RAINBOW THERAPY
All of the components of the Raindrop Technique are incorporated into this session, which is a combination of oil application and techniques introduced to society by D. Gary Young. His inspiration came from the traditions of the Lakota Indians. Wallace Black Elk told Gary the story of how the Lakota people used to migrate to Canada each spring. There they would experience the beauty and healing benefits of the aurora borealis, or Northern Lights. The Lakota people would reach their hands high into the sky, using them as antennas to pull down vibrant energy from the dancing lights. They would breathe the energy level in and push it up their spines. They believed that these enchanting lights had the power to raise their personal energy level and to make them well. In the 1800s, when the borders between the United States and Canada were completed, the Lakota people could no longer travel north to experience the energizing effects of the Northern Lights. So they used feathers instead to raise their energy, brushing them lightly up the spine. A few years after his meeting with Wallace Black Elk, Gary studied the beneficial effects of therapeutic-grade essential oils on spinal malformities and other difficulties of the body. He was inspired at that time to use a brushing technique similar to what is used by the Lakota when applying the oils. The result is the now famous Raindrop Technique, which has benefited thousands. The principle oils used include: Valor, thyme, oregano, wintergreen, cypress, peppermint, basil, marjoram and Aroma Siez. The oils are dropped onto the back from a height of about six inches, hence the name, “Raindrop.” The oils are then lightly brushed with the fingertips until they are absorbed into the skin, infusing the body with their positive properties. One of the amazing things about being attuned to the Reiki energy is that we can allow it to always flow into any situation for the highest good and that includes giving and sharing Raindrop Therapy with a client. Becoming a Reiki master in 1997 and also a Young Living distributor at that time allowed me to use both of these gifts in my healing work with others over the years. My apprenticeship with the RaindropTechnique in the early years included attending several of the big weekend Young Living trainings and numerous clients who were interested in receiving the Raindrop. This translated into lots of practice for me with both the oils and Reiki since I always brought this energy in at the beginning of a session. Over the years I also added a number of other energy tools/techniques and so it soon became a bit more and eventually began to morph into what I now call the Rainbow Therapy. Ultimately all of the credit for the many healings that have occurred along the way can't be laid at the feet of any one person, tool or technique and can best rest with the knowledge that God alone is the doer. I have simply been blessed to be the channel for the work. Raindrop Therapy trainings arranged individually or with small groups by appointment.
