Why is this?

Due to certain active ingredients that help release ‘feel good’ emotions, rapeh is considered a heart opener. Creating feelings of emotional intimacy and cleansing, 

The Medicine is used to cleanse, to go to the root of the problem.  It can be also used as a purgative to cleanse stuck energies

South-American shamans use tobacco as a sacred, wholesome medicine and there exists a very close connection between tobacco use & Shamanism that has little in common with the western way of tobacco use. It is a very powerful and sacred medicine used for centuries.

A rapeh ceremony is an opportunity to connect to yourself and open your heart. Because of rapeh´s  ability to increase your connection to your inner self and your heart, crown chakra,  it aids in any transformational shift you are working towards, whether you are looking to deepen your understanding of who you are, release old patterns and traumas, or move into a more self-confident space. Whatever your path, the intention is yours to set, and the rapeh  allows you to the insight and awareness to move towards that goal.
In a sacred and intimate space, the people that attend always surprise themselves at how they are able to open up to strangers, especially when they start to realize they we are all a mirror for each other, all just human beings with the same fears and sufferings, the same hopes and dreams. The dance help to connect with the body, during which the ceremony activates within the body and the heart, allowing a truly transformative and ecstatic process to unfold.

Indigenous tribes use tobacco in ceremonies, to predict good weather, fishing, or harvest, and for spiritual (e.g. vision quest, trance etc) and curing purposes, but rarely for smoking. The use of tobacco by indigenous tribes in South America, such as the Muiscas in Colombia, Kaxinawá, Nunu, Yawanawá, and Katukina, is profoundly entrenched in their culture, and has been employed at least since the Old civilizations for rituals, medicinal purposes. There is another post on the benefits of the other Rapé medicines from these other tribes. 

Due to the euphoria inducing ingredients, the emotional impact can be profound. Everything feels heightened within the physical and emotional body, including your awareness to your deepest sense of self and to your heart. The experience of love and empathy, particularly for yourself, can literally feel as if your heart is opening like a flower. With this, the body can become flooded with the many emotions stored in the heart, some of which can be painful. It is not always an easy experience, and I have seen many tears shed as people peel away old layers of hurt. But as the medicine facilitates a deep sense of self-love, tears are always followed by smiles of deep gratitude. In other moments, the sheer ecstasy felt from themedicine can be described as nothing other than a divine experience.
