Hi Sweet Friends,
Some people tie a string around their finger as a reminder. I wear a mala. Itβs my spiritual forget-me-not. A tap on the shoulder throughout the day, encouraging me to pause, breathe and come back to my deepest intentions.
They motivate me to invest in moments of self-care and compassion. So when Tiny Devotionsβ Founder, Diana Charabin emailed to ask if I wanted to design two special malas, I jumped at the chance!
Before I get to our creations, and their unique meanings, I wanted to share some background on malas with you. And since Diana is my resident mala expert, I connected with her to get the scoop on what makes malas so special and how you can use them in your everyday life.
Me: What are mala beads?
Diana: For those of you who donβt know, mala beads (also known as worry beads or prayer beads) are meditation garlands that have been worn for thousands of years in traditions of Buddhism, Hinduism, yoga and meditation. Whether or not theyβre tied to your religion is totally up to you. Mala beads are usually used for japa meditation. During japa meditation you would recite a positive affirmation or mantra along each bead. This practice can help you achieve a more calming, connected and spiritual state.
Typical garlands contain 108 beads made from gemstones, wood or Rudruksha seeds that match your intention or affirmation. Malas love attention, so placing them around your neck, on your altar or running them through your fingertips daily, keeps them (and you!) vibrationally tuned. Theyβre a constant reminder that you are not alone, that you are powerful, complete and that everything is possible.
Me: How do I set an intention?
Diana: Setting an intention is important to align your beads with purpose and ground you for success. One common blockage Iβve seen people struggle with when choosing mala beads is figuring out what their dream or intention should be.
When in doubt, ask yourself :
- What do I want?
- If you cannot answer this, ask yourself: What do I not want?
Once youβve narrowed it down, infusing your beads is as simple as focusing on your intention with beads in hand. Whenever you stray or waiver, simply pick up your mala and take a moment or two to realign with your desire.
Thanks, Diana!
Whatβs the story behind the Crazy Sexy Malas?
In order to design my one-of-a-kind mala beads for you, I spent a lot of time thinking about the intentions that guide me each day. The combination of stones I picked aligned with the principles that have supported me most during my Crazy Sexy journey.
I am resilient (turquoise)
The intention behind this mala is to nurture your innate ability to heal and thrive. It was designed to be a reminder that you are your own best friend and have strength beyond measure. We get bumped, bruised and tossed around a lot as life navigators. This mala is meant to be a touchstone during those timesβitβs available to cheer you on and to remind you that you have a vast well of inner resources!
Stone meanings:
- Turquoise represents healing & protection
- Black Onyx represents strength
- Rose Quartz represent love
I am love (fuschia)
The intention behind this mala is to reinforce the sacred practice of loving and caring for yourself so that you can be the person youβre meant to be in the world. This mala was designed to center and calm you when youβre feeling unbalanced or overwhelmed. And it was crafted to ground you in the infinite power of the love that comes from within.
Stone meanings:
- Freshwater Pearl enables one to accept love & assists in self-love
- Fuchsia Jade represents health, wealth, longevity, harmony & balance
- Turquoise represents healing & protection
Peace & intention,
During meditation or prayer, it is fundamentally important to both clear your mind and also maintain absolute focus. The mala beads are primarily meant to achieve both simultaneously. I know MALA BEADS they are known for providing high energy with beautiful stones of mala.
Mala Beads are quite important things in most of the Asian religions, like Buddhism, various tradition of Buddhism.
Yes,each mala beads has its own intention. My intention is healthy and happy.
Thank you for sharing.
Best!
I am one of the mala bead winners; I chose turquoise, which I love as well as for its healing qualities. I regard my winning this as a sign from ‘somewhere.’ I look forward to wearing the necklace with hope about thinking and acting positively. Thank you so much!
My intention is to be present, fully and completely! To not keep looking at the future but to appreciate where I am right here right now!
My intention for today is to be grateful for everything that I have, especially my three beautiful boys and magnificient husband.

I feel the malas are just as you say, a great tool to keep us in check. They are beautiful and I have been looking for such a thing to help me through this time of my life. One of my intentions for today is to give power to peace instead of fear.

My intention today will be to think of others before myself!
Live fearlessly, just for today…..and take another step closer to healing my back and leg…letting go my limiting beliefs and behaviors.
I’m a perfectionist and have a type-A personality, so today I intend to do what I can, without stressing myself out over small details. When I’ve done all I can do, regardless of whether it’s “perfect” or not, I’m going to move forward, and focus my energy on something else that needs accomplishing.

Love you, love your FB page, and LOVE your mala designs, Kris!

