Visual findings of improvement in immune function have been confirmed in more detail through muscle testing (kinesiology). Not only has the activity of the white blood cells become more precise and effective, other aspects of the immune system have also improved tremendously. The overall effect is that the whole of the immune system is more alert, more mobile and more assertive after each ear candling session
Lymphatic drainage, which apart from being an essential tool in the clearing out of toxic material also houses a vast array of immune cells, improves significantly with ear candling. Dramatic visual descriptions of swollen lymph glands disappearing under ear candling treatment as snowballs in the sun, have been reported. More commonly diffuse lymphatic swelling in the neck and throat area has been seen to disappear after treatment. Even finger swelling has diminished as reported by individuals because of loosening of rings they wore. The initial drainage is most notably seen in the area from the ears upwards, including the cranial cavity, the sinuses, the area around the eyes, the middle and inner ear areas. This also establishes an unceasing of the cranial sutures (blockage of these causes a lot of problems as demonstrated in cranial osteopathy), a re-establishment of the articulation of the cranial sutures and of the smoothness in rhythm of the cerebral spinal fluid pumping mechanism as well as the cranio-sacral articulation pump (again, such problems highlighted in osteopathy). Further sessions drain the lymphatic system from the collarbone up; from the mid-chest up; from mid-abdomen up; down to the thighs and working its way towards the toes until the entire body's lymphatic system becomes really clear and functioning. Not only does this indicate the role ear candling plays in the cleansing of the body but it also shows the accumulative effect of regular ear candling sessions whereby the clearing and cleansing of tissues continues down the body structure, rather than having to start from scratch each time when we allow too much time to lapse between sessions.
A commonly recommended treatment schedule is 3 treatments of 2-4 candles per ear within 10 days. Three additional treatments of 2-4 ear candles per ear over the next 3-4 weeks. The number of candles per ear depends upon body size and level of congestion/illness. The bigger and sicker a person is the more they will benefit from additional candles in each treatment. After this 6 treatment protocol re-evaluate and proceed as required aiming for 3-4 bursts of 2 sessions back to back per year. This will build a very strong level of health within the person on many levels. With almost absolute predictability the healing energy delivered to the body by the ear candling process will be delivered to the systems most in need. The body is a completely conscious being, knowing precisely what is happening with every cellular structure at all times. It will therefore provide the largest amount of corrective power to the systems in greatest need, a balancing effect to the areas less in need, bringing virtually all systems to an even platform of function, then raising the capacity of function across the whole board up to an ideal optimal health level. In other words, what is most urgent will get the extra energy input first, and sometimes it isn't at all where we would have expected it.
Emotional Effect
Research in the last two decades has been able to demonstrate not only the fact that emotions influence our state of health but also that all feelings and emotions are translated into chemicals in all systems within the body. When a person is in a stressful state, their body biochemically produces stress-related chemicals. Those stress-related chemicals have health reducing effects such as: the stomach produces more acid and the duodenum more digestive juices in an erratic way, the mobility of the stomach and gut increases dramatically, the circulation is constantly kept high, the breathing becomes much more rapid and shallow. This serves to reduce the digestive fire for the burning of the food we consume, leading to a toxic build-up. The senses are heightened, the adrenals show a massive increase in activity, muscles are in a state of permanent tension, and so on. Stress also changes the blood flow patterns in the brain, in the limbic and endocrine systems draining blood away from those centres most responsible for clear cognitive emotionally balanced states of living. On the other hand, when a person is calm, peaceful, in a loving-centered state, that state of mind produces positive healing chemicals. Parts of the endocrine system which are more active in a relaxed calm state will be primarily, the pineal gland, the pituitary gland, the thalamus and the hypothalamus. Both states, stressed and relaxed, result in neuro-chemical activity: one producing highly toxic substances, the other very powerful healing chemicals. We have the ability to choose through our thoughts and actions the state we live in, stressed or relaxed. We do have the choice!When a person is joyful, calm, peaceful, in a loving-centred state, that state of mind produces positive healing chemicals. Parts of the endocrine system, which are more active in a relaxed calm state, will be primarily: the pineal gland, the pituitary gland, the thalamus and the hypothalamus. The amygdala and hippocampus (two parts of our limbic system controlling primal behaviours which monitor the presence of danger and sensory information, as well as mood control) will command less control in a relaxed calm state. Chemicals, produced as a direct result of our emotions, are responsible for how we physically feel. It is the long-term direction, which these chemicals give to the tissues they govern that will produce either a long, well balanced, non-stressful cell life or a disrupted, unbalanced, damage inducing life. Cancer is certainly one of many eventual outcomes of a long-standing stressful and unbalanced cell stimulation or suppression.
