Up to 60% of the human body is composed of water, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. This may be why many of us have an affinity for water, be it surfing, diving, or boating. For those of us who are a little less adventurous, regular trips to the beach or living near the ocean may suffice. With our love for the water, it then makes sense that we can easily incorporate it into our rituals to increase positive energy in our daily lives. Remember the stories of the mythical Fountain of Youth? This is where Florida water gets its name. Can an egg absorb negative energy? According to many, the answer is yes. A ritual developed from this belief, which is said to have its origins in Mexico and parts of Central America, though it is now practiced in many regions of the world. The Spanish name for this practice is ‘la limpia’ (the cleanse), or ‘limpia de huevo’ (egg cleansing). |
