Max-Out Your Memories and Boost Your Blog
You already use essential oil to lubricate your libido; why not put essential oil to use lubricating your imagination, insight, and creativity, too? You have developed a serious case of blogophilia. If you did not blog it, it did not happen. You have heard stories about blogs turned to movies and mini-series. But you unfortunately have also begun to recognize just how many gazillion spaces populate the blogosphere, and you want yours to become the one attracting legions of loyal visitors, who always beg and plead for more.
Capitalize on potent essential oils' uses for prompting your clearest thinking and fostering your greatest writing. "Essential" here means "you must." You must use essential oils' mind-expanding powers as you compose your masterpieces.
Instinctively, intuitively, you know natural scent uses for boosting memory, reflection, introspection, and all the other daredevil tricks of imagination and fancy that go into great blogging. If I say "Coppertone," how many summer memories will wash over you like perfectly shaped chest-high waves breaking just 100 yards off Redondo Beach? How many Beach Boys' tunes will play in your head? If I say "English Leather" or "Charlie," how many first dates will reappear in memory's viewfinder? You do not remember Coppertone because it gave you the perfect tan during your personal summer of love. You remember it because those Coppertone characters knew their essential oil uses. You absolutely cannot forget that unmistakable fragrance. So, take it to the next creative level: Take a good deep breath of Coppertone and write down all those blissful memories. Go ahead, find that old bottle of "Charlie" still rattling around in the back of your drawer, drink-in all the potent seduction still lingering there, and write down poignant memories of your sometimes-radical passage from innocence to experience. Use aromatherapy to open your doors of perception and light your fire.
Maybe not outspoken, advocates of fragrance for lubricating the creative process, great writers nevertheless understood the importance of vivid imagination in the composition of their great works. Hemingway once observed he never had written a book in his entire life; instead, he had watched mental movies and written down what he had seen. Among the many powerful, provocative, evocative, and generally inspiring aromatherapy uses, none out-powers or out-performs their capacity for spawning vivid recollection, alluring fantasy, and maybe even a good cry. Whiff it and write it. You know it works.
Seriously consider essential oil uses taken to the next evolutionary level. Now that you have come of age and blush just a little at your sun drenched Coppertoned days, cringing slightly at the gross political incorrectness of billboards advising "Don't Be a Paleface," keep those aromas pumping through your olfactories as you negotiate the meaning of all your memories. Use aromatherapy to guide your reflections: what did those days reveal about your character and values? How did they contribute to your sense of yourself and your destiny? What can your sons and daughters learn from your example? What have you lost and what have you gained since then?
And do not overlook essential oil's uses for overcoming your occasional writer's block. Rest assured every great artist occasionally suffers a little blockage-as Wordsworth explained, "The Poet, like the lover, hath his unruly times when he is neither sick nor well." Do not under-estimate essential oils' uses for powering you past the sick and unruly. Work your favorite fragrances into the fabric of your creative processes.
