MEXICAN BIRTHING
CHOCOLATE
*In Traditional Mexico
the Birthing Woman is seen and respected as a Warrior - She is putting her life
on the line to create the next generation. This is the Female Rite of Passage
where each individual will open her Brain Body and Heart to this life changing
experience.
* The appropriate
gifts for such a warrior is chocolate.
Recipie
2Litres clean water
1 big bunch of Rosemary
1 Big handfull of Avocado leaves
some sprigs of sage
13 cloves
12
peppercorns, Black or Rose
4inch of cinnamon stick
1big handfull of cocoa (pure chocolate)
or 3-4 bars of 80% dark chocolate
*This recipie is one
handed down from 'The Grandmothers' the original holders of birthing knowledge
whose line of wisdom has never been broken by industrial medicine.
*Chocolate contains
Theobromine which is a pre cursor to Oxytocin , the opening of Mind, Heart,
Body and Soul is created by, a rush of this hormone, opening the brain to Theta
levels of activity where past experiences can be over written with newer more
empowering stories.
*The spices are all
ones which create heat, warmness is needed to promote the feeling of well being
and safety.
*The herbs are ones
that promote courage, in the Body , Heart and Mind and also actively work on
the muscles of the womb to correctly position the baby , calmly and gently, and
then firmly eject the baby when the cervix is fully open.
Method
* Put the spices in the water and bring to
boil, simmer till the liquid halves( this is called decoction)
* Take the liquid off
the heat and add the herbs, making sure that they are under the water, Cover
this and let stand until it is tepid ( this is steeping)
* when liquid is cool
strain off the pieces.
* heat the now
beautifully smelly maroon clear liquid to warm , add the chocolate and stir
till not lumpy.
* the mixture does not
have to boil! The cooler the better really cos then the chocolate keeps its
proper molecular structure.
* The mother can drink
this freely as and when she desires
* Give this to anyone
who comes near or is entering the birthing space
The group as a whole
supports the birthing woman, Mind Body and Soul, collectively as one mind women
create a stronger woman , a stronger loving space that the baby will want to be
born into.
Not all peoples brains
and hearts are easily opened by words to the same level so the chocolate uses
taste, heat and smell stimuli to change head spaces to make them more conducive
to creating a Positive , Loving Birthspace.
LOVE
