Your limbic is your superpower.
The limbic system of your brain is the hub for memory, emotions, hormones, stress, and the incredible sense of smell.
Smelling something pleasant is the fastest way to calm the mind when feeling stressed. Each time we engage the brain with compassionate healing, we create new neural pathways (neuroplasticity) that lead to lasting positive change.
Amygdala
When we sense a threat, the alarm bell triggers the stress response.
Hypothalamus
When stressed, hormones like cortisol and adrenaline release.
Olfactory Cortex
The fastest of all of the senses to influence the brain to de-stress.
Hippocampus
Memories and learned experiences are formed in the hippocampus.
Thalamus
All other sensory information (sight, sound, touch, taste) is processed here.
When we smell something pleasant, we instantly disrupt the stress response. It is the fastest of all of the senses to impact brain function, shift energy and impact mood.
Why Olfaction?
“Our sense of smell is the unsung hero of all of our senses. Olfaction helps us reframe our experiences and gain control of how we respond to stress. Like other mammals who use their sense of smell for survival, we can use aroma to connect to the deepest emotional and spiritual parts within us.”

Our sense of smell is the only sense that is directly linked to the brain, thereby making it the fastest of all the senses to calm the stress response.
Smelling something pleasant is an instantaneous way to self-soothe and de-stress.
