Butterfly Girl’s Practice To Welcome Euphoria
STEEP WITH EUPHORIA
A Steeping Ritual Practice
Prepare your tea and create a quiet place to simply be.
Light a candle. Put on soft instrumental music. As your tea steeps, look at the Seed of Love: Euphoria shown here on the page.
Read the words slowly.
Blissful. Heart-Opening. Comforting.
Notice which word or phrase speaks to you.
Choose just one.
Perhaps it is pleasure.
Perhaps celebration.
Perhaps connection.
There is no right word to choose. Simply notice what draws your attention.
As you sip your tea and listen to the music, softly repeat that word or phrase to yourself.
There is nothing you need to force.
Simply stay with the word and notice what it awakens in you.
Notice any feelings, memories, sensations, images, or insights that begin to arise.
Stay with whatever feeling of Euphoria begins to unfold, and remain with it as long as you can.
As you move into the rest of your day, see how many times you can return to and remember this feeling.

MEET THE PLANT
Cacao
(Theobroma cacao)
Cacao has been treasured in Central and South America for thousands of years and held an important place in the ceremonial and everyday lives of ancient Mesoamerican cultures. Cacao beverages were associated with gathering, ritual, celebration, hospitality, and exchange, and the plant eventually became so valued that cacao beans were even used as currency.
Its botanical name, Theobroma, means “food of the gods.”
Historically, cacao was also used medicinally for a remarkably wide range of purposes. Modern research has focused especially on cacao’s naturally occurring flavanols and methylxanthines, including theobromine. These compounds have been studied for their effects on circulation, cardiovascular function, cognition, and mood.
Research suggests that flavanol-rich cacao may support blood flow and aspects of cognitive function, while cacao and chocolate have also been studied for their relationship to positive mood. ( PubMed Central (PMC) )
Beyond its chemistry, cacao has remained a plant of pleasure, gathering, nourishment, and shared experience across generations.

CULTIVATE THROUGH PRACTICE
Just as you tend to your Seed of Love and cultivate its qualities over time, your relationship with plants can deepen through consistency and mindfulness. Spend time with your herbs and medicinal plants. Be present with your tea. Allow the plant’s nature to become deeply familiar to you. Through consistent, mindful use, you give yourself the opportunity to receive the plant more fully and embody the qualities it represents
within yourself.
Choose one plant to spend time with consistently for 4–6 weeks, and notice what begins to unfold.
