Ear Candling

Before heading off for the Christmas break I decided to book myself in for a little treat, I took myself off to DK Aromatherapy for a candling season, now that might mean something kinky sexual to some people * but that's not what I was interested in (on this occasion at least)
I had a little chat with the therapist about my needs, was I stressed? Yes just a little. How was I sleeping? Quite restless at the moment. Was I tired? Ummm yes, but isn't everyone 7 days before Christmas and other such deep and meaningful questions. I was tempted to ask if she had enough different smells in her scent box for someone like me but I didn't. Instead I slipped off my outer garments and snuggled under the warm blanket. Soft dolphin type music playing quietly in the back ground and she started.

Using warm essential oils she began to massage my face, now I have had many massages before but this was particularly lovely as my sinuses had been playing up recently, I relaxed under her touch and drifted off to that special place ........ bliss. Then after what seemed an age she asked me to turn on my side, with a match she lit one end of a long funnel and put the other end (luckily!) in my ear, I could hear the sound of the flames which sounded strangely soothing, as the vacuum was created and impurities began to be drawn towards the flame she massaged my neck and my face. It was lovely! Finally she removed the candle and put it in a small cup of water then asked me to sit up. I thought I should just turn over but no she insisted I sit up, she passed me a mirror and told me to look at what my face was like after half a treatment, well it was bizarre! It looked like I had had half a face lift! My skin was glowing and fresh, taut and smooth! The other side of my face looked as normal, which is not to say I look terrible, but I looked tired. I quickly lay down and asked her to work her magic on the rest of me, suddenly worried that she would demand triple charges for the other side of my face which of course I would have to pay unless I wanted to walk out of there lopsided! But she didn't she did exactly the same with the rest of my face. At the end of the treatment I lay there, close to sleep and so so not wanting to get up and get dressed and head out into Midlevels madness. So instead I decided to give myself a Christmas treat....... I asked if she had any clients booked in for the next hour, she didn't, so I then treated myself to a wonderful massage. Of which I will talk about another time. Oh yes, when I was all finished she showed me the insides of the candles, it seems I have more impurities on my left than my right!
