✨ How to do a self-ceremony ✨
A lot of people have been getting cacao to experience it by themselves lately. I love seeing cacao in your home (like in this pic from ), few things bring me more joy that knowing that my friends are taking time to be with themselves.
How to make a ceremony at home? It’s really yours to create, there is no script. The simpler the better. My one rule would be: keep that phone away.
Here is how I like doing a ceremony for myself:
1. Set up your space 🕯️
If you like incense, Palo Alto, frankincense, candles… just lit what speaks to you. The fragrance helps signal my body and mind we’re entering into a sacred time.
2. Get comfy 🥰
Prepare your favorite pillow and blanket, eye mask, set your phone on silent (maybe the most important thing to do), wear that ugly sweater, those fluffy mismatched socks, anything that sounds comfy to you!
3. Drink your cacao mindfully and connect to mama cacao ☕️
Smell it: can you smell the soil of the rainforest? Hear the birds? Feel the sun on your skin? Activate your senses to connect to the cacao tree.
Share your intention with mama cacao: what guidance are you looking for today? Try and drop any expectations. Every ceremony will be different, but likely exactly what you need.
4. Put on a 1-hour playlist and lie down 🎶
It will be the hardest and most important work: staying with yourself and your thoughts, undistracted.
Here are a few prompts to help you connect to yourself:
✨ How to you feel right now?
✨ What are the emotions at the surface of your heart? Unpeel the layers, one by one.
✨ What could help you feel 10% better?
This is the time to engage with mama cacao, keep coming back to your heart and be curious of the thoughts, emotions and images that might arrive. Those are her messages.
I’ve linked a Spotify playlist for you in my linktree 😉
If you’re struggling, ask yourself why giving yourself an unconditional 1 hour of time is so hard. This is a gift you’re doing to yourself, but this type of gift can be the hardest to accept. Be curious why 🙂
Once the playlist is over, thank mama cacao for her caring love and yourself for this quiet introspective time 💖
