During these challenging times, it’s important to engage in self-care. We all live in a world full of distractions with an overwhelming amount of information—which can result in mental and physical stress. There are many options for learning and practicing mindfulness to help your mind and body feel better, but it is often challenging to find the tools that work best for you. Star Wars is a great source of wisdom—teaching the fans about balance, inner peace, and focus—through the words of Jedi masters Yoda, Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and many more. The Jedi Mind: Secrets From the Force for Balance and Peace is a source of those philosophical tenets—collecting memorable quotes from the galaxy far, far away and combining them with mindfulness practices from our own galaxy.
Beginning with the Jedi Code, author Amy Ratcliffe takes you on a guided journey to mindfulness. Every section starts with a quote from the Star Wars universe leading to a reflection of its origin and how it relates with our daily lives—ultimately engaging the readers with a mental and/or physical practice. Ratcliffe beautifully connects both the Star Wars galaxy and ours together with meaningful scenarios that help the fans understand the challenges of our lives through the points of view of everyone’s favorite characters.
The Jedi Mind features 20 color illustrations by Christina Chung—elevating the thoughtful knowledge within the book through soothing colors and balanced design. To wrap this beautiful collection of Star Wars mindfulness, graphic designers Evelyn Furuta and Kim Di Santo created a relaxing book layout with a muted color palette—helping the reader visually connect with Ratcliffe’s words of wisdom.
The Jedi Mind can be read at any pace—in one setting, once a day, or even as a reference for specific practices and life lessons. It is a wonderful source book for any Star Wars fans who seek or are curious about mindfulness.
