Magnesium is also highly beneficial for heart function, helping to relax the blood vessels. Cacao also contains a very unique chemical compound called Theobromine that stimulates the circulatory system. Theobromine can imbue us with a long lasting cycle of energy by subtly stimulating the heart with a simultaneous relaxation of muscle tissue, resulting in lower blood pressure with improved blood flow.What you could feel with Sacred Cacao:Feeling more grounded within oneself, but also an elevating / lifting energy - An open heart sensation - Pure happiness and bliss - A deeper connection with life - A feeling of belonging and love toward others -A desire to be kind - An ease to speak your Truth - A remembrance of ancestral practicesOther benefits includeHelps with cardiovascular healthDilates blood vessels and reduces blood clottingAssists in regulating heartbeat and blood pressureReduces the risk of stroke and risk of heart attacksHelps to protect from environmental and metabolic toxinsActs as an antidepressant and balances the moodBalances the brain chemistryBuilds strong bonesHelps to reduce PMS symptoms and regulates itHelps to increase focus and alertnessDetoxifies the liverHelps with healthy pancreas functionFacilitates anti-aging and rejuvenation* All tickets are non-refundable* https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/387be9e0-ace1-11f1-bbec-37f8bea94583-rimg-w593-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg Jeffrey Connors, also known as as eljeffre, is a multi-instrumentalist musical artist primarily active in New York City. He focuses both in the wildly expressive nightlife scene and also in areas where the focus is more so oriented toward healing, focus and integration. Despite these areas being seemingly opposed, he brings a common energy of ingenuity, artistry and connection to every circumstance - continuously finding that the shadow work at night informs the light work during the day.His work with Cacao has taught him much over the years, namely that one must quiet the mind in order to listen better to the subtleties of the heart. Every Cacao ceremony ends up being a ritual into the exploration of these subtleties, and he expresses this in the way he plays music during ceremony. Attention to the slightest sonic sensations seems to stimulate the strongest sense of musical wonder in such scenarios.Within the context of ceremony you will most likely find him playing guitar, flute, drum and synthesizer - as well as prepared soundscapes & samples. He strives toward the evocation of a sense of ancient future, combining timeless traditions with the latest technological capabilities. Doing so allows one to acknowledge the ways of the elders before our time, while also taking up their example of forging forward into new understandings using the means and tools of the current zeitgeist. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/3889a580-ace1-11f1-bbec-37f8bea94583-rimg-w538-h740-dc180808-gmir.jpg SARA, a soulful alchemist of the heart, a guardian of the earth, and a nurturing community builder from Medellin, Colombia.
