Reply #9: That Chinese bells aren't safe will certainly be news to the billions of Chinese

IMO intention is the most important thing when working with energy so as long as *you* believe it can help it will. I have read of people just sweeping their house with intention and clearing it :shrug: Probably balinese bell works so well for the author because she loves Bali so if she isn't out and out fibbing to help sell her goods.

Like I said before even cheap incense works for me though I do notice more of an effect with smudge. I once visited a new age shop that had the most intense clean vibes I had ever felt and the woman who owned it said she smudged every day sometimes with a sage blend and sometimes with a resin called copal. I was temped to buy some to try until I saw it was $8 an ounce which was not in my budget. If you have any new age shops in your area that feel really wonderful you can ask them what they do.
