Your Healing Alternative for Deep Relaxation & Alignment
Have you been curious about Raindrop Technique? Wondering…
Is it therapy? Is it massage? What makes it different?
Why would I choose Raindrop instead of (or alongside) massage?
Is it therapy? Is it massage? What makes it different?
Why would I choose Raindrop instead of (or alongside) massage?
You’re not alone—I’ve often asked the same questions. And after years of exploring wellness modalities, I can confidently say: Raindrop Technique is in a category of its own.
It’s not massage, though it includes gentle, soothing touch. It’s a beautiful blend of essential oil therapy, ancient wisdom, and modern energy alignment techniques—and the result is deep relaxation, physical balancing, and energetic renewal.
Why Raindrop Technique Stands Out
“If Raindrop Technique were an animal, it would have the head of a tiger, the nose of an elephant, the neck of a giraffe, the body of a griffin, the tail of a horse, and the legs of a lizard.”
– The Oily Temple
– The Oily Temple
That might sound mythical, but Raindrop is rooted in real-world healing traditions from around the globe.
It was created by Young Living’s founder, D. Gary Young, who drew inspiration from:
- The Lakota tribe’s healing practices under the Northern Lights
- Ancient Egyptian anointing rituals
- Vita Flex footwork techniques taught by Stanley Burroughs
- Intuitive, dream-inspired blending of therapeutic-grade essential oils
The result? A truly unique session that calms the nervous system, supports spinal alignment, and deeply restores body, mind, and spirit.
What Makes It So Effective?
Many clients report benefits such as:
- Reduced tension and stress
- Improved spinal alignment
- Nervous system reset (from “fight or flight” to “rest and digest”)
- Emotional clarity and groundedness
- Better sleep and longer-lasting relaxation
Raindrop has even received praise for supporting conditions like scoliosis, kyphosis, and chronic muscular tension.
And this is just the beginning. In this post (and more to come), I’ll be introducing you to the layers of Raindrop Technique—its power, how it’s performed, and why it’s such a transformative experience.
Step 1: Balancing with Valor
We always begin with what’s called the “Valor Balance.”
Named after the essential oil blend Valor—nicknamed “chiropractor in a bottle”—this step starts the process of realignment and relaxation by working with your body’s electrical and energetic systems.
Named after the essential oil blend Valor—nicknamed “chiropractor in a bottle”—this step starts the process of realignment and relaxation by working with your body’s electrical and energetic systems.
What’s in Valor?
The original Valor blend was inspired by oils used by Roman soldiers for courage before battle. It includes:
- Northern Lights Black Spruce (now grown in Canada)
- Frankincense
- Blue Tansy (giving it a beautiful bluish hue)
- Camphor and Geranium (used when Rosewood was endangered—original Rosewood Valor is now back thanks to Young Living finding sustainable options for growth)
How Valor Balance Works
The facilitator (that’s me!) applies Valor to you, the client’s shoulders using palm placement and light pressure, holding this “balance pose” for 2 to 15 minutes. Then the same is done on the feet—with arms crossed, anchoring the nervous system from head to toe.
These techniques were inspired by ancient anointing rituals seen in the Temple of Isis in Egypt, where oils were applied at the head and feet in sacred ceremony.
Why This Step Is So Powerful
In a 2007 demonstration, Gary Young showed how a person’s leg length could visibly balance within 2 minutes of applying Valor. That’s because the frequency of this oil blend matches our skeletal system—reminding the body to relax and realign naturally.
No forcing. No manipulation. Just relaxation, alignment, and harmony naturally.
Holding the balance pose longer than 2 minutes then allows the mind to catch up with the body—helping you transition from surface relaxation into deep, restful calm.
Why This Matters in Today’s World
Even when we think we’re relaxing, we’re often still mentally racing.
Our world keeps us in a near-constant state of fight, flight, fawn, freeze, or feast. Raindrop helps bring your nervous system out of that mode and into true rest and digest.
It’s more than spa pampering. It’s real restoration.

My study continues ....Have you ever wondered how our emotions, energy centers, and spiritual life are connected? As I studied my scriptures this week, especially Ezekiel 1 and Revelation 4, I was deeply moved by the layered symbolism and how it relates to our emotional and energetic health. Let’s explore what God's Word says about our body as a spiritual vessel, and how our feelings and chakras reflect God’s divine design.
