INFORMED CONSENT AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY
While the KAP modality remains hugely beneficial for the vast majority of people, precautions do exist.
Please take a moment to read through this Informed Consent before attending a KAP session.
KAP (Kundalini Activation Process) is a spiritual modality that works upon the energy system of the body, which has a direct effect on one’s consciousness, psyche, emotional states and physicality. While the energy system of the body has been understood in the Eastern Traditions for thousands of years as an integral part of our human mechanism, neither Western Medicine nor most Western Schools of Thought/Psychology fully acknowledge, accept or understand the effects that working on the energy system can have on either body or mind.
The KAP modality requires a certain amount of faith in and acceptance of how the human spiritual-energetic construct and the unconscious aspects of the self inherently integrate with our conscious mind/body. A self-proclaimed willingness to engage with an open mind and from a place of receptivity is essential.
KAP works with many aspects of a person, including (but not limited to) thoughts, feelings, memories, emotions, daily habits, and overall sense of self. During the session(s) and afterwards, you may encounter thoughts, feelings, or sensations that you have never experienced before, have not previously explored thoroughly, or that you have actively chosen not to look at. Part of the KAP process is embracing some degree of actively transforming any new experiences, shifts or perceptions into a deeper understanding of self, and at times, these new or intensified experiences may be mentally or emotionally uncomfortable.
Likewise, as the energy system of the body opens, adjustments on the physical plane also begin to happen. This may bring about strong sensations of physical lightness and euphoria, or at times it may also bring about old or new pain in the body, which may be either fleeting or lingering as energy begins to flow in new ways and the body adjusts to this higher frequency of energy.
There are a small percentage of people who are not sensitive enough to the energy to notice any discernible physical, mental, emotional or energetic phenomenon during the session(s) or as a result of the session(s). Conversely, for some, the energy may produce a very strong physical, mental, emotional or energetic effect beyond what was anticipated or what one was prepared for. There is no way to predict how any one individual will or will not respond during or as a result of the session(s).
KAP IS GENERALLY NOT SUITABLE for people who currently have or have had in the past, any sort of mental instability, such as (but not limited to) mania, delusion, bi-polar disorder, schizophrenia, psychosis or any other sort of unstable mental state. If you have active suicidal thoughts, homicidal thoughts or are generally prone to unstable mental conditions, KAP may increase this instability and is therefore not advised.
People with mild to moderate depression or anxiety often find some relief with repeated KAP sessions, but this is neither predictable nor guaranteed.
The use of psycho-active plant medicine of any sort (including kambo/bufo) in combination with KAP is NOT ADVISED. It is not recommended that you receive the KAP energy while you still have any of these medicines in your system or are still processing their effects, and that you wait to use any of these medicines until after you’ve had sufficient time to integrate the KAP energy.
KAP is a modality for personal growth and the furthering of one’s self-realization journey. It is not a replacement for medical treatment or clinical psychological assistance, nor is it intended to be used as medical therapy, psychotherapy or treatment for addiction or trauma.
As a participant, I understand the following:
The facilitator (Barbara Blum) is not a licensed clinical psychiatrist, psychologist, or medical doctor, and I should not consider the information, instructions or other communications I may receive from her as medical or psychotherapeutic advice or instruction.
It is my responsibility, in consultation with my health care professionals if I deem it appropriate, to determine whether I am capable of undergoing the session(s) at this time. It is also my responsibility, prior to the session(s), to disclose to the facilitator as soon as possible, any mental or physical conditions that may be of concern.
In that light, if I choose to participate in a session, I attest that I do not have any doubts about my mental health, emotional stability, or physical ability to handle any of the possible reactions that may present themselves in and after the session(s), and I certify that I am physically and mentally capable to engage in KAP at this time.
KAP is an experiential process in which many people have found deep healing on multiple levels, but which may or may not align with my expectations or result in my own personal growth, healing or spiritual insight.
My decision to participate in the session(s) is a personal one and I certify that I have willingly chosen to participate in the session(s). I have not been made any promises or warranties that I will receive any specific benefits or results from my participation in the session(s).
I agree to have absolutely no alcohol, drugs (other than necessary prescription medications) or plant medicines in my system at the time of the session(s).
I understand that no refunds are given for sessions already received, or for any pre-paid sessions should I choose not to follow through with the remaining sessions. Pre-paid sessions may be used anytime, based upon the availability of the facilitator, up to one year from date of purchase.
I UNDERSTAND THAT WHILE KUNDALINI ENERGY IS ULTIMATELY A MEANS OF SPIRITUAL TRANSCENDENCE AND DEEP HEALING,
AN ELEMENT OF UNPREDICTABILITY IS ALWAYS PRESENT.
TO PARTICIPATE, I CERTIFY THAT I AM EITHER 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER, OR THAT I HAVE PARENTAL CONSENT, AND THAT I HAVE CAREFULLY READ THIS AGREEMENT AND UNDERSTAND ITS CONTENTS.
BY PARTICIPATING IN A KAP SESSION, EITHER IN PERSON OR ONLINE,
I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS MY PARTICIPATION ITSELF WHICH SERVES AS MY FULL CONSENT, AND WHICH ACTS AS AN UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE OF LIABILITY FOR ANY CIRCUMSTANCE OR REACTION WHICH MAY OCCUR AS A RESULT OF THE SESSION(S).
