AYAHUASCA “YAGE”

AYAHUASCA / "YAGE", AN ANCIENT MEDICINAL BREW WITH A HISTORY SPANNING OVER 5,000 YEARS AMONG INDIGENOUS AND ANCESTRAL COMMUNITIES IN COLOMBIA, HAS TRADITIONALLY BEEN USED BY SHAMANS, TAITAS, AND HEALERS TO ADDRESS THE AILMENTS OF THEIR PEOPLE. IN RECENT TIMES, THIS SACRED MEDICINE HAS TRANSCENDED ITS JUNGLE ORIGINS TO REACH URBAN SETTINGS, OFFERING EASIER ACCESS TO TRANSFORMATIVE CEREMONIAL EXPERIENCES. COMPRISING A HARMONIOUS BLEND OF TWO PLANTS - THE BEJUCO (CAAPI) AND CHAGROPANGA - AYAHUASCA / "YAGE" THIS POTENT MEDICINE HOLDS THE PROFOUND ABILITY TO EXPAND CONSCIOUSNESS, UNLOCK EMOTIONAL BARRIERS, AND FACILITATE DEEP HEALING ON PHYSICAL, MENTAL, AND SPIRITUAL LEVELS BY ADDRESSING TRAUMAS, FEARS, AND VARIOUS AFFLICTIONS THAT HAVE IMPACTED OUR LIVES. PARTICIPATING IN AN AYAHUASCA / "YAGE" HEALING CEREMONY IS OFTEN LIKENED TO A PROFOUND REBIRTH, OFFERING INDIVIDUALS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EMBARK ON A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY OF SELF-DISCOVERY AND GROWTH. BY SHEDDING LIMITING BELIEFS AND THOUGHT PATTERNS, WE CAN PAVE THE WAY FOR A TRANSFORMATIVE INNER EVOLUTION, LEADING TO A MORE FULFILLING AND PURPOSEFUL EXISTENCE.

AYAHUASCA / "YAGE", A LYSERGIC DRINK FROM TRADITIONAL AMAZONIAN MEDICINE THAT IS PREPARED WITH A MIXTURE OF PLANTS, IS INCREASINGLY USED IN THE WESTERN WORLD TO TREAT DEPRESSION AND ADDICTIONS. OUR PINEAL GLAND NATURALLY SECRETES SMALL AMOUNTS OF DMT, BUT WHEN CONSUMING AYAHUASCA / "YAGE" ITS LEVELS INCREASE IN THE BRAIN AND AN ALTERED OR EXPANDED STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS IS GENERATED, WHICH FAVORS THE PERCEPTION OF VISIONS; SOMETHING SIMILAR TO WHAT IS EXPERIENCED IN THE REM SLEEP PHASE, BUT IN A WAKING STATE. THE INFUSION RESULTING FROM COOKING THE MIXTURE OF BOTH PLANTS WITH WATER FOR DAYS HAS BEEN USED FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS BY AMAZONIAN TRIBES AS A FUNDAMENTAL INGREDIENT IN RITUALS -LED BY THE GROUP'S SHAMAN-, WITH THE AIM THAT THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE ACT FIND BALANCE AND ACHIEVE SELF- HEALING, SINCE THEY CONSIDERED THAT ILLNESSES HAD THEIR ORIGIN IN A SPIRITUAL IMBALANCE, WHICH COULD BE CORRECTED WITH THIS TYPE OF CEREMONIES, WHICH ARE PART OF TRADITIONAL AMAZONIAN MEDICINE.

PEYOTE IS A SPINELESS CACTUS FROM THE DESERTS OF MEXICO AND THE UNITED STATES THAT CONTAINS MESCALINE. DIFFERENT NATIVE PEOPLES OF NORTH AMERICA AND MESOAMERICA HAVE TRADITIONALLY USED PEYOTE SINCE ANCIENT TIMES FOR MEDICAL AND RELIGIOUS PURPOSES. IT IS KNOWN BY MULTIPLE NAMES, AMONG WHICH THE FOLLOWING STAND OUT: PEYOTE, PIOTE, JÍCULI, HIKURI, DEVIL'S ROOT, SHALLOT, PUDDING CACTUS, MESCAL BUTTON, PEOTE, GROUND PRICKLY PEAR AND WHISKEY CACTUS.

