Begin by asking yourself:

Why am I working with hapé medicine right now?

What am I truly seeking from this sacred tool?

- Grounding
- Clearing / Energetic Reset
- Focus
- Emotional Balance
- Trauma Release
- Connection to Source
- Daily Spiritual Alignment

Your intention creates the energetic container. Some blends are calming and soothing, others more
activating.

Feel into their energetic signature - do you need something mild, medium, or robust?

Where does this blend come from?

Who is offering it - and can they answer your questions clearly?

Sadly, the rising popularity of hapé has led to corrupted sourcing. Many groups now enter the field
without ancestral connection or proper training.

Large distributors may claim 'direct tribal sourcing'
but often produce blends in factory-like setups without prayer or sacred intent.

Please remember: there are no hapé factories among the tribes in the Amazon.

Ask:
- What tribe, region, or lineage made this hapé?
- How was it prepared?
- Wooden or stone mortar and pestle? These are traditional and safe.
- Metal grinders? Avoid these - they can leave toxic residues.

If the answer is unclear - do not buy it.
Choose based on spirit and source, not trend.

True discernment isn't always logical - it's intuitive.

When you read about a blend or hold it in your hands:

- Do you feel warmth or contraction?
- Does your body lean in or away?
- Does it feel sacred, or off?

Your body and spirit know. Trust them.

Avoid 'limited edition' gimmicks or flashy branding. This medicine works through your third eye - your
most sacred, sensitive center. Would you trust just anyone with that?

Ask:
- Is this person rooted in a healing path?
- Do they carry true lineage or sacred connection?

Trendy names like 'bullet hapé' or unclear mixes often lack integrity. Trust your instincts. Feel the
auric energy behind the offering

You don't need to try everything. Begin with one or two blends. Build a relationship with each.

Work
in reverence. Let the medicine guide you - it will.

Remember
Discernment is a sacred form of respect.

It protects you.

It protects the plants.

And it honors the ancestors who have carried this earth medicine for generations.
