Reclaim Your Lost Sense and Reconnect

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Dear Reader,

Aromas, which I call the Molecules of Connectedness, have brought us together. For example, you've found out about our work and signed up for our newsletter. You appreciate that aromas bypass the intellect, and open doors to your individual unconscious and the collective unconscious. In our work and in us connecting, we're being guided by aromas, even if our egos think we're in charge.

Nevertheless, we hear from a lot of people who tell us "When I smell an aroma, I just don't have the same experience that you talk about." If that's the case, don't give up. We hear you. We've realized that just telling you to smell an aroma isn't enough. Learning to smell and connecting with an aroma soul-to-soul takes practice and guidance.

Therefore, we've decided to offer monthly Aromatic Journeys. In these live-online gatherings, we'll focus on journeying or meditating with a different essential oil each month. Each gathering is two hours, which gives us plenty of time to journey and share.

The sessions will be recorded and available to participants, so you can revisit the guided journey and practice on your own.

We hope that a committed group will gather and together we can deepen our relationships with many powerful oils.

My sense of smell has gotten better from smelling essential oils habitually. Having a roadmap for the psyche has allowed me to experience aromas more deeply, bypassing my intellect.

Scent reconnects us...to the parts of ourselves our ego has tricked us into neglecting, to each other, and to plants who evolved these molecules of connectedness. Re-connection helps us overcome wetiko and the dissociation of modern life.

Through this practice, you will be able to reclaim this inate gift and use it in your life and work.

We hope you can join us!

Dear Reader, The subject of older women has gone from being a no-go topic, hidden away in the privacy of ageing women’s psyches, to being a hot-off-the-press conversation. I’ve been working with women going through menopause since 2017 and listening carefully to the conversations being had in the media, on podcasts, in books, etc. And I’m worried. I’m worried, because I believe the journey to elder-hood is at the risk of being ‘cashed in on.’ By this, I mean that it's not taken to the depths...

Dear Reader, We're all familiar with the idiomatic expression "Sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees," which to me means we're too close to, or immersed in a subject to see the bigger picture, to get an outside view. In my lateral thinking, the next thing that pops up is the opening of Dante's "Divine Comedy", (written over 800 years ago, and yet still so relevant to our modern experience): "In the middle of the journey of life, I came to myself, in a dark wood, where the direct...

Dear Reader, There has been a virtual explosion of interest in psychedelic therapies, from both health practitioners and people in general. For health practitioners, in particular those who focus on 'mental' or 'behavioral' health, there is enthusiasm because of the promise of a new treatment, which is, on a mostly unconscious level, a reaction to the fact that most of the previously existing treatments, including medications and therapies, don't work for that many people. On the one hand,...
