LIMPIAS
The Power of 3:
Egg, Plants &Herbs & Sacred Smoke
Limpias are traditional spiritual cleansings rooted in the ancient wisdom of Curanderismo.
For generations, limpias have been practiced throughout Mesoamerica as a way to cleanse the energetic, emotional, and spiritual bodies. Passed down through the hands and hearts of our ancestors, Limpias are ceremonies of release, of realignment, of remembering who you are beneath the burdens you carry.
​
Every limpia I offer begins with a PLATICA—a heart to heart conversation to open sacred space and set intentions. This is a time for connection, a moment to honor your journey and the energy you carry.
Together, we’ll call in and honor the sacred directions, our ancestors and spirit allies, before diving into the healing work. ​
LIMPIA WITH HERBS AND PLANT ALLIES
Using fresh, aromatic herbs such as ruda, romero, albahaca, and others (Rue, Rosemary, Sage), I sweep the body and energy field. Each plant carries its own spirit, its own medicine.
These plant allies help to:
-
Pull out heavy or intrusive energies
-
Reconnect you to the spirit of Earth
-
Bring your body, mind, and spirit back into balance
This is an act of remembrance—of the ways our grandmothers and healers before us worked with what the land provides.
EGG LIMPIA
This ritual has been practiced since ancestral times across many Indigenous cultures. Known as la LIMPIA DE HUEVO, it is a traditional way of clearing negative influences, envy, and spiritual disturbance from the body and spirit.
The egg, though humble, is powerful. It is a symbol of life, potential, and protection. In this ritual, it becomes a vessel for absorbing what does not belong.
A limpia is often done after emotional distress or when you feel “off” in your energetic body. It’s like giving your spirit a deep, gentle scrub to clear away the heaviness of negative energy.
As the egg moves over your body, it gently draws out:
-
Emotional blocks
-
Spiritual heaviness
-
Energetic disturbances such as mal de ojo (evil eye)
When the limpia is complete, we crack the egg into a glass of water to witness what was released. The shapes and patterns that appear become a divinatory tool—offering insight into the nature or origin of what was carried.
It’s not just a cleanse. It’s a message.
SAGE AND COPAL SMOKE LIMPIA - PURIFICATION WITH SACRED SMOKE
For generations, smoke has been used by Indigenous peoples as a way to cleanse the spirit, carry prayers, and restore harmony to the body and energy field.
In my practice, I use copal and sage—each offered with respect to their origins and the spirits of the plants themselves.
-
Copal, the sacred resin of Mesoamerican trees, connects us to the divine. Its rich, ancient scent opens portals to spirit and helps release what no longer serves.
-
Sage, is used to purify and protect. Its smoke is grounding and clarifying, sweeping away energetic debris and making way for renewal.
During a smoke limpia, I use the smoke to:
-
Sweep through your energy field
-
Dislodge and clear spiritual heaviness
-
Strengthen your connection to spirit, Earth, and self
A ceremony of fire, breath, and sacred plants working in harmony.
