We invite you to get to know these three unique hapés over a period of a few weeks or months. Over time, you will have a unique relationship with each hapé blend and be able to distinguish when to work with each one. Follow these guidelines below to guide your spiritual practice utilizing hapé.
Set & Setting: Create ceremonial space to commune with this medicine.Take time in meditation beforehand to set your intention. Apply the white copal oil to center, ground, and align your energy before working with the hapé.
Application: Hapé can be self-administered using a V-shaped self-applicator pipe, known as a ‘Kuripe’ pipe which connects the mouth to the nostrils. It can also be administered by another person using a large blow pipe, called a ‘Tepi’, which connects the blower’s mouth to the other person’s nostrils.
Use: Start with a dime sized amount to begin your practice. Pour the medicine into your palm, say a prayer and align with the spirit of the hapé . Next, scoop half of the hapé into the nose end of the pipe and gently tap it with a finger to settle the powder into the kuripe’s v-shaped elbow. With the Kuripe loaded, inhale a deep breath and hold it while placing the correct ends of the pipe comfort-ably into the left nostril and between lips. With eyes closed gently exhale the breath, blowing the hapé up the left nostril first, and then the right.
After you have applied, sit for 5-10 minutes in meditation, feeling the effects. Always work with this plant ally in a ceremonial setting, in reverence and prayer. Hapé should never be consumed habitually or socially.
Dosage can be increased after prolonged use once one becomes more accustom to working with this medicine and has built a relationship with the plant and hapé as a spiritual tool.
