Scent is a very powerful way to change our self awareness and the way we feel about ourselves, that is our self est
eem level.
We often feel very tired and low and wonder what is causing our feelings and difficulty, and yet, something as simple as smelling a flower can change our moods and feelings, for example the smell of roses or carnations is well known to make us feel happy in “our skin”
