Colorpuncture

At Goddess Retreats, we believe in the transformative power of holistic healing. One of our most profound therapies, Colourpuncture, offers immediate relief by harmonizing your body, mind, and soul. This unique modality balances the hormones of the Endocrine System while the Lymphatic System undertakes the essential cleansing and detoxification process known as Conflict Resolution.

During your session, skilled colourpuncture practitioners, Nengah and Henry, will apply Colourpuncture using illuminated laser-tipped crystal rods instead of needles. These rods, developed by the Mandel Institute of Esogetic Medicine in Germany and crafted by Swarovski, emit specific color frequencies for targeted healing.

The rods are gently placed on acupuncture points on your skin, providing a soothing experience that releases deep-seated traumas from various stages of life, including prenatal, karmic, childhood, and adolescent conflicts. This therapy helps address and heal the hidden emotional wounds that often remain unresolved.

The outcome is a sense of liberation and renewal. Many of our guests report relief from allergies, migraines, and general feelings of malaise. They leave with a renewed zest for life, dynamism, and enthusiasm.

Sound Bath Healing & Ubud Palace Tour

Travel to the Pyramids of Chi. Built to the scale of the Giza Pyramids in Egypt, they are the combination of ancient sounds, sacred design, magnetic positioning and water surrounds, resulting in a rewarding healing & relaxing experience. Located in Balinese village of Bentuyung, 3 kilometres north from the centre of Ubud. The Pyramids of Chi are floating on water, surrounded by rice fields. This area was the location of the film ‘Eat, Pray, Love’. T two large pyramids of the Moon and Sun are built so you may discover complete relaxation and awareness of inner-self through the ancient sounds inside these healing structures. Sound healing is known to reduce ‘beta-wave’ brain waves and increase the ‘theta-waves’ within the brain. This means that the vibrations from the sounds can help boost the immune system, relax the sleeping patterns and put you into deep meditative relaxation. The frequencies generated from the ancient instruments played in the pyramids, such as the enormous gongs, large pow wow drum, Himalayan bowls or the very emotive didgeridoo have healing effects and relaxing results. Sound has long been recognised as a method for healing, and is often one of the most successful ways to rebalance and harmonize inner health.

Traditional Balinese Healing

Bali is famous for its long history of traditional healing therapies, known as Bali Usada. Balinese traditional healing practices use natural herbs and spices, holistic therapies and ancient wisdom to cure physical and mental illness. Traditional healing modalities are prominent in Balinese culture today, which include natural herbal remedies, massages and energy work.. Balians are viewed with the same status and respect as a western doctor and have different specialties to heal specific problems of the body. A balian taksu draws power from nature or spirits and creates medicine from holy water, flowers and plants; while a balian ketakson will communicate with spirits to seek insight into an illness, sometimes going into a trance to heal people. Applying a deeply intuitive, holistic approach, they will consider physical symptoms as well as a patient’s mental and emotional state. Treatment is seen as a journey where the individual’s willingness to heal is an integral part of the process, and may include ritual cleansing ceremonies, herbal potions or inscriptions drawn on the body. During your Balinese Traditional Healing session, you may be given natural medicine, a collection of basic healing herbs made into remedies. Popular Balinese natural medicines are: Loloh – where leaves are crushed and mixed with water to drink and boreh – ground up herbs and roots which are rubbed onto the skin.
