What is rapé? Learn about the sacred, shamanic snuff.

Rapé is one type of holy snuff, produced by tribes in the Acre region of Brazil (for example, by a tribe Yawanawá, which is famous for its unique relationship with rape and it is safe to say that they are ambassadors of this medicine in the world) and used for thousands of years in the Amazon region as a A powerful yet gentle tool for the soul.

What is rapé really? It's A mixture of Mapacho tobacco powder and tree ashes, grated through a very fine sieve to a fine and dry dust in various shades of gray or beige. The process of rapé formation itself is mystical and multi-stage, and the ways in which individual plants are prepared often remain secret of the tribes. But be warned: no tobacco is used in rapé, which you may associate with cigarettes (Nicotiana tabacum), a Nicotiana rustica (or so-called bakun tobacco, or Mapacho). It is definitely stronger than "ordinary" tobacco, and gives a greater grounding effect, "embedding". The two types of tobacco also differ in color (Rustica is darker than tabacum). The use of tobacco itself by tribes in South America is ingrained in their culture and serves many different purposes: inducing trances, assisting in rituals for maturing women, in weather prediction ceremonies or during harvest. It is important for you to know rapé is absolutely not a drug or illegal substance - is a product that in its pure, natural form you can use or store without any problems.

Among the rapé you will find many different types of mixtures differing in composition, that is, primarily proportions and contents of various ashes from sacred, medicinal trees and such plants For example, cacao or Tsunu beans. Each provides different actions and sensations when taking the action.

Important: Rapé is not taken for entertainment purposes. The domain of rapé is knowledge, insight, meditation.

How rapé will work for you depends not only on the specific type of mix, but also on the From your intention, approach to the ceremony and psychophysical conditionThe situation you are in. If you don't feel up to it, aren't convinced that taking a rapé would be a good idea at the moment, don't force yourself, but consider whether the blockages you feel are genuinely the result of a conscious decision, or are they more the result of a fear of stepping out of your comfort zone, meeting each other "eye to eye," or a belief that rapé is something bad, wrong, that you have allowed to be imprinted on you by modern culture.

How to use the sacred rapé snuff?

Rapé can be used in two ways: by taking In ceremonial administration by another person or by yourself. Although they differ in mechanism, the goal of each method is to Blowing a powdered mixture of snuff and other plants into the nose. In both cases The important thing is intention, patience, time, the right conditions. I strongly caution against taking rapé "by any means," from an unverified source, or Without the right spiritual attitude - in this way you will not use the full potential of this miraculous substance.

How much rapé should one accept? This is quite an individual question, as each of us has a different tolerance. It is assumed that to begin with, it is advisable to take in in an amount no larger than a pea grain (half to each hole). It is worth approaching this issue intuitively, for example, start with a smaller amount and increase it or not depending on your needs.

What is the difference between ceremonial serving and rapé self-serving?

• Ceremonial application 

In the classic Rapé Ceremony, two people actively participate, with the rest of the group holding the space for the person receiving the rape . The shaman, or the person conducting the Ceremony, applies the rape to a special long A bamboo or bone tube, called a tepi. He then "fills" medicine with intention and blows the second rape to a participant in the Ceremony. Traditionally, the administration of the rapé begins with the left hole, which symbolizes death or saying goodbye to the old, and then proceeds to the right hole, which symbolizes rebirth or welcoming the new. I also personally apply rapé to all of the recipient's chakras to aid in its harmonizing effect. During the ceremony of giving rapé, an intimate connection is forged between the giver and the receiver, which requires the internal consent of both parties to exchange energy and breath. This consent is extremely important for the ability to carry out soul repair processes. The experience of the person administering the rapé is also important - ideally, it should be someone who can control their thoughts and is aware that they are sharing healing energy along with their breath. In addition, before such a person administers rapé, they should take medicine themselves to cleanse their mind, spirit and body of what is external or what could interfere with the process. Don't accept rapé from a person you don't know or who doesn't inspire your confidence, listen to your inner voice.

Rapé can also be self-administered using V-shaped tube, called a kuripe. How to do it. Simply scoop rapé into the tip of the kuripe applicator and place in the nostril. You need to put the other end to your mouth and blow the contents of the other tip into your nose, modulating your breath (it can be deep and long or short and dynamic). Before starting the ceremony, it is very important to set your intention, as this will direct the energy in the right direction. The order of applying kuripe (all chakras, left and right arm), is the same as for ceremonial administration. Here, too, it is important to administer medicine to both holes of the nose, one after the other - in this way You will harmonize the flowing energy and both cerebral hemispheres.

After taking rape, mucus, phlegm may appear in the nose and throat. Do not retain the secretion or swallow it. The best way to get rid of it is to spit it out or blow it into a special cup (known as a spittoon) or directly on the ground if you take rapé in nature.

Does rapé have side effects?

Rapé is a plant-based substance, safe for use. Provided, of course, that it is approached with due respect - As for medicine, not a stimulant conducive to entertainment. It is possible to experience temporary symptoms immediately after application in the form of dizziness, accelerated heartbeat, accelerated bowel movements, diarrhea or even vomiting, but all these symptoms pass very quickly (if they occur at all) and are part of the process.. If the symptoms mentioned above occur, it means that your body and energetics especially need cleansing and healing.

Try to feel what you are letting go at the moment, why you feel sick or even what you are vomiting. Who is drawing on your energy without your permission? Ask the rape spirit to help you stand in your truth. This process, although much gentler and shorter, can at certain points resemble the cleansing during an Ayahuasca Ceremony. For this reason, especially in your first contact with rapé, give yourself as much comfort and space as possible, for example in the form of comfortable pillows to lean on when you feel the cleansing process beginning. It's a good idea to do this near a toilet, and it's a good idea to have tissues, water or fruit juice on hand to replenish your body with natural sugars when needed.

Why do we love nature so much? Because it enabled us to survive many, many years ago. Studies show that frequent exposure to the forest has an impact on our immune system. Just one trip to the forest per month for a long walk keeps the immune system active. Let's walk up to a large tree full of wisdom that draws energy from our Mother Nature and embrace it fully with our hands. Let's close our eyes. Let's open ourselves to the transfer of beneficial energy to us. More and more people love trees and practice meditation with them, listening to the wonderful sounds of the forest. Also, we have more oxygen in the forest, and by being in the forest we can inhale the large amount of essential oils that the trees give off - thus protecting ourselves from bacteria. Stop in and smell the wonderful fresh pine scent! Also, did you know that we inhale a harmless bacteria in the soil when we walk in the woods that stimulates serotonin production in our brains? This weekend, take a walk or bike ride to a nearby forest and stop for a moment, stay with your thoughts by breathing deeply. Your mind will clear and have more energy to work effectively. Forest walks improve sleep quality and encourage exercise. In the forest, you can play boules, do meditation, yoga, read a book, or just lie and sunbathe. Each activity among the greenery wonderfully relaxes our whole body. Our mood improves and stress disappears.
