Rapé, Ancestrina and I
I have been curious about natural and ancestral medicines since I was 17 years old. It has been a personal search for those tools that communities more connected with nature, use as channels of harmonization with it and with their own inner nature. I have always had the conviction that everything we need to be healthy in body, mind and spirit comes from the land; What happens is that we have been believing for too long that the solution to our problems are far from us.
( How rapé intervenes in my daily life )
My relationship with Rapé came gradually, it was not love at first sight, although it has been for many others. I knew it through ceremonies, but I began to really understand it when one day, in Mexico, they applied a Rapé called Pariká to me and I felt a very special connection with its energy.
It was a wonderful experience that took me to truly deep places of my being. From that moment on, I began a detailed research journey on the different types of Rapé, their effects and their benefits, at the same time I was entering an intense process of self-knowledge. It has been so nice to walk these paths by the hand of Rapé, and I have found so many answers that I am ready to share them with many people. At first it was with my close ones, then with my friends, then with friends of friends and finally, through this channel called Ancestrina, I am able to share it with all of those who feel the call to connect with the biological and energetic properties of this ancestral medicine . I continue to practice and explore with various sacred and medicinal plants; however, today I can say that rapé is my medicine, because unlike the others, it is a medicine that allows you total freedom and independence, since its teachings can be integrated in solitude, without the help of guides or companions, and without risks. If rapé is used with love and respect, if you allow it, it will become a loving teacher who will teach you truths that have always been within you; answers that you may not have been able to see when busy or distracted with “the things of life”.
Ancestrina
A few months ago Ancestrina was born with the purpose of bringing to this, our reality, the benefits of Rapé. So far we have connected with a lot of people who have been reaching out to ask us what it is we are offering. What is rapé about? you use it through the nose? Is it a hallucinogenic drug? Where do they bring it from? what types do they have? how do their effects vary? We know that many people know about this ancestral medicine and many more who have never heard of it. That is why when we created this platform we did it thinking about all those questions that may arise and we dedicated ourselves to nurturing it with various answers. Likewise, we opened a page on Facebook and Instagram where we are always sharing knowledge related to rapé and the things that inspire us. If you want to ask us questions or tell us your experiences with medicine, welcome; we are here to guide and accompany you. It makes me very happy to know that what I have learned thanks to Grandpa Tobacco can reach many more.
