Rapé Applicator
To receive this ancient medicine we must be receptive, and in inner stillness. We will always try to take it in an appropriate place, and focusing a beautiful prayer or intention towards the sacred snuff.
There are many people who have given up the habit of smoking after starting to take Rapé. Some people ask: Does Rapé vitiate? The ritualistic use of Rapé does not vitiate, but its misuse can vitiate people who take it without a spiritual purpose.
The Rapé blows
There are several breaths that can be used, varying in duration, intensity, and closure. The breath used in the projection and the connection we have with medicine also greatly influences the effect of the Ancestral rapé.
When Rapé is used, we must bear in mind that what enters us are sacred plants from the mountains, the forest, and the healing or healing spirits of the Amazon jungle. Therefore, it is always good to have respect towards the sacred tobacco and towards all the ancestral energies of the Amazon and nature.
Rapé is a sacred medicine, a powerful spirit of the forest that must be treated as such. It is a very strong medicine that can bring good or bad depending on its use.
Rapé is not taken every moment. For those who study it, it is recommended to take it in the morning, on an empty stomach, at the end of the afternoon, after work and at night, before going to sleep, to bring good dreams and have a peaceful night. In rituals it can be taken several times depending on the need. For those who study it, it is advisable to take breaks for a few days.
It is not recommended to take Rapé under the sun, especially when the sun is more intense.
You should avoid applying Rapé in public (who are not familiar with this practice). According to the Huni Kuin, the person who applies it can receive a negative energy from the person who observes, since by not understanding it, they see in the intake a vice instead of a sacred medicine.
You should also avoid very strong and very weak murmurs, which are not good for the person applying or for the person receiving.
It is not recommended to lend the application instruments, mainly the kuripé, unless it is a person who takes Rapé and in whom you fully trust.
Only take Rapé from whom you know and trust. Avoid taking Rapé of unknown origin.
