Senses of Smell and Taste
When you can smell success and taste victory you know that you are engaging more and more of your senses in an integrated manner to accomplish your goals.
Your life is One Integrated Reality that is formed through Living Relationship of inter-dependent components. Two of these components are your sense of smell and your sense of taste.
As you explore the Living Relationship of these mind power tools it is important to be mindful of the facts that your sense of smell is not your nose and that your sense of taste is not your tongue - rather your nose and tongue are the sense doors through which your brain receives the in-formation that you perceive as smelling and tasting. And yet you cannot smell and taste without your nose and tongue. In other words smelling and tasting is the Living Relationship of your nose, tongue and brain.
In this light when you wish to engage your senses of smell and touch (this applies to each of your senses) to assist you in Creating the Life You want, then you see that this involves your brain and the communication between your conscious mind and your subconscious mind.
For example: when you wish to involve your sense of smell in the creation process you can use your conscious mind to recall a time when everything was working out for you such that you remember the smell of victory, and relive it as you send this information to your subconscious mind. In a similar way you can use your conscious mind to recall how sweetly things tasted when you were successful in a particular situation, and as you consciously relive the event you send this powerful message to your subconscious mind.
Thus you are in-forming your subconscious mind of the smell of your victory and the taste of your success. Then you couple these sensations with whatever goal that you are presently focusing your energies on creating, and infuse it with these energies.
Another way that you can engage these sense doors and sensing is to celebrate by going out to a special dinner, or create an event that represents the way you would behave and feel when your goal is fully realized. This may be a dinner where you engage your senses in a joyful way as you celebrate your success... thus you would dress in a particular way; you would choose the clothes that represents your feeling of success; you would enjoy the taste of the victory dinner that is held in your honour, the smells and aromas of the foods, the wine, the colognes etc., and the tasteful manner in which the whole situation unfolds.
This same mindset would manifest as you having certain things in your life that symbolize the life that you are creating. This does not mean that you would live beyond your means, yet it does mean that you would have particular possessions and that you would engage in particular activities that represent the life you are creating.
An example may be golfing: One of your goals may be to have a lifestyle where you are a member of an exclusive golf resort. Thus symbolically you may decide that you will play a round of golf on a luxury golf course. And, while you are playing that round of golf, you fully engage all of your mind powers to create the life you want whereby you can easily see the reality of this be-cause you are actually doing it. Then later you would relive this round of golf (this time you can even allow yourself to get that hole-in-one and make every putt) and use the communication between your conscious and subconscious minds to Create the Life You Want.
Some other suggestions:
Buy a ring that you would wear as the symbol and reminder of your success;
Have a party in your honour at a special place (this can be your secret;
Go on a mini vacation that represents the lifestyle that you want;
Buy just the right dress, suit, or outfit that represents the smell and taste of your success;
Attend a seminar with other successful people;
If singing is what you want to do - volunteer to sing for a special occasion;
Be a volunteer - this is a cost free means for you to get a taste of something;
Find ways to spend some time in the environment of where you want to be... visit the house of your dreams; test drive an expensive car; visit the stores that have the things that you want...
In this way you have the things in your life that symbolize what you want to be and have and you have clear sensations of their smell and taste, etc. Then you combine these with your other mind power tools to form One Integrated Whole as you Create the Things You Want in Life.
A Secret Sense in the Human Nose?
Vomeronasal organ (VNO's) or Jacobson's Organ are small sacs on either side of the nasal septum, containing receptor cells that pick up chemical signals (pheromones) from other organisms of the same species. There is much debate about this organ and its function because experts say that pheromones are a form of aphrodisiac. It is not within the scope of this article to explore the effect that these things have on other folks - what is relevant is the effect they have on your conscious and subconscious mind communication.
In this light there is some value in taking note of how certain scents and substances make you feel. For example many pheromone studies say that the sweet aroma of cinnamon has a stimulating effect on most humans. Stop for a moment and ask, 'What do I associate with the smell of cinnamon?'. Most folks think of warmth and security - the cozy feeling of having hot apple cider with cinnamon, or a hot cinnamon bun on a cold day; this is usually done in the company of friends and loved ones.
How would you use this to enhance your mind power? Well, what is your cinnamon - what smells, aromas, and fragrances mean success and happiness to you? Are you one of those folks who just loves that 'new car smell'? Determine which scents stimulate you and how they make you feel. Then choose to have the ones that mean success to you in your home and work areas; maybe wear a certain cologne or essential oil that has a special meaning to you.
The convenient part of using aromatic stimulation is that you do not have to consciously think about it - simply wear the aroma or have it in your space. Thus you may not be aware of it with your conscious mind and yet when you choose to wear a scent that means success to you - the message that you are communicating to you subconscious mind is that you are successful.
