Hi guys,
So today I was reading the forums and got excited and motivated. I found myself alone at home (a rare occurence) and realised that I was ready for a Kambo treatment, not least because I have a slight cough today.
It was a last minute decision so I didn't get to prepare as I would have wanted (by fasting 24 hours). Instead I had eaten a salad and mackerel for lunch 3 hours previous, but this wasn't going to stop me. If you've read my previous experience (5 dots prior to my first Iboga flood) you will know that I am fairly resistant to Kambo. 5 dots had very little effect, so I was planning on 7-9 dots this time. Because of the meridian discussion, and the statement that meridian points are more effective than in the traditional line on the upper arm, I opted to go with 7 dots, with 2 dots back up if needed.
I guzzled some water, got the dots ready, and burned 7 dots on the:
Points 1 & 2) inside of my ankles - Kidney point 5
Points 3 & 4) on my wrists, on the little finger side - Heart point 7
Points 5 & 6) on the reverse side of my forearm, near the elbows - Large intestine 10
Point 7) in the centre of my chest, 3 fingers up from the bottom of my central rib cage - A non-traditional point by the looks of it, but I read it was a good point for relieving anxiety and nervousness (pretty much where the Heart chakra would be)
After burning these points, and being careful to do as KP recommended and take off all the skin (required multiple burnings on each site), I added the Kambo points. This time they stung in a way that they hadn't before. The stinging gave me the distinct impression that the Kambo was going straight into my system in a very effective way.
Before long, I was feeling flushed and light headed. My whole body looked pink, except for the toes on my left foot (big toe in particular) that looked purple rather than pink! That was midly freaky but I didn't let it affect me. I went straight to the bathroom as I fully expected to vomit after having had lunch. As the Kambo kicked in I lay on the floor of my bathroom, being as careful not to rub any points off (I rubbed one point off after about 5 minutes though on my left ankle). I felt nauseted but still hadn't vomitted after 5 mins. Damn, I'd underdosed again. I'd have to burn two more holes. But once I sat up, I felt like I was about to pass out. There was no way I'd be able make it to my room, sit on the bed and burn two new holes feeling like this. I immediately put my head back to the floor before I actually did pass out. It struck me at that point that if I had needed to vomit, I would probably have passed out from being on my knees.
Anyway, I lay there feeling bad for another 10 minutes and eventually felt alright to sit down and have a shit. I then went and lay on my bed. I noticed at this stage that I could see a red line on my forearms (as well as seeing my blue veins) that led to the heart meridian where I'd put a point on my wrist. I assumed it was my arteries but that is just a guess. Interesting though, cos I've never seen this before.
I think I half fell asleep but I also felt conscious. I still felt heavy in the stomach and nauseated throughout this time, but relatively fine, especially compared to a few minutes before After an hour I wiped off the Kambo. I then slept for 50 minutes.
I felt more awake after this, like I have had a cup of coffee, but I had just slept so this is to be expected I guess. If I get any more benefits in the coming hours and days, I will post again on here.
It does make me think that next time I must give greater consideration to what it is I want to cure. This time, I picked easy to find meridian points as it was my first exploration of meridians. The kidney and heart made sense, and the others kinda just happened. I can't help feeling that a proper "Giovanni" meridian point burning is in order. I may consider travelling to Amsterdam for this one day.
