How to Prepare for Your First KAP Session
A little preparation goes a long way. Not because KAP is complicated — it isn’t — but because arriving in the right headspace makes the session more comfortable and more effective.
What to eat (and what to avoid)
Eat a light meal a few hours before. Nothing too heavy. You’ll be lying down for up to 90 minutes, and a full stomach can make that less pleasant.
Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours beforehand. It dulls the body’s sensitivity and can interfere with how you feel during and after.
Caffeine is fine in moderation, but if you’re already prone to anxiety, it’s worth having less than usual on the day.
What to wear
Comfortable, loose clothing is ideal. You’ll be lying on a mat the entire session, so think: whatever you’d wear to do gentle yoga, or relax at home. Layers are useful, as body temperature can shift.
Bring socks if your feet tend to get cold.
What to bring
Water is the main one. Hydrating well before the session helps, and you’ll want water available afterward too.
If you’re attending an in-person group session, arrive a few minutes early. There’s usually time to settle in, find your spot, and ask any questions before we begin.
Emotional preparation
You don’t need to do anything specific, but it helps to arrive with a little openness. Not expectation — just space.
If there’s something on your mind, you don’t need to resolve it before you arrive. KAP often works with whatever is present in the body, and that’s fine.
Some people find a short walk or a few minutes of quiet helpful beforehand. Others come straight from work. Both are completely okay.
After the session: give yourself time
Try not to schedule anything demanding for the few hours after your session. Some people feel clear and energised. Others feel quiet, reflective, or a little tender.
Drink water, eat something grounding, and give your system time to integrate.
This is also why we suggest not driving if you’ve never been to a session before — see how your body responds first.