ANTHROPOLOGICAL EVIDENCE FOUND IN SOUTHERN TEXAS AND IN SOME PLACES IN MEXICO SUGGESTS THAT THE PRACTICES OR RITUALS IN WHICH PEYOTE WAS USED IN INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF THESE AREAS MAY BE UP TO 5,700 YEARS OLD. RECENT STUDIES HAVE CARBON-DATED DRIED PEYOTE BUTTONS FOUND IN SHUMLA CAVE 5 IN RIO GRANDE, TEXAS, AND THE BUTTONS WERE FOUND TO BE BETWEEN 3780 AND 3660 BC. THESE BUTTONS STILL CONTAINED 2% MESCALINE, MAKING THEM THE OLDEST PSYCHOACTIVE BOTANICAL SAMPLE EVER FOUND. PEYOTE HAS A BITTER AND ACRID TASTE AND USUALLY INDUCES NAUSEA AND MORE RARELY VOMITING. THE EFFECTS OF PEYOTE TAKE SOME TIME TO MANIFEST. THIS PERIOD OF ONSET OF EFFECTS CAN LAST BETWEEN 2 AND 4 HOURS. THE EXPERIENCE THEN CONTINUES FOR ABOUT SIX MORE HOURS BEFORE GRADUALLY FADING AWAY. THE TOTAL DURATION OF THE EXPERIENCE IS USUALLY AROUND 10-14 HOURS.

THE EFFECTS INDUCED BY PEYOTE, AND ITS MAIN PSYCHOACTIVE ALKALOID, MESCALINE, BELONG TO THE GROUP OF SO-CALLED "CLASSIC PSYCHEDELIC" EFFECTS, ALONG WITH LSD, PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOMS (PSILOCYBIN), AYAHUASCA, AND DMT. PEYOTE SHARES WITH THIS GROUP OF SUBSTANCES THE ABILITY TO INDUCE PROFOUND CHANGES IN PERCEPTION, CONSCIOUSNESS AND COGNITION. VISIONS WITH OPEN AND CLOSED EYES MAY APPEAR, INCREASED SENSORY PERCEPTIONS (BRIGHTER COLORS, SOUND IS PERCEIVED WITH GREATER DEPTH), AS WELL AS EXPERIENCES OF PSYCHOLOGICAL INSIGHT AND TRANSCENDENT AND SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCES, AS WELL AS CHANGES IN THE PERCEPTION OF SPACE, OF TIME AND SELF-IMAGE.

PIECES WITH THE TOBACCO ELEMENTAL ARE POWERFUL AND SACRED TOOLS IN THE REALM OF SPIRITUAL HEALING. THEY ARE USED TO CLEANSE THE AURIC FIELD, BALANCE THE CHAKRAS, REMOVE SPIRITUAL LARVAE, AND OPEN PATHS TO PROTECTION AND ABUNDANCE. THIS CLEANSING PROCESS IS NOT ONLY PHYSICAL BUT ALSO ENERGETIC; IT ALLOWS US TO RELEASE NEGATIVE BURDENS THAT MAY BE AFFECTING OUR WELL-BEING.

