Here is a suggested script:

1. This short exercise give us the opportunity to transition from our last activity, and fully arrive to this meeting.  
2. Please close your eyes if you are comfortable doing so, or it’s just fine to keep your eyes open and have a soft gaze downwards. If you don’t want join in for this, that’s fine, you can just sit silently.
3. Bring attention to how you are sitting, and find a way to be relaxed and alert at the same time.  (pause)
4. Bring attention to your breath, and notice how you are breathing.  If you’d like, take some deeper, slower breaths.  Let’s give ourselves permission to let go of our busy day and become present together.”  

(Then stay silent for about one minute to give them time to ‘be’.)

• To guide them out of the exercise, say And now, to end this time, you can invite a bit of movement into your body, perhaps move your hands and feet, or stretch if you’d like. (pause)
• If you have your eyes closed, you can now slowly open your eyes when you’re ready.

(Wait a few moments to allow people time to bring their attention back to the group.)

• Thank you for doing this.  I hope this was a welcome little break.   Maybe you can notice how you feel right now, and if you feel any different than you felt before we did this. And perhaps you feel more present and focused, ready to come together as a group.  Thank you.
