My Journey with Sacred Cacao
Two years ago, I stepped into my first Sacred Cacao Circle. The circle was ripe with possibility…..and so was I. I was greeted there by some of my dearest friends who had experienced cacao in the Highlands of Guatemala with a man many of them referred to as the Chocolate Shaman….also known as Keith. He was there that night, in the little city in Texas that I call home. The Chocolate Shaman had come to us.
As I drank my first cup of warm cacao, I felt my heart open. My body felt relaxed and alive all at the same time. Keith made his way to sit with each of us, encouraged us to work with one another, to simply hold space, and not try to heal or fix. He was showing us that we each had what we needed already. We didn’t need someone to swoop in and make it all better. We could do that and the Cacao would help.
The Cacao opens the heart ….literally oxygenates the blood. And if you think in spiritual terms, you may also feel it working to open the figural heart or energetic heart as well.
I bought my first batch of cacao that night. It is very different than any chocolate you can buy in the store. It has properties that aren’t refined out of it. I began drinking it on my own and with friends. Keith came back through a month or so later, and I knew my intention for that circle was to gain his blessing for working with cacao in circles not much different than his. I walked away knowing that Cacao work would be an important part of my life journey.
I have been using Cacao weekly as part of a group intensive held by RevShar from Lucid Waking. The work has been deep and cleansing. This year I have head several private Sacred Cacao circles. My calling is to hold a circle open for those who wish to connect with their heart. The Cacao just can’t help but open us up there. Although, I will say, it will not take us where we do not wish to go. It isn’t forceful like that. It works better with a slight smile and the energy of letting go or doing nothing. Then it seems to just flow you into a new understanding of yourself and Existence.
An Invitation to Tend to Your Sacred Heart
Recently, the desire to share Cacao with others has become even stronger. As I have been enjoying my journey with the local Red Tent gathering, I decided to bring the Sacred Cacao out with these ladies. Red Tent is open to any woman.
