RAPEH CEREMONY & MEDITATION : plant medicine snuff

Pre-booking only. Please register via Schoolofprana.org This session in 20 EUR.

ABOUT

We will offer a short introduction and a gentle Rapeh blow, followed by a moment of meditation. There will be an optional second application of a different Rapeh, which may be a little stronger. The will be time for resting and sharing. Rapeh is not psychedelic. Yet, one might experience an increased sense of calm, stillness, and introspection.

This is a beginner-friendly session.

WHAT IS RAPEH AND WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS

Also know as Hape, Rapeh is a sacred, non-psychedelic plant medicine. It is a mix of tobacco powder and ashes from different medicinal plants. Rapeh is blowing it through the nostrils. The main sensations are of warmth and a sense of mental calm and emotional grounding.

Rapeh is traditionally used to get rid of the “Nisu” from the body. A Nisu is a "cold wind" like fear, confusion, or a block in the functioning of the systems in the body. In Yogic terms, Rapeh helps clear the energy channels for a better flow of life force or Prana.

In more contemporary settings, Rapeh is used to center before or after Ayahuasca ceremonies. It is also considered a way of decalcifying the pineal gland. Also, Rapeh is a helpful way of grounding before practices like Meditation.

WHAT TO BRING & HOW TO PREP

Bring bottled water. Tissues, yoga mats, and blankets will be provided. Please be sober and avoid alcohol or recreational drugs on this day.
