RDT Session Log Checklist Dear RDT MasterClass graduates...when you send in your 15 logged sessions, your instructor checks the following information on every one of them. Our instructors are sending a lot of Logged Sessions back, because information is missing from them, or the incorrect modification level has been chosen. We would highly encourage you to use the following detailed checklist after each logged session, to ensure you are filling everything in correctly. This will make things much easier for you and your instructor, and will give you the best chance of having your Logged Sessions approved first time around. We are happy to accept any past or present version of the Client History Form, Modification Table or Session Log. However, the latest versions (version 6.1 and above) are what we would ask you to use for all future logged sessions. The following checklist applies to these later versions. If you are working off earlier versions, you will need to translate these instructions across. CORRECT FORMS INCLUDED? Have you included a good quality photocopy of 15 logged sessions (performed on at least 5 different people)? For each person, we require: Client History Form, Modification Table, Session Log and Release and Indemnity Form. The Release and Indemnity Form is required for all sessions performed after June 2011, since the form was emailed to all graduates in March/April 2011. SESSION LOG Is the date listed, and the session number given (eg. Session 1, Session 2, etc.). Is it signed? Have you briefly described the session goals? Have you given details of the body assessment - before and after? Have you indicated the Modification Level chosen? We like to see at least a few lines of notes to yourself under the Practitioner Notes section (that s where you write what you noticed as you were performing the RDT. This can include anything you were aware of in terms of physical changes in the body, anything that was told to you by your recipient, and your perceptions, intuitions and feelings about the treatment. Have you indicated whether there was an increase in height, and by how much? Have you indicated the date of follow-up, and the results of the follow-up? We want to see follow up notes on virtually all of your sessions, to show that you checked in with your recipient after the session to see how they were doing. RELEASE AND INDEMNITY FORM CORRECTLY COMPLETED? Have you included the name and address of the recipient at the top? Have you listed your name under that (and indicated whether you are a practitioner or a student practitioner?) Note that you are a student practitioner until you receive your Certificate of Competence (which is once you have passed all Level 2 assessments, and had your 15 logged sessions approved). Has your recipient signed and dated the form at the bottom? Has a witness signed the form, and written their full name? Whilst we are happy to accept your name and signature as a witness, if you have another person present when these forms are signed, have them witness the signature (as it gives an extra level of legal protection for you).
SKIN TEST RESULTS NOTED? Have you ticked tthe bottom of your Modification Table to indicate the results of the skin test? ie. have you either ticked nil, or have you written L, M or H (meaning low, medium or high sensitivity) next to any oil that did cause a response. PLAQUE TEST RESULTS NOTED? Have you ticked tthe bottom of your Modification Table to indicate that the Plaque test was Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory? If Plaque test was unsatisfactory, please provide details of what happened during the plaque test (eg. client fainted ), and make a note under other key points that you will perform anointing only (no bodywork), and will refer client to their GP. CLIENT HISTORY FORM CORRECTLY COMPLETED? Under Operations in the left hand column, have they provided the date (or at least the year) that each operation took place? Under Mental/Emotional State in the bottom middle column - have they described their current emotional state? And have they written a number to rate their stress? Under Chemical Exposure column (far right) - if they have listed other illnesses/infections in the past 12 months, have you ensured that the box next to it is ticked, and counted as one of the tick boxes? MODIFICATION TABLE CORRECTLY COMPLETED? Working from the top to the bottom of each column of the Client History Form: Have you checked their age? If they are 16 years of age or younger, or if they are over 70 years of age, have you indicated the appropriate modification under Age/Other in the Modification Table? The Modification Table itself gives you details of what level of modification is appropriate for which age brackets. Do they have current blood clots? The box at the top of the Modification Table needs to be ticked (yes or no) and details need to be provided under Specific Conditions. Naturally, you will not perform Raindrop Technique on anyone with current blood clots. Is one of the Important Safety Q s boxes ticked (Blood thinning, High blood pressure, Pregnancy, Epilepsy, Under 5yrs/18mths, Allergic to nuts)? If so, have you listed all avoid / use with caution single oils and blends in the correct columns in the top part of the Modification Table? If they are pregnant, make a note of this also under Special Conditions, and next to it write: Whilst lying on back, will place a pillow under right hip and right shoulder, or will perform with her lying on her left, or sitting in a chair (For your information - this ensures the fetus is in the optimal position, and not compressing the vena carva vein. This would restrict blood and oxygen flow to the fetus). If you are working on a child - make sure you have the appropriate licenses or Government cards, unless of course it is your own child. eg. in QLD a blue card is required in order to perform sessions on children. Check with your State Government for information on this. Have they ticked that they have had a past reaction to essential oils, and have not safely used this same oil in Young Living brand since the reaction? If so, have you provided details under the Specific Conditions section in the Modification Table, so that anyone reading your forms will recognise whether it was a severe reaction or not? Have you looked up the Safety Data Pages from the desk reference to find out all the blends which contain this oil? (To do so, look up the single oil in the safety data pages. The far right column tells you what YL products contain that single oil). Have you listed this single oil, and all the blends containing it, under Avoid in the top part of the Modification Table? If the reaction to the essential oil was severe, have you chosen a Level 2 or 3 Modification under the Age/Other section in the Modification Table?
