Client Testimonial for Raindrop Technique

My father had a cerebral aneurysm complicated by hydrocephalus and had to go through four brain surgeries in one year as part of his recovery. His muscles atrophied and contracted to the point where he couldn't unbend his legs and his short-term memory was nonexistent. Doctors and therapists had all but given up and told me to expect little to no recovery. I was never really into alternative treatments, but I decided to look around for a massage therapist, as I believed it might help my father and I was quite desperate for any hope.

I contacted Alexandria Massage Therapists and was told that they would come to my father's nursing home and give him a treatment there. This was especially wonderful since my father's condition was so bad, I couldn't take him out of his nursing facility. The massage therapist, Esse Muskopf, came twice a week and performed a technique called "the raindrop". Within a few weeks his condition began to improve. The massage sessions helped my father work better with his physical therapists and slowly and shockingly his memory improved as well. Within two months of treatments my father had physically and mentally so dramatically improved that his therapists and nurses were in shock daily. Three months after the treatments began, my father was doing so well that he was sent home.

He still can't walk very well, but he CAN walk. His mental abilities so improved he went back to his old job as a programming engineer. Esse still gives him a weekly massage and he still goes to physical therapy and a complete recovery is now expected by all. I of course give credit to my father's nurses and physical therapists, but I also give a lot of thanks to Esse and her raindrop technique which very possibly saved my father's life. ~ Rachael G.

Points to Mention as a Prelude to Raindrop Technique

1.

The Purpose of Raindrop Technique is to stimulate every organ, muscle and bone of the body at a cellular level through the oil, boosting the immune system, bringing the body into structural/ electrical balance, and enabling the release of toxins or disease wherever they may be lodged - including those illnesses lodged in the mind and emotions. Raindrop Technique is a non- secular art and science.

2.

Raindrop Technique is Most Effectively Performed in Silence - no music and no talking. This allows the facilitator to concentrate and serve as a better channel while allowing the client to interiorize their mind and assist in the healing process. If talking is necessary (for instructional purposes, for example), it should be quietly or in a whisper. Dr. Young encourages both facilitator and client to engage in Raindrop with an attitude of prayer, acknowledging our Creator as the source of all health and well- being.

3.

The Client is the Principle Participant in and the means of their own healing. The Facilitator is but a channel assisting the client to mobilize their own healing powers. The client should interiorize or center themselves and feel the body as it adjusts and corrects itself. The client should breathe deeply and in a relaxed fashion.

4.

The Maladies of the Body and Mind are in Layers. During any given Raindrop session only those layers the client is ready and willing to release will be released - both physical and emotional. Negative experiences are often our greatest teachers. That is the reason we sometimes hold on to them - because we still have something to learn from them. When the client feels something ready to be released, Dr. Young suggests this affirmation: "I lovingly and willingly release that which no longer serves me in a positive and progressive way."

5.

Raindrop Technique is a Complete Modality, In and of Itself, That reaches to all levels of the body, mind and emotions. In general, its results are not improved when additional modalities (such as chiropractic etc.) are added or inserted during a raindrop session. The objective of Raindrop is to awaken the receiver's internal healing powers and any external manipulation at the time of the raindrop session interferes with that objective. Raindrop Technique alone is sufficient to awaken the self-healing powers the client and does so in a way that delivers optimal benefit according to the readiness and willingness of the client at the time of treatment. At the completion of a Raindrop Technique session the client will have been lifted to a delicate state of balance and receptivity to healing energies. Employing additional modalities at that time can upset that balance and reduce the healing potential. While acupuncture, allopathy, chiropractic, reflexology and other therapeutic modalities can be enhanced when employed with essential oils, Raindrop Technique is generally best when done by itself. If needed or desired, other healing modalities can be employed later when the Raindrop Technique has had time to complete its work.

6.

Raindrop Technique Stimulates Detoxification of the Body. Therefore, it is crucial for the client to drink plenty of water following a therapy session and avoid toxic fluids such as soda, coffee, or alcohol. A good rule to follow is to divide your weight in pounds by two and drink at least that number of ounces of pure water everyday. Sometimes the detoxification process results in bodily soreness, headache, sinus drainage, coughing or a rash on the skin. While unpleasant, these symptoms are temporary and are merely an indication that the technique is working and, perhaps, saving you from a much more serious illness at a later time. If the colon, liver and kidneys are saturated with toxins and unable to function normally, the skin becomes the third organ of excretion - thus a rash. If that happens, stop using the oils for a while and double your water intake. For the vast majority of Raindrop clients their experience is a pleasant sense of improved well-being, relaxation, and energization and, in some cases, chronic ailments have fallen away immediately or have disappeared soon after the session.

7.

Raindrop Technique can Lead to Permanent Healing, but. . .The correction or healing of maladies will vary widely among clients according to their needs going into the session and their willingness to release what ails them at the time. Not all problems can be solved in a single session. A state of ill health is usually the result of many years of accumulation of toxins and traumas - physical, mental and spiritual. Each Raindrop Session can potentially take a series of sessions over time - plus lifestyle changes in terms of diet, exercise, habits and environment. Raindrop Technique cannot lead to permanent healing unless permanent changes are made by the client to eliminate the factors that led to the ill condition in the first place. What Raindrop Technique does is to help cleanse one of the consequences of past negative activities and affords one the opportunity to start afresh and get it right in the present and into the future.

8.

Strong Emotional Releases can Sometimes Occur with Raindrop Technique since the oils, when inhaled, go directly to the central brain which coordinates the memory of stored emotions. The oils also go directly to muscles, tissues and organs throughout the body where emotions can also be stored in cellular memory. Essential oils can penetrate cellular membranes and release these forgotten emotions. In rare instances, receivers may have a strong emotional response (such as crying, moaning, writhing, flailing of arms, etc.) Accept what you are witnessing as a necessary and beneficial healing process for that client. In such instances, the Raindrop session has provided what the client perceives as a safe environment to allow such expressions to manifest and work themselves out. The facilitator will keep silent and maintain physical contact, allowing the client to work it out.

9.

The Benefits from Raindrop May Not All be Apparent immediately following the session. Adjustments can continue throughout the week following. Some clients experience a healing (occasionally dramatic) immediately upon receiving Raindrop. However, the completion of the benefits to the client's mind, body and emotions takes place over a period of hours and days following the session and may not all be evident right away. Furthermore, some of the benefits may be subtle and not noticed for a while. What problems the client may have hoped would be corrected may not as yet be healed, thus waiting to be released in a future Raindrop Session. Meanwhile, unexpected healings may occur for chronic problems the client had not even thought of. One can never predict in advance what benefits Raindrop may bring in a given session. Therefore, evaluation of the benefits received from Raindrop Technique may take several days to assess.

10.

A Word About Skin Sensitivities. Therapeutic grade essential oils (such as those from Young Living) are generally safe to apply neat to the skin without unpleasant reactions. However, people prone to allergies or whose bodies are in an acid condition or who have high levels of toxins may react to some oils and can develop a rash from too rapid a detoxification following raindrop. Please let your therapist know if this is a concern for you, substitutions may be made.
