CACAO CEREMONY

Bio: 

Twenty years of using and teaching several healing systems led me by the late 80's into a meditation and channeling group where I received 6 years training by Higher Beings in deep density processing and higher-dimensional partnering. I was taught by doing the work myself for the purpose of assisting the 2nd wave of awakenings to do it for themselves. I was also told those awakenings - that's likely you - would, if you made it through your training, assist the 3rd wave beginning in a few more years. 

Following that training I immersed myself in session experience, with retreats to wander wild places or do relationship dharma. Then 6 years in the Guatemalan Highlands (having a blast working with 2nd wave spiritual travelers at Lake Atitlan, one of the planet’s prominent energy vortexes) and in the growing spiritual communities of Costa Rica (where my visionary artist sweetheart Jan resides). 

While in Guatemala the Cacao / Chocolate Deva beckoned me into her world to participate in returning this spiritual plant medicine to a renewed place as the “food for the shift”. With all this fun, I share an effortless radiance, ‘The Glow’, that is now spreading as “one of the simplest and deepest meditation practices available”, and also a practical partnership with Cosmic Consciousness to aid inner-work. 

Cacao, The Glow, and I have been traveling Central and North America, and England - using ceremonies, workshops and sessions with individuals, couples, groups, and communities. I share experiential training and tools in deep reality change through ones own higher partnering - making practical use of whatever blocks the way for the purpose one placed it there - with elegance rather than struggle. So much magic these days! So much cacao! Enjoy! 

Cacao Inner Journey – Recalling Chocolate as a Sacred Plant-Medicine 

“Food of the Gods”… participants drink thick chili spiked ‘Mayan Potion’ to spend several hours in group inner focus and, by choice, higher dimensional partnership, however you need and allow. I find myself as the non-indigenous carrier of this overlooked sacred potential – but in a full-on contemporary way. This is not an Indigenous ceremony, but an opportunity to experience a plant helper / medicine many of you are already deeply connected with and perhaps waiting to know in this way. Shall we? 

Cacao builds trust as the best cooperative partnership facilitator I

know… from being blissed with light in radiant opening and connecting… to emptying emotional-body / pain body density, shifting obsolete dramas, stuck-ness, and conditioning, re-membering / retrieving parts of self, deep energetic restructuring, and the gamut of sub-personalities like inner children and masculine / feminine selves… Transformative journey or… choose ‘safety’ and go absolutely nowhere, a most usable lesson in itself. 

Some into raw foods understand cacao as “the food for the shift” because of its heart-opening qualities. Researchers into ‘Plants of the Gods’ (like Terence McKenna) completely overlooked cacao because it does not act as a psychedelic. Spiritually focused cultures like the Mayans had ‘magic mushrooms’, but their preference was chocolate. Why? Why have hundreds of Mayan style cacao jars from 900 years ago been found in Chaco Canyon (New Mexico) when cacao was 1200 miles away… many times further than mushrooms or peyote? 

You are invited to remember chocolate as Divine... invited to experience what remains the spiritual sacrament of choice for some Indigenous peoples and their Cacao Shamans… invited to participate in the resurgence of an ancient spiritual plant-partner for which you are already prepared, being chocolate-primed within. Chocolate invites you to experience an arena of itself you never dreamed existed. What can I say? Many who believed that a chocolate ceremony is a joke have become grateful enthusiastic supporters and continue this use of cacao. Shall we? 

Contemporary commercial chocolate processing removes the compounds that alter consciousness, removes most of the bioflavonoids / antioxidants of scientific notoriety, and removes most of what increases blood-flow to the brain more than 30%. Even so, the mass-consciousness knows that chocolate should open the heart (chocolate hearts on Valentine’s Day?). In ancient Indigenous poetic language, chocolate was called ‘heart blood’. Is not the fluid that flows through the heart… love? And here we are! 

Drink chocolate - get high - go deep. Real chocolate deepens meditative focus and presents a door, but doesn’t push you through it… doesn’t take you on its’ trip. Cacao as a marvelous heart-centered cooperative partnership facilitator… joins you, your Higher Self, and wherever you source guidance. Whether opening / connecting / expanding – or clearing / releasing… cacao fosters higher-dimensional intimacy and deep significant change. I follow you, assisting as guided. 

The Cacao Deva (the consciousness / spirit behind the form) directs me to the available cacao beans that have a good balance of ingredients and energies for my work. Over the last several years I

have been buying wild-harvested native cacao a few hundred pounds at a time, often from the producers… I bring this Guatemalan cacao for my workshops. Central American cacao that traveled north with the shamans seems to be a bit stronger than the (usually) Ecuadorian cacao available in the raw market. ‘Organic’ cacao is usually from hybridized varieties (easier to grow and process) and variable in the compounds and how much of them are present. 

Ceremonial arrangements: For late-morning starts, I suggest a light breakfast and easy on the coffee/caffeine. Although dandy as mocha, coffee plus ceremonial doses of cacao is way too buzzy, no focus. You won’t want lunch… at any rate please don’t arrive with a full stomach (perhaps thinking you will miss lunch). Bringing water and something to share for a pot-luck to follow is a great idea. Driving, etc. under cacao is no problem. Folks on or just off chemo or strong pharmaceuticals will want to go easy on the cacao until you know how it affects you. Many antidepressants do not mix with the tryptophan and MAO inhibitors in this cacao. Those in need of a good dietary detox may find the liver stimulation of this much bitterness produces a headache and/or nausea 5 to 6 hours later… for which drink water. 

Here are some unsolicited comments following cacao ceremonies: 

“…Keith then spent the next few hours helping each of us through our various emotional/mental/spiritual processes. It was a very safe space and Keith is one of those rare souls - a healer with considerable gifts but without ego or agenda.” 

