PALO SANGRE

Palo Sangre, which translates to “Bloodwood” or “Blood Tree,” is a type of tree that can be found in various parts of the world, including Central and South America. The term “Palo Sangre” or similar names are often given to trees that produce red sap or have reddish wood, reminiscent of blood.

Life Force and Vitality: The red sap, reminiscent of blood, can symbolize life force, vitality, and the essence of life. Blood is often viewed as a carrier of life force in many traditions.

Healing and Medicine: Trees with unique properties, like the red sap of Palo Sangre, are often believed to have medicinal or healing properties. Indigenous peoples might use such trees in traditional medicine or healing rituals.

Sacrifice and Offering: The “bleeding” aspect of the tree can symbolize sacrifice, offering, or a connection to ancestors or deities. In some cultures, trees that “bleed” might be viewed as sacred or as intermediaries between the human and spiritual realms.

Protection: Trees with unique or powerful properties, like Palo Sangre, might be used in protective rituals or as talismans against negative energies or spirits.

Connection to the Earth: The deep red color, rooted in the ground, can symbolize a strong connection to the earth, grounding, and the cycles of life and death.

Transformation and Renewal: The act of “bleeding” and then healing can symbolize cycles of death and rebirth, transformation, and renewal.

CHONTA WOOD

Chonta wood (also known as “chonta durmi” or “black palm”) is a dense, dark wood that comes from the spines of certain palm trees, particularly from the Amazon rainforest in South America. Indigenous peoples in the region have been using chonta wood for various practical and ceremonial purposes for centuries. Due to its deep cultural and historical roots, chonta wood has accumulated various spiritual significances:

Symbol of Strength and Durability: Given its dense nature and the fact that it can be used to make weapons like blow darts, spears, and clubs, chonta wood symbolizes strength, endurance, and protection in some cultures.

Connection to Ancestors and Traditions: Indigenous tribes often utilize chonta wood in their rituals and ceremonies. For them, the wood serves as a connection to their ancestors and the traditions they’ve passed down through generations.

Healing and Medicine: Some indigenous cultures believe that chonta wood possesses healing properties. Shamans or spiritual leaders might use tools made of chonta wood in rituals meant to heal or protect.

Spiritual Growth: The journey from seed to towering palm tree can be seen as a metaphor for an individual’s spiritual journey. Thus, chonta wood, being a product of this journey, can symbolize spiritual growth and development.

Earth’s Energy: Chonta wood is believed by some to carry the energy of the earth, given its direct connection to the soil and the environment of the Amazon rainforest. Items made from chonta might be considered powerful or spiritually charged due to this perceived energy.

Balance and Stability: The palm tree from which chonta wood is derived stands tall and stable, often amid the dynamic environment of the rainforest. This stability can symbolize balance and grounding in one’s spiritual journey.

CLEAR QUARTZ

Clear Quartz, often referred to as the “Master Healer” or “Stone of Power,” is one of the most versatile and commonly used crystals in spiritual and metaphysical practices.

Amplification: Clear Quartz is renowned for its ability to amplify energy and intention. It can enhance the energy of other stones and amplify the effects of positive intentions, making it a favorite tool for manifesting desires.

Clarity and Focus: The clear, luminous quality of this stone symbolizes clarity of thought and purpose. Meditating with Clear Quartz can help in gaining clarity on issues or challenges and focusing one’s energy and thoughts on goals.

Spiritual Growth and Enlightenment: Clear Quartz is believed to open the crown chakra, the energy center associated with spiritual connection and enlightenment. It aids in connecting with higher realms and facilitates spiritual growth.

Protection: Just as it amplifies positive energies, Clear Quartz can also repel and neutralize negative energies. It’s often used as a protective stone to guard against negativity and psychic attacks.

Healing: Known as the “Master Healer,” Clear Quartz is believed to enhance and channel healing energy. It’s often used in crystal healing practices to harmonize and balance the body’s energy centers or chakras.

Programmability: One unique property of Clear Quartz is its ability to be “programmed” with specific intentions or energies. By holding the crystal and focusing on a particular intention or desire, practitioners believe that the crystal can store and amplify the energy of that intention.

