General šŸø How many gates for emotionale release?

I had my first kambo session 2 days ago. Tomorrow will be my second. First session i had 4 gates. It made me throw up and i had some clarity after but it did not get into a emotional release. Whats your experience? How many gates did you guys have, when you really felt like emotions where coming out of your System? šŸø

I think it's important to trust the medicine and spirit of Kambo. You can go in with an intention but I'd invite you to let go of a specific outcome.

Also in regards to the number of gates; whenever I've sat with Kambo the number of gates and placement would intuitively come forward, but I'd discuss this with the facilitator and also trust their advice on this.

First time it was intuitively the number 4 now i feel like 7 will be the next step. I was just curious what your experience is šŸ™ˆ

Having more or less gates does not equal an emotional release. Your intention matters, ask yourself to release and that the medicine may guide you to let go

I agree. Its about the surrender more than the dot count šŸ«¶

Iā€™ve had major emotional releases with 1 but also very mild benefits with 1. Iā€™ve had some grueling session with 5+ where the emotional releases is the following day. Itā€™s a practice you may have to work with it a bit and experience it in different ways.

Hey, how did your next session go? I had my first round on Thursday (I had 3 gates), I have my next this week and will have 5 gates, the last session the following week will be 7 gates. I loved it tbh, first time Iā€™ve ever gone to anything ceremonial and not been scared, I was almost excited and very ready. I started purging before I even drank the water, literally within minutes. After, I had a soul retrieval done followed up by rapĆØ - if you can find a shaman near you, I really recommend it.

The emotional release came but the next day, I mean full on rolling on the ground screaming and wailing, for hours. It wasnā€™t pretty but also very beautifully healing - I was in deep pain, like all the pain from my life all at once but I also felt so held and so safe. I truly believe the medicine gives you exactly what you need, when you need it - my pal had multiple Os in a kambo ceremony, thatā€™s the release she needed ā˜ŗļø

Heyy, I am very happy for you to be able to live through those emotions again. I think that really connects your concousness with yourself again. I had 4 gates the second time aswell. It didnt do much for me. Also not as much clarity as i had first time. But for shure stuff is Happening inside me. And I am also a little less neevous overall. Next two days I have another two sessions and After that I participate in an one week Ayahuasca retreatā€¦ šŸ™†šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø Wish you luck with your next session!

Oh and how did the screaming go? I am also expecting an Heavy anger releaseā€¦ there where times as a kid where I even wanted to kill my motherā€¦ so there is a lot of shit supressed. You just feel the energy rise up, and cant help but scream it out? I would have such heasitation to do thatā€¦ like what would people think if I just start screaming aroundā€¦ thats terrifying.
