Chocolate Minerals

I almost never eat sweets. My late husband died on a cruise ship (great venue for passing) from diabetic shock. I guess you could say the sugar finally got him. I remember sitting in the ship’s morgue, in shock, committing to myself that I am not going to eat sweets for one year – just because. I think we can all agree that sugar is a crystallized form of the devil. LOL.

I was never a big, sweet eater anyway so quitting sweets was not as hard as it might be for some – you know who I’m talking to, right honey? An amazing thing happened during my sojourn away from sweets. I lost 50 pounds and began to really love and appreciate my body. To this day I will only have a bite of my new husband’s dessert on occasion. Well, I do make an exception on my birthday for a piece of lemon meringue pie. Yum.

The other day however, my neighbor was baking something for a neighborhood bake sale and she literally beseeched me to try a bite. The bite turned into finishing a whole piece of her decadent delight. Did I ever pay the price!

I did not get a wink of sleep that night. I tossed and turned wondering if I would ever get to sleep when I finally realized and later confirmed with the baker that I ate dark chocolate. Chocolate contains caffeine – a huge no-no for me. I usually sleep like a baby.  What power, what substance has the power to literally hold me hostage to its will for eight hours. I vowed to look up the minerals in chocolate since I’m right smack dab in the middle of penning Mineral Speak, the Language of Minerals, part of my six-book series on crystals and their outworking’s. Here’s what I discovered about minerals, chocolate, and caffeine.

Dark chocolate is made from cocoa beans that are really pits of red berries. Dark chocolate contains the minerals magnesium, zinc, Iron, potassium, sulfur, calcium, and copper as well as lipids and chemicals (anandamides, theobromines and phenols) which each in their own way stimulate the nervous system leading to all kinds of exciting behaviors such as the insomnia that I was experiencing. Not to mention, God added a small dose of caffeine to the cocoa bean (pit) as well.

Besides offering an opportunity to have feelings of bliss, dark chocolate is considered a super food and rightfully so. Pure dark chocolate stimulates the brain to release neurotransmitters that can trigger response of both euphoria and sadness. Dark chocolate has been proven to affect the immune system and genetic activity. Dark chocolate can also inhibit the body’s absorption of iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium while it helps to flush excess water from the body. The experience of dark chocolate is said to carry the potential to put one in a “state of bliss”.  It is a bit difficult for me to wrap my arms around so much power packed into a tiny pit located in a little red berry.  God is so amazing! Milk chocolate is a result of adding milk to chocolate processing and like anything else, after it is diluted, loses the “super food” moniker.

So, is this blog a dissertation on my insomnia or the benefits of chocolate? You decide. I am hoping to bring to light several things. First are always the amazing designs of God…in all things, even a berry pit. Secondly, I’m attempting to show the power minerals, lipids and other chemicals have over the human body. Normally I sleep like a rock. Inject a little chocolate into a bloodstream which hasn’t seen chocolate in a long time and WHAM! I lost 8 hours of unrecoverable sleep. Sleep is designed to give the body “healing” time for all mind-bodies, physical, mental, emotional and to allow a deeper connection to the spirit mind-body as well.

There are over 4,000 Minerals on Earth each with their own unique combinations of Earth’s 118 elements. The energetic vibrations of minerals are the most direct external manifestation of the Earth’s energy field influencing every living organic organism of not only our planet but other planets of our Universe.

I guess I needed to be reminded of the amazing power minerals have on each and every one of us. Also, I think I will keep an arsenal of dark chocolate around for those that need a little more bliss while in my presence.

What’s in your mineral wallet?
