A Hopi ear candle is a cotton tube, impregnated with beeswax, honey and therapeutic oils, that is painlessly inserted into the ear to draw out impurities, relieve pressure in the head and sinuses, and aid hearing problems.
The candles are made from natural ingredients that include sage, St Johns wort, camomile and beta-carotene. Otherwise known as thermo-auricular therapy, the original source of the technique seems to be from medical ceremonies performed by a native American Indian tribe called the Hopis (meaning 'peaceful people').
Clients are usually advised to remove makeup and jewellery before the treatment starts. Fully dressed the client lies down on their side, with their head supported on a pillow so the auditory canal is vertical. The candle is then lit and the non-burning end is placed gently into the outer ear passage and is turned lightly to seal it in place.
The candle then generates a pleasant crackling sound and a warm, comfortable feeling while it draws out the impurities from the ear. After around 10 minutes the process is repeated on the other ear. This is followed by a period of relaxation, and sometimes a facial massage concentrating on the sinus areas.
When lit, the ear candle generates a gentle heat which, when combined with the therapeutic oils, produces a light suction action. This is known as the chimney principle, and works by drawing impurities gently to the surface, where they can be removed.
Most deposits evaporate and are carried away through the candle chimney, but some are found in the condensed candle wax residue after it is removed from the ear. None of the candle residue actually goes into the ear.

Matrix Reimprinting is a meridian energy therapy developed from EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques). It is a therapy that allows you to access and transform painful memories that may be holding you trapped in the past. Matrix Reimprinting uses classic EFT techniques that are based on the traditional Chinese Medicine Meridian Energy system that has been used in acupuncture for thousands of years. It also incorporates the laws of quantum physics, to produce a dynamic therapy where the results are both rapid and lasting. Matrix Reimprinting uses conventional EFT which involves tapping on acupuncture points with your fingertips whilst at the same time focussing on the issue to be changed. This will remove the emotional intensity out of a past memory. What you are then left with is to be able to recall your most traumatic and stressful life memories without any emotional disruption or stress, which is extremely beneficial, as negative past memories keep the body in a state of stress and can contribute to disease. However, with Matrix Reimprinting the memory is actually transformed. You can go into any past memory, say and do what you wished you had said and done, bring in new resources, and create and transform the picture you have of that memory.

The Sedona method is a technique, not unlike coaching, but one that specialises in dealing with letting go of any unwanted emotion and allowing some of the suppressed energy in our subconscious to dissipate.
The benefits claimed are overcoming the way in which we each constantly sabotage our health, happiness and success unintentionally, due to our unresolved thinking, beliefs and attitudes. Yet even when we know a thought, belief or attitude is not serving us, most of us find it very difficult to change it or let it go. The reason for this problem is very simple: our emotions colour, create, and lock these limitations in place, making the limitations supposedly real. It is our emotions that either put us into action or prevent us from acting. The Sedona Method will show you how to master your emotions, thereby mastering how you think and act and therefore how you feel.
