Sensational Scents
Your sense of smell is intricately connected to your brain’s memory function and is a source of great erotic pleasure.
Time for Exercise: one or more hours
Properties Required: private vehicle or public transportation
Steps:
Identify the locations you will visit, and map out your travel itinerary around town to visit the stores you have selected. Include stores that offer a selection of essential oils and others that offer a selection of fine perfumes.
Visit the stores and sniff the sample bottles of essential oils or perfumes to determine your favorites.
At home, experiment with adding your selections to your bathing, lovemaking, ritual, and ceremonial practices:
add a few drops of essential oil to your bath water
add a drop or two onto the vacuum filter
add a drop or two in an essential oil diffuser (with a tea light or specially designed night light)
experiment making your own scented massage oil blends
add a drop or two onto a piece of cotton and place it in a drawer
lightly perfume between your breasts, around your genitals, anus, feet, etc. (being careful of mucous membranes)
Variation:
Take your sensory trip with your lover. Pick scents that turn you both on.
Comments:
With essential oils and perfumes, buy the most expensive you can afford. To distill the essence of a fragrance requires a very large quantity of original plant material, hence the high cost for rare quality scents. If your nose is sensitive to smell, the extra cost for the finest fragrances is well worth it.
Health food stores, New Age stores, and many bookstores carry a selection of essential oils. There are also many online retailers. Do a search for essential oils at Google.com and you will easily find a supplier.
