Ceremony Integration
The integration of kambo requires a bit of care and attention. It is quite normal for a mix of things to present themselves and it is important to have the support to navigate the days ahead. It is really important to rest and take things slow if your body is asking for a slower pace.
It is normal to feel lethargic, achey, or sensitive for several days after the session. A post session headache can be quite normal as well. It is also important to keep your detox pathways open for the next 7 days. Support your body with proper minerals, electrolytes, sodium, and magnesium following your session.
Kambo often shifts our ability to integrate wisdom back into the body. Activities like yoga, breathwork, infrared saunas, massage, acupuncture, walking, mindful meditation, spending time in nature, journaling, float tanks, & sound therapy can be grounding and helpful in your personal post kambo care routine.
Journaling is a helpful tool post ceremony. Insights can come through to us during our ceremony that might not be clear immediately afterwards. Taking notes and writing is an excellent way to move through thoughts that may come to us during this time.
Continue to eat nourishing foods. It is best to avoid dairy, sugar, alcohol, and processed foods for the next 5-7 days after your session. Your body will be working hard to detox so do your best to avoid burdening it with any additional toxicity or stress. Avoid cannabis for at least 24 hours after the session.
Ideally you will feel great after your ceremony, but it is best to eat and rest afterwards. You will be able to carry on with the remainder of your day, but it is best to give yourself some time and space in your day if you need time for yourself. I do not recommend having anything too draining, energetically taxing, or physically demanding immediately following your session. At times, a person can experience a lot of energy after a session, but even with this increase in energy, it is best to take things slower to incorporate the after-glow affects of kambo.
You will be able to drive after your session, but it is recommended that you avoid making plans for the rest day if possible. The magic is typcally found in the days and weeks following the ceremony. People often report increased energy and stamina throughout the day, a positive and happy outlook, increased senses, quicker reaction time, emotional breakthroughs, clarity, motivation, greater overall acceptance of life and situations, and less stress.
Post-kambo ceremony is a wonderful time to make positive lifestyle changes, quit negative or harmful habits, make important decisions, and take on larger tasks and challenges.
The spirit of kambo stays with you for quite some time after the ceremony, guiding and protecting you.
