4 Ceremonial Cocoa Recipes: Everyday Life, Meditation & Ceremony
Heart-opening rituals with raw cocoa – with dosage, preparation, four recipes and safety instructions.
Dosage recommendations
- Everyday dose: 10–20 g – gently invigorating, ideal for morning rituals or creative work.
- Meditative dose: approx. 20 g – supports presence and heart opening.
- Ceremonial dose: 30–40 g – use powerfully, consciously in rituals.
These guidelines are proven for high-quality, 100% pure ceremonial cocoa.
Temperature for maximum nutrients
Heat water or plant milk max. 45 °C . In this way, antioxidants, minerals and the fine energy of the cocoa are preserved in the best possible way. Higher temperatures can affect aroma and recyclable materials.
Tip: If you can dip your finger briefly without it being too hot, you are usually in the right area.
Basics of preparation
- Finely chop the cocoa: on a wooden board that you use exclusively for cocoa.
- Mixing: froth by hand with a whisk or hand blender until creamy.

- Medication: Do not combine with MAOIs or certain heart medications; in case of doubt, consult a doctor.
- Frequency: Do not take ceremonial doses (30–40 g) daily – leave room for integration.
- Sensitivities: In case of histamine/caffeine sensitivity, high blood pressure or heart issues, dose carefully.
- Hydration: Drink enough water, especially at higher doses.
Ritual Clue
Prepare your cocoa consciously: stir by hand or with a hand blender, with intention or singing. Finely cut the cocoa on your own wooden board – used only for cocoa – and drink slowly, presently and gratefully.
