Raindrop Therapy Technique is a revolutionary way to look at bringing balance and harmony to the body, physically, mentally and emotionally. It is a powerfully effective treatment which can help release tension in the spinal tissue and stimulate the central and peripheral nervous systems. It has been reported that it can help to clear bacteria, unhelpful viruses and other toxins from the body.

Lorna was initially taught this technique by Kiannaa T. Leighland who came over to Scotland from America to pass on the wonders of The Raindrop Technique in 2002.

This is a most wonderful treatment which uses a combination of 9 purest grade undiluted essential oils. Oils are firstly applied to the feet, relating to the spine, the feet are then kept warm increase the absorption of the oils as a doubly effective measure. The oils are then dropped, raindrop style, directly on the spine in a specific sequence in a delightful massage around the neck, spine and back, which is also kept warm. These oils are of the highest therapeutic grade and are somewhat controversial to most who have been given the standard traditional aromatherapy training here in the UK. 

The smells of the unique combination of essential oils is quite delicious and the feeling after a treatment is often described as 'uplifted' and 'alive'... some people seem to have 'grown taller' as their spine re-adjusts.

It has been reported that the effects may last up to 7 weeks.

This technique has been developed through the inspiration of the traditions of the Lakota Indians who travelled into Canada to watch the great Northern Lights - the Auroro Borealis. They believed that the lights would be drawn up their spines and allow it to heal their bodies, mind and spirit. When the American/Canadian border was created they were no longer able to travel on this healing journey and they developed a technique using feathers.

When the founder of Young Living Essential Oils, Dr Gary Young met with Wallace Black Elk, a Lakota Indian, he felt inspired by their tradition and later developed the Raindrop Technique using the highest grade pure essential oils. These oils are dropped from a height of 4'-6' onto the spine (the oils can be effectively diluted with vegetable oil if excess warmth is experienced - but this is rarely required).

This technique enhances the electrical flow along the neural pathways of the body and is of value to various ailments including Irritable Bowel Syndrome, ME/Fibromyalgia, back pain, Scoliosis, and depression.

teach me how to trust
my heart,
my mind,
my intuition,
my inner knowing,
the senses of my body,
the blessings of my spirit.
Teach me to trust these things
so that I may enter my Sacred Space
and love beyond my fear,
and thus Walk in Balance
with the passing of each glorious Sun.
