Ear Candling is an ancient technique that can alleviate allergies, sinus conditions, hearing loss, earaches, tinnitus and balance problems. A hollow cloth candle is lit and gently inserted into the ear. This creates a gentle vacuum that removes excess ear wax, fungus, Candida, and bacteria from the ear canal and sinuses, leaving one feeling relaxed, clear, and with a remarkable sense of well being.

Ectoplasm is the matter from ghosts/spirits which makes it possible for them to materialize and perform feats of telekinesis. For some strange reason, ectoplasm is often not visible to the naked eye but appears in photographs. This may be due to the fact that most cameras are more sensitive to the spirit world than most people.

Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) is known as one of America's greatest psychics. His followers maintain that Cayce was able to tap into some sort of higher consciousness, such as God or the Akashic record, to get his "psychic knowledge." An excellent introduction to the life of Edgar Cayce is the book There is a River by Thomas Sugrue.

EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing is a method of therapy that uses carefully guided repetitive eye movements, similar to those of REM or dream sleep, to help access and process information stored in the body/mind. When limiting beliefs, debilitating emotions, images and body sensations related to upsetting past and present life conditions are released, there is more ease, and ability to access one's inner wisdom and resources. Creativity and performance are enhanced, and often people open to a spiritual dimension of their lives.

An enneagram is, literally, a nine-sided drawing. Figuratively, however, the enneagram is a New Age mandala, a mystical gateway to personality typing. The enneagram represents nine personality types, defined by a fundamental weakness or sin. There are three enneagram points for each of the mental types, emotional types and physical types. The nine points of the enneagram reflect the tendencies of these three basic types. The origins of the enneagram are shrouded in mystery, but one finds references to Sufism, the kabala, Zen, various mystics and mystical traditions, and ultimately to Georges Ivanovitch Gurdjieff, who supposedly brought the enneagram to the west.

Extrasensory perception, commonly called ESP, is perception occurring independently of sight, hearing or other sensory processes. ESP is divided up into telepathy, clairvoyance and precognition. The existence of ESP and paranormal powers such as telekinesis, are disputed, though systematic experimental research on these subjects, known collectively as psi, has been ongoing for over a century in parapsychology.
