Whether you are choosing to administer rapé for yourself using a kuripe, or with others - using a tepi, I hope this guide has provided you with thorough step-by-step instructions on how to consume this sacred medicine and receive optimal results. Mindfulness of the source of your medicine, how it’s being administered, dosage, intention setting, and the space in which you use it are all important components for a sustainable, non-addictive relationship to rapé. Context is everything when it comes to using rapé in a sacred, safe, and supportive container. I invite you to be conscious of the attitude you have towards the ceremony itself, as that attitude or intention will greatly affect the outcome of your experience. I welcome you to take to heart the importance of setting a proper environment with clear intention, and use this book as a reference guide whenever you are feeling disconnected. A calm, tranquil, and meditative environment with an air of sacredness, introspection, and respect towards the process of healing and the medicine itself will all greatly enhance and support your experience. Each individual’s intention will be unique; the most important thing is to not treat the consumption of rapé as a social ritual or party drug. It is a sacred medicine to be used with prayerful intent. An attitude of openness, curiosity and courage is also necessary in order to make the most out of your rapé experience. Be extra-careful when choosing the people with whom you will experience this ceremony. It is very important to do this with people you trust and respect, not with less reputable or suspicious individuals – this includes the shaman, should you choose to work with one. Make sure to trust your gut feeling on this one – it is better to postpone or do a ceremony on your own rather than do it in an improper environment or with the inappropriate types of people. At this exciting juncture in human consciousness and evolution, we can have the opportunity to receive the awakening and transformative power of ancient plant medicines and practices. Sacred medicines are gaining more and more popularity amongst modern shamans and spiritual seekers looking to heal, cleanse, transform, and connect to other realms. With great power comes great responsibility. It is our intention that this guide has helped empower you with the ancient wisdom of how to make use of the powerful medicinal properties of rapé in a responsible, sacred, and ceremonial way.