Memory Enhancement: Clear Quartz is often associated with enhancing memory and intellectual capabilities. Some believe that it can help in accessing ancient knowledge and connecting with collective consciousness.

Harmonization: Clear Quartz has the ability to harmonize and align human energies, thoughts, consciousness, and emotions. It’s often used to bring balance and harmony to one’s environment and energy field.

Spiritual Communication: The stone’s high-frequency energy is believed to enhance spiritual communication, making it easier to connect with spirit guides, angels, and other higher entities.

Versatility: Due to its clear and neutral nature, Clear Quartz is versatile and can be used in various spiritual and metaphysical practices. It’s often combined with other stones to enhance their properties.

Clear Quartz’s adaptability and broad range of uses make it a staple in many spiritual practices, from meditation and energy work to divination and ritual. Whether worn as jewelry, used in crystal grids, or simply kept in one’s environment, Clear Quartz is believed to bring a myriad of spiritual benefits.

HOW TO USE KURIPE SELF APPLICATOR ?

This is a shamanic detailed guide to self-administering rapé, the sacred medicine of the amazon:

Step 1: Find a quiet place to practice your rapé. This medicine is usually used in a ritualistic way, since it has the power to connect your body, mind and soul with the nature, thus allowing you to receive its healing and blessings gifts.

Step 2: Anchor yourself to the present moment and focus your intention for making a prayer. What are you hoping to receive from this medicine? What do you want to ask to the spirit of the nature?

Step 3: Take your kuripe self applicator and place it close to your third eye, and then take it close to your heart. Aim the short-end of the pipe at the left side of your body, over your shoulder, and blow in that direction to honor the feminine. Repeat on the right side to honor the masculine. Point your pipe up to honor the sky, the sun, the moon & the stars. Subsequently, point your pipe down to the pachamama, and honor her for sustaining you in every way you need throughout your life. Think deeply of your life journey and the path you have chosen and honor your ancestors, as well as each of your relations. Now, take the kuripe self applicator and place it in the center of your heart to honor all of the elements converging within you.

Step 4: Take your kuripe self applicator and start placing it clockwise in each of your chakras to open your energy field. Here, you can invoke your power animals, or the serpent, jaguar, hummingbird & condor.

Step 5: Leave aside your kuripe self applicator and open your rapé container. Speak out loud your ritual prayer or chant while measuring out on the palm of your left hand (receiving hand) the amount you would like to use.

Step 6: Load up the medicine measured in your palm in the long-end of your kuripe self applicator (nose end). Tap the bottom part of your kuripe self applicator with your fingers on your hand a few times to make sure all the medicine goes inside the kuripe self applicator and to release any air bubbles.

Step 7: Breathing work allows to better receiving the medicine so focus on your breath. Take some nice deep breaths, you can do it inhaling for 5s, holding for 5s, exhaling for 5s, and so on during 1-3 minutes. Then spray some mint-based tonic to cleanse, purify and open the space, as well as to activate your breathing channels. Now that you are ready, take a half-way deep inhale and place the short-end (mouth end) of the kuripe self applicator in your mouth and fit tightly the long-end (nose end) snugly into your nostril. Remember, rapé is only administer one nostril at a time.

Step 8: Straighten, relax, and lean forward a little your posture, close your eyes and blow out deep, fast and sharp the rapé into your nostril. This kind of blowing sounds like you are shooting an arrow fastly or creating an “fff” sound when finishing the blowing. Following, to clear any remaining negative energy around your field, snap your fingers around your head crown and around your aura.

Step 9: Take a moment to allow your whole being experience this first rapé sniff and whenever you feel ready again, repeat steps 5 to 9 to use the medicine in the other nostril the same way.

Step 10: Whenever you feel that the intensity of the sacred plant has lessened, blow your nose or spit the remaining and clean yourself up. Anchor yourself to the present moment and bring every piece of yourself to this experience. Focus and allow you to connect to the nature, the healing plants, and the spirits in the medicine you just took. Place your hands on the pachamama and feel her energy beneath you.

Please, take into account that as you continue self-administering your rapé, you are not only opening your heart for a subtly learning from the medicinal plants but you are also entering into a dialogue with the plant spirits.
