A peaceful attitude and an uplifting prayer can give that extra, indescribable touch to a nutritious meal. When the family is seated, a prayer of blessing and thanksgiving is a priceless habit. These few seconds can calm you down after a hectic day. Your breath relaxes and your stomach has a chance to unwind so adequate digestive juices can be available for digestion. This blessing time brings your family into the "present," in thankfulness, to share the Earth's bounties.
In our 3HO community, we sing SAT NAAM three times aloud to bless the food. SAT is sung long and followed by a short NAAM. Children love sound and are delighted to sing SAT NAAM. If there are children in your household, they may enjoy saying a short prayer after SAT NAAM is sung.
