Raindrop Technique® Level 1 MasterClass |
| No Prerequisite |
|
|
Raindrop Technique is an exciting new modality, which can be performed on both people and animals. Its origins come from Ancient Tibetan reflexology, and Ancient Egyptian and Native American bodywork techniques, combined with the power of therapeutic-grade essential oils and various massage techniques. There are 4 Steps to Raindrop Technique. In addition to being performed as a technique in its own right, the various elements of Raindrop Technique can be used to complement most other modalities, including massage (all forms), reflexology, bowen technique, shiatsu, chiropractic and physiotherapy. |
|
This three day training teaches you all the skills associated with Raindrop Technique. You will be thoroughly trained in its history, its core principles, when and how to modify the technique, its safety requirements, how to work with a client history form, methods of assessing the body, which essential oils to use and why, and the procedure itself. You will be shown live blood analysis and electromagnetic frequency photographs which demonstrate the value of Raindrop Technique to the human body. You will research the benefits of the essential oils used in Raindrop Technique, and will learn how to create additional abundance through the practice of Raindrop Technique. |
|
You will give and receive one complete vitaflex technique on the feet, and two full Raindrop Techniques in your Level 1 MasterClass. Your first Raindrop Technique will focus on the technique itself and perfecting the movements. Your second Raindrop Technique will focus on the more subtle "energy" aspects of Raindrop Technique. These will all take place under close supervision from one of our qualified teachers. Group size is kept to a maximum of 12 participants per teacher, to ensure that you receive personal attention and instruction. Click here for full details of this course. |

We offer ongoing support to our Raindrop Technique MasterClass graduates through our student clinics. This is also an excellent way for our guests to experience Raindrop Technique at a fraction of the normal practitioner price. |

These clinics give our graduate students an opportunity to perform two Raindrop Techniques on members of the public, under supervision by one of our instructors. These sessions count towards their logged sessions needed for their Level 2. |
|
Students are not obliged to attend Level 2 at the same time as their Clinic. They may attend as many Clinics as they wish, before proceeding on to Level 2. All students attending Level 2 must have attended at least one Clinic day. |

Students attending these clinics will also receive additional training and practice in assessing client history forms, and developing safety modifications. There are opportunities to ask questions, share experiences, and receive specific feedback on your technique from your instructor. |

| 5. |
Egyptian Emotional Clearing Technique MasterClass Level 1 & 2 Combined |
| No Prerequisite |
|
|
Based on an ancient Egyptian ritual for “cleansing of the spirit”, this beautiful, intuitive technique is performed in silence and reverence. In this workshop you will learn this technique, and how to use Young Living’s therapeutic-grade essential oils and other bodywork techniques to promote a deep and sacred state of connectedness. This technique can be used on its own, or empower any other modality you use (including Reiki and massage). |
|
Our sense of smell is the only one of our 5 senses that directly accesses the Amygdala (in the Limbic system of the brain) where emotional memories and trauma are stored. Because of their aroma, therapeutic-grade essential oils are able to exert a powerful balancing effect on the emotions, and help facilitate the release of emotional trauma. Many essential oils also help to carry oxygen to the brain, thus stimulating the pineal and pituitary glands (and in turn enhancing the sense of inner and spiritual connection). The combination of these 2 effects (that is, balancing emotions and enhancing inner connection) makes this technique perfect as a step in addressing emotional blockages. |
|
Whilst each recipient’s experience is unique, the most common outcomes to this technique are an intense state of clarity around current issues, the gentle release of issues that are causing emotional and physical challenges, and feelings of emotional bliss and heightened awareness. The Egyptian Emotional Clearing Technique can be used on yourself, or on loved ones and clients. Click here for full details of this course. |

You will need to wear comfortable clothing where the Student can get easy access to the centre of your chest and stomach area for the placing of essential oil - ideally a shirt or blouse that can be unbuttoned and pulled back a little. Modesty is an important part of our training and maintained at all times. Additionally, comfortable trousers, shorts or a skirt would be fine. If the weather is cool, warm socks would help although measures are in place to ensure your comfort. |

Teacher Training - Level 3 & 4 |
|
| Prerequisites: Raindrop Technique and/or Egyptian Emotional Clearing Technique Certificate of Competence |
|
|
|
|
Once you have received your Certificate of Competence in Raindrop Technique or EECT, we invite you to register your interest with us as a potential teacher. In most instances, we will encourage you to perform professional Raindrop Technique or EECT for at least 6 to 12 months before embarking on your Level 3 training. This supports you in gaining in-depth experience with the technique, its modifications, and the Young Living oils. We have a teacher training program in place, which involves:
|
Assisting on one Level 1 and one Level 2 |
|
Attending a teacher training seminar, which comprises an in-depth written and practical assessment of your Raindrop Technique or EECT, and of your skills as a teacher. You must receive a pass mark of 80% or higher on all components to pass your teacher training. |
|
Presenting under supervision on at least three Level 1 and three Level 2 trainings (this forms part of your assessment, and must be conducted to a high level of competency in order to pass your teacher training). You will be assigned parts of this course to teach. Once you have mastered the teaching of this part, you will then be assigned a different part to teach at the next class, and so on. If you master each segment straight off, without needing to repeat it, then you will complete your supervised training component over 3 separate classes, and will then be asked to present the entire course on your own (but with one of our senior instructors present) as your final assessment. If you need to repeat any of these sections, it will take longer. Additionally you will need to meet a variety of other requirements including: |
|
| |
|
Have an extensive knowledge of Young Living’s essential oil blends |
| |
|
Have logged at least 50 Raindrop Techniques or EECTs (on a minimum of 20 different recipients) |
| |
|
Be a current active member of Young Living, familiar with Young Living's membership requirements, autoship program and compensation plan, and be recognised as Senior Star (or above) with Young Living. |
| |
|
Hold a current first aid certificate |
| |
|
Have demonstrated an exceptional level of skill in Raindrop Technique or EECT, and be a natural presenter able to inspire and manage students in a class situation (including good time management) |
|

Courses under development
The Following courses are under development, and due for release in the coming years.
| 7. |
Vitaflex Master Class |
| Prerequisite: Raindrop Technique Level 1 MasterClass |
|
|
Vitaflex Technique is an integral component to Raindrop Technique. However, for most Raindrop Technique sessions, vitaflex is only performed on the “spine” of the foot (corresponding to the spine of the body). This one day workshop will teach you the extended Vitaflex technique, thus offering you much greater flexibility in how you access different regions of the body. The extended Vitaflex Technique begins at the knees, traveling down the lower legs, around the ankles, and over every portion of the foot. In this one day workshop you will also learn a series of specific Vitaflex tools to enhance your Raindrop Technique, or to use as a stand-alone technique. These tools include: Lymphatic Pump, Heart Access Point, Headache Points, Scalp Vitaflex, Ear Moves and Atlas Vitaflex Moves. |

Neuroauricular Technique |
| No Prerequisite |
|
|
This is a new technique currently under development by naturopath D. Gary Young, the founder of Raindrop Technique. Originally designed for use on those with Parkinsons, the neuroauricular technique (NAT) has proven itself as yet another Master Technique, appropriate to a wide range of physical and emotional challenges. The technique derives its name from the use of an auricular probe (a glass rod normally used on the ears), which gently directs the action of the essential oils around the spine and neck region. |
