It’s healing powers are now coming into the surface again and being used for physical, emotional and spiritual benefits.
Due to its mineral contents and nutrients and medicinal properties cacao is called the “food of the gods”! Our ancestors believed that it could connect humans to the spiritual realms and facilitate communication with the deities. From Ancient Mayas to indigenous cultures cacao has played a profound hole in spiritual practices and cultural traditions.
On a metaphysical level Cacao is tool to connect with the energetical space of your heart as well as the heart of the people around you. Cacao’s heart-opening properties are often attributed to its high levels of theobromine, a mild stimulant that’s believed to temporarily boost mood.
Cacao can assist in energetic healings and to receive clarity in areas like love, purpose, intuitive abilities, and carriers.
