The Katukina Samauma rapé blend from the Brazilian Indians of the Katukina tribe was sent to us by our friend Rafa. It is very special, after all, like all the rapés from our offer 🙂

Samauma rapé is only used by Amazonian Brazilian tribes. It is a very old recipe, containing the ash from the largest tree of the Amazon, which is called Samauma, or Kapok, botanically (Ceiba pentandra) from the mallows family (Malvaceae).

Samauma rapé gives us an intense feeling of grounding and alignment with our Higher Self, teaches us a deeper connection with the Great Mother (Pachamama / Mother Earth), respect for ourselves and the people in our lives.

Samauma rapé teaches conscious living with respect through contact with the spirit of this tree. It is one of the greatest guardians and protectors of the jungle. The natives make Samauma ashes  only from fallen tree branches, as the Samauma tree is the oldest guardian of the jungle and therefore the most revered of all. This tree lives up to 500 years.

Katukina Indian tribe

The Katukina tribe is an indigenous group that inhabits the southwestern Brazilian state of Acre. They are the traditional bearers of rapé knowledge in the Brazilian Amazon. The people of Katukina are called “People from the sky, people from the sun and people from the otter”. When the people of Katukina share their rapé, there is an opportunity to communicate with a higher level. They believe that heavenly spirits descend behind them to oversee the songs, dances and realities of the earthly world.

The conscious use – ritual

Rapé is a sacred amazonian tool. The native tribes are passing it to us with a following message: “The use of rapé should always be connected with a prayer or the ritual. It should be given or received with respect and humility. It helps greatly to come up with a clear intention.  The effects and the realization of the intention tends to get stronger. It is important to keep the purity of the space and heart.”
