Caoco ceremony

Personal Intention setting

Active Breathwork Meditation

We will be working with one of the gentlest and kindest plant medicines, Cacao, to help us to open our hearts & connect more deeply to what is alive in us. Medicinal Cacao is a beautiful, powerful heart medicine which allows us to connect to ourselves, our hearts & our emotions in a deeper way. When consumed in a ceremonial dose, the medicine opens us to feelings of love & true connection. The Aztec and Mayan people worked with cacao as a natural remedy to a wide range of ailments such as fever, low mood & energy & to improve digestion.

Breathwork therapy is a practice in which we consciously activate the Breath in order to work through aspects of ourselves that are difficult to reach, aspects of ourselves which are holding us back from living, truly, honestly & fully. It can unblock stuck parts or ourselves that allow us to see with more clarity & awareness. The foundation of this BW is self- love which not only allows us to do the best we can for ourselves, but how this also connects to our relationships with others. Self love may seem cliche or self indulging but unless we can feel this connection to ourselves we cannot fully authentically love outside of ourselves.

Benefits of this BW practice:

* Regulates the Nervous Systems so there are less fluctuations in mood & more connection to our emotional wellbeing.

* Allows us to teach our system to be/live in the moment as opposed to ruminating about the past & worrying about the future.

* Allows us to see more clearly the truth in our lives rather than the story or narrative that we often convince ourselves is our reality.

* Allows us to see what is 'right' in our lives rather than how as humans we are programmed to see what is 'wrong', which can hold our bodies in 'fight or flight'/sympathetic response mode.

* Most importantly, it releases physical or emotional blockages in the body which are holding us back from living truly, freely & openly.

* Allows us to connect to people in a more conscious & connected way. This often results in the people in our lives changing & our relationships becoming clearer & easier.

* Helps us establish boundaries in our relationships so that we can have more autonomy & confidence in ourselves & trust our intuition.
