Egg Cleanse: A Spiritual Practice for Cleansing
Egg cleanses, are an ancient form of spiritual cleansing that originated in Mesoamerican and Latin cultures. They are used to cleanse negative energy, restore balance, and provide insight into emotional, physical, or spiritual issues. The practice combines the power of the egg, symbolizing life and potential, with intention and ritual to release unwanted energy and gain clarity.
In this blog, we’ll explore what an egg cleanse is, how to perform one, and how to interpret the results.
What Is an Egg Cleanse?
An egg cleanse is a spiritual ritual where an egg is used to absorb negative energy from your body or aura. The belief is that the egg, with its connection to life and purity, has the ability to draw out dense or stagnant energy, emotional blockages, or any spiritual attachments. After the cleanse, the egg is cracked open and its contents are "read" to gain insight into your personal energy or spiritual state.
How to Perform an Egg Cleanse
Materials Needed:
1 fresh, uncooked egg (preferably organic or free-range)
A glass of room temperature water
Sea salt or Cayenne Pepper
A quiet, peaceful environment
Steps:
Prepare the Space: Cleanse the area where you’ll perform the ritual by burning Cedar, palo santo, or lighting a candle. You can also sprinkle Sea Salt in the corners of the room to create a protective boundary. Sit in a quiet, undisturbed area to focus on your intention for the cleanse.
Set Your Intention: Hold the egg in your hands and close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths, grounding yourself. As you do this, set a clear intention for what you want the egg to cleanse—whether it’s negative energy, emotional burdens, or a specific issue you’re facing.
Begin the Cleanse: Starting from the top of your head, gently roll the egg over your body. Make sure to move the egg in slow, circular motions, working down your body—over your face, neck, chest, back, arms, torso, legs, and feet. Spend extra time on areas where you feel tension, pain, or emotional heaviness.
As the egg moves over you, visualize it absorbing all the unwanted energy or negativity. You can also say a prayer, mantra, or affirmation as you do this, reinforcing your intention for cleansing.
Crack the Egg: Once you’ve completed the cleanse, crack the egg into the glass of water. Do this carefully, so the yolk remains intact. Let the egg sit for a few minutes.
Read the Egg: The egg will show you what negative energy has been removed so you can decide your next steps. (Divination, Cleansing, Spellwork)
Dispose of the Egg: After the reading, safely dispose of the egg in the toilet or outside, far from your home, ensuring that the energy absorbed is fully released.
How to Read an Egg Cleanse
The reading of the egg cleanse is an important part of the ritual, as it helps you understand the energy that was removed from your aura. Here are some common interpretations:
Clear Egg with No Signs: If the egg appears clear with no strings, bubbles, or unusual shapes, this is a good sign. It suggests that your energy is light, balanced, and free from blockages.
Bubbles or Air Pockets: If you notice bubbles in the water or around the yolk, this can indicate that negative energy was successfully absorbed and cleared during the cleanse. It may also symbolize unresolved tension or stress in your life.
Strings or Cobwebs: White, stringy lines coming from the yolk could indicate emotional or energetic attachments that are being cleared. This could represent stress from relationships or lingering negative influences.
Cloudy or Murky Water: If the water becomes cloudy or appears murky, it may suggest that there is a buildup of emotional or spiritual heaviness that needs more attention. You might need to perform additional cleansing or healing practices to fully clear this energy.
Blood or Black Spots: In some cases, dark spots, blood, or unusual marks may appear in the egg. This often suggests that deeper emotional or physical issues are present, and you might need to seek additional spiritual guidance or healing.
Multiple Yolk Sacs: Seeing more than one yolk sac can symbolize confusion, indecision, or being torn between two paths. It may be a call to realign your focus or address an important life decision.
Figures or Faces: Sometimes, you may see the outline of a figure, face, or shape in the egg. These can represent spirit guides, ancestors, or a reflection of the energy surrounding a person or situation in your life.
Aftercare: Restoring Balance
After completing an egg cleanse, it’s important to replenish your energy and restore balance. You can do this by:
Meditating or journaling about the experience
Taking a cleansing bath with Sea salt or essential oils
Spending time in nature to ground yourself
Drinking water and resting to nourish your body and mind
Final Thoughts
An egg cleanse is a powerful spiritual tool that can help you release stagnant energy, gain clarity, and connect with your deeper self. Whether you perform it regularly or as needed, it offers a simple yet profound way to nurture your energy and promote healing. Always trust your intuition during the process and use the insights from your cleanse to guide your spiritual journey.

Hello Everyone. I just completed my egg cleanse. In this process I lit a white candle and turned on some an african drumming music. After completing the practice, I found my cobwebs in my glass.. Not surprisingly so due to the high level of stress I've been experiencing. I felt the need to shower and rest. Before doing so, I set up a new altar and i'm giving thanks for new beginnings. I am also giving thanks to Luna. My appointment with her was unbelievable. I am just waiting for two more things she expressed to come to pass.
I feel good and grateful.
