Beginner’s Guide to Rapé for Meditation and Spiritual Practices

Rapé is a sacred shamanic snuff, traditionally used by indigenous tribes in the Amazon for ceremonial purposes. This guide introduces you to Rapé, explaining its cultural significance and how you can incorporate it into your meditation practices for spiritual growth and mental clarity.

What is Rapé?
Rapé (pronounced ha-PAY) is a traditional snuff made from a blend of powdered medicinal plants, typically including Nicotiana rustica (a potent tobacco variety). Indigenous Amazonian tribes have used Rapé for thousands of years to connect with their ancestors, spirits, and nature. The tribes believe that it can help cleanse the mind, bring focus, and open the spiritual pathways.

How to Use Rapé for Meditation
Using Rapé during meditation can help deepen your practice, bringing mental clarity, inner peace, and grounding. It is typically administered using a pipe called a “Tepi” (when applied by another person) or “Kuripe” (when self-administered). After receiving the Rapé, it is common to sit quietly, focusing on your breathing and observing any sensations or thoughts that arise.
