17:45 a recommendation as for what to listen - I Put chants from the Huni Kuin tribe ( google Ninawa Pai da Mata on youtube ), sacred chants they use in Aya and Hape ceremonies. In respect from where the medicine came from and hows meant to be used. The chants really takes you places

15 minutes. Some times I have to meditate 30 min to feel ready to get up and function. Delicious can be a good description some days. Opening to insights and gratitude definitely. My daughter introduced me to the ritual. I am so grateful for it.

I appreciate this insight into hapé. I've been very curious about if there are any scientific studies about hapé. This really was a very well synergistic blend of science and spirituality! Thank you! Blessings from SLC!

Thank you for the deep dive into hapé! I’m excited to get my kit tomorrow and start exploring potential uses for my style of psychedelic therapy that focuses on chronic pain and the related mental health and spiritual challenges.

Fantastic discussion! I’ll have to find you guys on Spotify!

I just had my second session, and wowwwwww. Was wayyyyy more intense than my first. I’m still unable to get up fully. I had such intense tingling throughout my body for about 30 min. Perhaps too much? He used a hape a little stronger than last time. So that was a 2 hour experience which I now see is not super normal but I feel I had a LOT to clear. Thanks for sharing more Information

Can you get real hape in America? If you where can I get it?

[@LaBella640]

Four Visions offer good hape. You can check on their website.

I got mine from Queen of the Forest

@@trystanplatt3633I assume the hape spirit is probably okay with me using it recreationally although people were speaking against it because it feels nice to just chill and blast some tobacco up my nose. 😂
