How to Prepare for Your First KAP Session

Preparing for KAP is refreshingly simple. There are no rituals to perform and nothing to study. A few practical choices are all it takes to arrive relaxed and get the most from your session.

What to wear

Choose something comfortable and loose that you can lie down in easily. Layers are a good idea — your body temperature can shift during a session, so it helps to be able to add or remove a layer. Avoid tight belts or heavy jewellery. You stay fully clothed throughout.

What to eat and drink (and what to avoid)

Try not to eat a heavy meal in the two hours before your session — something light is better than arriving full. Avoid alcohol and recreational substances; please arrive sober and clear. If you’re sensitive to caffeine, ease off it that day, and drink some water beforehand.

What to bring

Not much. Water is the main thing. If you like, bring an eye mask, a blanket, or socks for extra comfort. For an in-person session, everything else is provided.

Arrive a few minutes early

Give yourself time so you’re not walking in flustered. A few quiet minutes to settle before the introduction makes a real difference to how easily you drop in.

The most important preparation of all

Don’t try to force anything. KAP is a non-doing process — there’s no “right” experience to achieve and nothing to make happen. The more you can let go of doing it correctly, the more naturally the session tends to unfold.

Preparing for an online session

If you’re joining online, your space does a bit more of the work. Set up a quiet, private room where you won’t be interrupted, with stable internet, your camera on, and enough room to lie down comfortably. Headphones or a good speaker help, and put your phone on silent. More on this in our guide to online vs in-person sessions.

Looking after yourself afterwards

Leave yourself a little space after the session rather than rushing straight back into a busy schedule. Hydrate, eat something light, and keep the rest of your day gentle if you can. It’s normal for feelings to surface for a day or two afterwards.

When to check with us first

Please contact us before booking if you have epilepsy or a seizure-related condition, are experiencing serious mental-health instability, are in later pregnancy, or are recovering from a significant injury. KAP is a wellbeing practice, not a substitute for medical or psychological care.

In short: comfortable clothes, a light stomach, arrive sober and a little early, bring water — and let go of trying to get it right.
