Have you ever thought about how important our sense of smell is? 

A smell can be our first & biggest impression of a person, a place, a situation or emotion. 

Smells trigger reactions: -

• nice aftershave v body odour 
• the sea v a stagnant pond
• lavender v compost heap
• you’re brought round with smelling salts after fainting
• some smells turn your stomach 
• some smells make you realise you’re hungry
• you know when bread has been freshly baked
• you know when your dinner is burning.
• you know when the grass has been cut 
• you know when someone has passed wind! 

Smells trigger emotions: – 

• they can remind you of someone you know or love 
• smelling burning makes you feel danger
• everyone has smells they like
• everyone has smells they dislike.

So why do we think that smells can’t trigger other emotions?

• Confidence? 
• Happiness? 
• Determination? 
• Peace? 
• Creativity? 

What if they can? 

The sense of smell (olfaction) may be one of the most important senses for overall health. Smell has a unique relationship with memory & emotions that is unmatched - smell activates specific areas of your brain reigniting memories & emotions – these are called “scent memories”. 

So what if you recite a mantra each day after smelling a nice aroma? & what if this mantra is helping you to get over an issue that is causing you dis-ease, unrest?

Then every time you smell that nice smell the “scent memory” will trigger the sentiment of the mantra – so if the mantra is about confidence, each time you smell the aroma associated with self-belief will you not feel more empowered? 

If the mantra is about dealing with grief would the aroma not make you feel stronger? More able to cope? 

Motivation more committed? 

Emotional healing more self-esteem? 

What if these nice smells were blended to aid the purpose of the mantra, that you can carry them with you to use when needed 

What if the mantras were mini meditations? & they were coupled with Archangels & crystals? Would you be open to giving it a try? 

If the “scent memory” triggers not only the sentiment of the mantra but also gets you help from above, will that not make the smell more powerful? 

Will if using holding a crystal when reading the mantra? will this not promote the flow of good energy & help rid your mind & body of negative energy?

Oil blends + meditation = scent memory.

Scent memory + Archangel + crystal = help, support, guidance.
