An egg cleanse is a traditional form of energy cleansing used in various cultures, embodying the idea that eggs can absorb negative energies and impurities from the body and environment. This ritual can help restore balance, promote healing, and enhance spiritual clarity. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to perform an egg cleanse.
What You'll Need:
One uncooked egg (preferably organic) warmed to room temperature
A quiet space where you won’t be disturbed
Salt (for purification)
A clear glass cup or dish to crack the egg into, filled with room temperature water and sat long enough to be still
A candle (optional, for added intention setting)
Incense or herbs (optional, for cleansing the space)
Paper and pen (optional, for notes or intentions)
Steps to Perform an Egg Cleanse:
1. Set Your Intention
Before beginning, take a moment to clarify your intentions for the egg cleanse. Focus on what you want to release—whether it’s negative energy, emotional blockages, or other impurities. You may wish to write this down.
2. Prepare Your Space
Find a quiet place where you can perform the cleanse without interruptions. Cleanse the area using incense or herbs like sage or palo santo if desired. Light a candle to enhance the ritual’s atmosphere, focusing on your intention as you do so.
3. Ground Yourself
Take a few deep breaths to ground yourself. Visualize roots extending from your feet into the earth, connecting you with its stabilizing energy.
4. Begin the Cleansing Process
Hold the egg in your dominant hand, visualizing it as a vessel for absorbing negative energy. Start at the top of your head and gently roll the egg over your body, moving downwards. You can use a sweeping motion or gentle pressure, following these guidelines:
Forehead: Start at your forehead, moving the egg downward through your face.
Chest and Stomach: Continue down to your chest and stomach, feeling any tension or discomfort.
Arms: Move along your arms, paying attention to each individual limb. **Make sure to rub the egg on both palms.
Legs and Feet: Continue down your legs to your feet, ensuring you cover every part of your body. **Make sure to rub the egg on the bottoms of both feet.
5. Seal the Energy
Once you’ve finished rolling the egg over your body, hold it in your hands in front of your stomach and focus on sealing the energy. Mentally or verbally state your intention, affirming that the egg has absorbed all negativity, toxins, or unwanted energy.
6. Crack the Egg
Carefully crack the egg into a bowl or dish while stating your intention for release. As you do this, visualize the negative energy leaving your body and transferring into the egg. Pay attention to the appearance of the egg—some practitioners believe that the egg's color and texture can reveal insights about the energies removed.
DO NOT look down into the glass. I was taught this soaks the energy back into you.
7. Dispose of the Egg
Dispose of the cracked egg. You can take it outside and bury it, throw it into running water, or leave it in a place away from your home to ensure the energy is completely released. If burying, express gratitude for the process and the cleansing.
If you have a lot of bubbles, strings, or spots, you can add herbs to return the negative energy back. Allow this to set overnight, then dispose of in the toilet.
8. Cleanse Yourself
After disposing of the egg, take a shower or bath to cleanse your physical body. Use salt in your bathing water for added purification based on personal belief systems.
9. Reflect and Journal
Take a few moments to reflect on the experience. Write down any thoughts, feelings, or insights you may have gained during the process. Keep track of your intentions and any changes in energy you observe afterward.
10. Follow Up
Consider incorporating regular egg cleanses or similar rituals into your practice. Staying mindful of your energy and well-being can support your spiritual journey.
Performing an egg cleanse can be a powerful and introspective practice for witches seeking to release negative energies and restore balance. By setting clear intentions and connecting deeply with the process, you harness the natural properties of the egg as a tool for purification and healing. Always approach this ritual with respect and intention, allowing the egg to serve as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms.
