Do Star Wars movies make you want to be a real Jedi? You probably don't get the chance to fly a spaceship to fight the Empire, but you can adopt parts of the Jedi culture into your life. Don't worry too much if you don't know how to use the Force and if you don't have a real lightsaber; hone your other qualities to get as close to a true Jedi as possible.
Steps
Part 1 of 3: Dressing up like a Jedi
Step 1. Find a brown shirt
To start, wear a brown short-sleeved or turtleneck shirt (make sure it's solid color). Put a white karate Gi on top. You can buy it on the internet or at a martial arts store.
Step 2. Put on a brown robe
The Jedi wore clothing suited to their monastic lifestyle. A monk's robe is great for mimicking the Jedi robe, but if you don't have time, you can wear a brown robe. If you wish, you can purchase a robe on the internet.
- Friar sais have hoods, so they are ideal for mimicking the Jedi robe.
- The cassock should reach the ground or at least to the ankles.
- Choose a simple and comfortable garment.
Step 3. Complete the look with a wide brown leather belt
Don't wear expensive or flashy belts. Remember that the Jedi are ascetics. Try to mimic that style.
Step 4. Put on baggy boots and pants
Remember to choose neutral colors. You shouldn't wear extravagant or eye-catching clothes, and your pants don't have to be loose enough to fall out.
Choose materials strong enough to withstand survival missions and outdoor work. There are no branded Jedi clothes
Step 5. Look for two cassocks of the same size
Wearing multiple cassocks is an ideal way to mimic the Jedi look. The bottom should be white, while the top should be the same color as the pants. Remember that Padawans only wear cassocks and simple robes.
Part 2 of 3: Behaving Like a Jedi
Step 1. Memorize the Jedi code
The code teaches you how to interact with the world and what to think of yourself. This is a great mantra to memorize and use as a guide on your way to becoming a master. Try to remember the code words whenever you feel frustrated or nervous. Here are what they are:
- There is no emotion, there is peace.
- There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
- There is no chaos, there is harmony.
- There is no restlessness, there is serenity.
- There is no death, there is the Force.
Step 2. Be brave and noble
Fear is the way to the dark side, so you don't have to let it consume you. It is not wrong to feel this emotion, as long as you admit it to your teacher, your apprentice or whoever is with you. If you can't talk to anyone about it, it's better to accept the fear consciously instead of suppressing it.
Step 3. Maintain inner calm
To hone your Jedi skills, you must achieve moral, ethical, and mental stability. Patience is essential for a Jedi. You shouldn't be irritated or worried all the time. Have faith in your abilities to handle difficult situations.
Step 4. Follow the way of the Jedi
The three pillars of the way are self-discipline, knowledge and the Strength. Remember that using the Force doesn't necessarily mean moving objects with your mind. It also means getting people to follow your will, perceive what happens and understand the truth of things. Try to inspire all your actions to the pillars of the way of the Jedi.
- Self-discipline dictates that you should exercise regularly and be diligent. Don't live on excess. Have you ever seen an out of shape Jedi?
- Accepting knowledge means engaging in study and learning as much as possible about the world and the creatures that inhabit it.
Part 3 of 3: Living Like a Jedi
Step 1. Meditate
Mindfulness meditation is an easy technique to get started that will help you get a capable and relaxed mind. The idea behind this discipline is that our brains constantly think and plan, but never have the time to live in the present. Sit on the ground with your legs crossed and practice inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth.
Try to be completely immersed in the present while doing it; just pay attention to your breathing and the sensations you feel with your body. When you notice your mind wandering, bring it back to the breath. Don't scold yourself; just notice what happens and forget about it
Step 2. Learn martial arts and sword fighting
Fencing courses teach you skills similar to wielding a lightsaber. Martial arts are a great way to train your body and mind at the same time. It is vital to be fit and agile if you want to become a Jedi. However, you should remember that combat is not the most important aspect of a Jedi's life. In the street there are no references to physical confrontations.
Step 3. Get rid of everything you don't need
Obi-Wan has lived in a cave for nineteen years, so you can probably do without some of your clothes and things you own. If you really want to be a Jedi you have to follow an ascetic lifestyle. The closer you get to a monastic life, the more you will be in tune with the way of the Jedi.
Step 4. Practice compassion
You should try to be a good person. You have to develop this quality as you do with the others. You don't always have to save people in danger, but you should try to do small acts of kindness every day.
For example, offer the rest of the groceries to a homeless person, or donate some of your clothes to charity
Step 5. Surround yourself with good people
Anakin was not bribed until he began spending his time with Darth Sidious. Don't let others negatively affect your worldview.
You should be open-minded, but be careful not to stray from the Jedi way. Evil is evil
Step 6. Search the internet for Jedi communities to talk to people who share your passion and experienced Jedi
There are communities like "Jedi Living" that offer practical advice.
Advice
- Relax your mind.
- If you become a Jedi, you must always follow the code.
- Study Obi-Wan Kenobi's technique for confusing people.
- Use the Force for good.
- Write the Jedi code on a piece of paper. Keep it in your pocket, or hang it where you will see it every day. That way you won't forget it!
