Homonym: limpias (Cleansing)
A "limpia" is a traditional cleansing ritual commonly practiced in various cultures, particularly in Latin America. It aims to remove negative energy, bad luck, or spiritual blockages from a person or space. The process often involves the use of herbs, flowers, and other natural elements, which are believed to have purifying properties.
During a limpia, a practitioner, often referred to as a curandero or healer, may use techniques such as sweeping, rubbing, or blowing to facilitate the cleansing. The ritual can also include prayers or chants, enhancing the spiritual aspect of the process and promoting emotional and physical well-being.