I love the Mala beads and the traditions. They remind me of the rosary (I was raised Catholic). At a very young age, I learned to pry the rosary with intention – for the healing of ill friends and family, for world peace, for the poor, for the betterment of myself, for just about everything. So still today, daily intentions (prayers) are in my heart. For love and peace, for the betterment and improvement for the lives of all of God’s creatures…for simple pure joy and bliss.
My one intention today is the same as it is everyday…try to be more at peace! More at peace with my health, my family, my friends, my surroundings and the world as a whole! You’re a great inspiration! Thanks!! xoxo…big love from Austin, Texas

As a psychologist at work: For this day may I connect with and assist others in ending their suffering. For this day may I connect through my heart to myself and others.

My one intention for the day would be to “be patience”. With my pup going blind, patience is number one for intention-the love is already there π
To accept myself and spread more love
To surround myself with those who will support the person I ultimately want to be.
I read Kris’s newletter/blog at work as soon as I open my e-mail. It helps me get myself more centered for the day. I’ve been battling anxiety and I guess a slighter case of depression, with medications on an “as needed” basis. I try to get along without them, just because I come from a past of family addictions- my mom to alcohol and brother to drugs through high school, college and into adulthood. My son and daughter in law, gave me a yoga mat this past Christmas, which I have yet to put to use. The intention for that is there, but my husband and I own a small business, where there isn’t much in the way of “me time”. I could certainly use health, harmony and balance in my life! I know that so much is brain-related, so am working fervently to focus on the positives, My attention span seems to elude me more than it used to and I’d like to get that back into place.
I will stay focused on my objective in the moment.
To be here now, even if that is no more than sheer bone and skin and vibration. To put aside the chocolate-chip banana bread which does not serve me and lasts only for a moment of bliss on the tongue and then the painful awareness of that dissatisfying sugar rush…the intent to BE and care for what I have been given. Thank you, Kris Carr for helping us wake.
I intend to be around to rock my grand baby (my daughter is almost seven so I need to be around for a long time)
I absolutely Love your thoughts and intentions above!
Now to share……The intention I set for myself today was to stop fighting against myself and to remain clear, focused and to conquer the day. There are times when my own self or should I say ego mind, gets in my way or slows me down. Today I needed a reminder to step away and recognize where my focus would serve me best, to let go of those things that don’t and to jump into the day with that clear energy. That was my intention today and I will say it held true! I am wrapping up my day and I feel fulfilled and calm as I conclude this busy day!
I intent to treat myself to yearly yoga, meditation retreat centers such as Kripalu.
Now in remission from cancer, my intention is this: to switch my mind-set from being sick person striving to get well to being a well person striving to stay well.

to take more action
One intention I can set today is play with my furry siblings.
My one intention for today (and almost every day it seems like!!) would be to give myself a break and love myself. I am often too hard on myself when I think about my illness (juvenile dermatomyositis) and I somehow feel that I am not good enough. And I wonder, who is setting these rules?! And when I really think about it…I am. I’m the one setting these unattainable rules for myself. No one else is.
But, why? I blame perfection and being a Virgo (whoops!). I am too hard on my inner being and I just need to hug and love myself more often. Every minute of every day! As we all do :).
Thank you Kris for all that you do. Whenever I am in need of this reality check and some self love, I read your Facebook, IG, and blog … and you help me feel that love for myself once again. So, I know it’s there! and thank you for that!!! You are my inspiration and guru!

My intention at this time in my life is to let my inner punk rocker out to play…my gut is telling me that she’s got the moxie to find the way into and through the dark. After all these years I suspect she’s the one who’s been standing the strongest ground. I think it’s time to get to know her better…
p.s.-If you read this Kris, so much love to you and I hope that the pixie dust I sent you years ago still works its magic for ya! π

Hi Kris,
You are such an inspiration to so many! Thank you for taking care of yourself and giving the world the gift of YOU! π
I am at the beginning of my journey. I guess you can say I am in the educational phase, watching videos such as Hungry for Change, Forks Over Knives, etc. is the way I am educating myself to begin to take care of ME.
I have been a single mom for the past ten years working and going to school to try to change my career in accounting to become a Social Worker. Working and going to school has been my top priority, which meant fast food meals on the go constantly, sugary coffees for late-night cramming, not enough sleep and little to no exercise at my sedentary job. My health has suffered a crisis because of my misplaced intentions, and my weight ballooned to over 300 pounds. I am now borderline type 2 diabetic, have tendonitis in both achilles heels, which makes it impossible to walk for long periods of time (over 20 minutes or so). I am also addicted now to prescription pain medication prescribed because of the constant aches and pains plus the slipped disk in my back. I am also addicted to coffees, cigarettes, and fast food.
I finally said enough is enough. I’m going to learn how to heal my body and mind. This is my second week of “adding in” plant based foods. I also purchased a NutriBullet so that I can start taking my superfood medicine every day. Slowly I am moving away from meat-laden, typical American fare and incorporating whole plant foods into my routine instead. It has been easier than I thought, since the plant-based foods make me feel great, and they are delicious as well. Yesterday is the first day that I am off coffee in the morning, and also that bacon, egg, and cheese buscuit from the fast food restaurant that I was addicted to for the last three years. Oddly, I don’t miss it that much.
I would use the “resilience” mala beads to remind myself every day that it is a journey, and one that will take a significant amount of time. I would use them to remind myself that I am worth the effort and that healing begins with loving myself.
Anita
go you! thank you for sharing π
I am resilient intention: Every morning when I wake up, I will feel and accept the pain. I will take a deep breath, be grateful, and find the strength to start my day. I will use Yoga to empower me both physically and mentally, because rheumatoid arthritis is not me. I am me.

