Nowhere near physical proximity, no one else around and I smell "him........"

Female intuition works in strange ways...

Since intuition is part of the physical brain why would it not be able to activate the olfactory senses when someone near and dear is thinking of us???

Celtic, if I remember correctly, you are a RN?? Like myself??

This makes sense to me, both physically and metaphysically.

I can often remember a scent, not necessiarially smell it, but re-member...from my childhood, the smell of hay, horses, hogs, freshly drawn milk from cows.......

Seems to me that intuitively, if we are connecting with a soul mate, then all previously exposed senses are open for re-activation......

Have you ever heard your love calling you? Have you ever felt the feather whisper upon your cheek that made you think of his kiss? Have you ever tasted something that re-minded you of his sweat? You HAVE smelled his scent~~~~~~

My ramblings.........

When I trained to become an aromatherapist and I got into tuning into fragrances, it stirred up a lot of emotion for me.

Lavender....aaahh that old furniture polish, my mother used to use. Patchouli....being in the middle of a smoke filled room with free and happy people.

My husband had a whiff of cigarette smoke in our house a few months ago. We dont smoke...

It was an old spirit man who came to visit.....he was on his way home and wanted to say hello.

I often smell my husband when he isnt here and often get a whiff of something like roses....it feels like a message of love...

We are never alone...the "old ones" come back now and then to say hello...

And leave their scent....

Yes. I had figured about the ones who had gone before mae sense, but I was a bit un-nerved about someone who was still alive and no rational explanation for me to smell him as I had never had the experience with one who was alive. I had gone to take my dog to a Civil war battle site (Manassas or Bull Run for those who what to do a search) two very large important battles of the civil war fought there and pretty bloody. It was during the day with NO ONE around not even any cars (highly unusual for this area) and I smelled pipe tobacco for a good while and I looked for a source and found none!! I figured it was some handsome Civil war soldier come out to say hello. That was intense! I have smelled by granfather on occasion too. But having soemone who wsa still alive was way different---made me want to call him to make sure he was still with us so to speak.
