The version of Raindrop upon which this book is based is the one Gary Young taught is Dallas in 2000. It is also the one taught by the Center for Aromatherapy Research and Education (CARE). It is referred to in this book as the "Classic Raindrop". The additional oils, outside of the 9 oils of the original Raindrop, are also Gary Young's ideas. These oils are listed in the Essential Oil Desk Reference while their sequence and manner of use are not given. It was Dr. Bonds-Garrett who researched their various chemistry and vibrational characteristics to create the protocols for their applications, as presented in this book. Dr. Bonds-Garrett is a medical doctor with certifications, internships, and residencies in psychiatry and family practice. She has also been a licensed homeeopathic physician and is a practitioner of Chinese herbal medicine and reflexology. In addition, she is a Fully Certified CARE Instructor and well experienced with the applications of essential oils in her years of clinical practice. No one could be more qualified to develop Raindrop and bring it to new levels than Dr. Christi Bonds-Garrett. What you have in this book is a gift of 12 types of Raindrop Technique, all based on the Classical Version, that address specific systems of the body. These 12 protocols, originated and researched by Christi, use different assortment of oils for each application. These protocols also employ the frequencies and vibrations of tuning forks that resonate with your body's systems and stimulate their healing and balance. Through this book you now have a way to apply healing vibrations from the intrinsically high frequencies of essential oils and the actual vibrations of physical sound through tuning forks. Combining the two modalities, Dr. Bonds-Garrett has discovered and developed a set of powerful and new therapeutic protocols to address every body system in specific, targeted terms. Thus, the name "Vibrational Raindrop Technique".
