Use Ceremonial
The use of cocoa nibs for ceremonial use dates back to ancient Mesoamerican cultures, such as the Maya and Aztecs, who considered cocoa a sacred gift from the gods. A general guideline for a ceremonial dose is between 20 grams to 40 grams of raw cacao nibs. This is approximately equivalent to 20 to 40 grams of the raw cacao beans. However, some ceremonies may use higher amounts, up to 42 grams or even more, depending on tradition, the intention of the ceremony, and the experience and sensitivity of the participants.
1. Setting Intention: Before you begin, it is important to clearly set your intention for the ceremony. This could be personal growth, healing, showing gratitude, or seeking guidance on a particular challenge.
2. Select cacao nibs: Be sure to use high-quality raw, organic cacao nibs, preferably from a source that supports sustainable and fair trade practices. This not only respects the sacred nature of cocoa, but also assures that the energy it carries is pure.
3. Ceremonial Cocoa Beverage Making:
- Start by gently roasting the cocoa nibs at a low temperature to release their flavors. This is optional and depends on personal preference.
- Grind the roasted or raw cacao nibs into a fine powder with a grinder or mortar.
- Mix the cocoa powder with hot water or a vegetable milk of your choice. The amount of water or milk depends on how thick or thin you prefer the drink.
- If desired, add natural sweeteners such as honey or maple syrup, along with spices such as chili, cinnamon, or vanilla for added flavor and energizing properties.
4. The Ceremony:
- Create a sacred space by cleansing your environment with sage, Palo Santo, or incense, for example.
- Invite participants to sit in a circle and share the cocoa drink.
- As everyone holds the cocoa drink, encourage them to blow their intentions into the cocoa, energetically “activating” it with their personal prayers or wishes.
- Drink the cocoa drink together. Take your time to feel the flavor, warmth and energy of the cocoa.
- The ceremony can continue with meditation, singing, dancing, drumming, or other activities that help the group connect and deepen intentions.
