Happy New Year. May 2026 be full of health, prosperity and love. This month’s meditation follows a slightly different format. It will be a mini cacao ceremony where I first invite you to mindfully drink a cup of ceremonial cacao and then meditate on how you can occupy your place in the world with compassion.

Recipe:

150ml milk, oat, almond milk or tea

10 gram ceremonial cacao or dark chocolate with high cacao contents

Optional:

Sugar to taste

Cinnamon

Vanilla sugar or paste

A drop of rose water

Method:

Pour liquid into a small pot and slowly heat it. Do not boil.

Add chocolate to melt and spices.

Careful with rosewater as it can overpower all other flavours easily.

Stir to fully melt chocolate and pour into your favourite mug.

Not sure which ceremonial cacao to purchase?
