When coning, the cone is lit on the wide end, gently placed in the ear and burned to create smoke containing spiral energy into the ear canal. This process is also called Ear Cleansing with herbs, Ear Candling or Auricular Candling in Europe, Canada and America. German medical students are taught Ear Candling as a remedy.

One of the conditions that make for mold allergy is Candida. Candida in the ear causes itching inside the ear, symptoms of arthritis in the neck, shoulders, elbows, hands and feelings of numbness in these areas. Parasites cause symptoms ranging from hypoglycemia, diabetes, heart problems, arthritis (stemming from liver or kidney infestations and toxicity), irrationality and emotional instability (over taxation of adrenal and endocrine system), enzyme function impairments, hyperactivity in children and learning and thinking impairment.
When the nerve endings are blocked from picking up stimulus by either fungus or yeast growth, vibrational energy frequencies cannot be transmitted through the nerve endings. Yeast and fungus can be considered parasites as well as the more common worms. It is important to take care of this by diet change, homeopathic, herbal and color therapy. "Swimmers Ear” available in drugstores, prevents fungus growth.

The Way it works: The spiral of the cone draws out debris. Smoke goes into the ear. Picture a chimney with its’ fire and oxygen dynamics. A draw is created. Debris is osmotically drawn through the eardrum into the cone. In the outer ear canal excess hardened wax plugs may also be drawn out. It creates a reverse osmotic pressure that equalizes the Eustachian tube pressure. Candling is very soothing, relaxing and non-invasive. At no point does the tip of the cone in the ear get hot to the touch. Heat is not a factor.

How often: This is a healing process. We suggest three conings, three to seven days apart. This allows the process to complete a cycle of clearing accumulated debris. After that, groupings of three until you have completed your process. Normal earwax replenishes itself within 24 hours. Thereafter the ear can be coned every six months. Muscle testing (kinesiology) or pendulum can be used to determine how many conings are needed and when you have completed your process.

Physically: This starts a cleansing process, which is normal. You may feel increased pressure in the ears, fluid in the ears, movement or inflammation of the lymphatic system. Your body is clearing. Allow it! Cranial fluids are being realigned. You may feel improvements in sight, color perception and balance. This is due to subtle changes in energy flow. (If the pressure reaches a point of distracting discomfort, a follow-up coning should be done as soon as possible, as a strong movement has begun which needs completion.) Drink lots of water.
Misalignment of occipital lobes, which lie underneath the base of the skull become pulled down from beneath the skull, as a result of stresses. The flow of cerebral fluid in the brain will become impaired, causing congestion in the ears, sinus cavity and neck tension, even moving to the shoulders. When coning, ongoing adjustment of the occipitals is recommended by chiropractic, though not absolutely necessary.

Metaphysically: Coning works directly on the chakra system to clear and strengthen the auric bodies. It is said to dislodge discarnate entities and negativity. It's like smudging your insides. The ear contains nerve endings and acupuncture points to every other area of the body, mind and emotions. The nerve endings are connected by streams of the subtle energy flow which carry our life force energy. If hearing is impaired or blocked, we are disconnected from that energy. Ear coning acts as a catalyst to clear out debris accumulated on nerve endings. This allows for clear vibrational flow to the corresponding area of the mind, body and spirit. This clears the way for other methods of healing.
