The Raindrop Technique:
this article, copyright, Neva J. Howell

I fell in love with the Raindrop Technique years ago, when I was a distributor for Young Living Essential Oils. It is delicious, luxurious and potently healing process that utilizes essential oils applied along the spine, along with a specific type of stroke called Vita-Flex.

I left Young Living and all other mlm-structured businesses years ago but still love their essential oils, particularly the Valor blend.

The particular essential oils chosen for application during the Raindrop Technique are potently perfect for creating a powerful healing effect. Their combined properties pack a powerful antiviral and antibacterial punch while also relaxing muscles and delighting the senses.

Essential Oils used in the Raindrop Technique:
A lot of the oils used will be familiar to massage therapists and aromatherapists, like thyme, oregano, basil, marjoram, peppermint, cypress and wintergreen. Others are specific to the Young Living line of essential oils, such as Valor and AromaSeiz.

How a Raindrop Technique is done:
There are variations to this technique, as there usually are with most techniques in body care. I am just sharing a bit of information for those who might be interested in experiencing the Raindrop Technique.

To begin with, the Valor E.O. Blend (this is a blend exclusive to Young Living and I do love it though I don't love the mlm structure it is sold under) on both feet and on both shoulders. These points are held and this part of the technique is extremely relaxing for most people.

Then, one by one 5 to 6 drops of the other essential oils are dropped along the spine. With each oil that is dropped and smoothed along the spinal column, there is a series of Vita-Flex movements that follow. This enjoyable and feather-light stroke involves contact between the spinal area and the finger nails as they lightly move up the spine.

I love the way the Vita-Flex stroke feels but it is also very different from any type of massage therapy that you might be used to getting so it kinda has to be experienced.

I tried to find a video on youtube or elsewhere that might show the technique the way I learned it, and the way it is taught in the PDR for Essential Oils. I couldn't find one that followed the guidelines closely enough to recommend.

If you want to learn more about giving the Raindrop Technique, getting a session is a good way to start, as is taking a class.

Keep in mind, if taking a class, that the oils are usually not included and buying them may be a bigger investment than the class itself. Expect to spend around a hundred dollars for the Raindrop Technique kit. Contact me if you are interested in learning the Raindrop Technique.

You may also order the PDR for Essential oils book but frankly, I'd have a hard time figuring it out just from the written word. It helps a lot to actually experience it and to see how it's done. I think you may actually have to order this book through Young Living. Couldn't find it online and I got mine when I was a distributor, before I gave up on mlm.
