{"product_id":"muru-rape","title":"Murú rapé – Huni Kuin","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMurú rapé: strength that begins at the root\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrength: 7 out of 7. Character: strength, fire, deep grounding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome things don't go away with gentleness. You've tried it. Breathing slowly, being gentle with yourself. And yet it's still there. Then something is needed that begins at the root. Murú is such a blend. Not harsh. Not brutal. But unmistakably real.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMurú rapé is made by the Huni Kuin in Acre, in the Brazilian Amazon. It has a strength of 7 out of 7, the highest on our scale. Murú is for those who already know rapé and want to go a step deeper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is Murú rapé?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImagine a palm tree with a trunk covered in long, black spikes. You can't just lean against it. It grows in the wet areas of the Amazon, along rivers and in low forest. That is the murumuru palm, \u003cem\u003eAstrocaryum murumuru\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaybe you know the name. Murumuru butter is in many shampoos and hair care products. That butter comes from the seeds of the same palm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Huni Kuin make the ash from this palm for Murú. And that's where the name also comes from: Murú is a shortening of murumuru. You see rapé under this name almost nowhere else. Are you searching for \"muru rapé\"? Then you're in the right place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRapé is pronounced as \"ha-pé\". That's why you also see the spelling hapé. It is a fine plant powder that the Huni Kuin traditionally use in ceremony and meditation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Murú is made\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ash of the murumuru palm is the base. Plants from the tradition are added to it. Not one plant does the work. It is an interplay, and the ratio is knowledge passed down by the Huni Kuin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything is done by hand. Drying, finely pounding, letting it crumble in the sun, over a large sieve. Songs and prayers are offered during the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRapé you see elsewhere is often coarser and grainier. Murú is super fine, almost powdery. With a blend of strength 7, that is no detail. You only need a little of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDirectly sourced, and carefully controlled\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rapé comes directly from a Huni Kuin village in Acre, without intermediaries. Kevin has had a connection with this village for about eight years and speaks with them daily, via WhatsApp and video calls. Going to the village is at the top of his list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost every month, a small, fresh shipment arrives. Kevin does the final check. After that, Murú goes directly into a dark bottle that blocks uv-light. This way, the prayers and songs remain captured inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Huni Kuin are also called Kaxinawá. They themselves choose Huni Kuin, \"the True People\". So do we.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"They get the price they ask. I never haggle. And besides, a part of the proceeds goes back to the village.\" — Kevin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do people experience Murú?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMurú comes in strong. You notice that immediately. Many people describe a warmth that starts low in the belly and slowly rises. Through the belly, to the chest. Like fire that is stoked from below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat comes after that differs per person. Many people talk about a feeling of letting go. As if something that had been stuck for a long time comes into motion. Old patterns. A heaviness they have carried for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd then the moment after. Many people describe that as lighter. Not exhausted, but more spacious. As if you take off a heavy coat you have worn for far too long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMurú is traditionally used to ground deeply. You stand with both feet on the ground again, with strength in your lower body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many people experience Murú\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eStrength and fire, from the bottom up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDeep grounding, with your feet firmly on the ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMovement in what has been stuck for a long time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAfterwards: a light, spacious feeling inside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is experience, not a promise. Everyone experiences rapé differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho is Murú rapé for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMurú is not a first introduction. It is a consciously chosen next step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYou already have experience with rapé\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou have been working with types like Tsunu, Rosa, or Murici for a few months. You know how your body reacts. You know how to deal with a strong experience. Then Murú can be the next step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYou keep running into the same wall\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe same situations. The same reactions. You are working on yourself, and yet it comes back. Many people then choose Murú, when they feel that it goes deeper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYou are coming out of a heavy period\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLong hard work. Caring for someone. Losing something or someone. A lot has piled up. Many people use Murú to consciously let that go, with time and space afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYou facilitate ceremonies yourself\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCeremonial leaders use Murú when they feel that someone wants to move more.

A quiet place, an open evening.

The Huni Kuin make the ash from that palm for this rapé. Murú is the short name. It is the same palm where murumuru butter comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMurú or Murici: what is the difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe names are similar, but they are two completely different blends. Murici comes from the murici tree, has a strength of 5 out of 7 and is a good start. Murú comes from the murumuru palm, has a strength of 7 out of 7 and is for experienced users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Murú suitable for beginners?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Start with Tsunu, Rosa, or Murici. Work with that for a few months. Do you know how your body reacts to rapé?

After that, something often continues to work through: a lighter feeling, a different look. Sometimes for a few days. It differs per person and per moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between Murú and Parika?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eParika has a strength of 5 out of 7 and contains seeds of Anadenanthera and the ash of the Paricá tree.
