Ukraine, we stand with you. 

Let us draw our awareness to the catastrophic events happening in real-time in Ukraine. Our team here at KINRGY steadily holds hope and possibility for their peace, for their safety, for their security, and for their humanity. 

During times of crisis, our bodies may feel as if we are walking through a swirling vortex of chaos — and it’s a lot to process. But drawing our awareness to these thoughts, feelings, and sensations is the first step in allowing them to flow through so that we may take grounded, conscious action. So before exploring how we can help during these tumultuous times, let’s lean into a short, 3 step grounding practice that you can do right now to bring a sense of calm and ease back into your body.

1. Take 3 grounding breaths in through your nose, out through your mouth.

2. Imagine roots growing out the bottoms of your feet.

3. Repeat the affirmations: I am grounded. I trust myself. I am stable. I am supported. I am patient.

Deeply exhale as you create more space within the present moment. 

Understanding how we can take the first step to help may also seem overwhelming and daunting, yet we do not want this to paralyze us into inaction. Any role in service, either for ourselves or others, is equally essential and has a conscious or unconscious ripple effect in the world. Love is our true nature and it is that very nature that will guide us to serve in our highest good. Tune into your body and connect to which might be best for YOU. 

We have collected a list of resources and support below for you to explore and share. Thank you for being here. 

If you feel called to SHARE YOUR VOICE
