In some of our events at The Integrated Human we include a cup of the most delicious and different cacao you have had. Why? Because cacao, when properly grown and properly treated bring both nutrition and a feeling of calm and openheartedness.
So – what’s up with the cacao? We use a special type of cacao, called ceremonial Cacao and only the original brand, Keith’s Cacao. Basically is whole, wild- and organically grown cacao beans, that are fermented and ground up. Nothing removed and nothing added.
The intentions is to draw benefits from the lightly psychoactive chemicals in this cacao that relaxes us, lowers muscle tension and blood pressure, clears our mind and moves us towards a state of heartfelt joy.
Sometimes we add Cacao in our NIT/TRE, Soma sessions and events like Awaken. We usually start by enjoying a mug of cacao while receiving some good information or just reflecting together. Then we follow up with other activities like NIT/TRE, Soma, inner journeys, guided meditations, etc.
Finely chop Cacao from the block, ca 28 gram per person. Add water (we like almond milk), honey and spices.
Warm carefully, never boil and stir until smooth. Serve and enjoy!
Avoid using cow’s milk here because it reduces the effect of the antioxidants in the cacao. Otherwise we are great fans of cow’s milk.
Use all your senses, feel the heat of the cup, absorb the aroma, hold you intention in you mind and heart.
Sip it and enjoy the flavor, drink it slowly, feel it in your body and become aware of how you respond, Enjoy!
