Features & Operation
This section will help familiarize you with the various easy-to-use features. For further
advice, or if you have any difficulties using MindSpa, refer to the Frequently Asked
Questions section at the end of the manual.
Session Mode
The current session is displayed when the unit is turned on. To choose a different
session, press the up or down buttons located on the left front of the unit. When
you find the session you want press the Start / Stop / Pause button to begin.
Note: Hold either button down for one second to automatically run through the
different sessions, volume, or light intensity settings.
Countdown Timer
Once you press the Start/Stop/Pause button the display will begin a ten second
countdown. This provides time to comfortably position yourself. You may override
the ten second countdown by pressing the button a second time. This will cause
the session to begin immediately.
Time Remaining Display
When the session begins the display will show the minutes and seconds remaining.
A small arrow on the display will indicate the session is active.
Pause / Stop
To pause during a session, briefly press the Start/Stop/Pause button. To continue
the session, press the button again. You may stop a session by holding the button
down for two seconds, or by simply turning the unit off.
Light and Volume Settings
The light and volume controls may be adjusted from a setting of 1 – 16. A small
headphone or glasses logo will be displayed with the current setting. Start by setting
to brightness and volume levels at a low, comfortable level. Adjust to slightly higher
levels when bright light or outside noise is present. We recommend beginning with
level 8 to 10 and gradually increase or decrease as you become more familiar
with the unit.

Gentle On / Off
Each session begins and ends gradually. This feature allows the volume and
light intensity to gently increase and decrease over several seconds to improve
personal comfort level.
Visual Stimulation Glasses
For best results use with your eyes closed in low ambient light conditions.
Treat the Visual Stimulation lenses with care as they will damage if abused or
mishandled. On occasion, gently clean the glasses with a clean, soft, slightly
damp cloth. The arms on the visual stimulation glasses are adjustable. To adjust:
hold firmly by the inner arm and gently pull or push. Adjust so they fit comfortably
close to your face. If necessary, periodically lightly tighten the arm screws.
Sound
The MindSpa sessions utilize specific tones to help enter the proper mind state.
Always use the headphones provided with your unit, or other good quality
headphones set at low to moderate levels.
Battery Saving Auto-Off Feature
To preserve batteries, the unit will automatically turn itself off when it sits idle for
five minutes. To reset, return the On/Off switch to the Off position and then back
to the On position. The last session will be displayed. When the batteries run low,
a small battery icon will appear in the display indicating it is time to replace the
batteries; otherwise you may begin to experience erratic operation.
Auxiliary Input
You can enhance the effect of your sessions at times by playing special music
or spoken tapes and compact discs designed for relaxation or learning along with
the sessions. When working in combination with recorded material, you may play
the tone slightly above or at the same level as the recorded material you are
listening to. Both should be kept at a moderate level.
Plug the audio patch cord into the auxiliary jack, located on the lower right-hand
side. Plug the other end into your compact disc player or cassette headphone
output jack. Set the volume at a low to mid-range level and start the player
when you begin your session. Once you begin, the Aux In symbol
will be displayed.

AudioStrobe is a patented technology developed in Germany. AudioStrobe
synchronizes precisely timed pulses of light with music for a unique sensory
experience. When specially encoded compact discs are played through MindSpa,
the AudioStrobe circuit converts the encoded digital signals into light pulses.
These digital signals are recorded above the range of normal hearing so full recording
fidelity is maintained.
To use the AudioStrobe mode: Place an AudioStrobe encoded disc in your
CD player. Then attach one end of the patch cord, included with MindSpa, to the
headphone output of your CD player. The other end goes into the auxiliary jack.
Press and hold the Backlight button for approximately two seconds until the letters
"AS" are displayed. This indicates MindSpa is now in AudioStrobe mode.
1. Begin by setting your CD player volume to about ¾ of maximum.
2. Disable bass boost if your player has this feature.
3. Light adjustments are made via the light intensity setting. Start it at level 12 or above.
4. When the program has started, adjust the volume setting to a comfortable level.

