​The mindful way to stop and smell the roses
 
By Luke Vorstermans

 
This is not a blog about why you should stop and smell the roses. I mean, you should heed that advice for your own health and well being, but I want to bring your attention to what it is that you are actually doing when you are engaged in smelling those roses.
 
Sitting smack in the middle of your face is your unadorned, and under-appreciated nose – your sense of smell. I won’t get into all the dynamics of how the scent of a rose delivers that, “Aaaaaah” sigh of scent pleasure, but there is something you should know about your sense of smell that will bring a new, elevated relationship with this enigmatic sense.

It’s just a matter of scents.
 
By Luke Vorstermans
 
Our sense of smell contributes enormously to the quality of our lives. The use of aromas and fragrances in temples and churches for religious ceremonies, at feasts and celebrations, and for the promotion of love, health and wellness goes back as far as recorded history.
 
Aromatherapy, deemed a fringe therapy 30 years ago, is now a mainstream healing technique that focuses on the application and inhalation of essential oils for the purpose of affecting the mood and health.
 
And recent medical research about the power of our olfactory sense shows it triggers memories, enhances moods and improves health and wellness.

Use Your Nose to Boost Your Libido

Use your nose to boost your libido
A new patch for women was recently developed to enhance sexual desire. The twist? It uses our sense of smell to activate the ‘feel good’ vibes.
 
By Luke Vorstermans
 
While the pharmaceutical giants have been clamoring to develop a ‘pink Viagra’ in hopes of duplicating the success of the ‘little blue pill’ for men, research into aromachology – the science of smell – is pioneering a non toxic pathway into the pleasure centers of brain using our sense of smell. The result? Helping women who suffer from a low libido or sexual desire may be as simple as smelling the right scents.

What is Your Smell IQ?

Your nose sits in the middle of your face unobtrusively going about its business 24/7. How much do you really know about its function?
 
By Luke Vorstermans
 
Most people pay little attention to their sense of smell. Other than our nose providing a placeholder for reading glasses, our sense of smell goes about its daily function identifying, categorizing and memorizing thousands of different odors with every breath we take.

We breathe an average of 23,040 times a day and flood our smell receptors with over 240 cubic feet of air, but rarely do we take any notice unless, of course, it’s an erotic perfume or a dead skunk.

Living Well With Your Sense of Smell

​We are taught to read, write and listen. Why not to smell?
 
By Luke Vorstermans
 
"We breathe in pairs, except for two times in our lives. At birth, we take our first breath; at death we exhale for the last time.

"Every day, we breathe about 23,040 times moving over 438 cubic feet of air. It takes but two seconds to inhale and three seconds to exhale. During this, odors flood our smell (olfactory) receptors with information of our surrounding environment.
 
"Scents swirl around us, enter our bodies and emanate from us. Whether the aroma is dispersed in the environment or delivered discreetly through an aromapod, we are constantly immersed in them."
  - Diane Ackerman, A Natural History of the Senses.

The Re-emergence of Our Sense of Smell

The nose knows…
 
Rabbits can smell danger before they can see it. Squirrels can find the acorns they buried months before. Bloodhounds can trace a lost child across miles of rugged terrain. This amazing sense of smell originates in two small patches of several million odor-detecting cells nestled high in the nasal passage. A rabbit has over 100 million of these cells, and a dog has over 220 million. By comparison, a human has only about five or six million. Yet even though the human sense of smell may not be as heightened as many other creatures, we can still detect thousands of different scents.

The Emerging Power of Our Sense of Smell

Aromas delivered to the smell receptors in our brains have a powerful effect on behavior.
 
By Luke Vorstermans
 
Compared to our other senses, little is known about our sense of smell. It is certainly taken for granted the most. Though we rarely think about it, our sense of smell goes about its critical business of helping us in every facet of our lives.
 
The brain processes information delivered through our other senses -- sight, sound, taste and touch -- by mental identification first, which in turn triggers an emotional response. But our sense of smell does the opposite. Incoming odors are processed by how we feel about them and then identified.

Smell Your Way to a Better Mood

You can change your mood by changing what you smell.
 
By Luke Vorstermans
 
Which of our five senses influences our behavior? Triggers our memories? Controls our cravings? Enhances our moods? Ignites our sexuality?
 
If you replied, “It’s our sense of smell,” then you’re smarter than most. We live in a culture that overwhelms us with stimulation delivered through sight and sound. Even taste and touch are highly valued and utilized to expand our experience of pleasure and sensuality. But our sense of smell has been relegated to the bottom of the sensory pile. It’s an unfortunate place to be for a sense that’s primarily responsible for our quality of life
