Ear Coning

Ear Coning, which is also known as Ear Candling, Auricular Candling, or Ear Cleansing is an Ancient Healing Art which was used in India, China, Tibet, Sumeria, Egypt as well as in the Aztec, Mayan and American Indian cultures. Ear Coning has been kept alive and in use through many tribes, sects, and families which have carried on this tradition as a healing art.

It has been said that Ear Coning may help to facilitate spiritual opening, emotional clearing, auric cleansing, restoration of proper subtle energy flow, sharpening of mental functioning, vision, hearing, smell, taste, and perception and a number of other shifts which allow for greater harmony, alignment and flow within the subtle body systems.

While Ear Coning is not intended to be used to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, it has been noted to be of possible assistance in the relief of allergies, earaches and infections, sinus headaches, congestion and infections, swimmer’s ear, partial hearing loss due to excessive wax build-up, vertigo, and tinnitus [ringing in the ears].

During the ear coning procedure, the cone is fired on the wide end and a flow of smoke is established through the narrow end. The cone is then gently placed at the opening of the ear. The seal creates a spiral energy flow which carries the smoke into the ear canal which is a spiral itself. This creates a gentle vacuum action which gently dislodges excess ear wax from the ears and pulls it into the cone.

While the cone is afire during this process, there should be no heat felt in the ear and the tip of the cone which is placed at the ear should not become hot. The practitioner minds the flame and uses skill and care to monitor the process.

Sometimes the client may hear a gentle crackling sound as the flame pulls the debris into the cone. This is commonly described as a gentle soothing sound which induces relaxation. The cone is periodically removed to be cleared, clipped, and reinserted in order to maintain a smooth and patent flow. When the flame has reached a certain point, the cone is extinguished; and if called for, this process is repeated with a new cone. When both ears have been completed, the energies are then balanced through Reiki. Ear Coning has routinely been described as a deeply relaxing experience.

It is recommended that when one considers this treatment as an adjunct to their healing process, that one would allow for the possibility that they may feel the need to have a few conings in close succession as the initial coning will stimulate a healing process; and thus, may trigger the release of deeper residues in the canal which then begin to surface for release. While this is not always the way, it should be noted that one may feel the need for several treatments before they feel clear.

Making space for this healing to occur will allow the process to complete its cycle of clearing accumulated debris. Normal earwax replenishes itself within 24 hours. After one has attained the initial clearing, coning may be done every six months or whenever desired if one wishes to continue for maintenance.

Be mindful also that after an ear coning, especially the first one, as a result of this cleansing process, it is possible that one may experience some passing sensations of pressure shifts in the ears, vibration in the ears, an itching sensation in the ears, or other subtle changes and indications that energy is moving about in that area. This can be a normal part of the healing process; but nevertheless it is well to understand beforehand that sometimes one may experience some mild sensations in the ears for a short time after the coning.

One may also feel improvements in hearing, sight, taste, perception, and balance. This is due to the restoration of subtle energy flow within the canals which allows for greater clarity of perception. The ear contains nerve endings and acupuncture points to every other area of the body; and through this, has a connected impact with the emotional and mental bodies and indeed, the entire subtle body systems through the interconnectedness of energy flow and body systems. This is why, when the ears are cleared, it is as a catalyst for clearing on multidimensional levels.
