​Why drink ceremonial cacao?

Using intention, quiet time and meditation to work on yourself to find and maintain peace in a chaotic world is how and why you might drink Cacao and hold space for yourself.

Cacao has incredible healing properties and is very nutritious, don’t get it confused with cocoa powder of hot chocolate – ceremonial cacao is raw chocolate without all the vegetables oils and sugar we see put into processed chocolate.

It is the purest form of Cacao and you’ll need to source it ethically. You won’t find ceremonial cacao in powder form as ceremonial cacao has all the original healthy wonderful fats still in it and so it will come as a solid – usually a block and you will shave off what you need with a sharp knife to prepare it.

Cacao has great natural health benefits, with a tangible emotional grounding and heart opening energy to it.

Benefits are many;

It is a natural anti-depressant

It is a plant medicine, healing and reassuring

It opens our heart energy and gives us a feeling of love

Enhances meditation

Increases concentration and focus

Focuses mental clarity

Induces a deep feeling of peace and ‘all is well’ making it a wonderful partner for manifestation

It contains excellent levels of magnesium, copper, zinc, iron, calcium, manganese, sulphur and phosphorous, which our diet is generally deficient in

Our bodies need all of these wonderful minerals for our emotional and physical well-being and balance

Sharpens the mind and improves mental focus

Strengthens the cardiovascular system, heart function

Regulates blood pressure and blood sugar

Fascilitates regeneration and rejuvenation

Powerful antioxidant

Opens up the blood vessels – vasodilator

Heart healing

The beans contain, among many, anandamide, the bliss chemical p-e- a – the love chemical

The foam is believed to carry the Spirit of the plant as a medicinal and divine aid and blessing.

Bringing Cacao into your Daily Practice;

Drinking Cacao at home, working with her to center and balance yourself in the mornings before your day starts is a beautiful nurturing ritual I love to include in my morning practice every day.

Cacao is not only physically healthy but spiritually and emotionally grounding too meaning:

You link to your intuition much more clearly, so we make good, clear decisions.

When we sit quietly with Cacao, we are able to really hear ourselves think – and that’s a luxury we don’t always allow ourselves.

We handle stress far more effectively and are able to really ‘know’ what we need.

Many Women now work with Cacao at home, bridging the gap between the ancient Meso-American cultures and our lifestyle today, honoring the spirit of cacao and the work of those who have honored its Spirit for many thousands of years.

It is completely safe to drink on your own, enabling women to do their sacred inner work in the peace and sanctuary of their own space.

The meditative effects last approximately 45 minutes and the heart opening feeling of love, joy and well-being can last all day!
