A new New Age obsession, the cocoa ceremony has become THE trend for well-being rituals in Anglo-Saxon countries. Once again, France is lagging behind but the cocoa ceremony is expected to emerge among the groups of French yogis. An ancestral shamanic ritual of Native American peoples, cocoa would promote alignment of body and mind, activate emotional healing and accelerate re-anchoring with the earth, the deep self and others. The resurgence of the sacred caco ceremony undoubtedly reflects the contemporary quest for meaning and a return to origins. The origins For thousands of years, plants have been used in Native American cultures for medicinal, spiritual and ceremonial purposes. Cocoa, literally translated as "blood of the heart" in Maya and considered the "Food of the Gods", is used by the indigenous tribes of Central and South America in the context of shamanic ceremonies, both sacred and therapeutic. His goal is to open his heart, explore his inner being and integrate into the great Whole of the Universe. Archaeological evidence of the use of cocoa in Central America dates back 3,900 years, but its use may date back 5,300 years in the Amazon. The massive genocide of indigenous populations during Spanish colonization and the rapid deterioration of evidence in tropical areas leaves little evidence of the practice of ancient rituals. On the other hand, cocoa is widely mentioned in the Popul Vuh, the most important text of pre-Columbian culture which tells the origins of the Maya civilization. Also, it is found in many engravings representing ritual offerings. We know that there were large warehouses of cocoa beans, that it was used as currency and that cocoa was already consumed as a drink. Cocoa still has an important part in Mayan culture today and is used by midwives, in weddings and other celebrations. A Mayan legend says that when the balance between humans and Mother Nature is disturbed, the spirit of cocoa comes out of the forest to open people's hearts and restore harmony between people and their environment. Suffice to say that it is topical! Documentary on the cocoa ceremony shot in Guatemala © Produced by Cacao Lab and directed by Daniel Garcia The ritual Each session is different depending on the master of ceremonies, but the objectives remain the same for all practices: to let go of the past, to seek wisdom and inner truth and to discover the path to move forward in a life centered on the heart and the opening. The ritual traditionally begins at dawn in order to be fasting and better absorb the nutrients of the cocoa. We set a personal intention before we start. The shaman asks the cocoa spirit to guide us on our inner journey, to help us let go of what has become useless to us and to open the way to a better future. The guests are seated with their eyes closed, installed in a circle around candles, incense and sacred stones while the guide explains the course of the session and the virtues of pure cocoa. Then he invites the community to drink the bitter elixir. According to the practitioners, participants either sing in unison or lie down to promote relaxation and let themselves be carried away by a guided meditation. Gongs, rain sticks, crystal bowls or drums accompany the trip in all cases, the vibrations and the rhythm of the instruments inviting you to let go Once the meditation is complete, participants close the ceremony with ecstatic dances to the sound of drums or share highlights of their individual experiences with the circle. A cocoa ceremony is a beautiful journey of reconnection but don't expect to hallucinate or have a transcendental experience. We are very far from the ayahuasca ceremony since caco is not a hallucinogenic plant. It acts gently on the body, mind and heart, rebalancing the energies. The benefits The cocoa used in ceremonies differs from the processed chocolate that we usually consume. “Real” cocoa is free of any additives. It has a very bitter taste and its virtues are contained in the pure bean. From a scientific point of view, cocoa is known to be rich in iron, magnesium, antioxidants and B vitamins. Cocoa is proven to boost the immune system and lower cholesterol and blood pressure. Also, cocoa beans contain a mild psychoactive ingredient called theobromine - a mildly energizing bitter alkaloid also found in coffee - which is used medicinally as a heart stimulant and diuretic. It allows the dilation of vessels and increases the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain which induces the release of endorphins and dopamine, the hormones of well-being. Thanks to its theobromine content, cocoa is therefore a natural antidepressant and its magnesium content makes it a very good anti-stress and a recognized anti-fatigue. From a more spiritual point of view, all these physiological virtues participate in the awakening of consciousness and access to our emotional and energetic body is also fluidized. By promoting intuition, creative inspiration and concentration, cocoa is therefore of great support in the exploration of the 'inner worlds' and in personal and expressive practices such as meditation, breathing work, yoga, music, singing, dancing ... If cocoa alone has many therapeutic virtues, the practice of the cocoa ceremony in groups would bring additional benefits. Indeed, cocoa increasing the energy field of the heart, the phenomenon is amplified in contact with other participants, all being linked by the same energy and vibratory frequency during the ceremony. And each being the bearer of a unique message, the interconnection between the energies of the participants works for sharing and accentuates open-mindedness. Cocoa ceremonies are increasingly popular; unlike other practices, they are accessible and safe for our health. Above all, they allow individuals to (re) connect to each other, to be aware of being linked to a Whole and are an opportunity to reconnect with our archaic memory. Where to practice?

