Intuitive healing

Intuitive healing is something we all do. Resting when tired for instance.
But this healing process can potentially be corrupted. For instance, a person is familiar with caffeine and gets used to consuming it. When tired the intuitive response may be to drink more coffee rather than rest.
It's a principle I've been pondering today. Coffee and being tired, just the tip of the iceberg.
Does intuitive healing seem like a reasonable proposition? Is yours corrupted to some degree?

Could you perhaps be getting intuition mixed up with habitual programming?
Intuition will mainly flow and be "heard" if we are attuned to it or are in the right headspace etc. coffee and the like ramp up the adrenals for about 8 hours and probably throw our intuition out of whack because in that mode we are all about fight or flight. Whether we know it, or not.
Moral of the story... ditch coffee. if you need something to give you energy, try fruit or a fresh juice. Borrowing from "peter to pay paul" is never a good idea. Oh and try dandelion root as a coffee alternative, you could start with half/half for a week or two or just go all out and go cold turkey.
Take care.

Any instance of intuitive healing would have some level of programming but one could draw a difference between the experience of resting when tired and consuming caffeine when tired. For someone who has never consumed caffeine their only intuitive response is to rest (If we're assuming these are the only two choices). Resting is more "natural" and I use the word loosely, more like an inherent capability.
Caffine is a step above natural body functions in that it's a substance we may or may not ingest. On the same level as food which is another area that may have similar intuitive connotations. Is a person "hooked" on excess carbohydrates ignoring basic information being related to the brain when eating? Has programming/habit and pleasure seeking overtaken the sense of a more optimal amount of food?
So I suppose in a sense, intuition could be the voice that questions habitual programming when it's not optimal or healthy.
For the record, I drink coffee every morning. I think it's a healthy habit. While it does increase heart rate a small amount it also dilates vessels shortly after consumption so there isn't a corresponding increase in blood pressure. Moderation is key.
So I guess I'm not saying higher level learned behavior is bad or unintuitive but it holds the potential for both good and bad.

moderate daily coffee is part of my intuitive healing from which which subtends self soothing including sugar free treats when it seems like it is not injurious, which is usually before noon for coffee.
at this point I am aware that I am addicted to part of my intuitive healing process (especially when it comes to coffee)

I had a sugar and caffeine addiction, but then I separated the sugar from the caffeine, kept on sugar free energy drinks and lost 12 kilograms in 8 months.
I still enjoy caffeine and sugar, but not mixed together in a drink.
And with a little moderation in meal size and hence a general calorie intake.
I find that replacing one addiction with another can provide relief in the mean time.
It can be a reward to have faith in ourselves.
I think it can be good if hobbies are addictive.
If you were to ask 100 people what their addictive behaviours were.. I think I'd like the answer. It sounds interesting.

I don't agree with the concept that drugs cannot heal.. or enable healing of the mind body industry.
Take all the shamans from all the ages..
Dream work, dream healing.
Ayuasca, mushrooms Peyote.
To say there are not benefits to these drugs is insane..
Don't trust the conspiracy!
Drugs can heal! Drugs can provide benefits..
Therefore drug usage is good for the human system.

well it is not so cut and dried, good or bad.
most drugs are harmful at the wrong dosage and at the wrong time, so we need to use our minds/intuitions to make our way through the thicket of illnesses.

Caffeine, like many chemicals in the amine group, is highly addictive and doesn't actually give you any boost at all. When you get your morning coffee, the withdrawal symptoms are leaving and you feel your body's natural state of well-being.
This is easy to test. Go cold turkey for 2 weeks. After about 10 days you will experience a huge "caffeine rush" that just won't go away.

I seem to have put myself in a place where I can't go to sleep without a handful of melatonin, THC gummies, or a dose of amanita muscaria. I try to rotate them and take breaks... but I should probably take more breaks.
It seems like a learned artificial routine that puts me in the mental state for that natural, intuitive healing.
Maybe these learned routines are Pavolvian?

so odd, I like and enjoy caffeine (especially illy blend Arabica put through the Aeropress) and I have no problem falling asleep. I never use melatonin, but often have some THC (between 8 and 25 mg/day at various times usually water soluble format from Emprise).

I have trouble falling asleep when my physical activity is low for the day.
I drink a cup of coffee in the morning and maybe some tea at lunch or dinner. No caffeine after dinner.
Not sure if I've ever had caffeine withdraw. I've gone caffeine free and didn't notice any difference. On an average day I'll have 3-4 caffeinated beverages, probably around 200mg total. I was drinking yellow edition red bull but kicked the processed sugars out so now I make my own energy drinks.
2 cans Dole mango/pineapple juice 1 lemon peel (fruit mostly removed) 2 200mg caffeine capsules 1/4 teaspoon salt
blend lemon peel in water and remove pulp. Add all ingredients to a 2 liter bottle and fill to 4" from the top with water. Let chill and carbonate. Makes 7-8 servings. Delicious... for a low sugar drink. The most delicious thing I've ever carbonated was fruit punch Gatorade.

Did you take it decarboxylated? How much did you take?

I use coffee as a tool to fight off sloth and torpor.
Them two are always trying to drag me down.

Some days my fascia is nice and slippery and smooth.
Other days it's sticky and tight. Like a fascist.
