Raindrop Technique MasterClass (L1+2) - Byron Bay 2024 (SOLD OUT)

RAINDROP TECHNIQUE 
PRACTITIONER COURSE - BYRON BAY

This course is simply perfect for those wishing to be practitioners in Raindrop Technique,
and for those who just LOVE learning about essential oils and helping their loved ones. 

Imagine the sensation of sinking into a deep and blissful state of rest, as someone does the ancient Tibetan version of reflexology on your feet. As you slowly (even reluctantly) come back to your body and roll over, you experience the gentle splashes as therapeutic grade essential oils are applied up your spine and to your tired muscles. These oils are then 'feathered in' using a spine-tingling technique inspired by the Native Americans, combined with massage. You can't get more pampered than this! 

HOW THE TECHNIQUE WORKS:
Raindrop Technique comprises 4 steps, each unlocking a new, amazing experience. In 2007, I was one of 6 Raindrop Technique instructors invited to Ecuador to study with its founder Gary Young in a 4 day Raindrop Technique Masterclass. Gary showed us in detail how he wanted each move taught….and that’s what we teach to you! 

Step 1 - The Valor Balance: 
This step balances the body’s electrical energy using the oil blend “Valor”. Valor is a blend of oils that the Roman soldiers wore into battle. It gave them strength, courage and confidence, so they felt unbeatable. Valor instructs the body to relax, allowing our muscles to let go and our spine to sit in its perfectly balanced position.

Step 2 - VitaFlex Technique: 
You are lying face up on a massage table, and you’re in a deep state of relaxation from the Valor Balance. Then this beautiful, rhythmic, VitaFlex technique (ancient Tibetan reflexology) is performed along the inner edge of your feet, from heel to toe. It’s not too heavy, not too light… but just right. 7 essential oils are applied to your feet during this process.

Designed to balance and energise the physical spine via its reflex points in the feet, VitaFlex Technique sends you into a luscious state of relaxation. Most people are sound asleep by the end of this step.

Step 3 – Oils “Raindropped” on the Spine, Feathered in, then Massaged:
9 essential oils and blends are dripped along the spine and “feathered in” using a flowing movement that nurtures the energy and the oils up the spine and back. This movement is incredible!!!! Each feathering stroke draws the oil up the spine to the organs of the body, invigorating the whole body.

The oils and feathering is interspersed with a variety of massage steps, which loosen the muscles along the back, release tension, promote relaxation and encourage healthy detox, thus bringing all the benefits of a great massage to the physical body. 

Step 4 -The Finger Pull: 
The Finger Pull is a Lymphatic Pump technique, performed at the occiput (where the neck joins the skull). The giver’s hands are cupped on either side of the head, and the fingers are bent then relaxed then bent again (like pulling a trigger with all 4 fingers). This creates a rhythmic and extremely relaxing rocking of the entire body, including the toes!

Being a lymphatic pump, it’s one of the best ways for moving stagnant lymph fluid around the body, giving the body a complete “wake up”, leaving it tingling and revitalized and cleansed – the perfect way to end this amazing technique.

Raindrop Technique is one of the most wonderful and extraordinary modalities on our planet, and I know you will love both giving and receiving it. Whether you want to perform this exquisite technique on family and friends, offer Raindrop Technique professionally, or simply learn more about how to use therapeutic-grade essential oils, this course is a must!
