Spiritual Stimulation of the 5 Senses

Vishnu continued imparting his wisdom:

“Some physical vibrations that can be picked up by our 5 senses, have ‘harmonics’
(parallel vibrations of a higher frequency) and forms that correspond with
higher ‘spiritual’ vibrations. When we pick up these vibrations, the harmonics and
forms stimulate a ‘like response’ within the person receiving them. This can be
experienced through any of the senses. Using sound for an example again, it would
be like hearing beautiful music that takes you to levels of spiritual elation, rapture,
giving you feelings of peace, and Unity with the Universe. When this happens, all
that is actually taking place physically is that an array of vibrations within a certain
frequency band is being received by you (hearing the music).”
“So why do you get those effects, those emotions and feelings from the
music?”
“I was just getting to that. Because the vibrational form, movement, and harmonics
resound within you, and allow you to tune-in to the ‘source’ of which they
correspond. That ‘source’ is what the composer was ‘connected to’, or feeling,
when the music was composed. The sense of smell is not as simple. But here are
just a few examples of the ways harmonious Universal vibrations manifest to vari -
ous senses:
To vision - a mandala; spiritually elating dance movements; elating colors and
art; the beauty of nature - like a sunset.
To touch - the feeling of the Universal life energy/prana/chi/ki, flowing
through your body; a loving touch.
To hearing - spiritually elating music or sounds; the sounds of nature.
To smell - the fragrance of a flower or pure incense. Frankincense, myrrh,
lavender, and others, in their pure state, are excellent for meditation and creating a
spiritual vibration in the environment. The effect of odors on a physical body is

unequaled. It is very powerful. They can even stimulate past life memories. The
sense of smell is the only one of the senses directly connected to the brain, and the
outside physical world. Smells come from physical particles in the air, that directly
contact parts of the brain, which is accessed through your nose. Smells actually
directly activate emotion centers in the brain, and thus, those emotions can trigger
childhood memories, or even past life memories. Odors can thus be healing, or create
problems. Keep in mind that an odor that is beneficial to one person may not
be for another. Try various types; you’ll know which are for you. The combination
of Frankincense and myrrh, or the combination of Lavender buds and Orris root
powder, are the most powerful for stimulating past life emotions, and thus memories
- because these were used in our ancient temples and healing centers.”