Now, also practice muscle awareness exercises by relaxing your facial muscles
your limbs and your back. Start at the top and work down through every part of
your body. As you breathe for relaxation, pay attention to your body and become
aware of any tension you feel, then just let go of it. Allow your mind to drift away
from any concerns or anxiety you feel at the moment.
Introduction to Programs
The MindSpa Performance Development System by A/V Stim is designed to help
adults and children to sharpen and improve mental performance.
The seven proprietary programs in MindSpa, developed by leading clinical therapist
Ruth Olmstead employ precise frequencies of flickering lights, coupled with specific
rhythms. The pleasant sensory input has been found to help you begin to gain
desired results in a few sessions.
How to gain maximum benefit from the MindSpa
Use as instructed and develop a regular routine. Find a comfortable sitting or
reclining position. Use your MindSpa in a quite place where you will not be disturbed.
Set the volume low enough just to be comfortably heard. Set the light intensity at
a level that is bright but comfortable for you. As you enter each session, allow the
thoughts in your mind to float freely. This is a special time for deep relaxation.
After the first few minutes you will begin to feel yourself entering a calm, focused
state of awareness. Just let go! It is natural to drift into a light sleep as this is part
of the MindSpa process.
You may optionally use relaxing music with your session. You may connect it through
the unit via the auxiliary input, or directly into your tape or CD player, bypassing the
unit. Learning, self-help and visualization programs are also an excellent addition to
your sessions. Contact your distributor or visit our website,
www.avstim.com for more information.
When you begin your sessions, learn to breathe deeply for relaxation and tension
reduction through your diaphragm. To practice this method, place your hand on
your stomach, it should move up and down while you chest remains relatively still.
Breathe in slowly and deeply then hold for a count of three, and breathe out slowly
and completely, after a few moments begin the process again. With practice your
rhythmic breathing will become an automatic response.

The technology of auditory and visual stimulation is expanding. New information
becomes available on a regular basis and can be found on our website at
www.avstim.com. Please visit us for additional information and useful links.
About auditory and visual stimulation
Auditory and visual stimulation (AVS) is a fairly recently developed method of mind
stimulation and training that has evolved from the study and use of biofeedback,
a training procedure that can enable a person to alter physiological responses to
induce a desired state of mind.
How AVS technology is applied
Auditory and visual stimulation is introduced primarily through the optic nerve and
ears by means of computerized technology. This technology is applied to the individual
through the use of specially designed glasses inset with light-emitting diodes (LEDs)
set at specific angles and distances from the eye to optimize desired effect. These
lights flash at predetermined frequencies, and are coupled with specific tones that
are received through headphones.
The light emitting from the glasses and rate of the flicker introduced by way of the
optic nerve causes the mind to match the set rate of flickering, depending on the
preferred outcome, to a desired frequency. The induction method by which this
occurs is known as Frequency Following Response (FFR). Unlike biofeedback,
where the object is for the user to deliberately try to calm or train mental activity,
passive AVS inducement occurs directly to the mind without the conscious
effort of the user.
Type of results AVS offers
The induction into higher states has been found to increase mental activity, while the
induction of lower states has been found to reduce mental activity, feelings of anxiety
or stress, and promote deep relaxation. A faster mental state induced by faster
flickering of the LED lights is theorized to provide enhanced mental activity
which can result in cognitive improvement.

Program 1 is a short visually pleasing program for a quick mental pick up.
Program 2 can help to improve ability to remain in a more relaxed state
during times of stress.
Program 3 can help to increase attention and the ability to remain focused.
Program 4 can help to improve the ability to perform cognitive tasks, and is also
helpful for enhancing creative output. This program may also be useful for any
performance-related task including athletic competition, intense work requiring high
mental capacity, or complex activities that require superior mental concentration.
Program 5 is designed to raise overall performance levels. This program may be
very useful for improving mental sharpness for many high performance-related
tasks. This program may also improve the symptoms of mental lethargy and fatigue
that occur for example, on long transoceanic flights, or when high energy levels
need to be maintained.
Program Use and Description
The programs are designed to be used with eyes closed. These programs have been
tested in clinical settings and are safe for use by adults and children who have no
history of epilepsy. We recommend the programs only be used by children under
adult supervision. (See our cautions at the beginning of the manual.)
We suggest you first experience MindSpa by starting with Program 1 on two or three
occasions over the first few days. Brightness is important, so adjust the light stimulation
so that it remains comfortable. If your eyes become uncomfortable caused by light
intensity or brightness, simply reduce the light intensity slightly. The volume may be
set at a low to moderate level provided it is overriding external noise in the room.
Program Purpose - A brief overview
Program 1 and 7 are basic sessions, which mean they can be used any time you
desire deep rest and relaxation or want to feel more energized and motivated.
Programs 2 through 6 are to be used as recommended. For optimal results
we suggest that you follow our instructions.
First, decide what benefits you would like to achieve. Though you may want to
accomplish several objectives, choose one goal first and focus on gaining the
desired benefits, then move on to the next goal. Here is a brief overview of the
program purposes.

