Dear ______________________,


Thank you for your question and for sharing your experience.

Yes, scents like this are a very common form of communication. Scent is a powerful trigger of memory and it is often used in an attempt to make us aware of the person, place or event with which we most strongly associate it.

Of course, these scents can and do sometimes have ordinary origins.

To help determine if this scent is an attempt at communication, the next time you smell it, stop what you're doing and get quiet. Turn inward by taking a few deep breaths and ask yourself what you were thinking or doing at the time you smelled it. Were you thinking of your loved one? Had you been through their belongings or looking at photos of them recently? Is it a special day, such as an anniversary or birthday? If you find a connection with one or more of these things, it may be a communication simply to let you know their energy is still with you.

You can also try asking questions. Speak to the person, either out loud or within your self. Ask for further confirmation or validation of the presence of their energy and then wait for your answer. You may smell the scent again as you do this or you may hear them respond to you within your self. Sometimes the answer will come in more subtle ways. Examples of this that people have experienced are: a photo of the loved one appearing in a place it would not normally be, the sensation of being touched by an unseen hand and a shared favorite song playing the next time the radio is turned on.

Be open to the answer coming in ways you might not expect for it to and, most importantly, listen to your Intuition.

I hope this is helps some. Thank you again for writing.


As You Journey, I Wish You, Light, Love and Peace,
