Adaptive | [Randi's dōTERRA Oil Life Series]

Adaptive

The Adaptive oil is a new blend that dōTERRA released close to my birthday last year 2019! I call it the anxiety oil. They marketed it to be used for anxiety. It is created to be used in a set; the oil which you would add drops to a diffuser to diffuse into the air, the Touch version via roller-ball bottle onto your skin, and the pill form to take internally. I have used all three, although I did not buy the Touch version. I diluted it myself with coconut oil and put it in my own roller-ball bottle. 

I honestly am put at ease when blending a citrus oil with Adaptive. I made my own Touch blend adding Tangerine and called it "Tangziety" to redefine what I was feeling to be of the life-giving essence instead of the stress-giving essence. I have been using it for almost a year now behind my ears basically every day once or twice a day. I liken it to when Spiderman shoots multiple webs to secure something. The more "webs" or tools we use in regards to anxiety (Adaptive Touch multiple times a day, using other oils, diffusing the oil, eating healthy, resting well, meditating, getting other forms of healthy therapy etc.) the more secure we are in each day handling (and detoxing from the) moments of stress and anxiety-producing people and situations. I experienced an amazing affect of felt peace when diffusing Adaptive in an enclosed space by myself (as opposed to an open area where the diffused oil dissipates quickly into the air).

The pills on the other hand take maybe an hour to kick in for me personally. This isn't maybe as helpful if you have an anxiety attack, you don't feel the calming affect until an hour later (going by my personal experience)! I don't know if dōTERRA is expecting us to just use it twice a day and hopefully if the stress and anxiety hits that day, the pill has already kicked in? My oil accountability partner (as I choose to call her now) advised me to go ahead and take two pills a day like normal to notice if I change overall. I have yet to try that yet. I do not remember if I had caffeine each day I used the pill form or not. If I did, that would explain why I did not discern much of a difference as my body does not take to caffeine from coffee/espresso too well.  It is safe to use, but at the same time I don't want to depend on anything. I guess it could be used as a preventative measure? It is a much better choice between something natural from the earth as opposed to chemicals and man-made prescription medications. 

Research

A primary function of the pill form of this natural anxiety inhibiting essential oil is that it also contains a concentrated form of GABA (a natural chemical our brains produce to inhibit too much activity that would cause mood swings, lack of sleep and metabolism etc.) derived from natural resources. The natural foods we could digest containing GABA do not contain enough of the resource to make a valuable difference in our mood. 

"Zembrin, a patented extract of the Sceletium tortuosum plant (Kanna) that was developed by a multi-national team of physicians and scientists, has been the focus of several published studies in the last several years, including three placebo-controlled human clinical studies. Along with examining the safety of its consumption (it has self-affirmed Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS) status in the US), much of this research has revolved around its efficacy in supporting healthy emotional responses to anxiety-inducing events and supporting overall cognitive well-being."

The history of the extract from this succulent originally from South Africa spans for centuries from many spiritual uses and preparation routines before high stress situation like war by chewing on the extract and using it as a tea. This is the primary active ingredient found in the capsule form of Adaptiv.
Each ingredient chosen for this blend was artfully combined to woo the partaker into mood that is comprised of energizing yet calm, soothing yet focused and uplifting yet restful. Please take time to read through these articles to expound more on what has been shared in this blog:

Ingredients of Blend: 

Wild Orange, Lavender, Copaiba, Spearmint, Magnolia, Rosemary, Neroli, and Sweetgum

Dance Devotional Introduction

RandiDancing Devotional Creative Movement Activities to Activate Your Spirit Introduction Every person experiences connection in their own way.  Some can  hear  a song and then immediately be able to play it.  Others can turn the page of a textbook and photograph the information with their mind through  sight , and never need to open to that page again. Still, others must actually touch the equipment and take tactile practice for everything to click. We as humans engage with and respond to life and relationship experiences in different ways. I find that I express more of the height, width, depth and length of my inner life  through physical movement. I was endowed with the aptitude and even felt the necessity to dance rather than being confined to words, singing, tears, laughing, smiling and writing alone.  Dance or creative movement as worship is the idea of giving  all  you have. Most of us will speak, write, thi...

“Silent” or Listening & Processing

My husband and I are one.  His family is my family and my family is his family. We are one voice and one mind and that is of the Holy Spirit who only speaks what Jesus Christ says.  I fell in love with Bradley Cole because of who God is in him. His passion for God’s goodness to fill all the earth, to fill every heart and mind for each persons’ brokenness to be healed for each person to believe in their value intrinsic to them as the crowning glory of God’s creation; black, white, yellow, red, brown... whom Jesus Christ died for innocently with no flaws so that each of Us all human beings worthy of death by our actions would be brought into perfect intimate unity in the family of God. I fell In Love with him for that reason in 2009. I’m In Love with him today in 2020 for that reason. For many reasons with the aforementioned as the cornerstone. Bradley has a book of experiences. He has shared some with me and I have witnessed some and hurt with him as he told me wha...

NightWatcher, You're Ok

 written May 23rd, 2016 Every room is clogged with clutter All your mind is chaotic wonder and now I feel destructive thunder in my soul too. You try to reach me in hope but Your unknown brokenness makes every gesture a joke because I know you’re hurting so now I’m hurting on my own because of you. Your heart’s reality invites my heart to break more deeply I guess it doesn’t happen enough for me to know that it hurts good. But I’ll enter in the mystery of the scary mind we’re haunted by and make your terror mine . We’ll both toss and turn all night at the stern with Jesus Christ. I can’t take your feeling away. I’m not strong enough to breath new life into today. I can’t lead because I follow but we’ll keep our eyes on tomorrow where the winds have died and the sea is calm and all we hear is the most sovereign voice of all. Night Watcher, you’re okay. The fact that you look is perfect enough. The truth that you care means that you’re almost there; the pro...
