1. Can Scent Attract Love?
============================

"Love is in the Air" is not just an expression of speech.

People who study the science of smell, 'osmologists', tell us
that there are natural chemical messengers from
a person's scent delivered through the air and captured by
anothers olfactory sensors (smell receptors) to attract a mate.

These invisible messengers are called "pheromones", a word
created by two hormone researchers, Karlson and Luscher, who
combined two Greek words: pherein, meaning to bring or transfer;
and hormon, meaning to excite.

Pheromones are released by the body through skin and sweat
and are said to stimulate receptors in another person that
will signal s!x.ual desire.

Pheromones are not unique to humans. These and other natural
smells and odors are important ways the plant and animal
kingdoms communicate.

Pheromones have been simulated and manufactured by fragrance
companies and are heavily marketed. Many of these pheromones are
supposedly put into perfumes which are not required to be listed
on the label.

Therapeutic applications of chemically manufactured pheromones
have been used in research to treat s!x.ual dysfunction
and according to Masters and Johnson are used successfully.

If you research the topic of pheromones you will find
that there are many companies marketing them
and you can well imagine why - there is huge
business for this sort of thing.

According to research done by these companies, here is a list of
the effects of these chemically manufactured pheromones:
(many of these sound like the benefits of essential oils!):

--A heightened state of relaxation
--Ease in social situations
--Less anxiety
--Increased confidence
--Decrease of social butterflies
--Feeling more attractive
--Happier; more optimistic outlook
--Enhanced working relationships
--More romantic relationships
--Empowered
--Increased sense of well-being


For those of us who use essential oils therapeutically we
naturally would ask - might therapeutic essential oils and
medicinal aromatherapy have the same effect of pheromones? (we
know they can do these things listed above - but what would
experts like Gary Young say?)


I can recall sitting in one of Gary Young's lectures years ago
when he spoke to this issue of pheromones.

What I remember him saying was that essential oils are not
pheromones themselves but they enhance production of our
own pheromones.

This made sense to me in understanding the general action
of therapeutic essential oils which is to encourage the body's
own innate ability to achieve natural balance.

So how can we use this information about essential oils to
attract love?
(remember, this doesn't have to be "new love",
this can apply if you are already in relationship)

Here are some suggestions:

--Start with having the awareness of this natural
mechanism in the body to respond to scent.
When we have an awareness of things like this we can
bring consciousness to it, and work with it.

--Remember that the essential oils work by
balancing and enhancing the body's own abilities.

--Know this:
High quality essential oils have tremendous 'life-
force' and there is intelligence in them. . . so much
so that they can follow intentionality. As you use
your essential oils have an intention that you want for
your life, health, well-being etc. If you want to
attract love or improve a love relationship for example
- hold that as an intention as you use your oils.

--This concept is not new to folks who use "Abundance"
essential oil blend from YLEO. It was created with the
intention of helping people attract abundance in their
life.

And diffuse, diffuse, diffuse - for many reasons but especially
to infuse your environment with LOVE - to attract it- any kind of
love!

Manifest in Molecules)

5. HSL's Joke or Cute Quote of the Week
=========================================

It was their fifth Valentines day together as husband and
wife, and Al and Alice had just returned from the movies.

Alice was feeling romantic. 'Will you love me when my hair has
turned to silver?' she crooned.

'Why not?' Al grunted.
'Didn't I love you through four other shades?'
