Combat Meditation

"I don’t think regular meditation is going to do it for you; it doesn’t work for some Jedi - like my father. Instead, training with his lightsaber is how he meditates. He tells me it’s a very cathartic way to deal with powerful emotions like frustration and anger."

- Kalja Sairu Leidias to Akain Karna

Combat Meditation is a technique devised by Tulsar Leidias that was initially meant to help him focus his powers since he had trouble accessing them outside of combat. Later on he found it was a good way to deal with darker emotions like rage and anger without resorting to the Dark Side.

The process involves fighting with eyes closed while using the Force to completely guide one’s actions. There are generally two ways to go about this. The first is to pit oneself against remotes, with a very skilled user like Tulsar being able to handle twenty or more at once. The other is to fight against another opponent and once again let the Force guide every action. They key is that there must be some form of danger for the one meditating to defend against.

While Tulsar may not be the originator of Combat Meditation, he is certainly the most well-known practitioner and his techniques for meditation were later used by Akain Karna for the same purpose as he found it helped him deal with his anger towards Lyli Var'nio.
