Embracing the Sacred at Solstice: The Magic and Benefits of Cacao and Bobinsana Together
In the heart of the jungle where the whisper of ancient trees meets the rhythm of the Earth, many timeless traditions that transcend the boundaries of the physical world await you…
I have returned to London with my medicine bag of goodies and have set the date for my next signature ceremony (a combination of Cacao and Bobinsana). This sacrament will be held, for you, on the evening of Sacred solstice – Friday June 21st.
A few years ago, I was guided by Cacao and Bobinsana to put them together as a brew**; within which we find a harmonious marriage that nurtures the body, mind and spirit. When drunk together, these powerful plant allies can open doors to profound healing and transformation. Now I welcome you to join us for this enriching and loving experience.
Physical Health Benefits: Nourishing the Body
The ceremonial use of Cacao** is not just a feast for the senses; it is a gift to the body. Packed with essential minerals such as magnesium, iron and potassium, Cacao is a nutritional powerhouse. Its high antioxidant content fights free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and promoting cellular health.
Cacao's heart-healthy flavonoids enhance cardiovascular function by improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure. Meanwhile, theobromine, a gentle stimulant found in Cacao, provides a natural energy boost. Unlike caffeine, theobromine offers sustained vitality without the crash, supporting physical endurance and alertness.
Bobinsana, revered for anti-inflammatory and heart opening properties, complements Cacao by soothing the body's internal landscape – right from the heart. She helps support the immune system and ‘feeling our feelings”, promoting overall well-being. Together, these plants create a synergy that enhances physical health and vitality, grounding us in the present moment with the potential for deeper work.
Mental Health Benefits: Clarity and Calm
Cacao's mood-enhancing properties are well-documented; stimulating the release of endorphins and serotonin (the body's natural feel-good chemicals). This helps to alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety, fostering more of a sense of joy and well-being.
Bobinsana, sometimes called the "Plant of Courage," is known for her ability to clear mental fog and promote clarity. Meanwhile aiding in reducing stress and anxiety, allowing the mind to rest and rejuvenate. The combination of Cacao's uplifting effects and Bobinsana's calming influence creates a balanced mental state, where clarity and calm coexist.
In this sacred space, the mind is free to explore new perspectives and insights. The ceremony always becomes a meditative journey, helping to dissolve mental blockages and enhance cognitive function. Creating a fertile ground for personal growth and transformation.
Spiritual Health Benefits: A Gateway to the Soul
The sacred ceremony of Cacao and Bobinsana can be a profound spiritual experience. Cacao has been used for centuries in spiritual rituals to open the heart and connect with the divine. It is often called "The Food of the Gods" for its ability to facilitate deep emotional release and heart-centered awareness. During the ceremony, participants often feel a heightened sense of empathy and interconnectedness, fostering a deep connection with themselves and others.
Bobinsana, with her gentle, heart-opening energy, further enhances this spiritual connection. As a Master-plant, she is known to awaken the heart chakra, promoting love, compassion and spiritual insight. Bobinsana's spirit can guide participants on a journey of self-discovery, helping to uncover hidden truths and align with their higher purpose.
Together, Cacao and Bobinsana** create a sacred space where participants can commune with their higher selves and the spiritual realms. The ceremony becomes a journey of awakening, where the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is lifted, allowing for profound healing and transformation.
The Significance of the Solstice: A Sacred Time of Transformation
Conducting a Cacao and Bobinsana ceremony** during the solstice amplifies the spiritual potency of this sacrament. The solstice, whether winter or summer, marks a pivotal point in the Earth's cycle—a time when the veil between worlds is thin.
From a shamanic perspective, the solstice is a powerful portal for transformation, renewal and realignment with our true selves. It is a time to honour the rhythms of nature and our place within it, to reflect on the past, and to set intentions for the future.
Spiritually speaking, the solstice can be seen as a moment of rebirth and illumination. The increasing light of the summer solstice represents growth, expansion and the manifestation of intentions.
This Solstice closely aligns with the full moon in Capricorn, which isn’t a common occurrence. Once more, the full moon will further amplify the magic, electricity and potency of this Solstice ceremony and it’s definitely not to be missed.
A Sacred Synergy
The sacred ceremony of Cacao and Bobinsana is a holistic practice for nurturing the body, mind and spirit. By embracing these plant spirits, we open ourselves to a world of healing and transformation. The physical benefits nourish our bodies, the mental benefits bring clarity and calm, while the spiritual benefits connect us with our true essence.
If you feel called to embrace a sacred moment and connect with a synergy that transcends the ordinary, my ceremony could be what you’re looking for. Cacao and Bobinsana invite us to dance with the divine, to heal our wounds and to awaken to the infinite possibilities within. This ceremony is not just a ritual; it is a journey to wholeness, a return to the sacredness of life itself
