It is an Earth Medicine. A gift form Pachamama. The famous 'Chocolate Shaman' in Guatemala reminds us that an "Indigenous myth tells us whenever the balance between humans and nature becomes threatened, cacao comes from the rain-forest to open people's hearts and return the planet to harmony. It is "The Food for the Shift". It has mutiple possible benfits including opening the heart in relationship and community, deepening meditation, trance, journeying, inducing euphoria. It has a reputation as a safe and gentle aphrodisiac, increasing sensitivity and passion. It nourishes the body and heart in yoga and dance and has numerous health benefits including: Protein and healthy fats, essential vitamins and minerals (such as magnesium, vitamin C, natural sulfur, B-complex vitamins and iron). Studies link it to lower risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and obesity. It is good for the heart, increasing blood flow and adding vitality and energy to our bodies. AND it contains powerful anti-oxidants (compounds that boost the immune system). In short it is a SUPER FOOD that nourishes your body, opens your heart and lets your Spirit Soar. ***IMPORTANT** Antidepressants do NOT mix with the tryptophan and MAO (Monoamine Oxidase) inhibitors in this cacao… – it can result in very painful migraines. Many anti-depressants are contra-indicated with the tryptophan and MAO inhibitors in this cacao, so we recommend checking your meds first. Worst case scenario is headache and nausea, but avoid the hassle and do research first. Serious heart conditions. The theobromine in cacao increases heart rate significantly and is a vasodilator, lowering blood pressure. If you have such a condition, go lighter on amounts. Pregnancy & breastfeeding. Like coffee or tea, it is important to reduce intake of stimulating foods. The theobromine in cacao, which is very similar to caffeine, has a stimulating effect. Thus we recommend using lower dosages (ex. a maximum of 1oz in a ceremonial drink). In our experience it is clear that each individual comes with a unique physiology, psychology, emotional landscape and health/wellbeing background. As such each person’s experience is particular to that individual at any given time. Certainly nausea, some degree of sleep-depravation and anxiety are possible extreme reactions for particularly sensitive individuals (especially when pre-existing challenges in these are areas are current issues for anyone). Cacao is, after all, a stimulant of sorts. Also, on occasion challenging emotions may come to the surface for attention and healing depending on individual life circumstances. That said, our experience of working with cacao and the experience of most facilitators and participants tends towards the positive or extremely positive. Negative outcomes do tend to be quite exceptional. As such we invite you to make an informed choice and to take responsibility for your own experience and wellbeing and encourage you to investigate further as appropriate. Our personal experiences have been fundamentally positive and life enhancing.
