You guys....

I have fallen deeply in love with the Radiance Sutras, a magical and profound perspective on the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra. "This body is made of earth and gold" has now become a mantra for myself and for my mediation. It is divine! The book is a yoga and mediation MUST READ! Have you read yet?

I hope you are having the best day and giving yourself love. Don't forget your body is made of earth and gold.

Enjoy the playlist below!

with love from my mat to yours,
Jacq & the Funk Fam

 Greetings from the Zen Den with this quickie reminder:

Whenever you feel inadequate or that you are not enough, please remember the magic and radiance you possess in being able to come back to the NOW. The present moment is all we have, and coming back to it guarantees us the beauty of awareness, acceptance, and attention. How cool is that?

From my magic moment to yours,
Jacq

Jacq here,

Still up in Pennsylvania and having the best time. Last night I had the pleasure and grand opportunity to lead a class at Jenkintown Hot Yoga, a GORGEOUS space to practice in the town over from where I grew up. It definitely turned into a SOUL SWEAT, as we flowed and expressed ourselves through our practice. Thank you to Elise & Stefanie for having me and I am looking forward to returning in August when I come through the area again! 

Two things, lovies: 

This was the inspiration behind yesterday's sequence, No. 60 of the Radiance Sutras (Lorin Roche, PhD):

"Rocking, undulating, swaying,
Carried by rhythm,
Cherish the streaming energy
Flooding your body
As a current of the divine.

Oh Radiant One,
Ride the waves of ecstatic motion
Into a sublime fusion
of passion and peace."

Oh I just love that little nugget of goodness.

Also, last night's playlist below!

Hola!

Writing to you from Glenside, Pennsylvania, where I am off to celebrate my cousin's graduation from High School. I wrote in Danny's card: 'Shine on you crazy diamond.' I love this because it reminds us to allow our souls to continue to be scintillating and radiant.

In fact.. an even more inspiring lyric from that Pink Floyd song is "Remember when you were young you shone like the sun." Think of how illuminated children are, a constant emanation. So let's embrace that childlike wonder, our playful selves and let's shine on. 

Enjoy your weekly playlist and have a beautiful weekend.

Greetings from the Zen Den! 

I've nicknamed the Shop at Funk the Zen Den for several reasons:

1. it just happened
2. I like it
3. It also has a great feeling inside it, lots of love here, and most people say it smells incredible. Big shout out to Wildberry Incense in Ohio for your "Sensuality" Sticks, they've been burning in here since Day 1. 

The Zen Den has been a little cozy corner of the island for me the past few weeks and will now double as a little cozy corner of our website to share our Blog. Weekly playlists, Inspiration from Kellynn Yoginita, Videos, etc. There is a lot of magic happening in our space right now and we are ready to share it with the world! 

Please enjoy the weekly playlist, follow me on Spotify, and feel free to share with your loves. 

from our Zen Den to yours,
Jacq 

"Everything in the Universe has a rhythm, everything dances" -Maya Angelou

I truly believe that we are inherently musicians, producers, artists, and dancers at birth. We are rhythm, we are sound, we are vibration. We know (without thought or consideration) how to move, to groove, to let that feeling of freedom wash over us and allow us to express. Why question it? Why doubt it? Why hide in the dark?  Below is one of my favorite playlists to practice and teach to. Roll out your mat, turn off your phone, and tune into yourself to experience YOURSELF embracing your inner rhythm.   

with love, 
Jacq
