D. Gary Young.
The late D. Gary Young is the creator & founder of the Raindrop Technique™ . In June 2007, he initiated and established a world standard so he handpicked a small group of Young Living members (9) already teaching RAINDROP TECHNIQUE™ from around the world to continue to represent, teach and certify according to his new standard. A few more were later added to the list and certified later that year.
Dr. Sabina DeVita Ed.D., founder of the Canadian Federal approved institution- Institute of Energy Wellness Studies Inc. - was the only Canadian chosen to be trained in 2007 in the initial group in Ecuador by D. Gary Young at that time. She was certified by D. Gary Young as a 'Certified Raindrop Instructor'. She introduced this standard into her school program later that year and has offered certification for Raindrop Technique™ - as a
Professional Standard ever since!
From Brampton, Ontario CANADA
Raindrop Certification is currently sponsored by the Institute of Energy Wellness Studies (IEWS) a private institution.
Students can claim full tax benefits, accreditation and apply for liability insurance coverage.
Raindrop Technique®
Raindrop technique, developed by Young Living Founder and CEO D. Gary Young, draws from his experience with Native American wellness traditions and provides a revolutionary means of aligning the body and mind. Back in the 1980s D. Gary Young worked with a Lakota elder named Wallace Black Elk.
He learned the Lakota people's healing traditions which Gary Young combined with the science of essential oils to create this unique Raindrop treatment.
Raindrop Technique (RDT) is based on
1) his research of essential oils and their antimicrobial properties,
2) his knowledge of the Vita Flex technique and its reflex points on the feet, and
3) fascinating information on effleurage (light finger stroking) and its effect on the muscles and nervous system that he learned by visiting with the Lakota people in South Dakota.
Lakota Indian Teachings
While visiting with the Lakota people, Gary learned that for several generations, before the US/Canadian border was established, the Lakota Indians migrated across the Canadian border into the northern regions of Saskatchewan and Manitoba. There, they often witnessed the Northern Lights, or Aurora borealis. Those who were ill or had complicated health problems would stand facing the Aurora Borealis, hold their hands toward the lights, and inhale deeply.
The Lakota believed that when the Aurora Borealis was visible, the air was charged with healing energy. They would mentally ‘inhale’ this energy, allowing it to pass through their spine and on to other afflicted areas of the body through neurological pathways. Many experienced dramatic healing effects through this practice.
Eventually, after the border made migrations impossible, the Lakota began to use effleurage, or feathered finger stroking, which became associated with this healing technique. Additionally, the Lakota continued their practice of mentally processing energy, coupled with effleurage, to distribute healing energy throughout the body.
Gary Young found that when this Lakota practice of effleurage was coupled with the energy created by essential oils and Vita Flex, (foot application technique) its effects were greatly heightened. Since this therapeutic practice was formally adopted in 1989, Raindrop Technique (RDT) has received an enormous amount of praise from users all over the world and embraced by massage therapists, chiropractors and other medical professionals for its help with relaxation, emotional release, tissue cleansing, antiviral effects and help with spinal misalignments.
Watch D. Gary Young in the video below explain his beginnings with the Lakota Indian teachings.
