Jedi Meditate
by: Jedi KidohdinYODA: Concentrate...feel the Force flow. Yes. Good. Calm, yes. Through the Force, things you will see. Other places. The future...the past. Old friends long gone. -Episode V
Here Yoda is teaching Luke how to meditate. Luke learned how to concentrate and re-connect with the Living Force. He has achieved a calm mind. Luke then entered into a vision or trance-like state of consciousness and he saw the future.
Luke then saw Han and Leia being tortured by Darth Vader at 'Cloud City' above the soft pink planet of Bespin. He then stopped his Jedi training and dashed off to save his friends.
Meditation is part of being a Jedi and we should try to meditate daily. There are many methods of meditation, but the goal is always the same.
The mind is full of racing and scattered thoughts which block our inner perception. The purpose of meditation is to calm and still the mind. This ‘stilling of the mind’ increases our awareness and helps us to re-connect with the inner Force and our true selves. Every Jedi has to choose which method of meditation is best for them. MTFBWY!
