Being 'Cleansed'

My teacher took me to see a Shaman to be cleansed, ie all bad spirits removed!
It involved being hit with a bunch of herbs and flowers (which smelt divine), having an egg rolled all over my body and head, then water sprayed on my face, neck and back and finally an ash cross put on my forehead, stomach and back!
Quite something for $2.50, not sure I felt any different but definitely an experience!
