TO PREPARE YOUR CACAO /
Ceremonial Cacao is a plant medicine from Guatemala. It has been used for thousands of years in ceremony and ritual. It is chocolate in its most raw form. Unprocessed and filled with incredible vitamins, minerals and magical properties. Ceremonial cacao can open your heart, connect you into your emotional body, deepen your intuition, open up creative channels, energise, and it can hold your intentions.
Please drink on an empty stomach (no less than 2 hours after food) -
Dosing Guidelines - Daily Dose - 10-20g - Ceremonial Dose - 30-42g (if this is your first time with cacao I recommend starting lower to find your best dose)
RECIPE / Warm a cup of plant milk (no dairy) in a pot on the hob (do not boil) when it has started to get hot, add in your cacao and whisk it through until smooth. I recommend adding some honey and optional extras can include: powdered ginger, cinnamon, maca or any adaptogens/spices you prefer.
When making your cacao, hold any intentions you have in your heart and send into the cacao.
HOW TO USE YOUR KIT
Set up a space where you won’t be disturbed, maybe creating an altar with your crystal, oracle card and any other special items.
Use your smoke stick (light the ends and then blow out flame so you have smoke) to cleanse around your body and space. Intentionally clearing any unwanted energy.
Light your candle with your intention in your heart, casting a spell with these words you speak and think.
Send gratitude into your cup of cacao and drink it mindfully, slowly sipping and letting all your senses become alive to this medicine.
You can use the notebook to write down how you feel / your experience with cacao / any drawings / inspiration that comes through.
Use the bath melts to have a soothing, nourishing self care bath. Maybe putting on some soft music or reading a book.
The meditation is perfect in the evening or before bed. Yoga Nidra is Yogic Sleep. It is said to be the equivalent of 4 hours deep rest. Yoga Nidra is practiced lying down - so get cosy and comfortable and let yourself be held by this practice.
I always love to hear your experiences with cacao and I am also open to any questions you have, either message/tag me on Instagram @skye.on.earth or send me an email skyeonearthh@gmail.com.
