Details
Our ancestral lineage are footprints that lead and guide us to all walks of life. They are the key holders to the mysteries of our existence. Through sacred rituals, we honor their wisdom, seek their guidance, and deepen our connection to the roots of our being. The Ancestral Cacao Ceremony is a journey of the heart, inviting participants to open themselves to healing, introspection, and spiritual awakening through the sacred medicine of cacao.
### History of Mayan Cacao
The use of cacao dates back over 3,000 years to the ancient Mesoamerican civilizations, particularly the Maya and Aztecs, who revered cacao as a divine plant. The Maya prepared cacao as a ceremonial drink, often mixed with spices such as chili, vanilla, and honey. They referred to it as "Ka’kau’" and used it in sacred rituals to honor the gods, connect with the spirit world, and cultivate inner wisdom. Cacao was known as the "food of the gods" and was believed to have mystical and healing properties. It was also used as currency and played a significant role in social and spiritual gatherings.
### Benefits of Cacao
Cacao is a powerful plant medicine that offers numerous physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits:
- Heart Opening: Cacao contains theobromine, a natural compound that stimulates circulation and enhances heart-centered energy.
- Emotional Release: It helps in processing emotions, fostering self-love, and releasing emotional blockages.
- Increased Clarity & Intuition: Cacao enhances meditation, allowing deeper connection with the self and spiritual realms.
- Physical Well-being: Rich in antioxidants, magnesium, and essential minerals, cacao nourishes the body and supports cardiovascular health.
