Meditation

Meditation was a mental technique practiced by Force-sensitives and non-Force-sensitives alike, by which one attempted to get beyond the reflexive, "thinking" mind into a deeper state of relaxation or awareness. Many Force-based organizations, such as the Jedi Order and the Order of the Sith Lords, used meditation for enhancing emotional control over self and for better connection to the Force. Members of these and other groups often built meditation chambers in which outside disturbances could be muted and shut out to provide a more conducive atmosphere for deep meditation. While meditation could be attained without any outside means, some individuals chose to meditate with the assistance of a rare, naturally occurring meditation crystal.
