Starting the day with cacao is a beautiful way to support the nervous system. Cacao contains natural compounds that calm the body and enhance focus, helping to shift us out of “fight or flight” and into a more balanced state.
🌿 In Spinal Flow, we also work to calm the body’s stress response and restore communication through the spine and nerves. When the body feels safe, energy can flow, healing can occur, and we begin the day from a state of alignment and ease. 💖💖💖
My Morning Ritual with Mother Cacao 🤎
Most mornings begin slowly for me now.
Not rushing to “get on with the day,”
but easing into it…
arriving in my body first, before the world asks anything of me.
I warm the water.
I mix the cacao.
I breathe while it melts.
A tiny ceremony in the kitchen.
This isn’t about productivity or “starting strong.”
It’s about remembering myself.
Cacao has this way of softening me from the inside out.
She opens the heart, gently never forcing, never pushing just inviting me to return.
As I drink, I ask:
How is my heart this morning?
What do I need to feel supported today?
Where can I slow down, even just a little?
Some days the answers are clear.
Some days they arrive later.
Either is okay.
This ritual is my reminder that I’m not here to outrun my life.
I’m here to live it.
To feel it.
To move with it.
If your mornings feel rushed or heavy,
maybe you could try a tiny pause.
Just a breath.
A quiet moment.
A hand to your own heart.
You deserve to meet yourself gently.