12
For overall performance development, use the programs in numerical order. After
using Program 1 comfortably, advance to Program 2. Use for four weeks, two times
per week, then graduate through each successive program (3 - 6) resulting in a
twenty week process. You should begin to experience subtle but noticeable mental
performance improvements within the first few weeks. In approximately three to four
months you will notice improvements in overall clarity and sharpness. We will make
additional information on the programs available on our website, www.avstim.com.
Program 6 is an advanced program recommend for use after a minimum of three
to six weeks of regular use of the previous programs. This program may be very
helpful in improving problem solving abilities and gaining greater overall awareness.
More about its use is explained in the Program Description section of the manual.
Program 7 is a relaxation program for use when you simply desire a deep state
of rest, resulting in total mind / body revitalization. This program can be used at
various times, such as in the evening to help reduce mental activity, as it may
allow for a deep and restful night’s sleep.
How to use the MindSpa Performance Development Programs
There are two processes we recommend. Both processes can be equally effective.
Process I
Always try to use MindSpa in a in a quiet location free of interruption and distraction.
We suggest that you decide on a single goal for yourself and/or your child. During the
next four weeks, utilize one of the programs (Programs 2 through 5 are recommended)
twice per week. As with physical exercise, the mind may also benefit in taking a day
between programs. Doing more programs may not increase or accelerate the
final outcome.
These programs are designed to optimize overall performance in four week
increments. Upon completion of the four week period, you may then graduate on to
your next goal. Optionally, if you have a single goal, such as improving and enhancing
a state of deep relaxation, you may continue use of the same program on a regular
basis for additional reinforcement.
Process II

13
This performance enhancement program is designed to stimulate ongoing mental
activity. It is also very useful in overcoming feelings of mental lethargy such as
common during or after long transoceanic flights. If you change several time zones,
we recommend use upon or shortly after arrival at your destination. However, do not
use prior to retiring as it may be over-stimulating. It is also useful for any performance-
related task including athletic competition.
Program Description
Program 1 Recharge 10 minutes
MindSpa is a unique experience unlike anything an you may have experienced before.
This short program is an excellent demonstration program. It provides relaxing visuals
with many users reporting a variety of interesting, soothing colors and patterns,
feelings of relaxation and revitalization after using this program. While designed
as an introductory program, it may be helpful for daily use for mental recharging.
Program 2 Relaxation 22 minutes
Feelings of anxiety may be related to an overactive mind. Regular use of this program
over a period of time may allow your mind to better absorb and assimilate daily routine
stress-inducing activities such as pressures commonly found at home, work or school.
For most users, after experiencing Program 1 for the first few days, we recommend
graduating to Program 2. Use on a regular basis twice or up to three times per week
for four weeks to obtain optimal benefit.
Program 3 Attention / Focus 21 minutes
This program is especially effective for children and adults who are experiencing
difficulties remaining on task. Many users report noticeable improvements in
performance after two to three weeks of use. This program may continue to be
used past the recommended four week period to maintain focus and concentration.
This program is also excellent as an athletic performance booster by assisting in
removing outside distraction during sports activities.
Program 4 Cognitive Enhancement 22 minutes
This program is an excellent follow-up to Program 3. Use it to strengthen and reinforce
mental capacity. It is ideal for helping in mental tasks of all kinds or complex activities
or professions that require superior mental concentration. Use this program for four
weeks twice per week for optimal benefit. You may continue to use it on a regular
basis thereafter.
Program 5 Motivation 22 minutes

