Welcome to today's talk about creating a sacred space for cacao.

What does a sacred space look like?

What does it feel like?

And how can you bring more of this into your life?

So creating a sacred space for cacao is a beautiful ritual that deepens our connection with this ancient medicine.

It helps to amplify the intention with love and presence we bring in the moment.

When we step into a space like this,

We're setting a clear signal to our minds,

To our hearts and of course our spirit that we're about to enter into something meaningful,

Something special.

And it's a chance to turn inward,

Leaving behind the distractions of the outside world and allowing cacao to support us in reconnecting with our true selves in a really intentional way.

So the first step in creating this space is to set an intention.

Just as we light a candle,

We can light our intentions,

Allowing them to illuminate what we're bringing into our ceremony.

This can be something that you're inviting into your life.

It could be a question that you want clarity on or a simple desire to hold space for self-care and connection.

But by setting this intention,

You can invite cacao to work in alignment with your heart's true desires.

It's a way to plant a seed that can begin to grow as you drink and receive the medicine of cacao.

This sacred space can look and feel different every time you sit with cacao.

You may like to surround yourself with candles,

With crystals,

With music,

Or you may simply want to be in a beautiful cleansing space out in nature.

Every time you sit with cacao in a sacred space,

It may be different,

As long as you have a beautiful intention and you have boundaries.

So creating boundaries within the space is essential.

Boundaries aren't just about keeping things out.

They're also about honoring what you choose to allow in.

In this sacred time with cacao,

You are allowing the energy of cacao,

Your intentions,

And the essence of love and self-compassion.

You're keeping out the noise,

Keeping out all those hurried thoughts,

The endless to-do list that can so often pull us out of the present.

So this boundary helps create a space that's safe,

That's supportive,

So that when you drink,

You can truly receive without distraction.

I'd like you to imagine your sacred space as a cocoon,

A gentle,

Loving space that embraces you,

Inviting you to feel at ease and to be fully yourself.

Whether you are lighting candles,

Burning incense,

Smudging with sage,

Playing soft music,

Or sitting in silence,

The goal is to make this space feel inviting and warm.

So by infusing love and intention into your environment,

You're telling yourself that you deserve this care,

This moment of grounding in this space.

You're free to be vulnerable,

To explore,

And to open your heart,

Which is the deepest desire of cacao,

Connecting in with your heart and your heart's most precious desires.

This sacred time is about reconnecting,

Returning home to yourself,

And honoring all that you are.

When you connect with cacao in this way,

You're not just drinking,

You are communing with a medicine that has been cherished for thousands of years.

This space is yours.

It is a sanctuary where you can listen to your heart and honor your journey.

So may it be filled with love,

With clarity,

And the gentle support of cacao as you open yourself to receive.

I hope you have a wonderful time creating your own sacred space for cacao that feels safe,

Inviting,

Warm,

And loved.

Have a wonderful day.

Namaste.
