One of the most beautiful things about cacao is its ability to bring us into the present moment. While many of us rush through our daily coffee or tea, cacao invites us to slow down, set an intention, and connect with our hearts.
Step 1: Preparing Your Cacao
Start by chopping your cacao—whether you do this fresh or pre-chop and store it is up to you. Heat water, being mindful not to boil it, as high temperatures can destroy cacao’s delicate properties. Add your favorite spices, like cinnamon, cardamom, or cayenne, and a natural sweetener such as local honey or maple syrup. A tip from Guatemala? Try adding a little tahini for extra creaminess and absorption.
Step 2: Setting Your Intention
Before sipping, take a moment to breathe, hold your cup, and set an intention. This could be gratitude, self-love, clarity, or anything your heart needs at the moment. Cacao acts as an amplifier, helping you connect deeper with yourself.
Step 3: Sipping with Presence
Drink your cacao slowly. Notice the flavors, the warmth, the way it moves through your body. This is your time—whether you journal, meditate, or simply sit in stillness, let cacao guide you into a space of connection and peace.
Your cacao ritual is personal—there’s no right or wrong way, only what feels aligned for you.dPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start writing!
