What is a Tobacco Reading?
At Meashenu, a Tobacco Reading is not simply a ritual—it is a sacred dialogue between the seen and unseen, guided by the spirit of Grandfather Tobacco (Tabaco Runa). In this session, Galo works as a bridge, channeling messages, guidance, and healing through his deep relationship with this revered plant medicine.
For thousands of years, tobacco has been used across Indigenous cultures in the Americas as a powerful spiritual ally—a plant of connection, protection, and prayer. It is said to carry prayers to the Great Spirit, to cleanse energies, and to illuminate hidden truths. Through the tobacco, we speak to Spirit, and Spirit speaks back.
Each reading is a unique, living transmission, tailored to your specific intention—whether you seek:
🌿 Clarity on life decisions
🌿 Energetic cleansing or removal of negative influences
🌿 Protection from harmful energies
🌿 Healing of emotional or spiritual imbalances
🌿 Insight into patterns affecting your well-being
A Timeless Practice Passed Through Generations
The practice of tobacco reading (sometimes called tobacco divination or soplada) has been passed down for millennia, used by shamans, curanderos, and healers to:
✅ Open energetic pathways for opportunities and growth
✅ Protect sacred spaces and the individual from harmful influences
✅ Call in spiritual allies, ancestors, and guides
✅ “Read” the energetic body—acting as an “X-ray” of imbalances or attachments
✅ Release stagnant or heavy energies through the breath and spirit of tobacco
It is often said that tobacco is the “telephone” of the spirit world—carrying messages and visions across realms to deliver exactly what is needed for your path.
How Galo Works with Grandfather Tobacco
For over 6 years, Galo has cultivated a profound relationship with Grandfather Tobacco, answering the call to work as a channel and servant of this sacred medicine. Guided by the plant’s intelligence, Galo uses jungle-grown Tabaco Runa in a ceremonial way to:
✨ Perform energetic “X-rays” of your body, mind, and spirit—revealing hidden imbalances or blockages.
✨ Blow the tobacco smoke (soplada) in specific ways to cleanse, align, or protect your energetic field.
✨ Serve as a conduit for direct messages from Spirit, delivering insights, warnings, or encouragement.
✨ Offer deep energetic purification, helping to clear heavy energies and restore balance.
Each reading is guided by prayer, intention, and humility, with Galo listening deeply to what the spirit of tobacco wants to share for your healing and growth.
What to Expect in a Tobacco Reading
Every tobacco reading is unique, but you may experience:
🌬️ A sense of release or lightness as energies clear
🌬️ Emotional or physical sensations as blockages move
🌬️ Direct messages, images, or symbols received by Galo and shared with you
🌬️ Guidance on actions, protections, or changes to support your path
🌬️ A feeling of protection, grounding, or clarity after the session
The ritual may involve Galo blowing smoke around your body (soplada), over sacred objects, or into the air as part of the communication with Spirit. You may sit quietly in meditation, prayer, or simply receive.
A Sacred Ally, Used with Respect
At Meashenu, we honor tobacco as a sacred plant of great power—not to be taken lightly or overused. Grandfather Tobacco is strong, direct, and protective, but must be worked with in balance, reverence, and respect.
We use this medicine only under the guidance of trained practitioners like Galo, who understand its depth and spiritual weight. Sessions are held with care for your body, mind, and soul, always prioritizing your well-being.
👉 Important Note: While the tobacco spirit works deeply in the energetic and spiritual realms, the physical use of tobacco is kept minimal and purposeful to honor both safety and tradition.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during a tobacco reading session?
During the session, Galo uses sacred jungle-grown tobacco to channel messages, perform energetic scans (or “X-rays”), and cleanse your energetic field. He may blow the tobacco smoke (soplada) around your body or into the space, while sharing insights or guidance he receives from Spirit.
Do I need to inhale or smoke the tobacco myself?
No—you will not be required to smoke or inhale tobacco during the session. The tobacco is handled by Galo in a ceremonial way, and any use of smoke is directed externally for energetic and spiritual purposes.
What can I expect to feel or experience during a reading?
Everyone’s experience is different. Some people feel a sense of emotional release, clarity, or lightness. Others may experience subtle energetic shifts or receive clear guidance through the messages Galo shares. Some sessions may bring up emotions or memories that are ready to be healed.
Is the tobacco reading safe for people with respiratory sensitivities?
Because the tobacco is used ceremonially and you won’t be inhaling it, most people tolerate the session well. If you have a respiratory condition or sensitivity to smoke, let us know beforehand so we can adjust the use of tobacco or modify the session for your comfort.
How should I prepare for a tobacco reading?
It’s recommended to come with an open mind, a clear intention or question, and a willingness to receive. Avoid alcohol or other substances at least 24 hours before your session. You may wish to reflect quietly or journal afterward to integrate any insights you receive.
