Our Why

It always feels good to remember your ‘why’. At Bodha ours is to help you come back to yourself through the power of scent. This week we chatted with my fave hat maker about why we started Bodha & the best scent for when you’re overwhelmed by your to-do list.

01/ What does it mean to come back to yourself?

Coming back to yourself is the foundation of happiness. If you think of your inner world as a garden, it’s about finding ways to nurture & plant seeds of beauty every day. And of all the ways you can do this scent’s the most powerful because your sense of smell connects directly to your subconscious & has the ability to affect you on an emotional & physical level.

02/ Any tips for people interested in or just starting their own grounding rituals?

Keep it personal, simple & sensory. A ritual can be any small act you do with intention & awareness. The connection between scent & ritual is as old as time & for good reason. By connecting ritual with scent you’re creating a deep sensory bond in your subconscious that enhances & strengthens the rituals’ impact.

03/ Tell us about the Ground scent

Ground is one of my personal favorites. It’s made from ingredients with deep roots into the earth & you can really feel the grounding energy when you burn it. Its warm woody scent reminds me of being inside a Japanese temple. I highly recommend it as an afternoon scent when you’re feeling overwhelmed by your to-do list.
