Guest guest Posted February 6, 2000 Report Share Posted February 6, 2000 For those who are interested, the following is a very good explanation of Raindrop Therapy. I am an LMT and have been using RDT for 4 years and find it to be very effective with spinal alignment and balancing of the body systems. Peace, Light, Smiles, Glory in Florida 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. 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 in the 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 neat 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. I understand that in many parts of the country, massage therapists are not as plentiful as they are here in California. It has been brought to my attenti on by some massage therapists, that after many years of practice, they, too are beginning to hurt financially. So, this is a good technique for massage therapists to use to bring an added dimension of value to their clients. By incorporating the procedure into their practice, it could become a profitable business. Shoshana Roller is a holistic practitioner in Dublin, CA. She is a Reike Master, a Certified Hypnotherapist and Aromatherapist. Shoshana also teaches RDT to interested individuals. Odds and ends.. A woman used this on her son after a tour of duty in Yugoslavia. (not a nice place). It took two treatments to straighten the spine and remove the 'gray- green under eyes. She has done this to many folks with extreme success. The only problems she encountered is that it is such a 'feel good' that everyone wants more. No one has ever been 'burnt' from using the oils neat. But you must listen to your client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2000 Report Share Posted February 9, 2000 Hi Margie, I work with Young Living oils as well as others. I've found them to be some of the highest quality available. As for the Raindrop Therapy, I have been practicing that for about a year or so. Every time I do one I know that I am practicing because everybody's body responds to the oils uniquely. But one thing I know for sure, it's fantastic. I've only gotten praise from the folks who I've done this with. One young woman, age 19, was brought to be by her mother. The doctors were ready to do surgery on her spine, and wanted to put in steel rods to straighten out her spine. In one Raindrop Therapy her spine moved dramatically on it's own. The mother saw this and began to cry. She couldn't believe that this could happen. I personally believe that if surgery is truly necessary, so be it. In the meantime, if other means can be found, fantastic!!!! If I can assist with any more information, please mail me directly. Wishing you well in all ways, Lynn Los Angeles mlp Hi to all, My name is Margie. I am a LMT and I have been using the raindrop therapy technique tought by youngliving oils. I would like to hear from anyone who has had experience with this therapy.. pros and cons. Thanks and look forward to chating with all. Blessings, Margie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2000 Report Share Posted February 9, 2000 Is raindrop therapy something that you can learn to do from reading a book, or are there classes that you take? Where can I learn to do raindrop therapy?

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2000 Report Share Posted February 10, 2000 Hi Dorothy, To answer your question yes and no. Yeah that sucks I know. But there is a solution. Rainbow Therapy is the layering on of specific oils on the spinal area. There is a basic formula, but it is not set in stone as all bodies are not the same. the first thing to do is learn the oils and what they do. when you know the oils then you will know about the rainbow therapy. It is like baking a cake from scratch. Every cake you bake will be a little different. Every time you bake a cake you improve on your skill. Every Rainbow Therapy session is different. The old adage is correct - practice makes perfect. There is a basic recipe. I believe it was posted not too long ago. once you get a person on the table and gather the oils around you, you usually find out that what you had in mind takes backseat to what the body requires and asks for. I hope I have made sense and not lost you in the kitchen of creation.
