The Six Senses: Smell

The Six Senses: Smell

This episode has been published and can be heard everywhere your podcast is available.

This six part series will explore our 5 physical senses to deepen then and develop our 6th sense. Through understanding our senses we can better manage the information we take in which will allow us to to focus, relax and really know ourselves. Our lives are bombarded with stimulus and information making it hard to separate out what are needs, wants, fears, desires, past, present and future. Our bodies receive data and information that create physical or emotional signals that can be difficult to interpret when we are busy or distracted. 

This series allows us to explore each of our senses individually and see how we take in the world around us through them and how they converge or overlap with other senses. Each episode will also feature an exercise for the sensory focus area. For scent we look at why scent was considered less important or even perverse and how we can use a meditation technique to conjure scent.

This series allows us to explore each of our senses individually and see how we take in the world around us through them and how they converge or overlap with other senses. Each episode will also feature an exercise for the sensory focus area. For Sound I have included an exercise at the end which is initially best done in a quiet space- or what initially may seem like a quiet space since there are always sounds around us when we tune into them.
