I finally got to do some ear candling on my husband last night,I used the Biosun ones and was really looking forward to his reactions.Immediately after the treatment he got very irritated.Now he has told me that he had nightmares all night,have not gone into the details of these as yet.While I think this is a good sighn and he is releasing blocked emotions,he is not too impressed.I used them to relieve sinus and to give him a nice relaxing treatment,I doubt if he will allow me to do this again.Has anyone any ideas on this or had similar experiences??,must go now as I can hear alot of clattering and swearing in the kitchen:eek:
Hi Star
I tried those ones not long ago, it was the first time i had ever tried them and i got my boyfriend to help me. I think the first ear it didn't really work (don't think i put it in far enough to create a vacuum, plus i wasn't very relaxed) the second ear i could feel it doing something but to be honest i didn't really notice much from it.
I have had nightmares for the last few months but i think that started before the ear candling. I wasn't aware ear candling was so powerful on a psychological level but then i suppose all therapies work on the same principle so maybe it is a kind of healing reaction. I know a lot of people find this a difficult concept to understand so explain it as best you can to him. The important thing to remind him is that dreams are just something conjured up in our imagination, they are not reality, so he needs to let go of these thoughts when he wakes up and not read too much into them. If it is the same dream re-occuring however, then it may be that there is a real issue he needs to address but its not necessarily what he thinks it is - dreams are normally symbolic. When he has faced the issue and found peace in his mind he will no longer have nightmares.
Oh course talking about it together if you can get him to open up is always a good start.
Peace and happiness to you both

Thanks for the reply Charlie B,well he has told me about the dreams or as he called them 'nightmares'.He said that he has had similar before, but not as dramatic,he remembers waking up and being totally relieved and then fell asleep only to be taken back there again.
Anyhow he is a Warrior, on an ORANGE/BROWN horse,and has two friends,they have to fight a large enemy.They do well,until the enemy gets bigger and bigger,by now he is walking on dead bodies.After alot of attacking with a large silver sword his two friends are killed,so he is left on his own.He manages to kill them all, except one,every time he knocks his head off another one appears,then someone whispers to him, telling him the secret to finally killing this enemy,it works.He does not remember what happened after this.
There is alot going on at the moment as regards DECISIONS, FIGHTING LOOSING BATTLES,FEELING LET DOWN,CLIMBING BACK UP THE LADDER etc,so we could relate to alot of this.Im not sure how to look at this, but I can understand he not wanting another treatment very soon.
I guess its like most therapies and their "healing crisis" heightened emotional states, vivid dreams or nightmares x
vivid dreams are quite common after holistic treatments - not just hopi ear candling. I've had some bizarre ones before which leave you feeling weird for the whole of the next day. I wouldn't avoid a treatment just ebcause I didn't want bad dreams again - it may not happen again - after all, healing responses seem to be more noticeable on the first treatment.
Yes,he has had the same dream the last two nights again,is this normal??.
Perhaps someone who can interpret dreams could offer their ideas,the dreams are still continuing and the most recent one was two nights ago,where he still a Warrior,but old,he is hiding in a convent,being taken care of by nuns.Its turning into a short story:D.Anyhow he believes this is so vivid that he is questioning his past lives.He has decided to have some past life therapy done.
And it sounds like a wonderful story waiting to be told - not wanting to be trivial though.
I had a hopi ear candle treatment yesterday and I also had dreams last night. However though I could remember them early now they have gone. I must say they were dreams and not nightmares.
My senses seem much clearer today and I also feel lighter. I will definitely be having another treatment at some point.
I was at a Healthy Living Show and it was a taster session. Previously I had picked up some candles for myself however used them on my fiance to help relieve his sinuses. He didn't seem to be put to up nor down by this treatment though. Perhaps I didn't do it properly. Also he doesn't sleep well anyway so maybe doesn't manage to go deep enough to dream.
Hope your boyfriend is ok Star.
