Evil Eye Egg Cleanse (Limpia) a Mexican Ritual Explained

Evil Eye Egg Cleanse

Feeling out of sorts lately? Perhaps it's time to try a limpia, or an evil eye egg cleanse! This traditional Mexican ritual, passed down through generations, can help to cleanse you of any negative energies you may have picked up along the way.

If you’ve been feeling off, or have been around someone whose vibes just didn’t sit right with you, the evil eye egg cleanse could be the answer. This ritual uses the purifying nature of eggs to absorb and dispel the bad energy.

So...Why Eggs?

Well, eggs are known to be natural energy absorbers. They’re perfect for performing an Evil Eye Egg Cleanse and drawing out the negative energy, leaving you feeling lighter and brighter. Ready to try it out? Here’s how you can perform your own egg cleanse:

Respect the Ritual: Approach the cleanse with good intentions and focus.

Prepare Your Space: Cleanse your egg in salt water, prepare a clear jar of lukewarm water, crack a window, light a white candle, and smudge yourself, your egg, and your space.

Cleanse: Starting from the crown of your head, move downward as you cleanse your body with the egg. This is the time to have a prayer or mantra to say. My Catholic mama always uses the Apostles Creed but say what feels right to you. Repeat three times.

Examine the Egg: After your cleanse, crack the egg into the jar of water and let it sit for five minutes. Never look down at the egg from above as this is believed to release the bad energies back to you. What you see can tell you a lot about the energy you’ve cleansed.

Dispose of the Egg: Do not eat the egg after the cleanse. Instead, dispose of it by flushing it down the toilet.

This is not a replacement for medical treatment. If you’re feeling physically or mentally unwell, seek professional help.

Still feeling those bad vibes after your egg cleanse?

If, after your egg cleanse, you still feel the negative energy around you and within you – my advice? Find a curandera (a healer). Ask around if you don’t know of any. If you are in the Treasure Valley Idaho area, my good friends at Nuestra Gente Wellness are wonderful.

You can also follow up your egg cleanse with burning some incense – palo santo can also be used to remove negative energy while increasing positive energy, and copal is known to ward off evil spirts and block negative energy.

Our tiendita offers multiple products to remove negative energy, increase positive energy, or help you ground yourself.

My Evil Eye Egg Cleanse Story

My mom has been know to have the evil eye, but not in a horrible way this was a more innocent type of evil eye. For example she would go to my Tia’s house and comment on how beautiful her roses were and then a couple days later they were all wilted. To this day if my mom comments on how lovely something is we tell her to touch it so she doesn’t give it “ojo”.

Here is another type of evil eye. Not that long ago I had an interaction with someone that I just knew meant me ill. I could feel the hatred. For a few months I was sick over and over, my kids were sick over and over, and even my very healthy husband was near organ failure. After talking to a friend she said “I think that person put a curse on you”…immediately I thought of Mal de Ojo | Evil Eye. I called my Mom and she agreed. I did a limpia right away and here were my readings.
