1 What is Vibrational Raindrop Therapy? A Brief Look Into This Cutting-Edge Practice Ardelle Baldwin, MLS(ASCP) CM and Dr. Peter Hilgartner, D.C. - September 10, 2014 Introduction Research by Dr. Hans Jenny, a Swiss physician and research scientist, and Dr. Peter Manners of England, a fellow researcher and Physician, proved that each organ of the body emits sound at specific frequencies. An important aspect of his research indicated that when an organ is unhealthy or diseased, it no longer emitted its healthy frequencies. They found that by aiming specific, audible, high intensity frequencies of sound at those organs they would be restored back to health. (Stewart, 2013, p.189) In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, Let there be light ; and there was light Genesis 1:1 Sound came first. God s voice spoke into the vast nothingness and created life. Sound is energy in wave form which is measured in amplitudes and cycles per second, its frequency. (Bonds-Garrett, 2012, p.9) Sound waves are made through the transmitted vibration of atoms regardless of whether they are in liquids, solids, or gases. The cells of your body are able to transmit sounds as waves, traveling between atoms. In fact, science has proven that every organ in your body resonates at a specific frequency. Illness occurs when, through cumulative compensation to the physical, emotional, chemical and spiritual stressors of life, the healthy frequencies of those organs are altered or diminished. In Vibrational Raindrop Therapy, we are aiming specific frequencies on very specific points of the feet and spine through the use of tuning forks and essential oils in order to bring 1

2 the frequencies of our organs (ultimately our cells that make up the whole body!) back into a healthy resonance where a state of disease cannot exist. The vibrations of the tuning forks and essential oils cannot resonate with the toxins in our bodies and they are driven out. What is Raindrop? Long before acupuncture was becoming popular in Western medicine, a brilliant eclectic alternative medicine researcher, Stanley Burrows, perfected the ancient Tibetian massage and developed a method called Vita Flex, which means vitality through the reflexes. This Vita Flex technique is based on an electrical charge emitted with a motion of the fingertips on those reflex points. There are more than 1,500 Vita Flex points throughout the body in comparison to only 365 acupuncture points used in reflexology. (EODR, 2011 p. 3.7) 2

3 The term Raindrop Technique refers to a method developed by a naturopathic physician, D. Gary Young, through his research on essential oils and their antimicrobial properties. He traveled extensively studying many art forms of healing all over the world, including those from the Lacota Indians. These people were sensitive to energy and the healing properties it had. They began practicing a light stroking technique along the spine to facilitate the spreading of energy through the body. (EODR, 2011 p. 3.12) D. Gary Young incorporated a similar light feathered finger-stroking technique, known as effleurage, with therapeutic essential oils. In 1989, this process of applying specific therapeutic essential oils in a raindrop style (dropped 6 inches above the spine,) combined with effleurage and Burrows Vita Flex technique along the feet and spine, was embraced and known as the Raindrop Technique. Seven Oils and Three Blends Many therapeutic grade essential oils may be used in a Raindrop session depending on which particular body system or chronic illness may be addressed at the moment. However, the first two essential oils, Oregano and Thyme, should never be substituted. These two oils, being extremely high in phenolpropanoids, digest toxic substances and clean cellular receptor sites as well as kill pathogens. This prepares the cells for the rest of the essential oils that have yet to be applied during the Raindrop session. The following oils are applied during a Classic Raindrop session and their beneficial properties are summarized below: Oregano, Thyme, Basil, Wintergreen, Marjoram, Cypress, Peppermint, Valor (an energy balancing blend of Rosewood, Blue Tansy, Frankincense, and Spruce,) Aroma Siez (a blend of Basil, Marjoram, Lavender and Peppermint) and White Angelica (a blend of Ylang ylang, Rose, Melissa, Sandalwood, Geranium, Spruce, Myrrh, Hyssop, Bergamont, and Rosewood.) 3

Restores equilibrium, creating a sense of balance harmony and wellbeing. Stimulates the hypothalamus, pituitary, and amygdala the control center for emotions and hormone release in the brain. Relieves anxiety, stress, and tension. pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg As you can see from the table above, the benefits of just applying these specific essential oils topically on the feet and spine are numerous. What s so important about the Raindrop Technique is that it s goal is to drive these oils deeper into the body, infusing each cell of one s tissues, organs, etc. A hot compress is applied at the very end of the session to the back to deepen the penetration and enhance the therapeutic benefits. A warm sensation floods the body, gradually feeling almost icy cold due to the peppermint being the last essential oil to infuse through the body. 4

5 The Vibrational Aspect Since 1995, Dr. Christi Bonds-Garrett, developer and author of Vibrational Raindrop Technique, has offered Integrative Medical care to over 6,000 patients, specializing in Women s Health Care for over 15 years. She has brought her patients to a better internal balance by utilizing unique combinations of herbs, essential oils, and tuning forks with western medications. Currently, Dr. Bonds-Garrett has a private practice in the historic town of Paducah, Kentucky and is writing several more books on the application of vibrational medicine and essential oils. She is also a Certified CARE instructor and teaches classes on Raindrop Technique. Understanding our Energy Anatomy and the body s Neuro-Endocrine Centers is not required while receiving Vibrational Raindrop Therapy, however it helps explain why a pair of tuning forks, an interval, is applied to a specific point on the body. For example, during a VRT session, tuning forks are applied to the energy field that corresponds to the adrenal glands, moving upward to the fourth field that is directly related to the thymus gland, and finally to the sixth energy field that corresponds to the pituitary gland. Applying an interval to these points creates a harmonic bridge and flow of energy between the upper and lower body. This is just one of the many sequences one will experience during a Vibrational Raindrop Session. Another powerful interval of tuning forks, called the Major 3rd, 4:5 is applied to the band of muscles next to the spine. The frequencies emitted have a dispersing or dispelling effect, relieving mental and physical stress. During a session, I am able to feel if there is any localized tension, especially in the shoulders and lower back. After applying this interval along the spine three times, I then add the Aroma Siez blend of essentials oils to these areas of tension along with a concentration of this interval. How Will This Therapy Help Me? To many, the concept of the body having energy fields sounds like new age woo-woo. However, modern science has verified and validated the existence and confirmed what acupuncture and other energy practices have taught for over 6,000 years. The benefit for patients receiving Vibrational Raindrop Therapy is an acceleration to their healing process on a cellular level. In a practical sense, VRT will enhance the effectiveness of your nutritional, chiropractic, exercise, and psycho-spiritual practices when 5

6 applied regularly. Most patients find that a series of 6-10 treatments on a weekly basis provides the most benefit. From there, they get VRT on a monthly basis as part of their overall wellness routine. People who follow this regimen have reported better effect from their nutritional protocols, better response to their chiropractic adjustments, improved quality of sleep and an overall sense of improved resistance and balance in the face of life s stressors.
