Since Ancient times, cultures have used cacao during gatherings, meetings, to invite community and even bring nations together. Cacao is a powerful Heart medicine and made the connections between others stronger and at a state of peace and love.
The preparation of cacao is a long sacred process starting with Mother Earth. The tree is then cared for and harvested when ready. Women mainly harvest and prepare the cacao because ancient cultures believe that the cacao represents the feminine. It is then carefully grounded and prepared in water in a ceremonial setting.
Cacao is a sacred medicine and can provide profound healing if one connects and listens to what the cacao has to offer.

My personal experience with cacao has been vast! There would be times where I would experience calmness, total bliss, creativity, and insightfulness. There would also be times where I would feel anxious and nervous. Those are the times when I know that I have blockages in expressing myself and the cacao spirit is bringing that to my awareness. Either way, it is a blessing because I get to become aware of what needs to be worked on, or if I should just enjoy the flow of my creative expressiveness!
