What is KAP

The Kundalini Activation Process (KAP) is a transmission of life force energy. This process was founded by Venant Wong, who discovered he could activate a person’s Kundalini through touch by working with the energy systems and meridian points. Certified KAP facilitators transmit non-dual awareness and kundalini energy that enters through the crown chakra and flows down toward the root chakra. Therefore, the combination of non-dual awareness and universal life force (kundalini) energy is the Kundalini Activation Process.

Unlike most kundalini practices, such as kundalini yoga or tantra, this is not a self-generating process where you are working to move your kundalini energy upwards. This way of activation can cause some unfavorable or unexpected experiences because it’s generally common for there to be blockages in the higher energy points and chakras. With that being said, as the energy rises, it can have some resistance when attempting to elevate. However, the process of KAP is much different.

Since the energy is transmitted through the crown, it works to alleviate any stagnant energies within the higher chakras before reaching the root chakra where eventually the energies of the transmission and one’s own kundalini energy, begin to flow both ways. It’s a very natural process that won’t shock the system in any way. By simply allowing this intelligent energy to do exactly what your system needs in the moment, KAP is said to produce profound effects.

“It was like a psychedelic experience without psychedelics. I have never been able to even meditate on my own and I was shown an entirely new state of mind. I saw so many colors and visuals during the session. Each time I experience KAP, I am completely mind blown.”

Once activated, many have described feeling a tingling sensation or the “energy” throughout their body, having visions and going on astral journeys, experiencing an emotional release such as crying, screaming, and/or laughing, and kinesthetic movements such as yoga and mudras have also been reported. Participants who have experienced KAP have expressed increased awareness, mental clarity, feeling wholeness or oneness, a decrease in anxiety or depression, and relief in body aches and pains. Further, KAP participants have reported significant life changes such as moving through past traumas with newfound awareness, serendipitous alignments, and manifestations at a rapid rate.

Lifeforce Energy

Lifeforce energy is innate universal energy. It has a natural intelligence that can heal the body, mind, and soul which makes experiencing this energy the safest and most natural way to activate your own kundalini energy. The concept of life force energy or “Prana” has a long history dating back to the 18th century when the debate of vitalism emerged. Lifeforce energy is widely discussed in several ancient medicinal practices such as Naturopathic Medicine, Ayurveda and Chinese medicine.

Ayurvedic medicine, one of the world’s oldest holistic healing systems, refers to life force energy as Prana in Sanskrit or “breath of life.” Prana is understood to manifest in many forms, entering the body at birth and holding body, mind and spirit together as one, before leaving at death. Chinese Medicine, which dates back to at least 2,200 years, identifies Qi as the life force of the universe that constantly flows through every living organism and non-living object. Chinese medicine believes an imbalance of qi in an individual represents the root of all illnesses.

Naturopathic and Chiropractic medicine aided in the prevention of the concept of life force energy from becoming extinct as western medicine and science populated the west. This vital energy is detailed in Naturopathic medicine as, “the natural healing force within the body that is expressed through the central nervous system”. Historically, life force energy was expressed as “innate” or having a natural intelligence.

My Journey with KAP

KAP has transformed my life in ways I didn’t know was possible and it continues to offer me enlightenment, release, and expansion. While working in the wellness field for the last decade, I came across KAP, and just like most people, I was intrigued by the mystery of energy. I went to my first KAP Open Class and as soon as I felt the energy transmission I knew my life was going to change. It felt like I was finally tapped into my full potential. The energy surged through my being and I felt incredibly capable to hold and share this energy with others almost immediately. At the time, I was pretty well-versed in other Kundalini practices but KAP felt different. It had this sense of familiarity yet it remained an enigma.

It was at the KAP teacher training in Tulum, Mexico where I experienced the totality of KAP which is difficult to describe. During my stay, I released past traumas, stagnant energies, and built-up emotions. In one of the most transformative KAP sessions I experienced, I was in a completely altered state. I began mourning the pain and abandonment I experienced as a child and towards the end of the transmission, I found acceptance and healed those wounds with pure love. I was able to release this trauma that was producing stagnant energy within my system and freed space for my activated kundalini to roam.

My biggest realization in working with KAP is surrender. In my personal practice with KAP, I have understood what it means to surrender as a practitioner. I’ve learned KAP is a trade. One of the requirements for me to transmit the purest and strongest transmission possible is that I must maintain a high frequency. It’s like being given the key to heaven but you’re the lock. To open the world inside you, you must first be willing to open up. It’s not just a matter of clearing your energy often, journaling or meditating frequently. It requires monitoring every single thing I consume and an unimaginable amount of dedication and trust for KAP. To me, this energy is conscious and omniscient. From the moment I experienced my first KAP Open class to now holding these vital classes for my community, this intelligent energy has truly immersed itself throughout my life and the lives of others producing deep healing and expansion through its innate knowing.  Life Force Energy is the essence of life and living things, and we all harness it. We just have to decide if we are willing to be open to it.
