RESONANCE REPORT: JULY 2026

Can you believe half of 2026 is now behind us?
May offered wickedly wild weather along with two full moons—unusually high winds, ground frosts, hailstorms, and a chill more like winter than high spring. June ushered in the opposite end of the pendulum, phasing from a windy, chilly first half into an intense heat wave with high humidity, skyrocketing pollen counts, and monster mosquitoes. On a personal note, all of my carefully crafted plans had to be put on hold. All the energy I had went toward everyday life in the face of these unusual challenges—an unavoidable side effect of being electromagnetically aware and highly attuned to environmental shifts.
During this time, I felt drawn to focusing on our senses. It has been postulated that we have up to 33 senses—many more than the familiar handful we've always been taught! From magnetoreception (sense of magnetic fields) to chronoreception (sense of time), our perception is formed by far more than the traditional sight, sound, scent, taste, and touch.
The one screaming for my attention the loudest right now is our sense of smell. Olfaction.
I've always been fascinated with scent. Since I was a teenager, I've crafted my own personal scent using fragrance oils rather than store-bought perfumes. I discovered early on that the way someone smells has a remarkable effect on my reaction to them. My work as a pharmacist exposed me to those suffering from all sorts of illnesses, many of which carried a particular smell of 'sickness.' My deep research into systemic inflammation as a common malady also introduced me to essential oils as a natural remedy to varying degrees.
Olfaction—how we detect odours—is the only sense that directly connects to our brain without first being processed and translated by the thalamus. Scent travels from the nose directly to our memory and emotion centres, which makes it our most provocative and potentially most powerful perception tool.
But why, you may ask, is this a subject for the Resonance Report?
Scent is not merely our detection of odour molecules; it is paired with a specific vibrational frequency unique to each smell. The Vibrational Theory of Scent posits that quantum tunnelling is an integral part of identifying specific smells. (If you are interested in exploring this concept further, see the references provided at the end of this transmission). The most important part of this is the vibrational, or energetic, aspect of olfaction. We detect the nuance between almost identically shaped molecules via this energetic signature method.
Fancy that!
July is a 'quiet' month. There are no big holidays here in the UK or major seasonal events—just the first full month of proper summer. All of nature's glory is on full display as the flowers of spring mature into seeds to become the next flora generation. A new brood of birds and mammals leave their parental protection and start fending for themselves, trees and hedges reach their full greenery of the year, and the landscape is filled to capacity with life.
It is a perfect scenario to use your sense of smell to explore this bounty of our natural world!
Olfaction doesn't just evoke instant memories and emotions; it is directly tied to how much we enjoy our very existence and life experience. Losing one's sense of smell is directly correlated with cognitive decline, chronic diseases, and poor emotional states. But fear not: olfaction training can restore our sense of smell, at least partially.
So embrace the power of your nose and become scent-aware!
