The Hand Techniques…
From Ancient Tibet and the Ancient traditions of the Lakota Sioux People
Dr Young had some very inspired assistance from a Lakota Sioux Elder and the work of Stanley Burroughs. The techniques from these two healing traditions which are incorporated into Raindrop are the Feathering technique and Vita Flex:

The story goes that long ago, prior to the establishment of the Canada/US border, the Lakota people and other native tribes took pilgrimages North to experience the re-energizing effects of the Aurora – Boreas. With arms outspread and face to the sky, the electrical energies of the Aurora could be brought into the body to re-energize and heal the body and spirit. This is very similar to techniques in other cultures of bringing energies from the Creative Universe into oneself via mediation, movement, etc. When then borders were established and reservations put in place… the Lakota people no longer had movement and no ability to travel TO the Aurora Borealis to absorb the energetic healing stimulation. They found that a good substitute was to perform a very light feather stroking of the skin. Light enough to initially cause a tingle.. this encourages an electrical communication signal to travel up the spine (the body’s antenna) and to the brain and other organs of the body. THIS is why the feather stroke is used in Raindrop- to encourage the energy transfer and communication up the spine and through the body.

In approximately 1950 or so Stanley Burroughs revealed to the populace his new theories of health and longevity. One of the techniques presented in his book, “Healing for the Age of Enlightenment” is the VitaFlex technique that comes from Tibet. For thousands of years these hand techniques have been used to send energy signals through the body using reflex points and meridians. Basically, the technique incorporates a pressing with the finger pads and then a rolling of the fingers, from the pad to the tip, to the nail bed in certain areas of the body to start and nullify a signal. This is simply a multiplied effect versus a single pressure signal that may be sent in Reflexology. Raindrop incorporates the VitaFlex techniques on the spine points of the feet and may be adapted to include other points and appropriate oils upon client request.

In the Raindrop Technique- both sets of hand techniques are used and are designed to increase the ability of the oils to travel along- or “hitch a ride” – with these same electrical signals generated by the various touch techniques.
