Ritual for Better Family Communication

The holidays season is here and, for many, that means more time with family —- both nuclear and extended. It seems inevitable that unresolved disagreements, mistakes and misunderstandings will rear their ugly heads. Turn your dining table into a “secret weapon” against bickering and family blow-ups.

ITEMS NEEDED

• Dining table

• Blessed water

• Clean cloth

WHAT TO DO

• Ground & Center

• Dampen cloth with blessed water

• Wipe table while saying:

Let this table be a place of comfort.

May it serve as a place to learn, to support, and to share.

May the communication around it be clear, respectful and loving at all times.

And so it is.
