About Sananga Plant Medicine:
Sananga, or Bechette, is a traditional Amazonian eye medicine. It’s been used by the indigenous peoples of Peru & Brazil for thousands of years. On an energetic level, it's known to help with fear, anger, depression, & psychosomatic conditions. On a physical level, it cleanses and refreshes the eyes & has been indicated in the treatment of glaucoma, cataracts, astigmatism, conjunctivitis, dry & red eyes, photophobia, keratoconus, eye infections, sinusitis, & chronic headaches. It can also be a great ally in the treatment of chronic pain.
When Sananga is applied to the eye, it can sting/burn for anywhere from 1-2min to 5-20min, depending on the strength of the drops & the person receiving.
Afterwards most people feel the eyes are cleansed & refreshed, along with feelings of calm, peace, & grounding.
Contraindications include if you're currently wearing contacts (they can be removed), or if you received lasik eye surgery within the past 8 weeks.
About Hapé Plant Medicine:
Hapé medicine is a sacred plant medicine that is a mix of tobacco & other plants/herbs/flowers/barks, & has been utilized by tribes of the Amazon for millennia. It has a very grounding quality, & an ability to connect you to your spirit/higher self, & connects to PachaMama (Mother Earth), & to God/Creator/Great Spirit. It is a non-psychoactive plant medicine that purifies & cleanses the mind, sinuses, & membranes of the head, 3rd eye, while also releasing Panema (dark energy). It also has the ability to silence the mind & ego (excellent for racing thoughts), bringing you into a celestial stillness & silence. This drops the mind into a grounding meditation while opening up the Heart, 3rd eye, & Crown Chakras, & also helps to facilitate the release of old, repressed emotions that your body is ready to release. This entire process can bring compassion & love to your heart as well as bring strength, clarity, peace, & purification to the mind, & deep connection & protection to the spirit.
The structure of the agenda is strategically put together to prepare the body & mind for the meditation, giving you the opportunity to cultivate a loving relationship with the hapé.
How to Prepare:
- Avoid eating at least 1 hour prior to event (the tobacco present in the hapé can often give feelings of nausea. This is lessened on a empty stomach)
- Come with an intention or prayer for the hapé meditation, & something you feel ready to release with this Full Moon
- If planning on participating in the Sananga eye drops, please avoid wearing contact lenses
- If you like, feel free to bring a personal item to add the to community altar
