What is Hapé?

Hapé is the preparation of powdered medicinal herbs administered through the nose as a snuff. Hapé quickly and intensely produces effects that make the user feel alert and elevated. Typically, mapacho (nicotina rustica sacred tobacco) which contains about twenty times the nicotine of common tobacco is used as a base for Hapé, and other plant medicines are added for various effects.

This ancient practice of consuming powdered plant medicines through the nose dated back to the pre-Colombian days and was first observed among the indigenous tribes of Brazil. To these tribes, hapé is a sacred shamanic medicine with extensive healing and other powers. Other uses include inducing visions, increasing energy, and heightening the senses with the aromatic fragrance of the plants used in the blend.

Several tribes traditionally use Hape, and they each produce their own specific Hapé blends. These tribes include but are not limited to the Shipibo, Katukina, Yawanawa, Kaxinawa, Nukini, Kuntanawa, Apurinã, Ashaninka, and Matses.

Caneleiro Hape (Rapé)

Caneleiro is often used for its grounding properties simultaneously opening the field to consciously experiencing more of the earth body energy. The powder causes the reducing of external focus and outwards manifestation to bring the attention more into the inner-self for more grounding and refreshed clear intension.

Caneleiro is a very robust tree which is also expressed in us humans through a stable perceptible grounding effect of this sacred Rapé. Strongly sharpened focus and clear directional instruction are conspicuous appearances after the use of Caneleiro.

The tree called ‘Cenostigma Macrophyllum Tul’ in botanical language is very similar to the ‘Canela de Velho’ tree, ‘Maraximbé’ or ‘Fava do Campo’. However considering all its resemblances it still reveals slight differences and should not be labeled exactly the same.  Caneleiro grows to a height of 10 to 20 metres and manifestst great beauty especially when the period of flowering perennials arrives. During that time it grows clusters of yellow flowers that attract insects and many birds with its scent.

The sacred plant often is used to make tea for joints serving as pain relief or to even go as far as treating arthritis. Indigenous tribes also use its bark to heal wounds on the skin, for diarrhoea and low sugar levels.

Caneleiro carries valuable spiritual and energetic cleansing properties as well. Its spirit connects with the element of fire. It can be responsible for regeneration of cells and balancing the hormones if called in with matching intentions.

In general the sacred medicine serves perfectly for an expanded awareness of space, a deeper now-moment presence and gathering energy into the inner space which causes a stable directional focus towards what is truly neccessary at present.

Caneleiro Rapé usually brings about a valuable experience of energetic recalibration, alignment, balance and harmony. The divine teacher that is being called through its use helps to synchronize the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies. The composition is kept in Huni Kuin tradition and is passed down through the tribes including the knowledge about its sacred properties.
