Limpia de Huevo - Egg Cleanse

Hola todos,

I wanted to take some time to talk about limpias de huevos—or egg cleanses, as many of you may call them.

First things first, let me make something clear: everything I’m about to share comes from my personal learnings—wisdom passed down from my family and my studies in curanderismo. Different people have different ways of doing things, and that’s okay. This is what I’ve learned and what I personally practice.

What Is an Egg Limpia?

Egg cleanses have deep roots in curanderismo, dating all the way back to indigenous Mesoamerican traditions. Over time, the practice has evolved, but the essence remains the same—it’s all about clearing spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental blockages that weigh on the soul.

A limpia can help:

✨ Remove negative energy, bad luck, and the evil eye (mal de ojo)

✨ Clear up emotional and mental fog

✨ Break spiritual attachments or brujeria

✨ Ease insomnia, nightmares, and mysterious exhaustion

✨ Open the path when you feel blocked in life, love, or business

It’s just as important as energetically cleansing your space, because let’s be real—we interact with so many energiesevery single day. Some of them are light, some are heavy, and some just aren’t meant for us.

When Should You Do an Egg Limpia?

Here are some signs it might be time to pull out an egg and cleanse yourself:

• You’re constantly tired for no clear reason

• You feel emotionally or mentally drained

• You’ve been having bad dreams or restless sleep

• You’re going through financial struggles or unexpected losses

• You sense tension in your relationships for no obvious reason

• You feel like things aren’t flowing the way they should be

• You suspect you might have mal de ojo or negative energy on you

How to Perform an Egg Limpia

You’ll need:

• A white candle

• An egg (room temperature works best)

• Salt

• A glass of water (halfway full)

• Holy water, charged water, Florida water, or flor de naranjo

Step 1: Set the Space

• Light your candle and let it burn during the cleanse. Do NOT blow it out—let it burn out on its own.

• Grab your egg and anoint it with your choice of cleansing water. This sets the intention that the egg will absorb all stagnant and negative energy from your body.

Step 2: The Cleanse

• Start at the top of your head and slowly move the egg down your body.

• As you do this, say a prayer, mantra, or affirmation—something that aligns with your beliefs and sets the intention for clearing. (Some people use the Lord’s Prayer, others use personal protection prayers.)

• Go over your entire body from head to toe, front and back.

Step 3: The Reading

• Crack the egg into your glass of water and let it sit for a few minutes.

• The egg will reveal what was affecting you, but this is where intuition comes in—there’s no one-size-fits-all interpretation.

Common Egg Readings & Meanings

Here are a few things you might see:

👁️ Bubbles around the yolk – Lots of built-up energy or spiritual exhaustion

🩸 Red or black spots – Could indicate an underlying illness or heavy energy

🌀 Swirling figures or cloudy whites – Emotional stress or unresolved trauma

🔮 Figures in the yolk – Spirits may be trying to send you a message

👀 An "eye" in the yolk – Mal de ojo (evil eye) confirmed

🔄 Yolk floating up instead of sinking – Someone is actively sending negativity your way

🌿 Clear water & normal yolk – You’re good! Nothing major affecting you

💡 Pro Tip: If you’re unsure about your reading, trust your intuition. You can also use a pendulum, tarot, or other divination tools to clarify.

Disposing of the Egg

• Add salt to the glass to neutralize the energy.

• Flush it down the toilet or dispose of it far away from your home, I know some live in apartments so it's hard.

🚨 VERY IMPORTANT: Do NOT take a picture of your egg from the top-down. This can undo the cleanse, and you’ll have to do it again.

Final Thoughts

Limpias are powerful but should be done with respect. Anyone can do them, but they’re not just some trendy ritual—they hold deep spiritual significance.

Cleansing yourself, your space, and even your belongings can make a huge difference in how you feel and move through life. Just don’t forget to protect and invite in good energy after your limpia!