DURING CLEANSING SESSIONS, THE TOBACCO GRANDFATHER ACTS AS A SPIRITUAL GUIDE. HE OFTEN SENDS CLEAR MESSAGES TO THE PERSON RECEIVING THE CLEANSING, PROVIDING GUIDANCE ON FUTURE SITUATIONS THAT COULD IMPACT THEIR LIFE. IN ADDITION, THIS ELEMENTAL HAS THE ABILITY TO CONNECT US WITH OUR PAST, HELPING US IDENTIFY PATTERNS OR WOUNDS THAT MAY STILL BE INFLUENCING OUR PRESENT. THIS INTROSPECTION IS CRUCIAL FOR OUR PERSONAL GROWTH, AS IT ALLOWS US TO WORK ON WHAT WE REALLY NEED TO IMPROVE OUR DAILY QUALITY OF LIFE. IT IS VITAL TO KEEP IN MIND THAT NOT ALL PRACTITIONERS OF THESE CLEANSINGS HAVE ADEQUATE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE TOBACCO ELEMENTAL. CHOOSING THE RIGHT PERSON TO GUIDE US THROUGH THIS PROCESS IS CRITICAL, AS POOR PRACTICE CAN BE DETRIMENTAL RATHER THAN BENEFICIAL. PRACTITIONERS WHO UNDERSTAND AND RESPECT THE SCIENCE BEHIND THIS ELEMENTAL ARE THE ONES WHO CAN OFFER TRUE HEALING.

IN ADDITION, BY OPENING PATHWAYS TO PROTECTION AND ABUNDANCE, TOBACCO HELPS US TUNE INTO HIGHER ENERGIES AND ATTRACT POSITIVE OPPORTUNITIES INTO OUR LIVES. THIS PROCESS NOT ONLY TRANSFORMS OUR EMOTIONAL STATE, BUT ALSO IMPACTS OUR RELATIONSHIPS, OUR ENVIRONMENT, AND OUR ABILITY TO MANIFEST WHAT WE DESIRE. IN SHORT, CLEANSING WITH THE ELEMENTAL OF TOBACCO IS A PROFOUND AND TRANSFORMATIVE PRACTICE THAT CAN GUIDE US TOWARD A MORE BALANCED AND FULFILLING LIFE.

TABACCO

FOR CENTURIES, INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF THE AMAZON HAVE HARNESSED THE UNIQUE PROPERTIES OF KAMBÔ FOR ITS POWERFUL HEALING AND CLEANSING EFFECTS. TRADITIONALLY, THIS SUBSTANCE IS BELIEVED TO BOLSTER THE BODY'S NATURAL DEFENSES, HELPING INDIVIDUALS TO RECOVER FROM AILMENTS AND MAINTAIN OVERALL HEALTH. BEYOND ITS MEDICINAL USES, KAMBÔ IS ALSO THOUGHT TO WARD OFF BAD LUCK AND NEGATIVE ENERGIES, PLAYING A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN THE SPIRITUAL AND CULTURAL PRACTICES OF THESE COMMUNITIES.

IN ADDITION TO ITS HEALTH BENEFITS, KAMBÔ HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH ENHANCED STAMINA AND IMPROVED HUNTING SKILLS, WHICH WERE CRUCIAL FOR SURVIVAL IN THE DENSE AMAZON RAINFOREST. BY USING KAMBÔ, HUNTERS BELIEVED THEY COULD INCREASE THEIR PHYSICAL ENDURANCE AND MENTAL FOCUS, ENABLING THEM TO PURSUE GAMES MORE EFFECTIVELY. THIS DUAL PURPOSE - BOTH AS A TOOL FOR PHYSICAL HEALING AND AS A MEANS OF IMPROVING ONE'S ABILITIES IN A CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENT - HIGHLIGHTS THE MULTIFACETED SIGNIFICANCE OF KAMBÔ IN INDIGENOUS TRADITIONS. AS SUCH, KAMBÔ IS NOT JUST A SUBSTANCE FOR MEDICINAL USE; IT IS DEEPLY WOVEN INTO THE FABRIC OF CULTURAL IDENTITY AND PRACTICES, REFLECTING A PROFOUND UNDERSTANDING OF THE INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF BODY, SPIRIT, AND NATURE.

