Welcome beloved one.
Take a moment to settle wherever you are.
Let the space around you become still,
Intentional,
Sacred.
This is more than a meditation.
This is a ritual,
A homecoming,
A remembering.
Together we step into a sacred space to commune with the spirit of cacao.
Gentle,
Loving and deeply heart opening.
If you are holding your cacao now,
Place both hands around your cup,
Bring it to your heart,
Taking a few deep breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth,
Allowing the body to soften.
Before we sip,
We open the space,
Call in your own guides,
Your ancestors,
The elements,
The spirit of Mama Cacao.
You may say softly or silently,
I open the space in love,
In presence and in gratitude.
May I be guided,
Held and opened.
I call in the spirit of cacao to walk with me today.
Thank you for this medicine.
Take a breath in and feel the sacredness arrive.
Feel yourself drop into ceremony.
Look at your cacao,
See its color,
Feel its warmth.
This is not just a drink.
It is a plant spirit,
An offering of the earth.
Cacao is the fruit of the jungle,
The keeper of ancient feminine wisdom,
The tender guardian of the heart.
You may offer your gratitude.
Thank you Mama Cacao for your wisdom,
Your nourishment,
Your sweetness.
Thank you for walking with me.
I honor where you come from.
I honor your spirit.
Bringing your cup of cacao to your lips and take your first sip slowly.
Feel it move into you and feel it meet your heart.
With your hands over your heart,
Ask gently,
What is my intention for the ceremony?
It might be something you're calling in or something you're ready to release or simply a longing to soften into presence.
Let your intention rise from within,
No force,
Just listening.
You may speak it aloud if you feel cold.
My intention is.
.
.
Take another sip,
Let it anchor in.
Now close your eyes,
Place one hand on your heart and one on your belly.
Begin to breathe gently into your chest.
With every inhale,
Imagine soft,
Warm light entering your heart space.
And with every exhale,
Feel your body melt a little more.
Picture your heart as a flower.
Maybe it's tight and closed.
Maybe it's already blooming.
Wherever it is,
It's perfect.
Just be with it.
Feel it,
Breathe into it.
Let it open in its own time.
There's nothing to do,
Just feel.
Now ask your heart,
What do you need me to hear today?
Wait for the whisper.
Let whatever comes be enough.
And now ask,
What are you ready to receive?
Feel the answer drop in.
Maybe it's love,
Peace,
Trust,
A sense of belonging.
Let it wash through you.
You can repeat after me or whisper these to yourself.
I am open to love.
I am safe to feel.
I receive with ease.
I am connected to all that I need.
My heart is a sacred compass.
I honor the medicine within me.
Begin to return to your body now.
Wiggle your fingers.
Notice the shift in your heart.
You may offer a final sip to the earth if you feel cold.
Or you can place your hands together in prayer.
Thank you Mama Cacao for your love and your guidance.
Thank you to the earth,
To my body,
To my heart.
I close this space with reverence.
May the medicine continue to move through me with grace.
Take a final breath.
And when you are ready,
Slowly open your eyes.
You are whole.
You are love.
And you are deeply,
Deeply held.
