Cacao, Medicine of The Heart: In Mayan Cacao ceremonies we take a journey into our innermost wisdom, where our Teacher resides. The Mayan peoples knew Cacao not only opens the door of the heart but also the door to a greater consciousness because when we connect with the Love that resides in us, we enter into harmony with Pachamama (nature) and the Universe! 💕
