Rapé VASHAWÁ

Rapé Vashawá, also known as Bashawa (Jatropha multifida), is an exceptional and powerful blend prepared by the Kuntanawa tribe of the Amazon rainforest. This shamanic rapé holds immense power for awakening and liberating the "layers of the old self," paving the way for deep introspection and personal growth.

It is often used in the ceremonies of healers and shamans, especially during Ayahuasca medicine ceremonies, where it supports deep work with consciousness.

Effects of Rapé Vashawá on the Mind and Spirit

Rapé Vashawá penetrates the center of the senses with force, immediately quieting any mental activity. It opens the sinuses as the energy vibrates through the body, leaving a clear mind and a pleasant buzzing sensation. It brings very soothing effects with a gentle pressure.

It is excellent for gaining focus and strength, as the mind instantly clears, leaving a calm and balanced state. It helps us focus on the present moment and observe with greater detail and attention who we are and what we are doing with our lives. In this process, we understand how to be more ourselves and how to let go of the judgment of our lower self.

TIP: Rapé Vashawá is great for working with self-esteem or depression, as it promotes deep introspection and liberation.

The Symbol of the Snake: Guardian of Secrets and Spiritual Guide

In the Katukina language, Vashawá means "snake," which is their most sacred animal. The snake is seen as the guardian of the secrets and magic of Ayahuasca.

The sacred snake comes when we take the medicine and guides us to higher astral planes to make contact with our inner and higher Self. This allows us to receive guidance and support from these great spirits that we encounter in the medicine process. The snake is a spiritual guide with an innate knowledge of survival, growth, and protection.

This medicine is excellent for healing self-esteem and depression, as it helps us focus on the present moment and observe with greater detail and attention who we are and what we are doing with our lives. In this process, we understand how to be more ourselves and how to let go of the judgment of our lower self. This is why this medicine is good for liberation and awakening.
