Do you think wellness is expensive? Sickness is more expensive and limits how active we can be in life. I know when I signed up for Loyalty Rewards 13 years ago, I didn't have any extra cash as a single mama raising 5 kids, but I put aside our vitamin budget and transferred it to Young Living supplements. Every month you get free product with qualifying purchase amounts and that is how I started building my wellness arsenal. I never bought anything I didn't use and it kept us out of the doctors offices. If your not sure what to use for the issues you have going on with your health, reach out. We would love to help you learn! We will work one on one with you for free to help you use your products to their fullest potential and see what a difference they can make in your life. When you make qualifying purchases, either on Loyalty or not, you get free products offered monthly. (Loyalty just gets a few more freebies) This month is a great way to get a Free bottle of 15ml Frankincense, 15ml Copaiba and those two alone work wonders in a capsule for inflammation and cellular integrity in the body as well as emotional trauma which many of us are going through. Jump on Loyalty and not only get these items for free, but get up to 25% back in dollar for dollar points to redeem for more free product. Also, when you jump on Loyalty and enjoy it for two months, you get a free diffuser. I have searched high and low for other companies that offer as much free product and cash back as Young Living and I have yet to find it. Move over 2% on Discover, you've got nothing on Young Living.
Do you want a sneak peak to just one of my wellness cabinets at my home? When I grew up there was a medicine cabinet, but my mama in her infinite wisdom taught us how to stay healthy naturally. So now I have chosen to have a wellness cabinet to work preventatively to keep my family healthy. We save on co-pays and time off school and work because we work hard at keeping our health above the wellness line. Below is just one of 3 wellness cabinets in our home! Every one of these oils here bring about restoration and health to every organ in our body from our eyes to our nerves, kidneys, heart, skin and even emotions. Whats in your wellness cabinet?
Check out our gift list below of gifts that are $50 or less to share the gift of health with your family and friends.
Before we get to the gift ideas I want to share some health tips for the coming winter months.
RC - Respiratory and Congestion
R.C. is a wonderful choice with a soothing Eucalyptus aroma for daily wear in public spaces or for children (diluted).
Have you ever used R.C. to soothe a sore muscle, stiff joint, irritated bone or even.... a bone spur?
How about soothing irritating emotions?
HOW TO USE:
• diffuse to ease congestion
• dilute and apply to bridge of nose to loosen mucous
• inhale to soothe seasonal irritation while outdoors
• apply to chest to maintain endurance during exercise
• diffuse during yoga or meditation
• diffuse in steamy bathroom to help ease congestion and promote serene calm while managing cold, or flu symptoms
• dilute and apply topically to soothe sore muscles, joints, bones that are exhausted from daily activity
• apply directly to bone spur to ease discomfort
• dilute and apply to soothe lower back from discomfort during menstruation
NOW, FOR EMOTIONS, AND A SPECIAL NOTE FROM GARY YOUNG:
RESPIRATORY MEMORIES
Where emotions are held, an imprint will start to take over.
This imprint starts to affect the function of vital organs that are associated with our emotions.
1. LUNGS: GRIEF & SADNESS
2. LIVER: HATE & ANGER
3. GALLBLADDER: RESENTMENT & FRUSTRATION
4. KIDNEYS: FEAR
5. SPLEEN: WORRY
“R.C. was the first blend that I made in 1985. What do we use R.C. for today? To take care of all those emotional and respiratory memories of the past that you want to change into good memories and take to a higher level of wellness, purpose, and abundance. All you have to do to achieve that is breathe, breathe, breathe. These are precious and wonderful memories.”
– Gary Young
Sweet Ones, over the years, many of our blends have changed in formulation due to sourcing. Did you know, R.C. is one of the few that remains unchanged since it's debut in 1985.
PAIRS WELL WITH:
• Apply Raven on feet and RC on throat and chest, alternate morning and night.
• Enjoy an aromatic tent of adding the following to steaming water, and then enjoying the aromatic steam with a towel over your head to capture: Raven, RC & Wintergreen.
