Winning against Odds
Angie Pikshus had every reason to decide life had dealt her an unfair hand. Her
mother died when she was still a baby. She never really knew her father or a
peaceful security of a stable home; instead she was moved from foster home to
foster home. When she was in the eighth grade, she was moved to Arkansas to live
with some relatives. Angie was an orphan, was twenty pounds overweight ( hence,
growing out of her clothes), and now on top it off, she was moving away from her
friends.
Angie had ample reasons to feel cheated, but she decided to do something
about her situation. She decided she needed to lose weight, so she began running
strictly for exercise, to burn off the excess weight. The more she ran, the
more she enjoyed and applied herself to task. She began to train and
began entering races.
She won three marathons and several ten kilometer races. She won the New Orleans
Mardi Gras Marathon twice, the Memphis Express Marathon, and the Atlanta Avon
10-K, among other events.
She excelled in spite of obstacles working on the principles of
commitment, dedication, and hard work. The same
principles will work for you, too.

Colon Cleansing With Yoga
Colon cleansing is extremely essential in each human
being's life however many of us do not even recognize
it. Colon cleansing just refers to the cleaning of the
large intestine. But it is not enough. The entire organ,
that is, including the small intestine has to be
cleaned. The colon tends to accumulate a lot of toxic
materials than any other part of the body and as a
result becomes thicker. Later it results in serious
intestinal problems, which cannot be easily cured. The
natural way of cleaning the colon is by fasting for a
particular period, taking juices and herbs, by
practicing yoga and meditation and by giving the body
plenty of rest and relaxation.
The small intestine is the place where most nourishment
is assimilated. Any problems or blockage associated with
the small intestine will result in serious health
problems. Yoga has given greater importance to colon
cleansing, as it believes that the origin of all our
ailments starts from our stomach.
In yoga, there is a practice called "Shankhaprakshalana"
or "varisara dhauti" which means internal washing using
water. It is a subtle process to repair the damages
caused by the toxins that are in through different
sources to our nervous system, skin, sinus area,
intestine, liver, kidneys and in short to all parts of
our body. The practice of this method will keep away
many diseases that include heart problems, diabetes,
blood pressure, and kidney failures. Say no to all
diseases just by cleaning your colon.
Shankhaprakshalana
Shankha meaning "conch" and prakshalana meaning to wash
completely. The word shankha is used to represent the
entire alimentary canal from mouth to anus. This
practice is also known as "varisara dhauti". Thus,
Shankhaprakshalana is the process to clean the
intestinal tract by removing the impurities with salty
water.
NOTE – No one should try this in absence of Yoga
Guru and without advice of medical practitioner.
