Rapé

Imagine a sacred powder that, when entering your being, connects you with the jungle and its ancestral wisdom.
It is more than a medicine: it is a brain activation for spiritual healing and purification that harmonizes body and spirit balancing our feminine and masculine energies.

Rapé (herbal tobacco powder) is the sacred medicine of the Amazonian tribes, with which they use to blow the powder into the nose in a ceremonial way. The protective, cleansing and healing power of the Rapé mixture permeates our body in an intelligent way and awakens our consciousness. After the Rapé Medicina is served, we deepen the healing process with joint breathing exercises and a journey with a shaman's drum.

South American shamans use tabaco as a sacred, wholesome medicine and there exists a very close connection between tabaco use and shamanism that has little in common with our western way of tabaco use. Indigenous tribes use tabaco in ceremonies, to predict good weather, fishing, or harvest, and for spiritual (e.g. vision quest, trance etc) and curing purposes, but rarely for smoking. The use of tabaco by indigenous tribes in South America, such as the Kaxinawá, Nu-nu, Yawanawá, and Katukina, is profoundly entrenched in their culture, and has been employed at least since the Mayan civilization for ritual, medicinal and recreational purposes.

Preparations and participation conditions:

Try not to eat 4 hours before the ceremony. Avoid the consumption of mind-altering substances, alcohol, and caffeine on the day of the ceremony.

Application: A Ceremony Between the Giver and the Receiver

The Rapé is blown high up into the nostrils with a pipe made from bamboo or bone. The intense blow immediately focuses the mind, stops the chattering, and opens the entire freed mindspace for your intentions. Furthermore, this helps releasing emotional, physical, and spiritual illnesses and eases negativity and confusion, enabling a thorough grounding of the mind. Likewise, shamans use Rapé to re-align with their energy channels and with their higher self, and to intensify their connection with the world and the universe. In addition, Rapé paves the way for detoxifying the body and cleans out all excess mucus, toxins, and bacteria, thereby, assisting in fighting colds and snuffles. Moreover, Rapé stimulates the mind with its nicotinic content that in turn releases a.o. epinephrine, acetylcholine, and dopamine, supporting an increased focus, presence, and intuition. Rapé also decalcify the pineal gland, which is involved in melatonin secretion, circadian time perception, and drug metabolism. Calcification of the pineal gland has been associated with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, and fluoride exposure, which further stresses the importance of a healthy pineal gland.

Experience Sananga in Ceremony

Tabernaemontana sananho is a tropical tree species in the family Apocynaceae known as lobo sanango.

Traditionally, this medicine was used by hunters to prime their vision and being as the prepared to enter the jungle for the hunt. We use Sananga to support a deep cleansing of our vision as it clears away blocked energies on emotional, physical, and spiritual levels.

The word 'sananga' refers to a series of traditional eye drops used in some Amazonian cultures. Medicinal eye drops are used by Amazonian peoples such as the Matsés, Huni Kuin, Yawanawá and Ticuna for their broad-spectrum healing properties and as a source of spiritual exploration.

Improving eyesight with Sananga

Awaken the power of Sananga, a spiritual and therapeutic Amazonian medicine. Discover its healing properties and enhance your inner vision.

Improve vision – describing vision as being sharper, experiencing deeper color perception, and having a greater tolerance for bright light.

Enhance eyesight and have long been used by indigenous tribes to prevent and treat ocular diseases like glaucoma, cataracts, near-sightedness, and blindness. But sananga is also commonly used to treat skin diseases, infections, arthritis, cancer, and perhaps most interestingly, to clear a person of what is called panema—anxiety, depression, bad luck, negative energies, and laziness.
In fact, it’s by clearing this panema that sananga is said to promote overall eye health. As a shaman would explain it, sananga does its work not at the physical or cellular level but rather on an energetic level.
