How to make Ceremonial Cacao Drink (Mon’s Recipe)

Cacao is so incredibly powerful in her healing abilities, she will support you and nurture, she will offer insights that you are ready to receive, and guide you through your emotional body, assisting you to feel and express what is being held in the body so that you can experience freedom, spaciousness, and inner peace.
WHAT IS CEREMONIAL CACAO
Ceremonial Grade Cacao is a plant medicine that shamans have worked with and shared for thousands of years to clear negativity, to open, clear and heal the heart space, to bring forth invaluable insights and healing to those who consume and honour this sacred medicine.
Ceremonial Cacao is processed in the traditional shamanic way, honouring the medicine and the community who grows and processes the beans with pure loving intention.
We use Seleno Health Cacao, we connect with Corin & Sally at Lunasa Festival and fell in love with their Cacao. She offers a supportive and nurturing energy as we journey within the heart space.

Benefits of Cacao
~ High in antioxidants, supporting cardio-vascular & cognitive health, and improves blood flow.
~ High in magnesium, which many of us in the western world are highly deficient in, magnesium helps us to come out of the sympathetic nervous system, to relax the body and mind, offering mental clarity and focus, as well as improving sleep.
~ Neurotransmitters and anti-depressants, helps to activate the natural happy chemicals in our brain (serotonin, dopamine, anandamide and phenylethylamine ), elevating your mood and helping to naturally alleviate depression.

Highly recommend this cacao, its an NZ local business who go to Peru themselves and work with the community to harvest this incredible cacao. I met Corin and Sally at the Lunasa festival in Golden Bay and loved the product so much that I decided to I wanted to work with them and offer their ceremonial cacao and use it in our ceremonies that we offer in our monthly workshops

I read never to heat it too much as it destroys nutrients is that not true?

[@moniquecarmela]

I wouldn't overheat it, I just bring to the boil and remove from heat straight away, do what feels right for you :)