KAMBÔ IS THE POPULAR NAME BY WHICH THE TRADITIONAL MEDICINE EXTRACTED FROM A SPECIES OF AMAZONIAN FROG IS KNOWN. USED AS A TRADITIONAL REMEDY IN THE AMAZON, KAMBÓ IS THE COMMON NAME USED IN SOUTH AMERICA TO REFER TO THE SKIN SECRETIONS OF PHYLLOMEDUSA BICOLOR, A TREE FROG. INHABITS CERTAIN PARTS OF THE AMAZON RAINFOREST. THESE SECRETIONS ARE CHARACTERISTIC OF THE PHYLLOMEDUSA FAMILY AND HAVE TRADITIONALLY BEEN USED AS MEDICINE BY INDIGENOUS TRIBES, SUCH AS THE KATUKINA, YAWANAWA, CASHINAHUA AND MATSÉS. INTEREST IN THE HEALING POTENTIAL OF TRADITIONAL AMAZONIAN PLANTS AND ANIMALS, SUCH AS KAMBÔ, AYAHUASCA "YAGE" OR THE SECRETIONS OF THE TOAD BUFO ALVARIUS, AMONG OTHERS, IS INCREASING IN MODERN URBAN CIVILIZATIONS, POSSIBLY DUE TO A GROWING DISSATISFACTION WITH WESTERN MEDICINE THAT IT DEVELOPS IN PARALLEL TO THE EQUALLY GROWING INTEREST IN ALTERNATIVE MEDICINES AND AMAZONIAN SHAMANISM.

KAMBÔ

YOPO (ÑUA) IS A NATURAL ENTHEOGENIC MEDICINE WHOSE ORIGIN AND FIRST USES ARE FOUND IN THE VENEZUELAN AMAZON IN THE PIAROA AND YANOMAMI PEOPLES. IT IS PREPARED WITH THE GROUND SEED OF THE ANADENANTHERA PEREGRINA PLANT THAT, THROUGH A PROCESS OF MIXING WITH OTHER ASHES AND PLANTS, IS SHAPED INTO SMALL PLATES OR BLACK CAKES THAT WILL BE THE ONES THAT ARE LATER GROUND BEFORE INHALATION. THE FACT THAT IT IS LIKE THIS IS PRECISELY SO THAT THE YOPO LASTS LONGER AND DOES NOT RUST AND LOSE POWER. THE EXPERIENCE BEGINS 5 MINUTES AFTER INHALING THE YOPO. THE BODY BEGINS TO HEAT UP AND YOU BEGIN TO FEEL A PLEASANT TINGLING THROUGHOUT THE BODY. IT IS AT THIS TIME THAT VOMITING CAN BEGIN, WHICH HAS THE PURPOSE OF DETOXIFYING THE BODY AND OPENING AND UNBLOCKING ALL THE ENERGY CHANNELS. IT IS THEN WHEN THE VISIONS BEGIN THAT HAVE THE PURPOSE OF MISALIGNING AND CONFUSING YOU IN ORDER TO OPEN UP NEW PERCEPTUAL SPACES.

IT IS IMPORTANT NOT TO TRY TO ANALYZE THEM OR PAY TOO MUCH ATTENTION TO THEM, IT IS ONLY IMPORTANT TO SURRENDER TO THE EXPERIENCE AND FEEL, THUS GOING THROUGH THE VISIONARY PART THAT IS THE MOST SUPERFICIAL OF THE EXPERIENCE TO ENTER A PERIOD OF TURBULENCE WHERE IT SEEMS THAT THEY ARE BEATING YOUR MIND STIRRING IT UP TO MESS UP THE EGOIC PERCEPTION OF SEPARATENESS AND THUS OPEN A DIRECT HIGHWAY TO THE SKY OF UNITY WHICH IS WHERE THE EXPERIENCE TAKES YOU. YOU IMMERSE YOURSELF IN AN IMMEASURABLE FEELING OF GRATITUDE AND UNDERSTANDING FROM WHICH TO DISCOVER YOURSELF, OTHERS AND LIFE FROM THE EYES OF LOVE. ONLY FROM LOVE CAN WE REALLY KNOW OURSELVES BECAUSE LOVE IS WHAT WE ARE. ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION ONLY LEAD US TO A DISTORTED AND FRAGMENTED IMAGE OF OURSELVES. THAT IS WHY THIS TYPE OF MEDICINE SUCH AS YOPO FIRST DIZZY THE "ANALYZER" THAT IS IN US IN ORDER TO FULLY ENTER INTO AN EXPERIENCE OF TOTAL SYNTHESIS WITH EVERYTHING. AN OCEANIC EXPERIENCE WHERE A FRESH AIR IS FELT WITHIN US THAT EXPANDS AND EXTENDS US, MAKING US ONE WITH NATURE.

