Feature: Social Breath Counting This feature contains social breath counting exercises that have been tried and proven in small (2-3) and large (6-8) groups. If in a larger group, be sure to increase the count cap to a larger number, keep it less than 15 to help avoid the numbers popping out of people's short-term memory (this can be waived depending on the group, practice will give you the context you need to understand this the best). Background: Given no assumption about meditation background for any participant And an open mind And a willingness to learn Scenario: 10 minute social breath counting (participant) As a participant In order to be mindful of the body's breath Given I maintain a counter of breaths And I take a nice, peaceful breath in at my own pace When I exhale, at the end of the exhale Then I increment the counter and speak the newly updated value But if someone else speaks at the same time Then I continue as if nothing happened But I don't increment the counter Then if the counter hits ten, the next number is one Then repeat until the organizer ends the session Scenario: 10 minute social breath counting (organizer) As an organizer In order to help facilitate the participant's breath counting Given I set a timer for ten minutes somehow And I start it when everyone is ready And I start the process of counting breaths When something interferes and people get out of flow Then I will help guide the group back into mindfulness When the timer goes off Then I will silence it ASAP Then I will help lead the group to the next count of 10 Then I will end the session Then I will talk with the participants about their meditative path But I will not judge their stories
