Description
Cacao ceremonies are a healing practice that is used in a variety of indigenous cultures all over the world. This healing space provides us with the opportunity to connect to the wholeness and vastness of who we are as this medicine literally helps to open up the heart and as a result, move deeper inwards. When we connect an intension to this healing process, it makes the ceremony even more powerful as we are communing with instilling our desires into the element of nature that we are consuming,
Cacao is a medicine that speaks to everyone differently as some people feel it more in their bodies and others in their heart. This process can be emotional as we are releasing toxins that no longer serve us. Cacao contains antioxidants, is a natural anti-depressant with mood enhancing qualities such as serotonin and dopamine. Cacao helps increase blood flow and activates the part of the brain that contains memories so it allows for you to introspect and let go combined with helping to reduce the bodies stress response and is excellent to navigate anxiety overall.
Part of this healing process includes:
•Journaling
•Breathing techniques
•Yoga Nidra and relaxation
•Sound bath healing and music for relaxation
Benefits
Team building, group connection, relaxation, managing stress and self-development
