Raindrop Therapy with High Grade Essential Oils

What is the Raindrop Therapy?

Raindrop Therapy is a powerful essential oil technique that was developed by D. Gary Young in the 1970s. It combines several holistic modalities to bring balance and alignment to the body with the application of two mixed blended oils and seven single essential oils. The key to Raindrop Therapy’s many benefits is based on the use of aromatherapy, the Vita Flex Technique, and a light enfleurage type of feather massage. By bringing together these elements of the session in a harmonious and energetic combination, the client often feels a deeper connection to core, lengthening along the spine and a stronger energetic alignment.

The Raindrop Technique found its name by the naming of the light raindrop sensations that the client feels as the essential oils are dropped from about 6 inches above. It’s very comforting and those who are aware of the energetic component may even feel the vibration as the drops spill into the human energy field. People often feel a deep sense of relaxation, more joy and inner peace. Not only do client feel better emotionally, but some of the oils are known to hold anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. As the oils are gently massage near the spine, the body immediately benefits as toxins are released, the immune system begins to strengthen and balance, and the person lets go of old stresses and pains.

Craniosacral Therapy and Autism

Craniosacral Therapy

When I work with clients, I am totally aware of the shifts and changes that take place during the Massage session. The tissues under my hands are alive and speaking to me through the movements and rhythms. Often clients quickly move from a stressful state into such deep relaxation after applying a still point that I hear light snoring in a matter of minutes. It brings me pleasure to help people find their inner peace through Massage, Craniosacral therapy and other treatments that I share.

But- there is more than deep relaxation that happens during a Craniosacral Therapy Session. Craniosacral Therapists who are trained at the Advanced level learn to encourage the body into “still point” which can provide a very positive effect on the Central Nervous System.

What is a still point?

It is a temporary pause in the cerebral spinal fluid circulation through your brain and spinal cord. Inducing a still point will eventually flush out the system as the fluid rushes back in to nourish. The still point can help children and adults with autism to relax deeply so that they can receive the other Craniosacral techniques. It’s very quieting and fulfilling.

If you are interested in finding out more about how Cranialsacral can help with autism, check out the following link from the Upledger Institute, Dr. Upledger

Parents of children with autism often report that their children with occasional treatment, are able to have better eye contact and able to release stress easier.