AROMATIC NOTE: An incredible blend of Eucalyptus that sits in a mix of winter woods with an every slight hint of lavender
Sleep anyone? Who has trouble sleeping when our heads have a running list of to-do's for the holidays, or maybe if the Holidays do not bring good memories for some, a calming roll-on before bed is the perfect option to help your brain stop.
The proprietary Tranquil roll-on contains Cedarwood, Lavender, and Roman Chamomile essential oils. Our lavender is sourced from sustainable and scalable operations, including Young Living lavender farms in Mona, Utah, USA; St. Maries, Idaho, USA; and Simiane-la-Rotonde, France. Roman Chamomile is sourced from our Balkan Botanical Farm in Bulgaria.
If you have experienced loss during this year and the Holidays will be difficult for you and your family, please reach out. We would love to pray for you and help with a listening ear. Having experienced many a traumatic loss, and having just lost my mom this year, we could all use a shoulder to help us get through the next couple months. There are also many oils that help with trauma specifically and we would love to help you navigate that.
My husband started feeling yucky last week. Achy and sinus congestion. We immediately started LOTS of powdered vitamin C multiple times a day and doing modified raindrops (I added Hyssop which is very purifying) 3x a day and then I started giving him 5 drops each of Thieves and Lemongrass and I usually add oregano in a capsule 4x a day. He started feeling better within 24 hours.
I am so grateful for wellness care that doesn’t bring harm to our liver and has no side effects! 
Taking Young Living oils internally are not only safe but very effective especially when you are feeling under the weather. Here is the Amazon link for the bulk vitamin C.

Stocking Stuffers anyone?
Many of you have asked over the last year what I have been doing for my knees since I had torn my miniscus. I have learned the hard way how easy it is to tear your knee cushion when you move to fast, or pivot without thinking, but in the last 9 months I have been researching how to strengthen and hopefully prevent this from getting worse. Supplements I have learned are critical are minerals, and not the cheap kind from Walmart because your body cannot absorb them and they can do more harm then good. MSM for joint and cartilage health and a clean sulfur supplement for joint and detoxification health. My daily mix now includes Young Living Mineral Essence, BLM capsules, and 2 tsp Sulfurzyme. I also include a Knee Blend to topically apply to the knees several times a day, this blend includes Copaiba, Lemongrass and Palo Santo. Palo Santo is specifically known and researched to help knees and it helps the discomfort too. Along with the above, reducing inflammation is key, as where there is injury, inflammation is rampant. Reducing or eliminating processed white sugar, reduce grains, and especially stay away from carbinated drinks which leach the calcium from your bones. Lifestyle changes are always worth the hard work when the alternative is sickness and limitations and although it takes time to get used to, when you implement these changes for 21 days, it would be hard to go back to your old ways because your body will thank you. I would love to help walk with you if you need to make these changes to restore your health. I have had to eliminate a lot of comfort foods over the years and I have learned to replace them with satisfying alternatives. I would love to help you with that too.
We look forward to helping you have the health you desire. Please reach out if you need help navigating your account, signing up friends or family, help with product usage or would like to host a gathering for friends and family.
We hope you have a wonderful Holiday season!

Let the festive months begin! Welcome to our November newsletter!!!! For many of us around the world, these next few months include holiday get togethers with family and friends eating more than we normally would, and enjoying lots more sugar and treats than we should. Make sure to have your digestive tools on hand to tackle the discomfort and inflammation before it starts or when it begins. Having had digestive issues myself the last 14 years, my favorites that I know work, and work well are Essentialzyme-4 (the best digestive enzymes you will ever buy), Peppermint to rub on that bloated belly or better yet to put 5 drops in a capsule and take internally, 4-5 drops of DiGize to put in capsules after a meal that makes your stomach hurt, (good for little ones too), 5 drops of Ginger oil in a capsule after a meal (great for knee pain and inflammation too) Multigreens for smooth moves in the morning and Comfortone to help cleanse the digestive tract. These are always must haves in my home!
