Ceremonial Grade Cacao

“Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is unlearning fear and prejudices and accepting love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.”
― Marianne Williamson

Cacao is known as medicine that opens a new depth of human connection, both to yourself and those around you.

It is a very ancient and powerful medicine considered the food of the Gods.  

As Cacao moves through the physical body, its active pounds encourage muscular tensions and energetic blocks to relax and release.

Cacao is an adaptogen, ready to meet each person where they are and bring them what they most need. It can bring the subconscious beliefs or unconscious shadow aspects to the surface, inviting you to look at and work with them.  

Keith’s Ceremonial Cacao contains certain compounds that work with neurotransmitters in the brain providing a sense of bliss, love, and happiness.       

                     

 Cacao is a super food full of antioxidants and unique phytochemical, which help human bodies heal and perform more easily.

                                                                                                               

We work with Keith's Ceremonial Grade Cacao an amazing source of vitamins, carbohydrates, protein, minerals, and fiber. 

The four main compounds of Ceremonial Grade Cacao are:

Magnesium  

A nutrient that helps the muscles in the human body to relax and regulate our nervous systems and the body's blood sugar levels and blood pressure.

Theo-bromine the·o·bro·mine - Greek (Theos-god) (bro-ma - food) - FOOD OF THE GODS
Theo-bromine is a bitter compound obtained from the Cacao seed with a chemical similar in structure to caffeine but not to be confused with it, it also dilates our cardiovascular system, opening our blood vessels, and sending more oxygenated blood around our body. This brings us that steady alertness, lift, and focus. 

Phenylethylamine (PEA)

The ‘love molecule’ also known as 'the natural ecstasy', increases our dopamine levels bringing us that joyful and fuzzy feeling from within.

PEA is a chemical that is often associated with the feeling of LOVE 

Anandamide = Ananda is the Sanskrit word for BLISS.

Is the neurotransmitter and 'bliss chemical' which produces that feeling of expansion and euphoria. (fact - Anandamide is only found in two places; cacao, and the human brain!)

Cacao Ceremony is a widely used term that generally refers to the use of cacao in a respectful way, usually with the intention of personal growth. Keith’s Cacao has partnered with practitioners around the world who have been working extensively with Keith s Cacao and who understand the importance that ceremonial grade cacao plays in the shifting of consciousness happening right now around our planet. 

Ceremonies of many kinds are a traditional and intrinsic part of every culture on Earth. From birth, death, initiations, and weddings there are ceremonies performed for many reasons in our world today. Particularly in more ancient times, there was a greater understanding of the need for sacred ceremonies in every community. 

Using cacao as a plant medicine facilitator in this process helps to promote self-love, kindness, compassion, patience, and understanding within the group that takes part in these gatherings. These events, gatherings, and ceremonies help create a more heart-centered atmosphere.

 

What to expect…

The Cacao Ceremony is unique and transformative, in which the medicine will help release blockages from the heart center and look at your ego closer with love and compassion knowing that you are the creator of your own universe. With Cacao you are lucid, perceive normally, and can perform functions like driving without impairment. The experience cacao creates is somatic (of the body) rather than hallucinogenic.

While some participants do “see” visions, they are more like something experienced in a lucid dream. This medicine is gentle and will bring what you will need.  Our Cacao Ceremonies will be a mixture of Intention, Essential Oils, Sound/Music, Reiki, and Guided Meditation.

What is Rapé?

Rapé is a fine powder made from tobacco together with a compound of tree bark, herbs, and other plants. When inhaled, Rape has healing and ritual effects.

The use of traditional Rape began thousands of years ago in the indigenous tribes of South America. Tobacco is an entheogen medicine, that can cause a feeling of calmness, awareness, and expansion. The deep cleansing of this Sacred medicine can cause some reactions such as excessive sweating, vomiting, weakness, and diarrhea. 

The Rapé is considered a sacred medicine and when used correctly, with supervision, it does not cause dependency as it promotes the healing of diseases such as sinusitis and spiritual healing.

The Rapé Medicine carries inside a loving, firm, and direct energy that shows you the truth within. When the Rapé enters the nostrils you will feel discomfort, a sort of burning session passing through the nostrils and the brain but that will go away in a few minutes. 

In other words, a tobacco ritual is an act of courage and trust between those who apply it and all those who receive it.

This is a Sacred Plant that must be taken with Respect and understanding.

Benefits of Using Rapé in a Ceremonial or Therapeutic  Environment

• Helps focus and sharpen the mind.
• Detoxes both body and mind and clears your energetic field. 
• Clears sinuses of mucus and bacteria, thereby helping to combat colds and respiratory ailments.
• Provides a calming, grounding effect on the emotions that lasts much longer that the initial sensation.
• Can be used in conjunction with other treatments for addiction and mental illness.

Sananga

Sananga is a very powerful sacred eye medicine made from a shrub called “Apocynaceae” from the Amazon jungle.
The beautiful spirit of Sananga assists us in deeply cleansing on the energetic, physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Also, it assists us to unblock, re-align, open-up all the chakras, and release any stuck energy and sickness.

The bark of this special shrub’s root is used to make these sacred eye drops, which are traditionally used by the indigenous peoples to lift “panema” – it can be thought of as bad luck, depression, laziness, sadness, or negative energetic influences, which attract difficulties and disease. Several tribes in the Amazon use Sananga to improve their hunting skills, giving them night vision.

On the energetic level, Sananga profoundly helps to open up the inner sight, the third eye, and visions activate the pineal gland, clears any mental confusion, releases negative thoughts, and deeply cleanses the whole aura from the inside out. - From-  AYAM LIFE is a Ceremony