One intention is to find peace and balance through wellness.
One intention I can set today is to accept myself, and to remember that becoming, healthy, stronger, and more authentically Me is something I deserve. As someone who is sick and tired of being sick and tired, I gave up, in a lot of ways when my mother died of breast cancer in 2009.
Now, I am becoming vegan, have decided to write to make myself happy, and give out love by rescuing animals, just as my fur babies have rescued me many times in the last few years.
The other day I bought Crazy Sexy Kitchen as a preventative against my own possibility of breast cancer, and it sparked something in me. I want to clean up my life, my home, and my act.
Thanks, Kris. I appreciate the help. My father lives in Upstate NY, and I ‘d love the chance to hang with you and yours someday. Would love to create some kitchen magic with you!
Love, joy and blessings to you and your badass healthy-‘tude!

Today I will be patient with myself and others giving time for healing and growing!
One intention for today is to be healthy!
To treat myself with love and compassion (so I can treat others the same).
My one intention that I could set for today would be: I am love.
I tend to get stressed easily, and have the habit of carrying stress (and other people’s stress) on my shoulders, even though it isn’t something I intentionally do. It causes me to tense, to become grumpy, overwhelmed and stressed because in the end, I feel like I cannot do enough.
I am love is an intention that I AM practicing today π I am heading out shortly for a massage followed by some pampering time at home. I am having “mental showers” throughout the day now by taking breaks to breath deeply and repeat positive affirmations, I am doing what I can to spread some love and joy to others. Above all, I am loving myself. It’s a slow process, but one that is so worth the time and effort it takes. The last few days of “I am love” have been changing my outlook. I just need to keep it up!
My intention most days is for the world and is written by a special woman, Amma. ‘lokah samastha sukhino bhavanthu’ which means May all beings in all the worlds be happy. I set this intention everyday.
Om namah shivaya!
Hannah xx

This April my friends, family, and community have been celebrating “Goddess Month” (#goddessmonth on instagram), a month dedicated to the wellness principles of: adventuring, nourishing, thriving, and being. My intention is to continue that message and inspire positivity and love within myself and others.

My intention is to be the example of health and spirit and grace to my beautiful 10 year baby girl! So that she proceeds into life with unwavering faith and love!

Just smile a little more
My intention is to do something everyday that feels good. I’ve been feeling quite blue recently, and I started the Brene Brown/Oprah course and one of the tasks is to play for 15 min a day. Its extraordinary how hard it was to think of things I do that don’t serve another perpose but are just joyful to me.
My intention is: Always come from a place of love.
My intention for today is to breathe and be present. It’s a constant struggle to not get caught up and distracted from the moment of being alive and grateful for it. There’s always easy ways to forget that, work, relationships, news, little frustrations, stress over not meeting a deadline, etc… So my intention for today is to STOP, breaaaaathe…. and then just be present in the moment as much as possible, and put a smile on my face while tuning into that moment.
My intention for today is to worry less about the future and focus on giving my energy to the tasks at hand. In doing these with love – even the annoying and hard ones, or maybe especially the annoying and hard ones! – I can have a sense of satisfaction and peace today. As a bonus, these small steps will move me closer to the future I want!
“I am worthy. I am good enough.”
Today I intend to let it all go and forgive.

