Meditation/Legends

Meditation was a mental technique practiced by Force-users, by which one attempted to get beyond the reflexive, "thinking" mind into a deeper state of relaxation or awareness. Both Jedi and the Sith used meditation for enhancing emotional control over self and for better connection to the Force. When possible, the meditation could be held in a special place called the Meditation chamber, but this was not an obligatory requirement.

Variations
Several variations of this technique were developed during the history of the Jedi Order. Notable examples include:


 * Floating Meditation, also known as Rising Meditation - a meditation technique where Jedi meditated while using the Force to float several inches off the ground.


 * Meditation of Emptiness - a technique used by Jedi to purge oneself of feelings to create an emotional anchor and find a place where there was nothing else but peace.


 * Moving Meditation - a meditation technique where one meditated while repairing or building mechanical devices.
