Foods that Promote Family Harmony
The act of eating together itself promotes family harmony. So does sharing other activities together as a family; playing games, watching movies and working on projects like gardening and decorating. If you're going through a particularly troubled time in your family, however, you may wish to give your harmony a boost by adding some special foods to your family meals to encourage everyone to just get along.
Add some harmonious energy to foods by carving symbols for peace and love into vegetables before cooking or outlining the shape of these symbols in the air over your food as you sprinkle seasonings or dressings onto it. Sing a song that represents family harmony as you work, like "We are Family" by Sister Sledge, or have it playing in the background if you aren't the type to sing while you work.
Serve your meal in a setting that promotes harmony. Use blue and white candles, cloths and place settings. Scent the candles with mint, vanilla or basil oil and use mint or basil sprigs as garnish. You can also place family photos on the table in an attractive centerpiece arrangement.
