Introducing Cristina Arcila

Heya I'm Cristina. My initial encounter with a Rapé ceremony, (also known as Hapé), occurred four years ago. Rapé proved to be a potent medicine, triggering a profound energetic purging experience with my first encounter.

Upon opening my eyes, the world unfolded before me in high-definition vision, each element appearing sharper and more beautiful. I felt a profound connection with the Earth, as every detail served as a reminder of unity.

It's important to note that Rapé differs from other medicines, as it doesn't induce a psychedelic effect. Instead, it fosters a heightened awareness encompassing both body and mind. When used thoughtfully with a specific intention, Rapé facilitates grounding and clarity.

Through my experiences with Rapé, I've come to recognize its role as a transitional phase support. By grounding individuals and providing clarity, it empowers better intuitive decision-making.

FAQ

What is Hapé, Rapeh, Rapé?

Rapé, also known as Hapé holds a lineage deeply revered by Amazonian and South American indigenous cultures for centuries, is a potent snuff crafted from diverse tree ashes and potent Nicotina Rustica, distinct from conventional tobacco. Revered as a ceremonial sacrament rather than a mere substance, Hapé holds profound healing, insight, guidance, and protective qualities when approached with reverence.

What is a Hapé or Rapé ceremony?

In a Hapé or Rapé ceremony, participants channel intention and mindfulness, honoring the spirit of smoke and engaging in an opening prayer before individually receiving the Hapé through a specialized blow pipe known as Tepi.

The ritual, guided by the facilitator, unfolds with the administration of the snuff through each nostril, with clear instructions provided throughout the experience.

The effects of Hapé can range from several minutes to extended durations, delivering an impactful journey that can align, balance, and ground while releasing physical, emotional, and spiritual disharmony, rekindling intuition, and fostering forgiveness and self-awareness. This sacred medicine serves as a conduit to one's higher self, facilitating the setting and manifestation of intentions.

Here in Byron Bay I offer Hapé or Rapé therapy which is not a full Hapé or Rapé ceremony, but utilises many aspects.
