Kambo Medicine

Friday, 12 December 2025 by Mikel Rodriguez

💥Kambo is a powerful natural medicine for cleansing both the body and the mind, helping to strengthen the immune system, clarify intuition, clear the mind of overexposure to problems, and combat depression, anxiety, addictions, etc. 🐸 It’s a secretion from the Amazonian frog, Phyllomedusa bicolor, that contains a mixture of bioactive peptides. This peptide mixture has very powerful cleansing and fortifying effects on different physiological and psychological levels. A kambo healing session must be conducted by a well-trained healer who prioritizes the safety of the participant, knows how to manage the intense physical process, and considers any contraindications. A safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment is mandatory, where the patients feel comfortable being vulnerable and undergoing the purge. ❤️We conduct all of our practices with profound respect for the medicine—the kambo frog, in this case—and the indigenous traditions from which they come. Our participants are physically and mentally prepared and receive guidance for integration and aftercare following the ceremony.

Significance of the Japamala

Tuesday, 05 August 2025 by Mikel Rodriguez

A japamala is a string of prayer beads used in spiritual practices, especially in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, for meditation, prayer, and counting mantras.

All japamalas have 108 beads, which are used to count the repetition of mantras.

But what is the significance of this number?

According to Dharma traditions, the number 108 represents the types of afflictions of the mind that are the seed of suffering.

This number is reached by counting the six doors through which sensations enter our existence: the five senses plus the ego, the doorway to memory and desire.

These six sensations can produce a reaction that is pleasant, painful or neutral. Six multiplied by three gives 18.

Now, if we locate these mental stimuli on a timeline — past, present or future — we get 54 combinations of affliction.

The number 108 is reached by identifying whether these 54 afflictions exist outside in the matrix of reality or only inside your own mind.

When meditating with your mala, pass through all these combinations to review the afflictions from which we need to detach in order to achieve healing and enlightenment.

May peace be with you. 🙏🏼 NAMASTE
