During the slower pace of some down time- I’m drawn back to the instinct and benefits of natures plant medicine and the power of rest and ritual, which are worlds apart from exhaustion and burnout.
Rest and ritual is intentional, un-rushed presence.
My vision of Shaktea has always been more than a healthy beverage- but an experience for mind, body and soul. I know that sounds like a big ask - but when you take time to cultivate a tranquil setting internally and externally - (whether for half an hour or a whole day) you get to submerge into the moment. It’s a place of connection to self and to nature’s nourishing infinite wisdom - serving and healing your body.
I like to combine my Shaktea rest and ritual with candle light, music, incense and essential oil to support the senses to be present and grounded.
This is pure ceremonial grade criollo cacao sourced from Venezuela. It’s a rare variety that was at risk of extinction for many years. It is the cacao of the ancient Mayas and the Aztecs.
Cacao is a super food, rich in antioxidants and high in iron. Cacao does contain caffeine, though much less than coffee and tea, and does not have the intensity or jittery stimulus some experience from coffee.
High in Theobromine - translates to ‘food of the Gods’ it is a heart stimulant - it opens your heart and relaxes your muscles. Perfect for Rest and Ritual.
