pronounced ‘so-lay’) or used in baths.

table salt. US$ 10 per 1 kg
Crystals for Sole Therapy. US$ 16 per 1 kg

2. GOODVIBES SERVICES
Our services may be group under four categories:
1. Floatation Therapy or R.E.S.T
2. Mind-Body Care & Performance
3. Human Resource Enhancement (HRE) Services
4. Providing Healing or Inspirational Places
1. FLOATATION THERAPY
Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy (REST) involves floating on a
10-inches deep pool of (Epsom) salt water inside a floatation tank for around
an hour. Music and a video is usually played during the first 10-20 minutes of
the session to aid in the ‘letting go’ process. This is highly recommended for
first-time floaters. After that, lights, sound and video are switched off. You
will feel like you are floating in space – weightless and in total darkness.
You will become aware of your heartbeat and breathing, as your awareness turns
inward. After about 30-40 minutes, you will be in a deeply relaxed state, and
will be very open to learning. In this period, you may wish to use learning
tapes (audio or video), or simply visualize your desired goals. Of course you can
also just chill out completely and forget about everything. Your body
(including the brain) knows what it needs, so just let go and let yourself
plunge into deep sleep or simply drift away.
REST accelerates your body’s regeneration, because
around 90% of your mental energy that is normally occupied in dealing with
gravity and sensing the environment is released during floating. Consequently,
muscles and tissues regenerate faster, and bodily circulation and distribution
of materials, heat and so on tend towards their ‘original’ (unstressed)
conditions. Note: the removal of the physical stresses caused by environmental
conditions and gravity also contribute to the accelerated healing.
Floatation therapy is thus a powerful tool to keep
your body ‘young’, i.e. in a healthy state. It was found that floating also
boosts the immune system, lowers blood pressure, relieves back and shoulder
pains, and even improves posture.
REST has been used by many organizations to help release
people from addictions, particularly smoking, and to some extent, drugs.
It is also very useful in sports training or body
building. Muscle regeneration is estimate to active around 36 hours after a
work out. Therefore, doing REST a day- and-a-half after each work out session
would accelerate the body building process. Combining REST with visualization
while in the tank should help you reach your goal faster. The same program is
also used for recovery from sports injuries such as bruises, muscle tear and
joint damage.
Because REST slows the brain state to theta
frequencies (deep relaxation), it makes the floater very receptive to
suggestions. Using learning or training videos around 20-30 minutes into the
session would result in accelerated learning and development.
Floating can be used as a means to maintain wellness,
i.e. keep your body (including brain) in a state of vitality and health, or as
a therapy to heal, learn or develop particular aspects of your mind or body.
Cost: B$ 40.00 per 1-hour session
Note: every fifth float is FREE, meaning
each float is really only B$ 32.00
2. MIND-BODY CARE & PERFORMANCE
We live in a world where time is something that we
are getting very short of. If only there is a “time bank” where we can borrow
time, we would have a less stressful life.
Mind-body care and performance is a service for those
with little time (that’s most of us, right?) but need a quick fix, and do not
wish to pay too much for it.
Using Mind Machines (technical names: light-sound technologies,
audio-visual stimulation devices or sound-light entrainment devices), you can
change your mental state within 10 minutes.
Rather than bringing your frustration, anger,
tiredness, stresses, problems and other negative vibes home to your loved ones,
use a 10 or 15 minute program to completely transform your mental-emotional
state.
We have 2 models of Mind Machine.
The MUSE is mainly used for quick mood change. You
can choose to become relaxed, carefree, refreshed, creative, or energized from
a set of programs. There are also programs for learning, to aid meditation,
help in visualization, and even to induce out-of-body experiences.
The MINDSPA is used more for systematic development
of the brain-mind. We would have to work out a medium-term program (4-8 weeks),
where you use the machine twice or three times a week at 10-30 minutes each
time to reach your goals. The Mindspa has been used successfully to treat
conditions like ADD in children.
Cost: B$ 3.00 per 10 minutes or FREE with
Wellness Package
At Goodvibes, we also have the Osim I-Symphony, an
intelligent massage chair that offers 15-minute pre-set health sessions, manual
sessions or music-synchronized massage. Sure, many massage chairs are a far cry
from getting a massage from a well-trained therapist. But the Osim I-Symphony
is really good. You must try it to know just how good.
Cost: B$ 5.00 per session or FREE with
Wellness Package
Note: One session is usually enough. If you are
feeling really stressed out, then go for a double session. We will charge you
only B$ 9.00 (you get a 10% discount).
Mind Machines can be used to improve mental
performance, e.g. becoming more focused, confident, creative, emotionally more
intelligent, etc.
However, we have other technologies, namely Hemi-Sync
CDs and Paraliminal CDs.
Hemispheric Synchronization (Hemi-Sync)
technology was developed by
the Monroe Institute, one of the leading institutes on mental development and
exploration with 40 years of experience. It effects whole-brain focusing, thus
facilitating mental development through a guided self-programming session.
Meta-music is evocative sounds with hemi-sync frequencies blended in to help
you achieve and sustain synchronized brain activity in both hemispheres of the
brain – an optimal condition for improving human performance.
You basically sit or lie comfortably and listen to
the CD using stereo headphones in a quiet room, away from any distraction. The
sessions last around 30 minutes.
Titles available:
Think Fast (guided session)
Focussed Attention (guided session)
Gaia (meta-music for expanded awareness; use for
self-exploration, meditation) Inner Journey (meta-music to free the
imagination)
Einstein Dream (meta-music for heightening spatial,
numerical intelligence)
Cost: B$ 9.00 per session or FREE with
Wellness Package
Paraliminal technology uses stereo channel to convey
simultaneously guided visualization and affirmation to your right brain and
left brain respectively. Simply
lie back, put on the headset, relax and listen. Sessions lasts around 15
minutes.
Titles available:
Personal Genius
Memory Supercharger
Self Esteem Booster
Cost: B$ 4.00 per session or FREE with
Wellness Package
3. HUMAN RESOURCE ENHANCEMENT
This is a service we provide to organizations. We are
now in the so-called knowledge or information age, engaging in a
knowledge-based or k-economy. Information and knowledge are now the key
resources. The people in the organization are the sources, managers and
creators of information and knowledge. In the k-economy, organizations place
greater emphasis on managing and taking care of their people.
What is important is an organization of happy,
unstressed people who get along with each other. It is a fact that a person
thinks and works better when feeling relaxed and good – the alpha state.
Therefore, in order to get more from its human resource, an organization should
invests in what makes people feel better about themselves, the organization,
and the work that they do. Training is not as important as enhancement in the
knowledge age.
We provide HRE service in 2 forms:
3A Sell
time blocks to organizations to use our facilities
For
example, a company may wish to purchase 10 hours per month to use our floatation
tanks. Employees therefore can use the facility under the company’s quota.
3B Provide
seminars and workshops on self-esteem, emotional intelligence, relaxation,
visualization techniques, and other needs (which we can tailor)
Note: Given
that golf is generally part of corporate culture, we do have a program to help
you develop that perfect swing through floatation therapy and in-tank video
training.
4. HEALING OR INSPIRATIONAL PLACES
At the mind spa, we take great pains to create an
environment that is healing, nurturing and inspiring. Occasionally we conduct
energy healing sessions and do counseling. We also regularly hold musical
events to show case local talents.
If you require a environment that is charged with
positive vibrations for a particular event or for a regular practice, you can
rent out space.
Cost: negotiable, but roughly around B$ 50 per 3 hours inclusive of preparation and clean-up time.
