The Ancient Healing Art of Egg Cleansing


by Kalyn
================================================
A bit mysterious, very unique, but very pleasurable, egg cleansings are a form of healing still little known outside of Mesoamerica. For centuries curanderos, or shamans, have helped their people find spiritual, physical, emotional and mental health through their native ways. Their healing techniques are many, but one of the most powerful methods used by Mesoamerican shamans is the egg cleansing.
Egg cleansings, or limpĂ­as, are a unique healing that works by running a raw egg over the body of the person being cleansed. As simple as this may sound, the effects are remarkable. The egg cleansing works to clear a client’s energy field, ridding energetic and physical toxins. Clients are energetically opened and loosened, relaxed and brought to a more blissful state. Clients overwhelmingly report feeling physically lighter, happier and more balanced after a cleansing session.

So, what is so magical about an egg? Egg cleansings are performed by shamans using smoke and an egg. Unlike most healing forms that move slowly or focus on one area of the body at a time, egg cleansings require constant motion as the shaman runs the egg over the client’s entire body. Between the egg and the smoke (traditionally incense from the dried sap of the Copal tree) that is blown over and onto the client, the cleanse works with both the energetic and physical aspects of the person. This is one of the great advantages to the egg cleanse – its beneficial effects work to touch the aura and the structured aspects of the client, (the structured aspects being the physical, emotional and mental bodies). 

One of the most magical parts of the egg cleanse takes place after the cleanse when the shaman reads the client’s egg.

I studied with Maria, a local curandera in the Mexican Yucatan, to develop my intuition to read the egg. After working with Mother Sarita, a well-known healer and curandera, I began my own cleansing work. Mother Sarita is the mother of the Nagual don Miguel Ruiz, best selling author of The Four Agreements. Don Miguel was my spiritual teacher at the time. In my training with Mother Sarita, I learned several shamanic healing techniques, but the egg cleansing was one of the most unique and effective. Both Maria de Tulum and Mother Sarita are curanderas con sabidura, or shamans with the ability to "see" beyond time and space.

A seemingly light, mystical and fun experience, egg cleansings are powerful and transformational. Their purpose is to work with nature to restore a place of balance and connection for us. Those experiencing it are literally lifted to a new place- their vibration is continuously lifted through this ancient healing form. In this lifted state, they feel healthier, more powerful and more capable in life.

In the process of exploring her Mayan roots, Kalyn has studied egg cleansings with curanderos and shamans in the Maya Caribbean (in Mexico) and with Mother Sarita, the well-known curandera and mother of best selling author of The Four Agreements, don Miguel Ruiz. Kalyn now shares this ancient energetic healing in her new book Shamanic Egg Cleansings ( Lightwurks LLC Publishing) www.eggcleansing.com.
