Aroma Therapy

[Lightkeeper]

Does anyone have any experience with this? Does it work?

I've used aroma therapy to piggyback chakra work and meditation.
It helped get rid of depression (as well as headaches).

Being someone who has a very good sense of smell. It puts me off.

I use it quite frequently...what is it you want to know...or was this just a general question?

Can you tell us what you have used and how it worked?

Now I smell lilacs. I'm so suggestive.

As for me being a women and all... I like to wear perfume. I guess it is the feel of the morning that helps me make a descision as to what to wear. I like vanilla but mostly in the winter it reminds me of cookies and baking.I also like the scent of roses, if it is not overpowering. I wear a perfume called Innis, a Rose, from Ireland. In the fall I like to wear more heady fragrances like musk and hints of orange mixed with a dusky scent. In summer I like ginger and lite citrus, or banna or melon. So I think aroma therapy is a viable practice. Once while entering church at the end of another mass, a young child passed me and said " Ooh I smell pancakes, can we go to the diner?" I was at that moment walking past them and I was wearing vanilla perfume. It was the subliminal power of my perfume's suggestion, that inspired her to desire pancakes. Oh think of the possibilities! Oh that's right, sorry...it's been done.
Certain fragrances uplift me. I just finished cleaning the car and I put essence of lemon oil near the air conditioning vents and it smelled lovely. Just what I need for the Monday morning commute tomorrow. I also put this same essence on the door post and the banister in the hallway. Sometimes in the heat of summer, the hall gets a musty smell, so I decided I would prefer to smell lemons upon decending the stairs in the morning.
Certain scents evoke pleasant memories, so I guess aroma therapy works. It works for me!

I heard the other day on TV that if women smell like pink grapefruit, men think the women are younger than they are. This doesn't work with men smelling like grapefruit.

I think that citrus scents put us in mind of our youth. Perhaps it reminds us of the first time we tasted an orange or watermelon.
For the most part, men don't realize how much scent attracts women to them. I for one do not enjoy the scent of locker room, but the natural scent of a man is enticing. A man who wears cologne, in moderation is always attractive. So here is a hint for all of you men. Put some cologne on, lightly, and just wait for the women to flock to you!
