USE

Using your tepi, place a pea size amount of rapé in the palm of your hand, and use the tepi to scoop it into the nostril side of the tepi. 

Ensure that your hands or legs are not crossed, so the energy can flow freely.

When you are ready, Inhale and exhale slowly twice and hold your breath. 

Think of your intention while eyes closed, touch the tepi to your forehead, heart chakra, left shoulder then right. 

Place the tepi in the LEFT nostril, representing Death and blow sharply or semi slowly as per your preference. 

If you must breathe, breathe slowly through your mouth so as to not get the powder down your throat.

Fix your posture.  Give gratitude as it will be a sharp pain in your head.  Visualize the powder traveling to your pineal while constantly giving gratitude. 

Repeat on your right nostril, which represents life.

Give gratitude to Rapé for the medicine.

You can increase the amounts as your grow accustomed, however, beginners should only have a pea size.

Because Rapé is a purger, you may get nauseated or vomit, which is fine and safe.

You may also have a softer bowel movement the next day.

Remember, this is a plant medicine and is meant to be respected.  It has its own consciousness, which is why we must give gratitude.

Many blessings on your journey,
