YesterdayI had the pleasure of indulging in a cacao ceremony with myself. It was not extensive and as ritualistic as I like but it was meaningful in that purposefully prepared it and sat down I my recliner and sipped. Today I am being intentional in this practice again.
Cacao is not a sweet thang right off the bat but indeed a big healing Goddess energy. I prepared it as close as possible to what I sipped some months back during a Sacred Woman Sister Soul Sweat in Brooklyn, NY.I fell in love and purchased a canister of my own promising myself that I would create the time and space to have this experience again.
Why am I talking so highly of cacao? Well let me just share a few points. Cacao are seeds from a small tropical American evergreen tree, from which cocoa, cocoa butter, and chocolate are made. The tree that bears cacao seeds, which are contained in large, oval pods that grow on the trunk. It is now cultivated mainly in West Africa.Cacao is high in calcium which I crave more of being that I omit dairy out of my diet and lifestyle. Another great reason to sip on some cacao is for the anti-depressive benefits. Yes! Serotonin, Tryptophan, Theobromine, and Phenylethylamine. These chemicals have been known to make you feel good. You can purchase the same cacao I'm sipping on from Cacao Laboratory here or you can check out these brands on Amazon below.
Happy Sipping my friends!

ps.- I added Coconut Manna and Coconut Oil and whipped it over low heat to create a nice divine creamy texture pictured here that just gives you all kinds of Hygge. Oh and you need a hint of sweet try some Agave or Honey.
