Jedi Monk Middle Pillar/Light Attunement Major

Introduction

The Middle Pillar Exercise is a powerful meditation technique used in various mystical traditions, including Hermetic Qabalah and the Western Mystery Tradition. In Monastic Jediism, we have adapted this exercise to help practitioners balance and harmonize their connection to the Force, drawing upon the foundational concepts of our faith.

The Monastic Jedi Middle Pillar Exercise combines elements of the Qabalistic Cross, the Eight Pillars of the Force, and the Five Tenets of the Jedi Order. This meditation practice helps to cleanse and fortify the practitioner’s energy system, fostering spiritual growth and self-awareness.

Ground yourself in the present moment, letting go of any distractions or concerns. Prepare with the Light Attunement, the Beat of the Force, and or The Breath of Life.
