Types of Blow
The way to apply it is blowing it through both nostrils (How to use rapé ) using a projector that is a wooden tube (Tepi ) in which on one side you place your nose (rapé and nostrils ) and on the other hand the facilitator blows you. The way you blow yourself is important, do it with love, to bring peace to your mind and body. Do not do it to silence the voice of your mind violently, but with openness, disposition and trust that medicine will do its job.
Also there are also self-applicators (kuripes) to apply it to yourself. Rapé is not snorted because it does not travel the same way in the brain, nor does it decalcify the pineal gland in that way. Therefore, it is essential to have applicatorsand the right disposition, time and place for it.
The regular way is for the rapé to go down to the mouth, the idea is not to swallow it, since it can be heavy to the stomach. The rapé will run a little down your nose, don’t blow your nose, wipe it gently with a handkerchief, and wait for the medicine to do its job.
Passing (blowing) rapé requires an inner attitude of prayer and surrender. The person is not always energetically prepared to share rapé to another individual, and it is our responsibility not to accept rapé from just anyone, or to give rapé if we are not in tune.
Rapé is a sacred medicine and as such it carries the intentions and prayers of whoever prepares it and who shares it. All the processes of a shamanic ceremony , from lighting a fire, a tobacco, playing an instrument, serving food or passing rapé, all these acts must be accompanied by a deep connection with the sacred.
Always remember that rapé medicine is not recreational It is a serious medicine that requires devotion and respect. Whoever shares another must be prepared since there is anenergy exchange and you have to know how to channel energy, and also to be aware that we are giving to who receives with our intention. So this sacred medicine will work more efficiently, tuning body, mind and spirit.
When someone blows rapé they share their energy, which is why we recommend being in an empty attitude to be able to receive all the discharge from the other person.
