All the senses affect us, and all our senses can help us find peace.
Scent is important. An aroma can evoke feelings, good or bad, and can contribute to our feeling fearful or at peace.
Scents can call up memories of early events and bring back the feelings of another time. The smell of bread baking does this for me. My grandfather was a baker, and when I was young we would visit him at work. He would take a loaf of just-baked bread from the cooling room, bring out a stick of butter, and we would have a wonderful treat. To this day, the smell of bread baking brings back those memories for me.
There are many ways to experience scents that make you go “aaah”. Flavored coffee and tea have a soothing aroma. Scented candles and oils can bring fragrance to your home. For a fast way to have great smells coming from your kitchen, you can buy refrigerated cookie dough and bake some cookies.
Do you have pleasant memories of wonderful smells? Or is there a scent that just makes you feel relaxed?
Today, experience a scent that makes you feel peaceful.
