What is ceremonial cacao?
Ceremonial cacao is high-grade, rich in flavour, traditional ‘chocolate’ that’s used to connect with some of the spiritual practices of the Maya, Aztec and other ancient indigenous people. Historically, cacao drinks have been used for a variety of life-affirming ceremonies including births, marriages, and battles, as well as to honour the gods and in healing ceremonies.
Today, she has travelled from her home lands to heal the hearts of the masses and to bring us as a planet back into balance. She is one of Mother Earths many beautiful forms of self healing, as by healing the wounded humans she is also healing herself. We are all one and the same.
What are the spiritual effects of ceremonial cacao?
Cacao opens your heart physically and spiritually. The active ingredient theobromine widens the vessels and stimulates the heart, allowing bloody to flow faster and the energy to move through the body smoother! Spiritually this medicine works in the heart chakra allowing you to connect with yourself and others more deeply and authentically. Fear and anxiety is replaced with love and joy.
Cacao brings more balance to your masculine and feminine energies within.
Within you are two dominant energies that are essential and fundamental for life to run smoothly. These are our masculine and feminine energies, the Shiva and Shakti, yin and yang. When out of balance we can find ourselves in discomfort and unhappiness in our lives. She helps to bring more harmony and balance to these aspects of you by clearing the energy channels. She allows you to receive inspiration while also giving you the energy to act upon it. The feminine and the masculine working together in harmony.
Cacao enhances meditation.
Meditation and cacao work beautifully together, allowing you to connect with your inner spirit and wisdom. Meditation becomes easier and more beneficial, quieting the mind becomes easier due to more mental clarity and focus bringing you deeper into the present moment.
Cacao brings mental clarity.
It quiets the mind, giving the spirit a louder voice for you to hear. This allows you to think more clearly and thus gain a broader perspective which enables you to not only recognise, but to also let go of old outdated patterns, limiting beliefs, bad habits and even past traumas! She gives us the space in our mind to slow down and intentionally create space for ourselves to go inwards.
Creative cacao.
With the new clarity of mind, it becomes easier for the flow of inspiration and creativity to enter your life. This helps you to understand what skills you have and what you like to do most in the creative arts, allowing you to get to know your soul better.
The healing powers of cacao.
As the cacao opens your heart (the gateway to your inner spirit and wisdom) you will experience a stronger connection with the higher self (intuition, soul, God, whichever resonates with you the most). This leads to an expanded awareness of life that can be transformational to say the least, if you follow the path and truth that has been shown to you. The things that have been keeping you from living the life you love will come to light which brings with it the strength you need in letting them go. Cacao can lead you to a healthier lifestyle in mind, body and spirit leaving you overall more balanced and in flow with the universe.
So you can see why we use it at all of our events! She allows you to expand into the moment letting you take all you can from the teachings and healing energies.
She changed our lives, will you allow her to change yours?