Ezekiel 1: The Vision of the Living Creatures and Our Inner Landscape
In Ezekiel 1 (KJV), the prophet describes an awe-inspiring vision. A whirlwind, a great cloud with fire and amber—a scene full of divine energy and mystery. These vivid images point to the Holy Spirit of God moving powerfully within and around us.
The Four Living Creatures: Emotions in Human Form
- Verses 4–6 describe four living creatures, each with the likeness of a man but with four faces. These can be seen as symbolic of the four stages of life: child, teen, adult, and elder.
- In verse 10, we read that each creature had:
- The face of a man – symbolic of joy and the human experience.
- The face of a lion – representing courage, particularly in times of fear.
- The face of an ox – symbolizing righteous action in response to anger, especially when boundaries are violated (think of Jesus turning over the tables in the temple).
- The face of an eagle – signifying the ability to rise above grief, releasing sadness to soar spiritually.
These four faces represent emotional responses that guide our growth. Our feelings, when understood and channeled properly, are not weaknesses, instead they are our spiritual cues for movement and transformation.
Energy Centers & the Seven Spirits of God
- Verse 13 tells of each creature appearing like burning coals of fire—like lamps. These lights running up and down the body can be understood as our seven energy centers or chakras, corresponding with the Seven Spirits of God.
- Out of these centers comes lightning—a nod to our electromagnetic nature, where hormonal signals are constantly being sent through the body to keep us in balance. Each chakra is connected to a gland in the endocrine system, showing how deeply spirit and biology intertwine.
Wheels Within Wheels, Eyes All Around
- Verses 15–20 speak of "wheels within wheels" filled with eyes. This could represent our sensory awareness, always perceiving our surroundings and signaling emotional or hormonal responses. The "eyes" reflect the perceptive nature of our divine spirit—constantly watching, sensing, feeling.
- Verse 24 describes the sound of wings—a beautiful metaphor for how each chakra or energy center has its own vibration or resonance. If you have one, try placing an activated tuning fork over your third eye or crown chakra and feel the difference—they literally hum louder with vibrational energy.
God’s Glory Surrounds Us
- Verse 27–28 speaks of a brilliant aura surrounding the figure in the vision, "as the appearance of a bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain"—a rainbow. The rainbow is a symbol of the chakra system, with its seven distinct colors.
- This rainbow around us is the glory of God, our spiritual aura. It shines brighter the more connected we are to God.
Revelation 4: The Throne, the Rainbow, and the Energy of Love
Turning to Revelation 4, we see John taken in spirit to behold the throne of God.
- Verse 2–3 describe the throne surrounded by a rainbow, with green shining prominently. Green is the color of the heart chakra, the center of love. And what do we know? God is love. This rainbow isn’t just beautiful—it’s deeply symbolic of divine connection.
- Verse 5 mentions seven lamps of fire, again pointing to the seven spirits of God and their reflection in our energy centers.
- The four beasts appear again in verse 7—lion, man, calf (ox), and eagle—mirroring Ezekiel’s vision and the energy centers/chakras of mankind.
Spiritual Insight: Emotions, Energy & Divine Alignment
What stands out in both Ezekiel and Revelation is the sacred blueprint of the human being. We are emotional, energetic, and spiritual beings. Our:
- Emotions signal when something is aligned or off course.
- Energy centers (chakras) reflect our spiritual health and hormone balance.
- Aura shines based on our connection with God and our emotional clarity.
When our senses take in the world, we respond—sometimes with fear, sometimes with courage, sometimes with grief or righteous anger. These responses are spiritually significant. Our body becomes the temple where Spirit and emotion meet.
Final Thoughts
As you meditate on Ezekiel 1 and Revelation 4, consider how God has designed your body not just as flesh, but as a vessel of light, energy, and divine reflection. Your feelings are not random. Your emotions are sacred messengers. Your aura is your testimony. And the closer you walk with God, the more your light shines.
Let your rainbow shine bright.

Every day, I begin my morning before my family wakes up—with what I call my Empower Hour. During this time, I apply essential oils, balance my energy centers, read scripture, and journal. While some days may look a little different, this is the rhythm I return to again and again.