If you live near Northern IL, and Southern WI, please come out and join us for two upcoming classes starting next week. Guests are welcome and we look forward to seeing you.
Come join us November 7th at my home for a Raindrop gathering. You will get to see and smell all the goodness that a Raindrop has for chronic health issues, sleep, emotions, discomfort, and wellness. We have an attendee that will receive the Raindrop during the class while we talk about its benefits. Join us and take home a rollerball of goodness. Guests are welcome, just shoot them the sign up link so we know how much space to save! I look forward to seeing you!
I will also be hosting a daytime Sip and Scan where I will be talking about all the benefits of Ningxia Red, having you taste a fun sparkly Ningxia/Zing drinks and giving each attendee a wellness scan to see imbalances in the body. The scan is used widely in the sports medicine field and will show you what YL products will help bring your body back into balance. This is a daytime gathering and children are welcome (no ticket needed for kids, just message me that they are coming so I can have a fun snack for them) Guests are welcome and I look forward to seeing you!
Have you thought of creating a side income with sharing the Young Living products you love the most? If you have any questions, please join us for an informative zoom call with our Royal Crown Diamond Debra Rayburn to have your questions and curiosity answered! Topic: The Read Deal Time: Nov 16, 2023 07:00 PM Central Time (US and Canada) Join Zoom Meetinghttps://zoom.us/j/93872063852 Meeting ID: 938 7206 3852 Passcode: 480939
So, here is the deal......
Are you working toward creating a non-toxic home? I mean, with cancer and chronic pain and illness at every turn, are you ready to make a change? Take your health seriously? Again, get on Netflix or Amazon video and watch Stink! Food Inc! Truth about Cancer! These documentaries will change your world!
Kick the Starbucks and cable and start making your health number 1?
We all get to this at some point. We get sick and tired of being sick and tired! Anyone here every get to that breaking point?
I know I did around 13 years ago when I was having major health issues because of stress. The doc told me I had MS. To go home and prepare for all the tests. My “I’m done “ moment came then.
I had no health insurance and couldn’t afford all those tests and really felt deep down that I didn’t have MS, but that my life was just a ball of stress ready to take me down! (I don’t have MS, sugar and grains were just wreaking havoc on my stressed out, adrenal depleted body). I didn’t want to go down without a fight.
So I took processed sugar and grains out of my diet. BAM, after three weeks of a deep detox, my body was like “I like you again”! 
But there was still that emotional part of all the stress that I just couldn’t let go of and my kids couldn’t either. So I started with Young Living. My story is recorded on our group Facebook education page. I didn’t have any extra money. Like none, zip, nada, zero!!! 
So what’s a girl to do, I saw so many results with these products, but I couldn’t afford monthly oils when I didn’t even know what they were for, so I took our vitamin budget and I started buying YL vitamins from my own account instead of another reputable online company. (Never buy vitamins from the grocery store or Costco......they are filled with synthetics and subquality ingredients that your body many times cannot even absorb so your money goes down the toilet, literally! You see, vitamins were always a priority, so I had them in my budget but now I was just getting them from an even better source that would pay me for ordering them. (on Loyalty Rewards, for every 100 I spend, I get 25 in points that are used as cash, dollar for dollar. I know crazy right??? 
So I joined Loyalty Rewards and bought my vitamins and one oil a month. And you see when you do that, Young Living Rewards you for being a loyal customer. Hence the name, Loyalty Rewards! 
My pictures here may not be Instagram worthy, but they tell a story of how I believe my kids and I are worthy of investment! Investing in our future health affects our now and our later! You may think healthier products are too expensive, yet how much will you be paying for if later in poor health? Also, when you break down the cost per serving of most of our products, they are actually cheaper than you think. Ask us, lets chat and we can do the math together to help you afford what you know your family needs and we can even help you find a way to pay for it! 
