Connie Beez is named in memory of my grandmother, who passed away after a long struggle with Alzheimer’s Disease. Many who interacted with her in her later years might have perceived a lack of clarity. Yet, those who were closest to her recognized that she still possessed a remarkable clarity beneath the surface. While her ability to communicate and remember was affected, one of her senses that remained strong was her sense of smell. Whether it was the aroma of food, the scent of her newborn great-great-granddaughter, or my perfume, she expressed her delight through her radiant smile and sparkling eyes.

The sense of smell truly stands out as our most spiritually connected sense. Its direct connection to our intuition, dreams, elevated thoughts, emotions, and memories adds to the intrigue of the act of smelling. Across all cultures, spiritual belief systems, and religions, our sense of smell is consistently linked to the divine and is regarded as our most elevated sense.

Aroma opens the gateway to the divine, awakening a part of our consciousness that enables us to enter various mental or emotional states. You may have felt this effect with incense or fragrant plants. Additionally, the scents from these plants can significantly influence our emotions and overall well-being. They can activate our parasympathetic nervous system, helping us to relax or even feel a gentle sedation, enhancing our sacred experiences.

Aroma has this amazing ability to help us escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, allowing us to focus better during moments of prayer, rituals, or setting intentions. But it also does something beyond us, something quite mysterious. Throughout history, fragrances have been used to connect with spirits, gods, and goddesses. They’re often offered as sacred gifts, especially in the form of incense, as the smoke rises to the heavens, capturing the attention of the spiritual realm.

In the story of Adam and Eve, it’s interesting to note that out of all our senses, smell isn’t mentioned when it comes to the original sin of eating from the Tree of Knowledge. Avraham Sand points out in his book Mystical Aromatherapy that while Eve “listened” to the snake, “saw” the fruit, “touched” it, and “tasted” it, there’s no reference to her smelling it. Given that the Garden of Eden is described as having the most exquisite scents, the lack of aroma in this narrative really stands out.

Additionally, it’s said that after Adam and Eve were banished from the garden, all human senses, except for smell, fell to a lower level of awareness. This has led Rabbis to believe that the sense of smell retains its original purity and holiness, just like it was in Eden, making aroma a deeply soulful experience.

When you consciously engage with aromatics, aiming to learn from the plants, heal with their essence, and explore their deeper meanings through meditation, your journey can unfold in remarkable ways with consistent practice.
