Raindrop Therapy...Aromatherapy's Best Kept Secret

By Shoshana Roller, Reiki Master

Raindrop Therapy (RDT), defined, is a method of using Vita-

Flex, reflexology, massage techniques and nine essential oils

applied to the body to bring it into structural and electrical

alignment. Due to our individuality as human beings, results

from undergoing RDT can range from little to what would appear

as miraculous. The oils are dropped like litle drops of rain

from about six inches above the body...Hence the name.

A massage therapist friend of mine had observed a RDT

demonstration several months ago. A woman with severe scoliosis

was led into a room with about 30 massage therapists present. A

chiropractor drew a line along her spine with a grease pencil to

illustrate the curvature. The woman then received an abbreviated

(about 30 minutes in duration) RDT treatment. Following the treatment,

the woman stood up and another line was drawn along the spine.

According to my friend, the spine was significantly straighter

following the treatment. He said he wouldn't have believed it if he

hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

My own experience with it is a feeling of total relaxation. It

feels like a chiropractic adjustment without the chiropractor. Stress

and tension leaves my neck and shoulders, while my low back pain

totally disappears. It comes back somewhat after about 5 weeks. So, I

would imagine that a series of treatments might be necessary for me to

achieve more lasting results.

One does not need any special training in order to apply RDT.

A person need only study the video tape and read the instructions in

Dr. Young's book, Aromatherapy: The Essential Beginning. People who

are schooled in other healing arts such as Reiki or Massage will find

that these techniques definitely enhance the experience of Raindrop

Therapy. However, it's not necessary. So, I recommend the purchase the

Raindrop Therapy Kit and experiment with it. Teach it to your family

and friends.

I must caution you that sometimes the oils that are high in

phenols may initiate a burning sensation. This may be particularly

true for a young child, elderly person or someone with very fair or

sensitive skin. So, I would probably be very careful to not these use

those oils neet in such cases. In any case, keep a bottle of V-6

Mixing Oil handy for anyone who may feel irritated or too hot. The V-6

will usually cool down the back very quickly.

One thing that I found in my experience is that the intent of

the healer and the client are definitely key factors in the

results. The practitioner, in particular must be really focused

and present. Of course this is applicable for all forms of healing.

Raindrop Therapy is an innovative technique that can be learned by

anyone. However, I am a healer. From this perspective, I am finding

that this is a procedure that can be effectively used by massage

therapists and Reiki practitioners to enhance their practices and be

an addition to the services that they are already offering to their

clients.

It has been brought to my attention by some massage therapists,

that after many years of practice, they, too, are beginning to hurt

physically. So, this is a good technique for massage therapists to use

to bring an added dimension of value to their clients, without the

pain associated with application. By incorporating the procedure into

their practice, it could become a profitable business.

ADDENDUM:

Raindrop Therapy Tips

By Clarity Ann Martin

1. Both the client and the therapist should remove their jewelry.

2. Remember to trim your fingernails prior to doing Vita-Flex

Therapy. Also note that in some states it may be illegal to do

Vita-Flex therapy if you are not a licensed massage

therapist.

3. When working with people who have sensitive skin (such as

young children or elders) it may be preferable to dilute the

following oils: Oregano, Thyme, Birch and Peppermint. The

suggested dilution is 15 drops of essential oil to 1/2 ounce

of V6 (or any other good carrier oil).

4. If certain systems of the body need work, use applicable blends

or singles with the Vita-Flex technique on the spine. (If an

area turns red, these may be infected areas). By stimulating

the central nervous system, you have just given someone a

total treatment, affecting every system in the body, including

emotional releasing and support.

A. For arthritic conditions or deteriorated discs you may

use: 6 drops Birch, 3 drops Lemongrass, 4-5 drops

Marjoram, 4-5 drops Cypress, and 2 drops Peppermint.

B. If the person has digestive problems you may apply

Di-Tone to your palm and then to the 5th lumbar to

enhance digestion.

C. If the person has kidney or adrenal problems, such as

stress or fatigue, you may apply Endo-Flex to the palm

then Vita-Flex that area. You can determine the location

of the kidneys by drawing an imaginary line from elbow

to elbow. Two inches above this line is the location of

the kidneys.

D. Birch is for bone problems.

5. Allow the person to relax for quite awhile after applying the

oils. (allow 1 hour for applying the oils and at least 1/2 hour

afterwards for relaxation).

