Did you know that a proper Raindrop Technique starts with your feet? Using the practice of reflexology, you begin applying this collection of essential oils along the bottom inside of the foot, the instep. You start at the heel and move your hand along the foot and up toward the big toe.

This isn’t as difficult as it may sound. First, make sure the receiver is lying with face up. To begin you’ll want to apply those oils to your fingertips. To do this, it’s easiest to put the oils in the palm of the opposite hand that you’ll use on the foot and then rub your fingertips into the oil. Then align yourself next the the receiver so that your right hand is next to their right foot. (You will be facing toward the receiver.) After you’ve figured out how to position yourself, just place your hand, palm down, on top of their foot with your fingers gripped around the inside. Your fingertips should be touching the instep of their foot right above their heel. Continue to keep this hand position as you gently work your fingertips toward and off the big toe.

Then switch to the other side and repeat the process.

You will use all of the essential oils on the feet first before you apply any to the back. You’ll be surprised at how much this can actually relax the back of the receiver!
