Directions

• Administer your rapé using a kuripe (a sacred pipe used to self administer medicinal rapé & herbal snuffs)
• Place a pea sized amount of rapé on your left palm 
• Scoop half of the rapé into the long end of your kuripe
• Take several deep breaths and set your intention(s)
• Place the short end of the kuripe in your mouth and the long end in your left nostril and blow the rapé up your left nostril
• You will always administer the left nostril first and the right nostril second as the left symbolises the past (that which you are letting go of) while the right nostril represents the future (that which you are calling in)
• It is always beneficial to use the sacred pause between the two applications to contemplate that which you are letting go of / calling in
• When ready, scoop the remaining rapé on your left palm into the long end of the kuripe and blow into your right nostril

The Tribe

The Puyanawa is an indigenous group that inhabits the extreme west of the Brazilian state of Acre. They suffered greatly from the exploitation of rubber in the late 19th and early 20th century. Their culture became nearly extinct, while they were forced to work as slaves in the rubber plantations they were catechised and forced to attend schools. Like many of the tribes in the region, they have since started a movement to regain their cultural identity. Recently they organised the first indigenous convention about Ayahuasca bringing together many tribes from the region to discuss their position on the spreading of the use of their ancestral medicines. This has become a yearly meeting that has been growing steadily. They make beautiful Rapé which we represent here.