See, I experienced how incredible Young Living products were, they are so potent and concentrated and high quality, that I can cut them in half, hack them to make them last longer for my household and still have an incredibly potent product. And I started saving all the FREE products and oils that Young Living sent me in this box here. It fills up and then I use some and then it goes down. It’s a constant flow of taking and receiving!! 
The picture below is all the products we use in our home that are NOT oil related. I mean, they have oils in them, but they are not bottles of oils. These are all products that I would be buying at target or a health food store, and they definitely don’t pay me in free product for shopping with them. And they don’t ship it to my house for half off either. These products are safe, have no toxic load to them and bring health to my cells and are safe for our babies, our toddlers, our teens, our husbands, our moms and grandparents. 
And this picture of oily goodness below is my stash of freebies! I love my stash because it represents my commitment to change my health, to be proactive, to use them daily so I can prevent things from happening in my body and keep my body in the best shape possible emotionally and physically, especially as I age. I mean I have grandkids now and I need to keep up with them!! 
So what are your monthly needs? Bone and joint support? (Agilease) Cardiovascular support? (Cardiogize). Emotional support? (Hope, Stress Away, Frankincense, Orange). Clean beauty products? (Beauty boost, toxic free toothpaste, mouthwash, shampoo, lotions, massage oils and body wash ). We have every product you would buy at target, except for toilet paper, diapers and paper towels. I buy ALL my products from YL and don’t give Target my dollars anymore unless it’s a cute outfit or toy for my grand babies!!! 
Check out our Loyalty Rewards program and start making the switch. Pay yourself in free products like these, instead of paying the big box stores for chemical laiden products that bring harm to your health instead of harmony to your body like pure essential oils! 
Choose health today, tell us what are you giving up! Anyone who emails me one item that they are giving up or switching out, will get their name entered to win a free bottle of Christmas Spirit for our November giveaway!!!!!!!!
Do you need better sleep? I think we all do!
How much sleep do I need?
Most adults need 7 to 8 hours of good quality sleep on a regular schedule each night. Implementing changes to your daily routine and adding essential oils was a game changer for me.
Getting enough sleep isn’t only about total hours of sleep. It’s also important to get good quality sleep on a regular schedule so you feel rested when you wake up.
Why is getting enough sleep important?
•Get sick less often
•Reduce stress and improve your mood
•Think more clearer
•Be happier 
Here are three rollers that are big contributors to a better nights rest for my family.
RUTAVALA
For ALL the sleep support. RutaVaLa Roll-On utilizes a proprietary blend of Ruta, Valerian, and Lavender essential oils. This blend creates a relaxing and calming feeling that is perfect to use during your evening routine to help you wind down after a long day. Although Lavender and Valerian essential oils are well known, this blend includes the less recognized yet efficacious Ruta oil.
TRANQUIL
The perfect Friday night wind-down companion. Tranquil is like a hug in a bottle! The elegant roll-on combines the familiar, comforting aroma of Cedarwood, Lavender, and Roman Chamomile into a blend that is easy to use and even easier to enjoy. This one is probably my favorite!
KIDSCENTS SLEEPYIZE
Don’t let the kids label fool you. This roller packs a punch and will have you sleeping like a baby. The exclusive and carefully formulated blend of Lavender, Geranium, Roman Chamomile, and Bergamot essential oils in SleepyIze helps set the scene for a calm nighttime routine.
How to use these rollers: roll on the bottoms of your feet, nape, behind the ears or on your chest before bedtime.
We hope you have a beautiful month. Watch out for our Black Friday Sales!!!!!! Please reach out if you need prayer, product support, shipping or account information or would like to discuss hosting a gathering in your home to receive a thank you check from Young Living.
Blessings,
Young Living Gold Leader

October is upon us! Can you believe that 3/4 of the year has gone by and we are so close to the Holidays? Its the season of pumpkins, spice and everything nice!
This months education will focus on showcasing the new Holiday products that are launching this Saturday, October 7th and processing through grief and difficult emotions with essential oils and the dangers of synthetics. Having just lost my mom last week, this topic is near and dear to my heart and helping people walk through the same is something I would love to do to help others find calm and healing naturally.
