So another thing I like to use for meditation is aromatherapy. You can use oils. I've got oils but I've decided today to use incense. Since the olfactory nerve is the one that goes to your brain the quickest out of any of the senses. Out of the touch, the taste, and the see, and the hear, and all of that stuff. The olfactory sense is the one that reaches your brain the most quickly. I know that you have, somewhere in the recesses of your memory, those smells from when you were a child. Apple pie, grandma's house, all of those things and they all conjure up images for us. Now, you can use anything you like. There are also specific oils and incenses that are made to conjure up certain responses in the body or the mind. This is my house blessing incense, I just recently moved into a new house. This has lavender and amber and all kinds of amazing things and it makes me feel very much that I'm doing something proactive to make my house a wonderful place to be. So, I am using it for a meditation right now. All I'm going to do is I have my incense bowl, I've set the herbs burning and I'm just going to sit in silence, taking a few deep breaths, inhaling and exhaling. If I feel like it I might say a few words, I might talk a little bit to myself about my intention or I might combine a breath meditation or a mantra meditation in with this aroma therapy moment that I am having here. Otherwise, I am just going to sit. I am going to allow myself to fall into this sweet scent of the incense and see what it conjures up. You try it, see what happens for you.
