What's more important is that you use that time for the affirmations, which are critical. If you're not used to them already you definitely don't want to bypass that part.
As for the lotion, I have no idea. I don't think there's anything terribly magic about Tea Tree oil or Tiger Balm per se, I think it's a matter of getting something potent but fairly decent smelling on your feet. When I had things touching my face I started putting scented lotion all around my face. I even bought cologne, closed my eyes and squirted. Again, worked some for me. Hunt around your house and see if you've got anything strong: peppermint oil, Cinnamon powder (rub on lotion and sprinkle), garlic, you get the idea. Negs aren't fond of things that smell nice or strong, so get yourself all dolled up and hunker down.
Anyhow, the book should get to you Tuesday.
Best,
Soul
