"If I had to choose only one word to describe Patchouli, it would be “Primal.” To me, it is the Essence of Feeling. I reach for it when I need a little bit of grounding or to comfort and soothe. One whiff and I feel like I just got a big hug from the Universe!
My personal Patchouli story goes back to 1970 when I was around 4 years old. It was a hot Summer day in LA, and as fate would have it, my young bohemian self came to be at the Janov Institute for Primal Scream Therapy.
I remember it like it was a dream. I came into the waiting room and a very emotional John Lennon (yes, John Lennon) was there, winding down from a Primal Session with my father who was his therapist. To me he was all hair and looked like Jesus in his long white robe. Oh, and Smelly! It was a strangely familiar Earthy aroma that emanated from him, and I remember that this manly, almost animalic scent was so strong that it filled the entire room space!
When he saw me he beckoned me over to say hello. I imagine now, that from his spent primal self he must have felt a connection to something in my innocent child-self-mind-space that drew his attention to my corner at that particular moment. And so, there he was calling to me, wanting to engulf me in a warmly abundant hug, and as you can imagine the last thing I wanted was a hug from a smelly Patchouli Primal Screamer!
Not one to be deterred, this industrious Patchouli Loving Jesus Christ Superstar proceeded to lure me over to his corner with a handful of Chiclets. Yes, that’s right, I have always been a sucker for the simple pleasures and those Chiclets did the trick! Yep, those pretty little candy gems were even more fun than I first imagined they would be, as I learned about gum and how to chew these tiny colorful treats instead of swallowing them whole. It was like a magic trick. And for a short while, this became a tradition with us – the “Jesus Man” would greet me with Chiclets, and I would give him big a hug. It turned out to be one of the few perfectly reciprocal relationships in my life. I was OK with the "Patchouli Hugs," as long as he didn’t forget the Chiclets." –Kedra Hart
