What is a Cacao Ceremony?
A Cacao Ceremony is a time dedicated to journey inwards supported by the nurturing power of Cacao. It is a break from the everyday list of must-do’s and must-be’s.
It is a welcoming safe and grounding space, where you will be given an introduction to cacao, its heart opening properties and you will be guided through grounding practices to create a safe foundation to go on an explorative journey into your inner landscape.
Depending on the ceremony the theme and intention may vary, but the guiding objective is You will be invited to provide you with more clarity and a deeper understanding of who you are. Who you are behind the masks and personas that life in our world forces us to wear.
Delving into your inner self to release stuck emotions and rework mental patterns may sound daunting, but rest assured, Cacao is a gentle plant that we can choose to tune into to the extent that we want and are ready for.
In these Cacao Ceremonies the focus is on opening up to this nurturing gentleness for ourselves. Nothing is forced, and at all times you have control over your own experience.
What is Ceremonial Cacao?
Ceremonial grade cacao, is cacao that is minimally processed so as to retain to the utmost level the natural compounds of the plant. Stimulation from cacao is mild, you may experience increased blood flow (vasodilation), release of endorphins, which contribute to enhanced mood, connection and emotional release. Ingesting cacao in a ceremonial setting is a heart-opening experience that fosters heightened awareness, strengthened intuition and mindfulness to guide on towards the life path that is aligned to who we are.
Physiological and Psychological Effects of Cacao:
Mild Stimulation: Ceremonial cacao contains theobromine, which is a mild stimulant that can cause increased heart rate and increased alertness.
Increased Blood Flow: The flavonoids in Cacao may contribute to improved blood flow. This can have positive effects on cardiovascular health.
Release of Endorphins: Cacao contains phenylethylamine, often referred to as the “love molecule,” which can contribute to feelings of happiness and euphoria. Additionally, cacao consumption may stimulate the release of endorphins, the body’s natural mood enhancers.
Improved Mood and Emotional Openness: People can experience having an enhanced mood and a feeling of emotional release. This can be attributed to the combination of theobromine, phenylethylamine, and the ceremonial space.
Heart Opening: Ceremonial cacao is often associated with heart-opening experiences. This may involve a heightened sense of empathy, connection, and love towards oneself and others.
Heightened Awareness and Mindfulness: The ritualistic nature of cacao ceremonies, including intention setting and guided meditation can lead to a state of heightened awareness and mindfulness. People attending may experience a deeper connection with their thoughts and emotions.
