Part 2: Smelling and Tasting a Spiritual Presence

All of us have smelt or tasted a spiritual presence before with out even realizing it. Most of us put it down to our imagination or some thing that is in the air. Below are some of the common ways in which we smell and taste a spiritual presence.

You suddenly smell a sweet perfume smell in the room when no one put on any perfume

You smell a deceased loved one, you either smell their perfume or cologne or how they smelt when they were alive.

You smell burning or other strange smells where you can not find the cause of the smell.

You suddenly get a taste in your mouth – good or bad (this commonly happens when you are trying to make big discussions, or are about to do something dangerous, meeting a good or bad person.

The spirits warn us about people, places and things through taste and smell. For example: You meet someone on the street and suddenly get a sour or bitter taste in your mouth, or you smell fire or another horrible smell in the air. This is the spirits way of warning us that this person is bad or dangerous and you should stay away from them. )

You find that the taste a deceased loved ones cooking is in your mouth. (This is your loved one in spirit sending you this taste to let you know that he/she is around.)

You may find that you are trying to by a house. You walk into a house and find that it smells damp. (This is your spirit guides warning you that this house may have dampness or plumbing problems or that it is not the right house for you.)

Our guides, deceased loved ones and angels send us tastes and smells to let us know that they are around, to help us make important discussions and to warn us about people, situations and places.

Tasting and Smelling Exercise

Find somewhere quiet and where you will not be disturbed. Sit or lie down and make your self feel completely relaxed and comfortable. Shut your eyes and take in 3-4 deep breaths very slowly.

Imagine that you are sitting at a table and in front of you is a large plate. On the plate is a lemon cut in to 4 wedges, there is a large stake, some Brussels sprouts, a fish, a ripe red tomato, garlic bread and a bar of chocolate.

First pick up one of the lemon wedges and take a long hard look at it. Look at the skin, what does it look like? Is it bumpy or smooth? What is its texture? Look at the flesh of the lemon and notice any colour differences. What does it look and feel like to compare the skin of the lemon?

Now bring the lemon to your nose and smell it. What does it smell like? Do you like the smell or not? Can you smell it strongly or clearly? Describe to yourself what the lemon smells like.

Now take a bite of the lemon and describe how the lemon tastes. Does it taste nice, sour, sweet, bitter or unpleasant? What feeling does it leave in your mouth? Feel what the taste of the lemon feels like.

Do the same process for each of the foods on your plate. After completing the exercise, write down your thoughts, senses, feelings and experiences with this exercise in your psychic journal.

Visual tasting and smelling exercise

Find somewhere quiet and where you will not be disturbed. Sit or lie down and make your self feel completely relaxed and comfortable. Shut your eyes and take in 3-4 deep breaths very slowly.

When you feel ready imagine that you are walking through beautiful woodland. Take note of your surroundings. Try to make the vision as clear and vivid as possible. Feel the warm sunshine warming your skin as it trickles through the tree tops.

Feel the earth and leaves beneath your feet. See all of the gorgeous tress standing tall all around you. Hear the sounds of birds as they chatter happily in the warmth of the day.

Stop and look around at all that is around you. Take in a deep breath and smell what the air and woodland smells like. What smells come to you and what feelings associated with these smells come to you? Can you smell fresh pine cones? Can you smell the lush trees and green grass?

What do they smell like? Can you smell any animals? Is there water near by? Can you smell the fresh water? What does it smell like? What tastes come to you in connection with each smell? How the smells and tastes make you feel and what sense you get from them.

It now begins to rain and you take in another deep breath. What does the rain smell like? What dose the rain smell like on the fallen leaves? How does the woodland smell now that it is raining?

Next imagine that you are on a sandy beach. Repeat the above exercise but this time describing and smelling what the sea, sand and air smells like on the beach. What shells and animals at the beach smell like? What tastes come to you in connection with each smell? How the smells and tastes make you feel and what sense you get from them.
