RAINDROP TECHNIQUE
Raindrop originated in the 1980's through the research of Dr. D. Gary Young. Raindrop is a powerful, non-invasive tool integrating the art of aromatic science with the technique of Vitaflex and gentle applications of therapeutic grade oils on the feet and back. The intention of Raindrop Technique is to stimulate every organ, muscle, and bone at a cellular level bringing the body into structural and electrical balance, enabling the release of toxins wherever they may be. This may include those lodged in the mind and emotions.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Upon Completion of the Raindrop Technique Class, you will be able to facilitate the entire Raindrop protocol, understand its limits and precautions, and know its potential benefits. This class is part of the foundation for becoming a Certified Raindrop Technique Specialist.
APPLIED VITAFLEX
Vitaflex is an ancient healing modality that was rediscovered by Stanley Burroughs in the late 1920's. Vitaflex is a digital electrical stimulation that activates neuro-pathways, delivering benefits of the essential oils. The body has a self-regulating electrical system that Vitaflex stimulates.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Upon Completion of the Applied Vitaflex Class, you will be able to perform 13 Vitaflex Procedures including clearing of sinuses, colon, head, ear, hip/atlas, heart pump, lymphatic drainage, and more. You will also understand the basis of Vitaflex, and what benefits may be expected from their application.
HISTORY OF ANOINTING WITH OILS & LAYING ON OF HANDS
Ancient Scripture is full of hundreds of references to "precious" oils: Aloes, Cassia, Frankincense, Galbanum, Hyssop, Balm, Spikenard, Cedarwood, Myrrh, and many more. They were considered: "the best products of the land," "the work of a skilled apothecary," "most holy" and "treasured gifts." This seminar will help clarify the valuable roles of essential oils in ancient and modern day health care and show how our Creator intricately designed them.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Upon Completion of the History of Anointing With Oils Class, you will have sampled and experienced the most common 12 Oils of Sacred Scriptures and be able to identify scripture of the Old and New Testaments containing information on essential oils as well as their Biblical and modern applications.
EMOTIONAL RELEASE
Research has shown that intense and long-term stress can cause a number of physical health problems. During an Emotional Release session, essential oils and blends are both applied and inhaled. These blends are formulated for their potential properties in the whole body. Class Participants will acquire an understanding of how essential oils may facilitate the clearing of emotional patterns through lectures, demonstrations, and a "personal" session.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Upon Completion of the Emotional Release Class, you will be able to understand how physical maladies may correlate with repressed emotions, to use essential oils to locate where emotional issues may be stored in the body, and learn a protocol aimed at releasing them for yourself and others.
CHEMISTRY OF ESSENTIAL OILS
To you, who have little or no background in chemistry yet desire a basic understanding of essential oils, this class is for you. To you, who may even fear chemistry and have avoided it in school, fear no more. This class is for you. And to You, who may have degrees in chemistry, even advanced degrees, this class is for you, too, because the unique composition and character of essential oils is not found in college textbooks, nor is it yet a part of the college curriculum of most university regimens.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Upon Completion of the CARE Chemistry Class, you will gain a scientific understanding of how the compounds of essential oils reach to cellular levels and how they can bring
