Chapter 1: The Decision to Quit Coffee

What happens when you give up coffee? This question piqued my interest, leading me to embark on an experiment starting March 7th. An email from Prune Harris, an Energy Medicine Intuitive, caught my eye, suggesting that caffeine interferes with our subtle energy field, or aura. This aura, an electromagnetic energy field that surrounds us, plays a crucial role in channeling energy from the cosmos into our bodies.

As I aged, I realized that my morning coffee habit was causing me more distress than joy. While the initial boost of energy was enticing, I soon felt a chaotic energy swirling around me, akin to being tossed in a dryer. At sixty, I was eager to adopt healthier habits, prompting me to eliminate coffee for three days to gauge its effect on my well-being.

Fortunately, I enjoy tea, which I gradually transitioned to after my coffee phase. Initially, I replaced coffee with milk tea, then switched to lighter tea, which is believed to have higher antioxidant levels. Due to my medication, warfarin, I needed to avoid certain teas, but I managed to maintain a tea habit of about four to five cups daily alongside my coffee.

While tea has varying caffeine levels, I sought to cut out coffee altogether, as it was the primary source of my caffeine intake. The benefits of quitting coffee became apparent: improved sleep, enhanced mood, stable blood pressure, reduced headaches, and even some financial savings.

On my first two days without coffee, I felt surprisingly balanced, with no disruption to my energy field. I was relieved to discover that I didn't experience the usual post-coffee turbulence, marking a significant improvement in my physical state.

However, by the third afternoon, the cravings for coffee began to creep in. I was pleased with my accomplishment of lasting two and a half days without it, especially considering how dependent I used to be on my morning brew. Reflecting on my goals helped me resist the temptation, especially since I was aware that coffee dehydrates the body, often requiring double the water intake for every cup consumed.

Interestingly, during the first two days of my coffee-free experiment, I naturally reduced my tea consumption. This led me to speculate that my previous tea intake was partly driven by a subconscious need to stay hydrated.

Healthline notes that while some teas may contain caffeine, their impact on hydration levels is typically minimal. However, the amount consumed and individual health conditions play a significant role in this.

I utilized a crystal water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the day, prompting me to consider whether my previous coffee consumption had masked my hydration needs. On the third day, instead of succumbing to coffee cravings, I opted for a banana as a distraction. This decision highlighted the importance of focusing on alternative activities to diminish cravings.

Remarkably, I successfully abstained from coffee for five consecutive days! I celebrated this milestone, especially since I had anticipated needing to allow myself a weak coffee on day four. To my surprise, I didn't crave coffee at all on that day.

The fifth day marked the beginning of my work week, and while memories of coffee surfaced, I remained steadfast in my resolve to avoid it. Despite my initial thoughts about coffee, I reminded myself of the benefits of maintaining an unbroken streak.

On the sixth day, I decided to test my limits by making a weak cup of coffee. However, the diluted taste left me unsatisfied, reinforcing my understanding of how caffeine impacts my energy field. This experience became a motivator for my ongoing journey, reminding me that even an unsatisfactory coffee still counted as a step toward progress.

Surprisingly, even as my coffee intake reduced, my tea consumption also declined. By the seventh day, I felt the urge for a cup of coffee but decided to have just a weak one. This time, the flavor was more prominent, yet it did not disrupt my energy field.

Ultimately, this journey demonstrated that moderation and awareness are key when it comes to coffee consumption. I have resolved to limit my coffee intake to rare occasions, opting for a lighter brew that allows me to savor the flavor without overwhelming my energy systems.
