What is Raindrop?
Raindrop is a technique inspired by the Lakota Native American Indians tradition of observing the northern lights while inhaling the affirming aroma of nearby trees. The Raindrop Technique helps to bring balance and harmony to the body by combining targeted massage and distinctive energy approaches. It includes premium essential oils to create an atmosphere of serenity.
The Raindrop Technique was developed by Young Living Founder D. Gary Young in 1989 as a unique practice based on methods that have been used for centuries to rejuvenate the body and mind.
*Raindrop Technique is a sequence of anointing with oils and laying on of hands that brings structural and electrical alignment to the body in a relaxing and invigorating manner through the power of essential oils.
Most of the Raindrop oils are high in phenolic content to ward off potentially damaging viruses and bacteria while cleansing cellular receptor sites to enhance inter- and intra-cellular communication and improve overall bodily function. Some Raindrop oils contain a variety of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes to assist in deleting misinformation in the DNA and in reprogramming correct information in cellular memory to restore and maintain physical and emotional wellness
The maladies of the body and mind are in layers. During any given Raindrop session, only those layers the client is ready and willing to release will be released - both physical and emotional.