A well documented and universally agreed effect of ear candling is a feeling of complete relaxation. People always comment on how they could "go to sleep" even during the treatment. This state produces the appropriate chemicals to reverse any negative and stress induced effects which the body may have been living under for a considerable time; in other words, a healing state . The overall benefit on the health of the person in view of the above is now obvious. W.A Chapman's book "Your Cosmic Destiny" in which he describes experiments in the psychology laboratory, they found that hatred, anger and jealousy caused different coloured condensates from calmness and contentment, which upon analysis contained deadly poisons. The poison of a few minutes jealousy is enough to kill a guinea pig. An hour of hatred produces enough poison to kill 80 guinea pigs; on the other hand, happy, loving peaceful emotions produce some of the most powerful healing chemicals known to mankind. If you have somebody who is in the cancer therapy treatment protocol, the thing which causes cancer to grow faster than anything else, is fear. Fear causes cancer to grow faster than anything else they have been able to identify. If a person is in a fearful state, there is automatically a fight/flight state which is prolonged for the whole time the fear resides within. The adrenals as well as the amygdala and hypocampus will be kicked in a very high functional level and the chemicals produced in the body as a consequence will be of a very toxic nature. Ear candling will instantaneously normalise the level of overexcitement in the function of these glands while dramatically boosting the systems that are in a low energy state - the pineal, the pituitary, the thalamus, the hypothalamus - systems responsible for producing very powerful healing neuro-chemicals. Ear candling instantly affects the entire glandular system and brain region energy distribution in a very positive manner. Within the space of a few treatments ear candling works to bring the entire glandular and limbic system to a very harmonious ideal state of function. This is commonly achieved by the sixth session. As a result people are more emotionally balanced; they are more enabled, feel more capable, relaxed, less threatened, and have more hope. Hope is a powerful "molecule".
The Life Force and Healing
The energy systems of our being; aura, chakras and meridians interface with our bodies electrical system, the nervous system. The intertwined function of this group provides the electrical grid that delivers life force energy to all parts of our being, to each cell of our body. If the energy grid experiences disrupted flow, then a direct result will be a reduction or a disturbance to the function of the particular physical part supplied with this "less than optimal energy". This will directly reduce the health capacity of that part of the body. On the other hand, strengthening the energy systems provides us with excellent resistance to ill health.In Chinese medicine the key factor to health is a strong balanced acupuncture meridian flow carrying Chi "life force" to all body parts. In particular the kidney organ/meridian Yin energy is seen as a vital store house of life's energy. Strengthening the state of kidney energy and its distribution is essential to any form of healing process. Clinical research has shown that, of the systems receiving healing energy from ear candling, the Yin aspect of the kidney meridian is very often in the top three. This whole concept is of extreme importance to our health and it is no surprise that in Chinese medicine the ears relate directly to the kidneys. Cold is damaging to the kidneys. With ear candling the heat of the flame creates a reverse flush of energy back down to the kidneys filling them with warmth and vitality, providing a storehouse of "life energy".
In East Indian Medicine it is the flow of Prana "life force" which determines the capacity for vitality in all body parts and aspects of our lives. The central part of the Prana movement, the "spine" as it were, is from the base of the physical spine upwards in a kind of double helix fashion around a central straight channel. The chakra at the base of the spine, called the root chakra, houses the "Life Energy" and therefore has a very close connection with the physical body. It provides it with vitality and strength, and relates to our survival instinct and procreation. The root chakra has been shown to react very quickly and positively to ear candling, gaining power and strength. From here, more energy will be distributed all the way up the spine fanning out into all body tissues. The upward movement of this energy, our life force, travels into the brain region, stimulates key areas, and then opens and strengthens the crown chakra. This chakra - the place of the fontanel (soft spot on the baby's head) - provides us with access to the universal healing energy (Yang Energy).
We find evidence of this in clinic research showing the posterior aspect of the pituitary gland (a Yin consciousness building centre) to be the most common number one priority system to receive healing energy from ear candling. Clients often develop a greater inward strength and knowing of "self" from continued application of ear candling (Yin consciousness), often translated into less fear and greater personal assurance. The free flow of "life energy" is enhanced as a result of ear candling, clearing and strengthening all aspects of chakras, meridians and aura. Hence the entire energy grid is much improved in its ability to deliver life force energy to every cell in our body. Cells in a state of ill health will rely on the powerful input of this life force energy to be able to regain health.
Conclusion
As shown, illness is created by a long-standing stress on the natural processes. The accumulative effect of this situation leads to physical malfunctioning, such as cancer. As the only thing that caused the disease is the body and mind itself, so it is the only thing that can ever heal it. The healing will have to come from within, and can only be achieved by supporting and sustaining a natural balance within the functions of the whole body-mind person.In order to relieve the stress caused by progressive malfunctioning one has to "clear up" the system as best as one can. This can be achieved through stimulation and support of the elimination systems. To this effect it is essential to reduce the negative influences and build-up of toxins, to strengthen the immune system, and to increase elimination. All of these processes require extra energy input. Ear candling not only delivers that extra energy, it also mobilises the immune system throughout; it increases lymphatic drainage allowing areas to be cleaned up; and it delivers through positive mood changes a series of balancing chemicals which brings the whole systemic function back into a smooth operation, creating an environment conducive to healing and the building of health.
