The reason that kava is so good for so many people as an entry point catalyst for personal development is because you get a physiologic response that is pleasurable and kava brings on a state of comfort which is accessible and relevant to anybody. No matter where you're at in your life and whether you're seeking to get those deeper psychological effects of mind integration and the induction of empathy. You don't even know that it's happening if you're someone that's not seeking it. But whenever you drink kava regularly. What we see in populations is people tend to become more introspective, reflective, more empathetic, in many cases more intelligent because of the neuroplasticity that we believe is happening from activating different parts of the brain to communicate into a more what I call systems thinking. But you're in this state that's more systemally integrated and orchestrated to where you can look at the circumstances of your life and put them on the table and be the observer, kind of zoom out.
