The benefits I’ve personally experienced are enumerable so let me rather stick to the facts and you can explore the benefits for yourself. There is a reason that Cacao has been used as a sacred plant medicine for thousands of years so let’s pull the curtain back slightly on Mama Cacao’s secrets and see what’s actually going on in those magical beans.
Please note all information is based on raw organic ceremonial grade Cacao which is the only Cacao that will ever be used in my ceremonies.
Cacao and the Heart: Cacao’s positive impact on the heart can be found not only on an emotional or spiritual level, but also physically. Studies have shown that regularly consuming cacao is good for the physical health of your heart and can reduce your chances of suffering from heart disease. In particular, cacao can improve the functioning of blood vessels, reduce insulin resistance, reduce blood pressure and reduce both LDL and HDL cholesterol. These findings were confirmed in a study by The American Medical Journal of Clinical Nutrition, which found that cacao has statistically significant effects on the above risk factors for heart disease. The reasons for this are still being investigated, but it’s thought that the high concentrations of flavanols and antioxidants found in raw cacao are the cause. Spiritual and Emotional benefits: Ancient Indigenous cultures within Central and South America have understood for thousands of years that plant medicines come with the highest form of intelligence, an intelligence that when consumed can communicate with us directly. Mama Cacao works by assisting us in releasing old narratives and patterns that no longer serve us or which are operating beneath our awareness in the subconscious. By sitting in Ceremony with Cacao we may experience profound emotional release and healing, as Cacao is the foremost Spirit medicine for the heart, encouraging love, understanding and forgiveness to penetrate our being at ever deepening levels. Furthermore Mama Cacao connects us with unknown aspects of ourselves and re-establishes a profound awareness and respect for the gifts and magic of the natural world that we are a part of.
