"This is me. I have no words to describe the incredible experience lived with KAP.
A transmission of life force energy
".
The Kundalini Activation Process (KAP)
is one of the fads among Spanish celebrities and
influencers
.
A discipline reminiscent of the New Age currents of the 70s but adapted to the times of the internet and Instagram.
Its inventor?
Venant Wong
.
An actor and martial arts teacher who decided to create the KAP in 2018. He had previously played the
samurai Morimoto in
Xena Warrior Princess
and participated in Australian television series.
Coming from the world of taekwondo and "follower of a 100% raw diet [he does not eat any cooked food] since 2007", Wong is a man who suffered a kind of spiritual awakening, as he explains to Loc Josef Ajram: "He has his own calling and realizes he
has that cartoon-like, Dragon Ball-like ability where his [martial arts] trainees notice the blow before the physical impact
, so he focuses on learning spiritual techniques for 25 years ".

Ajram refers to Wong as "master" and is one of his main supporters.
The
trader
tells how, after a first moment of skepticism, he fell in love with the KAP.
"In 2019 my wife tried it and it came home flashed. She showed me a video of our teacher and it seemed impossible for
a conscious person and without having taken anything to have that reaction
, but she is my wife and I believed her, "he says.
So Ajram set out to test the KAP.
"I contacted a facilitator [the name given to the monitors] to do a session and it was incredible.
I cried for 50 minutes
. Two years later, I play that person," he says.
But
what exactly happens
during a KAP session?
"It's a surrender like when you go to sleep," says Ajram.
"
Music is played looking for different frequencies that help to relax
and the facilitator works as a transmitter that
makes the person feel more vital, mentally clear and easy to make decisions
. It's something you do by taking off my backpacks: stress, love breakups, death of loved ones and manifests itself in the form of movement, emotion, tears, smiles or sexual release".
According to Wong's website, with KAP there is "a profound rewiring of the structure of the brain and central nervous system" in which "the facilitator
touches or presses on some of the chakras or meridian points in your body
."
"
Any sentence that has the word chakras other than 'chakras don't exist' is meaningless from a physiological or scientific point of view
. It is a sentence that attempts to use scientific concepts like the brain or nervous system that is not based on The
Kap
does not have the ability to modify the structure of your brain
, "says Fernando Cervera, biologist and spokesman for the Association to Protect the Sick from Pseudo-scientific Therapies.
"This is not therapy. We don't cure anything here," insists Ajram.
"What we do is
provide a tool so that everything adjusts naturally
. I don't cure anything for you. What I say is: you, lie down and the energy will align the things that are going wrong in your life," he adds.
However,
the official website of the KAP itself
(where the official facilitators can be seen)
flirts with the opposite idea
: "The KAP is not a substitute for medical care, diagnosis or treatment" but "
many students report physical healing early
, after one or several sessions. Although this is not guaranteed and is not the purpose of the KAP".

Ambiguity is a characteristic of pseudotherapies
. If you say one thing and the opposite at the same time, you are always right and you can cover your swords. The KAP sold as a technique with health interest is a hoax, and it can also serve as a gateway for other pseudotherapies.
KAP is one
more pseudotherapy in a sea of people who sell themselves as enlightened without having health training," says Cervera.
In this sense,
the KAP is registered as a brand of "therapeutic services"
by a lawyer from Ayala Street in Madrid at a European level.
In the registry,
a Miami (USA) company appears as the owner
whose only available information is a mailbox that can be rented for days.
The business nature of this activity covered in mysticism has given rise to
confrontations between its Spanish instructors
.
Some of them have registered their own trademarks using the word Kundalini as a claim.
"
Now everyone wants to benefit from this wave
. It's people who after two years rush to skip a reference, Wong, who's been working on this for 25 years. don't know. The facilitators know perfectly well how to act in the face of questions, take care of the session,
take care of the brand
, communication and control of the ego", protests Ajram.
At the same time, Cervera is very opposed to the practice of this activity: "
Believing in magic instead of science
can predispose people to believe in other pseudotherapies. The most sensible thing is to stay away from gurus who
promise to rewire your brain via videoconference
."
