A Beautiful Journey
well it's good to know that the headache isn't uncommon, you are the second person who has told me that they have had a bad headache. I had attempted a flood a few months ago and had a weird experience. It was two separate batches of TA and we came to the conclusion that we had burned one of them when either making it or trying to dry it out quickly.. that time, I didn't get any buzzing but a big POP in my head, then a few light visuals then I fell asleep. I think the POP is what made me concerned about the headache so much this time. I had really wanted to do Kambo before hand, but was unable to due to several circumstances... next time I will make sure to I am sure there are things that still need purging, there probably always will be, but I think I may need to take a break from large doses for a little while, I have every intention of working with the medicine for as long as I am able roxine
Hey La! The pink and red hearts and confetti sound really cool. Iboga likes to make the chaotic swirl of visions thematic sometimes.....I wonder if that "theme" will have more meaning to you as the days/weeks/years go by ;o) Keep integrating! I am so proud to hear you have finally put down the cancer sticks. I am over 6 weeks now, and I am in love with the raw power of being able to take a FULL deep breathe...... It's great to see you back and bouncing around the room! Love, Blue
Very beautiful. Thank you for sharing! Glad to hear you are off the 'ciggies' :-)
Lala ~ I am so happy to hear you had a mostly pleasant experience this time around, full of Hearts, Light & Life as well as possible new beginnings. Shine On Lady
I have never experienced a headache, migraine, or pressure around a flood. Weird. Since doing Kambo now is not really recommended due to purging the treasured Nori-build, you should try and alleviate your headache through other ways. Best migraine medicine OTC is: 500mg acetaminophen, 200mgs of caffeine, and an aspirin. That's 3 pain relievers, a blood thinner (anti-coagulant), and an anti-inflammatory. KP, this is a very interesting concept you are tapping into. However, it also sounds like a religious dogma/doctrine. When people are seekers of Truth, it becomes difficult for the mind to accept these beliefs without more information (i.e. evidence of some sort). Things of this nature are usually best accepted by folks when it is presented as an 'idea', and usually is less likely to be accepted through proselytizing. I am very interested in Kambo thanks to you both, and a few more. I would love to have a ritual ceremony with the elite of the frog community one day. One Love and loads of respect my Iboga people!
No one is trivializing what you said/say - the issue is presenting a personal experience as a universal truth. There is a huge difference between saying "I did X and it worked for me" and saying "do X". Similarly saying "The plants told me to do Y" is much more appropriate than saying "you need to do Y". X and Y clearly work for you and may or may not work/be true for someone else. We know you are well meaning but your experience is just your experience and should be presented as such and in that context. All BT was asking for the context for your statements and it was appropriate for him to do so.
KP, I do want to keep this thread on topic for La, but just briefly I want you to know that it is not my intention to trivialize your viewpoint. Not at all. I believe your above statement happens because we can only feel what we sense (have sensed or can imagine sensing), as long as we remain within the human experience that is. As an empathetic human being, I can ever so slightly "feel" your perspective. Since I have no experience with the concept of "purging for your ancestors", it is difficult be able to relate, to comprehend, to build off of.... Ultimately, it is your job to determine, "do I share this information with this particular audience, and if I do, how do I 'bridge the gap' to best communicate. And that's where the wonderful human art of story telling comes in. I am intrigued by your viewpoint, and I would like to learn more. Share the knowledge brother. Please PM me if you would.