Have you run your eye over the Operations/Medication section? Are there any indicators that they have had metal rods in their spine, or plastic parts (such as breast implants or pacemaker)? If so, have they ticked to indicate this in the middle column of the Client History Form? Have they listed many recent operations (in the past year or so)? If so, when they tick I have had a general anaesthetic in the Chemical Exposure column, we could consider this a severe situation (due to the number of anaesthetics in a short space of time). In this instance, even if fewer than 3 boxes were ticked in the Chemical Exposure Column, you would need to modify the first session (unless the Detox/ Health Regime boxes are sufficient to counterbalance). If they have had an operation in the last 12 months, have you indicated the month of the most recent operation? If they ve had a single operation, and it was in the past 2 to 4 weeks, then even if fewer than 3 boxes were ticked in the Chemical Exposure Column, you would need to modify the first session due to the recent nature of such a high level of chemical exposure (unless the Detox/Health Regime boxes are sufficient to counterbalance - meaning they need to have done something since the operation to counterbalance it) Have they ticked one of the first 3 boxes under Detox/Health Regime? Have you asked the recipient the 3 important questions: (1) about the intensity of the program (ie. was it a full RDT, or was it an intense 10+ day detox regime, or was it daily ingestion of YL oils ), (2) how they went on it (ie. did they experience any nasty detox symptoms), and (3) whether they ve had any major chemical exposure since? Have you provided details in the Modification Table - either in the few lines above Indepth enough to counterbalance, or in the section under additional details/comments - in order to substantiate that what they did either was or was not sufficient to counterbalance? For example: If they ve been on an intense 10+ day detox regime - to be considered intense enough, it would involve the use of herbal supplements (usually under the direction of a health professional such as a naturopath), or it would have been a liquid cleanse (such as a juice fast or Master Cleanse) for 10+ days, with no significant signs of detox. You would write, for example: 10 day MasterCleanse [and indicate what month they were on it], felt great on it, no detox symptoms. If it wasn t intense enough, still make a note of what regime they were on for your own reference. If they are currently undertaking a detox regime, in their Modification Table have you selected a Level 1 or higher modification for Toxicity? If they ingest YL products daily: Have you written which YL products and oils they are ingesting on a daily basis and the quantities involved? We are only looking for ingestible products here, because topical use (aside from Raindrop Technique sessions) is not sufficiently intense - so just write the things they are ingesting. If they were ingesting oils, but it wasn t intense enough, still make a note of what regime they were on for your own reference. To be considered intense enough, they need to have ingested at least 10 drops of oil a day for at least 2 weeks in the past 3 months, with no significant signs of detox. The ingestible oil supplements such as Longevity Softgels, Digest+Cleanse softgels, Prostate Health and Inner Defense softgels contain approx. 5 drops of essential oil each. OmegaGize contains approx. 1 drop of essential oil per capsule (where the old Omega Blue formula was 3 drops per capsule). This means that ingesting 9 capsules of OmegaGize per day (=9 drops of essential oil) is not quite sufficiently intense. At least one other drop of oil ingested (eg. a drop of peppermint oil added to some NingXia Red juice or water, or on the tongue each day) would be required to bring the overall number of drops ingested to 10 (making it then sufficient to counterbalance). As instructors, we need to verify that they were or were not ingesting enough oil for this to counterbalance - so please show us that you understand, by giving a tally to the number of drops of oil for each item listed. Eg. 2 x Longevity/day = 10 drops, 2 x Tangerine/day = 2 drops
