HOW IS RAPÉ USED?
When we talk about ancient medicines, rapé has been one of those options that has spread from the Amazon jungle around the world. Part of its benefits is that it can be safely used alone, and in a time so full of stimuli with it (coupled with the global pandemic crisis that has generated fear, anxiety and depression in most of the population), it is an ancient medicine that will help you quiet your thoughts.

WHAT IS RAPE?
Rapé, hsoka, hosk-rapé (ground tobacco in French) or romé potó (tobacco powder for the indigenous) is an ancient medicine which is prepared by successively grinding tobacco with one or several plants, minerals and also bark and ashes that make up a subtle alchemy with a specific purpose for the elders or the shamans who prepare it.
( Benefits of rapé for your mental health )
Despite the ease of using it alone , it is important to remember that it is not for recreational use or purposes. It is a consecrated medicine for healing, therefore, it requires devotion and respect if you decide to include it in your lifestyle or to contribute to physical, emotional or spiritual ailments that you are experiencing at this moment of your existence.
If you want to share the medicine with another person you must be prepared. The reason is that there is an energy exchange and you must have the experience to be able to channel that energy. In the same way, you must be aware from where you offer the other person with your breath, what is the intention or ways of sharing that you are using in that exchange of medicine.

At Ancestrina we handle different types of rapé that we organize from their classifications (medium rapé, strong rapé, extra-strong rapé, visionary rapé) to their components that will work on different physical, mental, emotional and energetic levels ( KNOW THE 28 TYPES OF RAPÉS IN OUR VIRTUAL STORE ). Everything will depend on the healing plants that accompany this alchemical mixture and what they have been prayed for from the indigenous communities.
HOW IS RAPÉ USED?
- When you receive your rapé from Ancestrina or from the indigenous community you have visited, we recommend that you hold her presence at an altar or in a special place in your home.
- Prepare a place where you can enjoy silence and privacy. In the same way, we recommend that you put your cell phone in airplane mode and try to dissipate any distraction that does not allow your connection with the ritual that you will do next.
- When you prepare your sacred ritual space with rapé, you can locate an altar or a corner where all the elements of nature accompany you. For example: An incense (air or ether), a lit candle (fire), a bowl of water (water) and a material object that accompanies your intention (earth).
- Place a bit of rapé in your hand, have your kuripe (or autoprojector) within reach to prepare it, place the outlet of the kuripe in one of your nostrils and blow with the intention that you are needing at this moment ( visit our video THE MUFFLING OF THE RAPE ).
- Live the sensation that reaches your body with the ritual, hold the medicine and prepare for this inner journey that will speak to you in one way or another on your path of self-knowledge.
