Voluntarily allowing poison into my body for the first time.
It was early on a Sunday morning in New Jersey of September 2024 when my friend, a master shaman, asked me if I wanted to drive down South to be served Kambo. After the ceremony with him a few weeks prior and connecting to spend time together, I knew this medicine was calling to me. It was early enough in the morning where I hadn't eaten yet or had coffee. It was quite an easy, confident yes. I followed my GPS and ended up driving to this temple. I had to laugh at divine synchronicity when I learned that he was at an entirely different location. Finally, we connected face to face.
The shaman offered me Bufo before trying Kambo. We discussed why it would help when I asked if I wanted to learn the spirits individually. He said Bufo would help me be clearer spiritually and energetically before the Kambo journey. Ultimately, I decided on trying Bufo. I smoked the pipe 3 times, holding it into my gut and allowing my body to absorb the smoke. After the 3rd hit, he looked at me and said “Damn you’re still here?? You’re built different”. We both laughed for a minute. The thing about this friend is that he dominates a room with his presence. He is charismatic and powerful, and full of so much wisdom. I smiled and asked for the pipe again. Soon, the bufo started hitting me where I found myself in an astral space. My body felt physically calmed, as my mind felt clear, I was transported into this eyeball of all I could perceive. It was very sacred, as if I were in a multidimensional house. I was easily connected and speaking with Source. I felt very connected to Self too - the walls were down. Soon, I had to chug about one liter of water before 4 small circular burns were placed on my upper right arm. The burns didn’t hurt too bad. The Kambo was layered onto these burns in order to get into my lymphatic system so the medicine could return throughout my body. I immediately felt it sink into my face and I felt the space in between my physical face and the energy Kambo scooped up. That all then dropped into my abdomen. My last thought before I puked, was damn I really feel like shit. I fell over and threw up on myself. After finding the bucket, I purged maybe 4 times. I was so sweaty and had saliva all over my face. Once the purging was over, I layed in the sunlight outside. I learned a lot about this man, letting me tell him about his medicine work and how he serves people. He is a true Master. After I drove home, I slept for 12 hours.
The days following this experience, I felt so clear. So myself. So healthy. So connected to source. I will forever be grateful and deepen my relationship with Kambo.
