Creating Your Own Cacao Practice

Creating Your Own Cacao Practice
3. Set your intention(s)
What is it you desire to experience with your KAKAO today? What is it you desire to create?
Sample intentions:
- My intention is to relax and let myself rest.
- My intention is to be present and quiet my mind
- My intention is to spark my creativity as I work on x, y, and z.
- My intention is to feel and let my emotions flow.
- My intention is to... you get the picture!
Set one intention or one hundred, it doesn't matter. Just make sure that whatever you intention is, it means something special to you.
4. Invite the Spirit of Cacao into your heart
Before you take your first sip, invite the essence of KAKAO into your body. Say "yes" to the Spirit of Cacao and welcome her into your heart. You can do this verbally out loud, or silently in your head. Prepare your body, heart, mind, and spirit to receive the KAKAO you are about to ingest.
5. Follow your intuition
Feel like dancing? Dance. Journaling? Journal. Working on your brand new passion project that's coming through? Work. No matter what you choose to do, let your intuition be your guide. There is no right or wrong way to work with KAKAO. There's only the way that feels best to you and your body today. Trust that.
Group Ceremonies
To have a ceremony with a group, make the KAKAO in a large pot & use an immersion blender if you have one. Sit in a circle. You may use the above structure as a guide. From there you can open up a sharing circle, allowing KAKAO to work its magic. Encourage everyone to share what's on their heart, what has been coming up for them lately, any intentions the group can hold space for, or whatever else you feel inspired to prompt.

Cacao Ceremony is also a great way to connect deeper with your romantic partner or to inspire heart-centered conversations with loved ones. Kids are welcome too!