“Thank you so much for your amazing facilitation and healing powers on Saturday. It felt very special to be able to bring so many people together to work with the good energies. I think everyone had a very profound experience. This was what I wanted to do for my 30th birthday more than anything! And I felt very blessed to be held by beautiful strong people as I went under like that...” 

Cacao is certainly where the buzz is! 

What Else I Am Up To… 

Most of my professional play is without the chocolate – I gently assist people in going inside to move the density and change the belief patterns that influence the experience called reality. I have worked extensively with creative people to help them get out of their own way and open more of whatever is theirs. I spend a lot of time with relationship issues. And certainly, issues of healing and spiritual growth. All those seemingly different manifestations of

what one came into this life to move through. 

I work within anyone’s belief system... no need to endorse mine. I am oriented to practical results that change how one feels and the way they experience their own life. 

As long as your Soul and agreements are taking you there anyway, why not go with more elegance, prosperity, and expansion… and less pain and struggle? With more density for each of us to feel and release… how about allowing more assistance from your own Higher Energies and a deeper partnership with your Unseen Friends / Guides? I share such skills. 

And, growing from my work with couples, and essential in community, I have had a great response from a Spiritual Relationship Workshop that provides the models we didn't grow-up with for the relationship format we can’t escape. It includes experiential meditations to transform your mirrored outside reflections called others… to understandings of basic reality creation principles. After making some changes… it is time to play with, for example: 

For those not partnered, we anchor in a higher probable someone you are already connecting with on causal levels, with agreements to meet if you make your changes... won't meet or recognize as long as you keep the old scripts. Feeling those agreements in essence-level love is a great motivation to encourage the next inner steps. Those with present or absent partners experience their own essence-level agreements. Good play! 

This workshop uses lots of inter-dimensional connecting as, after all, your relationship experience is your swirl of divine separation and intimacy issues focused in the relationship arena, so that you can experience them. “Nothing changes until you do.” I share an understanding of change that works with your own knowing and magic. A Spiritual Relationship... outside of casual sex, what other kind have you had? Where what you have chosen to work with in this lifetime is again in your face… lets shift some things, bring in some clarity, and expand the acceptance known as self-love. 

The Glow Meditation 

For years I have been sharing a meditation that many pick up in a few seconds. Newcomers or decades-long meditators often delight in this way of being with their Light. I am told this is a being rather than a doing… that this meditation does you… that this is experiencing ones Multidimensional Self that is in Oneness, on a feeling / energy level through the full body… that this is blending with your 4th dimensional light-body… and that this is sweet, simple

and deep. 

This experience is an opening to effortless radiance where one overflows with delightful higher energies that are felt through every cell. Not about mind; not beyond mind; not just heart – with your whole being. This is not something learned with the rational mind… do bring this mind along to watch - find out if abundant Light makes it easier to do your inner processing, slow the mind, open the heart, and allow more of whatever dings your dinger. 

As a practice of Higher Dimensional partnership, the basic technique is to fill with / bask in the light, and whatever is next comes up – one block, one expansion at a time – or take what you are working with into this Presence. This energy is also totally directable through intent… send it anywhere! I know people who simply use the Glow as a way to recharge, center, and de-stress… deep, fast, and easy – I hear it beats 2 drinks after work… 

Behind all this an understanding that in a free-will universe, God / Goddess cannot change our reality – as that would violate our free-will. However, beings of light can get themselves bodies and as lanterns bring catalytic Light into this dimension… the Light She cannot bring. Since we are hard-wired for this reality shifting resonance, it is joyously effortless. 

When I see that radiant grin on a face… when even the toes are shining Light… when they know that this energy is both who they really are, and also felt as the Light of Source Herself - a taste of Oneness - then they are certified to transmit it to others. Infectious fun. 

Some experienced meditators adopt this as a method of choice, or blend it with their practice. I often wake up in it. Being in The Glow is easy while walking, doing simple tasks, in conversation, or with many creative activities. Effortless radiance is a delightful resonance, and it alters the reflection outside called reality. 

Yes… go to Glow to change the reality you are experiencing through changing your causal vibration. The Glow helps keep you centered and conscious enough to more often choose the highest good – to better remain energetically transparent (as opposed to protected) and to detach from the scripts we all know so well. 

Being with another who is in, say, dump, blame, anger, or complain mode can be a different experience… for both! Your radiant glowing helps them to move out of the loop they are caught in. The effect is often immediate, and helps one understand that in “you create your own reality... there is no fine print”. Enjoy! 

…I remember the front-piece of an old English cookbook that said: “Love is not only the most important ingredient, it is the only ingredient that really matters”. May I suggest The Glow in the kitchen… The Glow is a great ‘carrier wave’ for whatever you want to send out or invite in. 

And for those into feeling to the bottom and releasing their inner density, the Glow helps you into those places with more ease. Your partnership with Angels / Guides / God-Goddess rides easily on this frequency to assist. Saves playing it out in external objectifications as drama! I teach this work. 

Deeper Transformation and Transmutation through Oneness and Love 

Perhaps we could say that the effortless radiance of The Glow is a practical transformational use of the Oneness pathway, of which Buddha and the Hindu tradition are principle representatives in our world. I also share during a cacao ceremony practical partnering using the pathway known as Cosmic or Christ Consciousness – the Universal Love of which Jesus is the best known representative. 

As with The Glow, most people easily connect and are able to return by choice in the future. Partnering with Love itself… perceived as a large energy without fear (as one might expect)… is most useful with inner barriers such as fear, resistance, conditioned repression, and pain that surround what is otherwise ready for transformation. You might find this helpful in riding the wave of these times as opposed to being hammered in the sand under it. Choice.
