How to Make Ceremonial Drinking Cacao
You open your eyes from dreamland and take a deep breath. Soft light streams through your window, welcoming you to a new day. Placing your hand on your heart, you send waves of loving gratitude to your body, your mind and your spirit.
Whether you are a good vibe Jedi who begins each day with this level of loving awareness, or you desire to live more blissfully open-hearted, cacao is your plant medicine ally.
Drinking a cup of heart-opening cacao as part of your daily ritual is a wonderful way to create more love, abundance and heartfelt connection in your life. Not to mention kickstarting your day with more energy and a mood boost.
Cacao is rich in theobromine, a compound known for its many benefits including boosting your mood, improving brain function and stimulating blood flow throughout the body.
The result is more mental clarity for meditation or business brainstorming, more removal of toxins from your body and blood stream, and an elevated physical and emotional state to power up your workout or your morning mindfulness ritual.
In addition, cacao is full of healthy fats, antioxidants and magnesium, which help to relax sore muscles and strengthen your brain and heart.
Along with these promising health benefits, cacao is also a wonderful support for more open-hearted living. Daily consumption can result (no claims, but we strongly encourage you to try it and see for yourself), in more compassion, love and authentic connection in all of your relationships.
Did we mention that a daily cup of cacao is decadent and delicious? And it’s quick and easy to prepare. So grab a single serving or 10-serving bag and drink up. Here’s to more love, joy and connection in your life!
