CACAO :: Chocolate Elixir “The Soul of Chocolate”

Cacao is known as a heart opening medicine that has been used by indigenous cultures since ancient times. Cacao beans constituted both a ritual beverage and a major currency system in pre-Columbian Meso- american civilizations.

The plant name “Theobroma” or Cacao (translating from the greek: theo = god and broma = food It is the perfect elixir for Movement, Play & Connection.

It is known to increase circulation, Energy, Elevate your mood, Boost Libido and is a natural aphrodisiac. It is known to induce a Euphoric state of Higher Consciousness & Bliss, bringing you into connection with your body and heart centre.

Though there is not much if any caffeine in Cacao, it does have Theobromine which has a similar effect on the body but does not cause the same harmful effects on the nervous system as caffeine.

With an array of organic spices and sweetener, we drink this food of the Gods in cups of roughly 25 – 30 grams of Raw Cacao Paste together in an opening circle to set our intentions for the evening.

Other Benefits of Cacao::

• Heart Opener
• Reduces Stress / Anti-Depressant
• 40 Times the Antioxidants of Blueberries
• Loaded with Magnesium & Iron
• Improve Brain Function
• Contains “Anandamide” ( A neurotransmitter which fills dopamine receptors in the brain, filling us with feeling of euphoria and bliss)
