Our sense of smell is a beautiful gift! Simply smelling the beautiful fragrance of a flower can connect us to our inner nature through gratitude and awe.
Scent is something extra that adds greater enjoyment to everything around us!
The smell of a loved one brings more depth of connection in our subconscious mind. The familiarity creates in us more confidence as we are able to feel comfortable with another.
Walking into a room with sweet smells instantly causes us to notice the space around us and draws our awareness into the present moment. And of course, there is food and the endless memories that flood our mind when our favorite dish is in the oven!
There are so many gifts in this way, they seem to be unnecessary and yet how much shallower would life be without them?
Our nose is a wonderful instrument of breath, bringing life into our bodies through oxygen. Breathing deeply instantly starts to regulate our nervous system and can be a powerful tool when it comes to combating worry, anxiety, and confusion. Inhale through your nose now and get ready to dive into the metaphysical sense of smell!
Climb the stairs and walk the pathways because this is the journey of your life. When all is said and done, what will be the aroma of your lifetime?
It all boils down to identification and self-esteem. Our personal power to define who we are!
When we seek inside, we come up against many blockades made up of false identities. The harder we push and fight against them the louder they scream at us. We must first take a step back in acceptance.
When false identities surface in our awareness, I like to call it “fear’s last stand”. It becomes easier to reflect and re-center if we have also been practicing slowing down and inner reflection throughout our regular everyday life experience.
Same goes for breath awareness, if we are conscious of taking deep breaths on the regular, it will be our natural response to stress when the time comes. Breathing out longer than we breathe in regulates our nervous system and can keep us in contact with the frontal lobe of our brain; this is called the cerebral cortex which governs our ability to respond in a conscious and logical way.
Sometimes the thoughts hold us in such bondage with power that seems irrefutable, yet we ourselves are the one giving a thought power. When we take our power back from where we have scattered our energy, we then have more autonomy.
Each season of life becomes easier; we start to see the cycles of ourselves recurring through time and really start to understand the lessons.
All this begins with offering, releasing the old parts of ourselves. This surrender looks like re-identification. Renewal comes from disidentifying with fear and re-identifying with self-esteem.
The offering in question is our life, our entire life! Letting it arise naturally as we are molded into a vessel of higher use. We listen within, responding to the whispers, and stepping out in faith.
Purification is the bridge and the link to the fulfillment of our desires, dreams, our purpose. We see it clearer and clearer! Then we are able to release control, we naturally begin to shape into of new identity of pure authentic love!
