Hey Hey!
We were so excited to share the Global Mala highlights video with you, that we sent the newsletter out a week early. Our friend Jai Zeta and his crew did a stellar job capturing the magic of this last event, and we look forward to sharing many more like this with y’all in the future.
If you were at the Mala, please use the comment feature below and give me (and everyone else in the tribe) a lil’ taste of YOUR experience — what you dug, what you’d like to see at future events, etc. It’s all welcome and SUPER helpful, so give it up!
Watch the video below, then indulge in the fully loaded, abundance- and awareness-creating Trikaya Tuesday teaching for the week. It’s worth your weight IN GOLD if you put it into action.
Take advantage of it… you’re worth it!
Good.
Now… You Ready for the Gold Nugget?
Open up, say “ahhh”, and try this mantra on for size:
“Thank You For The Lovely Contrast!”
A friend let me in on this little jewel a couple of years ago and I’ve never stopped using it.
Seriously, it works for every situation.
Sickness… Broke-ness… Pissed-off-ness… Anything.
Try it out for yourself and see what it has to offer you.
This past weekend when I was feeling that intense sensation of glass in my throat, hot breath passing through raw, tender nostrils, and an incessant urge to sneeze, I found comfort and relief every time I thought, “thank you for the lovely contrast that is giving birth to a new, strengthened desire for vitality and wellness.”
I remembered that all “negative” situations and experiences strengthen our desire for their polar opposite; that they help us define and add clarity to our vision of an improved future.
Here’s how the inner dialogue actually went:
“Okay, so it’s astonishingly clear to me NOW, in this challenging moment, that
I KNOW What I DON’T Want… So What is it that I DO Want?
And how can I stay focused on THAT?”
The second I changed my perception from the unwanted to the wanted, I catalyzed
An Immensely Powerful Shift.
In my case it was a shift from Sickness to Wellness. But the same process works whether you’re moving from:
- • broke to abundant
- • pissed off to peaceful
- • confusion to clarity
- • resentment to forgiveness
So, when you find yourself resisting anything, remember that if you discipline yourself to keep your thoughts in alignment with your newly strengthened DESIRE (ex: vitality and wellness), then those “negative” situations (ex: sickness) will actually help you magnetize an improved future.
They become the launching pad from which you’ll spring forward into your newest, most enhanced vision of your life as you NOW prefer it to be.
And this process has no end. Your life will never stop changing and evolving to match the essence of your dominant focus.
So Watch What You Give Your Focus to!
As you learn the art of allowing and release all resistance to your current situation (which I personally feel is the most valuable and beneficial skill acquired through yoga), you’ll very quickly begin to experience the results of, and LIVE, that latest, greatest version of your life.
The “lovely contrast” from yesterday was the catalyst for a better today. And now, today, you’re living exactly what yesterday’s contrast helped you choose for yourself.
If there’s anything you’ve been wanting for a long time, and it’s NOT manifesting in your life, there can be only 2 reasons:
- You stopped choosing it.
- You didn’t let it in.
Both of which often occur “on accident” because of beliefs you hold that contradict your desire (and beliefs are only thoughts that you keep thinking over and over, until they become habitual).
To sum it all up:
Love the Contrast, for it is Ushering in the New and Improved Version of Your Life, So Long as You Continue to Choose it and “Let it in”.
And just to make sure this is all sinking in, you get that resisting what-is and allowing what-can-be are mutually exclusive, right? In other words, you can’t do them both. It’s one or the other, baby. And depending on which one you’re doing, you’ll either be thrilled or TOTALLY BUMMED about your results.
But the coolest part is, all the power lies in YOUR hands.
This is the Power of Your Creative Potential, and Mastering it Will Pay You Infinite and Immeasurable Dividends.
Good stuff, eh?
There’s more. We’ll add to it in another 2 weeks. Til then… thanks for being here, and have an amazing week.
Sending out the ONE BIG LOVE and the warmest Namasté,
Kris

Kris-
I had the most amazing time at the Mala this year as I did last year. I know that those of us who attend have no idea of the work and time you guys put into throwing such an event, and in watching the highlights video, the feelings and emotions of the entire experience came flooding back to me. Thank you for bringing the San Diego yoga community together and for allowing me to make so many new friends/connections with people and organizations I wouldn’t have otherwise realized. I also dig your lesson about the lovely contrast! Thanks for that!
Good Morning!
Thank you so much for the great information…. I will be waiting for more.
Namaste.

Good day Kris!
I want to say Thank You for your call to action.
From the moment I was introduced to you and Trikaya, I was very curious. The quiz and tracker got me excited, and now I am convinced that I must fully engross myself in my passion and surround myself with people who share my excitement for life! I’ve known this for a while, and I’m slowly making it a reality. I’ve practiced yoga for a few years now, but I have let the illusion of lack of money, space or time keep me from fully committing it to my daily routine.
Four months ago I gave birth to my first child. Every day I look at his smiling face and know that I have to step up my game. That NOW is the time to change, to take a step toward freedom. Clarity. Focus. Intention. Leap of Faith. I want to live an amazing life with and for my family.
I haven’t been able to make an Awareness Event yet, but I have wanted to make it happen every time I get an email.
Keep up the good work and I will be seeing you soon (with the smile and confidence of progress)!
Gratefully,
Erica
Over the past few days I’ve really been able to put my whole attention to clearing away distractions and finding the sign posts of “oops…stop here and reassess”, which has been really wonderful. Thanks for being such catalysts! I look forward to attending more gatherings in the future.
Thank you so very much again, for the wonderful, enlightening evening!
Shanti, and many hugs!

Hello Kris- Thank you for the role you played at Global Mala. You are a inspiration through your actions So often we become caught up in the business of life to truly participate in what’s important. I and many others are grateful that you took the time to step up and be a leader in an expression of peace and community.
Thanks for the Inspiration Sista!!

Kris,
I must say that when I first met you and Kraig and had the opportunity to hear all about Trikaya I was all for it. I had taken away mainly the yoga aspect of the tribe and was fully supportive of you guys following your passion and developing such a haven for like minds. I haven’t been able to attend an event yet because I still live in salt lake city, but after reading the statement about who the trikaya tribe REALLY is I know that this is exactly what I have been searching for.
I have yet to find a community in Utah that has the same ideas about life and what can be made of it. I have truly been searching for a place with like minds who have the idea that each individual can make a difference and bring about world change. I have a passionate drive to make change in both the environmental way as well as bringing about a conscious awareness that life is everything WE make it.
I know that you plan to expand to other parts of the country and world which makes me ecstatic! I am waiting on the edge of my seat to get involved in the tribe because I feel I have a lot to contribute as well as learn from so many like minds.
Thank you for taking in my thoughts and for being so authentic. You are doing the world and so many individuals a service for bringing us together. I would love to get involved in the tribe so if you have any ideas for me I am all ears! I will be in San Diego for a week starting Thursday so I will be sending my vibrations out to the tribe and all through the beautiful city.
Namaste,
Heather