If they ve received a full RDT -- when was it, and how did they respond. Eg. you might write Full RDT 2 months ago, no detox symptoms. We also highly recommend that you confirm with the previous practitioner (if it wasn t you), to know for sure that it was a full session. Most recipients would never get to find out if a session was modified or not...and some practitioners are not trained through Raindrop Australia, so their concept of a full session could greatly differ from ours. If you are unsure, do not use it to counterbalance (and indicate that it s because you have been unable to verify). Do they have a severe back or neck condition? If so, have you detailed this under specific conditions in the Modification Table, and next to it written that you will avoid the Neck Pull, Finger Straddle and VitaFlex Thumb Roll, and that you will perform all other movements feather light? Have they ticked to say that they have a current or past back or neck injury, or scoliosis/rods in their spine, or that they have light to moderate pain in their back/neck? If so, under specific conditions in the Modification Table, have you made a note of the injury/tension/discomfort and next to it written Will exercise caution when working around this area. If they have told you that it s an old injury that no longer bothers them, you still need to make a note of it. It is not possible to know what damage has occurred under the surface, so caution is still warranted. If they have rods in their spine, have you also selected a Level 2 Modification for Age/Other in the Modification Table? Do they have Multiple Sclerosis (MS), or are they Quadraplegic/Paraplegic, or does back pain affect their mobility? If so, have you put details of this under Specific conditions and next to it written RDT will be performed down the spine? If they ticked to say that they can t lie on their back/stomach for up to one hour, have you noted this under specific conditions in the Modification Table, and next to it written what your solution is? (eg. Recipient will start on back, then will roll onto side if needed, or Will perform RDT in chair ). Do they have synthetic/plastic parts in their body? If so, have you indicated this under specific conditions in the Modification Table, and next to it written Will keep oils 10cm away from this area. Have they indicated that they have a current skin rash or skin lesion? If so, have you made a note of this rash and its location under Specific Conditions in the Modification Table, and next to it written Will avoid placing oils on top of rash. Have they ticked that they have a strong aversion to the cold? If so, have you ticked the Sensitive to the Cold box under Specific Conditions, and have you written a number less than 5 in the box to the right (ie. for the number of drops you will use on their back?). Are they currently taking antidepressants, OR do they suffer from depression, OR have they indicated that they are currently highly emotional OR have they indicated that they are highly stressed or suffer from anxiety OR have they given themselves a stress rating of 7 or more? If so, have you made a note of this under specific conditions in the Modification Table? Have you selected a Level 1 Modification for Emotions in their first session? Do they have a diagnosed mental illness? If so, have you made a note of this under specific conditions in the Modification Table? Have you selected a Level 2 Modification for Emotions in their first session? CHEMICAL EXPOSURE On your Modification Table, in the Chemical Exposure/Detox section (bottom left): Have you correctly added up the number of tick boxes in the Chemical Exposure column (including any ticks that you have placed next to other illnesses/infections that they have listed), and written this tally on your Modification Table where it asks number of boxes ticked in Chemical Exposure column?
Have you put an answer in the box that says Are there 3+ boxes ticked OR less than 3 but severe or recent? Have you ticked to indicate whether any of the first 3 detox regime boxes are ticked, and have you comprehensively filled in the details of their YL regime or Detox regime or RDT history? Have you ticked to indicate whether the regime or RDT is indepth enough to counterbalance...based on the various questions we teach you to ask? You MUST MODIFY if it is not indepth enough to counterbalance, and there have been 3 or more boxes ticked, or one which is particularly severe or recent. CHOOSING YOUR MODIFICATION LEVEL Have you chosen the correct Modification Level for Toxicity, Emotions and Age/Other? These options are clearly explained in the Modification Table (version 6.1 or above), to help you make the right selection. If their Client History Form is ticked to say that they ve had a past reaction to essential oils (part way down Left column), or to natural therapies, bodywork, chemicals or pharmaceuticals (part way down Right Column), have you provided details under Specific Conditions in the Modification Table? If it was severe, have you selected a Level 2 or 3 Modification for Age/Other? Based on the Modification Level chosen for Toxicity, Emotions and Age/Other, have you then chosen the higher of these 3 numbers and ticked that in the Conclusions - Session 1 boxes? If you have performed more than one Raindrop Technique on this recipient, have you appropriately ramped up or down your modification level based on the results of the previous session? If you haven t ramped up after each session, have you provided details of why you chose to stay at the same Modification Level, or ramped down (eg. from a Level 1 to a Level 2)?
