Cacao Elixir – By John Croft – “Cacao Addict”
When I have a mindfulness or meditation group to facilitate, I find this tonic really assists in opening the heart and stilling the mind. Cacao has been used in ceremonies for centuries as a tonic to bring the mind, body and spirit back into balance. With the addition of the other ingredients it is such a healing elixir.

- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
