Raindrop Technique | Aromatherapy Massage Course

The following is a summary of courses and events available through The Raindrop Association of Australia (RAA). These include Extended Education Programs in Raindrop Technique, to support you in your development of the Technique and its application.

Raindrop Technique® MASTER CLASS WITH ECUADOR UPDATES – Level 1

No Prerequisite

	Raindrop Technique is an exciting new modality, which can be performed on both people and animals. Its origins come from Ancient Tibetan foot reflexology, and Ancient Egyptian and American Indian 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 two and a half 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 course. 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 instructors. Group size is kept to a maximum of 12 participants per instructor, to ensure that you receive personal attention and instruction. Check out our Frequently Asked Questions about Raindrop Technique, How to Prepare for Raindrop Technique, and our Raindrop Technique Testimonials.

Professional Level Raindrop Technique® - Teacher Training (LeVEL 3)

Prerequisite: Professional Level Raindrop Technique Level 2.

Once you have graduated from Level 2, we invite you to register your interest with us as a potential teacher of our Professional Level Raindrop Technique. In most instances, we will encourage you to perform professional level raindrop technique for at least 6 to 12 months after graduating from Level 2 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, 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 one Level 1 and one Level 2 training (this forms part of your assessment, and must be conducted to a high level of competency in order to pass your teacher training).

Additionally you will need to meet a variety of other requirements:

▪	Have an extensive knowledge of Young Living’s essential oil blends
▪	Have logged at least 50 Raindrop Techniques (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
▪	Hold a current first aid certificate

Vitaflex Master Class

Prerequisite: Professional Level Raindrop Technique Level 1

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 Techniques. These tools include: Lymphatic Pump, Heart Access Point, Headache Points, Scalp Vitaflex, Ear Moves and Atlas Vitaflex Moves.

VALOR BALANCE MASTER CLASS

No Prerequisite

	Valor Balance is the first step of Raindrop Technique, and in its own right achieves a great deal of the benefits of a full Raindrop Technique. The Valor Balance is enhanced greatly by the use of additional essentail oils, chosen intuitively for the recipient. As you learn to access your intuitive abilities, these will also provide you with strong guidance on which oils to use, and how to work with each recipient. You will also be taught additional simple techniques for the use of essential oils on recipients, for enjoyment and upliftment.
	In this workshop you will be taught to access your intuitive gifts of sight (clairvoyance), sound (clairaudence) and feeling (clairsentience), for specific application to Valor Balance, Raindrop Technique and other body work modalities.
	You will learn to see, feel and scan auras to detect energy blockages (including remote viewing – that is, when the person is not in the room); you will be shown how to receive guidance on the best oils to use for each recipient, and on the presence (and source) of any emotional blockages; and you will learn how to send Raindrop Technique over a distance using a surrogate.

Raindrop Technique® for Animals, and EQUINE RAINDROP THERAPY

Prerequisite: Professional Level Raindrop Technique Level 1

Raindrop Technique is an amazing modality not only for humans, but also for animals (especially within the canine and equine families). In this one day workshop you will learn to modify Raindrop Technique so that it may be performed safely on dogs and/or horses.

Egyptian Emotional Clearing Technique MasTER CLASS LEVEL 1

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.

Essential Oil Teachings from Ecuador

No Prerequisite

Artemis and Catherine Garro are both Senior Instructors for the Raindrop Association of Australia. We know you’ll be delighted to know that Artemis and Catherine have been personally certified by Raindrop Technique’s founder, Gary Young in a 4 day intensive training. This is a great honour which has been extended to only 10 people worldwide.

As you can imagine, they will be bringing back exciting news and photos of the clinic and farm in Ecuador, and also of the latest developments in Raindrop Technique and its application. In this 2 hour workshop you will have the opportunity to share in this wonderful journey, and to receive the gifts of knowledge that were imparted in Ecuador.

This will appeal to all of our Raindrop Technique graduates (come and find out ways to tweak your technique), our Young Living members (discover all the latest news from Ecuador!), and to everyone who enjoys learning about the latest research into essential oils and health (there’ll be plenty of that too).
