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?

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.

Stress and sleep are deeply connected. When stress levels are high, falling and staying asleep can become a challenge, leaving you feeling exhausted and overwhelmed.
by prioritizing stress reduction you can help achieve deeper, more restorative sleep, leading to improved energy, mood, and overall well-being.

Here are some holistic ways to ease stress and improve your sleep quality.
1. Create a Calming Nighttime Routine
Establishing a consistent nighttime routine signals to your body that it's time to unwind. Consider incorporating activities like reading, taking a warm bath, or practicing gentle stretches to ease tension and encourage relaxation before bed.

2. Use Essential Oils for Relaxation
Aromatherapy is a powerful tool for reducing stress and enhancing sleep. Essential oils such as Lavender, Stress Away, Roman Chamomile, and Cedarwood can be diffused or applied topically to promote your sense of calm. Young Living’s Tranquil Roll-On is a great option to support relaxation before bedtime. Simply roll along bottoms of your feet!
3. Practice Mindful Breathing
Engaging in deep breathing exercises can help activate the body’s relaxation response. Try inhaling deeply for four seconds, holding for four seconds, and exhaling for four seconds. This simple practice can ease tension and slow your heart rate, making it easier to fall asleep.
4. Reduce Screen Time Before Bed
Exposure to blue light from screens can interfere with melatonin production, making it harder to fall asleep. Aim to turn off electronic devices at least an hour before bed and opt for calming activities like journaling or meditation instead. If you must use, add in blue light blocking glasses.
5. Try Herbal and Nutritional Support
Herbs such as valerian root, passionflower, and chamomile have been used for centuries to promote relaxation and better sleep. Additionally, Young Living’s SleepEssence supplement combines essential oils with natural sleep-supporting herbs to encourage restful sleep.
6. Engage in Gentle Movement
Light exercise such as yoga or stretching can help release built-up tension from the day. Focus on slow, intentional movements and deep breathing to calm the nervous system and prepare your body for rest. I really enjoy slow Yoga stretches before bed.
7. Set a Consistent Sleep Schedule
Going to bed and waking up at the same time each day helps regulate your body’s internal clock. A consistent sleep schedule strengthens your circadian rhythm, making it easier to fall asleep and wake up feeling refreshed. I used to dream of sleeping in, however since choosing to wake up before my family. I have discovered some valuable "me" time, I wouldn't get otherwise.
8. Create a Relaxing Sleep Environment
Your sleep environment plays a crucial role in sleep quality. Ensure your bedroom is cool, dark, and quiet. Consider using blackout curtains, white noise machines, or diffusing essential oils to create a peaceful atmosphere. I especially love my sleep space being cool, too hot and I toss and turn.
9. Practice Gratitude and Positive Reflection
Ending the day with gratitude can shift your mindset from stress to peace. Take a few moments before bed to reflect on positive moments from your day, write in a gratitude journal, or say a short prayer to center yourself. Instead of counting sheep, count your blessings!
Start Your Journey to Better Sleep
By incorporating these stress-reducing techniques, you can create a healthier relationship with sleep and wake up feeling more refreshed. If you need personalized support in incorporating natural wellness practices into your routine, I’d love to help. Book an in-person or virtual session, and let’s work together to support your journey to better sleep.
