Make sure the person you are about do ear candling on is in a relaxed mood. Put on some soft music to relax them, and let them breath softly for awhile. Let them lie on their back and place a towel around their neck to protect them. Provide a comfy pillow that they can balance their head on and put a towel on the pillow too.

Make sure you have a bowl full of water nearby in case the flame is too much. Light the end of one of your ear candles or cones and tap it a bit until a little smoke comes out the small end. Once this happens, place the small end into the person's ear carefully. There shouldn't be any smoke escaping from the ear at this time.