6. Let people know that they might detox after the treatment.

A skin eruption is entirely possible as the skin is the largest

excretory organ of the body. They should drink lots of water

to flush out the toxins.

3. PEOPLE AND OILS (Top)

Raindrop Therapy Testimonials

"Experiencing the Raindrop Therapy was one of the most relaxing

experiences of my life. I felt like I was floating on a featherbed

like a cloud. There was a temendous sense of peace and wholeness. An

actual alignment which was gentle and effortless took place in my left

leg. I felt immensely nurtured, loved and cared for."

Clarity Ann Martin - Reiki Master

"Sinking into deeper states of relaxation is easy while the

Raindrop Therapy is being applied. I especially enjoyed some

upperbody massage after the oils began to penetrate and bring

healing to my stiff back. After? I felt I had a new, fluid spine

and was walking on air, moving through liquid. Wonderful!!!"

Denise Aughtman - Massage Therapist

"Raindrop Therapy is the most unique approach to massage that I have

ever experienced for deep relaxation and release of tired and sore

muscles; especially in my back."

Kayt Cunningham - Massage Therapist

"I suffered a lower back injury at work five years ago and,

although I recieved regular chiropractic treatments for over two

years, my low back pain persisted. Five weeks ago I recieved a

Raindrop Therapy treatment and my low back pain has lessened to

the degree that most of the time it is non-existent. My back has

gone from being a source of pain and discomfort for me to being a

great source of strength and support for my body. I unequivocably

recommend a monthly Raindrop Therapy treatment for persons with back

problems...Say "good-bye" to your aching back and "welcome!" to

radiant health and vitality."

Lakshmi Kerner - Reiki Master

How To Beat The Time Trap...

The Business of Young Living Essential Oils

By Jim Lynn

(Part One of Three Installments)

Buying Back Time...

How much money are you worth an hour? I know each of us fully

believes we are worth much more than what we are actually paid. But

consider this...If you are a salaried employee, or receive an hourly

rate for each hour worked, your time is worth exactly the amount you

agreed to work for...and no more. The money we earn from this kind of

employment is referred to as Linear Income.

Now there is nothing wrong with having a linear income, it is most

honorable. People can earn good money by it. Hourly wages can run from

a few dollars to hundreds of dollars per hour. However, linear income

is limited to the number of hours worked, and only provides an income

when you work. In other words, when you stop work, it stops! So while

linear income may be the manner in which most Americans earn their pay

checks, it is also the main reason so many of us cannot afford to

retire.

According to a survey released in December of 1996 (sponsored by

Workplace Pulse), retirement incomes of workers in every age group

will fall far below their expectations. Workplace Pulse estimated

workers who are 60 and plan to retire at 65 would need $353,324 in

total savings, including Social Security, to receive an annual

retirement income of $26,256. A worker who is now 30 would need

$1,145,972 at age 65 to meet the same expectations.

The report said 30 year-old workers would need to save $2,423 each

month to achieve the same retirement income of $26,256 in 1996

dollars. At the same time, a 60 year-old worker with $140,000 already

saved would need to put away an additional $2,325 a month to retire at

65 on a $26, 256 yearly income. But the survey found the average

worker aged 45 to 64 is saving only $2,529 a year.

To make up lost ground, more and more bread winners are

turning to something called Time Leveraging to create long term

residual income. With time leveraging, there is no hourly limit

placed on your worth, and money continues to come to you whether

you work or not.

The difference between linear income and residual income is

that with residual income, your productive time is leveraged.

That is, your time spent at work becomes increasingly worth more

and more. So if time is worth money, leveraged time has no upper

limit of its worth. How much worth? Well, Of the over 500,000

millionaires in the U.S.A., 20% of them have become millionaires

(within the past three years) by leveraging their time...And did

it using something called Referral Based marketing.

(to be continued...)

NOTE:

This is the first segment of a three part series that deals with

the Business of Young Living Essential Oils. Part Two (Referral

Based Marketing) and Part Three (Financial Freedom as a Young

Living Essential Oils Distributor) will be presented in the

February and March issues.

Publisher's Note:

Essential oils are the missing link in mankind's effort to live a

healthy and disease free life. As people discover these wonderful oils

for the first time, and experience how the mind and body responds to

them, we can expect a paradigm shift in our views towards medicine,

health and healing.
