SMELL - during our in-person workshops we do a blind smell practice. You smell an oil and think what the scent reminds you on without knowing what it is. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our sence of smell is connected to memory and we build up millions of scent memories throughout our life. For example rose might transport to make to childhood or a holiday taken with friends. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can do this at home by picking up a herb, scrunching it’s leaves with your fingers. Close your eyes and smell the oils released. What are the characteristics of the scent? Is it musky, delicate, strong? Does it bring up any memories? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Focus on your breath and the aroma entering your body? How does it make you feel? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