Today, I felt called to do something a little different. I lit an incense stick and, instead of simply reading the next chapter, I searched a topic: "crystals." This was inspired by a reel I listened to yesterday—and since I use crystals in my work to serve others, I love discovering verses that align with what I do.
The first reference I explored was Job 28, which speaks about wisdom and understanding being more valuable than gold or precious stones—including rubies (which, by the way, is how God describes the worth of a virtuous woman!).
The second reference that caught my attention was Ezekiel 1. It’s one of those chapters you read and think, “What on earth is this talking about?” Ezekiel describes a vision of four beings, each with four faces: one of a lion, one of a man, one of an ox, and one of an eagle.
And here’s where I had a big ah-ha moment.
As an Aroma Freedom Practitioner, I work with the four core emotions: Happy, Sad, Mad, and Scared. Suddenly, the symbolism in Ezekiel’s vision made perfect sense to me:
- The face of a man — representing Happiness, our natural state of connection and joy.
- The face of a lion — representing Fear, or rather, the courage that fear invites us to awaken. A lion heart rises when we are scared.
- The face of an ox — representing Anger, which often arises when our boundaries have been crossed. Like an ox, we must take grounded, steady action. (Ever heard the phrase “bull forward”?)
- The face of an eagle — representing Sadness, a sign it’s time to release what’s weighing us down so we can rise again… and soar.
This connection filled me with wonder. Scripture is rich with symbolism and layered meaning. I’m not claiming this is the only interpretation—but it’s a meaningful lens for me.
Then, in verse 28, Ezekiel describes a bow in the clouds on a rainy day—like the glory of the Lord. This brought to mind the rainbow around us—our aura, our energetic biofield. How beautiful is that?
I’m continually amazed at how the mysteries of God are hidden in plain sight—revealed when we’re ready to see them.
I’d love to hear from you. What insights have opened up for you lately? Let’s grow together in understanding.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to break the stigma, raise awareness, and explore supportive tools that help us feel balanced, resilient, and connected.
One often-overlooked tool in the world of natural wellness is the tuning fork—a simple yet powerful instrument used in vibrational sound therapy.
You might be surprised to learn that tuning forks can do more than just tune musical instruments—they can actually help tune your nervous system, calm your mind, and bring balance to your emotions. Here's how they work and why they're worth exploring for your mental health toolkit.
What Are Tuning Forks?
Tuning forks are metal instruments calibrated to specific frequencies. When tapped, they produce a pure tone that carries vibrational energy. In sound therapy, these frequencies are used to stimulate the body’s energy centers (chakras), acupressure points, or subtle energy fields, encouraging a return to harmony.
Think of it like this: just as we tune a piano to bring each key into harmony, tuning forks help bring your body and mind back into balance.
5 Ways Tuning Forks Support your Mental Health
1. Regulates your Nervous System
Many people live in a constant state of fight or flight. The vibrations from tuning forks can activate the parasympathetic nervous system (your rest-and-digest mode), helping you feel calm, grounded, and safe.
🧘♀️ Clients often describe feeling deeply relaxed and “lighter” after a session.
2. Reduces your Anxious feelings and Overthinking
Certain frequencies (like 528 Hz or 396 Hz) are known to reduce stress, quiet mental chatter, and create a sense of inner peace. 222Hxz plus 144Hz is referred to as the Peacemaker. These tones can help shift the brain into a more meditative, alpha state, easing your anxious thoughts and feelings.
3. Supports gentle Emotional Release
Emotions can get “stuck” in your body. Using tuning forks on acupressure points, chakras, or along the spinal points can help process your grief, anger, sadness, or trauma. The vibrations gently support your energetic clearing and emotional flow.
4. Improves your Sleep and Mood
Regular use of tuning forks before bedtime can help signal your body to relax, promoting deeper sleep and reducing insomnia. Over time, sound therapy may also support more stable moods and emotional resilience.
5. Enhances your Mind-Body Awareness
Tuning forks encourage present-moment awareness, drawing attention to how you feel in your body and where you may be holding tension or emotion. This deepens your mind-body connection and enhances your ability to respond rather than react.
