Many physical symptoms and diseases that we encounter are linked to our mental and emotional state, which in turn is linked to our spiritual state. In its most basic form of understanding, our spiritual state is that of being and feeling calm, at peace and without needs or wants or confusion. When this is out of balance, then the mind and emotions become imbalanced and the physical body tries to show us by creating physical conditions, from rashes to diseases to cancers, and so we must give importance to this method of looking at ourselves.

As new modern conditions arise, so does a new generation of synthetic chemical drugs which are simply covering the symptoms and not providing a cure. Modern health professionals do not have the time or the training to be able to spend hours with one patient at a time to really dig deep to find the root causes of the imbalances from a mental, emotional and spiritual aspect. It is also not in the interests of pharmaceutical companies to provide cures, nor is it possible for them to do so as long term profits cant be gained from permanently curing someone.

The earth is full of plants that contain healing properties that can help us to heal from disease or injury and enhance the release of chemicals in our bodies. They work by changing the vibration of our body and through that vibration allowing us to realise, to release, to heal.
Many plants, such as cacao (think chocolate), contain both nutrients and specific mineral substances that’s can effect change in our mood, boost our alertness, physically heal us and give us long sustained energy throughout the day and more.

It’s time to remember our past, many plants have been woven into early healing practices, cultural and religious practices and also into daily routines to bring necessary bursts of peace, joy and healing. Plants are alive and have their own consciousness, their own vibration, they are here to help us to heal, to help us to find our way back to living in symbiosis with our natural authentic lifestyle and in symbiosis with the planet as they do.

She is perceived as a communicating energy who guides, teaches, and heals. She also acts as a mediator and translator between the human and plant worlds and teaches us how to communicate with plants and use them for various purposes.

The Grandmother is without a doubt one of the most magical, life transforming, humbling medicines you will experience because she (The Spirit) has a way of knowing you, she has a way of showing you, she has a way of letting you look the mirror, and as daunting as that can sound, she does it in a loving, honest and truthful way.

The Grandmother Tea is a medicine that once consumed will help you to raise your vibration and in turn, you will have access to healing on multidimensional levels… and she has a voice… and she will help you to find YOU in your life.

Within tribal use, it has always been revered, for its healing and protection qualities, and to ward off evil spirits or negative energy. It has and still is greatly respected for its strength in conveying intentions, messages, and prayers to consciousness within its smoke. We must remember that within tribes, agreements and contracts were signed not by signing a piece of paper, but by joining in a ceremony and passing a tobacco pipe and smoking from it, for this would be an agreement or contract that was bound by the smoke of tobacco and in the eyes of the creator.

This is considered a very sacred medicine. It was traditionally prepared by a shaman who would have different blends of Hapé depending on the reason for its use. Some dieta plants can also be mixed with it such as Chri Sanango, which can give you a tickling effect as the qualities of Chiri Sanango are that it works on the nervous system. Mint can also be blended with the tobacco to produce a Hapé that helps with inflammation and relieve congestion.

It is very popular still within shamanic tribes of South America, however it is now coming out of just being used in shamanic ceremonies and people from all over the world are experiencing and producing Hapé with different blended plants.

It is important to remember though, Hapé is a medicine, it is a strong medicine that uses one of the Amazon’s most revered plants, tobacco and so before using this medicine an intention and prayer should be made, permission sought and gratitude is given from the spirit of tobacco, mother nature and especially the plants contained within the Hapé.

It will help to release negative energies within or around you, it will open your energy centres (Chakra’s), it will allow you to feel a circle of energy around you too. It can have a very emotionally calming and relaxing effect and you may want to lie down after receiving Hapé.
It is also common nowadays to take part in Hapé ceremonies where, with the releasing, cleansing, and reflection forces of Hapé can lead to many revelations and evolutions for your body and soul.

It also works on an emotional level where participants often are aware of certain emotional negativity they are in that moment facing, therefore, it can be quite an emotionally freeing process and you can expect to laugh or even cry through a Kambo session.
As we tend to store emotion in our stomach area and this also being where the toxins will accumulate before being purged, many participants feel that a significant weight is being lifted out from their stomachs, from their being and their lives.

By becoming conscious about our breathing, we are bringing it back from a state of uncontrollable subconscious reality into consciously being aware of the sate we can induce, which in turn can help us to change the way we feel, react and be, in any situation.
But before we can do that… we need to learn the power of our own breath, and to do that, we have to allow it to take us on a journey, a journey of all your emotions, from sadness to happiness, from fear to joy, to allow it to express all the emotions that it can induce within us.

We need to get in touch with our breathe again and make friends with it, to give it gratitude for giving us the chance to express, for giving us the chance to live through it, so we can become aware in every moment of our lives, where we choose the right reaction and therefore the right emotion for any circumstance. We support you to create intentions for your session, we create a safe space for you to explore those intentions and support you through a new way forward.
