Guided Cacao Meditation + Breathwork

So welcome everybody to morning cacao meditation.

A little breath work to start up your day and awaken the heart.

The heart of a warrior.

A warrior that moves in the service of love,

Of peace,

And therefore has infinite,

Infinite courage.

This is a special breath work session that I prepared to help you awaken that heart of a warrior within you to help you move out into the world to be a beacon of light in this chaotic world that we're living in today.

So hopefully you've got some cacao ready to begin this meditation.

So we're going to start off with a little bit of cacao and I will guide you through a simple meditation to connect with the cacao.

We'll take a few sips and we'll do a little breath work session.

We'll take about 15 minutes of the breath work and then you can from there move out into your day finishing your cacao.

You'll feel a little bit more awake.

Your heart will be open and you'll be able to move through the day with that connection with your heart.

Your heart is a little going to be a little bit more awakened after this and so it'll be a little bit easier throughout the day to tune in to your heart,

To receive the signals,

Receive the messages,

Receive the guidance from the inner wisdom that you have.

So I invite you to grab your cup of cacao.

I've got mine here today.

My special Casey's cacao,

Casey's magical cacao.

Whatever cacao you have today,

I just invite you to bring that mug up close to your heart.

We'll start by just tuning in to this special medicine that we're so lucky to have access to.

It wasn't always the case and so we'll take a few moments just to honor the sacred medicine that has found its way into our lives and we're so blessed.

I hear so many stories from all over the world of people and their stories of how they were lucky enough to be introduced to this special medicine and so consider yourself lucky to have had the opportunity to bring this medicine into your life,

This sacred medicine of the heart.

So bring that close to your heart and just take a few moments to just close your eyes,

Begin to breathe gently and slowly and maybe you'll feel the warmth of this cacao against your chest,

The vibration of this.

We're going to slow down a little bit,

Starting off our day by bringing ourselves into that little bit slower rhythm of the heart.

Tune into your heart.

And for this session,

I want to invite you to ask something of your heart.

Maybe there's some guidance that you've been seeking,

Some answers you've been looking for.

Maybe there's something hasn't been quite feeling right.

You've been sick.

Maybe there's something going on with your body.

Maybe there's something unanswered in your mind,

Something you're seeking clarity on and just take a moment to tune into your heart and ask for this guidance.

Your heart knows the way.

Your heart has the answers.

Your heart can show this to you.

If you can slow down and you can tune in,

Your heart will always be there.

It will always,

Always show you the right way.

So we take some time to honor that,

Activating that with this beautiful medicine of cacao.

And I'll bring the mug up a little bit closer to your nose and begin to breathe in the aroma,

Receiving the sacred spirit,

The spirit of cacao.

Breathing deeply in through the nose and on the exhale,

Gently blowing that breath back into the mug.

A communication of sorts,

A communication of spirit.

Breathing in the spirit of cacao and sending your spirit,

Your breath,

Gently blowing that into the cacao.

Breathing in through the nose,

Filling up the lungs and holding it for just a moment in the center of your chest and your heart and adjusting your posture.

A little bit confident posture,

Exuding a little inner strength and gently,

Softly blowing that breath back into the mug.

Taking time to honor your journey with cacao.

How did cacao come into your life?

What are some of the memories you have of chocolate or cacao throughout your life that have brought you joy,

Connected you with people,

Or connected you with yourself?

Just be with this memory,

This thought,

This vision while you continue to communicate with cacao.

Feeling gratitude in your heart and sending that back with your breath to the cacao.

And now bringing the mug back down to your heart.

With your chest meeting the cacao,

A little bit of confidence,

A little bit of inner strength,

A little bit of that warrior essence within you.

For ages,

For centuries,

Cacao has been seen as a warrior drink,

A warrior medicine.

It was said to give the great warriors of ancient Mesoamerica all the energy that they needed to move forward through the day without needing anything else.

Their powerful hearts leading them down the path.

The powerful warriors drinking their cacao.

Take a moment to reflect on this.

Imagine this and imagine yourself as a warrior,

An ancient warrior preparing to drink your daily cacao as you move forward in the world with an open heart and a powerful inner force that can work through any obstacles,

Any adversity,

And any challenges that will arise before you today.

And with that,

I invite you to bring your mug up,

Take your first sip of the day of this powerful medicine.

Taking a moment to savor the flavors and the sacred spirit before swallowing.

I invite you to keep your eyes closed while you take a few more sips of your cacao.

Continuing to hold this vision of yourself as this warrior,

Surrounded by jungle.

You sit,

Holding your medicine,

Holding your nutrients,

The nutrition that you need,

The force that will carry you through the day.

In Spanish,

Los Alimentos.

All that you need,

For you already have the force within you and the cacao just helps to activate that warrior spirit within you.

Continue breathing and with each breath,

Expanding that,

Gaining a little bit more confidence,

A little bit more strength with each breath.

Breathing in the smell of the dense jungle.

You can bring a hand to your heart to just feel and try and connect with and listen to your heartbeat,

The rhythm of life,

As you continue sipping your medicine,

As you continue activating the warrior within you.

And take a moment to reflect on a recent challenge,

A recent adversity that you've overcome,

That you've been resilient through,

To make it to this day today and recognize that warrior spirit within you,

The ability to overcome that adversity,

To face the challenges head-on and to make it through to another day,

Ready to continue your journey forward,

Your path to greatness,

Your path to becoming the hero of your story and a legend that will inspire others along the way.

Recognize this within you,

The seed planted deep within and as you take another sip of your cacao,

Essentially energetically watering that seed and watching it sprout and grow a little bit more with each sip and with each breath,

Feeding that seed,

The seed of the warrior within you.

