Limpieza

A Limpieza is a shamanic practice to cleanse the energies which interfere in our mental, physical, emotional and spiritual equilibrium.  

A chakapa and icaros (medicine songs) are used to call healing energies and guidance from the plant and animal spirit world, to release mental and emotional blockages.

Interfering energies are cleansed so you can vibrate in your own frequency and make space for new ways, new beginnings, in a natural and peaceful flow.

In traditional curanderismo, limpiezas (also called venteadas) are given for a variety of reasons, including: to induce healing, for energetic cleansing, to ground, and for protection. 

Ventear is a Spanish verb meaning, to bring or cause strong wind, and the association comes from the waving action created by the chakapa, a ritual leaf rattle that is used during the limpieza.
