ᴋᴀᴘ ɪꜱ ᴀ ᴛʀᴀɴꜱᴍɪꜱꜱɪᴏɴ ᴏꜰ ᴋᴜɴᴅᴀʟɪɴɪ ᴇɴᴇʀɢʏ ᴀɴᴅ ɴᴏɴ-ᴅᴜᴀʟ ꜱᴛᴀᴛᴇꜱ ᴏꜰ ᴄᴏɴꜱᴄɪᴏᴜꜱɴᴇꜱꜱ ᴏʀ ᴏɴᴇɴᴇꜱꜱ. It’s stands for Kundalini Activation Process. When the energy is transmitted by the facilitator it activates a person’s life force energy that exists inside every one of us.  It's the path of surrender, there is nothing a person needs to “do” while the facilitator transmits the energy. The energy enters through the crown chakra, and builds up in between the first and second chakra, to then start flowing both ways.  No breathwork or poses are necessary: that's why it's different from kundalini yoga, tantra or chi-gong. In KAP, to receive and feel the energy all you need to do is to surrender.  During the session experiences can be: out of body, bliss states, seeing colours and visions, and having emotional releases. Nevertheless, what happens in the session is not what's most important, what comes after is a profound unblocking of your energy centers and a deeper connection to your intuition and to your true self.  The real changes in your life occur because of these major internal shifts. No experience required! Important to note: - Please wear comfortable clothing - Try not to eat 3 hours before the session (or something light, such as a piece of fruit) - Try to avoid alcohol or substances 24 hours before the session - Bring a yoga mat if you prefer, otherwise one will be provided for you
