Cacao & Breathwork: opening the heart, following the body

There is magic when you bring cacao and breathwork together. You feel it in your heart. In your lungs. In your whole system. Ceremonial cacao gently opens the gates. It helps your body relax and your heart to open. Breathwork moves what is stuck, what lies deep within. Together, they form a ritual of coming home to yourself.

What is breathwork?

Breathwork is a collective term for techniques where you consciously work with your breath. By breathing deeper, slower, or in a connected way, you can release tension, process emotions, and calm your nervous system. Your breath is always with you. It is a powerful tool to bring your body and mind into balance.

Practicing breathwork regularly helps you get out of your head and feel more. You activate your parasympathetic nervous system, allowing your body to relax and your heart rate to drop. Many people experience more calm, clarity, and connection with themselves after a session.

Cacao and breathwork: a powerful combination

Ceremonial cacao contains theobromine and magnesium, compounds that open your heart and support your nervous system. By drinking cacao before a breathwork session, you give yourself a gentle landing. You feel safe and comfortable more quickly, allowing you to go deeper into the process.

The combination of cacao and breathwork helps you release old patterns, feel your emotions, and make space for new energy. It is an invitation to follow your body, open your heart, and be fully present in the moment.

With Rebirthing Breathwork, you work with the connected breath. This is a breathing technique without a pause between inhale and exhale. It creates a deep flow, cleanses your system, and helps you release blockages. With cacao, you feel trust more quickly and can surrender more easily to the process.
