    It was used in initiation ceremonies by the Egyptians, Mayans and Tibetans with profound results.
    Coning may provide these benefits:
    • Spiritual opening and emotional clearing
    • Auric cleansing
    • Realignment and cleansing of subtle energy flows
    • Acts as a catalyst to clear out debris from nerve endings allowing for clear vibrational flow
      to corresponding areas of mind, body and spirit
    • Facilitates other body work

    The cone is fired on wide end. The flow of the cone smoke stimulates the respiratory system to cleanse.

    Coning is very relaxing and non-invasive, and there is no heat felt in the ear canal.



    Ear coning, also known as ear candling or auricular candling, is a practice that involves inserting a beeswax or paraffin candle-like device into the ear canal in an attempt to extract ear wax and other impurities. It is said to have originated in ancient Tibet and been practiced in China, Egypt, India, and pre-Columbian America.
    To perform the ear coning procedure, the patient lies on his side with a collecting plate above his ear. The candle is inserted into the ear canal and then lit. After the candle finishes burning, the practitioner uses a cotton swab to remove visible ear wax and apply a special “ear oil” mixture. Most practitioners will then show the patient the residue left over from the procedure, claiming it is excess earwax, dirt, dead skin, toxins, or residue left from previous prescription drug use.


    Proponents of ear coning say the practice is a safe and simple home remedy that can help with a variety of ailments. For example, ear coning has been said to relieve sinus pressure, improve hearing, cure swimmer’s ear, stop earaches, and reduce pain and stiffness. The practice has also been said to reduce stress, stabilize emotions, purify the mind, and strengthen the brain. To maintain maximum health benefits from this form of alternative medicine, practitioners say it is best to perform the ear coning procedure two or three times per year.
    However, many medical experts say ear coning is not as safe as practitioners claim. There have been numerous reports of ear canal obstruction with candle wax, external burns, and perforated eardrums occurring as the result of ear coning. Hearing loss is also a possibility when the procedure is done by an inexperienced practitioner.

    I have removed all links from the op, as advertising is not allowed.

    I have to say, Im very skeptical of ear candling, and in the interests of balance Im linking to here. http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/candling.html

    People may find benefits to it, but its always worthwhile to understand all viewpoints on it.

    I remember looking into ear candling in the past and was put off by the overwhelmingly negative publicity. The vast majority of links and articles I could find seem to point to quackery.

    Out of interest what has it got to do with spirituality? The OP says it 'helps you grow spiritually,' though this thread seems like more of an advertisment than a discussion.