Thank you. Namaste

My intention is inspired by a quote which i believe is attributed to Hafiz; “for i have learned that every heart will get what it prays for most.” i didnt really grasp the full meaning of this quote until i realized that my life is one long giant prayer and also the answer to that prayer; every thought, action and word. And when I die and that prayer is released the sum of its manifestations will be felt by those who come after me.
I now step into my true power as Co-Creator of my life by becoming aware of and taking full responsibility for my thoughts, actions and words. I now release all negativity, desire to blame, and the shadow victim. I now choose to respond to myself and life from the space of compassion and understanding.
My intention today is to live and love more in the moment, focusing on the blessings I’ve been given, unplug more and become less consumed by what I think I need when I know I may already have everything I truly do. Thank you for being a constant inspiration and guide to true health and happiness!
My intention for today is to remember. To remember our true nature is light, is love. To come back home to that light. And to live in gratitude that it is our truth, all of ours.
My intention today is to make choices and decisions today toward my goal of vibrancy.
Today, I intend to create space. To let go of any and everything that no longer serves me; to shed some weight from my chest. Full-heartedly, I intend to sculpt away at inhibition and insecurity for the light of my soul to shine through as the beautiful work of art my spirit embodies. In shedding this, I create space for love, beauty, positivity and health to be magnetized into my life.
I’ve enjoyed your posts for a long while, Kris! Thank you for sharing your love and wisdom with the world. And thank you Tiny Devotions for your light and business in creating more intention based lives. I promise, both of your works are making the world a more beautiful, happy and healthier place (because of your impact in my life.)
Much love, Namaste! xx

