Parika Hapé

Hapé Benefits

Hapé brings you to a place of acute attention and awareness. The mind becomes quieter, negativity clears out, and emotional tensions release.
People often feel more grounded during the experience, allowing them to clear up confusion 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.

About Hapé

Hapé or Hapeh is a shamanic snuff used for thousands of years for sacred and spiritual practices. Sacred plants are blended together into a fine light coloured powder. It has different effects and uses and all recipes are kept secret by the shaman.

How to Use

The setting to take Rapè is essential. Create a ceremonial space, (candle, palo santo etc), meditate to help align your mindset and set your intention. Rapè isn’t inhaled or snorted but blown through the nose forcefully with a pipe. The type of breath (length, force), also impacts on the experience. Always start with a very small amount to start your practice.

Self-Administration

Experienced users may use a kuripe, which is a personal pipe with a sharp ‘v-angle’ that allows you to blow the snuff into your nose. The Ajooni team can provide training in a ceremonial setting.

Gently pour into the palm of your hand and scoop half of the hapé into your kuripe pipe. Start your deep, calm breathing from your mouth only. With the Kuripe loaded with the Hapè, inhale a deep breath and hold it while placing the longer of the pipe comfortably into the left nostril and the shorter end between the lips. With eyes closed gently inhale the breath, blowing the hapé up the left nostril first. Exhale through the mouth and as soon as possible/on the next inhale blow up the right nostril.

After application, sit for 5 to 10 minutes, breathing through your mouth in meditation. You will feel the effects of the plant through your body. Most people experience watery eyes due to the sensitivity of the nose, and also because Rapé is a purgative for many. That said, occaisionally people experience crying, extra salivation, sneezing, vomiting, or the need to have a bowel movement. Once complete, blow your nose and remove any excess mucus though the mouth. Breathing again though the nose feels great and you can continue your meditation or end the process.

Serving Others
