Have you ever felt mysteriously drained after someone stared at you too intensely? Or noticed a sudden headache after receiving excessive compliments? Your abuela might have called it "mal de ojo" – the evil eye – and she was tapping into ancient wisdom about energy transfer that modern science is only beginning to understand.

In this illuminating bonus episode, I respond to a listener's question about cultural energy practices and dive deep into the mystery of mal de ojo. This isn't about superstition; it's about energy misdirection that can affect your wellbeing. I share my childhood experience with a traditional egg cleansing (limpia con huevo) and explain why babies are particularly vulnerable to these energy imbalances. You'll discover practical protection methods including the significance behind those red bracelets, deer's eye seeds, crystal work, and the power of intentional prayer – regardless of your religious background.

We also untangle the crucial difference between envidia (envy) and jealousy – terms often used interchangeably but representing fundamentally different emotional states. Jealousy fears losing what you have, while envidia wants what someone else possesses. This distinction matters deeply for your healing journey. I guide you through self-reflection questions to transform these challenging emotions into catalysts for growth rather than sources of shame. The episode concludes with a guided energy cleansing meditation you can return to whenever you feel energetically compromised. Remember, spiritual hygiene is just as essential as physical cleanliness – it's about reclaiming your energetic sovereignty.
