Session Description

WHAT IS RAPÉH? Rapéh (Officially written as Rapé and pronounced as “ha-peh”) is a plant medicine from the jungle made by the tribes from Brazil. Rapéh is a powder that looks like ash that is made from tobacco leaves and other trees from the jungle. This sacred tobacco is called Mapacho and carries the spirit of the Grandfather. This spirit brings protection, connection, removes blockages and healing. What Happens When Rapé enters your nose, it immediately permeates through your mucous membranes into your bloodstream. The constituents attach to nicotine receptors, resulting in increased production of dopamine, acetylcholine, and epinephrine. These chemical processes cause the person to feel relaxed and calm, yet aware and alert. It happens quickly and often feels like a jolt, yet it typically doesn’t cause anxiety or fear. You should close your eyes, breathe slowly, and focus on your intention when the effects quickly start to set in. Most people experience watery eyes due to the sensitivity of the nose, and also due to the fact that Rapé is a purgative for many. That said, sometimes people experience crying, extra salivation, sneezing, vomiting, or the need to have a bowel movement. This is normal and part of the process, as one of the purposes of Rapé is to cleanse and purify the mind and body. Here are the medicinal, healing effects that may happen in the process. Medicinal and Spiritual Benefits Again, there are different types of Rapé because shamans use different plants to create the powdery mixture. Nonetheless, here are some of the mental and physical effects. Mental and Spiritual Effects Rapé brings you to a place of acute attention and awareness. The mind becomes quieter, negativity clears our, and emotional tensions release. People often feel more grounded during the experience, allowing them to clear up confusions or discomfort about an issue they may have been experiencing. If you focus on the intention you set, you may easily find what you were looking for, be it a state of consciousness or an answer to a question. Your mind gets purged of everything it needs to let go of. The body often follows suit. Physical Effects We mentioned the purgative effects of Rapé. While many people may think of this as not an ideal situation, the purgative and expectorant properties of Rapé is why it’s good for your immune system. Through forcing a release of toxins, mucus, and other unwanted things in the body, Rapé helps purify your system. No
