Using Rapé as a ritual before smoking DMT

[abrelosojos]

Rapé (snuff) is an acquired taste. The first time i went to a Bufo ceremony, the shaman insisted a lot on doing rapé before, i didn´t like the idea and politely said no a few times.

Then i opened up and tried it. It was after a while that i started appreciating it as a tool to clear the mind and center yourself.

Now, i do rapé as part of my ritual before doing NN´DMT. It helps a lot to calm pre flight anxiety. And have no expectations before taking off. I just wake up aat sunrise. Set a rug or mat and a shipibo textile over it. Breathe a few mins. Start with Rapé, meditate 5 mins, and then i take off.

Did 45 mg Sunday Morning off my DVT 4 vape. And i have felt great all week. Love how DMT allows me to wane my alcohol & thc habits.

What is your ritual?

Sound like you found a good way for your set and setting. I've only tried Rapé once and I don't know what the ingredients were, I've understood that they can vary quite much. Anyhow, I liked it. It felt like 'sobering up' a bit (I had smoke some weed earlier) and gave me focus and centering. Just like you write.
I'm not sure how I would like in in my ritual with DMT, but perhaps. If it comes my way again we'll see.

My ritual looks quite the same each time now. I only do it after darkness and begin with taking my syrian rue extract. While that starts working I tidy up my place a bit. Turn off the phone and most lights, just leave some dark green or red lights on. Light some incense or burn some resin. Roll out a mattress and pile up some pillows so I can half lay down.
Arrange a small box for the pipe, herbs (DMT infused), a candle, some photos and two crystals that are still with me from my teen years. I have a playlist that I arrange for the evening, choosing what to start with and where to go.
Then I put on the music and sit down and 'meditate' (or mostly just sitting breathing and calming the mind).
Then when I feel like it I start with a small amount of herbs, to get a feeling if it's a good evening for it or not. Most of the times it is
