Attention

These days everyone wants your attention. Attention is the beginning of the mind. It is a desired quantity by advertisers/business owners and power mongers, as well as teachers and people in distress.

Your attention can go to either dissipating your power or collecting it. Light entering the eyes collects attention and, with it, the power of the Force. Distractions dissipate it. So the Jedi acolyte must master their attention -- the center-point of their mind.

Attention is dissipated with mindless eating, careless movements, excessive talking, and uncontrolled muscle strain.

Attention is collected with mindful gazing (from yang), right movement (from yin), didactic talking (where it flows back to self), and attentive exercise (by organizing the self).
