=Meditation= (By Sam)(ael) (Return to Teachings)

There are several Ideas of meditation floating around in society that have widely branched from the original and correct method and purpose of Meditation.

Meditation is to direct attention. Focus attention. Heighten Awareness.

Some may think of this as a restive state. Sitting and relaxing into your surroundings and regenerating from your hard day or even sitting peacefully before a training exercise. There is a difference. Preperation for meditation encompasses relaxation and finding peace but meditation is an action and it stretches the muscles of awareness.

The three uses for meditation are listed below: -Gaining control of your thoughts -Resting, regenerating, pondering -Focusing powerfully upon a question or task

Most meditation that is taught will be meditation on controlling your thoughts, subduing the wild mind to your will. This is what unlocks your inner powers and allows you to gain control of your life.

The Process of meditation : During Meditation one closes out distractions of the mind. Random ideas that pop up are unwelcome. Practice absolute focus. Often students practice focusing on one of their five senses at a time sharpening them and tuning everything else out. Meditation is a great time to practice breath control (See swords and fists). Concentrating only on the sensations. You will be surprised how quickly thoughts and wories and that song you have been listening to pop into your head. Meditation is the practice of clearing the distractions away by focusing on your senses.

Mastery of Meditation : The final goal of the practice of meditation is to: at all times posess complete focus, and a completely still mind. This is called 'active meditation' and can be practiced without sitting. Meditation is to be used at every moment of the day all day long, and increases the quality of your life, the efficiency of your actions, and the speed with which you may learn and react to dangerous situations.

The force and Meditation : As you discipline yourself you will find your abilities with the force becoming greater. As you clear your mind of distractions so that it is as still as a pool you will find your control and force senses greatly advanced. Meditation may also be used to help you use the force. It is an excellent way to gather force energy and meditating on tough problems or using powerful Force powers while meditating may even be necessary because of the level of focus required.

Master Mi-Zhe Fu's Meditation (Required)

Relax and breathe slowly. Imagine the look and feel of the Force coming into you from above (or from the earth through your feet). After a while you can start to imagine natural scenes (like oceans, mountains, and the cosmos). Doing this meditation will allow you to gain more strength with the Force.

 * Jedi Meditation I :

Jedi Meditation II : Relax and breathe slowly. Clear your mind and think of nothing. Don't even think of the thought of nothing. Don't think about time passing by either. Do this for as long as you can. This surprisingly takes a lot of concentration. Some people find it easy to meditate standing up when doing this. This meditation will allow a Jedi to have more control with the Force.

A Jedi Student should be working on meditating a lot. Before becoming a Jedi Knight you should be able to meditate for a whole 30 mins.

May the Force be with you.

Jedi Master, Mi-Zhe Fu ||
