Smell Away Your Stress

The winter holiday season is filled with powerful smells--cooking, baking, pine needles, candles, a roaring fire... Our sense of smell easily conjures memories of holidays past and the emotions that go with them.
 
That's because two of the places signals from your nose go to first in your brain are your amygdala and hypothalamus, which moderate your emotional and physiologic responses such as body temperature and heart rate. They also go to the hippocampus, which is involved in memory formation.
 
Because of this connection, scent is a potent tool for changing your mood. Scent can relax you, stimulate your appetite, lift your spirits, or calm you down.
 
So when you're stressed, make an herb sachet of chamomile, rose, jasmine, and lavender to brew a relaxing tea or bath. Or turn to the smells of nature to help you breathe deeply and soothe your stress away. Take a drive by a beach or a walk near a golf course.
 
Dabbing pure essential oils on pulse points are a quick and easy way of getting healing scents. Peppermint can relieve motion sickness; eucalyptus alleviates congestion by opening nasal passages; and lavender relieves headaches.
 
To create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere for others, burn a cinnamon or cookie scented candle when party guests are on the way. Or to avoid lots of leftovers, stimulate their appetite with the smell of chicken broth, celery seeds, freshly baked bread, coriander, or bergamot.

So as you enjoy the last bit of 2009, don't forget to use the power of scent to take away your stress and heighten your experiences.

 

 

Open Up and Say "Ah"

Ilchi Lee has often written that energy is light, sound, and vibration. Everything has energy, including humans. Energy of a healing nature can help heal us when we come into contact with it. That's why many people are using sound healing for managing their stress, emotional ups and downs, and other ailments.
 
Amidst the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, many of us try to remember its core values of peace and compassion. One simple exercise of sound and vibration for your heart chakra can help generate and/or increase this feeling and mindset in a simple, natural way:

  1. chest tappingWith your open palms, tap your chest rhythmically.
  2. As you tap, inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth comfortably.
  3. Feel the sensations in your chest caused by your breathing and your tapping.
  4. After a minute, make an "Ah" sound while concentrating on your chest. Let the sound come from your chest and clear any stagnant energy there. Make the sound for as long as you can and then take a breath when you need to. Use all of the air in your chest before you take in more.
  5. Continue deeply saying "Ah" for at least a minute, but you can do it for longer if it is comfortable for you.

This quick exercise will relieve your stress, open your heart, and circulate more oxygenated blood in your body. If you can feel the love in your heart while you do it, you can take the exercise a step further and mentally send that love, compassion, and peace to your friends, your family, your enemies, all the people of the world, and even the earth.
