Stress Free Tip #11 massages and aroma therapy

"I love the smell of spring time. The flowers are blooming the birds are chirping. The bees are huming" Said Tori as she and her best friend Amy walked through the park. "mmm honey!" Said Amy. Amy was always baking and cooking. She was in college to be a chief. "Yes I love the smell of honey" She repeated. "I wish it was always like this. Where we smell the freshness of the world around us...but we have to go back to the city sometime or another." Tori looked down at her shoes. "Camping" she said thinking of the way pine smells and the early morning frost. "BBQ" Said Amy. "Christmas, oh I love the smells of Christmas." Tori said. "Yes, Gingerbread men or thanksgivings pumpkin spices, or valentine and easters chocolate delights" The girls started to laugh. They turned the corner to where the city stood. It was a nice early morning stroll but now it was time for some pampering. Up the stairs and into the second building they went. "Welcome to renew you spa" Said the lady in the building.

#11 Smells and Massages

Oh the spa. What a pleasure to go visit. Whoever came up with the spa and retreats idea were very smart. They knew that everyone has stress and wants to become stress free. So the made up a spa or retreat or both. From massages that help our muscles relax to warm baths to relax our tension. We have wonderful soft music and then to top it off they have aroma therapy… yep smells.

How funny that smells can actually affect us. In a good or a bad way. We love the good way where we are smelling the things that bring that smile to our face. Those are the smells we have on our incsence, pillow sprays, and lotions. Aroma therapy is smells that help relaxes us. Lavender is actually a calming smell. It is used to put someone at ease.

However, did you know you can get headaches from a certain smell, or you may even be allergic to a smell. So we have to be careful of the smells that we use to relax us. Always pay attention to the smells around you!

Todays Challenge:

Take today and go for a walk in the park, go check out all the different flowers and thier smells or if you are allergic to outside pollen try finding some insence and burning it like lavender.

"The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land" Song of Solomon 2:12
