Candle meditation

'Candle meditation was a contemplative exercise. The Jedi in question would light a candle, then watch it burn out, envisioning the flame's progress as that of an individual's life, with flickers in the flame representing challenges, and flares or retractions representing various highs and lows. If a flame was extinguished early, the Jedi was advised to consider the misfortune of premature death due to accident or suicide; some Jedi instructors would deliberately extinguish their pupils' candles to force them to confront the unnatural nature of murder.

Candles which burned over an hour or half an hour were common, though beginner candles could be shorter and candles for s longer. Jedi Master Badaadi Gol-Yossagris was considered the Order's foremost expert on candle meditation, having conducted one session of twenty-six days without eating, drinking, or moving; his recording in the on the experience was considered required viewing for any serious student of candle meditation.

Tirien Kal-Di enjoyed candle meditation, and shared the exercise with his Narasi Rican. On Guudria, he introduced Zaella Sabir to it as well in an effort to convert her away from her Sith mindset.
