The heart is called Yi [unified power] becuz when intent moves, spirit is agitated; qi is dispersed. Qi is the Mother of spirit; Spirit is the child of qi. The Mother as qi is the horse that guides/conducts the river chariot (yin spirit) in the water (yin jing). Once your mind is away from the lower Elixir Field, your Qi will be led away from it and be consumed. By gathering the Shen into the lower tan tien then the Qi follows it there.

Coffee inhibits lowering of cortisol levels. Green tea does not increase cortisol levels
Impact of components of green tea on plasma cortisol concentration was confirmed. It was found that an epigallocatechin-3-gallate inhibits activity of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1), which participates in conversion of cortisone to cortisol [69, 70]. Figure 3 shows effect of epigallocatechin-3-gallate on balance between levels of cortisol and cortisone.
In contrast to the green, black coffee stimulates secretion of hydrocortisone. Studies of Gavrieli et al. [74] on cortisol levels in men who drank decaffeinated and caffeine-containing coffee showed that for the impact on level of this hormone is responsible caffeine. In addition, it was noted that included caffeine in coffee inhibits evening decrease in cortisol levels.

I've seen Buddhist qigong masters get this turned around wrong! oops!
So I have been claiming for starting out the "Moving of Yin and Yang" for males the yang left hand faces the yin lower body (below the navel) and the right yin hand faces the yang upper body.
Now I have been corroborated!
