Good morning and welcome to this morning meditation as we connect with the spirit of cacao,
A beautiful master plant and divine feminine spirit who helps us open our hearts,
Open our minds,
And brings us to deeper connection with ourselves and to Mother Earth.
Thank you for joining me this morning.
I believe you have your cup of cacao in front of you.
Make sure you are in a comfortable seated position with your back straight and your neck upright as we begin this meditation and begin connecting with Mother Cacao.
Noticing your breath,
Connecting to your body,
Feeling your belly rise as you inhale and feeling your belly fall as you exhale.
Bringing your awareness into this present moment,
Inviting all of your energy into this space.
Giving this time for yourself to connect with Mother Cacao,
With Mother Earth,
With your surroundings and with your heart and body.
Bringing your hands to prayer position in front of your heart and sending gratitude to yourself,
To your family and friends,
To all beings,
To Mother Nature and to Mother Cacao.
When you're ready,
You can pick up your cup,
Bring it to your heart,
Giving gratitude to the water,
The rain that fell on this plant,
The sun that nourished this plant,
The breeze,
The space and the soil from which it grew.
I invite you to set yourself an intention just for today.
And wherever you're ready,
Bringing your cup to your lips and thankfully taking your first sip,
Inviting in the medicine into your body,
Into your belly and into every cell in your body.
Notice her flavors and notice her texture on your tongue.
Continuing to take mindful sips and inviting in your intention,
Planting it into your heart,
Trusting that all is well,
Trusting that you are protected,
You are safe,
And you are loved.
Take this time to connect deeper with the spirit of Cacao as you continue to invite her into your body and into your heart.
Whenever you're finished with your cup,
You may put it down in front of you.
Put your palms facing up on your knees,
Taking deep inhales and exhales,
Allowing Cacao to flow into every space and to every cell,
Inviting it into any pain,
Tension in your body,
Any areas that need some love.
Bringing one hand to the belly and one hand to the heart,
Inviting in any messages that you might be receiving at this time or any emotions or thoughts that come into the space.
Receptive.
Stay connected to your breath.
Gently bowing down to your heart,
Bringing your hands to prayer position.
Maybe saying a prayer,
Giving gratitude once again to Mother Cacao,
To Mother Earth,
To this beautiful day ahead.
Giving gratitude to your body and to your heart as you begin this day,
Full of gratitude,
Full of light,
Full of love with the guidance of Mother Cacao.
Blessings and Namaste.
Thank you for joining me today.