And now,

Take a moment to you can hold your cacao with you through this breath work session if you like or you can set the cacao down and just really focus on your breath,

Whatever you feel more comfortable with.

And with this breath,

You'll be breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth,

Following the rhythm set forth by the music that you'll start to hear as you hear the sounds of the jungle begin to come through.

As we begin this journey,

Your warrior journey,

Beginning another day with your warrior exercise to activate that seed within you,

That force within you,

The force of a warrior.

Bring your awareness to that with your eyes closed and begin to just breathe into that.

And if you still have your cacao,

You can take another sip,

Watering that seed.

As we begin to breathe and activate that warrior essence within you,

If your mind starts to wander,

Just gently bring it back to that seed,

That force that lies within the center of your chest,

Deep within your heart.

And we'll begin with a rhythmic breathing where you're going to feel your fullness and feel your emptiness,

For you lie somewhere in between that,

The space between.

So activate that,

Breathe in,

Pause for just a moment,

Feel your fullness,

Your strength.

Exhale,

Get down to emptiness,

Feel your softness,

Your gentleness.

The warrior,

The true warrior,

Has both strength and gentleness and softness.

So this is an exercise of finding that within you,

Both sides of that,

The fierce warrior,

The strong warrior,

The gentle,

Soft,

Creative warrior,

The lover.

Feeling that seed,

That strength within you,

Feeling that,

Holding in that,

Exuding that confidence,

Softening back down to your gentleness.

Expanding that warrior essence,

Your heart opening a little bit more with each inhale,

And then softening and sending love out into the world with each exhale.

That light within you expanding on the inhale,

Strengthening,

Growing brighter,

And then sending out that pure love,

That unconditional love of the warrior out into the world.

And now we'll connect the breaths,

Breathing in,

Breathing out,

Beginning to find that rhythm,

And just feeding that seed,

That force within you.

With every inhale,

That light grows brighter,

And with every exhale,

Feeling that energy grow,

That strength,

That force.

Visualizing it expand with the inhale.

Maintaining that sensation,

That visualization of you as that warrior,

Surrounded by that dense jungle,

That powerful source of energy,

That source of wisdom.

When you disconnect from the matrix and the technology,

You can connect with your true nature.

You access infinite wisdom within you.

You have all the answers within you.

Return to that question you asked your heart,

Find that guidance within.

For the warrior has the answers within himself,

Within herself,

And seeks to serve.

Feed that confidence and just hold in confidence for just a moment.

Feel that strength,

Squeeze the body,

Pound your chest,

And exhale out.

And just hold,

And emptiness,

And pause,

And soften,

Relax the body,

And just allow that part of you to just be.

And when you're ready,

Feed that seed again.

Breathe in a new sense of confidence,

A new warrior force.

Breathe it in with a strong inhale,

And breathe it right into the center of the chest.

And hold in the heart.

Pound your chest three times,

And let out a strong exhale.

As we prepare one more time to go through this breathing round,

Strengthening that warrior essence within you,

And preparing yourself for this day.

Finding that space between the fullness and the emptiness that's available to you within the rhythm of the breath.

Connecting with your heart,

Seeking that guidance,

And what's the first thing that comes to mind when you tune into your heart,

And you return to that question that you asked?

Just soften,

And receive that guidance,

Receive the answers.

Whatever the first is on that,

It's your heart giving you guidance.

Relax the body,

And just receive moving service of love.

You don't need to be anything more than just your true self.

You are.

Pound your chest three times,

And exhale,

And release,

And relax into it.

And pause,

And just be.

For just a moment,

No need to breathe,

No need to do anything.

Connect with your depth,

Connect with your heart,

The only thing alive right now in you,

The only thing moving,

The beat.

Now take a deep breath in,

Holding in the center of your chest,

And feeling that new confidence within you,

A little bit new strength.

Feel it.

And when you're ready,

Softly,

Gently,

Exhale,

And fall back into the space between the middle ground,

Your truth.

And bring your hands to your heart for just a moment,

And feel,

Listen,

Receive.

And send love into your heart,

A little bit of self nourishment,

A little bit of self love,

A little bit of gratitude for yourself,

For showing up here today,

For taking a moment for yourself,

For listening to your heart.

For your heart knows the way,

And if you continue to follow that guidance,

If you continue to listen to that,

You'll tap in to your inner wisdom,

Your inner sense of abundance and prosperity,

And you'll have everything you need to create a life of joy.

But it takes a true warrior to follow that path,

To create the space for yourself,

To eliminate distractions.

Only a true warrior has that power to create the life they deserve.

Especially in times like these,

We need true strength that exudes from within,

True inner confidence to walk our path,

And you have that within you.

Taking a moment each day to reconnect with that,

And activate that,

Will lead you down the path to your own growth,

To your own abundance,

And to joy and connection.

So take one more deep breath into your heart,

With your hands on your chest,

Connecting with that inner confidence,

That inner strength that you have,

To create the space for yourself,

To love yourself,

And to walk your path.

And gently,

Softly,

Let it go,

Exhale,

And just return to your truth,

Gently opening your eyes,

Feeling awakened to begin the day.

You're ready.

You're ready to take action today.

No matter what that is,

A small step forward,

Today's the day where you can begin or continue walking your path,

A little bit more confidently,

A little bit deeper connection to your heart.

And you can begin to create that,

Or continue to create that life that you deserve.

So thank you for joining me on this session today.

You can come back to your cacao and move out into your day with a little bit more love,

A little bit more of that heart strength,

And I hope that serves you.

So again,

Thank you for joining me.

I hope you have a beautiful day,

And I hope to have you come back real soon for another journey and another exploration to awaken and open the heart.

Much love and prosperity to you.

I'll see you soon.
