I'm very happy to see you put this policy in place Kampum - thank you.
How will you determine a legitimate practitioner?
I get people writing to me constantly for advice calling themselves practitioners including some that I have identified on here doing the same on this forum after I have refused to advise. When I have asked for a little more information about their teachers/experience so that I can decide whether to advise or not, I have been faced with arrogance, rudeness, untruths and outright aggression. One recently told me that if I didn't help her she would 'find her own way through' . Given the situation, she was fully prepared to endanger another's life despite telling me that she had no training or teachings of any nature apart from the gifts she came here with!
I hate to say it but I have also experienced occasions where it is clear that financial gain is at the root of some people's motives.
Somehow we need people to understand that being a Kambo practitioner is not easy and its not just burning a few points and sticking some Kambo on it. Its a path of devotion, connection, responsibility, accumulating knowledge, continual learning, self experimentation, understanding your own limitations and being prepared to make the investment to get teachings, find mentors and make a commitment to doing only good with love and healing at the forefront of our minds.
It takes a lot of time and money and energy and deep dedication!
I have several apprentices at the moment and many more desiring of it. They work for free under my supervision but even they would not call them selves 'practitioners' yet. They are learning slowly and thoroughly - everything from holding a calm strong space to understanding boundaries. Administering the medicine is a small part of it.
