So I had a great introduction to Kambo... (I didn't purge so I won't call it an initiation).
I did 3 dots on acu-point SP 10, on the Spleen meridian. A little above the knee, towards the inside of the leg.
The first time I didn't do the burns right. So I switched to the other leg and made sure that I peeled a little layer of skin from each burn mark. That did the trick!
As soon as the effects came on, I saw a hummingbird out of the corner of my eye. Seconds later, as I approached the peak, it flew by my face - literally 2 feet away and looking at me as if to say, "Yeah, I see what you're doing there"!
The main part lasted about 5 minutes. My body & especially my face got very hot, my heart started pounding like tribal drums, and I felt a little queasy. Definitely perceived a very integrated frog spirit acting as 'master of ceremonies'. Friendly and precise. As these effects subsided I felt just dandy for most of the day... couldn't wipe the smile from my face.
I wanted to do more, but SP 10 was the only acu-point I had familiarized myself with. ( a convenient excuse, right? ;-) )
KP, I think I understand your missionary zeal for Kambo better now! Afterwards I wanted to share it with everyone :-)
I wish I *had* purged, because it feels like some nasty shit was partially loosened, and now my body is suddenly anxious to be rid of it. But I plan on 5 dots within the next week so that opportunity should come soon enough!
Thanks again to everyone who's contributed their knowledge & experience!
