INVINCIBLE LIVING: The Power of Yoga by guru Jagat

"According to current scientific theory, we waste 97% of our DNA.  Most of our DNA is essentially trash, scientists argue, because we never turn it on, or even try to use it.  These scientists honestly believe, through scientific reasoning, that we fail to tap into 97 percent of our DNA, literally 97 percent of our entire being- mind, body, and soul.  Leave it to modern science to throw out the stuff that we don't understand.  As a yogic scientist, I believe that the 97 percent of our unused DNA is actually our human potential we have yet to turn on....and that is what Kundalini Yoga does, efficiently and effectively."

I grabbed this book off the library shelf on impulse.  Life is difficult right now.  We're still mourning my mother-in-law, and my husband and father-in-law are stressed and difficult to be around.  Jake's still battling a mystery illness that leaves him constantly feeling unwell, and Katie and Nick are facing challenges at college.  Anyway, the book was appealing because the cover promises to give you tools for a 'radiant life'.

"Kundalini means energy."  I'm not sure if I have a radiant life yet, but the breathing exercises are relaxing and help me deal with stress.

The book is lovely to look at as well.  Water color washes and artistic touches give it a journal-like appearance.  The only problem that I have with the book is that every time I read a section, I feel so sleepy....
