What is the Raindrop Technique?

 

This mind body technique involves applying therapeutic grade essential oils to the spine, neck and feet. The session lasts about an hour however the benefits may last up to a week or more.

 

Gary Young, founder and president of Young Living Oils, found that combining several holistic techniques, described below, created a synergistic effect for the body. The three modalities that combine to form Raindrop Technique are:

• Aromatherapy – Raindrop technique uses seven single essential oils, two blends and one essential oil massage blend during the session.

 

• Vita Flex Technique – Vita Flex was brought to the US in the 1920s by Stanley Burroughs. It is an ancient Tibetan healing methodology meaning “vitality through the reflexes”. Its theory is based on the fact that slight pressure applied to the feet creates an electric charge that is therapeutic to the body.

 

• Feather Stroking – this technique was actually termed by the Native American Indians. In the ‘80’s Gary worked with a Lakota elder named Wallace Black Elk and learned they created a technique to stimulate the healing energy by stroking a feather alone the spine.

 

How does Raindrop get its name?

Essential oils are actually dropped from about 6 inches above your spine, simulating raindrops! It is very relaxing and comforting. It is thought that the oils interact with a person’s electric field before even penetrating the skin of the back. Thereby, enhancing the electromagnetic properties of the oils as well.  Amazing!

 

What are the benefits of Raindrop?
There are numerous benefits of the Raindrop Technique, here are just a few:

The combination of techniques brings electrical and structural alignment to the body. The essential oil blend of Valor helps the body align and is often referred to as “chiropractor in the bottle.”

• Non-Manipulative Technique

No manipulation as in chiropractic is performed. The oils help support the body to come back into balance by opening energy flow throughout the body.

Also because the Raindrop Technique encourages detoxification of the body, some may experience some mild side effects or what is known as a Healing Detoxification. These mild symptoms may include headache, sinus drainage or emotional release such as crying. The best advice is to drink plenty of water before and after a session to help your body hydrate and flush.  See more about Healing Detoxification here.  While some may experience detoxification, others may feel relaxed, have heightened awareness or be energized. It really depends on the individual.
