An Esoteric Seabreeze
Yesterday in the mail I received a RenuzitTriScents scented oil air freshener to try out. Rather than putting it in my house, I took it to the office (where it was duly needed - it tends to get a bit musty smelling over night). So, rather than candles accentuating the air, I let this little piece of plastic do its thing. I clicked the oils in place, plugged it in and basically forgot all about it.
My last client of the day came in and happily we were off on a mental journey. As a deepener, it just felt right to take her to a seaside scene, and the motif more the ever tied the session together. It was incredibly vivid.
After the session my client commented on the fact that she could actually occasionally catch the changing smells of the beach - the good smells. I nodded, smiled and thought it was interesting to have someone with such a good perception of the olfactory.
It was not until it came time to shut the place down for the weekend that I discovered the external cause of my success. After unplugging the stereo, computer, and lamps, that it became apparent. There it was in my session room - the Triscents. Pleasant smells were coming from it, no more chemical than the sprays I often use. Looking at the packaging, I noticed it was the Seaside Breezes Collection - relaxing waves, beach breezes, and ocean oasis. Now I am not sure I could distinguish between the three, but the scent automatically changes every 45 minutes. Apparently it must have changed during the session.
I am sure many people use scent in their sessions, but this is the first time I have actually integrated it (go subconscious go!). It is amazing what odd household items can become props to heighten the hypnosis process.
By the way, if you are game to try it, there is a coupon at www.triscents.com for a started kit like mine.
