✨Happy Spring Equinox From The Cacao Cove✨

Today, day and night stand in perfect balance—a reminder of the harmony we seek within ourselves.
A display of the balance between masculine & feminine,
light & dark. ⚖️

The Spring Equinox marks a powerful time of renewal, growth, and transformation. As nature awakens from its winter slumber, bringing fresh growth and beautiful flowers, we too are invited to plant new seeds of intention. 🌱

Cacao, with its heart-opening properties and the deep presence that it brings, invites us to soften into this transition. Cacao allows us to honour both the light and shadow within ourselves. May this season bring clarity, joy, and deeper connection. ☕️
As we sip this sacred plant medicine today, let’s reflect: What seeds are we planting for the months ahead?

☀️ What are you calling in this season? Share your intentions below! ⬇️

🍫✨Discover the love molecule: Phenylethylamine (PEA) in Cacao! ✨🍫

Did you know that cacao contains a special compound known as Phenylethylamine, aka the “Love Drug”? PEA contains properties contributing to both physiological and emotional wellbeing:

1️⃣ Mood Boosting neurotransmitters:
PEA triggers the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin (mood regulation), norepinephrine (alertness and arousal) & dopamine (pleasure and reward). These combined help to create a flood of positive emotions.

2️⃣Antidepressant:
PEA also stimulates the release of endorphins, which brings about a feeling of euphoria and helps to relieve pain as it interacts with our op**te receptors. This further helps to boost your mood.

3️⃣ Love Connection:
Often referred to as the “love molecule,” surges in PEA levels are associated with the feeling of falling in love or participating in thrilling activities that get the heart pumping.

4️⃣ Sensory effects:
Cacao raises our heart rate, which leads to a heightened state of awareness and physical arousal. It also heightens our senses, which will result in you having more sensory rich, sensual experiences.

🍫💕Embrace the love within every sip of cacao or every bite of dark raw chocolate and allow yourself to have an elevated mood and state of mind! 🍫💕

Note: PEA is sensitive to heat so most chocolate these days will not contain much or any of this. Lucky for you we have the best quality cacao on this side of the world✨

Cacao for the Heart❤️

The heart chakra (anahata) is a centre of love, compassion and where we find connection to our authentic selves. This is the place where we can confront our fears, pains and vulnerabilities so that we can understand and move beyond them.

For centuries, cacao has been known for its heart opening properties allowing us to unlock the gates for our innermost feelings.

Often consumed in rituals, cacao allows us to release emotional blockages, which allows an easier connection to our anahata. This shows how cacao acts as a catalyst for heart chakra activation helping us to understand how we can embody and radiate love.

Cacao contains compounds like theobromine and phenylethylamine, known for enhancing feelings of love and joy. This resonates with our heart space, promoting a sense of emotional wellbeing. Ultimately, this can help us balance our heart chakra, which brings emotional wisdom, lasting joy, bliss, compassion, deep healing, forgiveness and strengthens our self love!

By regularly engaging with cacao (in a ceremony or enjoying a mindful cup), we honour the hearts wisdom and help to maintain the openness of our heart chakra, fostering harmony in the world around us. Cacao can be a daily medicine for the heart chakra keeping us connected to our authentic selves and the divinity that surrounds us🤎🍫🤎🍫🤎

Cacao for better sleep🌜😴🌛

Many think of cacao as a stimulating food as it contains theobromine, which is a stimulant but instead of affecting the central nervous system like caffeine, it stimulates the cardiovascular system, which ultimately helps to reduce blood pressure.

Whilst cacao does contain caffeine, the amounts are extremely low (usually lower than 1% (less than a cup of decaffeinated coffee)).

So how does cacao help with sleep?

Despite the stimulating compounds of theobromine and caffeine, cacao contains many compounds that help to calm and sooth the mind and body.

Magnesium:
Cacao contains more magnesium than any other food, which is a powerful mineral which aids sleep (often known as the sleep mineral.) Magnesium helps to deactivate adrenaline, calms sensitivity to pain, quiets nerves and is responsible for over 300 cellular functions. Knowing this, it’s concerning that most people are deficient in magnesium!! This deficiency is directly linked to a difficulty in sleeping.

Tryptophan:
When this amino acid gets ingested it is converted into serotonin (a neurotransmitter, which aids learning and memory, body temperature and sleep regulation.) Serotonin is then converted into melatonin (a hormone responsible for regulating your circadian rhythm and sleep).
Tryptophan does not react well to heat so is not present in cooked chocolate. Therefore raw, ceremonial grade chocolate is best!

Cacao contains many other properties that aid with sleep, which I will delve deeper into in later posts.
Theres no surprise that mothers living in the rainforest give their kids cacao before bed!😴

Cacao & Cardiovascular health🤎

Did you know that cardiovascular issues were the number 1 leading cause of death in males in 2022 and the second leading cause overall in the UK. In particular, coronary artery disease!
This condition occurs when the blood vessels supplying the heart become narrowed or blocked, which means that your cardiovascular system has to work much harder in order to pump the same amount of blood.
This will likely result in higher blood pressure, possible chest pains and maybe even a heart attack!

So why am I telling you this?

Well as it’s one of the leading causes of death, it’s important that we try to reduce this problem and I have just the thing that could help….

Cacao🍫🍫

Cacao stimulates the cardiovascular system and contains bio-active flavanols that promote vasodilation (the opening of blood vessels). This lowers blood pressure and therefore lowers the strain on the heart!

As well as this, the antioxidants found in cacao have been proven to dissolve plaque build up in the arteries, which can help in reversing heart disease and lower blood pressure.

A 20 year Harvard study on the Kuna Indians showed that they have “among the lowest rates of cardiovascular disease in the world, even though they’re poor, have lousy sanitation and hygiene, no access to medicine…and yet, they have this remarkably low incident of heart attack, stroke, and high blood pressure: and they consume FOUR TO FIVE CUPS of cocoa a piece, every single day.” - Chris Kilham
