Daily Practice Beat of the Force.
Introduction
The Beat of the Force is a breathing practice tailored for Jedi Monks and members of the Church of the Body to cultivate inner balance, mental clarity, and a profound connection to the Force. This continuous breathing exercise uses a metronome to enhance our presence and awareness of the living universe that surrounds us.

Find a comfortable seated position, either on a chair or on the floor with your legs crossed. Ensure your spine is straight, and your shoulders are relaxed. Close your eyes or maintain a soft gaze.
- Set a metronome to a comfortable pace, usually around 54-60 beats per minute. If you don’t have a physical metronome, you can use a metronome app or an online metronome. ( I prefer 54 bpm lately)
- Begin by taking a few deep breaths, allowing your body and mind to relax. Ground yourself in the present moment, letting go of any distractions or concerns.
- Start the Beat of the Force practice by inhaling deeply through your nose for a count of four. As you inhale, silently say one word per count in the following order: Will(1), Dare(2), Serve (3), Peace (4).
- Transition smoothly to exhaling slowly and completely through your mouth for a count of four, imagining that you are releasing any blockages or imbalances related to these aspects. Silently say one word per count: Know(1), Calm (2), Love (3), Sense (4).
- Continue this cycle of inhaling and exhaling without holding the breath, allowing the words and their qualities to flow seamlessly through you, tuning you into the rhythm of life.
- Repeat this process for several rounds, cycling through the words with each count of the breath.
- This creates a continuous flow of breath without any breaks or holding. Repeat the cycle for at least 5 minutes, or as long as you feel comfortable. Gradually, you can increase the duration of the practice as you become more familiar with the technique.
The Beat of the Force is a powerful practice that can help reduce stress, increase focus, and deepen your connection to the Force. The metronome-assisted continuous four-count breathing practice can help reduce stress, increase focus, and deepen your connection to the Force. It is an excellent way to start your day or ground yourself before engaging in other Monastic Jediism or Church of the Body rituals.
You are encouraged to practice consistently for the best results and to adapt the practice to your own needs and comfort levels.
It is likely in future I will personally add mental chanting to this practice.
