We begin by taking a deep breath in through the nose and releasing out the mouth.
As we begin to softly land in this space,
You may take your cup of cacao in your hand as I invite you to close down your eyes,
Taking a few breaths here in this transition.
Breathing in and receiving yourself here.
Breathing out and connecting.
We begin our prayer by calling in and giving thanks to the original custodians of the land that you are currently resting upon.
The elders of this land past,
Present and emerging.
Thanking them for allowing you to be here,
Inviting you in and welcoming you with such loving presence in this moment.
We call in and give thanks to the heart of the sky,
Father sky,
All that is above,
The sun,
The stars,
The moon,
The cosmos,
All that is lighting our way in the darkness and reminding us of our light within.
We connect with the warmth of the sun and the wisdom of the moon as we remember the cycles in and around us.
We listen and receive your guidance today.
May your light illuminate our path.
Calling in and giving thanks to the heart of the earth,
Mother earth,
The first mother,
The fertile ground beneath our feet,
The earth we stand upon and our roots.
We thank you for holding,
Sustaining and grounding us,
For nourishing us and allowing us a place to call home,
A place where we can rest our bones.
May we remember how to live in harmony with you.
As we remember to love you,
May your love embrace us so that we may remember to love ourselves and those around us with greater depth.
We call in and give thanks to the spirit of air,
Our vital breath that gives us life,
That which brings us back to this present moment.
We thank the winds that bring upon change,
The different seasons inside and outside of us.
May we embrace the lessons of change,
Reminding us that change is nothing to be feared.
May the winds carry our prayers and intentions,
Carry our gratitude for this life and give us the inspiration to remember who we are.
We call in and give thanks to the spirit of water,
The waters of this earth,
The rivers,
The seas,
The lakes and oceans that nourish,
Hydrate,
Cleanse and purify us.
Thank you for showing us your fluidity and power,
Reminding us that this exists within us too.
May we honour the element of water in our own lives and allow the waters to cleanse and heal our hearts and souls of any outdated beliefs.
We call in and give thanks to the spirit of fire,
Our passions and desires,
Our creativity and strength,
The beat of our own hearts,
The heat of our bodies,
Our spirit.
We thank you for igniting the courage to speak our truth,
To set our boundaries and to step forward on the path towards our highest timeline.
Show us what has come to completion and burn away what we are ready to release.
We give our thanks and call in the sacred direction of the east,
The place of the rising sun.
May you remind us that each day is a new beginning.
The west,
The place of the setting sun.
May you guide us through the darkness with courage.
The north,
The realm of our ancestors.
May you teach us the ways of those who walked before us.
The south,
The place of expansion.
May our hearts feel ignited on our own sacred journey.
I call upon the sacred centre,
The heart within us all.
May we remember that we are the child of the sky and of the earth.
May we remember to be open-hearted,
Loving and kind.
May we tap into the beauty of what we came here to do and remember that this life is nothing but a miracle.
We call in all of our beautiful guides,
Guardians,
Allies,
Angels,
Spirit animals and teachers.
Calling in any of your healed and loving ancestors,
Those that are here only for our highest good,
Our highest evolution and purpose.
Whether they are known or unknown,
Asking them to be with you here today.
May we remember our ancestors of our blood,
Our bone and the lands we came from.
Asking them to sit behind you,
Beside you,
Around you.
May you speak to us and show us that we are not alone,
That we are guided,
Supported and protected by you.
And we call in and we give thanks to the spirit of Kakao.
May you show us what we are ready to see,
What we are ready to feel.
What is holding us back,
The behaviours that are keeping us limited.
May we hear your guidance and move forward in service to our soul and the greater good of all.
And I give my thanks to the Mayan people,
My teachers,
The protectors of the land where my Kakao was grown and produced.
Those who have,
Despite all they have endured,
Shared their knowledge and wisdom traditions with me,
With us.
So that we can consume this medicine with such reverence and intention for our continued healing and expansion.
Let us thank all the forces who created this space for us to be in presence in this moment.
For calling us forward to showing up for ourselves on this day.
May we be open to receive the wisdom that is here for us.
If there is an intention,
A prayer that you would like to call in,
You may do so now.
Breathing in and receive,
Breathing out and allowing that to anchor you,
Support you as you journey with the medicine of Kakao today.
Bringing your cup of Kakao up towards your lips,
Bowing your head down to your Kakao in respect and appreciation.
And you may now take your first sip.
Thank you,
Thank you,
Thank you.
