The Pause Between
"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom."
- Viktor E. Frankl
"Scent is the pause between intention and
Presence.”
Using a natural scent rather than a synthetic scent is using our freedom to make use of that space between a stimulus from nature and our response to it.
This is how we can use natural scent as more than just a chemical- free option to conventional fragrance. We can use it as a tool or as a catalyst to improved brain health and function. The power is in the use of that space between stimulus and response. The intention to take the pause, the pause itself, and the effect of the pause. This is where natural scent in itself is so powerful. It creates space, contracts time, pauses time, then imprints a memory in time which is stored directly into our brain's most primitive space - the limbic system.
If many natural scents without chemicals are applied, breathed and experienced daily, a more mindful approach to life can be created and applied. According to the famous neuroscientist Dr Tara Swart, cognitive function is improved through our olfactory sense. By simply taking time to smell more things throughout your day such as your cup of coffee in the morning, your favourite herbal tea, your bath soak or shower products, your natural perfume or the flowers on your walk. The more you smell daily, the healthier your brain will become. So by simply taking more time to pause more regularly in your day to smell natural things, the pause and space around the pause becomes more frequent, enhancing neuroplasticity and supporting new neurological pathways in the brain.
