Cacao

Some of the physical benefits that cacao provides are

the intense amount of antioxidants, highest plant based source of iron, full of magnesium for a healthy heart and brain, jam packed with flavonoids, loaded with calcium, and a natural mood elevator and anti-depressant due to its stimulation of important neurotransmitters. Not to mention the effects that theobromine have on the central nervous system. Really the list could go on and on and those are just some of the physical health benefits. Now let’s talk about the spiritual properties found in ceremonial cacao.

Cacao is a sacred plant for many indigenous communities throughout Central and South America.

The use of this sacred plant goes back thousands of years and each native community that has used it in ceremonial ways has their own set of beliefs and rituals. It is a monumental task to explain the sacredness of this plant in a few sentences, so we seek to humbly share some of the common beliefs and educate newcomers about the inherent spiritual qualities experienced when you consume this food of the Gods, as the Maya people refer to it.

Cacao is considered a heart opening elixir. What exactly does that mean? What do you mean cacao will open my heart? Well, what we mean by this is that cacao’s physical properties of stimulating blood flow to your heart along with the sacred prayers placed into the seeds, plant, fruit, and cacao beans by the native people produce profound effects on the consumer.

Leona is made of ceremonial cacao grown and prayed over by the Arhuaco tribe of Northern Colombia. Throughout its life cycle these sacred plants are revered as holy and taken care of with tremendous dignity and respect. The Arhuaco tribe of Colombia live in the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta. For the Arhuacos, the Sierra is the heart of the world. This is how they refer to their native land. And part of Arhuaco cosmology believes that the health and well being of the entire world depends on the state of the Sierra. For these people, the protection of the Sierra is directly related to how everyone on Earth survives and thrives. As they pray over the sacred cacao plant they consider that their thoughts, or pensamnientos, are transmuted into the cacao beans. And thus ingested by the consumer of the cacao remedy once it is prepared at a later time. The belief that these good thoughts and ancestral knowings be shared with others is a core principle to experiencing cacao through Leona.

If you have arrived at this page, we believe it is because you are ready to begin your conscious micro-dosing experience. There is a lot of information out there in the world right now about the benefits of using psilocybin mushrooms and non-psychoactive mushrooms. We encourage you to explore resources in this matter so that you may feel educated and comfortable with this topic. Our goal is not to convince you of its effects or benefits, but to share testimony to how it has changed and improved our lives. And then provide you with guidance and support when you are ready to take on this new journey. Even if you are a seasoned mushroom taker, or attended a cacao ceremony in the past. We invite you to open your heart and mind to a newfound way to relate to these ancestral remedies through the frequency of Leona.

One of our missions is to educate the Leona family about intentional psilocybin mushroom use.

Psilocybin mushrooms are a very potent instrument for awakening consciousness.

Leona is a tool to help people explore different realms of consciousness as part of the human experience. As with any tool, it is very important to understand how to use this tool in order to operate it with safety, respect, and best practice. Using Leona as a tool in its highest form and with the purest intentions is a sure fire method to experience its upmost potential and magic.

While using psilocybin mushrooms our state of consciousness raises to a higher frequency and thus offers us a deeper perspective into our lives. Consider this metaphor… Imagine you are in the first floor of a very high building.

From the first floor of this building your view is limited to the things you can see right in front of you. And even those things may be obstructed because of your view or because of the angle in which you can gain sight of them. Now if you take the elevator and go further up in this building then your view of everything expands. You are now able to see more of the objects surrounding you, other buildings, trees, the street, and begin to understand the structure of the city around you. When consuming Leona you are activating parts of your mind and heart that provide you access with new floors, doors, windows, and views into spaces that you hold within you. We believe accessing these internal spaces promotes more authentic communication with yourself about your needs and desires.

Needs for healing, needs for releasing, needs for seeking. Desires to remember, desires to pursue, desires to honor. We carry so much energetic information inside of ourselves at all times yet our daily routines and ways of relating often leave us ignoring our true needs and desires. It is our hope that Leona serves to stimulate and push you to explore these spaces. May the dialogue you create within yourself promote beautiful communication with those you love. For we know that the deeper work is found in applying these lessons you gain during a Leona cycle in your daily lives. Integrating the divine information gained during a cacao and psilocybin micro-dosing cycle is a life changing process.
