" As the oils secure our physical health, they provide us with energy needed to penetrate the heart and enter the emotional realm.  Essential oils raise the vibrations, lower energies (such as suppressed emotions) become unbearable.  The body wants to release these feelings. .. It is important to understand that healing is a process. ... Essential oils assist individuals in taking an honest look within ..." ~ Emotions and Essential Oils 

We can’t talk about Emotional Wellness without talking about our limbic system. 

And if you didn’t already know, essential oils are quickly absorbed by smell receptors that directly connect to one of the most powerful areas of the brain: the limbic system. Not sure how powerful our limbic system is? 

The limbic system affects our moods, emotions, heart rate, blood pressure, and memories... so, it's kind of a big deal! Which is why essential oils are so effective to balance your moods, increase your energy, and support your body on a deeper, cellular level.

Adaptiv:

The calming blend, because stress and pressure in our society can feel relentless. In preliminary studies, the scent of Lavender, a main ingredient of Adaptiv, has been found to contribute to an environment conducive to performing tasks requiring sustained attention. Lavender, Magnolia, Neroli, and Sweetgum provide stress-relieving effects while Wild Orange and Spearmint energize and uplift. Copaiba and Rosemary soothe anxious feelings to round out the calming blend. Whether you’re feeling fatigued or restless, indecisive or irritable, Adaptiv Calming Blend is part of the toolbox to help the body and mind to stay balanced.

Balance:

This blend is primarily a combination of tree oils and roots - spruce, rosewood, frankincense and blue tansy. It promotes tranquility, connectedness and well-being and has a powerful effect on the central nervous system. The energy of trees are in the present moment, they are stable, they are not in a hurry... it's this soft energy that helps us reconnect to our own roots and stay in the present moment. Balance helps calm emotions, lessen stress, and it has an amazing effect of bringing you out of your head and INTO your body.

More Resources from Integrated Being:

Our health and energy is key to our ability to serve ourselves and our families.  Our cups must be full to do so.

One of the most important things I have been learning about is our bio-individuality – the core concept that no two people thrive on the same diet or lifestyle.

I want to take a moment tonight and think about how much of our energy is channeled into “fitting in.”  Have we ever tried fitting out?

By fully embracing the unique, intelligent, and creative person you are, you will be much happier and healthier!!
