Join Diane Kinoian at The Yoga Loft, 58 Main Street, Farmingdale, April 20, 12:30-2:30pm for a Cacao Ceremony. The ceremony itself will include energy clearing, sacred song, drumming, periods of silence, singing bowls, rattling, etc. I encourage participants to move around if feeling called. Stretching, gentle asanas, shaking and dancing are great tools to assist in the releasing of stuck energy.
Cacao is a plant medicine that wants you to be in your body. The naturally occurring psychoactive compounds of cacao - specifically theobromine, phenalethylmine (PEA), and anandamide alter your body’s chemistry. Theobromine is a cardiovascular stimulant and vasodilator that allows blood vessels to open more, increases blood flow, and relaxes smooth muscle tissue.Getting cozy—Most people prefer to be laying down in a comfortable position for most of the time, so I encourage you to make yourself a little Cacao Chrysalis by bringing along a yoga mat, blanket, pillow, eye mask, warm socks, etc. Please make sure to bring a mug/travel cup to drink your cacao out of, a water bottle and maybe even some nuts/dried fruit for post ceremony.
It is recommended to fast for at least 3 hours prior to the ceremony, to avoid caffeine, to avoid dairy (this impacts your body’s ability to fully absorb the psychoactive compounds of cacao), to refrain from use of other plant medicines, and to avoid alcohol for 24 hours prior.
