Vita Flex Technique

Vita Flex technique is a powerful ancient Tibetan transformational methodology brought to the US in the 1920s by Stanley Burroughs. It is a very effective method used alone or with other modalities.

It has a synergistic effect when combined with essential oils as in the Raindrop Technique. And it can be used to support all the body systems.

What is Vita Flex?

Vita Flex technique was developed by the Tibetans thousands of years before acupuncture. Its literally meaning is “vitality through the reflexes”.

Its theory is fascinating. And the premise is that slight pressure applied to the body creates an electric charge that is therapeutic to the body. This is known as piezoelectric.

The pressure comes from the fingers. A rolling motion of the finger pads, tips and nails, creates the stimulation similar to how an electric switch or circuit works. The technique is applied to the various reflex points of the body.

To see the various points on the feet, look at the Vita Flex Feet Chart. You can also print this for reference.

How does Vita Flex Work?

When done correctly, the electrical energy that is produced during the technique transfers to the nerve pathways. Once the energy finds a gap in the circuit, it repairs the break in the pathway that is creating the imbalance in the body.

An analogy is offered here for my readers. If there is a short in the wire along an electrical circuit that is controlling a light, the light would not function. When the short is repaired, the circuit would “reset” and the function would be restored!

What Does this Have to Do with Essential Oils?

We know that essential oils also contain electromagnetic properties. Therefore, using essential oils with vita flex enhances the process that much more and drives the oils into the corresponding reflex points. That is why it is combined with the Raindrop Technique as well.

We can choose oils specifically for the challenge we are experiencing. We will talk about this more in the sections that follow.

What are the Benefits of Vita Flex Technique?

There are numerous benefits of the Vita Flex Technique. Here are just a few:

Bring back balance to the energy pathways in a non-invasive manner.
Work on supporting our healthy body systems
Reduce stress and tension in the body.
And many more!

How is Vita Flex Technique applied to Different Body Systems?

These are several different ways to apply vitaflex technique besides the application in Raindrop Technique which primarily involves the feet. They are listed below.

Oil recommendations that may be used in conjunction with this technique are:

How is Vita Flex used to Support a Healthy Respiratory System?

Vita flex is applied along the lung reflex area on the feet. Then we use vita flex between the bones and ligaments of the feet.

Oil recommendations that may be used in conjunction with this technique are:

Switch them up and rotate for best results.

How is Vita Flex used for the Head and the Brain?

Vita flex is applied on the head and brain reflex area on the toes. Also, there is a procedure that you perform on the head that feels wonderful! Many people have had great success with this for releasing stress and tension in the head and neck area.

Any oils the client would like to hold while working on the head is fine. Oils may also be applied to the head.

Here are a few suggestions:

What is the Healthy Heart Vita Flex Technique?

These procedures are hard to explain in writing. However, vita flex is applied to the left arm and hand on the heart point back and forth in rhythm. The second procedure is just applying vita flex to the heart reflex point below ring toe on the left foot. Aroma Life is my go to oil.

Any oils the client would like to hold while working on the head is fine. Oils may also be applied to the head.

Here are a few suggestions:

What is the Ear Vita Flex Technique?

This is a very lengthy and specific procedure that involves ten steps. If you are interested in learning it (or the other procedures), I suggest that you get the Applied Vita Flex DVD, demonstrated by David Stewart at CARE. This will show you exactly how to do it. Vita Flex notes as well are provided with the DVD.

Or purchase the Healing for the Age of Enlightenment by Stanley Burroughs for a complete understanding and description of all techniques.

Here are the oil suggestions:

Helichrysum essential oil is my oil of choice.

What is the Lymphatic Vita Flex Technique?

There are three different procedures that can be used here.

Lymphatic Pump – This is similar to the action of the foot as if one were walking. Oils are not normally used during this technique.
Thumb Vita flex – This is also known as thumb rolling where the maneuver is applied to either side of the spine.
Saw Maneuver or Finger Straddle – saw maneuver where the fingers slide up the spine in a sawing fashion.

The saw and thumb vita flex maneuvers are used during the Raindrop Technique.

Suggested oils are listed below:

How is Vita Flex Technique used for Hip and Atlas?

This is an interesting procedure where thumb vita flex is applied to the hip/atlas point at the collar bone.

This can be done with or without the oils. I like to use Valor essential oil on the reflex point before I start. If a client has some minor muscle tension here are a few suggestions:

Are there any Side Effects?

Because some of the Vita Flex maneuvers can encourage detoxification of the body, someone may experience some mild side effects. The best advice is to drink plenty of water before and after a session.

Do I need to be Certified to do Vita Flex Technique?

No you don’t. But if you are interested in learning I do suggest that you take a class so you can actually see the techniques being done! Plus it is a fun class to participate in!

But to do it professionally it is best to become certified through CARE. There is also a link to the CARE website on the Raindrop Technique page if you would like to learn more!
