Meditation with Shaman Cacao

Preparation

1. Gathering Ingredients :

   • 25-30 grams of Shaman Cacao per person
   • Warm water (not boiling, about 50-60°C)
   • Optional additions: cinnamon, cayenne pepper, vanilla, honey or syrup

2. Kitchen supplies :

   • A pan to heat water
   • A bowl or cup
   • A spoon or whisk for stirring

Preparation process

1. Heating the Water :

   • Heat the water in the pan until it is just below boiling point (50-60°C). This ensures that the nutrients and flavor of the cocoa are retained.

2. Cocoa Add :

   • Add the Shaman Cacao to a bowl or cup.
   • Pour the warm water over the cocoa.

3. To blend :

   • Stir the mixture well with a spoon or a whisk until the cocoa is completely dissolved.
   • Optionally add cinnamon, cayenne pepper, vanilla and a sweetener to taste.

Ritual and Consumption

1. Creating a Sacred Space :

   • Find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed.
   • If necessary, light candles, burn incense or use essential oils to create a serene environment.

2. Setting Intention :

   • Before you drink the cocoa, take a moment to set your intention. This could be, for example, to find more inner peace, to open yourself up to insights, or to connect with your higher self.

3. Meditation or Ritual :

   • Sit comfortably and take small sips of the cocoa while focusing on your breathing.
   • Close your eyes and feel the warmth and energy of the cocoa flowing through your body.
   • Let your thoughts come and go without judgment, and stay focused on your intention.

4. Gratitude :

   • End your session by taking a moment of gratitude. Thank the cacao, the earth, and yourself for this experience.

After the Meditation

1. Reflection :

   • Take a few minutes to write down your thoughts and feelings in a journal. What have you experienced? What insights have you gained?

2. Hydration :

   • Drink some water to stay hydrated after the ceremony.

Tips

• Regularity : Integrating ceremonial cacao into your spiritual routine can have profound benefits. Consider doing this weekly or monthly.
• Group sessions : Share the experience with friends or a spiritual community to strengthen a sense of connection and shared intentions.
