About the book
A practical, step-by-step guide to limpias (shamanic cleansing rituals) from Erika Buenaflor, tracing modern curanderismo practices to indigenous Mesoamerican roots. The book explains different types of limpia ceremonies (fire rites, water rites, sweeping rites), the tools and plants used, medicinal chants, and how limpias heal and revitalize people and spaces. Drawing on the author's 20+ years as a curandera and graduate studies in Mesoamerican shamanism, it includes techniques for self-empowerment, soul retrieval, and testimonials of healing experiences.