THE EXPERIENCE IS LIVED WITH THE EYES CLOSED AT THE BEGINNING AND IN THE INDICATED POSITION. THIS PART LASTS APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES AND ONCE THE STATE OF FULLNESS HAS BEEN REACHED, WE STAY IN IT FOR 2 TO 3 HOURS. THEREFORE THE STRONGEST AND MOST INTENSE PART OF THE EXPERIENCE IS AT THE BEGINNING LEADING US LATER TO AN EXTENSIVE AND DEEP EXPERIENCE OF SIMPLY ENJOYING AND BEING. YOPO IS THE PERFECT BRIDGE BETWEEN AYAHUASCA AND BUFO ALVARIUS. THE FIRST PART OF THE EXPERIENCE IS IDIOSYNCRATIC TO YOPO ITSELF, BUT THEN IT GRADUALLY LEADS US TO AN EXPERIENCE SIMILAR TO AYAHUASCA THAT LEADS US ELEGANTLY AND WITHOUT THE SHOWY REACTIONS OF BUFO ALVARIUS TOWARDS AN EXPERIENCE OF COMPLETION. WITH YOPO YOU ACCESS ALL THE MASKS AT THE SAME TIME, AND YOU CAN OBSERVE CONDITIONS THAT ARE NOT EASILY VISIBLE WITH OTHER MEDICINES.

YOPO/ÑUA

PSILOCYBIN, THE ACTIVE COMPOUND FOUND IN CERTAIN SPECIES OF PSYCHEDELIC MUSHROOMS, HAS BEEN KNOWN TO INDUCE PROFOUND SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCES THAT CAN DEEPLY IMPACT ONE'S PERCEPTION OF SELF, REALITY, AND THE UNIVERSE. WHEN CONSUMED IN A CONTROLLED AND INTENTIONAL SETTING, PSILOCYBIN CAN FACILITATE A JOURNEY OF SELF-DISCOVERY, INTROSPECTION, AND INTERCONNECTEDNESS THAT IS OFTEN DESCRIBED AS SPIRITUAL. DURING A PSILOCYBIN EXPERIENCE, INDIVIDUALS MAY UNDERGO A RANGE OF SENSORY AND COGNITIVE ALTERATIONS, INCLUDING HEIGHTENED SENSORY PERCEPTION, VIVID VISUALS, ALTERED SENSE OF TIME, AND A DISSOLUTION OF EGO BOUNDARIES. THESE EFFECTS CAN LEAD TO A SENSE OF UNITY WITH THE UNIVERSE, FEELINGS OF INTERCONNECTEDNESS WITH ALL LIVING BEINGS, AND A PROFOUND UNDERSTANDING OF THE INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF ALL THINGS.

MANY PEOPLE REPORT EXPERIENCING A DEEP SENSE OF AWE, REVERENCE, AND INTERCONNECTEDNESS WITH NATURE AND THE COSMOS DURING A PSILOCYBIN JOURNEY. THIS HEIGHTENED STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS CAN EVOKE FEELINGS OF TRANSCENDENCE, EGO DISSOLUTION, AND A SENSE OF ONENESS WITH THE UNIVERSE OR A HIGHER POWER. OVERALL, A SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE WITH PSILOCYBIN CAN BE TRANSFORMATIVE, OFFERING INDIVIDUALS A WINDOW INTO PROFOUND TRUTHS ABOUT EXISTENCE, CONSCIOUSNESS, AND THE INTERCONNECTED WEB OF LIFE. IT CAN INSPIRE PERSONAL GROWTH, SELF-REFLECTION, AND A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF ONE'S PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE, LEADING TO LASTING CHANGES IN PERSPECTIVE, BELIEFS, AND BEHAVIORS.

