What Happens in an Ear Candling Session
- You will lie down on your side, a candle will be lit and placed carefully in your ear.
- You may hear sizzling, popping or rushing sounds, it is a very relaxing noise sensation.
- After approximately 8-10 minutes the candle will be removed and extinguished.
- You will then be asked to turn on the other side and the same process will happen.
- As I am a practising Reiki Master-Teacher you will also benefit from the flow of universal healing energy during the candling session.
- Once both ears have been candled, you will be asked to lie on your back
- A facial massage and lymphatic drainage massage will be carried out, this is very relaxing, helps drainage and stimulates the lymphatic flow in the jaw.
- You will then be given time to come around and sit up and a glass of water.
- I will then share with you some aftercare advice and discuss future therapy benefits.
- If you have any questions please ask.
There are many benefits to ear candling, as well as those mentioned above it is very relaxing and cleansing. There is a feeling of clarity and space after a session. The massage at the end is also very relaxing and by encouraging the muscles to relax may release pressure, tension and pain.
