The Art of Healing

Using Sound and Color Therapy

This Spring, Acupuncture on Main will be adding a new service that uses the synergistic combination of sound and color therapy for pain relief and emotional/physical balancing. They will be introducing the Pyradym sound healing device.

One of only 50 in the world, the Pyradym is a self-contained electrically-powered apparatus designed to stimulate and facilitate the human body’s innate self-healing mechanisms. “It generates a relaxing stereophonic sound that you listen to through a set of headphones while receiving acupuncture, and along with that sound is the associated physical vibration,” explains owner Traci Bredenkamp.

“It uses the 7–tone Chakra system as a universally accepted tuning ‘platform,’ so conceptually it’s tuned differently than a musical instrument. It also differs by focusing the intention of the sound generated by the instrument, and directly relates it to the human body. People can easily and readily relate with what sound and vibration associates to which body region, so it takes to a whole different level the concept of using sound to address the human body as a unified energetic system.”

According to its inventor, August Worley, the Pyradym distinguishes sound from music. Music is sound, but sound is not necessarily music. Pyradym creates “pure sound.” The intention of this instrument is to function as a healing instrument, not as the musical instrument itself. It incorporates full spectrum brain entrainment techniques using light as well as sound, something musical instruments or other sound therapy devices don’t do, and at the same time provides a physioacoustic stimulation designed to resonate the human body.

“The Pyradym is excellent for stress,” adds Traci. “Clients regularly report feeling less anxious and happier. Pyradym has also shown an ability to relieve migraines, cramps, and joint pain. Some of my clients have reported dramatic increases in their sense of well-being, a greater sense of clarity of their inner voice. Pyradym is great because it helps to quiet that mind chatter and enable you to alter your consciousness and really ‘go deep.’ Sound can penetrate mass, organize matter, regulate the body’s functioning – all at the cellular level.

“Pyradym can be used as a general way to stimulate and facilitate the human body’s natural self-healing process, which is by nature a much more profound and perfect way to address the complicated systems within our bodies.”
