The students met with Lilja and Gitte to receive part of the Essential Oils Therapist Training. It was a fragrant, harmonious and healing experience as most of the day was devoted to learning the Raindrop Technique and giving and receiving sessions. It was amazing to watch the students go into a quiet, deep, slow and respectful healing state-of-being for giving the Raindrop treatments.
Farida developed the Divinity Touch method for giving treatments to allow the client to enter deeply into a state parasympathetic relaxation that engages the clients own innate healing resources and allows profound integration of the treatment on a very deep level.
The rest of the day was about the essential oils for daily use. We will meet next in March for advanced Raindrop technique (yumm!) and to learn more about the chemistry and use of the oils.

A unique feature of Heilsumeistaraskólinn ( School of Natural Medicine in Iceland) is that all students start with a 3 months naturopathic Self-Healing Program, a program that includes all the things we teach in the school. We asked everyone for a report and here they share their experience. It's truly inspiring - and in some cases funny. Enjoy!
“Since the 20th of August I have been totally devoted to this purification diet. That is for nearly 6 weeks now. Honestly it has not been hard at all…. Since I have decided to follow this program I’m doing it with style and grace. Actually, I’m very proud of myself for sticking with it - it’s quite an ego kick…. My lungs feel so much better almost as if I have a brand new pair - amazing. Plenty of energy all day long. Waking up as soon as I wake up in the morning without 3 cups of coffee…. The silhouette has changed for the better the belly is not as huge nor the double chin. There have been a few strange things happening, though, like flash-backs from past conditions rather, each one only lasting a short time, couple of days or so. For example dizziness, inner ear unbalance (used to bother me many years ago), mouth ulcers or sores, face skin blemishes, dry spots on elbows, very hot and red ear loop, stiff fingers in the mornings only for a minute or so. That’s pure detox for you!”
“I've been on track, except for one occasion where I gave in - to a hot dog ( in an emergency situation - and by golly did it taste bad! I didn't want to finish it - I guess my sense of (food) taste is getting more sophisticated and healthy.”
“The first 2-3 days when I started the self healing program I felt very tired, but after that I felt I had more energy than I had before. I have felt great and more relaxed since I started the self healing program.“
“I have lost 5 kg, my skin and hair are in better balance (less hair loss), elimination is more often, blood glucose-balance, the womb is not so swollen and I have much more energy now, less tired.. I have noticed less body smell from the entire body….More positive and open to my feelings.”
“I FINISHED one month on Mono…. I attended 2 parties, 2 days in a row, the first was with meat soup and I was allowed to go first in the pot and I fished out the turnips and it was great and when the pavlova (my favorite) came, I had only one and half organic apple. The next day my sister-in-law had a birthday with pizzas and cakes, I asked for carrots, they were served in a beautiful bowl with water in glass, and the admiration I got from my family felt good…. I am still drinking the liver cleanse drink, lovely and have already finished 2 weeks of castor oil pack…. Today as I write this: 10 kilo have left me and my husband, darling Doddi, has been with Lilja for a Self-Healing consultation and has started on the herbs, and just now we had our first green soup (a thick one) and we looked at each other: It was good!!! That was an amazing surprise. Love to you all.”
“…love the castor oil packs and the colon massage, I would like to wrap myself into the ginger packs but I let the kidney area do:-). The Epsom salt baths are an addiction as the dry brushing of the skin. The oils are a delight for me and I use them whenever I can. Making lots of raw food dishes in my kitchen and I think that I cannot live without the herbs and the slippery elm. I put the herbs in water, lemon juice, 2-3 drops lemon oil and a dash of cayenne pepper.”
“I think I’m gonna like this new lifestyle a lot, I have been eating mostly greens since 10th of August, did mono meals for about a month and lost 4 kg. Monomeals suits me fine during the day at work. And drinking that green stuff in the morning. Taking my herbal pills and doing epsom baths....I just luv that!.... My bloodpressure has changed from 140/90 to 130/83. Yeahh. Yippeeee. I don’t feel as tired in the morning when I get up......don’t exactly jump from bed....but its a whole lot easier. Best is though I don’t feel so much muscle pain and stiffness and I’m not so tired after work.”
Tarah has been in the school about five years, highly motivated to complete her studies quickly until she opened to the self-healing evolutionary journey, enjoyed exploring and becoming an Anusara yoga teacher, building a yoga studio and teaching practice, co-creating a web based aromatherapy company, Ananda Apothecary with her husband, & becoming the personal trainer of Sakyong Rimpoche, head of the Shambala Spiritual Tradition, along the way.