PSILOCYBIN

RAPÉ IS A TOBACCO POWDER WITH ASH FROM NATIVE TREES. IT IS CONSIDERED A SACRED MEDICINE USED ANCESTRALLY BY THE INDIGENOUS TRIBES OF THE AMAZON BASIN. IT IS ADMINISTERED NASALLY BY BLOWING AND EACH OF THESE BLOWS CONTAINS AN INTENTION (A PRAYER).

BENEFITS:

IT EXPANDS AND BALANCES OUR ENERGY FIELD, CALMS THOUGHT, DECONGESTS THE NASAL PASSAGES, AND IS AN EXCELLENT NATURAL ANXIOLYTIC, IT ALSO ALLOWS US TO GET IN TOUCH WITH OUR "INNER TEACHER" BY ACTIVATING AND IMPROVING VISION AND THE CLARITY OF OUR MIND. THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE TOBACCO KILLS INSECTS AND "BUGS" IN GENERAL, ON THE PHYSICAL PLANE, AS WELL AS ON THE ENERGY PLANE, SO IT WOULD HELP US ELIMINATE, EVACUATE, EXORCISE MENTAL PARASITES (NEGATIVE THOUGHTS, TIREDNESS, RELUCTANCE, FEARS, ETC. ). IT SENSITIZES PERCEPTION, ALLOWING US TO OBSERVE MORE BROADLY THE CAUSE AND ROOT OF OUR AILMENTS IN HEALING PROCESSES, HELPS IN HEALING THE LIVER AND REMOVES FEARS, PHOBIAS, RAGE, ANGER, ETC. TOBACCO IS THE MASTER OF CEREMONIES, ONE OF THE FIRST ELEMENTALS ON EARTH HAS BEEN USED IN RITUALS FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS AND IS THE MASTER PLANT PAR EXCELLENCE. BRING PEACE AND GOOD UNDERSTANDING TO OUR LIVES.

THE SNUFF IS NOT SNIFFED BECAUSE IT DOES NOT FOLLOW THE SAME PATH IN THE BRAIN NOR DOES IT CARESS THE PINEAL GLAND IN THAT WAY, THEREFORE IT IS ESSENTIAL TO HAVE A SELF-APPLICATOR (KURIPE) FOR IT.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USE OF RAPÉ:

RAPÉ SHOULD BE TAKEN IN BOTH NOSTRILS. EACH OF THE CAVITIES REPRESENTS AN ENERGETIC CURRENT OF THE BODY:

THE LEFT SIDE

THE MOON CHANNEL (RECEIVER – YIN). IT GIVES THE POWER OF THE EMOTIONS IN THEIR PURE STATE, PROVIDING THE QUALITIES OF DEEP JOY, PURE LOVE, COMPASSION AND ARTISTIC ABILITIES. THIS SIDE IS THE FEMALE. TYPICAL PROBLEMS ON THE LEFT SIDE ARE EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT, DEPRESSION, LOW SELF-ESTEEM, GUILT, OR LETHARGY.

RIGHT SIDE

THE CHANNEL OF THE SUN (EMITTER – YANG). IT WOULD GIVE POWER TO THE RATIONAL MIND, WHICH ALLOWS LEARNING AND OBTAINING THE NECESSARY STRENGTH TO OVERCOME PROBLEMS THROUGH EFFORT. IT IS THE MASCULINE SIDE. TYPICAL PROBLEMS ON THE RIGHT SIDE ARE SELFISH OR VIOLENT BEHAVIOR, ARROGANCE, AND PRIDE.

BALANCING THE TWO HEMISPHERES OF THE BRAIN, OUR FEMININE AND MASCULINE SIDE, YIN AND YANG, AND THEN IN THE HEART, THE CENTER.
TO RECEIVE THE MEDICINE WE MUST BE RECEPTIVE, STILL AND HOLDING OUR BREATH. CLOSING THE GLOTTIS PREVENTS THE SNUFF FROM GOING DOWN INTO THE THROAT AND BRONCHI. THE WESTERN PRACTICE OF SNORTING MONKFISH IS A DISTORTION OF THE ORIGINAL DESIGN OF THIS MEDICINE. WHEN INHALED, THE MONKFISH DOES NOT REACH THE FRONTAL CAVITIES OR SINUSES, AND IT DOES PENETRATE THE LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT CAUSING IRRITATION. IN THIS WAY IT DOES NOT FULFILL ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF CLEARING THE MIND AND THE HIGHER CHANNELS.