My intention today: Embrace wellness.
I need to learn more on how to live “well” and not focus on the numbers on the scale.
There are so many well-stated intentions here that I want to align myself with all of them, so I’ll just say “om, amen, peace.”
To forgive myself for yesterday π
Acceptance !
To leave the people I come in contact with feeling better than when we met.
My intention today and every day is to be kind to ME . . .
My intention is to be the most authentic version of myself possible today.
My intention would be forgiveness.
Do something for someone…be compassionate.
My intention today is to just breathe….before the day’s stressors and frustrations have time to build into negative thoughts/actions, just breathe. (I already like you on Facebook and am a subscriber, as well π
My intention today is to observe all that unfolds with humor and balance, no freaking out allowed. I’ll do my homework (mindfulness class–yoga and meditation for homework, yay), and allow the sun to shine on my face, this always helps me find balance. : )
Love you long time, Kris–you helped me through my own cancer journey last year, and I’m forever grateful for your optimism and sunny disposition. I’ve been your FB pal for ages and get your newsletter as well. thanks! <3
My intention that I seek to set is to do everything with passion. I watched a Marie Forleo video that talked about passion not being something that one can find outside of oneself, in the sense that if you think about it enough, it will reach you in some magical way. Instead, passion comes from within us. We must act in life with passion. Of course, we are human, and will not want to always give in to passion… it can be so much easier to give in to the ‘woes me attitude or sadness in midst of a crisis. But to become aware of the negative thinking and allow passion to course through the present moment seems like a much better way to live. So living with passion is the intention I seek to set. Thank you Kris, for all that you do.
My intention is to practice patience, every day life is filled with obstacles, traffic, dealing with strangers, long lines at the grocery market etc…and to realize that everyone is doing the best they can. I’m in sales and I meet new people everyday, that is my challenge and my gift. It’s amazing how a person can be in a bad mood, or sad, and all it takes is someone to have the patience and be kind, to let them know they have value, and watch them change right before your eyes, it touches me every time.
I intend to be confident in my abilities and plans. I can do this!
My intention is to stay positive and practice compassion with myself and others. So grateful for your presence Kris!
My intention for today: I will approach the tasks ahead of me with calm, strength and focus.
My intention today is to have patience, kindness and love for my husband who has Alzheimers and sometimes its hard to deal with.
My intention today (and every day for quite some time now) is to find happiness and harmony in every thing I do. I know happiness is not something I will (permanently) find outside of myself, yet I find it to be a daily struggle to find it within myself alone. I certainly have things in my life that bring me happiness (my boyfriend, traveling, animals, baking), but there are also things that make me very unhappy (my job, and a general feeling of being lost in life). Without those happy outside factors, I find myself back with the unhappiness I began with. I loved your article about knowing that I am not broken, because so so often that is how I feel. So, today and everyday, my intention is to find happiness and harmony in my life.
My intention today is to be thankful
My intention for today is to stand solidly in my truth.
My fabulous and intentional intention of all that is intended today (yes, it had to be said) will be to RESET MY PRESET. I saw this on a billboard for a radio station this morning – and although the message was for marketing the station, I took it another way and decided to adopt it as my new mantra. Then I saw these beads and felt it to be kismet! I tend to let downfalls of past days dictate today’s confidence in my ability to embrace change. So I choose to reset that preset! Bad habits of yesterday do not define me today. Clean slate π
Thank you for your contribution to the world. Your husband commented on one of my funny Instagram photos a few weeks ago and it made my whole day! I adore your cute family.
Peace and broccoli,
Danielle
My intention for today
Accept what is happening with grace
My intention would be to breathe deeply, stay calm, stay POSITIVE and keep in mind that I cannot control my surroundings – but that I can control the way I am affected by them. This has been a long year of divorce and loss of loved ones with a lot of self discovery and empowerment mixed in. Nutrition and wellness has allowed me to become thoroughly re-energized and make more of a positive impact than I could have EVER thought possible.
Kris- Thank you for all the time you put into sharing your incredible journey! You are such an inspiration!
Take time for creativity today!
My intended wish is to inspire women to awaken to the possibility of creating an enchanted life through my work, The Enchanted Journey! You, Kris, are the embodiment of enchantment, an Enchantress in your own right. You are a gift to the world.
Today I’m being kind to myself.
My intention is to learn how to find my center and to calm myself during anxious times. To believe that I am beautiful and strong, and know that all is well.
intention: I am grateful I have turned my belief of being damaged into a belief of being powerful, fully desirable, and absolutely lovable.
Beautiful post. I also love Tiny Devotions!
Whatβs one intention I could set today?
To focus on leaving spaces better than I find them.
These could be anything from a physical or energetic space, to a conversation, to my own mind and thoughts I hold.
My intention is live life more passionately and align with my true purpose.
I intend to walk through this day with an open heart and an open mind. Bless you and your pups, Kris!
My intention is to have more faith in myself and what I am capable of taking on whatever challenge come my way. I want to have more faith that I can be happy, healthy and strong.
My intention today is: Trust & Thanksgiving. Trusting that I am here for a reason and being thankful for the many blessings in my life. Thank you Kris for your inspiration! I already subscribe to your FB page & get emails. I love your messages π
My intention today is to send Love & Peace to each person I see.
My intention today is to stay calm, strong and loving myself and my two little daughters which are my pressure gemstones. I want to be such an inspiration to them as you are to me. Thank you.
The one Intention I can set today is to Love Myself Completely and unconditionally.
Today my intention is to slow down and appreciate the beauty that is all around me. You are awesome! Keep up the good work π
Lots of Love,
Ontario, Canada
My intention today is to be open & ready for new beginnings, and to step into those new beginnings with positivity & purpose in my heart!
My intention is to focus on finding joy in alone time. My fiance is a musician and travels a lot and usually when he is gone I get really bummed out and spend a lot of time by myself but focus on being lonely. When he’s in town I love that alone time because it’s my most productive time, but I struggle with it when he travels. So I’d love to use a mala to help remind myself that this alone time is a gift to focus on myself and getting the work done that I care about.
My one intention today is to bring happiness to the people around me today. To be mindful of what I say and how I act, so that I may bring nothing but joy to the people around me.
Thank-You,
Ami
Chin, Alberta, Canada
My intention for today is to be present with my family. Put all of the distractions away and connect. Thank you! The beads are beautiful!
I set my intention for healthier eating.
Hi Kris and my fellow Crazy Sexy Lifers,
Since today is almost over, I’m going to get a jump on tomorrow and set the intention of loving my belly no matter how it feels. I’ve been struggling with digestive issues for over a year now and lately I’ve been really angry with my body for “betraying” me in this way. So today I took control and searched out some support and tomorrow I’m just going to be kind and care for my tummy as best I can.
Love to you all,
Tanya
p.s Facebook and newsletter subscriptions are go!
My intention for today is to stay devoted and present with my daughter during playtime today!
My intention is to add loving selfless service to others into my daily life
Today, I am good at what I do.
My intention today is to be present and focused on how good I feel, not judging myself on how (I think) I look. And to smile at everyone! It feels good!
My intention today would be to accept everything & everyone exactly as is…
xo
My one intention today is to have faith that I can continue to be strong enough to help mom through her sickness.
I set a new intention for the week: Fear has no place in my life. I render fear powerless.
My intention for today is my biggest struggle every day: focus.
My intention is to not resist what is out of my control and to accept what is in my path as an experience that I can navigate through with peace and calm.
These Mala’s are so beautiful! My intention for today is “Peace Begins With Me”. It helps me clam down, drop the stress and anxiety that I seem to carry around with me far to often. It allows me to tune back into JOY!
Hi!
Though the calendar reads “Spring!” the real-time conditions here in Northeast Wisconsin are not so.
But instead of looking inward, today I could remind others what Theodore Roethke said:
“Deep in their roots, all flowers keep the light.”
My intention: to breathe. Thank you Kris!
To have faith in the universe that I will be well.
My intention is to be more patient with my children.
One intention for today and everyday: trust
My intention is to just let it go! I’ve been struggling with this for for over ten years and it doesn’t help my health issues at all. I need to do this for myself, to take care of me!
My one intention today would be to get a little slower.
I am Peace, I am Love , I am Happy.
I felt drawn to respond. The above it my intention/mantra/affirmation that I use in difficult times. I had just been using it that day and there it was in bold pink popping out at me when reading your blog. Looove iiit!

