=Lesson 5: Using the Force= (By Sam)(ael) (Return to Lessons) (Return to Teachings)

Using the force is an extension of thought and emotion. By letting the force flow through us we empower ourselves with it’s energies. A force user must practice holding this energy and channeling it into the various abilities so that it will not drain the body and mind to much, and so that they can do it more powerfully. This is how you do it:

The force is an ocean, a river, and you are to let the energy of the force flow through you filling you with the energy and taking the excess away.
 * Flow**

As you get better at meditations such as the emptiness meditation your thoughts will become your own more and more. When you have more control of your thoughts your control of the force will be more precise and you will be able to do more complicated things.
 * Direction**

As you practice holding the energy of the force within you and directing it, you will be able to hold more of the energy. This is important for obvious reasons. The more energy you have the more you can do.
 * Strength**

Finally your practice in performing Force powers and abilities will make you more skilled with the powers and abilities you are using. This can conserve energy and grant you advantages even against other force users. In addition, the more skill you possess the more varied your force abilities will become making you a more versatile character which is also highly beneficial.
