Working with energy, plants and aroma

I've talked a bit about affecting or using other matter-energy with thought... let's talk a little about affecting thought-energy with an outside energy source...

Given that:
1. Plants are organic matter.
2. The chemical makeup of a plant will determine the energy vibration.
3. Odor/scent/aroma is caused by volatile molecules released from the "host" matter (aka volatile organic compounds or VOC), usually introduced into the atmosphere by evaporation.
5. VOCs are chemicals which, when coming in contact with the olfactory sensors in a being, react bio-chemically with the "sniffer." The olfactory sensors then send an electronic message to the brain, which determines if the scent "smells good or smells bad."
6. Certain scents may cause the brain to recall a memory.
Example: When smelling home baked cinnamon rolls, I think of my mother.
7. Some scents may cause the brain to emit certain chemicals in reaction to the external stimuli. Aroma therapy uses this phenomenon.
8. Memory recall may also cause the brain to emit certain chemicals, combining memory recall with aroma therapy.
Example: When I smell sandalwood incense, I think of the early days of my magical practice and also feel "ready" to do magical work; whereas, smelling dragonsblood incense prepares me more for shamanic work.

Metaphysically, we use plants most often in three ways:
1. As an aromatic, to affect mood or to help release thought-energy potential.
2. As an object, much like the stones in the previous post.
3. As a quick-release energy source, as when burned or smoldered. The fire/heat applied will change the natural chemical makeup of the base, therefore changing the energy produced.

Therefore, we can deduce that the state of the plant (fresh, dried, chemically altered, etc) is just as important as the type of plant used.