We hope that this New Year will be magical and bountiful for all. To welcome 2022 under the best omen, we will devote this week to purification and well-being. And what could be more symbolic than water for cleaning and regeneration. We will begin our ritual by using the technique of the magic glass of water which consists in asking the universe to grant all our wishes and / or to remove our blockages. After two years of stress and restrictions, and without any certitude about the future, we have the right to allow ourselves a little dreaming and believe in the magic of the universe. The principle Whether one is mystical or on the contrary very Cartesian, water is one of the most powerful symbolic representations because it is the source of all life. It is a symbol of fertility, abundance and purification, and man has always seen this precious liquid as a gift from God and Nature. Japanese doctor of alternative medicine, Masaru Emoto, has scientifically proven that water has a memory and that it is a vehicle of information that vibrates in charge of the information it picks up. The results of his study are published in his book The Water Miracle. The glass of water technique, practiced for ages and made famous by Dr Luc Bodin, doctor of medicine, researcher and energy therapist, consists of asking the universe, God or his unconscious - according to beliefs - to remove blockages or bring prosperity. It is a simple process to activate a positive change in your life. The technique You will need: - a flat glass of water (preferably crystal) without writing on it - a blank sheet of paper - a pen - spring or mineral water Before you start, make yourself comfortable in a quiet place, making sure you are not disturbed. Breathe deeply three or four times and set your intention: “What do I really want for this year?”. Once the inner calm is established, notice what emerges: a novelty in your life? a concrete achievement? the lifting of a material or emotional blockage? The wishes are endless ... Two options are available to you. Either you want to see one or more blockages lifted, or you want to see wishes come true. 1 - Blockages lifted On a white piece of paper, draw a circle the diameter of the glass. Inside this circle, write the situation (s) that you would like to see unblocked. Fill your glass 3/4 full with water and place the glass on the circle. Put the glass in a corner and wait 24 hours. The next day, flush the water in the toilet and burn the paper or 2 - Wishes come true On a white piece of paper, draw a circle the diameter of the glass. Inside this circle, write the wish (s) you want to see come true. Fill your glass 3/4 full with water and place the glass on the circle. Put the glass in a corner and wait 24 hours. The next day drink the water and keep the folded paper in a secret place. In any case, let the magic happen, be patient and believe in yourself and in the universe! Notes et Suggestions! Warning! The wording of your wishes and affirmations must be positive! Example: "I want this" and not "I don't want this anymore"!

You will see, we are very addicted to Ayurveda (traditional Indian medicine) which we use in all its forms: medicine, massage, detox recipe, beauty... Among them, the recipe for golden milk or Golden Milk, an ancestral drink with multiple virtues. Perfect for brightening up that foggy fall day! Golden milk is considered a real elixir recognized for its many virtues since the dawn of time. Its secret lies in the combination of fatty substances and spices. Prep time 5 minutes Ingredients • 250ml vegetable milk • 1 tsp coconut oil • 1 tsp turmeric • 1 pinch of pepper • 1 pinch of cinnamon • 1 pinch of powdered ginger or a very small piece of fresh Preparation 1 . In a saucepan, put the turmeric, add a drizzle of milk and stir. 2 . When the mixture is homogeneous, add the rest of the milk and the oil. Stir. 3. When the milk is hot and smoking (be careful not to boil it), remove it from the heat and add the pepper and ginger. 4. Sprinkle with cinnamon You can mix everything with a small matcha whisk. The tip Golden milk is a very good alternative to late morning or afternoon coffee for those who want to get off the caffeine! Virtues Turmeric is a root like ginger. It is more common to use it in powder form. Its active ingredient "curcumin" participates in the regeneration of the brain through a detox process and an improvement in blood circulation, among other things! In powder, it is little assimilated by our body. It needs to be accompanied by: - pepper, the piperine present in it enhances the properties of curcumin - ginger acts in synergy with curcumin for better absorption and optimization of its anti-oxidant effects - a fatty substance because curcumin is "fat soluble" which means that it is only diluted in a fatty substance.