R
I am Peace, I am Love, I am Happy

Kris – much love and congrats on your new creative project…FUN!
Today I will make everyone I encounter feel validated. This means I will have to listen to more than just their words, and acknowledge more than just the parts of themselves they know they can share. This also means I will have to honor myself just as much as I honor them.
My intention is to reach for living a clean life.
My intention is to be present in the moment and to know that where I am is where I need to be.
My intention for today is to not let the negativity of others dull my spirit or keep me from smiling and enjoying the gift of the present time. I want to breath and find happiness in the day no matter what is going on around me. Thank you for spreading such positive and healthy messages! I would love to wear mala beads as a reminder that my life is what I make it and I can choose happiness! π (Already liked your fb page and am a member of your email subscription!) Namaste

My intention is to release fear. Namaste
Raquel
I know I am resilient because I keep picking myself up and dusting myself off after repeated failures. My intention is to LOVE myself, to quit negative self-talk, and show more appreciation for all that I am and all that I have.
Thank you Kris for all that you do to make each of us better in mind, body, and spirit.
Love from Texas
I have so many intentions — perhaps that is what is burdening me. So, for today, my intention will be to have just one intention: be present.
I intend to be cured.
To be grateful for all I have and have a purpose for all I do.
My intention is to let go of the negative and focus on the love in and around me.
Taking notice of the extraordinary ordinary moments – doing Sunday chores such as laundry and dishes with care and mindfulness and keeping a smile all the way through π

My inention swirls around Self Love–a real toughie for me. I need to remember to show myself the same care, kindness, compassion that I strive to show others each day. I am getting better at showing others, but I just can’t seem to get it together for myself. I adore the “I am Love” mala. Thank you for creating these! xoxo
My intention is to live in the moment not in the past. Try to put fear behind me and look forward to
my future with hope. Thank you for you are truly amazing.
Peace and Love Tammy

Have a bright day!
Everything is perfect in my world
To love and accept myself where I am right now.
My intention is to love more.
My intention for today is to be completely present and not worry about what has to get done tomorrow. I already get your newsletter and liked your Facebook page. As a fellow cancer survivor thank you for inspiring me to continue to help other cancer survivors in their journey to heal. I resonated a lot with the intention behind the turquoise mala because it definitely takes resilience to not allow the twists and turns in life get in our way when going for our dreams. Thank you for sharing this with us!
My intention today is to have patience…. wish me luck?
My intention today is To slow down.
I’m new to the idea of the mala beads, but I’m very intrigued. Can you recommend a place to purchase a set for anyone that doesn’t win your amazing give away? Thanks!
My intention is to not be so hard on myself, and work on self-love!
My intuition is to ground myself and remember to practice mindfulness.
I intend to not get in my own way!
(One extra I love)
I intend to BE JOY!

my intentions usually take the form of a question to leave it wide open for the universe to deliver : ) What can I be or do today to create a happier planet and a happier me right away? : )
My intention for the day is to not put anything out into the world that I wouldn’t want to receive back. I intend to only send out positive energy, love, and light so that it may spread and reach those I meet.
In the words of Miss Stevie Nicks– –
“I have no fear, I have only love”
My intention is, always, to never allow fear to hold me back and to LOVE LOVE LOVE with all my heart, in all I do.
Thank you, Kris. XO
My intention for today would definitely be to make self care a priority. After spending the past few weeks in training to become a yoga instructor, I have felt incredibly fulfilled by my busy schedule but also caught a nasty head cold. It’s all about balance, even when you’re doing what you love. And what better way to celebrate my graduation than with my very own mala beads? π
To be calm and let it go.
Amen!
My intention is to honor & respect others by being on time for appointments of any type. This has been a lifelong issue for me & I now realize when I am late I am unconsciously saying to other person: you are not important enough for me to show up & tend to your needs.
My intention is to pray for the sick and to listen with open mind and heart.
Hello!
I already receive your newsletter and am a FB liker! One intention? Can I copy Kimberly’s below? Because that is exactly what I am working on right now. Otherwise, overall, my intention would be compassion with myself. I have no problem giving compassion to the Earth and animals, but I am not so compassionate with myself.
The Mala is beautiful!
Thanks!
These are my two FAVORITE colors Kris! It is great to read about the meaning behind them. My intention for today would be to stay present in the moment and let go and feel joy. Are these available to purchase anywhere?
My intention is to react with love and not with fear.
To love, honor and cherish myself no matter what and bless any situation with love even the challenging ones!
My intention for today: feel connected.
Intention for today is to HEAL. I have been juicing through out the day with a green smoothie for breakfast. I have been eating a vegetarian lifestyle since Jan, 21, 2014, and loving it, feel better and lost 22 lbs. however i got gout in my dominant hand last week, so I don’t no if it is from detox or from eating a lot of tofu, beans, or spinach or getting older. :). I am not giving up this life style. You are such a wonderful person and I admire your attitude.
Thank you.
I would set an intention to stay in the flow with my family and create and generate new financial opportunities!
I am brave enough to choose happiness.
For today, go slowly and with care
Go slowly today
Intention for today: Being grateful <3

I’m seeking balance fortitude with my desire to seek good health and strength. Fuschia is my stone! Great article, Kris. Thank you!

