I show a little love, which leads to a little gratitude, which leads to a little sensation of feeling blessed, which leads to more love -> more gratitude -> more blessing -> leads to bigger love -> bigger gratitude -> bigger blessing…. It just keeps growing!! Happy February My Friends!
The more the sun shines these days, the more I feel gratitude towards what comes from the earth. Each sip of cacao is a gift, a powerful medicine offered to us from the Theobroma tree. With each sip I am reminded of the past ceremonies, both the shared experiences and the solo adventures I’ve taken with cacao. And with each sip I find myself more and more grateful for the ground I’ve covered thus far, which only perpetuates my view of the future. Every sip of life is a blessing for which we have the opportunity to create gratitude. In each moment we can take a step back, realize that we are in the drivers seat, and that we have the ability craft the reality around us. We do this by first changing our internal environment; our body, our mind, our emotions. Then moving out into the world, we literally change the space around us. Changing that internal world starts with setting the intention, with feeling the blessings we have, and want to manifest, it starts with loving ourselves. February is the month of Love, that is generally associated with Valentines Day, gifts and…. Chocolate! (Yay). Not to knock the heart shaped boxes of coconut-caramel-bruléed creme de pecan filled deliciousness, but I think there is a deeper meaning to all this, a more fulfilling message that we can learn. I’m finding that it is helpful to have a reminder to take time for loving ourselves, loving the life we live. Just as Valentines Day is a ritual in which we show appreciation to our loved ones, I look at these Cacao Ceremonies as reminders to show some love to myself. I show a little love, which leads to a little gratitude, which leads to a little sensation of feeling blessed, which leads to more love -> more gratitude -> more blessing -> leads to bigger love -> bigger gratitude -> bigger blessing…. It just keeps growing!! Join us Saturday, February 25th from 5:00 to 7:00pm in a unique expression of love and appreciation of Cacao, the miracle food that supports this particular path of growth. Join us in resetting the internal world, so that we might retune our external world. Alicia, Sybel and I are looking forward to sharing a space with you again! Please RSVP HERE or in person at the Easton Yoga front desk so we can prepare enough cacao. This ceremony is open to the public, so feel free to invite your friends and loved ones:) Many Blessings, - Jesse |
