Sat nam,
I came across this msg and would like to suggest to the poster that coffee is really bad for the adrenals.
The more coffee the weaker the adrenals.
I stopped drinking coffee after I had an event with my blood sugar and adrenals in which I almost passed out.
I substituted yogi tea, and yerba mate, both of which will stimulate without caffeine.
After about 6 months, I now drink a very little (1/2 cup) of very weak coffee only after a full meal.
Also a very good book that will help to understand hormones and adrenals is: "Feeling Fat, Fuzzy or Frazzled?: A 3-Step Program to: Beat Hormone Havoc, Restore Thyroid, Adrenal, and Reproductive Balance, and Feel Better Fast!" by Karilee and Richard Shames
regards,
kartar kaur

I also have adrenal fatigue, which causes me to feel very tired physically no matter how much I rest/sleep. I counter that with 4 cups of coffee in the mornings so I can function. I wake up tired and cranky, and am usually awakened by my children. So, the whole rest of the day is trying to balance that sadness and fatigue. The sadness is caused by the fatigue.

So, my practice is without a teacher at home using DVDs and videos. I would love to do the Guru Rattana classes, but my internet connection isn't good enough.

Kundalini will be my focus completely starting Monday. I am making a 40 day commitment to working with the first 3 chakras and may some with the 5th for my thyroid. I want to accept my position in life right now, find joy in it. I want to parent and write with all the creativity my Creator has blessed me with. I want to make the commitment to living my best life possible and to stop being angry. Then, I want to work on healing my mental and physical scars. What should I realistically expect without getting angry when it comes to practicing with small children around? My oldest is 4 and my youngest 17 months. If I am interrupted while meditating, I feel like I am losing something. It is so hard to still my mind as it is wound on adrenaline and caffeine.