Mt intention today is to be there for others. I have a few friends going through some very hard times right now, and I need to be there for support, help, hugs, whatever they need.

My intention is to not let stress about my health challenges get me down.
My intention for today is to “let it go” and not feel responsible for everyone else’s needs

My one deepest intention is to have the attitude of gratitude always. Thank you!
Today I will say, “Thank you!” for every purr of my cats, every person who smiles back at me, every juicy fruit & veggie I eat and drink & every memory that gives me a heart rub….
My intention is to let go of any negative thoughts. And to recreate into positive thoughts. Mental healing.
My intention is to focus on all of the positive things in life and not sweat (and over think!) the small things.

My intention is to try to always choose compassion. π So simple and such a teacher!
My intention for today: Be present, be mindful, be here.
I’ve been working with Gabby Bernstein’s materials and I’m working through a lot of different things – I’m hoping to find some more tools to help me be PRESENT rather than looking backwards or forward.
I have already liked your FB and have the newsletter π Thank you for everything <3
<3
One intention I will set today is to be present in the knowing that these are the glory days I will one day look back upon fondly (as will those days).
Intention: Pause and breathe.
To be fully present at work so I can see each patient as an individual deserving my time and respect.
My intention is to take care of myself.
My intention is to make my life into a statement of compassion, by shining the love that I know flows through me into my divine spirit with everything and everyone across in my universe. This is my dream, and I wished strive for it until my final breath.
My one intention is to live a life of love and health
My intention today is to stay strong and fearless, knowing that the universe takes care of each and everyone of us.
I already receive your newsletter, thank you.

