A Moment to Be Present — Together or Alone

Cacao invites us to return to what matters. Whether you’re preparing it alone in quiet reflection or sharing it with someone you care about, the ritual can be deeply personal or beautifully communal.

You might choose to stir slowly in solitude, listening to your breath and grounding your thoughts. Or you may prepare and share together—each step a gesture of care. There’s no right way. Only your way.

If enjoying solo:

Let the ritual anchor you.

Notice the aroma. Feel the warmth in your hands. Let each sip be a reminder that you are cared for, connected, and already whole.

Close your eyes. Place one hand on your heart. And say:

“I am here. I am listening. I receive this moment as sacred.”

If sharing with someone:

Offer the moment.

“I made this for us. Let’s pause and be present with one another.”

Sit across from each other. Exchange a few deep breaths. You might offer an intention like:

“I’m here to listen” or “I want to feel more connected with you.”

Ask a gentle question:

What’s something you’re carrying right now?

What are you grateful for?

What do you need most today?

Let the cacao guide the pace. Sip. Pause. Let silence or laughter come. Let presence be enough.

An Offering to Read Together

This is a simple invitation. Let it meet the moment as it is. There’s no formula here—just a way to begin with openness, attention, and care.

This Cup Between Us

We sit here, not to fix or solve, but to feel, to witness, to return to what is true.

This warm cup in our hands holds more than cacao—it holds time. Time to listen. Time to soften. Time to meet each other here.

I want to see you—not just the surface, but the depth, the wonder, the things you don’t always say.

I’m here for that. I’m here for you.

As we sip, let this moment be enough. Let it hold the beauty and the ache. Let it remind us we belong—to ourselves and to each other.

So here’s to presence, to curiosity, to the quiet courage of sharing a sacred cup

Meditation 1: Before the Sip — A Ritual of Opening

( To prepare before drinking your cacao )

Be still now.

Close your eyes,

and bring your attention home—

home to your breath,

home to the subtle rhythm beneath all doing.

Inhale gently,

and feel the breath gather you—

from the future,

from the past,

from the hundred places you’ve been this day.

Exhale.

And with that breath,

release the urgency,

the stories, the swirl.

Let yourself return

to this one sacred point—

right here, right now.

Feel your pulse.

Place your hand on your chest if it helps.

Let your breath and your heartbeat find each other, like old friends reunited.

With each inhale,

draw in what has been scattered—

your attention,

your energy,

your presence.

Call it back from screens and tasks, from timelines and tension.

With each exhale,

let it settle deeper—

through the mind,

through the chest, into the belly.

Into your knowing.

Into the quiet ground of your being.

You are not just preparing a drink.

You are preparing to receive.

Hold your cacao with reverence.

This is a sacred plant, a keeper of the earth’s memory,

a vessel for heart-opening and soul remembering.

She does not rush.

She waits for you to become still enough to hear.

Breathe in her aroma.

Feel the warmth in your hands.

Let her begin to speak—not in words,

but in frequency,

in vibration,

in love.

Say quietly, or within:

“I call myself home. I welcome my own breath. I receive what is ready to unfold. And I offer this moment as sacred.”

And when you are ready…

sip slowly.

Let her move through you.

Not to awaken your mind—

but to awaken your heart.

Meditations for Each Season

Winter — The Deep Return

The womb is a well of remembering.
A space of rich silence and creation.
Here, where strength now rises,
you are allowed to feel—without needing to fix.

Let this warmth invite you to stay.
To sit with what has been, and with what longs to be met.
There is no pressure here.
Only breath.
Only presence.
Only the deep pull of restoration.

This sip is your return to yourself.

Spring — The Gentle Becoming

You are not pushing.
You are pulsing.

There is music in the stretch,
a whisper of newness in your bones.
The earth rises to meet you now—not in demand,
but in delight.

Let this season play through you:
bright, curious, alive.

Sip the beginning.
Sip the becoming.
Let your breath rise with your energy,
and dance with the beauty of unfolding.

Summer — The Full Expression

You are not too much.
You are the mirror of creation in bloom.

Here, you are electric—ripe with joy, possibility,
and sacred presence.
Let yourself radiate.
Not for praise,
but for the sheer pleasure of being.

Sip as a celebration.
Feel your pulse sync with your purpose.
Your body, your voice, your essence—alive in the light.

Autumn — The Inner Fire

This is not the end.
This is the gathering.
The choosing.

Here, you are the flame and the keeper of the hearth.

Let your awareness settle deep,
like leaves folding into soil.

This sip steadies you.
This breath prepares you.

You are wisdom in motion.
You are presence in transition.

You are enough.
Even now.
Especially now.
