Meditation can be a sensitive subject for many people, especially if someone like myself proclaims that meditation does not need to be a part of a Jedi’s life. The truth is that meditation is not necessary for developing your connection with the Force. There are other ways that you can develop and deepen your connection with the Force, and the method that I use is contemplation. Instead of spending hours meditating on the Force, I prefer to spend that time contemplating the Force. The two may sound similar, but actually meditation and contemplation are in fact quite different. Of course, whether you believe mediation is important or not comes down to personal opinion. If something worked for you, then continue doing it. If you feel you benefit from time spent in mediation every day, then I fully support your choice to do that. However, on the other hand, if a Jedi has chosen to never to meditate at all, but prefers to spend their time deep in contemplation, then I fully respect that too. As we know, there is often more than one path to the top of the mountain, which means we can choose the path that is more suitable for us, and in so doing, we need not judge others on the path they have chosen for themselves. A Jedi should work to develop his or her connection with the Force every day, so whether you meditate, contemplate, or use some other method or practice, is not of primary importance. What is most important is that your ability to use the Force does slowly grow stronger over time, as a result of the training or practice you do with your own mind.

Jedi understand that there is always room for improvement in one’s skills and abilities, and this is especially true of one’s skill with a lightsaber. It is foolish to think we have mastered every technique with the lightsaber. Even Jedi Masters know that though other’s may look upon their lightsaber skills as perfect, in the Jedi Masters mind, perfection can never be attained, but is an ideal to always be striving towards. Even if one feels their lightsaber form cannot be improved upon any more, such things as the speed of the form or the strength of the form can always be increased and improved upon. Even the greatest Jedi of all, Jedi Grandmaster Yoda, believes that technique can and should always be improved upon. This means that we should find time each day, even if it’s only for 10 minutes, to practice our lightsaber techniques such as basic blocks and strikes, and also spinning and twirling the lightsaber. A jedi who can wield a lightsaber skillfully, is a sign of a Jedi who has true dedication to his or her path. I should add also that lightsaber training, whether alone or with a partner, is an excellent physical workout for the body, and daily lightsaber practice can keep one’s body strong and nimble, and if ever a real-life combat situation arises, your daily lightsaber training will serve you well in being victorious in battle against the enemy. I would say 20 – 30 minutes of lightsaber training per day is sufficient to give your body a good workout and also to see improvement in your lightsaber technique over time. Practice makes improvement, and every Jedi should want to be continuously improving their skills with a lightsaber.

Here is a video of me lightsaber training from almost 7 years ago: The Force is, as we know, a mysterious thing, and for many beings it is beyond their realm of understanding. For us Jedi though, we know the Force intimately, but some Jedi have a stronger bond with the Force than others, and therefore are able to wield more power with the Force. This may be due to natural talent with the Force, or may be due to years of hardship and struggle, training for hours every day to improve their understanding of, and their connection to the Force. We, each of us, are aware of our current level of skill with the Force, just as we are each aware of the goals we would like to attain regarding Force power in the future. Even though all Jedi have varying degrees of skill in using the Force, we each should respect and be content with our current level, while continually striving to improve our Force powers every day. Your daily Jedi training should not only see you practicing and keeping your skills sharp in hand-to-hand combat, lightsaber training, and practicing your various Force powers, but your daily training should also involve at least 1 hour of Force meditation or contemplation, and by this I mean that through your mind or consciousness alone you allow yourself to gently merge with the Force, becoming one with it, and allowing yourself to be fully immersed in the Force. Of course, we all have our normal daily tasks and duties to take care of, but continually improving one’s understanding and connection to the Force should be paramount in the mind of all Jedi. We should never take our connection to the Force for granted, but should continually strive to work on and improve our relationship with the Force, so that with each passing year, we become stronger jedi.
