Modern sensory experiences are becoming more trendy among younger generations and experienced elders alike. We have five senses (some six!), and indulging them is one of the keys to happiness. From olfactory memories to the joy of touch, here are some examples.
It’s All a Matter of Taste
From rooftop retreats to hush-hush bars, there are many hidden and exclusive treasures that cater to the palates of the wealthy. Of course, no matter your budget, there are many options that offer delicious delights. Taste is one of the greatest senses you have, as eating directly corresponds to happiness when serotonin is released. However, leftfield of food, vape devices with various flavors offer a quick sensory blast at any time, from good old vanilla to iced peach.
You Smell Something, or Remember It?
Sometimes, having no sense of smell would be of great benefit! Jokes aside, odors are amazingly powerful and are among the greatest and fastest ways to instantly recall a long-lost memory. Pleasant aromas can also change your mood, whether you want to unwind and relax with lavender or energize your body and mind for a workout with citrus. There are also sensual aromas, such as ylang-ylang, which help to get in the mood for love and enhance passion.
Modern Sensory Experiences for the Peepers
We love to decorate our homes, which are, of course, our castles. However, there are more reasons to improve the aesthetics of your house beyond superficial style, even if you did buy the world’s most expensive couch, the Lockheed Lounge, for $3.3 million! Colors and textures can instantly change your mood. Yet there are also ultra-modern methods to present your peepers for stimulation, such as AR and VR experiences that transport you away from the real world.
You Can Touch This!
Is touch the most underrated sense we have? Maybe. Imagine not being able to feel the sensual contact of skin on skin! Is that a life you would want to live? Tactile experiences that include various textures add more complexity to a space. Of course, you can’t just go around touching things in public or with other people! However, including a multitude of fabrics and materials within your personal space can add a lot more depth to your home decor.
How About Some Sound Advice?
Sounds are among the most powerful external forces we know of. Music can instantly evoke specific emotions. If you don’t believe it, try watching your favorite movie without sound! Yeah, Star Wars is pretty different without Vader’s theme! Aside from jokes, audio can improve your mood by helping you relax, boost your energy, or calm your mind. Strategically placed soundscapes with ambient sounds and gentle music are easier than ever with smart devices.
Summary
Allowing yourself to taste more is one of the most powerful modern sensory experiences you can indulge in. You can also escape to other worlds with VR and AR experiences, and soundscapes with music can instantly change your mood at home for every kind of activity.
