Dear Karen,

Is there something I can substitute instead of incense? I haven't tried the brands you recommend in your book but I usually have a very allergic reaction to such things.

Karen's reply:

I have tried perehaps a thousand different brands of incense and the best I have ever found for Space Clearing are the Nitiraj Nagchampa sticks and the Basilica incense granules that I recommend in my book. These are extremely pure and even people who are normally allergic to incense are surprised to find that they have no adverse reaction to them at all. If you have difficulty finding them locally you can purchase them by mail order through the online stores on this website.

If you still feel you would rather not even give it a try then simply leave the incense out. Using it really helps to lift an atmosphere when Space Clearing and will help you get much better results, but it would be counter-productive to use it makes you feel unwell.