Congratulations to Deb M. for winning our September giveaway of a bottle of Eucalyptus oil. This will be wonderful to have on hand during the winter months to support everything respiratory. I love to use a drop daily on my chest for prevention and several drops on the spine or chest daily, several times a day when distress sets in.
Enter to win a bottle of Gingersnap blend by Jacob and Kate for our October giveway. Just email me your favorite fall activity that you enjoy and one lucky winner will be chosen on October 31st. I personally love apple picking. I just went with my husband and we canned apple sauce and apple pie filling made with coconut sugar for winter. Its one of my favorite things to do in the Fall.
Do you know that statistics have shown that Proctor and Gamble use twice as much essential oil as is produced in the entire world? We have to ask, where are these essential oils coming from? There is more Lavender sold than there is grown, again, this can only point to synthetics bombarding the market. Why is this important? Adulterated oils mixed with synthetic extenders can be very detrimental , causing rashes, burns and skin irritations. Common additives such a propylene glycol, DEP or DOP (solvents that have no smell and increase the volume) can cause allergic reactions, besides being devoid of any therapeutic effects.

When you are assured you have a pure essential oil, you can know that the oils you have in your home are safe for your family from babies, teens, adults and even our pets. Young Living has been the industry leader in essential oils for more than 30 years and being a relationship focused business, you know you can get the education you need when you buy your kit, just by reaching out to those who helped you get started. We all purchased our kits because we desired a change in our life, our health, our home. When you use your oils daily, even just a drop or two, the changes in your body will be evident because pure essential oils bring harmony to the cells, invigorate them, and strengthen them.

Here is an excerpt from the EODR - The Powerful influence of Aromas on mind and body.
The fragrance of an essential oil can directly affect everything from your emotional state to your lifespan. When a fragrance is inhaled, the odor molecules travel up the nose where they are trapped by olfactory membranes well protected by the lining inside the nose. Each odor molecule fits like a little puzzle piece into specific receptor cells lining a membrane known as the olfactory epithelium. Each on these hundreds of millions of nerve cells triggers electrical impulses to the olfactory bulb, which then transmits the impulses to the gustatory center (where the sensation of taste is perceived), the amygdala (where emotional memories are stored) and other parts of the the limbic system of the brain. Because the limbic system is directly connected to those parts of the brain that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels, and hormone balance, essential oils can have some very profound physiological and psychological effects.
The sense of smell is only one of the five senses directly linked to the limbic lobe of the brain, the emotional control center. Anxiety, depression, fear, anger, and joy all emanate from this region. This is why the scent of a special fragrance can evoke memories and emotions even before we are even consciously aware of it. Where smells are concerned, we react first and think later. In contrast, all other senses (touch, taste, hearing, and sight) are routed through the thalamus, which acts as the switchboard for the brain, passing stimuli onto the cerebral cortex and other parts of the brain.
The hypothalamus is one of the most important parts of the brain, acting as our hormonal control center. It releases chemical messengers that can affect everything from our sex drive to energy levels. The production of growth hormones, sex hormones, thyroid hormones, and neurotransmitters, like serotonin, are all governed by the hypothalamus. The limbic lobe activates the hypothalamus.
