For those unfamiliar with raw chocolate… Cacao, "Food of the Gods", has a rich history of sacred use with Meso-American cultures where it natively grows. Why?
The tasty candy you know is missing the goodies. Contemporary commercial chocolate processing removes 98% of the chemicals that alter consciousness… and removes the bioflavonoids that increase blood-flow to the brain more than 30%. Chocolate hearts on Valentine's Day?... The mass-consciousness understands that chocolate should open the heart.
In Indigenous poetic language, chocolate translates as "heart blood". Although ceremonial details of how ancient cultures used chocolate are not known, I have found the Cacao Deva (the consciousness behind the chocolate form) truly willing to work with and contribute to contemporary inner process in a deeply cooperative and heart-centered way. Opening or releasing energies on deeper levels is assisted for those who allow.
