Trauma is a label for dense low vibrational energy stored in your body, and as with all labels it has the potential to liberate, but when an identity is created from it with rigidity, it can become a self-imposed prison.

War begins when language is weaponised. Before the first shot is fired, words begin the killing—not of bodies, but of empathy, which creates a path of acceptance and normalisation for mass murder and destruction.
Collateral damage. Neutralize the threat. Surgical strike. These are not just phrases—they are psychological tricks, stripping human beings of their humanity. Children buried in rubble become acceptable losses. A family obliterated by a drone is reduced to statistics. A hospital blown up a strategic target. This is how violence is sold to the public: not as blood and screams, but as sterile abstractions.
Huxley was right. When we replace people with euphemisms, we don’t just describe war—we enable it. Language doesn’t just reflect reality; it shapes it. As cognitive linguist George Lakoff observed, "Words define our thinking far more than we realize—they frame not just how we communicate, but how we comprehend morality itself." When governments call torture enhanced interrogation, when invasions are branded liberations, they’re not just lying—they’re reprogramming our moral compass.
The danger isn’t just in the words themselves, but in what they do to us. Each sanitized term erodes our capacity for outrage. Each abstraction makes suffering easier to ignore. If we can’t name horror, we can’t resist it.
The truth is behind every casualty is a person. Behind every strategic objective is a home. Words can be weapons—but they can also be tools of resistance. Call things what they are. Refuse the lies. Because when language is corrupted, war isn’t just possible—it’s inevitable.
Language doesn’t just describe power—it is power. Choose your words wisely.
Understanding KAP, Shaktipat, and Kundalini Bodywork: A Guide to Energetic Healing and Spiritual Growth
Understanding KAP, Shaktipat, and Kundalini Bodywork: A Guide to Energetic Healing and Spiritual Growth
Kundalini energy, often described as a coiled serpent at the base of the spine, is a powerful force within us. When awakened, it can lead to profound spiritual transformation, healing, and self-realization. However, the methods to activate and work with this energy vary widely. Let’s explore the differences between Kundalini Activation Process (KAP), Shaktipat, and Kundalini Bodywork, and how each approach can support your journey.
Kundalini Activation Process (KAP)
KAP is a modern practice where a facilitator channels energy to activate Kundalini in a client. Facilitators undergo intense training to become conduits for this energy, often surrendering to a higher consciousness or lineage during sessions. The client lies down, surrendering to the energy flowing through the facilitator.
While KAP can be deeply transformative, it’s important to note that not all “Kundalini activations” are authentic. Some may involve excess chi, prana, or even foreign energetic entities, which can leave the body depleted or imbalanced. KAP works best when approached with discernment and preparation, as it focuses primarily on surrender to external energy.
Shaktipat: The Guru’s Touch
Shaktipat, a traditional practice, involves a guru transferring divine energy to a disciple, often after years of preparation. A true Shaktipat guru is rare and deeply enlightened, capable of ending your karmic cycle (if you believe in reincarnation). This profound initiation dissolves the separation between you and the divine, leaving you in a state of unity.
However, lesser forms of Shaktipat exist, and not all are beneficial. Some practitioners may unintentionally drain your energy or leave you vulnerable to negative influences. Shaktipat is a path of complete surrender, best suited for those ready to transcend worldly desires and cycles of rebirth.
Kundalini Bodywork: The Middle Path
Kundalini Bodywork bridges ancient wisdom and modern therapeutic practices, offering a holistic approach to healing and spiritual growth. Unlike KAP or Shaktipat, it emphasizes both surrender and free will, guiding you to activate your own Kundalini energy through personal development and somatic healing.
This practice integrates trauma work, nervous system regulation, breathwork, and tantric embodiment to clear blockages and align your physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies. It’s a grounded, intentional process that helps you transform dense emotions, cultivate discernment, and connect with your higher self.
Kundalini Bodywork also incorporates energy activations, but in a safe, responsible way. It teaches you to work with both ascending (Kundalini rising) and descending (higher consciousness flowing in) energies, ensuring a balanced and sustainable awakening. This approach is ideal for those seeking to heal, grow, and develop a personalized spiritual practice without relying solely on external forces.
Key Differences
KAP/Kundalini Awakening: Focuses on surrender to external energy channeled by a facilitator. It is powerful, but requires discernment, choose a facilitator who is a clean, clear vessel with strong spiritual practices, who knows how to create a container that will minimise depletion or negative experiences.
Shaktipat: A guru-initiated transfer of divine energy, often after many many years of preparation. Best for those ready to transcend worldly cycles - please note anyone who is proclaiming to offer shaktipat without dedicating many decades of their life to developing their spiritual practice, purifying their body and raising vibration, I would steer well clear of.
Kundalini Bodywork: A supported holistic, self-empowered practice that combines healing, personal development, and energy work. It’s accessible to beginners and adaptable to your unique journey.
Kundalini Bodywork is designed for modern seekers who want to heal, grow, and awaken at their own pace. It’s a middle path that honors both effort and surrender, helping you build sovereignty while connecting to higher consciousness. Whether you’re brand new or deeply connected to healing, energy work, spirituality or recovering from a challenging awakening, this practice offers tools to ground, heal, and thrive.