In studies conducted at Vienna and Berlin Universities, researchers found that sesquiterpenes in the essential oils of sandalwood and frankincense can increase levels of oxygen in the brain by up to 28%. Such an increase in the brain oxygen may lead to a heightened level of activity in the hypothalamus and limbic systems of the brain, which can have dramatic effects of not only on emotions, learning and attitude, but also on many physical processes of the body, such as immune function, hormone balance, and energy levels. High levels of sesquiterpenes also occur in melissa, myrrh and clove oil. (EODR - 1st edition)
The reason I got started with Young Living 13 years ago was because of emotional trauma in our family. It worked then to create dramatic changes in our home, and it has worked the last few days after laying my mom to rest and during the 5 months I helped care for my mom in hospice. The days and especially nights were difficult to care for her but with Cortisop to help lower my cortisol naturally and the use of the oils for sleep, stress, anxiousness, and clarity of thought when she had me up all night were life changing. I don't think I could have done it without them. The loss of my mom, at age 94, has been difficult to say the least. I know so many of you have lost people you love too, grieving is a part of life, not a pleasant part, but something we all have to go through. I am so grateful for not only my faith, but Young Living oils because they have calmed my nervous system down when its overstimulated, they have relaxed my muscles and relieved tension, helped me sleep, woken me up through many stages of exhaustion, and comforted me through helping my brain with calming scents. (Christmas Spirit not only helps boost your immune system but also evokes a sense of security and calm to your brain when diffused or smelled straight from the bottle) Christmas Spirit is one of my top blends when I need to feel comforted and secure any time of the year, not just during the holidays. If you have undealt with emotions, check out our Feelings kit. The protocol that comes with it has been literally life changing for so many people in Young Living that have carried around emotions they have been stuck or that they did not want to process for years. I highly recommend you looking into using the kit for 30 days to see what life changing results you have.
I got started with Young Living because of my feelings and the emotions of my kids. I had just lost my oldest daughter tragically and all the “feelings” in our house were pretty negative to say the least. The days were long and hard with being a single widowed mama and now left with 4 kids grieving the loss of their sister, it was not always joyous!
We’re ready to move when we are tired of where we have been stuck, and I was tired of seeing my kids hurting and feeling like there was no solution. I wasn’t willing to use medications but didn’t know what the other options were until my friend invited me to a class where they talked about the power that’s in our plants and how it could positively affect our emotions and deep down feelings about life and circumstances beyond our control. “No way” I thought can liquid in a bottle do that but when your tired of being stuck where your at and ready to move and change, your up for anything! And so our journey began! Being a homeschool mama I like to test things out and see results for myself and boy did I see results and see many of them quickly. I saw Joy in the face of one child, calm in the countenance of another and for myself, I felt less out of control when I applied these gems daily. I was sold, invested and quickly became passionate about helping others experience the same!
Thirteen years and thousands of members later, I am still passionate about how these sweet little bottles can have life changing results when applied by people who are ready to make a change!

Holiday Spiced Pecans (Soaked & Dehydrated)
Even though this recipe has sugar in it, the nuts themselves are much healthier because they have been soaked and dehydrated first. This eliminates the anti-nutrients in them, making them much easier on our digestion. This is similar to the reasons we soak and sprout our grains first, and/or ferment them. These “anti-nutrients”, or “enzyme-inhibitors”, are what makes them be able to be stored for long periods of time without spoiling. That’s great for storage, but not so great for our digestive systems! So we need to neutralize them first, and we do that by soaking and dehydrating. (See instructions below for “Crispy Nuts”)
Sugar can be substituted for healthy sugar-substitute alternatives, however caution is advised as some of these sugar-substitutes can cause digestive upset in certain individuals as well.
YL Vitality oils can be substituted for the spices (Experiment to your own taste! Start with 1-2 drops. Check for taste.)
Great gifts for anytime of year but especially Thanksgiving and Christmas!
Gift in holiday tins, mason jars, or antique containers of your choice and decorate with holiday ribbon and natural fibers. Soaked & Dehydrated Crispy Nuts 
4 cups raw nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans, etc)
1 Tlbsp Sea Salt
Cover with filtered water
Soak 7 hours or overnight
Drain in colander
Dry - (spread nuts on a stainless steel baking pan and place in warm oven no more than 150 degrees for 12 to 24 hours, turning occasionally until completely dry and crisp.)(We use a dehydrator)
Holiday Spiced Pecans Recipe3 cups soaked & dehydrated pecan halves
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
1 T cinnamon
1/2 t ground cloves
1/2 t salt
1 1/2 t vanilla extract
Heat oven to 275 degrees. Bake nuts for 10 minutes. In saucepan combine sugar, water, cinnamon, cloves, salt. Bring to a boil, cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and nuts. Spread out (quickly) on wax paper or foil. If using Vitality oils, add them when you remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla at the same time.
