ABC-i Practice

Alignment| "Calling In" (someway to call people's attention in)

The purpose of Alignment is to become mindful of the collective start time and our individual posture/readiness.

Suggested Alignment Practice: OneAlignment

In Person:

• One person snaps fingers once (or claps once) to alert the group they are "ready" to begin & that person adjusts their posture as needed.
• Each person snaps (or claps) once to signal the group they are also "ready" and adjusts their posture as needed.
• After last person signals, everyone snaps (or claps) together to signify a collective start.

On Video Conferencing:

• One person raises one finger & adjusts their posture as needed
• Each person raises finger and adjusts their posture to signal they are ready to begin too
• After last person signals, everyone lowers fingers together to signify a collective start

Breathing| Mind & Heart-fully breathing together followed by silence.

This could be just a moment of silence, guided, or un-guided.
