Samauma Rapé: the Tree of Spirit, the Wind of Light

Its presence is majestic, its energy subtle and high. Samauma rapé is a shamanic blend of the ash of this tree’s bark and pure Amazonian tobacco, mapacho, traditionally used to open the upper energy centers, connect with spirit guides and expand consciousness.

This blend does not ground heavily into the body like earthier rapés. Its effect is like a wind through the soul: light and gentle, yet it reaches far. It is for moments when you need peace, silence and clarity, for meditation, for listening to your inner voice, for contemplating deeper meaning.

• Activates and cleanses the crown
• Calms the mind and supports meditation
• Helps with dreamwork, intuition and spiritual messages
• Carries a soft, feminine energy: nurturing, protective, guiding

This rapé is made by the hands of those who honor the spirit of the plant and its light. It arrives in purity, blessed and ready for your practice.

The tree itself gives much: light, porous wood for carving and dugout canoes, silky seed fibers for bedding and life preservers, oil for soap. Read more about what rapé is.