14
• Treat the MindSpa with the care it deserves and it will reward you with a virtually
unlimited, trouble-free life.
• Avoid using the MindSpa in unusually wet, dusty, or dirty environments.
• Keep the control unit and Visual Stimulation glasses away from excessive moisture.
If you get them wet, do not turn on the unit. This could cause permanent damage
to the circuitry. Instead, immediately remove the battery cover and the batteries.
Allow the unit sufficient time to completely dry out before trying to use it.
This may help prevent damage.
• Do not leave MindSpa components exposed to direct sunlight for an extended
period of time, or inside a closed automobile on hot days.
• Remove the batteries if you are not using the unit for extended periods.
• Plug and unplug all connectors by the lead ends. Do not pull out the connectors
by tugging on the wires; this may result in damage to the wire or unit and will void
your manufacturer’s limited warranty.
This is a good program to help heighten and improve resistance to mental stress.
This program can be used in conjunction with any of the other programs for added
benefits, as it is designed to gradually slow down mental activity after a long day
and to allow for a more restful night sleep and to wake up feeling revitalized.
Program 6 Integration 22 minutes
To gain maximum benefit from this program we recommend beginning use after
completing at least two of the four programs listed above. For most this will be after
a minimum of two to four months of regular use. Program 6 will help improve total
mind/body integration. Possible benefits are enhanced visual-motor skills, left/right
mind/body assimilation. Use this program twice per week for four or more weeks
when you are in a quiet, relaxed state. After completion, continue to use any of
the programs twice per week to reinforce long-term benefits.
Program 7 Rest / Rejuvenation 35 minutes
Additional Advice for Care and Use

15
Q.: How can I learn more about AVS?
A.: Please visit our website, www.avstim.com or email your questions to us at
[email protected].
Frequently Asked Questions
Q.: Nothing happens when the unit is switched on.
A.: Turn the unit on again. If the unit does not function, check to make sure the batteries are
inserted properly. If the unit still does not function, try replacing the batteries with fresh
AAA alkaline cells and try again.
Q.: The lights or the sound are not functioning properly.
A.: Check to make sure the jacks are fully plugged into the unit. On occasion, a new jack
can be a little stiff at first use and require a little extra push. Also, check to make sure
you have each accessory plugged into the correct jack. Please note that the end of
the light jack is color coded.
Q.: The battery symbol is displayed and the unit stopped functioning or is the display
is dim or the unit seems to be malfunctioning.
A.: This indicates the batteries have reached the end of their useful life.
Replace your batteries with fresh AAA alkaline cells.
Q.: There is a loud clicking sound in the headphones.
A.: Check to make certain the headphones are plugged into the correct jack.
Q.: Can I suffer any harm if I open my eyes during a session?
A.: No, there is no harm in opening your eyes while the lights are flickering. The total
brightness relative to even a small flashlight is quite low and there is no radiation output.
Q.: Why do my eyelids flicker with the lights?
A.: Your nervous system is responding to light levels that are too high. Reduce the
brightness of the lights so that they are at a more comfortable setting for you.
Q.: How often should I use the MindSpa?
A.: The key to the best results is regular use. Follow as directed. Just as with physical
exercise, give your mind time to revitalize. Take a little time off between sessions to
gain maximum benefit. Expect to experience optimum results after several weeks of
regular use.
Q.: What is the best way to sit during a session?
A.: Place yourself in a comfortable position and allow yourself a few moments to settle
in before beginning a session. Keep your legs and arms uncrossed; sitting in an open
position will help to reduce muscle tension.
Q.: May I lie down and what happens if I fall asleep?
A.: You may assume any position you find comfortable. Maximum benefit is gained by
remaining in a relaxed, yet aware state. Benefits are still gained when you fall into
a light sleep state. Sometimes a deep state of relaxation feels like you are asleep.
If you find you wake up at the end of session, you were not actually asleep but in
a very deep, calm state.