If you have any questions about product usage, shipping, or if you would like to have your friends and family gather at your home while we educate on how to head on a path of great health, we would love to hear from you so we can make that happen! We always look forward to serving you!

September is here!!!!! Its Fall Y'all! I am not necessarily a Pumpkin Spice and everything nice kinda girl but I am all about Fall/Winter wellness and helping people support their bodies naturally and living with purpose and abundance in health, emotions and relationships.
The topic of this months education is the Raindrop Technique. Have you tried a Young Living Raindrop Technique yet? Do you know it is widely used on horses and farm animals for their wellness? It is used on the Percheron draft horses teams at Young Living. I use all of our oils on our pets, chickens, and have even helped someone use our oils in a fish tank. Pure oils are amazing for helping wellness for babies, pets and all through the ages. (don't try this with cheap oils on the internet or at grocery stores).
If you have not tried it, you need to! My daughter started giving us Raindrops when she was 10 years old. Yes, anyone can do it. You can purchase the Young Living Raindrop kit that comes with paper instructions on how to do it. My daughter would lay us on the floor or bed and apply the oils while she followed the video linked on YouTube below. It is restorative to the bodies cells when you are not feeling well, soothing to every muscle in the body and relaxing to the mind. The image below is of my granddaughter helping me do the raindrop on her aunt. When we let littles use the oils, we just want to make sure we have them wash their hands afterwards and not touch their eyes not because its harmful (the oils are actually amazing for kiddos) but it will sting in their eyes so then you will have to put a drop of Olive oil in their eye to help slow the absorption to stop the sting. It causes no damage to the eye when this happens. It honestly happens to me all the time since I handle oils all day long. Did you know that when you give a family member a Raindrop, not only do they benefit from the oils, but YOU also benefit too. I love giving Raindrops when I teach the classes because it benefits the recipient and the giver! Win win for everyone!
Below is my middle daughter performing a Raindrop on our host while we were on vacation a couple years ago. Our beautiful host was struggling with some major discomfort in her back and we wanted to help her rectify that so that she could sleep better that night. My daughter in this photo is currently a massage therapist but when this image was taken she was in massage therapy school and loved to help people feel better with the gift of touch and the addition of the oils as an added wellness benefit!
I highly recommend getting a Raindrop, I have taught Young Livings Raindrop classes over the years and sharing the benefits are simply amazing. Look up the benefits in your desk reference, there is a whole section to describe the Raindrop treatment and what it entails!!!! If you do not have a desk reference, message me and I will copy the chapter and send it to you. It is filled with incredible information. I will be hosting a Raindrop class coming up at the end of September. Details on time and location to come, keep an eye out in your email!
Raindrop technique is a powerful technique using essential oils that was developed by D. Gary Young in the 1980s. It combines several modalities to bring balance and transformation. It also supports body systems on a physical and emotional level.
The most amazing thing about Raindrop is that all of my clients measure taller (inflammation creates compression in the spine and the Raindrop resolves that and lets your spine extend to its fullest potential) after just one session! I had a military customer struggling with a major fungal infection from being overseas and he volunteered to be the recipient of a Raindrop during a local class on the base. He felt so good and his spine extended almost an inch and a half, and after the first Raindrop they subsequently used the raindrop on him weekly and was able to clear his body of the issues he was struggling with.
What is Raindrop Technique?
This technique involves applying therapeutic grade essential oils to the spine, neck and feet. The session lasts about an hour however the benefits may last up to a week or more.
Gary found that combining several holistic techniques, described below, created a synergistic effect for the body. The three modalities that combine to form Raindrop Technique are:
Aromatherapy – Raindrop technique uses seven single essential oils, two blends and one essential oil massage blend during the session. It is congruent with the French application of aromatherapy where essential oils are applied NEAT (undiluted) to the body.
