Welcome to your five minute opening blessing for your personal cacao ceremony.
With your cup of cacao in your hands,
Start to centre yourself by taking some full deep breaths,
Either through your nose or your mouth.
Take three deep breaths.
Pick your favourite place in nature,
Maybe a beach,
A garden,
A forest,
Whatever is your favourite and imagine that your bare feet are planted directly onto the earth.
Feel rooted and grounded.
Imagine a column of light surrounding your entire body,
Reaching down into the core of the earth and also reaching upwards into the heavens.
Bring yourself into full presence in this moment.
Feel the slight breeze on your skin.
Feel the vibrations of the earth below you and tune into the mystical nature of the journey ahead.
Take your first sip of cacao.
As you take your first sip,
Feel connected to cacao's essence.
Every plant has a spirit and the spirit of cacao is a gentle yet powerful and feminine presence which can assist the opening of your heart space,
The connection to self and others and the raising of your vibration.
It's important to call upon the spirit of the cacao and intentionally connect with her as you begin your own cacao ceremony.
Invite her into your heart and give her permission to assist you with your intentions today.
Take a second sip of your cacao.
Become present to what you are grateful for.
Hold your cup with two hands,
Bring the cup to your heart space.
Become present to what you are grateful for.
Maybe a loved one will pop into your mind or a situation in your life or just a simple appreciation for being alive during this magical time.
Whatever it is,
Expand your heart in gratitude.
Give thanks to cacao for her journey all the way from the jungle to find you in this moment,
Assisting you on your journey.
You surround your energy field with a green ray of light emanating from your heart chakra,
Creating and protecting the sacred space,
Your cacao as we say this opening blessing.
Repeat the words either out loud or silently.
Thank you.
Thank you for this precious moment.
Thank you for allowing me to feel this aliveness,
This openness.
I welcome the spirit of cacao into my heart to soften me.
I expand my heart's ability to give and receive unconditional love.
I expand my heart's ability to give and receive compassion.
I expand my heart's ability to give and receive.
To mama earth,
The element of the fire,
Earth,
Water and air,
I give thanks.
To my ancestors,
The original keepers of the lands upon which I walk,
I ask you to walk with me.
To my guides,
I welcome your grace.
And finally,
I call upon my higher self to guide me in this ceremony and throughout my day.
As you continue to sip your cacao,
Set any intentions you would like before continuing your personal ceremony in whatever way you feel guided to today,
Whether it's meditation,
Contemplation,
Journaling,
Feeling or moving.
Just let your heart and your breath be the guide.
Namaste.
