Origins of Sananga
Sananga has been used for centuries by indigenous groups such as the Kaxinawá (Huni Kuin), Matsés, and Yawanawá tribes of the Amazon. These tribes believe Sananga possesses spiritual and medicinal properties, helping warriors enhance their vision for hunting and clearing negative energies from the mind and body. The medicine is deeply woven into shamanic practices, where it is used for spiritual alignment, energetic cleansing, and expanded perception.
How We Apply Sananga in Ceremony
During our ceremonies, Sananga is offered as an optional part of the experience. The process is as follows:
1. Setting the Intention – Before administering Sananga, we invite you to set a clear intention for the medicine’s work. Whether it’s clarity, healing, or emotional release, your intention will guide the experience.
2. Application – A few drops of Sananga are gently placed into each eye while you are in a seated or lying position. You will be guided to breathe deeply and relax into the process.
3. The Experience – The initial sensation is often intense, with a burning or stinging feeling, which lasts for about 1–3 minutes. This is part of the medicine’s cleansing effect, helping to remove energetic blockages.
4. Integration & Aftercare – After the intensity subsides, you may experience a deep sense of clarity, lightness, and heightened awareness. Some people receive visions, emotional insights, or a profound sense of presence. We will hold space for you as you integrate the medicine’s effects.
Sananga is a potent yet beautiful plant ally, offering deep purification, expanded perception, and spiritual alignment. Whether you seek healing, clarity, or connection to your higher self, Sananga serves as a powerful tool in your journey.