What your Tuning Fork experience Looks Like
During a session (in-person or virtual), tuning forks may be used:
- Over the body(or image of a body for virtual) to balance your energy field
- On meridian or acupressure points to clear emotional blockages
- Near or on ears for direct nervous system support
- Along the chakras to restore flow and balance
- On tight or tense muscles to encourage relaxation and let go
Each session is gentle, non-invasive, and tailored for your emotional needs.
A Gentle Yet Powerful Tool for your Emotional Wellness
Whether you’re navigating stress, emotional overwhelm, burnout, or simply want a deeper sense of peace, tuning forks offer a beautiful bridge between sound, energy, and healing. They’re a supportive complement to other mental health practices like therapy, meditation, or journaling.
Ready to Try It?
If you’re curious about how sound healing can support your mental and emotional well-being, I invite you to book a Tuning Fork Vibrational Wellness Session or try one of my virtual sound experiences.
Let’s bring your mind, body, and spirit back into harmony—one vibration at a time.

Hey there, Beautiful Mighty I AM Presence!
It’s May—Mental Health Awareness Month—and whether you're thriving, surviving, or somewhere in between (hello, cozy middle ground here!), this is your gentle reminder: you are not alone, and your well-being matters more than you know.
Mental health is not just about heavy conversations or dark days (though those are valid and real). It’s also about taking small steps every day that help you feel a little more you. Let’s explore some heartfelt, fun, and slightly unconventional ways to support your mental well-being—some of which I’m thrilled to offer personally!
🌱 1. Soak in Some Sound (Yes, Literally)
Let’s start with one of my absolute favorites: sound baths and/or vibrational tuning sessions. These aren't just buzzy trends—they’re deeply relaxing and proven to help reduce stress, calm the nervous system, and even balance your energy. Whether it’s joining one of our singing bowl meditation or scheduling your own tuning fork session, your mind and body will thank you. (PJs welcome. No judgment.)
🌈 2. Color Your Mood
Colors aren’t just pretty—they’re powerful. I offer Color Light Therapy using my Spectro-Chrome system for support emotional balance. Think of it as a cozy spa day for your nervous system—light-infused relaxation that helps shift your internal weather from “meh” to “mmm ahhh.”
💧 3. Essential Oils for Emotional First Aid
Need a pick-me-up, a calm-me-down, or a “please ground me before I cry over spilled tea”? I’ve got you. Essential oils like Valor, Lavender, and Frankincense are amazing mood supporters. Bonus: I can show you how to integrate oils into your daily rituals or even introduce you to Aroma Freedom Technique—a gentle process that helps release stuck emotional patterns.
💬 4. Talk About It—For Real
Sometimes the best support is a conversation with someone who listens without judgment. If you’re in Nova Scotia and need to talk, here are some amazing local resources:
📞 Nova Scotia Mental Health Crisis Line (24/7):
1-888-429-8167

📞 Mental Health and Addictions Intake Service (Nova Scotia Health):

Help is always a phone call away. You matter.
🧘♀️ 5. Clear the Clutter, Clear the Mind
Did you know that emotional clutter often shows up in physical form? I recently offered a FREE Clear Your Space, Clear Your Energy quest in my FaceBook group From Exhausted to Spiritually Empowered that goes beyond tidying—helping you release your energetic and emotional weight behind your “stuff.” It’s like a Marie Kondo moment, but with Aroma and maybe a few giggles.
😄 6. Laugh. Seriously. Laugh.
Laughter really is medicine. Watch a funny show, swap silly memes with a friend, watch blooper or funny animal clips or join one of my uplifting group sessions where joy is on the agenda. It’s amazing what a good belly laugh can do for your serotonin levels.
🪞 7. Feel your Feels (with Love)
One of the most powerful things you can do for your mental health? Allow yourself, verbally give yourself permission to feel. Sometimes we have been told NOT TO FEEL for so long, that we stop allowing ourselves to feel. That’s why I host Feelings Classes—yep, classes about emotions, chakras, and how to gently support yourself through it all. No shame. Just growth.
💛 Remember: You Don’t Have to “Fix” It All
Mental wellness isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being present, kind to yourself, offering yourself grace and open up to trying and experiment with new tools that feel good. Whether you reach out to a hotline, try a color light session, or take a nap with a diffuser puffing beside you—that’s a step toward your self healing.
You’re doing better than you think. And I’m here for you, cheering you on, every step of the way.
With light, love, and seeing your victorious,
Tammy
