To me, there is nothing better than coming home to a clean and fresh smelling house! Especially the scent, having fresh flowers and other items that keep your home smelling delicious can really heal the soul from the everyday stressors that occur. Like mediation, inhaling your favorite scent can really bring you to a blissful state of peace and joy that makes the ending of your daily journey and absolute pleasure.
The sense of smell is the only one of the five senses directly linked to the brain's emotional control center, the limbic lobe. Anxiety, depression, fear, anger and joy all emanate from this region. The scent of a special fragrance can evoke memories and emotions before we're even consciously aware of it. (Where smells are concerned, we react first and think later.) All other senses (touch, taste, hearing and sight) are routed through the thalamus, which acts as the switchboard for the brain, passing stimuli onto the cerebral cortex (the conscious thought center) and other part parts of the brain.
I say all this to say when the day is over, light a candle and use its aroma therapeutic properties to heal any wounds that may have occurred both consciously and unconsciously during your day. Your nose knows how to heal you!
Love,
Victoria
