Description

Join us for a cacao ceremony that will journey through the five domains of life: Physical, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual, & Practical! Cacao for Holistic Wellness At Resonance Holistic Wellness, our fundamental practice is grounded in the concept that all clients should be assessed and treated following the five domains of life: Physical, Practical, Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual. All of them forming a delicate balance. Should any one of them be out of balance for too long, unbalance and dis-ease may result. How can cacao support my holistic wellness? The framework of cacao is also grounded in the five domains of life. It is ritualistic, slow, intentional, mindful. Paying attention is the basis of all proactive wellness. Cacao can easily aid us on our journey of wellness. Physical – Cacao is full of nutrients and is one of the most nutrient dense foods on earth. Magnesium and iron are present to keep our bodies calm and well oxygenated. 100% ceremonial cacao is packed with Theobromine, which provides a gentle energy, is said to open the cardiovascular system, and delivers vitamins and minerals into our tissues. Ceremonial grade cacao also has good fats and proteins directly from the bean. Practical – Cacao is a solitary practice for some, and yet, it can also be a cherished in community. Cacao ceremonies, or cacao circles, are a place where being vulnerable with ourselves and others allows us to be supported in all of the remaining domains, whether in solitary, or in community. Emotional – Creating a cacao practice can be an important forum for which to truly sit with ourselves and others. When life is full of things that take our attention elsewhere, cacao can be used to bring us back to center, to source. Since cacao is mindful, it can be a good forum from which to journal. Sharing written thoughts and feelings is an excellent way to open the heart chakra and move stagnant energy into free-flowing universal energy. Mental – Cacao provides a dietary benefit to our whole bodies that aids in optimal cognition and better brain balance. It is packed with Tryptophan for Serotonin synthesis, Tyramine and Phenylethylamine to support dopamine regulation, and Anandamide to aid in mind/body homeostasis. There are a few studies that show that the Theobromine in cacao helps oxygenate the gray matter in the brain. Spiritual – For some, spirituality is about the self. For others, it is about the relationships we have with others, with nature, with a higher power, with God. Cacao may help guide you on your spiritual path through its ritual and ceremonial aspects. Regardless of how you see spirituality, cacao provides growth for all of us no matter where we are on our paths. We will mindfully guide participants through a Cacao Ceremony. Each participant will be given a meditative serving of Ceremonial Cacao with the intention of creating a Personal Manifestation. We will have a circular discussion about personal manifestation where attendees are open to share their thoughts and feelings according to level of comfort. We will offer “wish paper” for each attendee to journal their personal manifestation offering. We will close by activating our wish papers in unison.
