About Ceremonial Cacao
If you love ceremonial cacao and want to be sure you’re getting the real thing, this is for you.
Here’s the thing: much of what’s sold online as ceremonial cacao is really cocoa powder with a nicer label on it.
This is the whole Criollo bean, fermented, roasted and ground in Guatemala by Keith’s Cacao. Nothing added, nothing taken out.
I’m a Keith’s Cacao facilitator, trained through their 16-week programme, and I drink this most days. It’s the same cacao I use in every Cacao and EFT session at The Healing Room.
I sell it because I want you to be able to trust what you’re buying, without paying premium prices for it.
Chop a little off the block, whisk it slowly with hot water or a plant milk, and give yourself a few minutes, any time of the day.
The best bits in a nutshell

HOW CACAO SUPPORTS YOU
Ease tension. Magnesium in cacao may help the body soften and let go. Some days that’s the difference between white-knuckling it and actually getting through.
Steady energy. Theobromine gives a steady kind of energy, with no spike and no crash. It’s a vasodilator rather than a stimulant. It opens the blood vessels instead of firing up the nervous system the way caffeine does, which is part of what people mean when they call cacao heart-opening. Many people find they get the lift without the 3pm crash, and more room to actually feel things.
Mood and connection. Phenylethylamine (PEA), sometimes called the love molecule, supports mood and connection. You might finish your cup wanting to reach out to someone, or simply enjoying your own company a bit more.
Calm and expansion. Anandamide, the bliss molecule, supports calm and a sense of expansion. It may be why ten minutes with cacao can feel like it stretched further than the clock says it did.
Clarity. Flavanols support circulation and clarity, which may help clear the fog so your thoughts land instead of circling.
Together, they create a state many people describe as alert yet relaxed, focused but not jittery. This is why cacao pairs beautifully with journalling, meditation, creative work or just sitting still for a few minutes.
Safety Information
Cacao is safe for most people.
But…
If you have been advised not to exercise due to a heart condition, cacao is not suitable for you.
If you are pregnant and are in your first or second trimester, 28g of cacao is the highest suitable daily dose. If you are in your third trimester, 20g is the highest suitable dose. If you are breastfeeding, start with 20g to see how your baby reacts.
If you are taking mood altering medication and are on a high dose or a mix of medication, 20g is the highest suitable daily dose. If you are on a medium dose, 28g is the highest suitable dose. If you are on a low dose you may consume up to 42.5g in one dose.

Preparing Your Cacao
Slow down, give yourself a few minutes. That's the whole point.
42.5g for a deeper cup, 15 to 25g for everyday. Start lower if unsure, more isn't better.
Chop finely with a sharp knife, it melts easier.
Mix with a little hot water first, not boiling, into a smooth paste.
Add the rest of your liquid and heat gently. I like half water, half barista coconut milk, but you do you.
Cinnamon, cayenne, vanilla, honey or maple syrup, if you like it sweeter. Experiment.
Pour into your favourite mug and take your time with it.

What Makes Cacao So Special
Cacao's nutritional value is only part of the story. It's the way it makes you feel that keeps people coming back to it. Used for centuries to support heart-opening and grounding, cacao can open the door to emotional awareness, creativity and reflection.
Where caffeine speeds you up, cacao slows you down. It supports inner connection and emotional clarity, whether you're reflecting, creating, or simply pausing in your day.
You don't need to be spiritual to drink it. It just invites you to be present with yourself, exactly as you are.

Cacao’s Nutritional Power
Cacao isn't just a comforting drink. It's rich in magnesium, iron and antioxidants, and it plays a real part in energy, focus and how you feel in yourself.
Theobromine gives you steady energy and gentle focus, without the jitters or the crash of coffee. Anandamide, the bliss molecule, supports a natural sense of wellbeing.
A small cup, worked into your day, is a nourishing practice. Steady energy and a bit more emotional balance, exactly when life feels busy or overwhelming.

Bringing Cacao into Your Life
There's no one right way to do this. A morning ritual, a midday break, a moment at the end of a busy day. It doesn't need to be perfect. It just needs to be yours.
Start simple. Make a cup, take a moment, breathe. That's it. Over time it becomes its own rhythm, a chance to check in with yourself and just be.
You don't need any special tools or training for this. Just ten minutes that belong to you.
