Day Four: The Light is Pouring In
Day Four: Here Comes the Sun, for real
Well, I wasn’t sure it would ever happen, but I think today was my day. My caffeine-free experiment seems to be a success! This morning’s meditation was clearer and more relaxed than I can ever remember.
I was focused, no jangled nerves, no interrupted thoughts. This morning I felt like I was really bringing my poses from a true place of stillness. It was sublime.
I have to be honest, I didn’t think I could get here. It hasn’t been the standard 10 days or so that conventional wisdom says it takes for caffeine and sugar to leave your body. But now I feel I’ve made it past the toughest part of the process. And I can see the changes already taking root.
So tomorrow, it’s back to the real business of this blog, yoga, and pilates, too. I’ll keep adding updates as I move past Day 10, just in case. But for now, lets leave it on a positive note.
Truly, Peace.

congrats on making it! I’ve been trying to limit my caffeine to a few times a week and it’s not too hard. I can’t believe the amoutn of diet Mountain Dew I used to chug at midnight while studying in college. Gross.

Congratulations! I’ve quit caffeine a few times before too, although most often I do keep drinking green tea. I have one hint: if you’re planning to treat yourself to a caffeinated beverage now and again, be careful not to do it to often - its’ really easy to get re-addicted!
