How does Raindrop get its Name?
Essential oils are actually dropped from about 6 inches above your spine, simulating rain drops! It feels like a rain drop gently striking your spine, and it is very relaxing and comforting.
It is thought that the oils interact with a person's electric field before even penetrating the skin of the back. Thereby, enhancing the electromagnetic properties of the oils as well. Amazing!
What is the Concept behind Feather Stroking?
In the 1980s Gary Young worked with a Lakota elder named Wallace Black Elk. He learned that the Lakota people went to Canada to experience the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis (before there were border crossings and reservations). The Lakota people would raise their hands toward the light and breathe in the energy of the lights for healing purposes.
Once the Lakota people could no longer cross the border, they created a stroking technique along the spine using a feather that simulated the healing energy of the Aurora Borealis. And this is the massage technique that was taught to Gary Young and is named feather stroking.

What should I do to prepare to receive The Raindrop Technique (RDT)?
Please drink plenty of water before and after the RDT session. Avoid such fluids as coffee, soda and alcohol. You should divide your weight in half and drink that many ounces of pure water everyday. Sometimes the detox process results in some unpleasant symptoms such as body soreness, sinus drainage, headaches, coughing or skin eruptions. While these may not be comfortable, just know that this is your body's way of ridding itself of these toxins, sometimes held up in your body for decades. These minor symptoms, which should only last a day or so, may actually be saving you from a much more serious illness at a later date. For most people the RDT is a wonderful and pleasant experience where you will experience a sense of well-being, relaxation and energy. In some cases chronic ailments have completely disappeared after just one session, or just afterwards, but of course, every person is different and each session is different, depending on where you are at the time.