Vita Flex Technique – Vita Flex was brought to the US in the 1920s by Stanley Burroughs. It is an ancient Tibetan methodology meaning "vitality through the reflexes". Its theory is based on the fact that slight pressure applied to the body creates an electric charge that is therapeutic to the body. This is known as piezoelectric.
Feather Stroking - This is similar to a massage term technique called effleurage. But this technique was actually termed by the Native American Indians.
How does Raindrop get its Name?
Essential oils are actually dropped from about 6 inches above your spine, simulating rain drops! It feels like a rain drop gently striking your spine, and it is very relaxing and comforting.
It is thought that the oils interact with a person's electric field before even penetrating the skin of the back. Thereby, enhancing the electromagnetic properties of the oils as well. Amazing!
What are the Benefits of Raindrop Technique?
There are numerous benefits of the Raindrop Technique. Here are just a few:
Balance and Re-align the Energy Centers of the Body – The combination of techniques brings electrical and structural alignment to the body. The essential oil blend of Valor helps the body align and is often referred to as "chiropractor in the bottle".
Non-Manipulative Technique – No manipulation as in chiropractic is performed. The oils help support the body to come back into harmony by opening energy flow throughout the body.
Reduce Stress and tension - Not only can the oils enhance positive emotions such as joy and happiness, but they can also help us release negative emotions that are subconsciously stored on a cellular level
Aid the Body's Natural Response to Irritation and Injury – Thyme and Oregano support the immune, respiratory, nervous, and other body systems*. They are strong antioxidants.
Eases Muscle Discomfort after Exercise – Muscles that are tense and in minor discomfort due to exercise will also benefit. Basil, Wintergreen, Marjoram, Cypress and Peppermint essential oils may reduce tension. See the section on oils for muscles for more information!
Support Healthy Immune System – Thyme and Oregano essential oils support a healthy immune system*.
Emotional Well Being and Release – Essential oils effect the limbic system where emotions are stored in the "brain's emotional computer".
Help Detox the Body Systems – The oils that are high in phenols may cleanse cellular receptor sites and enhance cleansing of the body.
And many more!
What Essential Oils are used in the Raindrop Technique?
These are the oils that are used in Raindrop Technique! Look up the oils in your desk reference to see the non-compliant uses for oils. They are beyond just a pretty smell that most essential oils are marketed for and create cellular changes in the body and blood. Young Living hasn't been around for 30 years because of a smell, they have the research and function of changing your health that they are famous for.

Valor or Valor II Essential Oil Blend

Young Living sells a Raindrop Technique kit Item #: 3137 $155.75, that gives you 5 treatments at home, and you follow along with the directions enclosed. A treatment in a spa would cost you $110 or more. Its easy to follow along with the video below and do it yourself at home. It is a wonderful way to boost our wellness especially in the winter or when we do extremely hard physical work and all our muscles are screaming. It is one of the best things that my husband likes me to do when he is done with his construction work in the city. He sleeps well, it soothes every muscle in his body and boosts his immune system at the same time. So many benefits to this beautiful treatment and all for an affordable price.
If you are alone and need the support, apply the oils to your feet or follow the chart below! 
Finally, do you have kids going back to school? If you have ever dealt with kids sharing hats and brushes and the consequences of that, you know you would do anything to prevent it. Happy Hair Spray is a wonderful daily spray that your kids can spray on themselves or you can help them after their shower. No need to rinse, just dry or style as usual and do daily to keep the yucky hair bugs away! Make sure to use a glass spray bottle or stainless steal. You never want to put oils in a plastic bottle! Prevention is the best medicine!
I hope this education benefits you and if you would like to host a Raindrop class in your home to watch a live demonstration of the Raindrop being performed, lets connect. If you would like more information on product usage or account and shipping information or assistance, please reach out. We always want to serve our customers well and help you enjoy wellness and abundance in every area of life!
