That’s the power of vibration. This, not to mention that music carries so much resonant energy, it can transform an environment into heaven or hell. In fact, if you want an aggressive person to leave your physical space, you can influence this ever so subtly by turning on a peaceful melody. Its ethereal qualities will sufficiently transform the space to where they will suddenly have to leave or, oddly enough, be drawn away by some seemingly unrelated incidents (i.e. their cell phone rings or nature calls).
Compatibility factor number two has been mastered by animals all over the planet—yep, you guessed it: body scent. The fragrance of the body is so essential in determining relativity that a dog can know in seconds what takes a human being many hours, even months, years, or a lifetime to figure out. Believe me, your good olfactory glands can pre-relieve you of much pointless relationship distress. Why ever suffer when such a simple wisdom lies quite literally, right under your nose?
Testing these factors, of course, is not an exact science, yet it’s still possible (and fun) to ask someone what their top ten favorite musicians and songs are. Or, ask to hold their hand a moment while you sneak a whiff of it—assuming that you are not going to hug them in greeting when you first meet. (The old hug ‘n’ sniff is, of course, the most effective way!) They may still make wonderful friends regardless of your lack of penchant for their iPod shuffle and aroma, yet they will probably not make a compatible lover for you. Try it and see for yourself, or reflect on your experience of past lovers as they pertain to these two suggested keystones of compatibility—and feel free to share related musings with me.
One other thing—and this leads us to the most essential part. If a person wears perfume or cologne, beware! If one is concealing the scent of their skin, it is prudent to consider: what else might they be hiding? It’s very subtle, yet people who do not enjoy their own body scent will generally not like others’ either, whereas one who enjoys the scent of their own pheromones and body odor is unlikely to be critical and quite likely to love you “Just the Way You Are.” (Yes, that song is on both our iPods.)
In the end, two lovers’ absolute acceptance of each other is the only fail-safe compatibility test. This brand of acceptance can’t be bought in stores and it’s all you’ll ever really need.
