Usage and Rituals
Cacau Rapé is a sacred shamanic snuff that should be used with respect and intention. Administered with a tepi (a pipe used by another to serve Rapé) or a kuripe (a self-administered pipe), this Rapé is ideal for heart-opening rituals and ceremonies aimed at fostering love and joy. Set a clear intention, breathe in the essence of Cacau, and allow its nourishing energy to fill your heart and soul with warmth and positivity.
The Rapé is blown first through the left nostril and then the right, the life and death cycle.
- Put a small amount of Rapé on the palm of your hand.
- Connect to the medicine through the heart, and feel your intentions.
- Fill the pipe (Kuripe) through the longer tube.
- Position the Kuripe: take a deep breath through the mouth and hold.
- Place the longer end of the Kuripe into the left nostril and the other end into the mouth.
- Blow inside the Kuripe pipe with intention.
- Repeat for the right nostril.
Now close your eyes and enjoy your meditation.
Once applied, breathe only from the mouth to prevent the powder from going into the throat. After at least 10 minutes you can blow and clean your nose.
Rapé must be blown into both nostrils. Each nostril represents an energetic current of the body:
The left nostril: The channel of the Moon (receiver: Pingala or Yin). It gives the power of emotions in its pure state, providing the qualities of deep joy, pure love, compassion and artistic abilities. This side is the feminine. The imbalances on this side are emotional attachment, depression, low self-esteem, guilt or laziness.
The right side: The channel of the Sun (emitter: Ida or Yang). It would empower the rational mind, which allows learning and gaining the strength to overcome problems through effort. It is the masculine side. The imbalances of this channel are rigidity, arrogance, excessive strength and pride.”
Storage
Rapé snuff can remain potent for years when kept in a cool, dry, and dark location. To maintain its quality, ensure your rapé is tightly sealed and protected from any form of moisture. It is not recommended to store rapé in the refrigerator as condensation may form inside the container upon removal.
