Rapéh – Each plant in the Amazon has its own healing spirit aligned with our chakras.
Many traditions have long recognized the complex system of subtle energy centers of the human body called Chakras, which in Sanskrit means “wheel” or “circle”. While the concept does not come from the Amazonian tribes directly, the wisdom of Mother Earth has imbued in her plants the secrets of cultivating and opening the chakra system through medicinal plants to explore the benefits for physical, emotional and mental health, including balancing the chakras, removing blockages, harnessing positive energy, and much more.
From the theory of subtle anatomy, there are two energetic channels that are nourished by the air we inhale and that regulate all the body’s activities: ida and pingala, the ritual of the rapeh represents these two channels to achieve harmony, it means that your energy flows without stagnation and therefore life itself.
The tribes perfectly mix the plants to enhance the benefit in each energy center.
Example. The Rapé jurema made of the Sacred plant with the same name, is ideal after Ayahuasca ceremonies since it acts in your throat chakra and thus be able to communicate in words an experience that is almost idescriptible.
