Who this suits
People who find scent grounding, and anyone who wants a sensory anchor that isn’t breath-based.
When to use it
Helpful when attention keeps slipping, or when internal focus feels unsafe.
A note on the approach
Smell is handled carefully here. Scent carries direct routes to memory and can be activating as easily as it is settling, so the practice favours mild, familiar, everyday smells over strong essential oils, and treats opting out entirely as a full and valid way to take part.
Smell can be very grounding, but it needs to be handled carefully, as it can also be intense or triggering. You're in charge of how much you engage with this practice.
