A cacao meditation does not need to be big or mystical. It can be a quiet cup of 100% cacao, a few minutes of breathing and a moment without distraction.
Cacao is not medicine and it does not replace therapy or medical support. But the preparation, warmth, taste and pause can give meditation a simple physical beginning.
What cacao meditation means
