I’m so excited about this week’s bulletin. It’s a topic very close to my heart….and that’s Raindrop Technique.

This extraordinary modality was created by the founder of Young Living, D. Gary Young. Gary saw the different steps in a dream, and put it together into a sequence that we use to this day. Yes, it’s evolved over the years, yet the oils and core techniques remain the same.

It incorporates Ancient Egyptian and Native American energy principles, VitaFlex Technique (which is an Ancient Tibetan form of reflexology), 9 of Young Living’s therapeutic-grade essential oils with all of their benefits, and Western massage.

I learned Raindrop Technique for the first time in 1999. At the time I thought it was a really unique technique. It’s like that mythical creature that has the neck of a giraffe, the tail of a tiger, the trunk of an elephant and the body of a bull. Yet when it’s all put together, it just works.

Raindrop Technique is a master technique, able to impact us physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

Then I received the gift of a lifetime. Young Living sponsored me to travel to Dallas to attend Gary Young’s 4 day Raindrop Technique training in January 2000. OMG!!!

There were 1,100 people in the room who had travelled from all over the world. There was Gary demonstrating Raindrop Technique while a video of Gary’s hands was projected onto 2 large cinema screens. I was scribbling notes as fast as I could, to capture all the wonderful information that he shared.

Since then, Raindrop Technique has become a big part of my life. Because I just love seeing the amazing results it brings to people and to animals, I have been teaching it (and offering private sessions) since 2001. I even went to Ecuador in 2007 and trained again with Gary as a Raindrop Technique instructor. And of course I love receiving it whenever I can. But even if you are not a Raindrop Technique practitioner, there are still many ways you can use your Raindrop oils (and Raindrop Kit) in your daily life. This is part 1 of a 2 part bulletin (part 2 will come out in January). Scroll down and enjoy!

Why invest in a Raindrop Kit if I’m not a practitioner?

The answer is soooooo easy! You don’t need to be a Raindrop Technique practitioner to get amazing value from this kit, for yourself and your human and animal family.

Don’t get me wrong. A full Raindrop Technique is absolutely out of this world. It not only uses the essential oils, but it incorporates very specific massage steps to work different muscle groups along the spine. This helps to release those muscles that are holding the spine rigid, allowing your spine to become more supple and for energy to flow along the nerves and blood vessels and out to the various organs the way it’s meant to. So it really is a whole body tune-up.

And of course it incorporates VitaFlex Technique along the spine of the foot, which is an ancient Tibetan form of reflexology. This technique is incredible for the spine. I remember Gary once teaching that doing VitaFlex correctly along the spine of the foot is amazing for addressing scoliosis….even more so than the massage steps along the back. In fact, Gary went on to say that 70% of any improvement in scoliosis from the bodywork used in Raindrop Technique can be directly attributed to the VitaFlex moves on the feet. Wow!

So it’s no wonder that Raindrop Technique is in fact one of my two favourite modalities to give and receive (the other being Egyptian Emotional Clearing Technique).

But I love that even someone who is not trained in Raindrop Technique can use Young Living’s Raindrop Kit and have an amazing experience with it. Here are some of the many ways that can happen…

Kitty, Doggy and Kiddy Raindrop

I love this concept. Simply take a tablespoon of V6 Massage Oil (which comes with your Raindrop Technique kit). Into that tablespoon add every single Raindrop oil from your kit, ie. Valor, Oregano, Thyme, Basil, Cypress, Wintergreen, Marjoram, AromaSiez and Peppermint. Then just take a portion of that mix, and massage it up the spine of the person or animal you are working on. Here’s a guide to the quantities you would use:

Reptiles are very sensitive to essential oils, so I’ve not personally used this on reptiles. I do have another protocol that is safe for reptiles, which I’ve used successfully. Please contact me if you’d like more information.
