Intention and Presence

Ahhh… Cacao Ceremony!But I’ve had chocolate so many times and never felt anything special…That’s what people tell me — very often — and I listen with a smile in my heart, because I used to think the same, years ago.

Well, just as every morning shower can become a ritual of purification, in life everything depends on INTENTION and the recognition of the SPIRIT you are connecting with.

I really love a phrase by Albert Einstein:

“You can live life as though nothing is a miracle, or as though everything is a miracle.”

In the same way, within the ancestral Indigenous worldview, everything is part of the magic of Creation. Everything is Sacred, and we can connect and communicate with every being in this great web of magic.I would say that we must…

Recognize, honor, and greet the spirit of water — that’s what turns an ordinary shower into a ritual of purification.

For the Pre-Hispanic Mayan tradition, in southern Mexico and Guatemala, the Spirit of Cacao is feminine, and her mission is to guard the Heart.She has a voice and love for us — an embrace and words of guidance — when we allow ourselves to receive her.She brings deep healing and rekindles the fire of our heart’s longings.

Intention makes the difference.The connection and dialogue with the spirit of the medicine open the portal… and the facilitator’s spiral holds the energy — of both the group and the portal itself.

Let me know how it feels next time you drink a beautiful cacao and begin a conversation with her. 🌿🤎
