A Powerful Heart Healing Medicine
​
Mother Cacao has been considered by the Mayans as a sacred Plant Medicine for thousands of years. Her native home is Central & South America, and you will usually see Cacao from Peru, Guatemala & Ecuador and sometimes Colombia and Costa Rica too. Her medicine is now spreading around the planet, helping heal the hearts of many, in a beautiful and profound way. She is here to help each and every one of us to step into our truth and authenticity, with the deepest and most purest Love.

​
She is the true medicine of the physical and emotional Heart, helping each individual who works with her to open their hearts in a profound way. Old emotional blockages may be released, old patterns of behaviour broken, trauma brought to the surface for healing and an inevitable raise in the vibration for the person receiving her medicine. SO much Love is poured into every aspect of your being when you begin to work with Cacao, that there becomes no space for the lower vibrational energies of fear, shame or guilt to reside. By drinking her as a daily elixir or journeying with her during ceremony, you will begin a deep and powerful healing journey into the depths of your soul. You will have the opportunity to love yourself more than you ever have, meaning you will be able to love others more fully too.

What is Ceremonial Cacao?
Ceremonial Criollo Cacao comes from bio-diverse forests, with trees that live and work symbiotically with each other. This provides the highest levels of nutrients, medicinal properties and habitats for all types of wildlife. Most commercial chocolate comes from mono-crop cacao trees, that are farmed purely for the cacao, often without regard for the ecosystems or surrounding nature, plants or wildlife. Ceremonial grade cacao (and Wild Soul Cacao!) is naturally higher in medicinal properties and nutrients than regular chocolate or low grade cacao and is grown with reverence, honour, and respect by the native farmers. This means that the energy and vibration of the cacao beans is pure, clear and powerful!
​
If you haven't heard of her before, she is the rawest, most pure form of the chocolate. Ceremonial Cacao is created from the 100% raw beans, which are harvested and fermented and then ground down into a paste using the naturally occurring cacao butter. This paste then solidifies into what we call Ceremonial Cacao paste, which usually looks like a beautiful, chocolatey block. Her colours and textures can vary depending on the grower, her place of origin and the cacao butter content within the particular strain of Cacao. From here, she can then be chopped or grated with love and intention, and made into a powerful elixir to open your heart and connect you to the truth that lies within your being.

Cacao contains phenyethylamine, the chemical produced when falling in love, helping to enhance the mood and create feelings of euphoria and joy!

The tryptophan in Cacao increases the production of serotonin, which boosts the mood, regulates sleep, eases pain and balances the apatite.
