The ceremony

A sensorial meditation through the four elements

You will drink it during a sensorial meditation, travelling through the four elements in our body: a journey through all our senses, accompanied by prehispanic and medicine music.

It is very important to set an intention to work on during the ceremony. Cacao will help us reach our feelings and emotions easily, as it increases the connection between heart and mind: it stimulates the thymus gland, on top of our heart, and the pituitary and pineal glands in our brain.

It makes it easier to feel, think and express the same thing, in order to understand our emotions better and create the reality that we want more easily.

Earth is my body,
water my blood,
air is my breath,
fire my spirit.

The cacao

Organic cacao, completely handmade

Natural and organic cacao is completely handmade, following a special ancestral recipe. It is very different from the chocolate you buy at stores.

Ceremonial cacao has no milk and no sugar in it, so as not to cut its effects. Try the real, pure cacao: it will make you feel happy, peaceful, energetic and thankful for life.

More about cacao

The drink of the gods

The Aztecs learned from the Mayans how to grow and prepare it, and how to make the drink of the gods out of it. They used to call it cacahuat; when they extracted the bitter drink from its seeds they called it xocolatl, which is where the name chocolate comes from.

It is important to mention that it was regarded as a very rare concoction, reserved for and only consumed in those times by the emperor and the nobles.

Physical healing

What cacao does in the body

Cacao is a food rich in stimulating principles, giving energy for physical activity and maintaining mental acuity. It eliminates body pain and keeps the skin clear and without impurity.

Beta-endorphins

In cacao correctly prepared, with our recipe, we find a high level of theobromine, which releases beta-endorphins in our body. These hormones are directly responsible for a feeling of peace, tranquility, relaxation and joy.

It stimulates our kidneys and our central nervous system as well.

A feeling of constant love

Cacao contains little quantities of other endorphin-like substances, directly connected to emotional ecstasy, stimulating the pleasure centers and giving a feeling of constant love. For this reason, science has concluded that chocolate gives us a feeling of relaxation and of well-being.

Natural antioxidants

It contains natural antioxidants that help avoid heart illness and help prevent degenerative illness, cells aging and even cancer.

The sixth chakra

It works on our sphenoid bone, situated in the middle part of the base of our skull, home of the pituitary gland, which is stimulated thanks to the high level of theobromine contained in our ceremonial cacao. This will help open our third eye, the sixth chakra.
