My First Kambo


I sat with Kambo for the first time Oct. 17th, 2023. To say this was a fun experience would be an out right lie. I have been feeling the call to sit with this beautiful medicine since March 2023. After having my experience, I see now why the Divine had me wait.

I was introduced to Kambo probably around 2017. I was fascinated but not really educated on this medicine. I was witnessing the amazing things that it was doing for those who sat with it. At this point in time, I was deep in my karmic cycle. My focus wasn’t even near what all Kambo could provide for an individual. If I’m being honest, I really don’t think I would have appreciated the medicine if I had sat with it then.

Flash forward to March 2023, I am invited to hold space for two individuals while they sit with this medicine. While Kambo has always been in my sphere and awareness, it had not been in my physical reality for some time. I definitely hadn’t been so intimately close with it until this day either. The moment the ceremony started for the individuals who asked me to come hold space for them, I knew that I needed to sit with Kambo. It was almost like the medicine was calling to me. I was seeing frogs everywhere after and didn’t even realize how many frog figurines I owned.

March 2023 was a big month for me. It was the start of my second grand awakening. This time I was diving deep into my shadows. I was planning to sit with Kambo just a few weeks later but the Divine had other plans. I know now that the reason for doing so was for my own benefit. From March to October 2023, I had been purging, releasing, facing shadows, feeling again, and so much more. It was necessary for me to do this on my own without the assistance of Kambo or any other individual really. Maybe I will deep dive into this particular discussion in another post.

So here I am, October 2023 and it has finally aligned for me to sit with Kambo. It was a small intimate ceremony with two other beautiful individuals whom I had never met. It was all divinely orchestrated. The three of us all had the intention for heart clearing, accession, and stepping into our power fully. I felt safe and comfortable. I was not one bit nervous or worried at all. I had my intentions clear. I was grounded and confident, ready to purge the remains of what was still living inside of me from the past, from others, and from my ancestral lineage.

Before I get into the details of my experience, I want to note the small synchronicities that occurred that morning. Prior to coming in, I called on Archangel Michael to be with me. When I got inside, I was asked to pick a spot to sit. I was immediately drawn to the space in the corner left of the room. As I looked around my surroundings, on a small alter right next to me, there stood a small statue of Archangel Michael making sure I knew his presence was there. It filled my heart with so much love and appreciation. The facilitator provided me with a parking permit to go hang in my car and on that parking permit was angel number 444. Another thing to make me feel even more secure in my angelic team. Walking back up from putting the permit in my car, a car drove by with license plate 666. That’s when I knew how many gates I was to sit with that day.

The facilitator opened the space and we started. Since this was my first time, I was given one gate to start to see how my body would react. All for safety reasons. The facilitator provided the other two with their medicine. As this was happening, I was getting used to the frequency of the medicine. Heat overcame my body and I was feeling good. I remember thinking ‘Oh this is nothing, this is going to be a breeze.’ It was a gentle acquainting before a harsh show.

The facilitator came back to me and provided me with the rest of the medicine. I chose 6 gates on my heart meridian line. Each drop of medicine became more and more intense and soon I was immersed in Kambo. Within five minutes my inner child was screaming for me to get the medicine off. Fear filled up my whole being and I was terrified. It was hot and I was drenched in sweat. Sweaty and terrified. All within five minutes. I came in with no expectations and only intention. I had no fear so I was shocked that this was what I was feeling.

Finally the purging started. I was vomiting it all out. Stuff was coming up and out that I didn’t even know where it came from or who’s it was. Anger, so much anger was coming out. After every purge, a growl/yell was coming out. I kept hearing “this isn’t yours”, “you’re safe, it’s okay, let it out”, and the one that really got me was “MAMA” over and over again. I didn’t have any visuals. All I could see and feel was red. It was so hot. I really thought that I was not going to make it through. Purging, purging, purging, a pause, and more purging.

The other two had finished their process and the facilitator asked me if I was done. My head shook no. It wasn’t me shaking my head no, though. It was the medicine. Hunched over my purge bucket, I was angry and hot. I felt so weak. I had released so much and my bucket was almost full. I wasn’t done yet though. I chugged the remainder of my water, screamed, and purged. The amount that came from that last purge, I didn’t even think was something I was capable of doing. I couldn’t breathe and it just kept coming. Finally, it stopped. I started crying. I couldn’t take any more.

