Inner Shaman Adventures - Cacao Ceremony 3

I am in love with cacao.

The full moon hit me with its intensity this week and I have been reeling from her lesson. As I sat on my cushion, waiting for the Shaman to start the ceremony I thought about my week and the daily miracles I am noticing and am given by the creator. More and more I have noticed how the world is conspiring to support me with any choice I bring to mind.

The Shaman created a sacred space and asked us to set our intention - I told the Shaman that I want to release the fear in my heart and keep trusting in life more. I pulled the card, 'Intensity' - the picture was of a woman moving from dark to light and intensely following her journey and direction. Aho.

The Shaman gave us cacao to drink. I took my drink and this time the bitterness did not seem to affect me. I greeted, inhaled and drank the cacao readily - willing her presence in my body. I lay down to journey and waited to receive.

It was almost instantaneous.

'Why aren't you writing anymore?'

I squirmed as I knew I had been neglecting the creative within me... the long warm days of summer have arrived I have been compelled to be outside and enjoy its blessings.

'Keep writing, it's important.'

I acknowledged that the words that flow from these fingers need to be honoured even when the sun is calling and I will just take my notebook outside with me more often...

The Shaman asked us to envision the Cacao Goddess in front of us, I placed a cushion in a clearing and an old woman arrived and sat in front of me. She smiled, took my hand and looked at me for some time. I asked her if she had any guidance for me at this time.

She said, 'I'm always here. Spirit is always with you.'

I smiled at her and bowed my head in gratitude. I felt so blessed to be in contact with this plant medicine, so overwhelmed by its love, generosity, blessings, unconditionality and her willingness to guide me on my journey.

She said, 'Anything you want to do, you can do.' She repeated this over and over and over again. Afterwards she said, 'Now is the time to start creating your vision. What do you want to do?'

I said I wanted to go to South America with the Shaman and drink under her guidance as I trust her completely with this stage in my journey. I also want to move house and start my yoga teacher training.

She nodded, 'Anything you want to do, you can do. Plant your seeds and do not let anything affect them. Become one pointed. Become intense about your vision - do not scatter yourself.'

I agreed.

The Shaman spoke about opening our hearts and seeing who came into our vision - who needed love and who we needed to show love.

First of all I saw my clients, present and past, those wonderful divine beings who are desperately disconnected from their source and trying to find their way back again. I sent them all love, compassion and my best wishes, silently thanking them for allowing me to be part of their journey.

Cacao said, 'It's good to send them love, but remember you are very sensitive and you need to ask the Shaman about protecting yourself from the negativity your clients are unconsciously throwing out. She will have the answer for you.'

I said I would.

Then in my vision, two people who cause me to experience negative feelings came through - a woman I know and my old boss.

Cacao said, 'Those people who have caused you to experience pain are just as important as those who are there to ignite the experience of love. They came to your life to help you grow.'

'But what about this woman? I really struggle with this.'

Cacao said, 'You have been together for countless past lives. This dynamic has played out every time. You will not change this overnight but you need to chip away at this slowly. She will not change - your perspective of her needs to change. But do not be manipulated into this. The change needs to come from within, from your own volition.'

'But what about my old boss? I have been thinking deeply about this lately.'

Cacao said, 'Do what you need to do to find closure within and let it go. On an energetic level she will receive this - it is not for you to make contact or do anything. She will have her own realisations one day and there will be a time when she will approach you. Allow that to happen.'

Cacao said, 'Send them love, these people are so important for your growth.'

I acknowledged cacao's wisdom. 'Is there anything else I need to hear?'

Cacao said, 'Be in nature, she will teach you everything you need to know. You are divine. Everything is divine. Just let divinity show you what you need to know.'

I know I am getting my bicycle soon and I saw a vision of myself taking off for a weekend cycling through England in its glorious countryside, revelling in beauty.

The Shaman asked us to say goodbye to the Cacao Goddess and then bring our higher selves in front of us for their message. She asked us to look at our vision of our higher self. I saw Leah in front of me, full of love, compassion, sweetness, joy, spiritual insight and bliss. I asked her if she had a message for me.

She said, 'You are already me. You are just finding your way back again. You are on the right path.'

She then came towards me and dissolved within me. I felt her energy embody me and I shivered in the adjustment of our energy bodies as they merged.

I kept hearing cacao repeating, 'Anything you want to do, you can do.'

After the journey, I pulled my guidance card, 'The Fool' - it was of a man jumping off a cliff with no fear. He had a bunch of flowers in his hand and a smile on his face. Trusting that he would be safe no matter the decision he took. He was in absolute freedom and was protected. He knew that she is always with him. I will now start to embody his nature.
