Create your own Cacao Intention-setting Ritual at Home

1. Create a ceremony space. 

Create a sacred and quiet space to hold your cacao/intention-setting ceremony where you can tune in and be totally uninterrupted. Light a candle or set up an altar and fill it with the objects that invoke calm and joy (such as candles, crystals, sage, et al.) Also have journal and pen at hand to write down your intentions or any insights that come during the ceremony.

2. Prepare your cacao with loving intention

• 1TBSP cacao p (0.5oz) for a small daily dose

• 1/2 cup of hot water (170F) - not boiling

• your choice of natural sweetener (honey, maple syrup, brown or coconut sugar)

• your choice of milk

--------------------------------------------

• Gently warm your water and/or milk in a pot

• Add your desired quantity of cacao

• Mix it in with a frother or in a blender to reach desired consistency

• Pour into your favorite mug

• Add sweetener or an optional spice of your choice (a pinch of cardamom, maca, cinnamon, vanilla, turmeric, cayenne pepper, ginger, nutmeg)

• You can also add coconut oil or macadamia nut butter for a creamier consistency

3. Release any thoughts or worries that you have in your mind.

4. Goals and Intentions

Think about your goals and intentions and what you want to bring into your life and whatever your heart is feeling called upon (joy, prosperity, bliss, happiness, dream career, etc.) I encourage you to write them down in your journal and hold them in your mind as they are already in your life. Choose 1-3 intentions to focus on and hold in the sacred space of the ceremony.

5. Drink your Cacao

To begin, close your eyes, take a couple of cleansing breaths and imagine a white/golden light entering your body through your crown chakra and moving into your heart and spreading into every part and cell of your body. Take your first sip of cacao. Drink it slowly and mindfully. With each sip imagine drinking the intention in. For instance, you can silently imagine drinking in “the highest frequency of the universe, i.e. love”, “joy”, “abundance”, etc.

6. Integrate. 

As the cacao begins to yield its effects on your heart and your body, you may want to journal and jot down anything that comes to mind. You may gain more clarity around a specific intention or have a true AHA moment. This is all a part of the heart-opening process and cacao magic.

7.Closing

To close the cacao ceremony, place your hands gently over your heart and say, “thank you”
