Advanced Bodywork Techniques Module 4-B                  
(30 contact hours)

Neuro-Application Technique (NAT)


Neuro-Application Technique (NAT)
(was initially called Neuro-Auricular Technique)
​This new addition to our program teaches some advanced techniques in body work.

D. Gary Young originally developed a procedure specifically to address Parkinson's disease called Neuro Auricular Technique (NAT). He has taught several variations of NAT- and now Dr. DeVita will be teaching all 3 variations - with the updated name of Neuro - Application Technique.
This is the first time that this material will be revealed as part of a certification program.
The first time it was taught in Quito, Ecuador 2005 and focused mainly on neurological issues and Parkinson's. The focus for the technique is in the upper back to neck area and not the 'ear' points as indicated by the name 'auricular'.

The second version was taught in Guayaquil, Ecuador in 2008 for emotional releasing and not particularly for Parkinson's.

The third version was taught in Guayaquil, Ecuador, 2009 and is a variation of both emphasis - using the Roll - on essential oils as an acu-point locator.


Here is what is covered in this 3 full-day intensive course:
Advanced raindrop technique
Coccyx or tail bone correction review
South American healing traditions
Neuro - Application Technique for emotional issues
Neuro-ApplicationTechnique (NAT), an advanced form of Raindrop, is a specific upper back and neck technique (discovered by D. Gary Young) using essential oils to jump-start and reconnect all of the synapses of the brain and upper spine, particularly in the locus coeruleus and vagal ganglia.
The technique is applied along the occipital ridge, particularly focusing on the medullar area (centre depression at base of skull) and along each vertebra of the cervical spine (the 7 vertebrae between the skull and shoulders that comprise the neck) by applying specific oils with an acu-pointer.

The locus coeruleus is a mass of more than 1000 nerves at the base of the brain, highly pigmented as a bluish bundle of nerves. Hence, its name: “Locus” means “location.” “Coeruleus” means “sky blue.”
The locus coeruleus is the central switching station of the body.
 Every nerve impulse controlling our voluntary muscles as well as our organs passes through this master control station. A principal purpose of NAT is to make sure this vital nerve junction is fully functioning along with the rest of the brain.

Another purpose of NAT is to fully awaken and restore full capacity to the locus coeruleus and vagal ganglion at the base of the brain and to connect all of the synapses of the brain and upper spinal cord, thus creating an environment that facilitates optimal health, healing, and bodily function.

It is a very potent therapy that Dr.Gary Young discovered to have very profound healing effects - in particular with Parkinson’s, other neurological disorders, depression, sustained stress disorders and other mental and physical health states.

This course will further the student to use more advanced techniques in the use of essential oil therapies beyond Raindrop Technique™. Raindrop Technique™ is recommended as a prerequisite.
The course covers:
  1. The understanding of the nerve centres and the many neurological disorders that originate from these centres that could potentially benefit from NAT.
  2. The physiology in relation to clinical depression, panic disorder and anxiety. The locus coeruleus is responsible for mediating many of the sympathetic effects during stress. NAT is another potent emotional clearing modality.
  3. The steps in application of NAT
  4. The essential oils best suited for NAT- will include the new formulas and Rainforest Amazon oils
  5. How to utilize this method in one’s practice
Includes a 14 page handout - with full explanation of the 3 versions that have been taught by Gary Young in Ecuador along with the list of recommended oils for each of the procedures.
