Energy can get heavy sometimes, whether from stress, negativity, or the weight of the world pressing down. If you feel drained, stuck, or just off, an egg cleanse (or limpia) is a simple and powerful way to clear unwanted energy.
This practice, rooted in various folk traditions, is often used to remove spiritual blockages, absorb negativity, and restore balance.
If you’re new to egg cleanses, don’t worry. I’ll walk you through exactly how to do one, how to read the results, and what to do afterward to keep your energy clear and aligned.
What you will need:
- 1 fresh, uncooked egg
- A glass of water (room temperature)
- A pinch of salt
- A quiet space where you won’t be disturbed
- A candle or incense

Step-by-Step Guide to an Egg Cleanse
1. Set Your Intention
Before you begin, take a moment to ground yourself. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and set a clear intention for the cleanse. You might say something like:
“I release all negative energy, blockages, and attachments. May this cleanse restore my balance and bring me clarity.”
You can also ask for their protection and assistance if you work with guides, ancestors, or deities.
2. Cleanse the Egg
Like any spiritual tool, you’ll want to cleanse your egg before using it.
You can:
- Run it under cool water while visualizing any residual energy washing away.
- Pass it through incense smoke (like sage, palo santo, or rosemary).
- Sprinkle it with salt or leave it in salt for a few minutes.
3. Sweep the Egg Over Your Body
Hold the egg in your dominant hand and gently roll or sweep it over your body, starting from the top of your head and moving downward. Pay extra attention to areas that feel tense, heavy, or blocked.
You can either roll it in circular motions or move it in straight lines. Trust your intuition.
Some people like to whisper a prayer, mantra, or affirmation as they do this.
For example:
“I release all that does not serve me. My energy is clear, strong, and protected.”
Make sure to cover your entire body, including the soles of your feet.
4. Crack the Egg Into a Glass of Water
Once you’ve finished, gently crack the egg into a glass of water and let it sit for a minute or two before reading the results.
How to Read the Results
Now for the fun part! The way the egg reacts in the water can reveal insights about your energy and any spiritual blockages you might be carrying.
Here is what to look for:
1. Clear Water, Normal Egg Shape: Your Energy is Light and Clear
If the water is clear and the egg looks normal, congrats! You don’t have any heavy energetic blockages, and your cleanse was more of a refresh than a deep clearing.

2. Cloudy Water or Bubbles: Energy Clearing in Progress
A slight cloudiness or bubbles rising to the top indicates that the egg has absorbed negativity or stress. It means the cleanse worked, but you may want to follow up with grounding practices like meditation or a salt bath.
3. Stringy Whites Reaching Up: Blocked or Stagnant Energy.
If you see strands rising upward, this can indicate energetic cords, attachments, or blockages.
This might mean you have been dealing with stress, a toxic environment, or even the effects of the evil eye. Consider doing another cleanse in a few days.
4. Red or Black Spots: Heavy Negative Energy
Dark spots in the yolk or red streaks can mean you have been carrying some intense energy from an external source (like jealousy, gossip, or negativity) or internal stress and emotional wounds.
If this shows up, take extra steps to cleanse and protect yourself, such as:
- Taking a salt or herbal bath
- Wearing protective crystals like black tourmaline or obsidian
- Doing a second egg cleanse in a few days
5. Face or Eye Shapes: Evil Eye or Psychic Attack
If you notice what looks like an eye in the yolk, this can be a sign of the mal de ojo (evil eye) or someone sending you negative energy.
This doesn’t necessarily mean intentional harm, but it does mean you should strengthen your spiritual protection. A simple way to do this is by wearing an amulet or carrying a protective charm.
What to Do After the Egg Cleanse
No matter your results, it is essential to dispose of the egg and water properly. Never keep it or dump it in the trash inside your home.
Instead, try one of these methods:
- Flush it down the toilet to fully remove the energy from your space.
- Bury it on earth as an offering and a way to neutralize energy.
- Pour it down the drain while running water to remove any lingering negativity.
I added cayenne pepper and hot sauce to mine, saying, “May every evil eye on me go blind, and may all negative energy being sent to me be returned to sender.”
I added cinnamon and salt for protection, stirred it up, and flushed it, visualizing all negative energy leaving my space.
Afterward, take a moment to close the cleanse by washing your hands with salt water or running them under cool water while setting the intention to seal your energy. You can also light a candle or say a small prayer of gratitude.