The medicine was wiped off. The facilitator laid me down and covered me up. My body temperature immediately dropped and I was absolutely freezing. It felt like I was in below zero with no clothes on. I was shaking and my teeth were chattering. The facilitator started to play sound bowls to ease us into rest. I could not stay laid down. I sat up, grabbed my bucket, and purged even more! The other two got a nice symphony of sound bowls and vomiting. This last purge and I was done. I was able to rest.

I woke up to a nice warm cup of tea and an array of delicious raw snacks. I could not consume anything but the tea. I was so sensitive to smells and everything tasted too flavorful for me to handle. I had ate two small pieces of watermelon. That was all I could handle. It is a requirement to fast 12 hours before sitting with Kambo. So, at this point, I had gone at least 15 hours with only water.

Sanaga was offered to finish the ceremony but I could not withstand any more pain. My inner child was so mad at me. My body was weak. I was beyond exhausted. I have Sanaga of my own so I made sure to sit with this when I was able to again. It helps with the integration process.

So, I finish my tea and muster up the energy to drive home. I have about an hour drive ahead of me. I am feeling better at this point; just a little sleepy. I have no thoughts in my head as I drive and the music is off. Half way home, I start to feel extremely nauseated again. The closer I get to home, the more tired I become. I tell myself to push through. I will make it home.

I’m finally home and I throw myself on my bed. I order food through Uber and fall asleep. I wake up just in time to grab my food as it is delivered. I take two bites from my avocado toast and know that I will not be able to eat. I try to eat some of the fruit and granola but can barely eat that either. I sat it to the side and slept more. I sleep for five hours. I wake up to eat, check in with my partner, and try to be a human for the rest of the day. I could not do it. I was met with a splitting migraine that made me even more nauseous. My inner child was so mad. I was so discouraged. The thought “I am never doing that again” kept coming through. I ate half a piece of butter toast and finally released control. I let myself just sleep. I stopped trying to force myself to do anything, even eat.

I woke up the next morning and I felt normal again! A little drained but I am able to function. I slept for 17 hours and fasted even more. I take it easy on myself as I go through this day. I did some work and rested. I barely ate this day but I wasn’t hungry really. The day after I notice that I am having some blocks when I try to connect to my heart. The connection was not connecting. I was getting upset because I felt like I had back tracked. This Kambo was supposed to help me feel even more connected to my heart, right?

Day 3 post Kambo and I sit with Sanaga. I immediately felt a weight lifted off my chest and I can feel again!! The two days prior were a little hazy. I was not feeling like myself. I was feeling so low energetically. After the Sanaga, I felt aligned again. It’s hard for me to explain but the Sanaga after the Kambo is a must in my eyes. (Hehe no pun intended)

The following days, I let the medicine work through and reveal to me what needed to be shown. And I still am. The purging that I did was mostly from the gallbladder and sexual organs based on the color that was in my bucket. Since I have “recalibrated”, I have had new lessons from certain situations from the past be shown. I am able to hold my self accountable for everything that has occured in my life. I have released so much. I feel empowered and have a new sense of self. My intuition and clairs are on fire. My kundalini has been so active too! I feel like my life force energy has had a nice refresh. The thought of doubting my abilities, purpose, and power is mute. That’s just on the energetic level.

On the physical level, I have a better understanding of my body. My body literally rejects what is not good for it. I have naturally gravitated towards meals that are full of healthy living foods. I can feel when there is stagnant energy that needs to be moved much easier now. I feel stronger. I am stronger. My body and mind are in sync. I feel like my mental, emotional, energetic, and physical bodies are all working together.

So, when I say I see now why the Divine had me wait, it’s because if I had not I probably would have filled up four buckets and been out for a week. Would I do Kambo again? Absolutely. Is the medicine still showing me things a week later? Absolutely. This medicine is so beautiful and intelligent. My Kambo journey is just beginning.
