Since the dawn of humanity, in all tribes and villages on all continents, man has already communed with the Great Spirit through the Sacred Pipe.

Many civilizations such as the Incas, Mayans, Aztecs, among several other ancestral civilizations, always gathered to perform prayer and prayer ceremonies administered by shamans, healers and healers. This ancient practice was widely practiced by the Native American brothers, who called the Sacred Pipe Chanupa or Sacred Pipe.

The Sacred Pipe is one of the three most sacred instruments of the shaman, like the drum and the maraca! But the difference is that the Sacred Pipe is made for a deeper and more intense contact with the Spiritual World, for raising prayers, mantras and prayers, always with the purpose of raising feelings of great gratitude, respect and love for the Great Spirit. The Sacred Pipe represents the union of the feminine with the masculine, the part where the tobacco is stored to be burned is the feminine part and through which the smoke passes represents the masculine. The Sacred Pipes are usually adorned with feathers, ropes or leather, and it is an object of power used to establish a direct connection with the Great Spirit. This connection symbolizes the union of the two parts, female and male, with the Great Spirit, and it is through smoke, another phenomenon of power, that your prayers and intentions reach heaven.

The Sacred Pipe is not smoked, if "pita", it is not used like the cigarette, which has more than 4,750 toxins. The smoke must never be inhaled, it must rise subtly, light and pure, without passing through your lungs, so that your messages reach the Spirits' World in good understanding.

Ritual of the Sacred Pipe

​

The ritual begins with the shaman invoking spiritual guides and mentors and honoring the Spirit of Tobacco. People sit in a circle, usually with a fire in the center, and the shaman has the floor.

Each person in the circle takes the pipe of the brother on the left, fills with tobacco and ascends, passing the lit Sacred Pipe to the owner, starting the prayers, prayers and intentions. Afterwards, the shaman starts the shaman in the circle, commanding the elemental sylphs and sylphs, from the element of air, to potentiate the smoke that rises to the Spirits' World.

At another time, people divide, to share their experience, this is the period of many unlocks, because by throwing out their problems and listening to people's problems, we can assimilate and understand our own problems more perfectly.

The entire ritual is carried out in an atmosphere of silence, another very profound feature of the Ritual of the Sacred Pipe, silence minimizes the air, which provides an ideal atmosphere to communicate with the World of Spirits.

And the ritual ends with the Moment of Gratitude, where we thank all the energies and spirits that came to the ritual to bring their learning and teachings.
