Welcome to your cacao ceremony today.
Let's begin by taking your cup of cacao into your hands and holding it over your heart space and take a deep breath in through your nose,
Letting all the chocolatey aroma of the cacao fill your heart space,
Fill your body and we can acknowledge this as the beginning of our connection with the spirit of cacao today.
And as you exhale just releasing anything that's no longer serving you,
Letting go of any tension,
Letting go of any worries,
Allowing yourself to fully relax into this present moment.
Feel the warmth of the cup in your hands and visualize all the way to the bottom of the cup to the earth where this cacao grew from the beautiful trees under the canopy of the rainforest where this beautiful cacao pod was picked with great intention.
And connect in with this incredible plant medicine that is in your hands and find gratitude for all of the incredible people who have enabled this cacao to be.
In your hands right now and take a moment now to think of an intention for yourself maybe for your day ahead or a week ahead and when you have this intention I invite you to blow this into your cup,
Releasing any attachment and letting go of all expectations surrounding this intention.
And then just connect in with your heart space,
Breathe deeply into your heart and notice how you're feeling,
Notice how your body is feeling,
Notice where your mind is going without any attachment to that.
And as you take your first sip of cacao savoring the taste and the feeling as it nourishes your body let's imagine the cacao spreading warmth and love throughout your entire being and if you'd like to now you could call in your spirit guides,
Your angels,
Your ancestors or maybe just simply the spirit of cacao.
And a really nice question to ask at this time either to the spirit of cacao or your higher self is what am I needing to know right now?
Is there something that my higher self or the spirit of cacao is here to tell me at this time?
And just sitting with the possibility of what that could be but also without any attachment to it and allowing the spirit of cacao to bring forth for you as you continue to drink this cup of cacao any messages or any guidance that you may be needing.
And it may not happen right away,
It may happen as you go forth in your day or it may happen over the coming week.
So just being open to any possibility that is coming your way that is meant for you at this time.
As you continue sipping on your cacao we can think about the many indigenous communities that have been working with this plant.
They understand the sacredness of this beautiful plant and they're saying that it allows us to come back to our truth.
These people also understand that elements understand that elements of nature is something sacred that move within us and outside of us.
They are an extension of ourselves.
So the moment that we begin honouring and respecting these energies we can also remember to honour and respect our own being.
So with every sip finding gratitude for the incredible elements of earth,
Fire,
Wind and water and then of course gratitude for our own being.
The ability to take moments like this and come back to ourselves.
Come back and find the true inner being that resides within us.
To sit with ourselves in silence with this incredible elixir and honour ourselves as the beautiful humans that we are.
And as you have your last few sips of cacao acknowledging yourself and the time that you have taken out to look after yourself today.
You've chosen to heal,
Chosen to live and you can choose to see through the lens of love.
And you can choose to see through the lens of love.
And choose to take the lead and follow your dharma or your true life path.
And allow your heart to be opened.
Allow yourself to go forth in this day with this beautiful open heart.
Choosing to come to situations from a place of love and compassion.
So just take your hands and place them over your heart now.
And take a deep breath in through your nose and let that out with a big sigh.
And just observe any shift in yourself from the beginning of this cacao ceremony until now.
And go out into your day and be beautiful and full of life and full of love and full of compassion.
And allow that heart to continue to stay open and burst full of love and energy.
Have a wonderful day.
Namaste.
