CACAO CEREMONY HISTORY  Cacao ceremonies have actually been around for thousands of years, originating all the way back to Mayan and Aztec traditions in Central and South America, used for spiritual, medicinal and ceremonial purposes for inner awakening and creative guidance. Pure cacao is used as a heart opening medicine for people to safely experience awakening, revelation and inner healing. Cacao is used in a sacred medicinal ritual, where intentions are set and once consumed, euphoric states are unlocked, negative emotions are released and we are able to connect to ourselves and the loving energy in our body.  IS CACAO THE SAME AS CHOCOLATE? Not exactly, cacao used in a cacao ceremony is different from regular chocolate we eat. Unlike what you might expect, it doesn’t taste anything like hot chocolate, so it might shock you when you first try it. It is a natural plant medicine and the cacao beans are what goes into the chocolate we are familiar with – but usually only 20-30%. Ritual cacao is made from ground cacao beans, water, cacao butter and a tiny bit of sugar or coconut sugar all mixed into a liquid, actually very bitter but naturally high in iron, magnesium and B-complex vitamins. WHAT HAPPENS IN A CACAO CEREMONY? CACAO CEREMONIES VARY DEPENDING ON THE CEREMONY FACILITATOR (or shaman). People usually sit in a circle and set intentions, meditate, pray or whatever they feel in their heart, oftentimes with heartfelt music or sound healing. It is a fun, uplifting experience in a safe and open community. What you can experience during a cacao ceremony: * A heart opening journey of oneness, love and ecstasy * Healing therapy – releasing blocks, recognizing patterns, following your heart * Finding a connection to your highest self, your own power and truth * A shamanic or spiritual journey * A space to enter into meditation – being able to silence the mind, connect to the wisdom and spirit within you * A balance of masculine and feminine energies in the body * Enhanced creativity
