At Vosges Haut-Chocolat, we believe that love—especially self-love—is a ritual, a practice, a daily devotion. Whether you're celebrating solo, with a friend, or with the one who makes your heart soar, let this be a day of reflection, connection, and indulgence.
A Self-Love Meditation Ritual
For this meditation, you will need something to write with, your gratitude journal (or a piece of paper), and your favorite haut-chocolat. This ritual can be done with or without chocolate. Still, we find it to be more impactful with chocolate, as it acts as the carrier of your intentions throughout the body.
Let us begin...
Find a comfortable, peaceful space to sit in your home or outdoors. Once you are at rest, cross your legs, close your eyes, and remind yourself that you are worthy of deep love. Remind yourself to choose love in your thoughts daily and notice how its influence radiates through all aspects of life.
Open your eyes and list three things you are grateful to yourself for. Then, place the chocolate on the page. Connect with your body by breathing and visualize loving yourself as you are right now.
After penning your gratitude, begin to heal parts of your body by addressing your relationship with them. Place your hands on the places you often criticize and send loving energy and thoughts to this area.
Repeat the ho'oponopono words, "Thank you. I'm sorry. Forgive me. I love you."
As you notice the energy shifting in your body, send the intention of nourishment and love into the chocolate. Uncross your legs and hands, place your feet on the floor, take a deep breath to the count of 5, and exhale to the count of 5. Repeat this 4 times. Imagine the breath moving a bead of light within you from above your crown and down to the earth beneath your feet.
Say out loud: "I see love. I feel love. I taste love. I am love." Close your eyes and visualize this for 11 minutes and 11 seconds.
Now open your eyes and taste. As the chocolate melts into your mouth, notice all sensory cues: how it sounds, feels, smells, looks, and tastes. Imagine the chocolate carrying your intentions past your heart, into the stomach, and radiating throughout your body.
Place your hands gently over your heart. Close your eyes and know in your heart and soul that love surrounds and guides you. Carry this energy with you as you celebrate the day.
To love is to savor, and to savor is to be fully present. Elevate the season of love with our bestselling Valentine's Day collections—a symphony of sacred cacao and exotic parfums that melt on the tongue. Each bite is a reminder that you deserve beauty, pleasure, and love.
May you luxuriate in love this Valentine's Day—the kind that starts within.