My one intention is to accept things that I can not change and embrace the ones that I can.
I already liked you on Facebook and get your e-mails I enjoy reading both! Your amazingly strong and courageous women thanks for all you do.
My intention is to stay calm and poised during periods of stress and pressure. I have the intention to use nourishing, healthy food and positive, nurturing thoughts to fuel me on my life journey. I love these mala beads!! So beautiful.
My intention is to nurture myself and to let my own unique light shine
My one intention today is not to give up. To try to not focus on the past and know there is always hope.
As an energy healer, I work with intentions daily. I have a special place I put my intentions so I can work with them to manifest abundance in my life. One I’ve been working on recently with a few personal deities is the idea of allowing myself to stand in my power and allow my innate and abundant power to shine through effortlessly and unapologetically. Too often society demands that we hide our immeasurable inner strength and power so as not to make others uncomfortable or unhappy. Society teaches us that we are responsible if others feel inadequate, so we are charged with hiding our strength and diluting our power. As my deities BilΓ© and Denu told me “You are innately and infinitely powerful. It is your divine calling and sacred duty to be powerful and to embody that power.” Because of our cultural conditioning (especially as a woman), I must constantly remind myself of this and train myself to be the strong and divinely powerful being I was intended to be. Only by standing fully in my power in this present moment can I embrace self and be whole.
My Mala intention is to be CONTINUALLY conscious of the immeasurable value of friends and family’s support and love. I have been on the receiving end of this today, as I went through a scary procedure to remove skin CA on my face, and I feel healed already by the outpouring of their love and encouragement. A great reminder of the fact that loving and caring for one another is what life’s all about
My intention is to take care of myself today by brushing my teeth. Before you scoff at my intention, please consider that I’m a new mom and even five minutes of self care is a big deal! Thanks for all of the inspiration Kris!
My intention today is to BE! I want to be in the present moment while spending times with my kids….not be thinking of my to-so list!! Thanks for being who you are; you are such an inspiration! xoxo…more love from Nova Scotia, Canada!!! π
Find balance in my life. Balance of work and personal life.
My intentions, every day, are peace, love, and understanding.
Namaste
My intention is to lighten up physically and emotionally, and improve my health and energy
My Intention: For the world to love one another and love yourself.
I wrote this poem today. Our generation and world needs a Love Revolution!
Revolutionary Bliss
By Jenna-Rose Hannah
Thereβs something so serene
About the morning time
Nature,
Earth,
Birds chirping
And open minds.
But, what about the rest of the day?
Smog,
Chaos,
Others get carried away.
Why canβt this still bliss
Bless each and every path
At the height of the sunβs rising
And hours after that?
For midnight and sunrise
Are the only peaceful hours I hear.
Instead of mellow moments
In everyoneβs atmosphere.
What if all nerves eased
And people dared to un-see
Each otherβs differences?
Will this world ever appear?
Love othersβ bruises
Instead of beating them in?
To see the black and blues
Deeper?
βIβll just let their scars cover up mine
β¦But that will never do,
For those scars creep up on me
All the timeβ.
And, yes, I know itβs difficult
And troubles face your every corner
But does 5 minutes of warmth
Hurt your soul?
Or make your troubles leave any sooner?
So the answer is love
And only the bottomless kind.
For youβll see that loving another
Is embracing yourself
And making your essence
Feel at rest.
With every negative comment
You retract with a positive one.
That is the message I am preaching
To each and every one
So hereβs my mission to you
Letβs revolutionize this new Internet youth
To begin typing about love and journeys
And that friendly face that saved you
Even if only for a moment
For these are the stories we should be hearing
So make a pledge with me today
And let love run its course
For this is what we all deserve.
Take a step forward.
It is now your turn.
I hope you enjoyed it! Thank you Kris.
Wow! My intention is to each make a positive difference in the life of one or more people each and every single day!
My intention today is to be more compassionate to everyone, including myself.
Be more grateful for all that I have.
One intention for today is to stand firmly in my own power– with strength enough to be heard.
Today, I intend to take time for meditation – not just sometimes (like it’s been) but some EVERY day!
My intention is to be fully present in every moment and live every minute of my life in the state of gratitude, mindfulness and peace while spreading the message of health, love, light and joy to the amazing world around me.
my one intention today is to love myself and to do the best that I can.
My intention for today is to forgive myself and start healing from the inside out.
my intention is to live my truth and never doubt intuition <3
Choose love over fear.
I do not want to fill my body and life with toxins. I want a joyous, healthy life!
My one intention I could set today is to stay with what I know is true for me when there are distractions around me that would make me forget about myself.
Be open to give and receive love.
My intention today is to remember to breath and feel my inner peace.
I set the clear intention to release all that does not serve my Highest, and embrace fully and with complete understanding, all that is in alignment with my Divine Purpose.
My intention for today and everyday is to practice loving and accepting myself fully.
Cancer is teaching me to LOVE myself like others love me. So my intention would be LOVE all the way to the moon and back!
My intention today is to seek God’s help in providing me the strength and resources by virtue of which I could be able to make positive changes in the lives of all suffering people around me irrespective of their religion, cast or creed, only to be a human being.
I love your teachings and have applied those on myself and on my family and am able to see the positive changes and the smile you bring on our faces.
The Malas are beautiful. I wish I could get one for my wife to help her smile.
My intention today is to find the time to be still and listen.
Just finished teaching a health lesson on Resiliency today to my high school students. We incorporate the Oprah show (10//2007)featuring you and Dr. Randy Pausch. Inspirational!!!
My intention: to be authentic and brave today
My intention for today is to not be fearful of what I can not control.
Wow, cool giveaway, thanks! My intention for today (and all days) would be: to be less judgmental, of myself and others. It’s hard sometimes.
Thanks,
Tasha
Hi Kris, there was a typo in my first posting with my website address, so I’m reposting.
My one intention would be to cultivate a broader awareness of how yoga is for any ‘body’. I teach free yoga for MS as well as classes exclusively for MS and anyone living with an invisible chronic illness, I have MS and yoga is why I CAN, I really want to shift the perspective of the yoga world to teach yoga in a welcoming safe environment that even those who think they can’t, will feel welcome and safe in a public class and find out how much they can. Love your Malas and your message. Namaste Lisa
My intention for today is to Listen with an open mind.

The intention to be a stronger, and more positive human being so I can be beautiful from the inside out π
An intention that I need to set today is one of strength. Strength to do battle with looming anxiety. Strength to do a quality job raising my pre-teen and teenage daughters, and strength to stay positive and grounded after my husband’s brain tumor diagnosis a few weeks ago. Thankfully all signs point to it being benign, and not an emergent situation, but still, it weighs heavily on me, a person who appears strong to everyone, but really am flimsily held together with green juice, red wine, walnuts and tennis. You know that commercial, “Never let them see you sweat”? That’s me, only I’m sweating like crazy on the inside and for some reason I’m afraid to be vulnerable with the people in my life. So strength is the intention of the day. Tomorrow, too, and likely to infinity and beyond. π

My intention is to entrust my children and grandchildren to the angels.
I have recently reached a place in my life as a mother of two, and in a new stage of motherhood, where I fully understand the saying, “you must take care and love yourself in order to become your full beautiful bright self. Then you are able to give to others and to the world.”
I recently made the affirmation “I will focus on me and loving myself” which may seem small but is a HUGE step for me since I tend to give so much to my kids and leave me last on the list.
I do not have a Facebook account, sorry π
And I already receive the newsletter! Thank you for all your inspiration π :-). <3
