Message from Archangel Raguel featuring the symbolism of chocolate

The symbolism of chocolate

Many centuries ago the Mayans and Aztecs held spiritual rituals based on raw cacao, calling it the food of the Gods, and recognizing its healing abilities as well as its capability to connect and inspire. Chocolate, made from cacao, contains many beneficial substances, that nourish our physical and energetic bodies, like antioxidants, magnesium, and theobromine, which is known to stimulate the heart and open up our bloodvessels, bringing about that well known euphoric and loving feeling we get when we eat chocolate. As the ultimate heart-opener, chocolate assists in deepening our connection with our inner self as well as others and accessing our inner wisdom.

On the one hand chocolate brings a boost of energy to our body and soul and on the other hand it helps us to become peaceful and calm as it encourages us to release the burdens that we are carrying on our shoulders and embrace a more positive outlook on life aimed at nourishment, enjoyment, and relaxation. Chocolate also enhances our meditation experiences and our creative side. The deep rich colour of chocolate is a mixture of black and brown, which symbolically refers to setting up healthy boundaries and implementing structure in our lives. The natural cacao in our chocolate products helps us to ground ourselves and live in the present moment.

A channeled message from Archangel Raguel

My beloved ones,

It is a great honour and privilige to visit you and share with you a message of love and hope. I, Archangel Raguel, am here to expand further on the opening of your heart with chocolate as a wonderful symbolic representation of the energies that I wish to make known to you and transfer to your beautiful being. As the Archangel that oversees and helps you with elevating your relationships, I would like to address two important aspects regarding this topic. The first one is the relationship you have with yourself, which encompasses the communion with your soul and the higher realms, and the second one is your relationship with others and the world around you. The depth and quality of your relationships, whether with yourself or with others, depends on the state of your heart and the extend to which you allow love, compassion, and peace to flow to and through you. When your energy-vibration is solidly anchored in love for yourself and others, this is what you will see all around you, in people, situations, and in your material and natural environment. Love will be reflected back to you wherever you go. I would like to guide you to this experience, dear ones, by teaching you about the processes of your heart and how you can contribute to the well-being of your precious heart-space. It is your responsibility after all to determine how you wish to respond to life and if you wish to improve and elevate your mental, emotional, and spiritual state.

If we would have to translate the effects of consuming chocolate into feelings, what would they be? Most of you would agree that words like rich, sweet, nourishing, luxurious, warm, comforting, loving, and lavishing come to your mind, filling you with joy and anticipation. This is exactly what your heart should feel like, but also the way you think about your own soul and existence. Your are here to experience the fullness of life and the potential of your own being. When you degrade yourself by thinking you are anything less than what I have just described for you, you are placing yourself out in the cold by distancing yourself from your true self and believing that you are only a small and deprived version of the magnificent being that you really are. Instead of enjoying a warm fire of passion, enthusiasm, and a playful lightheartedness that burns in your heart, you lock the door on it and retreat to your mind, where none of these feelings can be found, because the mind is logical and helps you plan and find solutions in your daily life, but it is cold and distant when it is not connected to the energies of your heart.

You are not meant to solely dwell in your mind, dear ones. The mind is a tool to assist the heart and the energies that lift up your soul. So, let us tell the mind that it needs to focus on the opening of the heart and tell it that sidetracks and delays are not appreciated. Let us tell the mind that the heart is the motor of our existence and that we need to spend time there to get to know its true worth and value and collect useful inspiration and enthusiasm to work with. When you bring the focus of your mind to the heart, you must tell it that the heart speaks a different language, that can only be heard in stillness and through your feelings and intuition. Patience and respect are required when visiting the heart, but the heart will undoubtedly deliver great gifts to the mind in return, a wisdom that is beyond comprehension and that will bring freedom, peace, and relief from obsessive, limiting, and anxious ways of thinking. Not only stillness through meditation will soothe the mind into allowing the heart to speak for a while, but also simple, grounding activities that promote self-care, bring comfort and pleasure to your physical bodies, and support the natural energies of the heart, which is another symbolic meaning of chocolate. Where the mind often is like a strict, serious, and authorative person in your life, your heart is like your best friend with whom you enjoy life, laugh, and have fun, but who also loves you unconditionally and comforts and cares for you when you need it. As a human being you need both your mind and heart to work harmoniously together and recognize the value they both bring to your life’s experience. This is how you establish a healthy outlook on yourself and your life as well as create a solid basis for relationships with others.

When you practice sinking into your heart and learning to understand its language, you will automatically open the door to the higher realms and you will start to notice that the warmth of you own heart starts to vibrate with the high frequency energies of love and light. The flow of well-being from the universe will fill up your physical and energetic bodies through your heart, enlightening your mind and anchoring your body solidly to the earth. A profound sense of joy, appreciation, and gratitude will arise as you witness the unfolding of your life’s experience to be effortless, synchronistic, and easy. When your heart becomes your best friend, you will be able to see the angels as your best friends and no longer as beings that are far away from you and that require conditions to be met in order to help or appreciate you. The angels are always right beside you and they love and support you unconditionally. Unlike most of you, they experience complete oneness with the Source of all that is and therefore they are able to recognize you as a valuable part of that Source as well. They will never cease to knock on the door of your heart, although they will never force you to open up. They simply remain patiently present in their magnificent and neverending field of love and light and when one of you, dear ones, opens the metaphorical door of your heart to them, they rejoice and welcome you home with open arms.

As you learn to walk in the warmth of your own heart and trust that its fire will keep on burning steadily, and you have acknowledged the angels to be your confidants, friends, supporters, and even playmates in the game of life, you will know how to attract and maintain beautiful relationships with your fellow human beings. Allow those relationships to be the reflection of your own love, the love you have for yourself and the love you feel for and from your Source. An open heart that is supported by a clear mind, a mind that knows the value of the wisdom of the heart, will bring joy, compassion, and love into the world, but most of all it will be receptive of all the goodness of life. It keeps reminding you that keeping your own inner fire burning is essential for your well-being and the thriving of your relationships with others. Make sure to never run out of firewood, dear ones, and make yourself and your happiness your first priority by tending to your beautiful heart through meditation and excellent self-care on every level of your being! With great love I greet you, my beloved ones, and remember that I am always by your side to love and support you in this lifetime!
