A gentle evening ritual to soften, settle, and restore

The Nighttime Cacao & Nightfall Flow is designed as an evening ritual to help the nervous system unwind, the heart soften, and the body prepare for rest. This is not about stimulation or achievement — it is about presence, warmth, and gentle transition.

This flow can be practised nightly or whenever you feel the need to slow down and come back into yourself.

Step 1 – Prepare the Body | Ceremonial Cacao

Begin by preparing Sacred Taste Ceremonial Cacao with intention. As you sip slowly, allow the warmth to settle into your body.

Ceremonial cacao is traditionally used to:

- Open the heart

- Calm the mind

- Relax the nervous system

- Support emotional processing

This step helps move awareness out of the head and into the body, making meditation and reflection feel softer and more accessible.

Step 2 – Set the Space | Lavender Sage or Palo Santo

Light a White Sage & Lavender smudge stick or Palo Santo and gently clear your space. This signals to your nervous system that the day is complete and it is safe to rest.

Lavender brings a calming, soothing quality, supporting evening rituals and sleep preparation.

Step 3 – Anchor the Ritual | Nightfall Meditation & Sleep Kit

Use the elements of the Nightfall Meditation & Sleep Ritual Kit to anchor your practice:

- Amethyst to calm mental chatter and invite inner stillness

- Abalone shell as a grounding ritual vessel

- Gentle repetition to build safety and consistency

Sit quietly, breathe slowly, and allow the ritual to unfold without forcing insight.

Step 4 – Integration

Finish your ritual with journaling, breathwork, or simply resting in silence. You may choose to take a warm bath or prepare for sleep directly after.

This flow supports:

- Emotional integration

- Nervous system regulation

- A smoother transition into rest

A Gentle Reminder

This ritual is not about doing it “right.” Even a few minutes of presence is enough. Allow this flow to become something familiar and comforting over time.
