Spiritual seekers who have received Assessments and Recommendations from Patanjali Kundalini Yoga Care are expected to support their process by receiving guidance through PKYC's Ongoing Kundalini Consultation Service. Through this service, consultees receive individual spiritual direction in supporting and understanding their Kundalini process as they pursue deeper spiritual development. Consultees are expected to engage in monthly follow-up consultations subsequent to the Recommendation Service for at least a year to assure the establishment of a spiritual lifestyle, the adaptation to their improved process, support during the Renovation and Restoration phase, and the attainment of a comfortable advanced process. Most individual cases will benefit from and may require longer follow-up to assure that their Renovation phase is comfortable and stable, their process continues to elevate optimally, their understanding is good, and their supportive spiritual lifestyle is well established. This individual spiritual direction may be advisable for a few years following the Initial Spiritual Guidance Retreat. There are three phases of consultation available:

Pre-Retreat Consultation Sessions are optional and are designed to provide PKYC applicants with support and an opportunity for additional follow-up to the Assessment Service while they are awaiting their Spiritual Guidance Retreat. Before meeting or calling, applicants are requested to contemplate their spiritual life and to formulate specific questions relevant to their spiritual understanding. The focus of this spiritual direction session is understanding and general support rather than specific recommendations, which are provided in the Spiritual Guidance Retreat.

The Ongoing Consultation Service is the required Support phase service for everyone who receives Recommendations from PKYC. It assures support, instruction, and guidance as consultees pursue the spiritual practices they have been given to improve their Kundalini process and as they undergo the adaptation to their recently elevated rising. While living a healthy, spiritual lifestyle, consultees are to keep a weekly checklist of compliance to their recommendations and a log describing their experiences. Then they schedule a session and e-mail, mail, or fax their report and get feedback on their process. Local consultees meet in person, and distant consultees schedule telephone sessions. In this way, aspirants receive support, increase their understanding of spiritual life and their process, and may be provided with a few revised recommendations as needed as their process proceeds. More comprehensive revisions would require a Follow-up retreat.

There are two levels of Ongoing Consultations, depending on the needs of the consultee. Most consultees follow the Maintenance schedule, which provides a monthly exchange of information and support. For those requiring closer guidance, the Intensive schedule is offered while needed, with checklists and feedback being exchanged at least twice a month. Both schedules offer the consultee regular guidance and the availability of feedback in times of special need. The frequency of sessions is determined on an as needed basis as the individual progresses. Regular consultees may also contact PKYC in times of special need or special experience. Regular contact to establish a solid spiritual direction relationship is highly encouraged.

The Follow-up Consultation Service provides as-needed check-in consultations for advanced individuals who have completed the Ongoing Consultation phase.
