When we connect to the world through the senses, we connect to what is happening here and now – the warmth of the sun, the wind in our hair, the smell of cooking bread, music floating in the air, a person smiling to us – we feel what this does inside ourselves. Smelling leads us to deeply feel, a state of perception that helped us to survive in the wild world but with which we lost an intimate connection after a few hundred years of pure rationalism.
However we are multi-sensory beings and at the crossroads of our senses springs our spark of life, our vital energy. It is at the crossroads of the senses that we find our humanity connected to our immediate environment, planet Earth, in all aspects of her multi-sensory beauty. By paying attention to our senses, we incarnate, we become present and responsive to the messages from our environment. We become more conscious. Feeling is to connect ourselves 50% of the time to what is happening outside and 50% of the time to what is happening inside, because our inner world arises at the crossroads of these two realities.
Fragrances remind us that we have this sensory intelligence «this EQ”, this heart, which can help us to think and to act with “our IQ», our Reason, which together nourish our unique little voice. By bringing heart and reason together, we relearn to respect our humanity in all our sensitivities and diversities, to develop what makes us unique and strong, to jump with joy into the unknown.
