Rapé

Rapé Hapé shamanic plant medicine energy work ceremony shaman

Rapé or Hapé (pronounced Ha-pay) is a shamanic snuff that contains Nicotiana Rustica, a type of tobacco different than that used in cigarettes.  It’s combined with the bark, leaves, and seeds of various medicinal Amazonian plants, then finely ground and strained through mesh to create a powder.  This powder is blown into the nose of the recipient via a Tepi, a long pipe, with each unique combination of plants providing a different effect.  The effects are immediate and may include grounding, an opening of physical and spiritual awareness, presence, clarity, insights, and cleansing of the body and mind.  Rapé facilitators have received an initiation, as well as training on how to work with this sacred medicine.

This plant medicine is non-psychoactive but can induce a meditative state that calms the mind and offers a profound sense of embodiment, presence, and ease.

Each private ceremony is a personalized journey, held in a safe and intentional space. A typical session lasts 30 minutes.

Rapé can be a powerful enhancement to your Reiki or other energy work session, but is also wonderful as a standalone offering.
