What is Hapé?

Hapé is a legal sacred shamanic medicine that has been used by healers of the Amazon basin for thousands of years. It is pronounced ‘ha-peh’ in English. Hapé is made in a very sacred and labour intensive process.  Hapè is a complex blend of pulverized Amazonian medicinal plants, trees, leaves, seeds, and other sacred ingredients. 

Hapé immediately focuses the mind, stops the egoic chattering, and opens the third eye and your capacity to get in touch with your intentions. Furthermore,  Hapè helps releasing emotional, physical, and spiritual illnesses and eases negativity and confusion, enabling a thorough grounding of your mind. Likewise, Hapé is used to re-align the user with their energy channels and with their higher self, and to intensify their connection with the world and the universe. In addition, Hapé paves the way for detoxifying the body and cleans out all excess mucus, toxins, and bacteria, thereby, assisting in fighting colds, sniffles and certain kinds can even help with the flu.

Application:

Traditionally, Hapé is applied by using a pipe made from bamboo, which is blow through each nostril on both sides.  It can be self-administered using a Kuripe pipe which connects the mouth to the nostrils.  It can also be administered by another person using a blow pipe called a Tepi.

Receiving Hapé from a Tepi involves an energetic connection between the giver and receiver. Both are closely connected by mouth, nose and by breath, and both need to open and allow the other spirit and intention to enter, permitting the healing to take place. Experiencing the medicine this way is infinitely more powerful, intimate and strong.

Application:

• Choose the right blend of  Hapè you wish to work with. We have a wide selection in store with a multitude of effects, intensions and uses. 

• Smudge the space and do any energetical work needed. Blow the nose and centre yourself. 

• Set aside a time to sit and work with the medicine. Sit and connect with your intension for using  Hapè or bring to mind any emotional phycological or physical ailment you wish to contemplate. 

• For beginners start small with a pea sized amount in each nostril.  Dosages can be increased with time as the user becomes more accustom to working Hapé.

• You always put the shorter end of either pipe in your mouth to blow, and the longer end goes inside the nostril.

• You always blow into the left nostril first to represent a metaphorical death, and then into the right nostril to represent rebirth.

• After blowing, it is recommended to sit with the medicine and meditate for about a half hour or so.  It is best to remain with the eyes closed, palms up while inhaling and exhaling slowly (more effective through the nose), enabling a thorough grounding and maintenance of focus. s. 

According to the Brazilian Yawanawa Tribe, there are three different ways to blow  Hapè:

• -Short and strong: to wake up and get present
• -Long and strong: to clean the mind and spirit
• -Long, starting soft, and strong at the end: for meditation, entering into a trance, ceremonial use

We generally recommend working with  Hapè once per day, and usually not exceeding more then 2 times.

For some people several times a week is fine, or only during Ayahuasca or other medicine ceremonies.  

For others, they may need to work intensively with these medicines to do some 

If you have a lot of phlegm or mucous in the back of your throat, dripping down your throat, or in your mouth, then please spit it out in a bucket immediately, as it’s toxic or negative energy that is being released and expelled. You do not want to swallow it back inside.  In order to prevent the Hapè from dripping into your throat, you will want to keep your head down so it will drip down through your nose and not in your throat.

You should try to keep the  Hapè in your nostrils for as long as comfortably possible so the medicine can be absorbed through the bloodstream.  It is best to breathe in through the nose if possible for this.  Then, you can blow your nose with tissue as many times as it’s necessary for you.
