Cacao Love Affair

by Helena Mikhael

Dearest Chocolate Lovers,

I have discovered a new love, and I am sooo excited to share this with you!

Recently, I have picked up my sword and cut coffee out of my daily routine. I know, SHOCKER!!! The side effects left me depleted, tired, and aching with headaches. But along the way, I realized that when we are set upon creating healthier habits and removing things or people from our lives, an empty hole remains. My discovery over the years is that when there is a hole that leaves us feeling empty, we must take the time to replace it with something healthier for us—something more nourishing for our hearts.

So what did I do? I went on a hunt and asked myself, "Helena, what are you going to replace this caffeine fix with?" And just like that, the thought alone brought cacao into my life.

Not only did I explore different brands, but I also leveled up and discovered ceremonial-grade cacao. Let me tell you, the transformative power of ceremonial cacao, a sacred plant medicine used for centuries by indigenous cultures, spoke to my heart center and healed me on levels I didn't know were still waiting to be seen and spiritually awakened. And this wonderful replacement left me feeling more energetic, more in love and vibrant than ever.

BUT WAIT, there's more! Upon discovering this medicinal plant, I found incredible health benefits and a spiritual enlightenment in this extraordinary superfood. That’s right, a SUPERFOOD that added magic to my well-being.

Here is a quick share if you have not heard of this liquid MAGIC.

What is Ceremonial Cacao?

Ceremonial cacao is pure, minimally processed cacao sourced from the rich rainforests of Peru and Colombia. Unlike regular chocolate, this cacao retains its natural, potent nutrients and powerful energetic properties. Traditionally used by shamans and healers, ceremonial cacao is revered for its ability to open the heart, enhance meditation, and facilitate deep emotional and spiritual healing.

It gets better, I promise. Keep reading!!

Health Benefits of Ceremonial Cacao

  • Heart-Opening and Emotional Healing: A.K.A a HAPPY HEART. Ceremonial cacao contains theobromine, a gentle stimulant that increases blood flow to the heart, promoting a sense of warmth and openness. It helps release stored emotions and fosters a deeper connection to oneself and others.
  • Mood Enhancement: Known as the "bliss molecule," anandamide in cacao enhances mood and induces feelings of joy and contentment. It's a natural way to uplift your spirit and combat stress and anxiety.
  • Rich in Antioxidants: Cacao is one of the highest sources of antioxidants, which protect the body from free radicals, reduce inflammation, and support overall health.
  • Powerful Natural Relaxant: Magnesium in cacao helps to relax muscles and nerves, providing a sense of calm and relaxation, perfect for meditation and stress relief.
  • Supports Cardiovascular Health: Regular consumption of cacao can help lower cholesterol levels, improve blood circulation, and support heart health.
  • Enhanced Meditation and Spiritual Connection: The sacred properties of cacao enhance meditative practices, helping to quiet the mind, deepen inner awareness, and facilitate a stronger spiritual connection.

I encourage you to make ceremonial cacao a part of your daily spiritual practice. Start your day with a warm cup of cacao, setting intentions for heart healing and personal growth. Allow the gentle energy of cacao to guide you through meditation, helping you connect with your inner self and the universe.

Stay tuned for our upcoming “Cacao Ceremony” on the Summer Solstice, where we will gather by the Ottawa River to honor this sacred plant medicine. It is going to be a heart-opening event you won’t want to miss. You will discover a true love like no other, the most important of all loves, connecting you to the path of becoming and bringing you back home to yourself.
