Welcome.
The intention of this meditation is to allow you to take some space to connect with your heart,
With cacao,
And to take some time to just be.
So take a seat,
Making sure that you are in a space without any distractions,
Tuning in to your breath,
And allow yourself to gently close your eyes,
Connecting to that inner world,
Your inner wisdom,
Allowing anything that happened prior to you sitting down here with your cacao to just be.
Now taking a deep breath in through the nose,
And a deep breath out through the mouth,
Allowing that rhythm of your breath to just be whatever it needs to be for today.
And now feeling that heartbeat,
That space that we'll be working with today,
And how deeply it connects you down to Pachimama,
To Mother Earth,
Imagining that there is a string,
A beat,
That beat of your beautiful heart drum connecting to that beat,
That drum of Pachimama's heart,
And how grounding that feels.
Allowing yourself to connect to the aroma of cacao,
Placing her close to your heart,
And if you need to open your eyes for this part,
It's okay to find your cup,
But then allow yourself to settle back,
Closing your eyes and placing her to your heart,
Connecting to the aroma,
That grounding beautiful aroma.
And before we drink her with our intention,
We know that the elements are always alive within us,
And so before we drink,
We say thank you.
Thank you to the heart of the earth,
Gracias al corazón de la tierra.
Thank you to the heart of the water,
Gracias al corazón del agua.
Thank you to the heart of the fire,
Gracias al corazón del fuego.
Thank you to the heart of the air,
Gracias al corazón del aire.
Thank you to the teachers,
To the ancestors,
To the elders who've passed on this beautiful plant medicine from generation to generation,
This wisdom.
Thank you to the guardians and the protectors of the lands.
Thank you.
Thank you to the spirit of cacao for allowing us to open our hearts and speak from that space and also listen from that space.
And with that,
We take a first sip and connect to that beautiful plant ally.
As we deeply connect to her,
We imagine this beautiful light in front of us,
This warming light exuding warmth and love.
Allow it to connect to every cell of your body,
Giving it the love,
The connection,
The energy,
Deepening the intention of this moment to just be.
Feeling how even in this moment,
Present time,
Grounding,
Your energy wants to be pulled down into grounded.
And so allow those rays of sun,
Of healing energy light to be poured into you and down through you and to the earth.
Feel how connected you are to your present time,
To the earth.
And even if your thoughts are running a little wild,
It's okay.
Just always know that your breath can take you right back to present time.
And so tuning in to that breath once again,
With a big inhale and a deep exhale,
Bringing us back to present time,
Connecting to that energy that's ever flowing within you.
How do you want to feel for the rest of the day?
How can you show up in your heart fully?
How can you allow for the emotions to come through you?
And how can you open it up a little bit more,
That beautiful heart energy,
Connecting to love,
Allowing for that frequency to continue throughout the day,
Becoming aware of the things that are coming up,
Giving it love,
And just letting it be as you are right now and how connected you are to this moment.
There's no need to rush,
Just being present and slowing down,
Listening to that inner wisdom of what you need.
What do you need for today?
How can you show up for yourself?
What do you need to take off of the list so that you can be as present during the day as you are right now?
And as we start to connect back into our space,
Allow yourself to give yourself a big hug for showing up for yourself,
Connecting to cacao in your heart and to the elements.
Thank you so much for taking the time to meditate with me and with cacao.
And if you feel called to journal on what came up,
I encourage you to do that.
And if it feels like you just want to take a nap,
I encourage you to do that too.
Have a beautiful rest of the day and enjoy.
