Ear Candling
Ear Candling or Coning is an ancient healing modality from Atlantean,
Mayan, Egyptian and Tibetan cultures. It is one of the many healing practices that have spent time in hiding. The practice was brought to Cairns in 1996 where it has become popular for its relaxing and gentle healing properties, easing ear, nose and sinus problems. However, it is not only the physical body that benefits from Candling. There are also esoteric values that are not usually addressed. Originally Candling was used in conjunction with initiation practice for spiritual leaders in order to strengthen their positions as bearers of great truths, open the spiritual centers and to clear and cleanse the physical as well as the emotional and auric bodies. It was used in conjunction with other healing practices and assumed a co-creative position with them.

Esoterically Candling works directly with the chakra system to clear and strengthen the auric bodies. Traditionally, the first seven Candlings worked to clear and strengthen the physical body and the first seven layers of the auric field. Each Candling would always affect the physical body and then affect whichever auric layer needed most to be cleared at that moment.
In the Egyptian tradition it was believed that the auric bodies release blocked energy in a sequence, for example, the first Candling affected the physical body and the first auric layer. The second Candling affected the physical body and the second auric layer and so on through the first seven Candlings. The eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh were performed in order to clear and strengthen the physical body and those bodies in the cosmic plane of existence in those crystalline bodies composed of extremely fine, high vibrations. These Candlings were thought to totally purify the physical body and to fine-tune the auric field in order to allow one to resonate in the purist form in preparation for supreme service or ascension.
