Ceremonial cocoa also strengthens the immune system thanks to flavonoids and antioxidants. Cocoa is also believed to increase well-being due to the content of the amino acid tryptophan, which stimulates the production of serotonin – the happiness hormone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCocoa also contains neurotransmitters and molecules that provide feelings of euphoria, well-being and pleasure, such as anandamide and endocannabinoids, which are produced by the body itself but are increased by cocoa consumption. Drink cocoa in the morning, during or after meditation, use it holistically in cocoa circles, to dissolve emotional tension or incorporate it into your diet as a superfood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003cb\u003ePREPARATION OF THE KAKORI RITUAL\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Chop approx. 20 g of cocoa with a knife.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Heat up water (180–200 ml) or herbal drink of your choice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Place the chopped cocoa in a saucepan and gradually add hot water (not boiling, as this will damage the flavor and properties of the cocoa); stir until dissolved.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Add the rest of the water.
