Morning rituals
Full Power your mornings this Veganuary with the sacred ritual of cacao
Reading time: 4-5 minutes
As we step into 2025, there’s no better time to align with new, soul-nourishing habits. At Full Power Cacao (fullpowercacao.com), they believe in the magic of mornings — transform the way you greet each day with a heart full of gratitude, purpose and spiritual clarity. Imagine waking up, feeling centred and divinely connected, ready to embrace each moment with grace. And what better companion for this sacred ritual than a nourishing cup of rich, velvety ceremonial grade cacao?
In ancient Mesoamerican cultures, cacao was revered as a sacred elixir, a gift from the gods used in rituals to open the heart and elevate the spirit. You can adapt this ancient knowledge for yourself into practices that ground and empower you, helping you set intentions from a place of pure love and divine alignment.
Ceremonial cacao, with its natural feel-good compounds like anandamide and theobromine, help to release bliss chemicals around the body, acting as a bridge — lifting your energy and guiding you to higher states of consciousness. This isn’t just a wellness trend; it’s a spiritual practice, a way to manifest your deepest desires with clarity and joy.
The folks at Full Power Cacao believe that the way you start your day shapes the energy you bring to the world. It’s not just about waking up but about rising with a sense of devotion, fully aware of the sacredness in each moment. Its cacao serves as a powerful ally, opening your heart and allowing you to connect deeply with your intentions. A great addition this Veganuary as more souls embrace compassionate, plant-based living.
Its founder, Liam Browne, a yoga teacher and healer understands the spiritual power of new beginnings. In 2012, he embarked on a journey to Guatemala that changed his life, experiencing the heart-opening magic of ceremonial cacao, which sparked a passion that has blossomed in the decade since.
His work with cacao is his most cherished offering — a way to connect people to their divinity, awaken their hearts and elevate their souls. Through Full Power Cacao, he’s sharing this healing energy with the world.
“Our cacao is truly special, a sacred gift sourced from the Sur De Lago region of Venezuela. It’s pure, ceremonial-grade cacao, lovingly nurtured by 2,500 family farmers who work in harmony with the land. It’s organic, non-GMO, Halal, and 100% vegan — perfect for those embracing Veganuary with the intention of living more mindfully and embracing their yogic nature.” When you prepare a cup of Full Power, he says, you’re not just drinking cacao, you’re receiving a blessing packed with antioxidants, minerals and mood-enhancing compounds. It’s an invitation to experience the divine within.
“Our commitment goes beyond what’s in your cup. We honour the Earth and the hands that care for it through our partnership with the Plan Más Cacao project, ensuring our cacao is sustainably and ethically sourced. By supporting positive impact that ripples out across generations. This is cacao that uplifts and heals — not just the drinker, but the planet and its people.”
2024 marked a huge moment for the company after its founder appeared on BBC’s Dragons’ Den, where its mission resonated deeply with ‘dragons’ Gary Neville, Steven Bartlett and Peter Jones. With their investment, it is amplifying its reach, envisioning a world where cacao takes its rightful place as a morning ritual, replacing coffee with a heart-centred, soulful alternative by 2032. It’s a call to awaken, to embrace a gentler, more harmonious way of living, says Browne.
“So, if you’re ready to step into 2025 with divine intention, start with your mornings. At Full Power, we’re not just sharing cacao, we’re spreading love, unity and spiritual healing, one sacred sip at a time. Rise with reverence, set your intentions with clarity, and connect deeply with the vibration of love. Don’t just live; live Full Power and align with your highest self.”
