Raindrop Technique derives its name from the art of dripping unadulterated, therapeutic-grade Young Living essential oils onto the body from a height (like rain), so that the oils interact with the physical body as well as the energy field. These oils are then “feathered in” using a spine-tingling technique. This was inspired by the Native American belief that raindrops falling from a height may purify and cleanse the body and spirit. Because the essential oils easily penetrate the skin and muscles, the technique works on deep levels of the body without requiring hard pressure or force. The Young Living® essential oils used most commonly in the technique are Oregano, Thyme, Basil, Cypress, Wintergreen or Birch, Marjoram and Peppermint, and the blends Valor and Aroma Siez. However, other oils may be added or substituted as appropriate and as needed, including oils for supporting emotional balance.
Because of the importance of using only the highest quality essential oils and the correct chemotypes, Raindrop Technique is taught and performed with Young Living Essential Oils. Please do not attempt Raindrop Technique without appropriate training, or with any other brand of essential oils.
D. Gary Young, essential oil researcher and naturopath, developed the Raindrop Technique due to research showing that many forms of spinal misalignment are caused by muscle spasms and inflammation-producing bacteria and viruses that reside along the spine.
Before being given a Raindrop session, a wellness assessment and skin test is given to each client in order to attune the treatment to the individual’s needs.
The 3 Steps of Raindrop Technique:
Raindrop Technique is conducted in silence. Undistracted by sound and talking, the recipient is able to sink into a deep state of relaxation and self-connection. In this receptive state, inner “shifts” may more easily take place.
The first step is very simple, and is an Energy Balancing step. The Young Living Essential Oils' blend of Valor is applied on the feet, and the feet are held. This step may take 5 to 10 minutes. Valor helps to balance the electrical energies in the body and the aura, promoting a deep state of relaxation.
The second step of the Raindrop Technique then uses the Vitaflex Technique, the Ancient Tibetan form of reflexology, in conjunction with various Young Living essential oils. Vitaflex technique originated in Tibet thousands of years ago, long before acupuncture was developed. Unlike reflexology, Vitaflex Technique is designed to send an electrical pulse along the nerve pathways of the body. This pulse reaches areas of the body where there is a break in the electrical circuit caused by toxins, damaged tissues or loss of oxygen.
Vitaflex Technique involves a distinctive movement of the hands and fingers, and sends the receiver into an even deeper state of relaxation as the essential oils combine with the electrical pulses to uplift the body and mind, and release tension, congestion and imbalances.
The third step of Raindrop Technique is where it derives its name. The recipient is positioned face down, and essential oils are dropped onto the back and spine from a height of approximately six inches. This means that the oils are interacting with the body's energy field (its aura) even before they contact the physical body, producing an intensified effect. The oils are applied to the back using a variety of techniques and Vitaflex moves.
