It all starts with the "basic" mix. Just Cacao & water to ground yourself, open your heart and connect with Mother Earth.
Besides that, you can use all kinds of herbs to make your ceremonial Cacao even better or more fitting to your needs.

How to hold a cacao ceremony for yourself:
A ceremony starts with making your own cup of cacao. Get your head empty and your mind set on a bit of self-care time.
1. Chop up your cacao in small pieces with intention. You can even start with a litte smoke / sound cleansing,
2. Get you liquid of choice in a little pan and let it come to a simmer.
3. Add your cacao (and herbs if wanted), make sure it all melts completely. Don't let it boil!
4. Pour your cup of cacao.
Find a litte space for yourself where you can be unbothered by anyone.
This can be your own sacred space, outside in the garden, where ever you feel safe.
Put on calming / grounding meditation music. Get a little notebook if you are one to yournal.
Get comfy!
Drink with intention, focus on your breathing, clear your mind.
Relax and enjoy!