SHARING RAPÉ IS A CORNERSTONE OF AMAZONIAN LIFE AND THE POWDER IS USED IN RITUALS, BUT ALSO IN A MORE CONVENTIONAL SETTING WITH FRIENDS. THERE ARE TWO BASIC WAYS OF ADMINISTERING RAPÉ: BLOWING (WHERE ANOTHER PERSON BLOWS THE POWDER INTO YOUR NOSE WITH A TEPI) OR BY SELF-ADMINISTRATION WITH A TWISTED WOODEN TUBE CALLED A KURIPE. THE GREAT ADVANTAGE OF USING THE KURIPE IS THAT YOU HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OF THE DOSE.

RAPÉ OR HOSKA

THE "PURGE" IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE DURING CEREMONIES AND MAY INVOLVE INTENSE EMOTIONAL RELEASE. WHILE THE PURGE EXPERIENCE CAN BE CHALLENGING, IT IS CONSIDERED AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE HEALING PROCESS IN TRADITIONAL CEREMONIES. HERE ARE SOME POTENTIAL BENEFITS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PURGE DURING AN CEREMONY:

1. PHYSICAL CLEANSING: THE PURGE IS OFTEN VIEWED AS A PHYSICAL DETOXIFICATION PROCESS, WHERE THE BODY RELEASES TOXINS AND IMPURITIES. THE PURGE IS SEEN AS A WAY FOR THE BODY TO EXPEL PHYSICAL BLOCKAGES AND CLEANSE ITSELF.

2. EMOTIONAL RELEASE: THE PURGE CAN ALSO BE A CATHARTIC EXPERIENCE, ALLOWING INDIVIDUALS TO RELEASE PENT-UP EMOTIONS, TRAUMAS, AND NEGATIVE ENERGY STORED IN THE BODY. IT CAN PROVIDE A SENSE OF EMOTIONAL RELEASE AND RELIEF, LEADING TO A FEELING OF LIGHTNESS AND EMOTIONAL HEALING.

3. SPIRITUAL CLEANSING: IN MANY TRADITIONAL PRACTICES, THE PURGE IS BELIEVED TO CLEANSE NOT ONLY THE PHYSICAL BODY BUT ALSO THE ENERGETIC AND SPIRITUAL BODIES. IT IS SEEN AS A WAY TO RELEASE NEGATIVE ENERGIES, ATTACHMENTS, AND BLOCKAGES THAT MAY BE HINDERING SPIRITUAL GROWTH AND WELL-BEING.

4. SYMBOLIC REBIRTH: THE ACT OF PURGING IS OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH A SYMBOLIC REBIRTH OR TRANSFORMATION. IT IS VIEWED AS A SHEDDING OF OLD PATTERNS, BELIEFS, AND BEHAVIORS, PAVING THE WAY FOR NEW BEGINNINGS AND PERSONAL GROWTH.

5. INTEGRATION AND HEALING: THE PURGE EXPERIENCE CAN ALSO FACILITATE INTEGRATION OF THE INSIGHTS AND HEALING RECEIVED DURING THE CEREMONY. BY PURGING, INDIVIDUALS MAY FEEL A SENSE OF CLARITY, RENEWAL, AND ALIGNMENT WITH THEIR INTENTIONS FOR HEALING AND TRANSFORMATION.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO APPROACH THE PURGE EXPERIENCE WITH AN OPEN MIND AND TRUST IN THE PROCESS, AS IT IS OFTEN SEEN AS A NECESSARY STEP ON THE PATH TO HEALING AND SELF-DISCOVERY DURING AN CEREMONY.
